Supervisor (speaker 5) said the CSAC panel on disaster response and recovery included Secretary Johnson and other state officials. The supervisor summarized the secretary’s remarks: “We will have to reprioritize,” a line the supervisor attributed to Secretary Johnson while discussing potential reductions in federal safety-net programs that counties rely on during disaster response.

Why it matters: county disaster response often depends on federal programs and safety nets; reductions at the federal level could alter the resources available to counties for recovery and support to residents in disaster-affected areas. The supervisor said the panel also reviewed how state and federal resources coordinate during disaster response and the likely effects of program changes on counties.

Details: the supervisor said the panel was part of a longer CSAC regional meeting and noted concern about funding freezes and how they could affect local projects and response capacity. The supervisor reported that Cal OES is reviewing programs to understand impacts for local counties.

Ending: Supervisors passed on the panel summary to colleagues and said the issue will affect county planning for disaster response and recovery as state and federal budgets and programs evolve.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Supervisors Tues Mtg 03-18-25 · Calendars","oneSentenceSummary","A supervisor who attended a California State Association of Counties regional meeting said state Health and Human Services Secretary Johnson warned counties may need to reprioritize services if federal safety-net programs are reduced.","taxTitle","Lake County, California","taxId",17505,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6124878,"Supervisors say county is meeting with tribes, water resources about Middle Creek/Clover Creek project",116,926060,1042640,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2678990-a3b56b20d98f7ec315118c9ebedcc24f&start=926&end=1042","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2678990-a3b56b20d98f7ec315118c9ebedcc24f/thumbnail_926060.jpg","/articles/6124878/Lake-County/California/Supervisors-say-county-is-meeting-with-tribes-water-resources-about-Middle-CreekClover-Creek-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6124878-6e1feb5585bfdead1fa69c1d9109c223/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150009&Signature=cp7LlPfkMNcMGx63v~GO3pjFRV7TmnWoKtPrWmLHeieKaGI7l12nacbr9LnxtSOp3MfUy1C7a9UwQSrROlsnSEZKuLO-YGbhaTLAhkSRQ7bYufsnBQxoJr24ZwaU5paXHKIrPEqQtWa-Y6TZbiBkIvnqd0g0w2d0~X-rFZKD3haGdleJp-UQfVxmKI~S5qDmeMdLPgabIya-2U7Q13VrHoqPyZ0-m6xvZLUI6yXM7UIylvamzy7HeZHF5kSiVfpDzIXbEOmUzSEicXa1uF3LnnZGdbU~T7-dq5U58kcSno2jvEQuLEuesOdRUq8L4tLOy2Yh8ZIKlp3wPW-OSnzRag__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Supervisors reported that county staff, tribal representatives and project partners held preparatory meetings about the Clover Creek diversion and Middle Creek levee work to clarify cultural-resources processes and avoid later conflicts when construction work begins.

Supervisor (speaker 1) said county water-resources staff, county counsel (identified in the discussion as “Jackson”), Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (THPOs) and representatives from the tribe met to review how cultural-resources concerns would be addressed during design and implementation of the Clover Creek diversion and Middle Creek levee work. The supervisor characterized the meeting as “really, really good” and said the early coordination aimed to ensure language and expectations were aligned before the project advances.

Why it matters: supervisors said early, sustained consultation with tribal partners and consistent terminology can reduce later disputes or delays on projects that affect cultural resources. At least one supervisor noted that cultural-resources reviews are governed in part by California law and that early engagement can smooth later permitting and review steps.

Details: speakers named several participants in the coordination: county counsel “Jackson,” Angela DePalma Dow, and Terry Logston, along with tribal representatives and water-resources staff. A supervisor said the county has been meeting monthly with THPOs and historic-preservation officers as part of ongoing outreach. The supervisor said this preparatory work should help prevent confusion that sometimes arises when cultural-resources engagement occurs only after design is advanced.

Ending: Supervisors described the coordination as proactive and continuing, with further THPO meetings and regular monthly check-ins planned before formal project milestones.","Supervisors reported recent meetings among county counsel, water-resources staff, tribal representatives and project stakeholders to align terminology and cultural-resources review ahead of a Clover Creek diversion/Middle Creek levee project.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6124883,"County officials say Water for Fire town hall raised hydrant, tank and sprinkler concerns",106,764540,870570,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2678990-a3b56b20d98f7ec315118c9ebedcc24f&start=764&end=870","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2678990-a3b56b20d98f7ec315118c9ebedcc24f/thumbnail_764540.jpg","/articles/6124883/Lake-County/California/County-officials-say-Water-for-Fire-town-hall-raised-hydrant-tank-and-sprinkler-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6124883-a48de9576ccc2da5a1f5b58da6d25cab/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150009&Signature=ci-9uB~jdZBibaPftxwoFsD-rm6zO2cVn0D9GxEGYR7cyEiod4oRzeSkX~Kxfx9mrxNDCqoWE84oRWeEjcyiGSmDVXuqreCTnG3Rb0nUkN1ABSL4KIIbSTGMw1UMpsHdP1wLAvH2rjbps~45SzWr8vtRfo0OOamh5e8Kz2XXF~y~M6hywzSBWyQJApPH7ItcWdBBtHGL~jAdGWADbLxkdKToMA9rrvHpVLnFMBT9EKTM6GflEflPCObCBUtTmxvKQPOlHWvJ2mJSBscyTqOnzzyzW1Nb3lEbKEYbTwppg9lNzuayTjR3u-wQ1IjfOTXXXFzBFOoGT8Gs1OzSxKj-oQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County supervisors reported that a recent Water for Fire Suppression town hall brought water providers, fire chiefs and building-code officials together to discuss practical constraints to using drinking-water systems for fire suppression and options such as stored tanks or dedicated hydrant storage.

