Michael's Goals and Vision for Placerville
Preserve Old City Hall & Emigrant Jane Buildings (Ketchup and Mustard Buildings)
Ensure the preservation of the iconic Old City Hall buildings, known fondly as the "Ketchup and Mustard Buildings"
Establish Downtown Historic District
Advocate for the establishment of a designated historic
district in our downtown area to preserve our community's heritage.
Fire Insurance and Fire Safe Council
Supported the creation of the Placerville Fire Safe
Council. Their efforts led to a certification level that secured
modest insurance discounts for policyholders with most companies.
I will continue to work with state officials and private sector
representatives to provide our residents with more insurance options.
Expanding Access and Revitalization for a Thriving Future on Broadway
Recent revitalization efforts extend beyond the charm of Main Street. As a local city council member, I have played a key role in securing funding for vital projects like the improvements on Broadway and soon-to-come upgrades on Placerville Drive. These projects aim to enhance access, attract and retain thriving businesses, and make Placerville a destination for residents and visitors alike. With the recent CPUC recommendation of over $20 million in grant funds for broadband expansion, more than 1,300 underserved residents will soon gain reliable internet access, further ensuring Placerville is a place to live, work, and play.
Community Initiatives
Fire Safety
Homelessness/Public Safety
Streets and Roads
Protecting the health and welfare of our residents, businesses, and visitors is my top priority. I will continue to prioritize funding to combat illegal campfires and explore alternatives to PG&E, such as regional micro-grids. Additionally, I will seek additional state and federal funding to address traffic issues and improve enforcement.
Streets and Roads

Streets and Roads
Our ongoing efforts funded by Measures H & L generate nearly $3 million annually for sewer and street repairs. We continue to invest thoughtfully in projects citywide, including the recent replacement of sewer pipes and paving on Spring & Mosquito Streets in 2020, and Upper Broadway, Coon Hollow, and Middletown Roads in early 2021.

We continue to invest thoughtfully in projects citywide, including the recent replacement of sewer pipes and paving on Spring & Mosquito Streets in 2020, and Upper Broadway, Coon Hollow, and Middletown Roads in early 2021. I will advocate for increased city funds allocated to pothole repair and collaborate with county partners on regional solutions to ease congestion, particularly during peak times like Apple Hill visits and Tahoe traffic.
Economic Vitality
Homelessness/Public Safety
Homelessness/Public Safety
Recent state laws have unfortunately contributed to the closure of some local businesses. Placerville must an accommodating place for new businesses and a vibrant shopping destination. I am committed to fostering economic growth, job creation, and retention in our city. My approach to the city's budget is straightforward: efficiency and effectiveness without empty promises or gimmicks.

Homelessness/Public Safety
While we are fortunate to live in an incredible area, addressing
homelessness remains a
pressing issue. We have made strides, including clearing Upper Broadway of its homeless camp, but more work must be done. I am committed to enforcing our no-camping ordinance, especially in light of the recent
Supreme Court decision.
