Hi All,

On 6/10/20 two appeals were filed of the Planning Commission’s 5/28/20 approval of the Dollar General project in Cool. The appeals request that the Board of Supervisors (BOS) hold a hearing on the project. The hearing is set for July 14, 2020 at 2:00 pm and my office will send out information on how to participate in the hearing as soon as it is available.

I am saddened to hear that some community members have said that I do not care about their community. I absolutely care about every community in El Dorado County and especially in District IV. However, we must remember that every project applicant is entitled to a fair process for their project, which means having their project heard by a neutral unbiased decisionmaker. If the applicant accuses me of being biased against their project, then the applicant could ask that I be recused from the hearing. As such, I will be refraining from taking any actions that could compromise my ability to serve as a neutral unbiased decisionmaker, including any communications that could give the appearance that I am collaborating with project opponents.

Please send your comments regarding the Dollar General project to the El Dorado County Clerk of the Board at edc.cob@edcgov.us  By sending your comments to the Clerk, your comments will be distributed to all 5 Supervisors and become part of the public record.

To recap:

• The Dollar General project in Cool has been appealed to the Board of Supervisors.
  
  
• The Board of Supervisors hearing has been set for June 30, 2020 at 2:00 pm
  
  
• Applicants are entitled to a fair process for their project.
  
  
• Do I care about your community? Yes I do!
