The council will meet at 5:15 p.m. Monday, Aug. 13, in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
The single agenda item is the council’s review of the need to continue the proclamation declaring a local state of emergency due to conditions of extreme peril as a result of the River fire, which along with the Ranch fire is now part of the Mendocino Complex.
On July 28, the director of emergency services for the city of Lakeport declared a local state of emergency in connection with the conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the city as a result of the River fire, according to the staff report from City Manager Margaret Silveira.
Silveira said the council subsequently ratified the declaration on July 30 in accordance with the Emergency Services Act Section 8630(b) and Lakeport Municipal Code section 2.28.130, under Resolution 2679 (2018).
Lakeport Municipal Code requires the city council to review, at least every 14 days, the need for continuing the emergency declaration until the local emergency is terminated, Silveira said.
The council has the option to approve the need for the continuation of the proclamation declaring a local state of emergency due to Mendocino Complex or to proclaim the state of emergency’s termination, according to Silveira.
