RAC

The RAC met this Morning.  Although the reporter did not attend the whole
conversation, luckily this exchange was heard.

County Supervisor Lee Adams asked why the permanent communities in 

Sierra County such as Downieville, Goodyears Bar and Sierra City were 

not getting the same attention the summer home tracts were. After much 

discussion and a round and round conversation as to which came first 

the community responsibility or the USFS when national lands came 

right up to the edge of the property, Genese Froelich said there was a 

need for a "community wildfire protection plan" and they were working 

on it. Adams said he had brought this up a year ago and he was 

frustrated there has been no action.

RAC committee member, Linda Frost asked who the contact for the plan 

was and after another round of talk about how this community action 

plan was in the works, asked again "but who is the contact person?" 

She was referred to the CalFire website. Jim Johnston came to the 

conclusion that "if he wanted to buy a safe home in Sierra County, it 

should be in a summer home tract".

Rac Committee members ponder as Genese Froelich and Quentin Youngblood 

confer...

The group then moved on to the issue of noxious weed removal projects 

in the Sierra Valley.
