LAKEPORT, Calif. – Clayton fire updates and the county's transition into recovery will be among the items discussed at the Board of Supervisors meeting this week.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 23 in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
The meeting can be watched live on Channel 8 and online at http://www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Board_of_Supervisors/calendar.htm . Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.
At 9:15 a.m., the board will consider the proclamation of a location health emergency by Lake County Health Officer Karen Tait in response to the Clayton fire.
The Clayton fire, which began Aug. 13 in Lower Lake, has burned 3,929 acres and destroyed some 300 structures, about two-thirds of which were homes.
With the fire expected to be fully contained on Monday, the county is set to move quickly into the recovery phase.
Board Chair Rob Brown reported that the county is drawing on the lessons it learned in the Rocky, Jerusalem and Valley fires last year as it moves forward on the Clayton fire recovery.
In untimed items, the board will get status updates from staff, and assisting agencies and groups regarding the fire.
The board also will consider a resolution to defer the collection of zoning permit fees for temporary dwellings in the fire area, and a resolution pertaining to occupancy of temporary dwellings during the fire recovery.
