Adopt Resolution terminating the existence of a local emergency due to drought conditions in Mendocino County; and authorize Chair to sign same.
End
Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
The BOS received a presentation on April 12, 2021, about the current drought conditions. On April 20, 2021, the Board of Supervisors adopted a Resolution declaring a local emergency due to drought conditions.
Summary of Request:
On April 20, 2021, the Board of Supervisors adopted an initial declaration of a local emergency due to drought conditions throughout Mendocino County. Shortly thereafter, Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency due to drought conditions in the Russian River watershed, and the State Water Resources Control Board notified certain junior water rights holders of a need to limit water diversions in order to preserve drinking water availability. Increased precipitation throughout the region during the winter storms in late 2022 and early 2023 has improved water supplies and conditions are such that staff recommend that an extension of the local emergency is no longer required. Notwithstanding the lack of emergency conditions, staff recommend the Board of Supervisors continue to remind the public that effects of the drought persist, and water-saving efforts should continue.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Provide direction to staff.
