COBB >> Black Rock Golf Course in Cobb is hosting this evening’s Valley Fire Long-Term Recovery Task Force meeting. The task force is comprised of local, state, federal, tribal and non-profit agencies, all working together to manage the recovery of Lake County after the Valley Fire.
The meeting will begin at 6 p.m.
The Lake County Department of Public Works, tasked with keeping County roadways safe, will make a presentation on the Valley Fire Hazardous Tree Removal program.
Under this program the County will take responsibility for removing the hazard trees that threaten County roads, located on private property, at no cost to the owner. The property owner will be required to sign a Right of Entry (ROE). This is an additional and separate ROE from the one that was required to participate in the CalRecycle Debris Removal program.
All trees will be inspected by a certified arborist prior to removal. Only trees that have been identified for removal by a certified arborist will be removed.
For more information about the Lake County Hazardous Tree removal program, including a list of criteria that is used to assess a tree’s health, and to download a blank Lake County Hazardous Tree Removal ROE form, please go to www.LakeCountyRecovers.com and click on the “Trees” button.
