Board adds emergency resolution for Lake Siskiyou general store repairs to flood district agenda

On May 6, 2025, the Board of Supervisors, meeting in its capacity as the Siskiyou County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, voted to add an off‑agenda urgency item: a resolution declaring an emergency under Public Contract Code section 22050(b) and delegating authority to the district executive director to enter into emergency public-works contracts to repair the roof and main office of the general store at Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort, located at 4239 West A. Long Road.

Staff told the board the repairs cannot await the next regular meeting (May 20, 2025) and requested the item be added under the Government Code urgency provision cited in the staff report. The board moved, seconded, and then—acting as the flood district board of directors—approved adding the item by the required supermajority. Directors present voted aye by roll call.

County staff said the requested resolution would delegate contracting authority to the district executive director for emergency repairs so that necessary work may proceed before the next regular meeting. The staff report identifies Public Contract Code section 22050(b) as the legal authority for emergency public-works contracting.

The board’s action at the May 6 meeting was limited to adding the item to the flood district agenda as an urgency matter; the transcript records that the resolution itself was placed on the flood district agenda for immediate consideration. The transcript does not include the subsequent vote on the resolution's substance at this meeting; staff will return with contract details and recommended authorization if the board proceeds with the emergency contract.
