 Amador County – Coming back from a slim early deficit to take a 3-vote re-election win November 4th, Councilman Greg Baldwin took another victory last Thursday in being named Vice Mayor of Plymouth. He will be second to Mayor Jon Colburn, who was chosen remain as mayor for another year, on a 3-1 vote. Councilwoman Patricia Fordyce was the only “no” voter, saying before the vote that her only problem with it was that she would rather see the rotating representation in the mayor position. Councilmen Baldwin and Colburn and Councilwoman Patricia Shackleton took the oath of office near the end of the regular session, with the oath administered by City Clerk Gloria Stoddard. Fordyce then passed the baton of vice mayor by nominating Baldwin, and the council approved the nomination 4-0. Councilman Michael O’Meara was absent. Mayor Colburn then appointed Fordyce to represent the city council on the Amador Regional Planning Committee, which has members from the Amador County Board of Supervisors and the cities of Ione, Sutter Creek and Jackson. Fordyce said the committee originally met on Thursday nights but moved the meeting day to accommodate Plymouth City Council’s membership. She said the committee also is looking for a public member, preferably a resident of the unincorporated area of the county. Former public member, and Plymouth veterinarian Elida Malick resign the position in November. To get information about the committee, contact Sutter Creek City Councilman Tim Murphy.
