Progress Update

Highlights from Q2 (April - June 2023) includes:

  • As a mechanism to improve customer satisfaction and look at process improvements, CDA successfully piloted its first preliminary consultation process for new business projects. 
  • Through the efforts of CDAs Outstanding Public Service (OPS) Team, a customer satisfaction survey for finished projects was designed that included online options, phone contact, and in-person meetings.
  • The North San Juan Fire Suppression Project secured a public utility easement for the water storage tank, pushed the environmental studies closer to completion, completed the geotechnical survey, and decided to wait until 2024 to apply for Community Development Block Grant funding.
  • Construction of the 20,000 square foot storage facility began June 1st which when complete will free up the building space adjacent to the airport.

Next Steps

Plans for Q3 (July - September 2023) include:

  • The North San Juan Fire Suppression Project will:
    • Update project costs based on the findings of the geotechnical survey. 
    • Meet with United States Department of Agriculture staff to report on project status, secure remaining easements in the project layout.
    • Finalize the environmental studies, initiate the establishment of a new County Service Area with the Local Area Formation Commission.
    • Lay the groundwork for the Proposition 218 process to establish annual funding for the project.
  • The county is finalizing the property purchase for 21.48 acres at 12270 La Barr Meadows Road as a proposed green waste processing location.
  • Economic Development staff will continue to provide assistance on community projects (e.g., Donner Summit Visitor Center, InConcert Sierra, Penn Valley Community Center).
