A packed house of well-wishers honored District 2 Supervisor Robert Weygandt and Treasurer-Tax Collector Jenine Windeshausen, who were recognized with resolutions by the Board of Supervisors during the board’s last meeting of 2022. Weygandt, who served 28 years in office, is credited with having helped establish the Placer Legacy Program and the Placer County Conservation Program. He is also credited with working to develop the Sunset Area Plan in West Placer for job creation. Watch the following tribute video to learn more or watch the board presentation of his resolution. In honor of Weygant, the Doty Ravine Preserve, located northeast of Lincoln, has been renamed the Weygandt Doty Ravine Preserve.

Windeshausen is equally accomplished and is credited with having positioned the county for enduring financial success due to her sound counsel. She has gained a statewide reputation for her expertise in implementing creative public financing and was instrumental in founding Pioneer Community Energy. Her amazing contributions are listed in detail in a resolution by the Board of Supervisors.
