Reason for Recommended Action/Background

On July 27, 2021, the Board adopted Resolution No. 21-98 proclaiming the existence of a local drought emergency. Drought conditions have persisted since that time and the drought emergency continues despite recent storms. Under Government Code section 8630(b) a local agency must renew the local emergency proclamation at least once every 60 days.  The Board received its most recent drought update at the June 28, 2022 meeting. The Board will receive the next drought update from staff in the form of a presentation at the August 30, 2022, regularly scheduled Board meeting.  The result is 62 days between the June and August updates. Therefore, staff is recommending given the continuing drought conditions that the Board reaffirm the existence of a local drought emergency with a more detailed update to follow on August 30th. 

 

Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies)

Staff have, and will continue to, collaborate with the YCFC&WCD, the YSGA, the Water Resources Association of Yolo County, all in-county water purveyors, peer juristdictions and neighboring juristdictions, the general public, and state and federal agencies.
