Clerk’s notes: Recovery Coordinator Carol Huchingson gave an update to the Board. She announced that the long term recovery task force would be holding it's first meeting tonight. It is a public meeting, with the first portion covering updates from the various agencies involved, and the second portion covering public input and questions. Since they are expecting so many people to show up, the public input would initially focus on survivors, with others to follow as time permits. These meetings will be taking place on a weekly basis. Ms. Huchingson also announced that she is in the process of establishing office hours in Middletown, most likely at the Gibson Museum, and an announcement will be made once the agreement is finalized. She reported that there are approximately 50 families staying at Konocti Harbor as well as some still in tents at the Hidden Valley Lake campground. Ms. Huchingson stated that the County's agreement with the campground ended some time ago but they are still letting people stay there for free. Supervisor Brown stated that he had been in contact with a few of the families from the Hidden Valley campgrounds who do not wish to relocate to Konocti Harbor as this would be an inconvenience for their children who attend school in Middletown. Mr. Brown is exploring other options for them. He stated that Middletown School District has offered to bus the kids from Konocti to Middletown, but even with that option he was unable to convince them. Ms. Huchingson also reported that she has received reports of rental price gouging of rental properties and intends to investigate. Community Development Director Richard Coel clarified that FEMA contractors installing manufactured units are still required to obtain proper permits. He said his department has had property owners showing up trying to get permits. However, FEMA requires that the FEMA contractor who is installing the manufactured unit acquire the permit and then the County will perform a site inspection. These permits are being processed very quickly, usually right at the counter with the inspection being done the next day. Ms. Huchingson reported that the Auditors office is tracking all of the projects being done and so far the cost is around $10 million. She also spoke on donations, saying that the County had a large warehouse full of donations as well as several distribution centers.
