Gam Saan Trail Dedication
On Friday, February 11, 2022, Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park hosted a ribbon cutting for the Gam Saan Trail. Supervisor Parlin attended the ceremony as she is proud to have supported the effort to provide funding from El Dorado County for its project to connect the trail from State Parks to Henningsen Lotus Park. The trail and connector have been in the works for years and the community is very happy to see all of the partners collaborate to bring this project to fruition. Thank you to everyone who engaged and supported this long-awaited trail and connector project. A video of the ceremony is available on the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/marshallgolddiscovery/videos/697445578292228

The Tribe is proposing to expand its Red Hawk Casino with the addition of a hotel, parking and entertainment center. The existing facility includes a 278,000-square-foot casino and adjacent eight-level parking garage. The hotel project was previously addressed in environmental reviews and is not a subject of this Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA).

Safer from Wildfires in 1-2-3
California officials unveil the “Safer from Wildfires” framework for improving fire safety and reducing losses. “The goal is not just to save lives, but also to hold down premiums and make coverage available in more areas.”
While California has existing wildfire building standards for new development as established by CAL FIRE, this partnership established a framework that is consistent, based in fire science, and applies to retrofits for older existing homes in order to help them seek and maintain insurance coverage, thus giving policyholders and insurance companies a shared strategy for reducing wildfire risks.
Currently, 13 insurance companies representing 40 percent of the insurance marketplace offer discounts for safer homes and communities with more companies interested. The amount of interest from insurance companies to offer mitigation discounts has grown from just 7 percent of the market just three years ago. View the list of insurance companies currently offering discounts at the Department of Insurance website. http://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/105-type/95-guides/03-res/Insurers-Currently-Offering-Discounts.cfm
