Memorandum
Date: March 3, 2020
To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Scott De Leon, Public Works Director
Subject: Adopt Resolution to Indicate No Objection to the Proposed Expansion of the Existing Helipad at the Boggs Mountain Helitack Base
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The State Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Calfire) plans to house a larger helicopter at the Boggs Mountain Station, and a larger helicopter parking pad will be required for this aircraft. No changes are planned to the flight path or operations, only an increase in the size of the parking pad. Caltrans, who administers all aeronautical use permits in the State, requires a review by the local Airport Land Use Commission and a Resolution from the local governmental agency as part of the permitting process.
The Airport Land Use Commission considered the proposed expansion at their meeting in February, and found that the project had no impact on the use or operations at Lampson Airfield, and this item is intended to create a Resolution from your Board indicating you have no objection to the project as well.
