Memorandum
Date: November 5, 2024
To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Johanna DeLong, Asst. Clerk of the Board
Subject: EXTRA ITEM: a) Consideration of an Extra Item; and (b) Consideration of Continuation of the Local Emergency Proclamation by the Lake County Sheriff/OES Director for the Glenhaven Fire
Executive Summary:
a) The emergency proclamation continuations were accidently left off the October 22nd meeting.
Cal OES states that renewal of the resolution should occur every 60 days until terminated. I
learned that there will not be a meeting on November 19th due to lack of quorum so I am
requesting these be taken up as extras.
(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.
