New Nav Center Proposal

JH

On Tuesday, September 20, I am pleased to announce that Supervisor Parlin and I are bringing forward a board item to address our shelter crisis.  It will be time certain at 1:30 pm, and the action before the Board is much more comprehensive in scope than previously considered items.  Here is a summary of the recommended action:

1)  Terminate the Use Agreement with CalFire for the old juvenile hall, effective December 15, 2022.

2)  Implement a temporary Navigation Center as quickly as possible after December 15 at that location.

3)  Work with the Superior Court to relocate the juvenile court (under old juvenile hall) to Building C.

4)  Prepare architectural/design drawings and cost estimates to construct a permanent Navigation Center at 300 Fair Lane (old Sheriff's site), constructed no later than December 2024.

5) Complete design drawings and cost estimates for a new juvenile hall and return to BOS for further direction

6) Return to BOS within 60 days with potential locations for the Registrar of Voters.

Please join us for this critically important item.

Mosquito Bridge Groundbreaking

MB2

The Mosquito Bridge Project officially launched on September 6 when we held a groundbreaking ceremony for this $93 million bridge which is 100% federally funded and will provide a critical link between Mosquito and Placerville. With the Mosquito Fire raging in El Dorado County, I think we all recognize how vital this connection is. 

A big congratulations to our entire DOT team...this is a once-in-a-career project and it has come to fruition because of their advocacy and tenacity. Let's build a bridge!

Every year, I treasure this ceremony when the students at the El Dorado Adventist School honor local responders in commemoration of the heroes of Sept. 11.  It's a time to celebrate the best of America and to remember the sacrifices of average Americans who confronted evil in defense of our nation.
