Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Rancho Cordova public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Cavala Ranch driveway code enforcement notices
Homeowners across Cavala Ranch are getting 10-day 'courtesy' notices over driveway paving that wasn't enforced a decade ago, with a $10,000 variance fee as the only escape route. Council Member Little flagged it and staff promised a future policy discussion.
Radar-Enforceable Speed Limits
The council finalized an ordinance making speed limits on listed roads radar-enforceable, so speed tickets on those streets can actually stick.
Five-Year Sheriff Services Contract Extension
The city's biggest general fund expense — police services from the county sheriff — is now locked in for five years instead of three. Councilmember Little pushed through an amendment requiring the council to study what a city-run police department would cost and mean before the next budget cycle.
