Dear Friends and Neighbors –

I am nearing completion of my first year as your County Supervisor and I wanted to share about progress we have made in 2019.

After being sworn-in, I got to work strengthening relationships with our local cities. Supervisor Kirk Uhler, County CEO Todd Leopold and I are meeting regularly with Roseville Mayor Allard, Vice Mayor Bernasconi and City Manager Dominick Casey to have frank and open conversations on subjects ranging from the impacts of new development, to homelessness and what services can be jointly provided to our residents. One small but important victory stemming from these meetings was the addition of new ADA parking spaces at the Roseville Veterans Hall. Also, I am working with Supervisor Robert Weygandt and leaders in the City of Lincoln to explore ways the County can work with them to help address their city’s ongoing issues.

Communicating with you, the residents of District 1, has been my first priority. My monthly newsletter is meant to serve as a consistent update on County issues, highlighting departments which serve you and the resources available.  If you have not already done so, I encourage you to subscribe to my monthly newsletter which is accompanied by a short video highlighting each month’s topic. You can subscribe by visiting http://Placer.CA.Gov/District1Newsletter. I am committed to ensuring our residents are aware of what is happening in our county.  In August I held a town hall meeting attended by over one hundred residents. I look forward to hosting future meetings to continue our dialogue. 

In my April 2019 newsletter, we discussed the plan for Baseline Road. I regularly hear from residents about the frustrating commute on Baseline Road. Expediting some of the improvements on Baseline is a top priority for me so we can alleviate traffic congestion along this thoroughfare.

I look forward to working with you in 2020 and wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season!

Sincerely,

Bonnie Gore
Placer County Supervisor, District 1
