Mr. Trapani favors Measure "F" which will raise additional money for the El Dorado Hills library, which is sorely needed in our community. This Measure will remedy an oversight in the original Measure which allowed the library by having apartment building owners pay $25 per year per apartment unit towards the library, just as each homeowner in El Dorado Hills will pay. Currently, the apartment owners are only obligated to pay $25.00 per year for the entire apartment complex. This will make the assessment equitable for all and will provide approx. $100,000.00 additional for the library which may be used for more books, computers, etc. for all ages.

Mr. Trapani is concerned about crime in our growing community. He has met with El Dorado County Sheriff Neves about the prospect for a full-scale Sheriff's Office in El Dorado Hills (instead the 2 person part-time satellite office there currently). Sheriff Neves appears to be in favor of this and Mr. Trapani supports additional law enforcement for the safety of our children and families. He has also met with County Supervisor Rusty Dupray and EID (water board) director Harry Norris to discuss the issues. He also has plans to meet with Supervisor Helen Bauman.

After the experience with the El Dorado Hills CSD Board's "needless harassment" of the homeowner's in the "Yellow House" case (as declared by the Superior Court), Mr. Trapani wishes to bring balance and fairness back to the C, C & R enforcement system. In his legal practice he has witnessed what appear to be further issues and wishes to bring positive change to the community.

Mr. Trapani favors more sporting fields and recreation areas in El Dorado Hills and reasonable use and planning of such facilities; planning should involve the entire community and all interests in the community. All of the competing interests should be heard and reasonably balanced.

Mr. Trapani favors a senior center and teen center in El Dorado Hills.

He also favors more roads / less traffic congestion during this time of dynamic growth in our community.
