0 Comments

 
DURING DEPARTMENT MANAGER’S ANNOUNCEMENTS of the Sierra County Board of Supervisors’ meeting held October 18th in Loyalton, Administrative Director of Behavioral Health, Lea Salas reported Sierra County will be receiving $250,000 to implement CARE Court mandate. Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Court is Governor Newsom’s new plan to get Californians in crisis off the streets and into housing, treatment and care. Salas stated the county doesn’t have to implement the program until December of 2024 but will position them to put people into place.
Acting Public Health Director Rhonda Grandi reported as of this date, Public Health had done 229 flu vaccines; 145 in Loyalton drive through and 84 were done on the west side. There were three remaining clinics and then they will be working people in regularly at the clinic. 155 total bivalent vaccines were administered as of this date. Public Health is alternating weekly booster vaccine clinics on each side of the county. Currently there were no active COVID cases and the State of Emergency is to be lifted by February 28th.
Grandi stated they participated in a Health Information Fair at the Sierra Valley Senior Housing and 23 residents received services. They offered the same event at Downieville Community Hall on October 25th and will be at Loyalton Senior Center on November 2nd.
Planning Director Tim Beals said he was not sure about the status of Liberty Utility’s Rural 28 Program which is to covert overhead utilities to underground service. California PUC was trying to terminate the program because rural counties were not able to produce projects due to insufficient funding amounts. Beals stated they have not been able to get information from Liberty about the west side of the county but PG&E’s last payment toward Sierra County’s underground utility program ends this year.
Beals reported the Loyalton Fire Road Restoration Project funded by FEMA is going well.
Beals reported they were “chasing” a water issue in Sierra Brooks still having small amounts of Coliform (bacteria found in soil, water and vegetation). He stated they have chlorinated the system and waiting to see if it will be resolved when they retest.
