We have a new tagger in Salida. Anyone who recognizes this moniker please email [email protected]
If you know the name of the person defacing public and private property please let us know. It will remain strictly confidential. All we want is the name of the tagger to turn over to the sheriff’s department.

Reminder: Salida MAC Meeting is tonight. 7:00 PM. Salida Library.
The MAC will be recognizing Salida resident, Doug Dressler as a “Good Neighbor.” Doug and his family have lived in Salida for 14 years in the Amberwood neighborhood. You can always see Doug raking, blowing and sweeping not just his yard or in front of his house but all over his street. Doug also cleans the old yard sale signs off the poles at the intersection of Gold Valley and Finney. Last seen, Doug had his w**d whacker out, knocking down all the w**ds that had grown up through the sidewalk on the west side of Finney. Thank you, Doug for always going above and beyond!!!!

If you would like to nominate a Good Neighbor please email the MAC.

Salida residents have an important decision to make as you mark your ballot for the June 2 Primary. Measure J is asking Salida Fire Protection District to support a new special tax to keep our fire district going. Here is something to ponder as you are deciding how to vote on Measure J. Insurance companies use the Insurance Services Office (ISO) to determine a community's Public Protection Classification (PPC), commonly known as an IOS score. The cost of your homeowners insurance is directly tied to ISO scores. Your ISO score evaluates your local fire department, 1 being the best and 10 being the worst. This determines part of the cost for your homeowners insurance. Communities with staffed full time fire stations receive lower scores because response times are better. Right now Salida is considered a 2. This is good. It keeps our homeowners insurance low. If Station 12 goes away, it’s gone folks. Forever. We aren’t getting it back. Every homeowner’s annual insurance policy will spike. A community being served by a distant fire station (from Modesto or County Consolidated) will cause your ISO score to go up which will increase your annual homeowner’s insurance. Because response times can be slower, your home is considered a higher risk, which typically results in higher annual premiums. So, are you still worried about being asked to pay that additional $168 per year? Please think about this carefully.
