Marshall executive urges support for Measure S, says Placerville to receive hospital and fire investments

Maya Schneider, who identified herself as the executive director of business and strategy for Marshall, used the public-comment period to outline Measure S and direct residents to the measure's full ballot language.

"Measure S is designed to strengthen emergency response for fire and emergency health care as well as provide dollars for fire prevention and mitigation," Schneider said, noting that all 12 fire districts in the county would start receiving revenue in year one and that Marshall would receive funds to modernize hospital facilities. She told listeners that construction investments in Placerville are "in the tens of millions of dollars" and that projected funding includes seismic upgrades and improvements to surgical and catheterization lab capacity. Schneider encouraged voters to visit elderadoradoready.org for details and wished the community luck in the November 3 election.

Schneider also described an allocation plan in which county fire receives a portion of the total fire-district allocation (she cited roughly 20% to county fire) and projected $60 million over 30 years for county fire district allocations and more than $30 million for fire prevention programs administered through nonprofit partners. The speaker framed her comments as factual background and a voter-education invitation rather than a formal city presentation.
