Hoping to help local businesses and attract more visitors ready to spend some money, the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors on May 12 conceptually approved the establishment of Entertainment Zones in unincorporated areas of the county.

The discussion was prompted by a request from El Dorado Hills Town Center representatives based on Senate Bill 969. E ective Jan. 1, 2025, the law authorizes California cities and counties to create designated Entertainment Zones where individuals, 21 and older, may legally possess and consume open containers of alcoholic beverages within a speci c geographic boundary and purchased from licensed participating businesses.

“At its core, this is about economic development and community vitality,” said Nina Watkins, vice president of Marketing Operations for Town Center. “From our research and conversations with

ORHS Principal Aaron Palm earns statewide honor

Servant leadership — Leads with “yes” and empowers sta by providing the resources and structure they need to thrive.

The Association of California School Administrators has bestowed a top honor upon Oak Ridge High School Principal Aaron Palm, naming him 2026 Statewide Secondary Principal of the Year.

“Each year, only one principal in the entire state of California receives this prestigious honor, making this an incredible achievement for both Mr. Palm and the Oak Ridge community,” El Dorado Union High School District o cials shared a er the ASCA announcement. “Mr. Palm’s servant leadership, dedication to students and sta and strong campus presence continue to make a lasting impact each day.”

“This recognition is incredibly humbling,” Palm said. “There are so many outstanding educators who deserve this honor. I am just one part of a much larger team, and this award truly belongs to the students, sta and educational partners I have the privilege to work with every day.”

EDUSH noted Palm’s approach to leadership has earned great respect over the years, listing three signi cant areas of impact:

other cities and municipalities, such as San Francisco, Sacramento, Auburn and Redding, we’ve seen consistent outcomes. These zones increase foot tra c and local spending, support restaurants and small businesses, and create a reason for residents to stay local rather than traveling to neighboring regions. They also provide a safe and organized environment for community gathering.”

Town Center representatives submitted a detailed management plan outlining how events would operate in the El Dorado Hills shopping center “in a controlled and responsible way,” Watkins added.

“That includes de ned boundaries, limited hours of operation, on-site security, ID veri cation and wristband systems, restrictions on containers and clear signage and enforcement measures,” she explained. “Ultimately, this is a low-risk and high-impact opportunity. It supports local businesses, strengthens communities and provides the county with a exible tool ■ See ENTERTAINMENT ZONE, page A5

Student-centered impact — Creates a healthy, supportive school environment while maintaining rigorous academic standards, improving both student wellbeing & outcomes.

Visible & engaged leadership — Present on campus and in the community by greeting students each morning, celebrating successes, and showing up for every part of school life.

Accolades poured in a er the EDUHSD made the announcement.

“Congratulations, Aaron,” wrote Georgianne Knight, a retired trustee of the El Dorado County O ce of Education board. “We’re so proud of you and who you are and what you do for our community! A statewide honor like this is acknowledging your leadership here, regionally and statewide.”

“Congratulations, Principal Palm,” added El Dorado County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ed

Program coming to double check checkout accuracy

Consumers and businesses will get an extra level of protection in El Dorado County as the Board of Supervisors has unanimously approved the Point of Sale Ordinance, which authorizes Department of Agriculture, Weights and Measures sta to identify, inspect and register automated point-of-sale equipment, and to monitor those devices’ transactions.

“If a store advertises a price, they’re guaranteeing that’s the price they’re going to charge you as a customer,” explained Corrie Larsen, assistant agricultural commissioner. “In order to enforce that regulation, the Department of Weights and Measures can do price veri cation inspections. We go into stores and we check the error rate on the point of sale devices. If we are able to recover regulatory costs, we can do regular inspections.

“The state did have a program for this, the Division of Measurement Standards did do price veri cation regulation, but over the years through budget cuts, that program has gone away,” she continued. “As of right now, the only enforcement comes at the county level.”

Neighbors visit their Firewise Stars

Janet McGovern

Sterlingshire Firewise chairman

El Dorado Hills residents got an opportunity to see what fellow neighbors are doing to make their homes and yards safer from wild re during a Firewise Map of the Stars event Saturday, May 2.

