County Adds Analysis of Last 12 Budgets to Website

[Carla B. Hass]

(PLACERVILLE, CA) – El Dorado County updated its website today to include a 12-year analysis of the County's budget from fiscal year 2008-09 to 2019-20 in an effort to become more transparent to residents about a complex issue.

"Three years ago the County intentionally focused on its Strategic Plan, both from a content and action standpoint, and the Board of Supervisors prioritized investing in the County's failing infrastructure," said Chief Administrative Officer, Don Ashton. "Today's update to the website is in full keeping with our Good Governance goal of transparency while also providing residents the ability to learn how El Dorado County recovered from the Great Recession and where their money has been spent since."

The analysis shows all governmental funding from the last 12 years, with the 2019-20 figures taken from the Recommended Budget approved by the Board of Supervisors earlier this year.

The report shows the total increase in the budget, governmental and general fund financing requirements, the percentage of financing uses by department and function, amount and percentage of financing sources by governmental function, and the increase in County population versus the decrease in County employees.

It also shows a comparison of the County's most recent adopted budget to those of Sacramento, Placer and Shasta Counties.

"This analysis is a year-by-year snapshot and complement to the Recommended and Adopted budgets the Board of Supervisors has painstakingly considered over more than a decade," said Ashton. "It tells the story of how we got to where we are today from a budgetary standpoint and hopefully sheds light on what is, by all accounts, a complicated and long process the public entrusts its elected officials to approve each year."

The CAO's office intends to provide to the public a quarterly analysis and information about property and sales tax revenue in the future.

The analysis can be found here.

OPINION - Free people don’t ask the government for permission

$
0
0

[STEVEN GREENHUT]

SACRAMENTO – We’ve just celebrated another Veteran’s Day, where we’ve heard all the usual “freedom isn’t free” speeches extolling the role of the United States military in protecting our liberties. I’ve got nothing against the military and respect those who served in it, but wish that Americans would spend less time waving the flag and trading in bromides — and more time thinking seriously about the precarious state of our own freedoms.

“Liberty,” Thomas Jefferson wrote, “is unobstructed action according to our will; but rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will, within the limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’; because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.” That’s as good a definition of liberty as one will ever find.

Americans are supposed to be free to live as we choose — unobstructed by government and limited solely by others’ right to exercise their free will. Jefferson’s words can be summarized by that old cliché: Your right to swing your fist ends at the beginning of my nose. Obviously, our nation’s founding was fraught with hypocrisy, given that a large portion of the population wasn’t free at all, but that doesn’t mean that the country’s ideals aren’t worth pondering today.

The second part of that Jefferson quotation is as important as the first part. Just because the government has passed laws, through its established process of legislating and regulating, doesn’t mean that such rules are worthy of blind obedience. Many are legitimate, but others merely are the “tyrant’s will” — an effort by one group to impose its preferences on other people. We’ve got plenty of laws against murder and mayhem, so most lawmaking now is devoted to these other meddlesome things, which is what Jefferson warned against.

Our country has strayed so far from those concepts that we’ve morphed into society where we constantly need permission from the government to proceed. Whereas government previously needed a compelling reason to restrict our actions, it now demands a host of permits, fees, pre-approvals and justifications. This “Mother, may I?” situation has turned the notion of a free society on its head.

“Whether it be building a house, getting a job, owning a gun, expressing one’s political beliefs, or even taking a life-saving medicine, laws and regulations at the federal, state and local levels now impose permit requirements that forbid us to act unless we first get permission from the government,” wrote Timothy Sandefur in his new book, “The Permission Society.” He blames the progressive movement, which is accurate, but conservatives also do the same thing when it comes to drug laws, tariffs and security measures.

One of the best permission-society examples involves occupational licensing. If you want to earn a living in any number of fields, you’re required to spend thousands of dollars in government-dictated training — much of it irrelevant to the job you want to perform — and then get a permit. These rules apply not only to highly skilled professions such as surgery, but to fields such as hairdressing and tree trimming. Keep in mind that a competitive market — not government rule-making — does the best job of assuring that people have necessary skills.

Instead of making it easier for people to work, our state government is ramping up its undercover stings so that it can arrest people for committing these victimless crimes. Not only must we ask permission first — but we risk fines and arrest if we don’t. That’s true even though most licensing rules are not about protecting the public’s safety, but about established industries using their political clout to pass laws that limit the competition.

The most pernicious recent permission-society law is Assembly Bill 5, which forbids companies (those that failed to successfully lobby for an exemption) from hiring contractors to perform many jobs. Government decides in advance whether we can enter into work relationships of our own choosing.

