| 1 | | Agenda Item | On January 28, 2025, El Dorado County Board of Supervisors adopted Section 10.12.145 of Chapter 10.12 of Title 10 of the El Dorado County Ordinance Code entitled County parking lots-restricted parking. The Ordinance regulates parking of vehicles in County-owned or operated lots as designated by a Board of Supervisors Resolution. The Resolution will be brought to the Board in April. The new section of Chapter 10.12 restricts parking pursuant to the Resolution with exceptions for County personnel or during occasions or events as declared by the Chief Administrative Officer. The intention of the Resolution will be to restrict overnight parking and parking on weekends when County offices are closed to the public. This change was required to establish county-wide regulations that better safeguard public health, safety and the environment. The Resolution is currently being drafted and will include a specific number of dedicated parking spaces for the Veterans Monument (currently proposed at 5 spaces) and extended hours, seven days per week. HHSA is seeking feedback from the Veterans Aff | | |
