The El Dorado County Agricultural Commissioner is advising residents to take precautions after the invasive glassy-winged sharpshooter was found on grapevines delivered to Costco stores throughout California. Residents who purchased grapevines or other plants at Costco between April 21 and May 26, 2026, should:

• For ALL plants: Contact the El Dorado County Agriculture Department at (530) 621-5520 or email eldcag@edcgov.us immediately to schedule pick up of grapevines and/or inspection of other plants and receive guidance on how to prevent further spread and infestation of the glassy-winged sharpshooter.
• For grapevines: place two garbage bags over plants and secure them tightly.
• For other plants: use the contact information above to schedule Agriculture Department inspection.
• Do not attempt to return, transport or relocate plants.
• Do not place plants in the trash or compost bin.

Design Standards provide architectural identity for communities and give residents and visitors a sense of place. El Dorado County is completing the Design Standards for the Community Regions along the Highway 50 corridor, so now it's time to engage residents and business owners in our Rural Centers in the process, starting with the Georgetown Divide. Please note that Design Standards are only applied to new or renovating commercial and multi-family buildings, not single-family homes.

A kickoff meeting is being held on Wednesday, June 17, 2026 at 6:00pm at the Georgetown VFW Post on Main Street. Residents and business owners from all communities on the Divide are welcome and encouraged to attend the kickoff.

Want to know more about why the County is developing Community Design Standards, please visit this FAQ webpage: www.eldoradocounty.ca.gov/Land-Use/Planning-and-Building/Long-Range-Planning-Division/Active-Projects/Commercial-and-Multi-Family-Design-Standards/Community-Design-Standards-FAQ