There’s no easy button to clear the decks of Nanny State rules. But Sandefur suggests that all new laws should start with a presumption of freedom, with the burden of proof resting on those who propose them. He compares it to criminal courts, where we are presumed innocent until proven otherwise. Until we reorder our thinking, I’m afraid our liberties will continue to fritter away — and freedom will become just something that we prattle about during holiday parades.

Veterans In California Will Be Able To Adopt Animals For Free Starting In 2020

$

0

(By Julie Ledoux - Connecting Vets)

California veterans won’t have to pay adoption fees when they take a “furever” friend home from an animal shelter next year.

Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed Senate Bill 245, which calls on animal shelters throughout the state to waive pet adoption fees for military veterans.

“This is a big win for veterans and shelter animals,” said State Sen. Liang Liang Chang, who authored the legislation

According to Chang’s office, California is home to 2 million military veterans, including many who cope with PTS. She said a companion animal could help with their recovery efforts.

 

 

“As the saying goes, a dog is a ‘man’s best friend.’ When I’m home my four-legged companions are a part of my family,” she said. “Buster and Pepper bring me joy and laughter and I benefit from the positive effects of their companionship. Our brave heroes deserve the same happiness, and I’m glad we can reduce the barriers for bringing together veterans seeking companion animals and pets in need of a home.”

Shelters will confirm veteran status by using the state’s existing veteran’s driver’s license designation. The law goes into effect Jan. 1, 2020.

[Rocklin & Roseville Today]

EL DORADO HILLS – The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors has recognized local resident Moseley Collins for his longtime efforts to fight hunger both locally and globally.

Mr. Collins, an attorney and founder of the Moseley Collins Law Firm, is the largest support of annual efforts to pack hundreds of thousands of meals for malnourished children in partnership with Feed My Starving Children.

Mr. Collins has paid for 450,000 meals packed at Feed My Starving Children MobilePacks in Rocklin and El Dorado Hills – the largest sponsor of meals packed during MobilePacks.

Thousands of local residents come together at MobilePacks to assemble hundreds of thousands of meals that are shipped around the world to children in need.

“The Board of Supervisors of the County of El Dorado does hereby recognize and honor Moseley Collins for quietly doing his part in helping feed the hungry with the huge contribution to this local effort that not only feeds kids around the world but gives thousands of local volunteers a chance to be part of the effort,” the county’s proclamation states.

Mr. Collins also has been a supporter of Sacramento’s Loaves & Fishes and other charities supporting people in need.

El Dorado County Supervisor John Hidahl made the presentation to Mr. Collins at the board’s Nov. 5 meeting.

“Children around the world needlessly die every day due to malnutrition,” Mr. Collins said. “I am honored to be able to play a small part in the fight against hunger, partnering with volunteers locally. I appreciate the Board of Supervisors taking time to recognize our efforts.”

This year, the Feed My Starving Children MobilePack in Rocklin packed a record 707,832 meals – bringing its 10-year total to more than 5.3 million meals. For more information on the local Feed My Starving Children effort, please visit www.sacfmscmobilepack.org

Hangtown 100 Becomes Richest USAC Midget Race

$

0

[Richie Murray]

With the inaugural Hangtown 100 ready to go green next week, event officials have announced a solid contingency program for the doubleheader on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 19 and 20 at California’s Placerville Speedway.

Adding in contingency prizes and the overall purse, the USAC NOS Energy Drink National and Western States Midgets will be racing for upwards of $150,000, which confirms the Hangtown 100 to be the richest two-night midget event ever held.

The USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets/USAC Western States Midget series will have the following contingency prizes up for grabs at the Elk Grove Ford Hangtown 100:

Stanton Engines ($500 award to quick time driver running a Stanton engine)

Toyota Racing Development ($500 award to quick time driver running a Toyota engine)

Esslinger ($500 certificate good for work in their shop to quick time driver running an Esslinger)

KSE Racing Products (steering gear)

DMI (rear end)

Keizer Racing Wheels (4 wheels)

Stevie Smith (titanium kit)

Bell Helmets (CF helmet)

Factory Kahne shocks (certificate)

MPI (certificate)

CSI shocks (certificate)

Swindell (certificate)

“We want to send a big thank you to all of the companies that have come on board to support the Hangtown 100 at Placerville Speedway,” commented Elk Grove Ford president Matt Wood. “Adding in the contingency prizes, drivers and teams will be competing for upwards of $150,000 at the event. If anyone else would like to donate prizes or awards, please let us know as well. The car count is looking solid and the weather is looking perfect so we can’t wait for next week.”