For the second year in a row, the adjacent Sterlingshire and Highland View homeowners associations teamed up to highlight National Wild re Preparedness Day. The two HOAs became participants in the Firewise USA program in February 2025 and united that rst year in sponsoring an educational fair.

This year’s event was designed to take the message right into the neighborhoods, allowing residents to see what others are doing to make their homes and landscaping more resilient against re. Organizing a fair or other educational event annually is required for the two HOAs to remain in good standing as Firewise Communities.

Eight homes in the two neighborhoods, which are located o Silva Valley and Green Valley roads, were designated Firewise Stars for the event. The day began with residents reporting to the rst Star home to pick up a passport, tour the backyard and then get the card stamped. Then they went on to visit the other Star homes, returning later with their stamped passports to enter a drawing for prizes.

The prizes included a deluxe American Red Cross Go Bag and gi cards in varying amounts. The El Dorado Hills Fire Department and county O ce

County treasurer-tax collector candidates talk roots and goals

Sean Coppola and Corey Leikauf took the stage at Placerville Town Hall last week and answered questions during the League of Women Voters of El Dorado County candidate forum. The two are running to be the county treasurer-tax collector. Coppola currently serves in the role. The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors appointed him to the top job in December 2025 a er Karen Coleman’s retirement. Leikauf currently works in the county Auditor-Controller’s O ce.

The candidates emphasized their community ties, having grown up in El Dorado County. Both moved back a er gaining an education and some professional experience.

Top priorities

Acknowledging the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s O ce “hasn’t always been a fun place to go,” Coppola listed his top priorities as safeguarding public funds by responsibly managing the county’s $1.1 billion portfolio, modernizing and making the o ce more e cient as well as making the o ce more customer friendly.

“We’re here to serve you, and that should not be lost on the elected o cials of our county,” Coppola said. “We’re here to listen to you, and I want you to come into our o ce and leave feeling heard and feeling appreciated.”

Leikauf also stressed the importance of being a good steward of the public’s money and ensuring

an e cient o ce that is accountable and transparent.

“My expertise lies in internal controls and processes,” he explained, adding these skills are important to “making that o ce run as e ciently as possible to make sure the taxpayer dollars are being spent wisely.”

Leikauf also noted the importance of elevating the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s O ce within the community. “Being the public face and being out in the public and going to community events, I think that’s … something that has been missing from the o ce.”

Investment strategy

“I’m conservative in terms of the investment

approach,” Leikauf told the crowd of about 60 at the May 7 forum. “I strongly and rmly believe in the investment policy that the Board of Supervisors has approved. No. 1 goal is safeguarding public funds. No. 2 is … managing liquidity and No. 3 three, earning a reasonable return.”

As the county duciary, Leikaf said it’s important to have a “ nger on the pulse” of the economy and stay up to date on information coming from the federal government.

Coppola said he and his sta deal with a lot of moving parts when it comes to the investment strategy, which he has helped shape over the last three years. “It’s the bal-

Grand jury reports address jails, airports and more

News release

The El Dorado County Grand Jury has recently released several reports on the county website. All ndings and recommendations can be found in the full reports online. The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors and a ected county departments will respond to the reports over the next few months.

airports. Progress was minimal until 2024, when the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors moved the Airports Division from the Planning and Building Department to the Chief Administrative O ce.

Jail safety

Security is a top priority at El Dorado County jails and detention centers.

The grand jury acknowledges the county’s initiative to update policies and procedures related to county-owned airports. According to the report, the undertaking is commendable, yet concerns remain regarding the openness and e ectiveness of its implementation.

The El Dorado County Sheri ’s O ce and Probation Department take that responsibility seriously according to the 2025-26 El Dorado County Civil Grand Jury report of El Dorado County jails at South Lake Tahoe, Placerville and the South Lake Tahoe Juvenile Treatment Center.

The report, “El Dorado County Owned Airports – Navigating Change,” was published recently at eldoradocounty.ca.gov (search Grand Jury).

