“It looks like you only used 20% or 25% for our overhead and administration costs. I think that it should be closer to 40%. So would that affect other things? Because it's pretty expensive.”

“oh no thank you chair um just one other thing we talked about over cost and when i was at bigford to go take a tour i just happened to get there and there was a solar company that had drove up from vallejo to wait for an inspector their time frame was eight to ten it was three minutes after ten when i got there they had been calling and when i was there i heard the phone call and he just got a recording So, it's costing some of our people to kind of do business here because the inspector showed up sick, right? He didn't show up, he was sick. And there was no way that nobody got back to him,…”

“Well, credit to Blake for getting out there in time. I mean, they had 18 minutes still on the clock. But I don't think anybody was going to show up if he was sick. But the fact that they were calling and I heard that he was on. speakerphone and, you know, welcome to Placer County. And I'm like, wait, who are you trying to get ahold of? Because I've been, so that was the story. So.”

“Yeah, no, the two-hour window is fine. I mean, I've had to wait for inspections. It's no big deal. And sometimes you're not ready in that window. But this time they just, somebody showed up sick, but nobody got out to the contractors saying, hey, our guys aren't showing up all day today. So...”

“I just was looking ‑‑ relooking at that schedule. For residential pools, what if it's larger? Is that a just max fee or if it ‑‑ say somebody puts in a thousand square foot pool, which is a pretty big size pool. Where it says residential pool.”

“Yeah, Gabe, you mentioned that there's a higher fee for a higher end house. Isn't it just based on square footage? Or because it's what is considered higher end than your neighbor's house? We'll just keep you at the mic. Thanks, Gabe.”

“So what is considered luxury? Is there a definition for that?”

“I mean, you're going to add on. You're probably going to demo something and put something back. So I'd imagine that we would not have a fee on a demolition permit.”

“Well, if somebody had an old house and wanted to tear it down and demo it, you have to get a demo permit. Right. So make sure there wasn't extra fees to get a demo permit to go rebuild the house.”

“Maybe that's why we're the fastest growing, we have less fees. I would, I'm not gonna make a motion yet, but I would agree with Clayton that we would, to take this out just to postpone it, I think it would be easier, cleaner cut deal. I'm not in favor of having that. fee policy in there for the general plan i think that we have enough fees and we're pretty stable at plaster county we're very fortunate and probably better than any of those counties and cities that were mentioned so i'm not i think we have enough fees and there's enough money that we're making right now that we don't need to…”

“Yeah, but then you'd have to refer to Clayton. Would you have to have another public hearing to remove an amendment? No, no.”

“But it has to be brought back before the end of the year, end of this year.”

“If everybody's in favor of it, I would make a motion to continue this item.”

“If we're just removing one item, wouldn't it just be pretty simple to bring it back?”

“So I'll make a move. We postpone this till September 22nd at 9 AM. With the strike. With the strike of the general plan maintenance fee.”

“Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Gloria, for that presentation. Are we looking at all of Kings Beach, like the whole city of Kings Beach? Is that what this is for? Because I've, back in 2019, toured a lot of Opportunity Zones, and none of them look like Kings Beach. The ones I looked at were very distressed, very abandoned. So how do we think? I mean, it's a great opportunity. I love them. They're great. tax benefits to people who want to invest in our love to have more people invest up here but word from what i see and i see kings beach it's like completely different ends of the spectrum so how…”

“It's a great tool, I've looked into it, and it just seems like some of the properties that you want to do that with, I mean it's a 10 year extension, right? You stay there for 10 years, you get to not pay capital gains tax if you keep your, it's a great tool, but it's just, When I saw it on Kings Beach and I'm like, where I've toured opportunity zones, they sure don't look like Kings Beach. So that's why I was asking how Kings Beach became eligible for.”

“No, I think it's great. I'm all in favor of it. I just was shocked when I saw that this would be an opportunity zone, considering what I've seen in the past. But I guess things change. So thank you for that.”

“Just one more comment to follow up on my first comment that the places that I did tour and now that I've seen them after they were rebuilt, a majority of them were all for housing and most of them were for affordable housing or workforce housing. So I don't want anybody to have that misperception that we're going to, you know, these are going to be giant hotels or what have you. It seems the opportunities that I've seen and have gone forward that have passed through were actually beneficial to the people who actually work in the community. They're rundown buildings. We don't have rundown…”
