A Message from Supervisor Suzanne Jones

My goal throughout all my years of service to you has always been to maintain a close relationship with you and to serve your interests.  I have been serving Granite Bay and Roseville in once capacity or another since 2010, whether on the Granite Bay MAC, the three terms you elected me to on the County Board of Education, in my current role as your County Supervisor and on the several other Committees and Commissions is serve on such as the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency, and the Placer Air Pollution Control Board to name a few.  You know me by now and you know you can count on me to represent you fairly, honestly and transparently.

Teams of your fellow residents are working on the important quality of life issues in our community - Parks Open Spaces & Natural Resources, Traffic, Trails, and Community Plan Review.  Studying these areas, they are making recommendations for improvements.  When I established these sub committees of the Granite Bay Municipal Advisory Council, my goal was to enhance, preserve and protect our community - goals we are working toward every day.  We welcome your input.  I strongly recommend you attend our monthly Granite Bay MAC meetings to offer comments and hear our progress.

I always welcome your comments and questions, and I welcome the opportunity to address your Neighborhood Association or Community Organization.  Call my office at 916-787-8960 or drop a note to my District Director Michael Spelis: Michaelspelis@placer.ca.gov or to me at Suzannejones@placer.ca.gov.
