Board postpones Links Trail zone ballot measure to November 2026
Summary
The board voted to rescind an earlier resolution and postpone a proposed special-tax election for the Links Trail zone of benefit until the November 2026 general election, at the request of residents and the advisory committee.
The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to rescind an earlier action and delay a special-tax ballot measure for the Links Trail zone of benefit until the November 2026 general election, after residents and the zone advisory committee asked for postponement.
Elizabeth Hess of the Department of Transportation said the Links Trail zone advisory committee and residents “were all in favor of postponing their ballot measure until the November 2026 general election,” and recommended the board rescind Resolution 76 20 25 so the measure can be placed on that later ballot.
Why it matters: The measure would have asked voters in the Links Trail zone whether to approve a special tax to fund road improvements and maintenance in that specific zone of benefit. Postponing the measure allows residents and the advisory committee more time to organize and to appear on a higher-turnout general election ballot.
Board action and public comment The board opened a public hearing. No in-room or online public comment was received during the hearing. After staff presentation and no further questions from the board, the board moved and approved the resolution to postpone the election by voice vote; the clerk recorded the outcome as “Motion passes five-zero.”
What staff said Hess said the postponement would not change the ballot language itself; the action would only rescind the previously adopted Resolution 76 20 25 and set the measure for the November 2026 uniform-district election. She described the action as procedural: “If you were to approve this action, it would rescind Resolution 76 20 25, and thus just postpone the measure. Nothing else changes. The ballot measure will stay the same.”
Next steps The board’s action rescinded the earlier resolution and set the measure for the November 2026 ballot, per the advisory committee’s request. Departments will follow the county’s election schedule and report back with required election materials and timelines for placing the measure on the November 2026 ballot.