The grand jury investigated recent changes to the Airports Division a er its operations returned to the CAO as approved by the board in 2024.

The report, “El Dorado County Detention Centers,” was published recently at eldoradocounty.ca.gov (search Grand Jury) by Superior Court, which annually appoints 19 county residents as grand jurors to serve as citizen watchdogs over local government.

The grand jury investigation included site visits, interviews and review of previous state and local reports. Conditions at all facilities are acceptable, but the Grand Jury raised concerns over sta ng levels and vacancies.

According to the report, “The Sheri ’s O ce has made progress in recruitment by streamlining the application and testing process. The sta ng concern requires additional action to ensure appropriate sta ng levels at both the South Lake Tahoe and Placerville locations.”

The grand jury cited the expansion project at the Placerville Jail scheduled for completion in 2026 that will add 22,000 square feet to the facility. The expansion will add a new medical services area, female housing and other ancillary services. The report notes the expansion will not add to inmate capacity. The grand jury has concerns that this expansion ampli es the need to ll vacant positions for correctional o cers and jail sta , especially at the Placerville Jail.

Airport management

More than ve years have passed since the Civil Grand Jury issued recommendations in 2020 to county-owned

Following the transfer, CAO sta promptly initiated updates to airport operations by revising existing ordinances and policies. Standards and procedures for airport users’ ground leases were updated to re ect policy changes. As a result, the grand jury investigated several complaints with concerns ranging from ground lease terms and insurance demands to inadequate representation and public outreach.

Grand jury website

People invited to participate in civil grand jury interviews are primarily referred to the El Dorado County Civil Grand Jury website for information about the process. What happens when the website doesn’t provide su cient detail to address questions or alleviate concerns regarding what to expect during an interview? The grand jury investigated.

The report, “El Dorado County Civil Grand Jury Website,” was published recently at eldoradocounty.ca.gov (search Grand Jury) by Superior Court.

According to the report, the grand jury conducted a comprehensive review of its website to ensure content was clear and understandable to individuals unfamiliar with the civil grand jury process.

PG&E Corp. Foundation grants keep local restaurants cooking

For the sixth straight year, The PG&E Corporation Foundation (PG&E Foundation) will fund grants to support independent restaurant owners and their sta s through the California Restaurant Foundation’s Restaurants Care Resilience Fund. The grants will support a record number of restaurants in Northern and Central California this year. Resilience Fund grant applications will be accepted June 1-30 at restaurantscare.org/resilience.

The PG&E Foundation is contributing nearly $1.3 million to the program this year — more than any other year. The grants will help build more resilient hometown businesses for the long term. A total of 213 restaurants and commercial caterers in PG&E’s service area will receive $5,000 grants. That number is up from last year’s 188 grant recipients.

Since 2021, PG&E and the PG&E Foundation have contributed nearly $5.6 million to the CRF’s Restaurants Care Resilience Fund. This has provided grants to 863 local restaurants within PG&E’s service area. With this year’s contribution, the total number of restaurant grants awarded in PG&E’s service area will exceed 1,000.

In 2025, 16 area restaurants were among the grant recipients, including 66 Handles Public House in El Dorado Hills.

“Our hometown restaurants — many family-owned and operated — are true examples of hard work and perseverance. They are the places where celebratory gatherings are held and where we connect with friends and family to create memories. We are proud to be continuing partners in this program with CRF in support of local restaurants as they navigate challenges in times of economic uncertainty. Our communities are stronger when our small businesses thrive,” said Carla Peterman, president, PG&E Corporation, and executive vice president Customer & Corporate A airs and chair of the board of the PG&E Corporation Foundation.

Bene ting our hometowns

CRF began the Resilience Fund in 2021 to support restaurants recovering from economic impacts of the COVID19 pandemic. Since then, the fund has provided more than $11 million in grants to restaurants and caterers across

California. PG&E and The PG&E Corporation Foundation have supported the program since its inception. The company has maintained its support as restaurants continue weathering economic challenges.

