Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

On October 27, 2019, Governor Gavin Newsom declared a State of Emergency for the state of California.  On October 30, 2019, the Mendocino County Chief Executive Officer/Director of Emergency Services proclaimed that a Local Emergency exists throughout Mendocino County. The Board of Supervisors has continued to declare the continuation of the local emergency every 30 days.                      

 

Summary of Request

On October 26, 2019, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) de-energized the power to all of Mendocino County resulting in all 90,000 residents being without power for 4 days or more.  PG&E began the line inspections for re-energization on October 30 and stated that it will take up to 48 hours to restore power county-wide.  The extended outage has created a local emergency in Mendocino County.  On October 30, 2019, the Mendocino County Chief Executive Officer/Director of Emergency services proclaimed, by delegation, that a state of emergency exists. Pursuant to Mendocino County Code Section 7.04.090(3), the Board of Supervisors shall review, at its regularly scheduled meeting, the need for continuing the local emergency.
