Recommended Action/Motion:
recommendation
Adopt Resolution opposing off shore oil drilling on the Pacific Coast in response to the call for comments on the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s draft proposed Five-Year Outer Continental Shelf Offshore Oil and Gas Leasing Program for 2019 through 2024; and authorize Chair to sign same.
End
Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
The Mendocino County Board of Supervisors has historically opposed off-shore oil drilling, most recently sending letters on May 11, 2011 and on January 10, 2017, in opposition of off-shore oil drilling off the California coastline, and stressing the importance of the Mendocino Coast. Other related actions by the Board were taken on February 6, 2001 (Resolution 01-030); April 4, 2006 (Resolution No. 06- 044); July 24, 2007; April 7, 2009.
Summary of Request:
The County of Mendocino opposes the inclusion of any portion of the Pacific Coast in BOEM’s Draft Proposed Five-Year OCS Leasing Program. Such action threatens the regional clean-coast economy which relies on healthy ecosystems and fisheries and the multiple visitor-serving industries that depend on them.
The adopted Resolution will be submitted as comments as requested on the Draft Proposed Five-Year OCS Leasing Program as well as copies submitted to the California State Legislature, to California’s Governor, all members of California’s Congressional Delegation, and the White House.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not adopt Resolution.
