Michelle Patterson & Kristine Guth are with the El Dorado County, Emergency Medical Services and Emergency Preparedness and Response and will discuss a new Vegetation Management Ordinance which may impact homeowner insurance.
Lori Parlin, County Supervisor of District IV updated us on a number of issues affecting EDC with an emphasis on issues relevant to Cameron Park or nearby areas. Hitting only some of the highlights:
The County wants to increase traffic impact mitigation (TIM) fees that developers have to pay to improve the infrastructure around their developments. Facing opposition from developers, of course.
The Cameron Park Airport is working with surrounding property owners on bringing their trees down to a FAA-approved height.
Cannabis ordinances have been approved and licenses are currently being processed. Looking to remove illegal cannabis grows.
EDC now has an ordinance mandating 100’ of defensible space from structure; Enforcement will begin in 2020. Good to start talking and working as a neighborhood since it does no good for only 1-2 homes in a neighborhood to have defensible space.

Fire Districts: The County is supportive of those districts that are working towards efficiencies such as consolidation.
Homeowners Insurance: The issue of policy cancellations because of fear of wildfires is becoming a crisis. The County has sent a letter to the Insurance Commissioner expressing our concern on the deep impacts to EDC.
There are a number of historical pioneer cemeteries that have become the responsibility of the county due to no private owner. Although there is going to be a vote on a $8 parcel tax to take care of this funding, there was discussion on whether the club might want to take on maintenance of a cemetery.
We thanked Supervisor Parlin for the informative presentation and Q&A period, and said she is welcome back any time.