These bonuses will be added to the season-long sponsors for USAC National competition in 2019, including NOS Energy Drink, the title sponsor of USAC Midget National Championship.

Fatheadz Eyewear will award the fast qualifier with $100 while Simpson Race Products, Competition Suspension, Inc., Auto Meter and Indy Race Parts are on-board throughout the entire season as heat race sponsors.

Wilwood Brakes sponsors the driver who finishes 13th in each National feature event.  Saldana Racing Products will boost the spirits of the first non-transfer each night (the driver finishing one position out of the final transfer spot during the night’s semi-feature.  In addition, Saldana will reward any National Sprint and National Midget driver who performs a “sweep” of all the racing events for the night. The driver must record the fastest qualifying time during time trials, win his or her heat race, then conclude the night with a feature victory.

KSE Racing Products will run through the pack to honor each event’s hard charger (the driver who advances the most positions from their original starting spot during the night’s main event).  Hoosier Tire serves as the official tire of USAC while VP Racing Fuels is the official fuel and Racing Electronics is the official communications provider.  iRacing is the official motorsport simulation of USAC and Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts is the official trailer of USAC.

As a heads up for race fans, in order to accommodate walk up sales at the Hangtown 100, online ticketing for the event ended on Friday, November 15 at midnight.  After that, tickets will be available only at the gate on race day.

Following the action on opening night there will be a post-race party in the concession area with burritos, drinks, music and a lot of fun to be had. All fans and racers are encouraged to attend.

The Elk Grove Ford Hangtown 100 marks the first ever appearance by the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget Series to the Placerville Speedway. Co-sanctioning each night with the National Midgets will be the California based USAC Western States Midget Series.

Offspring of Drought Survivors - Future Tahoe Forest?

$
0
0

[Kat Kerlin / UC Davis, Sugar Pine seedlings were at a lathe house at the UC Davis Tahoe City Field Station before being planted in the forest.]

Sugar Pine seedlings were at a lathe house at the UC Davis Tahoe City Field Station before being planted in the forest.

California’s drought and bark-beetle infestation killed more than 129 million trees between 2012 and 2016 in the Sierra Nevada. But amid the devastation stood some survivors.

At the time, University of California, Davis biologist Patricia Maloney and a team of researchers entered the forest to collect seeds from 100 surviving sugar pine trees. Alongside other parched sugar pines etched with the tell-tale tunnel marks of bark beetles, were green, healthy trees. The researchers spent the past two years raising 10,000 seedlings from 100 surviving mother trees around the Lake Tahoe Basin. They were first cultivated at the USDA Forest Service’s Placerville Nursery, and then moved to the UC Davis Tahoe City Field Station.

This week, between 4,000 and 5,000 of the seedlings are being planted around Lake Tahoe’s North Shore as part of a restoration project funded by the Tahoe Fund and the California Tahoe Conservancy. About 1,500 will be used to study and identify important adaptive traits, and the remainder will be given to private landowners to plant.

SURVIVORS MATTER

If the seedlings turn out to be as genetically resilient as Maloney thinks and hopes they will be, these trees could represent the future forest, one better able to withstand the threats of climate change, including more droughts and bark beetle outbreaks.

“These survivors matter,” said Maloney, a scientist in the UC Davis Department of Plant Pathology and Tahoe Environmental Research Center. “Essentially, these are the offspring of drought survivors. This is hopefully the genetic stock of the future.”

Maloney is working with a crew of volunteers from the California Conservation Corps to plant the seedlings around the Tahoe Basin in micro-climates and habitats conducive to their growth and survival, just in time for the coming rain and snow season. After all, they will no longer be hand watered by attentive scientists in a nursery.

“This project not only fosters restorative growth in California’s forests, it also plants seeds of forestry awareness and experience in our Corpsmembers that can lead them to careers in forest conservation,” said Bruce Saito, director of the California Conservation Corps.

PLANTING GENETIC DIVERSITY

While the project is bringing more trees to the forest, it also aims to promote more genetic diversity within the trees.

Sugar pine trees with their giant, foot-long cones, once covered a quarter of Lake Tahoe’s forests. Comstock Era logging removed all but 5 percent of them, removing a significant share of their genetic diversity at the same time, Maloney’s lab found. Over the years, white pine blister rust and bark beetles have impacted those that remain. By restoring native sugar pines’ genetic diversity, Maloney thinks the overall forest will benefit.

It’s a small-scale start, but Maloney is excited to track each mother tree to see how it survives.

“Forest tree species have a large capacity for gene flow; they can move long distances,” Maloney said. “Our native tree species have the potential to change.”

