LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Board of Supervisors this week will consider directing staff to draft an agreement with the county’s fire chiefs relating to important fire radio frequencies.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 5, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
The meeting can be watched live on Channel 8 and online at https://countyoflake.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx. Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.
At 9:30 a.m., the board will discuss and consider a staff recommendation for the disposition of “Rednet” radio licenses and authorization to draft an agreement with the Lake County Fire Chiefs Association.
The association has indicated it plans to move to an agreement with Cal Fire fire dispatch services early next year, and wishes to have the use of Rednet.
County Administrative Officer Carol Huchingson’s report to the board for the item explained that the county, Cal Fire, Sheriff Brian Martin, County Counsel Anita Grant, the county’s communications consultants and the association met and reached consensus “to maintain the licenses in the name of the County and to share the frequencies, with the primary user being the fire departments.”
In other business, at 9:15 a.m. the board will consider continuing a proclamation of a local emergency due to the Sulphur fire incident, and get an update and hold a discussion on Sulphur fire recovery.
That will be followed by the board’s consideration of continuing a proclamation of a declaration of a local emergency due to wildfire conditions, pertaining to the Rocky, Jerusalem and Valley fires, along with an update on the Valley Fire Debris Insurance Collection Project.
