In an untimed item, the board will consider sending a letter to Congressman Mike Thompson regarding a possible resolution in Pacific GAs and Electric’s proposed decommissioning of the Scott Dam.
In a memo to the board, County Administrative Officer Susan Parker wrote, “Your Board has consistently and steadfastly raised concerns over the potential adverse effects of the decommissioning and removal of Scott Dam proposed by PG&E. United States Congressman Mike Thompson recently approached County representatives to assist in furthering discussions related to PG&E's proposed decommissioning plan and has also encouraged County Supervisors and leadership to meet and share areas of priority for mitigation and restoration measures with other interested parties, should decommissioning and dam removal prove inevitable.”
The board will consider a letter to Thompson which, Parker noted, reiterates opposition to the decommissioning and describes “anticipated categories of need, should dam removal occur.”
Parker said the board’s approval of the letter “will assist the County in future communications with Congressman Thompson and other interested parties as it relates to this issue.”
In an item timed for 11 a.m., the board will receive a presentation from the Lake County Health Services Department on the progress and future plans for the implementation of the California Advancing and Innovative Medi-Cal, or Cal-AIM, initiative.