“For six years, the Resilience Fund has helped California’s independent restaurants navigate immediate challenges while also investing in stronger operations to build more sustainable businesses,” said Alycia Harsh eld, president of the California Restaurant Foundation. “With PG&E’s continued partnership, we’re able to expand that impact even further, ensuring more California restaurants have the resources they need to adapt, grow and continue serving as essential pillars of their communities.”

The PG&E Foundation’s funding for this charitable donation comes from PG&E shareholders, not PG&E customers.

Grant eligibility

California-based restaurant owners and commercial caterers in PG&E’s service area can apply.

Applicants can have up to ve locations (although only one location can apply). Annual revenue cannot exceed $3 million for the location. The restaurant must be in operation for one full year to qualify, and previous grant recipients are eligible to apply for a different location or concept. Existing food businesses that are expanding into a brick-and-mortar location are also eligible to apply.

to thoughtfully activate its commercial areas without requiring new infrastructure or longterm commitments.”

El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Debbie Manning noted many bene ts to establishing Entertainment Zones, including, “providing exibility for special events, outdoor dining, live music, seasonal activities and community celebrations.”

She maintained the zones would strengthen partnerships between businesses, property owners, local government, public safety and community organizations and help El Dorado County become more business friendly.

“Our goal is to work together with the county business owners, property owners, and community stakeholders to ensure Entertainment Zones are implemented responsibly, safely and in a way that re ects the needs of each community,” Manning added.

Once regulations are established and approved by the Board of Supervisors, each Entertainment Zone proposal would go through a review process, according to Rob Peters, deputy director of Planning. The proposals must address:

• Geographic boundaries

• Days and hours of operation

• Allowable open alcoholic beverage containers

• Alcohol type

• Signage

• Reporting requirements

some of those as examples of how we might put together our ordinance.

“Sta has been coordinating closely with the sheri ’s o ce … to understand their position on the matter and to identify any areas of concern,” he added. “I won’t speak directly for them, but they are generally in support of the concept, but want to … coordinate closely on each individual one to make sure all the aspects of the Entertainment Zone have been met for safety and law enforcement consideration.”

Though EDH Town Center provided the catalyst for discussion, groups in other areas of the county are also looking into the option, Peters said.

District 4 Supervisor Lori Parlin enthusiastically supported the Entertainment Zone concept, noting Alcohol Beverage Control regulations are extremely challenging for people organizing public events and fundraisers.

“They’re trying to get all the food permits done for the vendors … and then these excessive regulations have made it just crazy,” Parlin said. “If you own — a restaurant where the event is, people can’t take their beverages out and walk around to see the vendors. Then that means the restaurant has to police people and say, ‘You can’t take that out,’ and it’s caused some really icky situations. This is really a nice thing for … these kinds of events. I think Town Center is a perfect place, of course, for it. That’s a no brainer.”

Parlin also advocated for Entertainment Zone status in Georgetown.

up,” Parlin said. “Can we have this done by this year — September for Founder’s Day? Is that even doable?”

Peters couldn’t promise a rollout before September but didn’t say it couldn’t be done.

“I think it’s a good idea countywide,” District 1 Supervisor Greg Ferrero said. “I think Town Center is an excellent place to start. They do dozens of events a year … and they actually sell alcohol, but they have to bring in trucks from outside the area o entimes to sell it. They do a very good job managing that with roped o areas where you can have alcohol. They have security on site.

“This would be an expansion to that and allow the businesses that are paying rent and trying to thrive to sell more alcohol that people are going to buy anyway,” he continued.

“The only thing I regret about this particular legislation is the fact that it mandates … non-metal containers,”

District 5 Supervisor Brooke Laine said.

“They make beer and wine in aluminum, and they’re highly recyclable. It’s so much better than a plastic red cup.”

Fees will be associated with the creation of each Entertainment Zone, which did prompt some concern from the public. Addressing the comments, Chief Administrative O cer Sue Phillips said, “Just as with any other service that we provide, we can only recover the cost of providing that service. So this will not be viewed as a revenue source for the county. The fees will be minimal to cover the cost only.”
