Hello I am a resident in the Feather Falls area and have been for 50 years. My husband’s family has
been here for at least 6,000 years, perhaps as long as 10,000 years. We ask little from the
government. I have contacted my Supervisor and the Public Works Department seeking information
about Lumpkin Rd post fire recovery. I have not received an answer from my Supervisor and I was
unable to reach Public Works via telephone; I was constantly disconnected by the automated
answering service. Also I am not able to add this comment to the Public Works Connect online. (I
think because it is not one of the standard issues).
My question to you concerns Lumpkin Road: When will the hazard trees (burned in the North
Complex Fire) be removed? I reviewed the Public Works CIP Staff Report and note that the Lumpkin
Road Disaster Recovery repairs are not funded and are projected at a whopping $16,491,000! (CIF
Report:46) What I want immediately is that the hazard trees are removed adjacent to the Road so
that during high wind events the residents know the road is safe. What do we need to do to get this
part of the Lumpkin Road post North Complex repair completed? Please let our community know.
Also if some of the SB1 (discretionary) funds are available, the significant potholes made by the 14
months of heavy logging traffic would be greatly appreciated. (WE note that Forbestown Road
appears to be the only road that is scheduled for some kind of repair from the North Complex. (CIF
Report:34). The North Complex Fire did not directly affect that road and there are no major
potholes along that road.
Your report reviews the funding challenges. We sympathize yet we would like to know we can get
home should there be a wind event.
Thank You.
