| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
At a special meeting held on January 31, 2017, the Board of Supervisors ratified the County Administrator's proclamation of a local state of emergency within Yolo County on January 25, 2017. Government Code Section 8630(c) requires a local state of emergency to be reviewed and renewed at least once every thirty days by a board of supervisors until it is terminated. Termination is to occur at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant (Government Code Section 8630(d)). Generally, this is when conditions that triggered the emergency declaration have abated to the degree that they are within the control of the services, personnel, and equipment of a county.
Presently, based on input from the County's Office of Emergency Services, staff recommends that the Board continue the state of local emergency. Response and assessment actions are continuing, including to address levee and other public infrastructure damage that was not immediately apparent due to high water conditions. Assuming the Board of Supervisors adopts the attached resolution and confirms the existence of a local emergency, County staff will review and, if appropriate, recommend continuation or termination of the state of local emergency at each regularly scheduled Board meeting going forward. County staff will also take other appropriate steps to address local conditions, including coordinating with other local agencies on emergency response actions and the pursuit of funding assistance that may be available under the California Disaster Assistance Act. As reflected in Attachment A, the County Administrator's proclamation has been forwarded to the Director of the California Office Emergency Services for concurrence and other actions (including cost recovery) that may help local agencies respond to the disaster. |
