‘Remote caller bingo’ for nonprofits considered

The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors will consider allowing nonprofits to host “remote caller bingo” events in the unincorporated parts of the county. The game has become more popular in areas where it is legal, with bingo numbers called through an Internet feed to various locations. The game involves more players and bigger prizes. The Board of Supervisors will begin open session at 9 a.m., Board of Supervisors Meeting Room, 330 Fair Lane, Building A, Placerville.

Davis looks at stricter oversight of rental housing

The Davis City Council will consider whether to create stricter rental housing oversight that includes inspection requirements. Of the 26,823 residential units in Davis, 57 percent are rentals. The inspection program would initially focus on single-family housing. Inspections would occur on a periodic basis with random audits. Rental managers have expressed concerns with the inspection requirement due to costs and a belief that Davis doesn’t have property management problems, according to the staff report. The discussion is scheduled for 9 p.m., 23 Russell Blvd., Davis.
