Bernadette Sisson, associate planner, presented six separate applications from landowners seeking new single‑property contracts or amendments to existing active‑reserve contracts. For each application staff recommended the board determine the project exempt pursuant to section 15317, amend the existing active reserve to remove the subject property and create a new active reserve containing only the subject property, resen[d] the property from the existing contracts and issue a single contract for the property.
Key items approved on the record included:
- ARCRS LLC: staff recommended including an omitted 0.8‑acre portion so the legal parcel is entirely under contract, bringing the new preserve to 274 acres.
- Miss Mary Grow Rich (application for 960 acres): staff recommended adding a previously omitted 7.5‑acre portion so the entire legal parcel is included in the contract.
- Mentor family / Wayne Smith contract amendment: staff recommended creating a new 380.15‑acre active reserve for the subject property (exemption under section 15317).
- Bobo Catelli / Indian Point Ranch and 1916 West Chris Road LLC: staff recommended creating two new preserves, one of about 160 acres and another of about 249 acres, and issuing separate contracts for each farm.
- Doug Hale / Hailberry: staff recommended adding an omitted 34‑acre portion (a 4% increase) and creating a new 866.54‑acre preserve and single contract for the parcel.
For each agenda item, the clerk reported minimal returned notices and no in‑person proponents or opponents on the record; staff confirmed no rebuttals were presented and the public hearings were closed before motions were made. Board members moved, seconded and voted to approve the staff recommendations for each application; roll‑call votes recorded ayes for supervisors present on each item.
Distinctions: these actions are ministerial land‑use contract amendments and not changes to zoning; each motion adopted a resolution to amend active reserves and issue a single contract for the subject parcel as described in staff recommendations. The record shows corrections to agenda worksheets to include omitted acreage and a procedural confirmation that noticing was sufficient.
Ending: Staff provided copies of the adopted documents to supervisors before adjournment; no appeals or public protests were recorded in the hearing portions included in the transcript.

Haley Wing, planning director, told the board she was \"really not sure\" of a final schedule but confirmed that \"there's still, you know, restoration efforts happening with the timber mobile project. We've been dealing with, Rez, the restoration company,\" and that planning staff had been reviewing restoration-related building permits.
Wing said the county has not broadly used any emergency permitting exemption in this case and that \"in the past, relied on ... section 15317 to allow for, like, the waiving of certain planning and zoning requirements,\" adding that she would double-check whether fees or domestic well permits had been waived for the current work. She reported staff had routed a recent submittal for fire-suppression tanks and a new well through the building department and said planning signed off about two weeks earlier.
Board discussion cited multiple ongoing concerns including a 5–8 year restoration and monitoring window referenced by staff, continued instability on burn scars, the potential for large woody debris to mobilize in future storms and damage bridges or other infrastructure, and public inquiries seeking project updates. One board member emphasized drinking-water risks and the potential for large debris to cause hazard during major water events; those concerns were discussed as reasons to maintain the emergency period while restoration and inspections continue.
A motion to extend the emergency declaration was made, seconded and approved on a roll-call vote. On the record, Supervisor Valenzuela registered a \"no\"; Supervisors Harris, Cobseff and Coogan registered \"aye\"; other supervisors present voted to extend. The motion passed.
Distinction of actions: the vote extended the standing emergency declaration; the record shows discussion and staff direction to continue monitoring and processing restoration-related permits, not adoption of new permanent policy.
Ending: The board asked staff to continue updates to the extent practicable; no new fee-waiver policy or additional funding was approved during the meeting.
","The Board of Supervisors voted to extend an emergency declaration tied to ongoing restoration work.

Jessica Spiller, from General Services, told the board that \"there is the emergency repair not completed a 100%.\" Spiller said the contractor had installed \"a new roof, [and] new fascia boards,\" that \"the office is done,\" and that staff \"went out and did a little inspection, took some pictures.\" She concluded, \"It looks really good. So does not need to extend. That's Your board would terminate the emergency. Okay. We're good to terminate.\"
The board moved and seconded a motion to terminate the emergency declaration and took a roll-call vote to approve termination. The official motion and second are not named on the record; the board indicated approval in roll-call.
Discussion: directors did not raise additional concerns on the public record after the inspection update. The record shows brief comments and confirmations from multiple directors during the roll call before the chair closed that portion of the meeting.
Outcome: the board terminated the emergency declaration for the Monarch Conservation District emergency repair; no further action on that declaration was recorded at the meeting.
Ending: The board then proceeded to routine minutes approvals and other agenda items.
