Fire Fee topic at the Feb. 20 Amador-El Dorado Forest Forum

 CAMINO – Cox will provide information on three senate bills that Sen. Gaines has introduced regarding the SRA Fire Fee. A CalFire representative will also be on hand to discuss CalFire’s role in delivery of the SRA fee and notable challenges the department has encountered. This is an informational panel and not a debate-style meeting.

The meeting will take place at the Crystal Basin Bistro, located at 3590 Carson Road in Camino. Social Hour begins at 6 p.m., and dinner starts at 6:30 p.m. To reserve a space for dinner contact Diane Dealey Neill at dianedealeyneill@sbcglobal.net or 530-417-1960 by Feb. 18 at 5 p.m. A complete Chicken Parmesan dinner with coffee or tea will be served for $20 per person. Beer and wine are available, with a wine tasting bar featuring local wines. Raffle tickets to support the Forest Forum may be purchased at the door.

The Forum meets once a month in fall, winter and spring months at various locations in the two-county area.
