Council names Cimente mayor, Sherrado vice mayor; reassigns commission seats and dissolves special committees
Summary
Angels Camp council appointed Cimente as mayor and Sherrado as vice mayor, assigned members to multiple regional and county committees, and voted to dissolve the city’s infrastructure/finance and all‑hazards special committees, consolidating committee representation and backups.
At the Jan. 7 meeting, the Angels Camp City Council reorganized leadership and committee assignments, appointing Cimente as mayor and Sherrado as vice mayor and assigning council members to a slate of regional committees and boards.
Council members nominated and confirmed Mayor Cimente and Vice Mayor Sherrado after the mayoral and vice‑mayoral nominations were placed on the floor and accepted by the nominees. Council then discussed committee assignments, including Central Sierra Economic Development (Central Sierra), LAFCO, UWPA/CPPA, solid‑waste and other regional boards. Members volunteered and swapped backup roles to ensure coverage; staff compiled the final assignments and confirmed backups during the meeting.
Council also voted to dissolve two previously formed special committees — the infrastructure/finance/budget policy committee and the all‑hazards committee — after members said the special committee meetings repeatedly brought items back to the full council and that several items required full‑council decision. Council directed staff to return an item formally dissolving the committees (for administrative record) and to consider ad‑hoc or task‑force formats for narrow issues such as roads maintenance if needed.
Discussion included a request that new committee designees carry forward public-safety and pedestrian-safety priorities (crosswalks were cited as a continuing concern), and that council representation on regional boards should carry clear goals, including pursuing funding opportunities and advocating for local priorities.
The council handled appointments and committee assignments by motion and recorded roll call votes for confirmation; no members publicly opposed the final slate recorded in the meeting packet.
