| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
At a special meeting held on January 31, 2017, the Board of Supervisors ratified the County Administrator's January 25, 2017 proclamation of a local state of emergency within Yolo County (Attachment A). Then, at a special meeting held on February 15, 2017, the Board of Supervisors ratified the County Administrator's February 10, 2017 and February 13, 2017 proclamations of local states of emergencies within Yolo County (Attachments B and C). Government Code Section 8630(c) requires a board of supervisors to review and renew a local state of emergency at least once every thirty days 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 states of local emergencies. 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. Further, the exact extent of the damage to the Oroville Dam spillway infrastructure is the subject of ongoing assessment and is expected to be hampered by future storms and the continuous flow of water into Lake Oroville potentially causing further damage and necessitating more evacuations into Yolo County from affected areas requiring the use of Yolo County resources. Assuming the Board of Supervisors adopts the attached resolutions and confirms the existence of local emergencies, County staff will review and, if appropriate, recommend continuation or termination of each 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. The County Administrator's proclamations have 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. |
