Save Our County – Joint Coalition
Protecting, Restoring, And Sustaining El Dorado County, California
The document below shows the effects of Judge Stracener’s court ruling on how Measure E has amended the El Dorado County General Plan. The document was prepared by the petitioner in the case, EDCARP, and aligns with the Press Release published by El Dorado County.
Save Our County is consulting with its legal counsel to determine whether or not to pursue an appeal of the ruling.
A pdf of the document is available by clicking here.
Supervisors Novasel, Ranalli, and Veerkamp received the following letters on March 8, 2017. As of this date, former Supervisor Mikulaco has not picked up his letter at the Post Office.
Here are excerpts from the letters and video clips:
Whenever constitutional violations are committed by public officers, there are constitutional remedies available to the people. Such remedies make those who violate their oaths, such as you, accountable and liable for their unconstitutional actions conducted in perjury of their oaths.
Your continued refusal to allow the public the opportunity to make comment on the staff’s monthly TGPA/ZOU status update was a violation of the Ralph M. Brown Act. By your actions, as stated herein, you perjured your oath, which oath was given in exchange for the public trust. Therefore, you violated the public trust, and also violated the rights of free speech, redress of grievances to government and peaceful assembly, guaranteed in the First Amendment, all of which actions were conducted by you without constitutional or any other valid lawful authority.
Your refusal to provide a meaningful process for Citizens made it extremely clear to the audience that this meeting was a joke, a farce and a fraud, simply meant to give the appearance of a just and fair hearing, but delivering nothing of the kind.
The opponents of Measure E are spreading misleading information about Measure E’s implementation to confuse the public, once again.
Please attend the meeting on Tuesday, August 30, 2016 at 2:00 pm to support implementing Measure E as intended by voters.

In working with County Counsel, the proponents of Measure E have come to agreement with all but one issue: the way that the County analyzes traffic congestion on roadways and highways.
Measure E mandates the use of Caltrans data to analyze the level of service on US 50, however the County has proposed to ignore this mandate.
Here is a link to the County’s documents and reports:

Once again, it is anticipated that the opponents to Measure E will be there in force. They have already filed a lawsuit to thwart the will of the voters. Information about the lawsuit and how you can help defend Measure E is available here: http://wp.me/P2S1Pd-bc
The law is clear that it is now the responsibility of the County to implement Measure E as it was intended.
If you cannot attend the meeting, contact the supervisors and let them know that voters expect ALL of Measure E to be implemented as intended.
Subject: Measure E Implementation, File #14-1054, Agenda Item #32
At the August 16, 2016 Board of Supervisors meeting, the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) presented a new Prop 90 report to the Supervisors. The report clearly showed that the County will lose money by extending Prop 90. This is the same conclusion from reports by previous CAO’s.
So why did 3 of 5 Supervisors vote to extend Prop 90 for 5 more years? Those 3 Supervisors seemed more concerned about Lennar Homes selling homes to folks from L.A. and the Bay Area at a good profit margin than with protecting our County’s budget.
Should existing residents be burdened with the added cost of services needed for “affluent” seniors coming from other Counties?
Supervisor Shiva Frentzen tackles that question in an opinion piece posted today, August 23, 2016, on the Lake Tahoe News website: Opinion: EDC caters to special interests
To date, Prop 90 has caused El Dorado County to lose a total of $3,246,664 in funding to the County’s General Fund (used for services and road maintenance) and to the County’s Special Districts:
If Prop 90 was allowed to expire on September 30, 2016, and no more houses were allowed in the program, the County will still continue to lose annual funding:
El Dorado County CANNOT afford to extend Prop 90 for another 5 years and add more houses to the program.
Take action and flood the the Supervisors with emails and let them know that they should be focused on finding ways to fix our budget, not catering to special interests.
And show up on August 30, 2016 to put the Supervisors on notice that they are charged with protecting the County’s financial well-being.
