Angels Camp meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Angels Camp Council to weigh $1.49M water contract, data center moratorium

Over the past two weeks, the Angels Camp City Council, LLD Commission, and Planning Commission held meetings, but minutes have not yet been published, so no official decisions are confirmed. The most consequential item on the upcoming agenda is a $1,492,820 construction contract for the Critical Water/Wastewater Infrastructure Protection Project, along with a proposed 45-day moratorium on data centers.

City Council (Aug. 4)

The council met on Aug. 4 with an agenda that included two ordinances: Ordinance 555 would amend the Municipal Code to allow barbering and cosmetology as home occupations, and Ordinance 556 would streamline permitting for electric vehicle charging and hydrogen fueling stations. The council also considered ratification of Construction Change Order No. 003 for Water Meter Replacement Phase 1 & 2.

LLD Commission (Aug. 5)

The LLD Commission held a special meeting to discuss wetlands ownership and responsibility, a contract amendment with Dario to include trail maintenance, unaddressed weed abatement and defensible space clearing, the May and June 2026 financial report, and maintenance of the LLD owner's email list and website.

Planning Commission (Aug. 13)

The Planning Commission held public hearings on three land-use items: a resolution to abandon an alley portion between Mark Twain Elementary School and 784/786 Stanislaus Avenue (retaining a sewerline easement), a resolution of intent to add 1141 South Main Street (APN 062-003-033) to the city's Register of Cultural Resources, and a resolution of intent to rezone a 0.4-acre parcel (APN 057-022-055) from Right-of-Way to Single-Family Residential (R-1). A resolution on the city's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan was continued to September 10th.

Coming up: City Council (Aug. 18)

The next City Council meeting will include public hearings on Ordinance 555 and Ordinance 556 (the same home occupation and EV/hydrogen permitting items from Aug. 4), plus an urgency ordinance establishing a 45-day moratorium on data centers. The council will also consider approving the 2024-2028 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) 5-Year Plan and authorizing a $1,492,820 construction contract to Njirich and Sons, Inc. for the water/wastewater infrastructure project.

Angels Camp council set to weigh home occupation rules, museum commission repeal; outcomes pending

Angels Camp residents had a light meeting schedule over the past two weeks, with one commission meeting cancelled and two others held — but with no minutes published yet, outcomes for the City Council and Planning Commission items are not yet available.

City Council — July 7

The City Council agenda included several notable items, though the city has not yet released minutes showing what was decided:

• **Public hearing on Ordinance 555** — a proposed amendment to Municipal Code Section 17.06.060 that would add barbering and cosmetology to the list of allowable home occupations, subject to development standards.
• **Resolution 26-67** — setting the GANN spending limit for fiscal year 2026-27. The GANN limit is a state-imposed cap on how much revenue a city can spend each year.
• **Ordinance 556** — repealing Chapter 2.50, which established the Museum Commission, along with Ordinance 348.
• **Agreement 26-21** — a tourism promotion agreement with the Calaveras Visitors Bureau.
• **Agreement 26-22 / Resolution 26-68** — a lease and operations agreement for the Angels Camp Museum with the Calaveras Visitors Bureau.
• **Agreement 26-23 / Resolution 26-69** — a consolidated public safety technology agreement with AXON Enterprise, Inc.

Because minutes have not been published, it is not yet known which items were approved, modified, or continued.

Planning Commission — July 9

The Planning Commission was scheduled to hold a public hearing on Resolution of Intent 26-09, which would recommend adding Section 17.06.240 to the Angels Municipal Code. The new section would address state requirements for streamlining permits for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) and Hydrogen Fueling Stations (HFS).

This item is a recommendation to the City Council, not a final decision. The commission was also scheduled to approve minutes from its June 11, 2026 meeting and hear committee reports.

Outcomes are not yet available because minutes have not been published.

LLD Commission — July 2

The regular meeting of the LLD Commission scheduled for July 2 was cancelled. No business was conducted.

Coming up

No meetings are listed on the city's upcoming schedule for the next 14 days. Residents who want to confirm whether the council or Planning Commission acted on the items above should check the city's official agenda and minutes portal, which is the authoritative source for recorded votes and final outcomes.

Angels Camp Council to consider home occupation rules, museum changes, public safety tech

The Angels Camp LLD Commission cancelled its July 2 meeting, so no decisions were made in the past two weeks. The City Council has a full agenda for its July 7 meeting, including a public hearing on allowing barbering and cosmetology as home occupations, a proposal to repeal the Museum Commission, and a technology agreement with AXON Enterprise. The Planning Commission also meets July 9 to consider streamlining permits for electric vehicle charging stations.

City Council meeting July 7

Home occupation expansion. The council will hold a public hearing on Ordinance 555, which would add barbering and cosmetology to the list of allowable home occupations in Section 17.06.060 of the municipal code, subject to development standards. If approved, residents could operate these businesses from their homes under specific rules.

GANN spending limit. Resolution 26-67 would set the GANN limit for fiscal year 2026-27, a state-required cap on appropriations.

Museum Commission repeal. Ordinance 556 would repeal Chapter 2.50 of the municipal code and Ordinance 348, effectively dissolving the Museum Commission. The council will also consider two related agreements with the Calaveras Visitors Bureau: Agreement 26-21 for tourism promotion, and Agreement 26-22/Resolution 26-68 for a lease and operations agreement for the Angels Camp Museum.

Public safety technology. Agreement 26-23/Resolution 26-69 would authorize a consolidated public safety technology agreement with AXON Enterprise, Inc., covering equipment and services.

Planning Commission meeting July 9

Streamlined EV/hydrogen permits. The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Resolution of Intent 26-09, which recommends adding a new section (17.06.240) to the Angels Municipal Code. This would align local rules with state requirements for streamlining permits for electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) and hydrogen fueling stations (HFS). The item is a recommendation to the City Council, not a final decision. The commission will also approve minutes from June 11, 2026, and hear committee reports.
