Board approves consent items and several county letters, consolidates education measure for primary
Loading...
Summary
The Alpine County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved its consent agenda, a resolution to consolidate an Office of Education measure with the June 2, 2026, statewide primary, a support letter for a forest resilience grant, and authorization to apply for a Sierra Nevada Conservancy recreation grant.
The Alpine County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously March 3 to approve routine consent items and several resolutions and letters on the agenda.
The board approved the consent agenda (items 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 as revised, 5.5 and 5.7) by roll call. It then approved a resolution to consolidate a measure that would change the County Superintendent from an elected to an appointed position with the statewide direct primary on June 2, 2026; county staff clarified that, because the superintendentposition is currently vacant, a candidate filing could still produce an election outcome if voters reject the measure. The resolution will put the question before voters as requested by the County Board of Education.
The board also approved a letter of support for the Macolany/Amador/Calaveras Forest Resilience Project, with board members asking staff to add congressional and legislative cc's and to correct a spelling convention for "El Dorado National Forest." Clerk staff confirmed an online portal and mail submission would be used before the day's deadline.
Separately, the board authorized submittal of a Sierra Nevada Conservancy grant application (SNC #1917-RT) to fund construction of the Terrapin Pines disc golf course and Charity Valley Trailhead improvements; members amended the delegation language to ensure agreements above county procurement thresholds would return to the board for signature. Each motion passed by unanimous roll call.
Next steps: staff will transmit the support letter before the stated deadline and proceed with the SNC grant application as amended. The consolidated education-measure resolution will be placed on the June 2, 2026 ballot if the clerk proceeds with the consolidation process.
