MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer
DATE: January 9, 2018
SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of Regional Letter for State Budget Requests for the Fire Impacted Counties of Lake, Mendocino, Napa and Sonoma
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Since attending the Governor’s Office Recovery Summit in Sacramento on December 1, 2017 with Supervisor Steele, I have been working with my counterparts in the surrounding counties of Mendocino, Napa and Sonoma impacted by the Northbay Firestorm of 2017, to prepare a regional letter, for the consideration of all four Boards of Supervisors, outlining long-term recovery needs, future prevention measures to be taken and more. As you will note on the attachments, the resulting requests are comprehensive, divided into fiscal and policy-related legislative requests.
On January 9, 2018, all four Boards will consider this letter. Providing approval is secured in all four counties, it will be expedited to the Governor and to the CalOES Director. Given the broad nature of the requests, this letter is intended to serve as a starting point for a regional meeting, or series of meetings to further discuss both needs and solutions. In addition, this letter will be shared with Senator McGuire and Assemblymember Aguiar-Curry who have also been instrumental in our recovery efforts.
