5.2EXTRA ITEM #2 – Consideration of Request to Authorize the County Administrative Officer to Send a Letter to Spontaneous Disaster Shelters and Donations Drop Off Sites Relative to the Clayton Fire local disaster
Letter
approved as amended — Pass
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This is to advise your Board that a matter arose since the posting of the current agenda which requires immediate Board discussion and/or consideration based upon the following facts:
As your Board is aware, a wildland fire known as the Clayton Fire began in Lake County on August 13, 2016, destroying structures and burning 4000+acres. Presently, that fire is only 5% contained. The County and the American Red Cross (ARC) have joined forces to establish three disaster shelters for evacuees while other spontaneous shelter and/or donations drop off sites are opening apart from County/ARC operations.
As your Board recalls from the wildfire disasters of 2015, despite the well-intended humanitarian efforts of the operators, many concerns arose, as well as County responsibility, liability and expense relative to the opening of spontaneous shelters and donations drop off sites. In some circumstances, there were safety, sanitation and ADA (American's with Disabilities Act) compliance concerns at the spontaneous shelters. The volume of donations received at the various sites far exceeded the needs of survivors, consisted of many substandard goods not suitable for survivor use, and required considerable taxpayer resources and expense to eventually clean up.
..Recommended Action
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
I am requesting Board approval to sign and send the attached letter to all operators of spontaneous shelters and/or donations drop off sites urging them to encourage evacuees to move to the County/ARC approved shelters and cease operations. Moreover, operators who accept donations must accept full responsibility for distributing such donated items and ultimately, for disposing of leftover items and should not assume that they will be assisted by the County at taxpayer expense.
The existence of the spontaneous shelters and/or donations drop off sites emergency arose since the posting of the current agenda and the emergency conditions necessitate that this matter be taken up as soon as practically possible.

On motion of Supervisor Comstock, and by vote of the Board, authorized the County Administrative Officer to send a letter, as amended, to spontaneous Disaster Shelters and Donations Drop Off Sites relative to the Clayton Fire local disaster. The letter will add that the locations not authorized by the County will notify the individuals arriving at their site that they are operating as an independent shelter. The motion carried by the following vote:
Clerk’s notes: Chair Brown presented the item to the Board. Lake County will not be accepting in-kind donations for fire victims at this time. Monetary donations will be accepted through the following organizations: North Coast Opportunities, Mendo-Lake Credit Union, Lake Area Rotary Club Association, Lake County Rising and Lower Lake Community Action Group.
Supervisor Steele suggested that the locations not authorized by the County notify the individuals arriving at their site that they are operating as an independent shelter. This information will be added to the proposed letter to Operators of Spontaneous Shelters and/or Disaster Drop Off Sites.

8.29:15 A.M. - Consideration of Request from Gary Boyce for a Waiver of Required Sewer Connection, Section 205 of the Sewer Use Ordinance, for Property Located at 3296 15th Street, Clearlake, CA., APN 038-202-3300
Action Item
approved — Pass
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Gary Boyce is in escrow on APN 038-202-33 based on the attached letter from David Donovan of the Environmental Health Department dated April 23, 1990, approving the site for a septic system. Mr. Boyce called Special Districts as part of his due diligence to inquire about any potential sewer district issues. Jill Shaul advised him that the parcel is within 200' of available public sewer in Country Club Drive, and that per the Sewer Use Ordinance, Appendix A, Article II, Section 205,(attached) the property would be required to connect to sewer. He came in to Special District's office and shared with Jill Shaul the letter from Environmental Health dated April 23, 1990. The sewage collection system serving A.D. 1-7 was completed in 1986, (see attached boundary map). It's unknown why an inquiry regarding sewer availability to the parcel wasn't made in 1990 when the property was approved for septic.
Should Mr. Boyce be required to connect to the sewer line, the contractor would need to excavate around a water line, trench across the width of Country Club Drive and avoid a sewer force main to access the 6" sanitary sewer gravity line for a lateral tap. The parcels on the northeast side of Country Club Drive were not provided with laterals since they were not included in the A.D.1-7 boundary and not assessed for service. Please see the attached Plan and Profile maps. The structures in the Clear Lake Woods Subdivision north of Country Club, (also known as Sulphur Bank Drive), are all served by septic systems. Please see the attached GIS map with the subject parcel highlighted in blue. Also, please see the attached handwritten request from Mr. Boyce. The District supports Mr. Boyce's request for a waiver of the requirement to connect to the sewage collection system as does Environmental Health Director Ray Ruminski.

Action Item
approved — Pass
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Since 1996, the County has entertained the possibility of acquiring from the federal government the property known as "Coast Guard LORAN Station Middletown". Presently, the County has no specific plans for the use of the property and said property could only be acquired at the significant cost of building and maintaining a fence and firebreak around the property, as required by the federal government. Relinquishing our interest in the property will result in budgetary savings and may open up the property for a more productive use by another entity. First District Supervisor Jim Comstock agrees with staff's recommendation. Moreover, by withdrawing our interest, it is hoped that the property would be made available for sale to a private owner, leading to property tax revenue for the County.
