Item number two is a ratification of the proclamation of local emergency reclamation district number

341 significant and uncontrolled levy erosion December 2024.

Supervisor, we have Mary Jo Flynn here to give a brief presentation.

Thank you.

Good morning, Chair Kennedy and members of the board.

I'm Mary Jo Flynn Nevins, your chief of emergency services.

I'm here to request your ratification of the December 19th, 2024 proclamation of emergency

for significant and uncontrolled erosion on Sherman Island and the Delta.

Sherman Island experienced significant storm impacts on December 14th.

A combination of high tides and strong winds caused erosion to the levy on the Sacramento

River side bordering Solano County.

And there's a map here that I have for display.

Reclamation district 341 proclaimed an emergency on December 17th and on December 19th an inspection

of the levy took place with engineers from reclamation district 341, the state and the

state department of water resources for a technical assessment and to determine what

steps were needed to initiate repairs.

Since that time, the office of emergency services has activated the emergency operations

center and brought together partners to assist reclamation district 341.

Our team has also reviewed emergency plans and completed advanced planning to ensure

residents on the island stay informed and are ready to, should there be a need to evacuate

the island.

District engineers have been working throughout this weekend during a lull between the storms

to strengthen critical areas along the levy and prepare for the stronger storm coming

tomorrow, December 24th, that will be followed by another atmospheric river later this week.

And I just have a couple photos for that.

So the top photo shows some of the conditions that existed prior to and some of the work

that has happened over the weekend.

And there's one more that I'll show.

So you can see in the top photo some of the erosion that had occurred and in the bottom

photo some of the rock that has been placed to strengthen that area.

Sacramento OES, reclamation district 341 and PG&E have collaborated to utilize PG&E's

camera assets to help in monitoring wave conditions along the levy during these storms.

So these cameras are pretty interesting.

They are typically used for wildfire threats and notifying wildfire.

This is the first utilization of these camera systems that I'm aware of for this levy issue

and levy monitoring.

So the reclamation district engineers will be able to see the camera footage in real

time and watch the wave action which is what we're concerned about along the levy.

So we just wanted to thank the partners for that collaboration.

I also wanted to thank our partners from Sacramento Metro Fire, American Red Cross, River Delta

School District, Sacramento Sheriff's Office, Solano County Emergency Services and Contra Costa

Emergency Services and all who have helped to review the planning documents and ensure

that we're ready to provide rapid and coordinated notifications should any conditions worsen

along the levy.

Some of our next steps include working with the reclamation district to identify their

resource needs and either utilize the supply caches available in the delta or to ensure

that logistics requests reach the right agencies to assist.

We're working with the National Weather Service, Sacramento Office to receive custom weather

notifications and weather reports for Sherman Island that we are sharing with the district

and partner agencies.

While repairs are actively being made to the levy and engineers feel there is no immediate

cause for alarm from residents or visitors to the island, we want to be sure that we

can rapidly notify anyone should the situation change.

We ask that residents, visitors and those working on the island register for sacramento-alert.org

or text the word levy to 77295.

And with that, that's the end of my presentation.

I'm available.

Should you have any questions?

Okay.

Any questions or comments from the board?

Seeing and hearing none.

Do we have any public comment?

We do not.

Okay.

Is there a motion?

Move.

Second.

Okay.

We're going to take Hume as the motion maker and Frost as the seconder.

Please vote.

Madamist vote with those members present.

All right.

That takes us to county executive comments.

No comments.

Thank you very much for coming in.

Supervisors, I will just say, Mary Jo, thank you very much.

I know this was a lot of work at a time that people want to slow down a little bit.

And you and your staff are much appreciated by the sport.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Okay.

All right.

With that, for the second and final time, I will adjourn this meeting.
