  • Annex a City of Angels Camp
    Annex A City of Angels Camp A.1 Introduction This Annex details the hazard mitigation planning elements specific to the City of Angels Camp, a participating jurisdiction to the Calaveras County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). This annex is not intended to be a standalone document, but appends to and supplements the information contained in the base plan document. As such, all sections of the base plan, including the planning process and other procedural requirements apply to and were met by the City. This annex provides additional information specific to the City of Angels Camp, with a focus on providing additional details on the risk assessment and mitigation strategy for this community. A.2 Planning Process As described above, the City of Angels Camp followed the planning process detailed in Section 3.0 of the base plan. In addition to providing representation on the Calaveras County Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC), the City formulated their own internal planning team to support the broader planning process requirements. LHMP planning participants included staff from the following City departments: Steve Flaigg – Building Inspector Colleen Haerr – City Engineer David Myers – City Engineer David Hanham – Planning Director Nathan Pry, Deputy Chief/Fire Marshall Todd Fordahl – Angels Camp Police Department The City of Angels is a small city and so while only two of the City employees were able to attend the second planning committee meeting, much of the coordination was accomplished by emails, phone calls, and in-house discussions. The in-house discussion meetings were held by two or three people at any one time and all of the participants had a chance to review the material and provide data and input to the City of Angel’s Camp Annex.

In a world where stories of tragedy and gloom shake and threaten us, it was the legacy and inspiration re-awakened by the passing of Nelson Mandela that brought much needed hope and positivity as the year drew to a close. Many of us recall anti-apartheid protests as our introduction to a life of activism and defending Human Rights. As we reflect on the change in public attitudes to this amazing man and how his spirit of reconciliation, justice and humanity won the hearts of the whole world, we can gain hope for our struggle to seek fairness and recognition for our friends who have had to flee to seek safety on our shores.

PREFACE. IN the month of August, 1841, I attended an anti-slavery convention in Nantucket, at which it was my happiness to become acquainted with FREDERICK DOUGLASS, the writer of the following Narrative. He was a stranger to nearly every member of that body; but, having recently made his escape from the southern prison-house of bondage, and feeling his curiosity excited to ascertain the principles and measures of the abolitionists,—of whom he had heard a somewhat vague description while he was a slave,—he was induced to give his attendance, on the occasion alluded to, though at that time a resident in New Bedford.
