DISCUSSION:

On July 20, 2021, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 21-77 which declared a local emergency due to drought. 

 

Ordinance No. 2447 empowers the Board of Supervisors to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a local emergency when the county is affected or likely to be affected by conditions of disaster or of extreme peril. 

 

Because conditions of severe risk to the safety of persons and property and the integrity of natural and cultural resources still exists within the county caused by drought, it has been determined that the local emergency should remain in effect until Aug. 9, 2022.

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
