The El Dorado County Fair is in full swing at the El Dorado County Fair and Event Center in Placerville, CA. For 2024, the County Fair has been scheduled from June 13th to 16th, with the fair theme being "Barrows, Boots and Bling". The County Fair hosts many events for local and regional participants, which include funnel cake eating contests, kids big wheel races, 4x4 Rubicon Challenge, wheelbarrow races and many more. The County Fair has many concession stands, fair games, roller coasters, carnival rides and many other opportunities for wholesome family entertainment. The 2024 Junior Livestock Auction on June 15th helps to support local livestock producers and children learning about the industry. Performers across the fairgrounds take to the stage to show various talents and Placerville Speedway is converted into a racing surface for a number of different events. The El Dorado County Fair provides an enormous return on investment for the local economy by bringing people together and promoting production, education, and heritage for our region. The annual County Fair has become a treasured event locally and considerable preparations are made to ensure the fair is safe and successful. Tickets to the El Dorado County Fair are available online or at the fairgrounds entry-gates.

El Dorado County Budget
-
The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors has approved the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Recommended Budget of $1.03 billion for the upcoming year. The budget represents a 7% decrease in spending from the previous year, with roughly 40% of the funding coming from the El Dorado County General Fund. The decrease in spending represents a balanced approach to funding government as revenues generated have also decreased. Unfunded and underfunded State-level required costs have increased, however, which has made the budget process more difficult and required special consideration of programs and services funded by El Dorado County. The General Fund Contingency is set at $7.85 million to alleviate any unforeseen fiscal issues, and General Reserves of $13 million in case of emergencies. One notable achievement is a $7 million allocation set aside for road maintenance and snow removal. The El Dorado County Chief Administrative Office (CAO) works with the Board of Supervisors and County agencies to draft a budget for each Fiscal Year. Since the County's Fiscal Year runs from July 1st until June 30th, the CAO presents a Recommended Budget in the spring and an Adopted Budget in the fall for approval by the Board of Supervisors. The reason for the extended budget process is to provide balance in funding, public concerns and governmental transparency, which increases accountability within El Dorado County Government.

Title 25: Ordinance #5199
-
-
|
The Board of Supervisors has approved Ordinance #5199 to allow for qualifying Caldor Fire survivors in Grizzly Flats to build owner-built dwellings that are consistent with Limited Density Owner-Built Rural Dwellings (Title 25) of the California Code of Regulations, Housing and Community Development. The Planning and Building Department has developed a program to help qualifying residents overcome some prohibitive rebuilding costs. Working in collaboration with Pioneer Fire Protection District, the Title 25 program waives certain building fees and requirements for qualifying structures. Most notable is the waiving of solar and fire sprinkler State-level requirements for homes up to 750 square feet. Additionally, residents will be allowed to fall timber and mill lumber themselves, provided they meet all State-level standards and regulations. The unique nature of Title 25 has specific deed restrictions but avoids requirements for certain calculations, minimum requirements and electrical. A big opportunity for Title 25 structures is partial occupancy using generators during the construction phase. The purpose of the Title 25 program is to provide an opportunity for qualifying Caldor Fire survivors in Grizzly Flats to begin building and living in new homes immediately. The District 2 office applauds the Planning and Building Department, including Director Karen Garner, for their efforts regarding the Title 25 program. To find out more about qualifying for the Title 25 program, please contact the District 2 office.
