WATCH (00:35) - 🧨No Fireworks Permitted in Placer County🧨

BG_Fireworks

Dear Friends and Neighbors:

Memorial Day is this weekend and Independence Day is right around the corner. If you live in the unincorporated part of Placer County please remember that NO fireworks are permitted in that area, even "safe and sane."

Also, if you plan to visit Lake Tahoe this weekend for the holiday, please remember that all Tahoe communities in Placer County are in the unincorporated area.

We, as residents, need to do everything we can to reduce the risk for wildfire. This includes refraining from using fireworks in high fire-danger areas like Tahoe and where the urban areas meet wild land areas.

I encourage you to also watch my conversation with Placer County Chief Estes to get educated about what to do to prepare your home and family in case a wildfire breaks out near our community:

In summary, get educated at ReadyPlacer.org and be alerted by signing up at Placer-Alert.org. All of us taking these proactive steps will be key in helping our first responders in times of emergency.

You can pick up your "No Fireworks Permitted" sign at the Board of Supervisors West Roseville office! Email my Chief of Staff, Landon Wolf, to let us know when you're able to stop by or we can drop one off at your home. LWolf@Placer.CA.Gov.

Have a joyous June and I look forward to seeing you very soon!

Sincerely,
Bonnie

Statement on RHNA Rezone Program Vote - May 21, 2024

This week, our Board voted to rezone thirteen parcels in Placer County to address the shortfall in available land for affordable housing in our county, according to the mandates from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). This has been one of the most difficult issues we have handled while I have served on the Board of Supervisors and do not take the outcome lightly.

I appreciate the number of residents in Dry Creek who got involved and contacted me with their input. I pledged to work with my colleagues to remove the Residential-Agricultural parcels in Dry Creek from the list of considerations and we were able to accomplish that. We are grateful to the owners of Properties 1 and 2 who offered their parcels, zoned Office-Professional, for rezone.

This vote is likely only the beginning of the challenges facing our county and other California communities as draconian mandates and enforcement continue from the state government. We have learned so much from this process and are already preparing for the next RHNA cycle which commences in 2029. I encourage you to stay involved in our local and state government processes. Your input is valuable and appreciated.

Public Safety Spotlight

PCSO Opioid Response Team Featured on NBC Nightly News

PCSO on NBC

From PCSO: Sheriff Woo, with the support of the Placer County Board of Supervisors and the CEO’s office, launched an initiative to combat opioid related overdoses as well as providing specialized detectives focused on opioid related crimes. He formed one of the first teams with this focus in the state. Detective Craven is the lead detective of the Opioid Response team. We’re proud that his expertise and our efforts are setting a precedent for the rest of the country, as shown on NBC Nightly News.

The Opioid Response Team will respond to all fentanyl-related deaths within the Placer County Sheriff’s Office jurisdiction. The team will investigate where that person got the fentanyl. That evidence is crucial in the prosecution of drug dealers. We’ll also provide support for allied agencies upon request. In addition, the team will take proactive action by connecting with youth, at-risk individuals and those who suffer from addiction.
