LAKEPORT, Calif. – This week the Board of Supervisors will once again discuss the continuation of a drought proclamation issued earlier this year, and consider participation in the Great California Shakeout and an application for an invasive mussels grant.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. TV8 will broadcast the meeting live, with the video available online at http://www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Board_of_Supervisors/calendar.htm .
In an untimed item, county Emergency Services Manager Marisa Chilafoe will take to the supervisors a request to continue the proclamation of emergency declaration for drought conditions that they originally passed in March. It must be reconsidered every 30 days, based on state law.
In another untimed item, Chilafoe also will offer the board a resolution of intent to participate in the Great California Shakeout for Earthquake Preparedness, which will take place at 10:16 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 16.
“As recognized during the earthquake that struck Napa County on August 24, 2014, Lake County is not immune from natural hazards whether it be wildfire, flood, winter storm, drought or earthquake, and recognizes the importance of enhancing our ability to withstand these hazards through prevention, preparedness, response and mitigation,” Chilafoe wrote in her report to the board.
Chilafoe's report said county employees will exercise the courthouse evacuation plan on Thursday as part of the shakeout event.
In an item timed for 9:20 a.m., the board will consider authorizing Water Resources Director Scott De Leon to submit a grant application for the Quagga/Zebra Mussel Infestation Prevention Program.
In other news, at 9:10 a.m. the board will present a proclamation commending Public Health nurse Mary Dietz for her 21 years of service as she gets set to retire.
At that time, the supervisors will issue a proclamation designating the month of October 2014 as Domestic Violence Awareness month.
On Tuesday the board also will honor Robert Morton Tone on the occasion of his 100th birthday.
