At their Dec. 17 meeting, county supervisors reluctantly agreed Amador couldn't afford to put up a matching $5.6 million to gain a $22.7 million state grant offer. However, "hundreds of staff hours" in more than half a dozen county departments, and $88,000 in consultant fees, went toward securing the grant offer, said Jon Hopkins, director of the general services department.
