Board backs annual CPI‑U adjustments to fire impact fees; some residents urge CPI‑E review
Summary
Directors approved a resolution recommending annual CPI‑U adjustments to the district’s fire impact fees and will ask the county supervisors to implement the change; at public hearing a resident suggested using the CPI‑E index to better reflect impacts on older homeowners.
The board opened a public hearing and voted to approve Resolution 2026‑03 recommending that the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors adopt annual CPI‑U (Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers) adjustments to the district’s adopted fire impact fees. Staff said the adjustment restores missed annual increases and will be brought to the county in a letter and resolution.
A resident during public comment suggested the board consider CPI‑E (which the commenter said better reflects pricing pressures for older populations) because Cameron Park’s demographic includes a significant share of residents over 65. Staff replied that CPI‑U was recommended by county staff and is the index most agencies in the county use, but that additional research may be warranted.
Directors closed the public hearing and approved the resolution by roll call. Staff said a new Nexus study is planned and that future study results could change fee levels.
