SIERRA COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

12/24/2022

THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (DEIS) for the North Yuba Forest Partnership (NYFP) scope of work and comments that need to be filed with the US Forest Service by early January 2023 was discussed during the Sierra County Board of Supervisors’ meeting held Tuesday, December 20th in Loyalton. Planning Director Tim Beals explained this document was developed from strong partnership through North Yuba Forest Partnership and the Forest Service and provides a program of work for projects in the North Yuba basin which is primarily in Sierra County. He stated the document is critical for future decisions and future funding sources for project implementation. There were two public meetings held in Camptonville and Downieville. County Forester Danielle Bradfield provided insight on the proposed four alternatives. Alternative 1, is no action and Bradfield stated it leaves Sierra County susceptible. Alternative 2 is 146,000 acres of treatment. Alternative 3 is 107,000 acres of treatment. Alternative 4 is 151,000 acres of treatment. Bradfield stated Alternatives 2 and 4 were very similar. Key difference was 4% additional treatment of 5,000 acres stating 5,000 acres is significant treatment. Alternative 4 has less diameter requirements and was more flexible with less constraints. Bradfield felt Alternative 4 was the best option and would employ 18 more jobs annually. After further discussion, it was agreed upon by consensus that the Board Chair Paul Roen would put together an adhoc committee to vet this issue and bring back a recommendation to the January 3rd meeting.

​A RESOLUTION approving a fee schedule regarding Short-Term Rentals in Sierra County was discussed during the Board of Supervisors’ meeting held Tuesday, December 20th in Loyalton. Public Works Director, Tim Beals called them very reasonable fees with amounts much lower than neighboring counties. An initial permit will cost $345.50. The breakdown is $200 base fee, $65 Building Inspection Fee, $45.50 Environmental Health Fee, and $35 for Public Works. Renewal fees are $183 and violations are $500 maximum. Beals hoped to get a time study done in the first year. The Resolution passed unanimously.
