MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Scott De Leon, Public Works/Water Resources Director
DATE: June 7, 2022
SUBJECT: EXTRA ITEM - (a) Consideration of “extra” agenda item, and, (b) Consideration of Resolution that Authorizes the County Administrative Officer to enter into an Agreement with the State of California for the Soda Bay Corridor Evacuation Route Planning and Maintenance Project
Executive Summary:
This item is being submitted as an "extra" agenda item. The justification for this request to consider an item not on the posted agenda is as follows:
• The need to take action came to the attention of this department subsequent to the posting of the current agenda.
The Department was notified late Friday by CalFire that the deadline for completing all grant paperwork had been moved from June 1J1h to June 10th. The notification from the
State was received after the agenda for today's meeting was already released to the public.
• There is a need to take immediate action before the next available agenda.
This Resolution authorizes the County Administrative Officer, or her designee, to sign the
Agreement with the State of California for this particular grant. The Resolution will be an attachment to the Agreement, which has a deadline of Friday, June 10th. Our Agreement will not be considered complete without the Resolution, and if we do not meet the deadline we risk losing the funding.
Staff requests that the Board of Supervisors concur that justification exists to consider this for an extra agenda item.
In November 2021, your Board authorized the submittal of an application for funding for a grant opportunity through the California Fire Safe Council called the 21 CALFIRE Evacuation Route Planning and Development Grant Program. The program provides financial assistance for entities to complete wildfire evacuation route projects. Eligible projects include evacuation route planning, implementation, public education, construction, signage, maintenance, and related activities. Staff submitted an application to perform evacuation route planning for communities along the Soda Bay Corridor between Kelseyville Riviera and the community of Soda Bay, and we were recently informed that our project had been selected for funding.
Today's item is intended for your Board to adopt a resolution that authorizes the County Administrative Officer, or her designee, to sign the Agreement with the State for the project. A copy of the Agreement and the Resolution are attached.
