PROCL,AMAT[ON OF EXISTENCE OF A LOCAL EMERGENCY
(by Chief Administrative Officer)
WHEREAS, Section 8-5 (i) of the Butte County Code empowers the Chief
Administrative Officer of the County of Butte, in the absence of the Board Chair and
Vice Chair, to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a local emergency when
said County is affected or likely to be affected by a local emergency and the Board of
Supervisors is not in session; and
WHEREAS, the Chien Administrative Officer of the County of Butte does hereby
find:
That conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property have arisen
within said County, in that commencing on or about 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 8, 2002,
a tividespread wind driven fire resulted in the evacuation of populations in the Williams
Road area near Butte College. The Red Cross has opened shelters to accommc~~date
displaced individuals. These tires have caused, and it is anticipated will continue to
cause, wholesale destruction of homes, outbuildings, businesses and local watersheds.
That the afr~resaid conditions of extreme peril warrant and necessitate the
proclamation of the existence of a local emergency: and
That the Board of Supervisors is not in session (and cannot immediately be called into
Session).
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY PROCLAIMED that a local emergency exists
throughout said County; and
fT IS FURTHER PROC[AIMED AND ORDERED that during the existence of said
local emergency the powers, functions and duties of the emergency organization of this
County shall be those prescribed by state law, by charter, ordinances, and resolutions of
