- Special Events. A Public Hearing on a draft Special Events ordinance will likely be held at the Board of Supervisors on Feb. 12, 2013. The date is tentative. Contact Darcy Goulart dgoulart@co.calaveras.ca.us at the Planning Dept. to be notified of the exact date and put on the distribution list, or call (209) 754-6394 (check the Board Meetings page the Thursday before the meeting).
- General Plan Update. Reminder--the Planning Dept. is accepting your comments on the preliminary draft Existing Settings Section of the EIR. This section contains background information on Calaveras County, and establishes baseline conditions for the rest of the GPU document. Is this information accurate, up-to-date, and complete?? Are existing conditions quantified and mapped? If not, the EIR may be weakened. This is your chance to weigh in and help planners “plug holes.” To review these initial chapters, visit the county’s General Plan Update webpage, the main county library, or contact the Planning Dept. at 754-6394.
- Pay Raise & Interviews. Controversy and conflicting accounts have emerged about the 2012 pay raise for the County’s Public Works Director. Three “Outgoing Supervisor” interviews were recorded for PATV broadcast; videos are posted online on the CAP website (last one coming Friday). Interesting commentary on the pay raise controversy and interview statements is available on our Current News page and on the Free Tri-Tip Dinner website.

Check the Planning Commission page the Friday before the meeting.
