Council also authorized a $250,000 appropriation from the Measure L fund and an amendment (No. 4) to the city’s agreement with Dewberry Engineers Inc. in the amount of $188,240.

Why it matters: The project removes deteriorating sewer mains located in Hangtown Creek that have a history of inflow and infiltration, reduces the volume sent to the city’s water-reclamation facility, and relocates a primary sewer main into the El Dorado Trail alignment to avoid costly right-of-way impacts on Main Street.

Staff presentation and findings

Miss McConnell, presenting for city engineering staff, said the project dates to earlier work begun in 2012 and resumed in 2019 with Dewberry. Two pipes in the creek — a 6-inch and a 16-inch main that converge to a 24-inch line — were identified as in poor condition and subject to inflow and infiltration. McConnell described the evaluation of alternatives and why a Main Street realignment was not chosen: right-of-way acquisitions, private-property impacts and major traffic disruption made that option impractical. The chosen alignment places a new 24-inch main in the El Dorado Trail, with short, concrete-encased segments near the creek wall and selected “fly-line” supports where services must be collected and lowered under the creek.

McConnell told the council that a previously undocumented cultural resource — a bedrock mortar found in the creek bed during a biological survey — will be protected by establishing an environmentally sensitive area and avoiding construction in that immediate location. Based on the final initial study–mitigated negative declaration (IS/MND) and the mitigation monitoring and reporting plan, staff concluded the project would not have significant environmental impacts after mitigation.

Schedule and funding

Staff indicated the project is in the city’s five-year capital-improvement plan, expects to be fully funded for construction in fiscal year 2026–27, and anticipates a spring 2027 construction start. The approved amendment to Dewberry’s agreement will enable completion of final design and preparation of bid documents.

Public comment and council questions

Placerville resident Sue Rodman, who identified herself as a member of the Measure H and L Committee, gave historical context on the city’s sewer system and urged timely removal of the old pipes from Hangtown Creek, noting construction plans for a 6-inch main dated to 1933. “Let’s get her done,” Rodman said.

Council members asked whether a building on Locust (the ToyTech building) would retain a private service and whether the city had informed the property owner that responsibilities might change if the city caps an existing line and the building relies on a private service from the street. McConnell said ownership and responsibility for private connections would be addressed during final design discussions with affected property owners.

Vote and action

The council moved and seconded the item and approved the IS/MND, the Dewberry amendment No. 4 for $188,240, and the $250,000 appropriation from the Measure L fund by roll call vote (Carter, Noe, Yarbrough, Vice Mayor Gabbard, Mayor Clerici — Aye). The motion passed.

Ending note: Staff said the final design work will address property-owner interfaces, utility tie-ins and mitigation measures required by the IS/MND; construction is programmed in the 2026–27 fiscal year.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Placerville City Council Meeting 02 11 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Placerville City Council on Feb. 11, 2025, adopted a final initial study–mitigated negative declaration and approved amendments to an engineering agreement to advance the Clay Street–to–Locust Avenue sewer relocation into final design and right-of-way work.","taxTitle","Placerville, El Dorado County, California","taxId",12827,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6334551,"Placerville council approves retroactive police-pay changes, fee adjustment and parking-pay-station upgrade; acknowledges sales-tax report",1117,874000,1991000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2295419-1b082a64aeaf2f1f20300ad78d7125cb&start=874&end=1991","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2295419-1b082a64aeaf2f1f20300ad78d7125cb/thumbnail_874000.jpg","/articles/6334551/Placerville/El-Dorado-County/California/Placerville-council-approves-retroactive-police-pay-changes-fee-adjustment-and-parking-pay-station-upgrade-acknowledges-sales-tax-report","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6334551-7d1ec9cf0ea308f28d54c50319c9d815/orig.mp4?Expires=1773348545&Signature=HnD8nEmMnUDeLOswX96pJZh~gNk6SZR5EjEDoJDdckFDPJDV3~ygKzbg0s-hHytqLjWQn3iOI1TrvyndF9ssE~Ax-auEQSWKgUjnmpWyR8wyirg78v~82TZ~SlPT1iy6nZ9oXwEfo8y6biRkN-YNIvD2MYWcfgNzw0n9oQoRt1Cge1mHA5Qip3o9-LzL~SAV1XECpKlU~QAubVxPHms8XjIDbN26I2~tGhRpmdjxC6tvUJw-PmBBnH8yw~AxYPJv~tYfJoBqL2k2~E~mKds81~cYSZ06ECamyIFN6wMan15md8NATF2Yo~OzFMpfZWStlMaW2BpGIUSEKkpwSskkxw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Key votes at the Placerville City Council meeting on Feb. 11, 2025: the council approved several routine and staff-recommended items by roll call, including retroactive pay adjustments for certain sworn administrative police positions, a 1.6% TIM fee increase, a downtown parking pay-station upgrade contract, and acknowledgement of the quarterly sales-tax and economic reports.

