Memorandum
Date: March 3, 2020
To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer
Subject: (a) Approve Long Distance Travel from March 30 to April 2, 2020, for County Administrative Officer Carol Huchingson to attend meetings in Washington, D.C. with Federal Representatives to advocate for additional disaster recovery funds for Lake County, and (b) Consideration of update to Fall 2019 advocacy materials for use in 2020
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
As your Board recalls, last fall, you had approved my participation in a federal advocacy trip along with Rebuild Northbay and other officials from fire impacted counties and the City of Paradise. However, I had to cancel due to extended PSPS in Lake County at that time.
Now, Rebuild Northbay is facilitating an additional trip, with a number of meetings with federal representatives in Washington D.C., for the dates noted above.
Attendees are responsible for airfare and hotel and Rebuild Northbay is coordinating local transportation and some meals.
In addition, staff is seeking your Board’s direction to update the materials prepared for the Fall 2019 trip, for use in 2020.
