Executive Summary:
This item is requesting the use of up to $75,000 from contingencies to reimburse Transportation and Public Works, Permit Sonoma and the Community Development Commission for costs associated with debris boxes, sandbags, damage assessment permit fee waivers, and sheltering.
Discussion:
An Atmospheric River moved through Sonoma County on February 13 - 15, which caused the Russian River to reach the flood stage of 32 feet at 1:00 P.M. on Thursday, February 14, 2019. The river crested at 36 feet at approximately 1:00 A.M. on February 15, 2019. While an emergency was not declared, the County response required services such as sheltering from evacuations, staging of sandbags, as well debris clean up and damage assessments.
An advisory evacuation for areas that are inundated at 36 feet was issued. At 36 feet the River flooding may impact 706 total parcels and some people who are experiencing homelessness.
Transportation and Public Works and Recology, the county’s Solid Waste Collection Franchise operator, are coordinating debris collection for the impacted area. Debris collections event information is attached.