Summary of actions and outcomes

1) Retroactive sworn-administrative pay adjustments (Agenda item 7.5) — Approved
Motion summary: Retroactive approval and affirmation of increases in holiday pay, master police officer pay, POST incentive pay, and uniform allowance pay for the chief of police, police commander, and police lieutenant positions effective the first full pay period in July 2021. Staff said these ad pays were already being paid but require council resolution so the amounts are Creditable to CalPERS retirement pay calculations.
Votes: Council member Carter — Aye; Council member Noe — Aye; Council member Yarbrough — Aye; Vice Mayor Gabbard — Aye; Mayor Clerici — Aye. Tally: 5–0. Staff projected the annual cost for the sworn administrative positions at $12,636; the adopted FY 2024–25 operating budget assumed roughly $12,000 for these ad pays.

2) Traffic Impact Mitigation (TIM) fee increase (Agenda item 12.2) — Approved
Motion summary: Approve a 1.6% increase in TIM fees, reflecting the engineering new-record construction-cost index change from January 2024 to January 2025; fee change effective April 14, 2025. Staff noted the application cutoff date is close of business Friday, April 11, 2025 (staff report had an incorrect calendar date that was corrected in the meeting).
Votes: Carter — Aye; Noe — Aye; Yarbrough — Aye; Vice Mayor Gabbard — Aye; Mayor Clerici — Aye. Tally: 5–0.

3) Downtown parking pay-station upgrade (Agenda item 12.3) — Approved
Motion summary: Authorize the assistant city manager/finance director to negotiate and execute a contract with Flowbird Urban Intelligence for a front-panel/pay-station upgrade for nine daily pay stations in the downtown parking system for $32,576.75 and approve $35,000 in budget appropriations from the downtown parking fund. Staff said the upgrade replaces the front panels and electronics, reduces maintenance costs, and is substantially less expensive than replacing full units.
Votes: Carter — Aye; Noe — Aye; Yarbrough — Aye; Vice Mayor Gabbard — Aye; Mayor Clerici — Aye. Tally: 5–0. Staff estimated installation lead time at about eight weeks with an expected late April/early May installation window and a 13-month warranty for the new front door.

4) Consent calendar (excluding item 7.5) — Approved
Motion summary: All consent calendar items except for item 7.5 were approved by a single roll-call motion.
Votes: Carter — Aye; Noe — Aye; Yarbrough — Aye; Vice Mayor Gabbard — Aye; Mayor Clerici — Aye. Tally: 5–0.

5) Acknowledge and file ACL sales-tax and economic reports (Agenda item 15.1) — Acknowledged
Motion summary: Council acknowledged and filed the ACL sales-tax and economic report for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2024. Staff reported an 8.8% decrease on a cash basis that included prior-period adjustments; excluding adjustments the decrease was 2.6%. The drop reflected lower auto and transportation revenues and retail closures; staff noted new local openings that are expected to bolster future receipts.
Votes: Not individually recorded for this summary item; staff report accepted as presented.

Notes on procedure and staffing

• Several motions were moved and seconded during the meeting and carried on unanimous roll-call votes as recorded above. When staff presented corrections (for example, the TIM fee application date), staff noted the correction on the public record. • For the police pay resolution (7.5), staff and a resident commenter characterized the item as a housekeeping action necessary to make certain pay components Creditable for CalPERS retirement purposes; the city attorney previously reported the tentative agreement with the Placerville Police Officers Association (PPOA) and the council approved the tentative agreement points in 2021.

