DATE: March 5, 2019
SUBJECT: Consideration of Continuing a Proclamation of a Local Emergency due to Clayton Fire
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As your Board is aware, in the afternoon of August 13, 2016, the Clayton Fire began in the area of Clayton Creek Rd. This prompted the activation of the Lake OES Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and Brian Martin, Lake County Sheriff, declared a Local Emergency August 14, 2016. On August 16, 2016, your Board ratified the declaration by Resolution no. 2016-825, confirming the existence of such emergency.
As the County seeks funding and performs recovery operations related to tree removal and other fire recovery projects for the Clayton Fire, it is advisable that we continue the declaration of an emergency to support the fire recovery process.
This declaration needs to be re-considered and confirmed by your Board once every 30 days to stay in effect.