NOVEMBER IS NATIONAL FAMILY CAREGIVERS MONTH

$
0
0

[HHS, Family Caregiver Support Program]

November is National Family Caregivers Month, a time to recognize the nearly 90 million family caregivers who provide countless hours of care and support to their loved ones. "During Family Caregivers Month we want to acknowledge the selfless acts of love provided by caregivers in our County and let them know about local resources and supports," said Jennifer Cullen, supervisor of the El Dorado County Family Caregiver Support Program.

According to Cullen, caregivers of older adults often neglect to take time to care for themselves, which can lead to negative consequences. "Long-term caregiving can feel like running an endless marathon, with high physical, emotional and financial costs. In fact, studies show that caregivers experience more depression and stress than non-caregivers," said Cullen.

The Family Caregiver Support Program offers free services and supports to family caregivers of older adults in El Dorado County. Services include informational resources, educational workshops and training series, family caregiver support groups, family assessments and respite care. Respite care is provided to eligible caregivers on an intermittent, occasional, or emergency basis for a brief period from caregiving responsibilities.

Free educational classes offered through the Family Caregiver Support Program are provided countywide and focus on topics such as:

  • - Caring for the Caregiver
  • - Rights and Responsibilities of Caregiving
  • - Understanding Dementia 
  • - Effective Communication Strategies for People with Dementia, and more

"Our approach of providing multiple types of support and training allows activities to be tailored to the unique needs of each family," said Cullen. "A caregiver's life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning how to dance in the rain. Our staff can help guide caregivers in understanding the steps to this dance."

For more information about the Family Caregiver Support Program, please call (530) 621-6151. The Family Caregiver Support Program is a service of the El Dorado County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA). HHSA offers additional supportive services for family caregivers, including The Club - Adult Day Services. For more information about these and other HHSA programs, and a list of local caregiver support groups, please visit www.edcgov.us/hhsa.

HOT Team Wins the 2019 CSAC Challenge Award

$

0

[Placerville Police Department]

The EDSO HOT team received the 2019 California State Association of Counties Challenge award.

They were recognized for their outstanding work with the homeless population within our county.

Congratulations EDSO HOT team, well deserved! 


[CSAC]

2019 CSAC Challenge Awards 
El Dorado County Sheriff's Office Homeless Outreach Global Approach Initiative 

Overview

Developed a mobile field force that provides a variety of in-field services to the county's homeless population through a mobile outreach trailer.

Challenge

- Increasing homeless population

- Perform needs assessment of the county's homeless population

- Rural county, resources spread out

-Limited resources within the county (including housing and otherwise)

- Identifying the various stakeholders, both public and private, that can provide services within the county

-Developing a system in which all stakeholders commit resources to cultivate a mobile field force capable of delivering all of the county's dedicated resources into the impacted areas where our homeless reside 

Solution

Recognizing the need for a team of individuals dedicated to working directly with the homeless population, where they reside. These efforts focus on determining individualized service offerings and lasting solutions to end the cycle of homelessness. 

In collaboration with El Dorado County agencies and private institutions a mobile field force was implemented allowing us to provide in-field services to the homeless population via Homeless Outreach Team's (HOT) mobile outreach trailer. 

Innovation

We have identified m opportunity within our county's homeless population to interact on an individual level while overcoming the law enforcement barrier between homeless and law enforcement officers. 

Prior to implementation of the HOT, we spent several months researching other California county's outreach models. The information gathered from this research was evaluated and the applicable successes were considered when developing our own outreach program. With all of this considered, we took a very candid look at om own county's homeless population and recognized a unique opportunity to act as a mediator/advocate in connecting those in need with appropriate services. In conjunction with proactive outreach, we utilize enforcement efforts when necessary to gain compliance.

The most significant challenge we faced was that our limited resources, being a three person unit, did not always allow us the ability to facilitate the increasing need for transportation to and from various services and/or programs. We also found that this obligation of time was detrimental to om commitment of maintaining personal contact in the field.

It was determined that a more global approach should be developed in order for us to connect our homeless population with the multitude of services necessary to end the cycle of homelessness.  HOT decided that the most appropriate solution would be to develop a system that delivered all of the involved service providers directly to our homeless population; effectively alleviating the need for the homeless to come to them. Those services that we determined critical include, but are not limited to, Behavioral Health — Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services, local hospital (Marshall Medical), Public Health, County Parks and Trails, Mental Health Services, local hospital (Marshall Medical), Public Health, County Parks and Trails, Community Health and other private entities and community volunteer groups. 