Ending: The council’s unanimous votes advanced final design and procurement steps on the street- and parking-related projects and formalized the retroactive pay adjustments for sworn administrative positions; the minutes and staff reports contain the full roll-call records and supporting documents.","Key votes at the Placerville City Council meeting on Feb. 11, 2025: the council approved several staff-recommended items by roll call, including retroactive pay adjustments for certain sworn administrative police positions, a 1.6% TIM fee increase, a downtown parking pay-station upgrade contract, and acknowledgement of the quarterly sales-tax and economic reports.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6334559,"Marshall presents economic-impact report to Placerville council, forecasts $5.4 billion regional output over 10 years",473,183000,656000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2295419-1b082a64aeaf2f1f20300ad78d7125cb&start=183&end=656","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2295419-1b082a64aeaf2f1f20300ad78d7125cb/thumbnail_183000.jpg","/articles/6334559/Placerville/El-Dorado-County/California/Marshall-presents-economic-impact-report-to-Placerville-council-forecasts-54-billion-regional-output-over-10-years","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6334559-28c383d579de08a11f81a2eff9b93e7b/orig.mp4?Expires=1773348545&Signature=TRjMYaLgKnEgetOIcI7poZwimh2bJsKhPG3hOG1UxUq5HlHYMn7KlM9DoPpi~mEefgjCl9RZSuYNXuRXMkbs5h1bw84jdzFVlavpevl~rhiK2ccjckTWwPEdlPXxZoL1IkSUu2o4XCZbixRwXMRkDLyW7vICJGCEjoCJVTnWKqhtAKBvOi9lMoeBsHXMBK5lzzAjuZCuINtGz6xrAP6VWL1kxTa3RsBtbPDsTd4NtBHhREGIbJHuGSOBs390iwGOIbVuuFy89bSe6KMc1iPwxBADbOfN9wUVAfWrVSXjQAJs5Yo4pObvM1wv5wgzW~xPiENlakRHI7IgZLzLkvwBmw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Marshall Medical Center presented an economic impact analysis to the Placerville City Council on Feb. 11, 2025, saying the hospital and its affiliated clinics will produce an estimated $5.4 billion in regional economic output and support more than 27,000 jobs over a 10-year forecast period.

The report, commissioned by Marshall and prepared by Dr. Varshney using the InPlan model, also estimated nearly $2.4 billion in new labor income over the same period and an increase in tax revenue that the presentation described as about a 90.9-basis-point addition to El Dorado County general-fund receipts.

Why it matters: Marshall is a major private employer in El Dorado County and told the council its operations and planned capital investments generate measurable local and regional economic activity beyond direct patient care. Council members and staff heard the numbers as context for planning and development discussions in the city and county.

Maya Schneider, executive director of business and strategy for Marshall, told the council Marshall operates as an independent nonprofit hospital and serves the county with a network of clinics. “Our vision is that we commit to creating a community where everyone can achieve their highest desired state of health and well-being,” Schneider said during the presentation. She said Marshall employed “over 1,600 people,” engaged nearly 62,000 patients in the previous year and logged more than 20,000 emergency-department visits in a calendar year.

Schneider summarized the economic-impact study’s components as capital investments, operating expenditures and the hospital’s public-benefit activities. The consultant’s 10-year forecast (2024–2034) projects the $5.4 billion output figure and the job and labor-income totals. Schneider noted the report included impacts in the broader Greater Sacramento region because some employees live and spend outside El Dorado County.

The presentation also highlighted planned near-term expansion: Marshall said it expects to open a new clinic in El Dorado Hills in June or July 2025, with final timing dependent on licensing. Schneider invited city officials to the ribbon cutting and said summary and full versions of the study were available to the public.

Council members thanked Marshall for the presentation and noted the hospital’s role in the local economy. No formal action was taken; the item was a presentation for the council’s information.

Ending note: The presentation will be available with the meeting materials; Marshall provided a printed summary at the meeting and offered contact information for the full report.","Marshall presented an economic impact analysis to the Placerville City Council on Feb. 11, 2025, reporting that the hospital and its clinics will generate an estimated $5.4 billion in regional economic output and create 27,000 jobs over the next decade; Marshall also announced a new clinic in El Dorado Hills planned for summer 2025.","actionData","errors"]
