(PLACERVILLE, CA) – The El Dorado County Health and Human Services Agency, Veteran Services office is hosting a public meeting on January 30, 2025, regarding the criteria and process for placing military honoraria at the El Dorado County Veterans Monument.

“During the meeting, community members and veteran organization stakeholders are invited to provide input on the criteria and proposed updates to the criteria related to placing military honoraria (such as memorial bricks, stones, benches and plaques) at the Veterans Monument,” said Timalynn Jaynes, Assistant Director of El Dorado County Human Services. In addition to the public meeting, members of the public may provide input on the monument’s criteria for military honoraria by completing an online survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2SMGYXZ.

 

The Veterans Monument was established in 2006 to recognize and honor military veterans for their service. The monument grounds are located at the eastern end of the El Dorado County Government Center at 330 Fair Lane in Placerville. On September 11, 2007, the County Board of Supervisors adopted “El Dorado County Veterans Monument Criteria for Military Honoraria and Civilian Recognition” and County Ordinance #4743 related to use of the monument.

 

“We’re fortunate to have such a special monument in our county where we can recognize the service and significant contributions of military veterans,” said Jaynes. “While the monument is especially important to our veteran community and their families, anyone in our county who has an opportunity to visit the monument grounds can see the hard work and dedication that has gone into making it what it is today.”

 

According to Jaynes, the criteria for the placement of miliary honoraria at the monument site are currently being updated to help clarify eligibility for inclusion, the application and review process, and the process for application appeals.
