| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution which establishes deadlines for the submission of Debris Removal Right-of-Entry Permits, Alternative Fire Debris Removal Program Applications and Work Plans, and completion of debris removal under the Alternative Program. |
| | | | | | | | SUMMARY
Fire debris removal deadlines are proposed. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The Carr Fire has burned over a thousand structures. The Health Officer has issued a Proclamation of Local Health Emergency and the Board has required removal of the fire debris (Ordinance No. 743). Properties may be cleaned through the Office of Emergency Services (OES) Program. Property owners may submit a Right-of-Entry (ROE) form and the OES Program will do the rest. ROE’s have been submitted for a third of the affected properties and cleanups have begun. Alternately, property owners may do the work at their own cost. Methods and results shall be equivalent. ROE’s and Alternate Program applications shall be submitted by the end of September. Alternate Program cleanups shall be initiated by September 30, 2018, and completed by November 7, 2018. Noncompliant parcels will be addressed through the abatement process as specified in the Ordinance. |
| | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVES
The Board may elect to enact different deadlines or may decline to specify deadlines at this time. Fire debris will remain a threat to public health and the environment in the interim. |
| | | | | | | | OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
County Counsel has approved the resolution as to form. The recommendation has been reviewed by the County Administrative Office. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCING
The OES Program is funded through federal, state and county sources. Abatement costs will be recovered through liens on the affected properties. There is no General Fund impact. |
