El Dorado County has pulled the plug on this week’s Affordable Housing Task Force meeting, which had been scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 21. The pause comes as county staff continue working on recommendations that are expected to feed into a draft affordable-housing ordinance for the Board of Supervisors.
County Cancellation Goes Out Through Email Alerts
County officials pushed out the cancellation notice through the county’s GovDelivery email subscription system and said the details were also posted on the county website, according to El Dorado County. Residents can sign up for meeting notices and agendas through that subscription portal to keep tabs on future Task Force meetings and related workshops.
Task Force Role Tied Directly To Board Ordinance Work
The Affordable Housing Task Force was set up to advise county staff on ordinance language, fees and incentives, and the Board directed staff to hold a workshop to consider topics identified by the Task Force, according to the Board of Supervisors. Those materials show the county is working to translate Task Force recommendations into draft code and policy that would come back for future public hearings.
Timeline, First Meeting And Outreach Plans
The county’s strategic plan notes that the Task Force held its first meeting in Fall 2024 and lists development of an affordable-housing ordinance as a priority for Planning and Building and Health and Human Services, with outreach funding flagged to support public input, according to El Dorado County. The plan’s timeline indicates that Task Force findings are expected to shape ordinance language, fee studies and possible incentive programs before the Board takes any formal adoption steps.
How To Track The Next Meeting And Reach Staff
The county has not yet posted a new date for the Affordable Housing Task Force. For now, posted agendas and subscriber notices remain the best way to watch for a rescheduled meeting and new materials. The contact address [email protected] appears in county subscriber newsletters and other communications, according to an El Dorado County newsletter, and staff are encouraging residents to rely on the subscription service for the latest updates.
