BOS Study Session on the General Plan Re-Scheduled for February 14

The Board of Supervisors Study Session on the Preferred Land Use Element of the General Plan has been re-scheduled to February 14…mark your calendars now.

Don’t forget that the board will be considering a request by the Amador Toulumne Community Action Agency (ATCAA) Housing Director, Beetle Barbour to create affordable housing in our community on January 24th.   Ms. Barbour says “This is the first time we’ve gone before a governing Board asking them to help us create affordable housing. This is an exciting moment because our 10 year Plan to End Homelessness speaks to this very thing! Although these apartments already exist, they rent for market rate and the entire apartment complex is currently in foreclosure. If we don’t step in with a good project, they are likely to become so dilapidated that they will be closed.  We are also asking the Supervisors to support the inclusion of 5 apartments for Calaveras County Behavioral Health as permanent supportive housing.  We see this as an important benchmark reflecting our Mission Statement for the CSCoC. Even if you aren’t from Calaveras County, your attendance at the meeting in the BOS Chambers (at the Calaveras County Government Center on Mountain Ranch Road) is really important.”

Please plan to attend. Again, it’s 1 pm at the Calaveras County BOS on Tuesday 1/24/12.
