Tribal Property Update
Our office received an inquiry about activity on the former gun range property. The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians (Tribe) has confirmed that the gun range remains closed. Tribal Fire has been performing routine fire prevention by clearing brush. In addition, the Tribe hired a consultant firm to complete a study to determine the highest and best use for the property. The consultant may have been observed surveying the property as the study is expected to be completed soon. Based on the results of study, the Tribe should be making a decision on how to use that property by the end of June. Once they have a concrete plan approved they will submit a request for an encroachment permit to the County.

Chipping Program on Hold
The executive board of the El Dorado County Fire Safe Council has made the difficult decision to suspend the chipping program. No new applications will be accepted. Applications that have a job number assigned will be completed. The program is currently funded by a grant from CAL FIRE and the grant dollars have been nearly depleted. The homeowner insurance crisis, El Dorado County Vegetation ordinance and the COVID-19 stay at home order have contributed to an unprecedented increase in demand for the program. The all-volunteer staff are aggressively seeding additional funding sources from our collaborators and will reopen the program as soon as additional funding is secured.
