LAKEPORT, Calif. – This week the Board of Supervisors will get an update on emergency action its members took last month regarding a wildland fire incident.

The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 4, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. The meeting will be broadcast live on TV8.

The board will hold an untimed discussion that follows up on the countywide emergency declaration regarding the Wye and Walker fires the board passed unanimously at its meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 21.

The fires, which began Sunday, Aug. 12, burned a total of 7,934 acres east of Clearlake Oaks and required the temporary evacuations of the Spring Valley and Wilbur Hot Springs areas.

The day after the board passed the emergency resolution, state Sen. Noreen Evans wrote a letter to Gov. Jerry Brown asking for a disaster declaration for the county, as Lake County News has reported.

Local officials have raised concerns that the amount of damages – the total of which is not yet available – would not qualify the county for a state declaration.

In another untimed item, the board will hold the second reading of a proposed natural hazard mitigation plan.

The full agenda follows.
