MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: Tina Scott, 4th District Supervisor
DATE: April 4, 2017
SUBJECT: Discussion regarding the possibility of Lake County declaring that it is a place of trust and safety for immigrants who work in our community
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
During our April 4, 2017 agenda, I am requesting an opportunity to engage in discussion with the full Board, regarding the possibility of Lake County declaring that it is a place of trust and safety for immigrants who work in our community. The recent flooding on Clear Lake forced the evacuation of dozens of local residents who live in lakeside mobile home parks in Lakeport. A number of those residents are undocumented local Ag workers who have feared that while under evacuation, their immigration status could come to light, leading to possible deportation. These workers play a very important part in our local Ag industry and the Lake County economy. I am requesting that the Board consider directing staff to prepare a resolution in support of our local immigrant community.
