Memorandum
Date: October 8, 2024
To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Rob Howe, Lake County Sheriff/Director, Office of Emergency Services
Subject: EXTRA ITEM: (a) Consideration of “extra” agenda item, and
(b) Consideration of Ratification of the Local Emergency Proclamation by the Lake County Sheriff/OES Director for the Glenhaven Fire
Executive Summary:
(a) This item is being submitted as an “extra” agenda item. The justification for this request to consider an item not on the posted agenda is as follows:
This item came to attention subsequent to the posting of the current agenda and there is a need to take action before the next agenda.
(b) Section 6-5 of the Lake County Code empowers the Director of Emergency Services to declare the existence or threatened existence of a Local Emergency when Lake County is affected or likely to be affected by a public calamity. The Sheriff/OES Director's Proclamation expires seven days after issuance unless confirmed and ratified by the Lake County Board of Supervisors.
As your Board is aware, as OES Director, I declared a Local Emergency in response to the Glenhaven Fire, which ignited October 4, 2024, near Hwy 20 and Glenhaven Drive in Glenhaven, CA. Over 400 acres burned, threatening over 2,000 structures and resulting in mass evacuations.
Staff recommends your Board recognize emergency conditions persist, and ratify the Local Emergency related to the Glenhaven Fire.
