Firewise reporter said a colleague prepared most of the application and volunteers will have a second reviewer look the package over before filing with the state. The representative said they expect to submit the application within about a week and to have a clearer status update by the council’s July meeting.

The Firewise representative said neighborhood assessments were aggregated into percentages (for example, roof materials, defensible-space characteristics) for the application rather than calling out individual properties. Volunteers described the application as an overall community risk assessment with corresponding recommendations and noted the process will move to state review after submission.

Council members asked for a timeline; the Firewise representative said final edits and a map should be complete within a week and the group will submit the application to state reviewers and report any state response at the July meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Fish Camp Planning Advisory Council - May 3, 2025 ","oneSentenceSummary","Firewise volunteers reported the community’s application is about 98% complete and plan to submit supporting material — including a boundary map — to state reviewers within days.

Fultz said the Highway 41 portion will use a single-lane reversal traffic control plan during weekday work hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with no weekend work. He estimated the Highway 41 work will take two to three months, with completion likely by July; additional grading on the project site is planned later in the summer and fall.

The contractor will also perform a small amount of work on Fish Camp Lane, including paving up to the first entrance near the post office, and build a parking lot where the former gas station stood. Fultz said the project will relocate the general store entrance to the north side of the building because the current entrance sits in the Caltrans right-of-way.

The postmistress raised concerns about heavy equipment and trucks parking or blocking the post office driveway; Fultz said he would address staging and access to avoid blocking post office traffic.

Fultz said traffic delays through the work zones are expected to be short — typically five to 10 minutes — but acknowledged that reversing traffic can produce backups in heavy visitor periods. He said Caltrans issues lane-closure approvals week by week and may restrict work on holidays. Project staff said they will install flagging and may use message boards to warn approaching traffic where appropriate.","Fultz Engineering said Caltrans-approved Highway 41 work will begin with tree removal and slope excavation and will use single-lane reversing traffic control weekdays 8 a.m.–5 p.m.; contractor says the Highway 41 phase should be complete in two to three months.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6244448,"Mariposa County split over plan to dissolve Fish Camp advisory council; motion fails",2789,548000,3337000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3230073-6971ad130bb86f94bb34eca178afda20&start=548&end=3337","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3230073-6971ad130bb86f94bb34eca178afda20/thumbnail_548000.jpg","/articles/6244448/Mariposa-County/California/Mariposa-County-split-over-plan-to-dissolve-Fish-Camp-advisory-council-motion-fails","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6244448-cf6bbfb5d8b0d412a007a15b92bff34c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770724628&Signature=H5yzPzVAe~7oeZY6sqR2jsUPux6kvFBWzLUhh6xF6JVbczg2gdzED11Wv3AmnaiiM1yp5JtKVTI6GpmJSftql94y3HKE7urQXYq9i0Rh75ahpVCX9vuEltyA4vhgOI7OBaThCtqUovfI-NWR98K3ACKHqWMcsi8DkY7vuqnjz8ogJ8uJDep8JelW5AYQtiNJ15ZBKWddJ6~S5KqLmg3~B477z9OO-QJbIwpzETM8dqX7-w1dN~EMzd009ju~GbVpXz5lVu5qQiUBau6WY5SVIY9NJ4N-WtegrXF4h3Po6w5~XjnFuSh7ZJcMjayzTvjVTYYZ44K29QM2YEBX5rh14Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Supervisor Rosemary Small Chrome, Mariposa County District 1, proposed recommending that the Board of Supervisors dissolve the Fish Camp Planning Advisory Council and work with the community to design a different, non-board-appointed structure.

Supporters and opponents debated whether dissolving the council would reduce county administrative costs and free the community from Brown Act limits — allowing more flexible electronic meetings and informal information-sharing — or whether it would diminish the council’s formal channel to county decisionmakers. After discussion, a motion to dissolve the council with the caveat that the county help develop new bylaws failed on a 3-3 tie.

Rosemary Small Chrome framed the change as a budget and workload decision: “We are about $18,000,000 short, relative to the revenues that we anticipate,” she said, and argued the county must defend how it spends staff time supporting boards and committees. She noted some advisory committees are statutorily required while others are discretionary and that many of the county’s planning advisory committees were established decades ago as part of the county general plan.

Residents and council members said the council provides a rare, structured opportunity for residents, county staff and partner agencies to meet locally. “We have the voice. That’s great,” one council member said, warning that leaving the board-appointed structure could make it harder for Fish Camp concerns to be heard by agencies that require an official county position.

Supporters of a non-board community group said removing Brown Act constraints would allow short-notice conversations, photo-sharing and electronic participation for residents who travel or live out of the area. County staff and the supervisor said they would draft a redline of the current bylaws and circulate proposed bylaws that would permit electronic meetings and outline voting and quorum rules; Supervisor Small Chrome said she would send draft bylaws to the community within about a month.

The motion that failed was introduced and seconded during the meeting; the transcript records the motion’s language as dissolving the council with the caveat that the county work with the community to develop bylaws and a replacement structure. The meeting record shows a 3-3 tie, so the motion did not pass.

County staff also said they would continue to work with Fish Camp residents on alternatives, including the possibility of a renamed community organization or standing group that would not be a board-appointed committee and therefore not subject to Brown Act agenda, posting and minute requirements.

The council and residents asked for clearer timelines and more community outreach before any final board action, and several participants urged keeping the existing council in place while draft bylaws and a proposed alternative structure are developed and circulated for community feedback. The council set the next meeting for July 26; staff said they would prepare the draft bylaws before that meeting so the community could review and comment.","Mariposa County supervisors and Fish Camp residents debated dissolving the Fish Camp Planning Advisory Council to reduce county costs and remove Brown Act restrictions.