Supervisor (speaker 1) said the town hall included robust technical discussion about hydrant storage and the limitations of relying on drinking-water supplies for extended fire suppression. Attendees discussed National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard tank sizes commonly used for rural hydrant systems — roughly 2,500 to 5,000 gallons — and challenges with filling and suction when those tanks are drawn down.

Why it matters: supervisors and local water providers said planning for reliable local supplies and storage is a necessary part of wildfire preparedness. County officials described trade-offs between everyday potable-water needs and the large volumes required during sustained fire response.

Details from the meeting: supervisors said the meeting was technical and helpful, noting that meter hookups, storage configurations and sprinkler requirements for construction were all raised as practical issues. One supervisor reported the session ran longer than planned because detailed technical questions kept the conversation going; organizers will schedule follow-ups. A supervisor said the meeting will continue and that organizers are considering “out of the box” solutions to collect and store water during rainy periods when capture is possible.

Ending: Supervisors described the town hall as productive and said additional meetings will be scheduled to refine local storage and system solutions for fire suppression.","Supervisors described a Water for Fire Suppression town hall where water providers, fire chiefs and building-code officials discussed hydrant storage, NFPA tanks and sprinkler hookups as tools and constraints for local fire response.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6124887,"Supervisors report push to expand Firewise communities, countywide inspection program",90,83440,173790,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2678990-a3b56b20d98f7ec315118c9ebedcc24f&start=83&end=173","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2678990-a3b56b20d98f7ec315118c9ebedcc24f/thumbnail_83440.jpg","/articles/6124887/Lake-County/California/Supervisors-report-push-to-expand-Firewise-communities-countywide-inspection-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6124887-185fbab01da9b8ef5abfa50b5f7ece3b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771150009&Signature=efsu0YIKz69~TEXbJX-W25532D5QkeZqTKvfORsz~avDme5kDNTy~OwgmSc9TBXoVnU9~pRbIZZNABO873P7NSyL~CDy8iF5KfXk4RWoJG5-KSLqASeNuVKK0O2CBIWOtYe-Pg22NStVi7iu1oGDhZNpPcrOl67ZH7sNmhXQORuOmeYKY1RIukjIBz9jlnkiMj43iuh4vdoPFnFgEg-nqDic8I9Y6S471ztFGBL4q5-XioAXx6RpQTrr2S~8OMGpIRs-zDvet-7kjISphh2GZfG8Np5kwyf8hcDhrwb8R73FGjrOfdEqK4vFwJQh0HYRNMA3UvWLZZl~2b~MgOOcdw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Supervisors at the Lake County Board of Supervisors weekly reports described new and ongoing community fire-safety efforts, including town halls on Firewise communities, a property review/inspection program offered by the Lake County Fire Protection District, and planning for an umbrella Fire Safe Council covering multiple communities.

The county’s discussions grew out of a recent Fire Safe Summit in Middletown and follow-up town halls in Lower Lake and other communities. Supervisor (speaker 2) said the summit was well attended and highlighted a new property review inspection program the Lake County Fire Protection District is offering to help residents assess their “defensible space” and home-hardening needs. The supervisor added that the paperwork from that inspection can be used by residents who believe they are not receiving the correct insurance rate, but “not to say that it will help you with your insurance,” reflecting cautious guidance from staff and fire officials.

Why it matters: county supervisors said building local Firewise communities and coordinating across jurisdictions could increase preparedness ahead of wildfire season and help direct scarce risk-reduction resources. Supervisors and community partners described interest from residents in forming neighborhood Firewise groups and a broader, umbrella Fire Safe Council to coordinate those efforts across Lower Lake, Clear Lake and neighboring areas.

Details and planning: Supervisor (speaker 2) thanked several local leaders involved in organizing the events, including Mayor Kramer, City Manager Alan Flora, Autumn Lancaster (fire marshal, Lake County Fire Protection District), Chief Cepeda, and Teresa Harberth, president of the Lower Lake Community Action Agency, saying those partners helped bring in “activity and interests so that we can get going.” Supervisors also reported follow-up steps: more town halls are planned, and organizers intend to use a scheduling poll to set the next meeting date. One supervisor noted the county will continue to develop a Fire Safe Council umbrella to help coordinate the creation of neighborhood Firewise communities.

Background and context: supervisors referenced recent local workshops such as a Kenoctet/Kenocta (transcript spelling variations) Fire Safe Council summit that drew Cal Fire and state and local Office of Emergency Services representatives. Separate local meetings — including tree-mortality task force and risk-reduction authority gatherings — were mentioned as part of a cluster of wildfire-risk activities across the county.

Community reaction and next steps: supervisors said the meetings drew strong public interest and that officials plan more outreach and field work tied to home-hardening and tank-fill projects. A supervisor noted a home-hardening program had completed its twentieth house and that a related field visit was planned. County staff and partners will continue to schedule town halls and coordinate technical assistance for neighborhoods seeking Firewise designation.

Ending: Supervisors framed the work as early-stage but active: multiple town halls, inspections and partner meetings are set to continue, with the goal of helping residents and jurisdictions reduce wildfire risk ahead of future fire seasons.","Supervisors described recent Fire Safe Summit and related town halls aimed at expanding Firewise communities, a county property inspection program run by the Lake County Fire Protection District, and plans to form an umbrella Fire Safe Council.","actionData","errors"]
