El Dorado redistricting may significantly impact Tahoe

The Lake Tahoe portion of El Dorado County may not have a supervisor devoted just for that area.

Every 10 years all counties look at boundaries based on current Census results.

The U.S. Census Bureau estimates El Dorado County’s population at 181,058, an increase of approximately 25,000 residents since the 2000 Census.

The county Surveyor’s Office has produced five options for future supervisorial district boundaries. Each version contains supervisorial districts with approximately 36,212 residents. The map alternatives will be formally presented to the Board of Supervisors April 26 at 10am at the county government center in Placerville. The board is expected to adopt a final map in July.

All of the redistricting map alternatives are available online. The website also includes reference maps, a feedback form, contact information, relevant agenda items, and will serve as a platform for future redistricting related announcements.

The redistricting team with Supervisor Ray Nutting will have a community meeting April 28 at the Pollock Pines Community Center, 2675 Sanders Drive from 7-9pm. Another workshop is May 5 at the El Dorado Hills Community Services District Pavilion, 1021 Harvard Way from 6-8pm. Details of additional workshops are pending, though it’s not known if one will be in Tahoe.
