When our representatives are making important
decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask
one basic question before making
those decisions, Is this good for
the children? Just imagine what our world would be
like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to
war, the environment, education or healthcare.

3.. Our
second guest, Vesta Copestakes, shares the work
of the Lower Russian River Advisory Council of the
5th District of the County of Sonoma, on which she represents Forestville.
The county is reviewing changes to be made to the
Vacation Rental Ordinance. Some neighborhoods are
complaining that the character of the neighborhoods
suffer from the non-residential ownerships and the
guests from out of the area. The way emergencies are
handled and how vacation renters are apprised of the
emergency response in Sonoma County, especially with the
increased danger of wildfires due to Climate Change,
will be expressly stated in the revised ordinance. There
is a possibility that vacation rentals will be
taken out of land use under Permit Sonoma and changed to
business licenses. By February the Advisory Council
plans to submit this to the Board of Supervisors. Your
input is welcome, especially if you live in the 5th
District. Visit the County website at
https://sonomacounty.ca.gov/River-Municipal-Advisory-Council/