HOT made the decision to build a mobile outreach trailer that would provide all of the modern conveniences of an office environment, thus allowing the various service providers to work remotely in the field.  Examples of such services would be; substance abuse assessments, mental health assessments, benefits enrollment and various medical services. In addition to county resources offered, the trailer also allows the opportunity for private or non-profit groups to participate in providing support to the homeless via clothing, food and other donations. 

Results 

Overall, we have seen a 73% reduction in the population of homeless who worked with or are known to HOT. Based on these percentages and our commitment to personal contact in the field, CAL FIRE has experienced an 80% reduction in wildland fires related to homeless/transients since HOT's inception in 2017. Additionally CAL-FIRE is recommending HOT's outreach model throughout neighboring counties due to its success. 

Other impacted services, such as ER, EMS, law enforcement and private business owners have seen a significant reduction in transient related issues. Through HOT's efforts with the homeless population, the Sheriffs Office has experienced a significant reduction in transient related calls for service.

In addition to our efforts associated with transient activity, we've identified a subsequent issue that poses a significant environmental risk to the community and wildlife. As we experienced success in impacting the cycle of homelessness, the accumulation of trash, human waste, drug paraphernalia and debris became a hazard. Working as a united front, many public and private entities came together to address this issue and restore the impacted areas.

 

Replicability

- Research and identify relevant data related to transient activity to establish a baseline for future comparison and analysis

- Establish a data collection system that targets any and all outreach related activities

- Assess homeless population to determine initial priorities in impacted areas throughout the county

- Develop personal contact and presence within the homeless community

- Determine available services and stakeholders within your jurisdiction who may dedicate resources to your agency's efforts

- Collaborate with these invested parties to develop a circumstance and operations plan to prioritize and schedule services accordingly 

- Establish a data collection system that targets any and all outreach related activities

- Assess homeless population to determine initial priorities in impacted areas throughout the county

- Develop personal contact and presence within the homeless community

- Determine available services and stakeholders within your jurisdiction who may dedicate resources to your agency's efforts

- Collaborate with these invested parties to develop a circumstance and operations plan to prioritize and schedule services accordingly

0

[CAL FIRE]

Camino —The Amador-El Dorado Unit of CAL FIRE in conjunction Sierra Pacific Industries will be conducting a fuels reduction burn of approximately 15 acres of timber under-story near the Sly Park Recreation Area in El Dorado County.

The burn is scheduled for Friday, November 22, 2019 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Smoke may be visible from the area for up to 48 hours.
 
The Sly Park VMP is one of the longest running maintenance bums in the State_ For over 30 years, the Sly Park Recreation area has participated in active forest management, helping to create a timber stand that is resistant to drought and beetle kill as well as to provide a fuel break that helps to protect the community of Pollock Pines from wildfire. 

VMP programs support the CAL FIRE mission of protecting lives, property and resources from the devastation of wildfire_ Burning operations are conducted only when conditions are ideal for a safe and efficient burn. CAL FIRE is currently fully staffed, equipped and prepared to conduct safe VMP burns before the winter rains hit and staffing is reduced. 

As with all CAL FIRE controlled bums, this project will be evaluated the day of the burn utilizing a "Go - No Go" checklist that is based on weather and incident activity.

18-year-old Sentenced for 2017 Murder of Stepfather

$

[El Dorado County District Attorney]
 
On April 28, 2017, Reid Butler, then sixteen years old, had been sent home from school. As punishment for getting into trouble, his stepfather made Butler do yard work. While working in the yard, Butler left the lawnmower running and entered his parents’ bedroom through an open window and retrieved a handgun. A short time later, Butler walked up behind his stepfather and shot him in the back of the head, killing him. After the murder, he left the home in his stepfather’s truck and spent the rest of the day hanging out with friends.

The District Attorney’s Office fought to have the sixteen-year-old tried as an adult where he would face adult incarceration of 50 years to life for the murder, but, ultimately, Judge Dylan Sullivan denied the People’s request to have Butler transferred to adult court and his matter was adjudicated as a juvenile offense. The maximum sentence Butler could face in juvenile court was confinement until the age of 25 in the California Department of Corrections, Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ).

On May 31, 2019, Butler admitted committing the crime of first degree murder with the special circumstance of using a firearm. At a contested hearing for the disposition of the case, the People argued for the maximum sentence allowable in juvenile court, including commitment to DJJ, while the Public Defender argued for leniency. Ultimately, Judge Sullivan made the determination to commit Butler to DJJ until the age of 25 for the first degree murder of his stepfather and he was sentenced on November 14, 2019.

This case was prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Brittany Griffith.
