But he also said there is a responsibility that comes with that. "I don't advocate looking the other way. We do have a responsibility to keep all our businesses safe," he said.
The rate of new cases continued to decline Tuesday, with just 100 new cases reported.
Dr. Bela Matyas, the county public health officer, was concerned the state's reporting may be skewed. He also noted there were three more deaths in the county: two men, two woman – all in their 70s. Both men were in care facilities, bringing the number of deaths in such facilities to 42. The two women were living at home.
One of the four Matyas mentioned Tuesday was reported Monday but without specifics as to age, gender and method of virus transmission.
The total number of deaths is 118.
A primary emphasis in the letter is that the local tracking evidence shows that businesses are not the source of transmission for the novel coronavirus. Solano officials want the state to show the county its evidence that contradicts that or let the county have more decision-makFrom Page One county to look into the discrepancies of why ballots for one district ended up in the hands of voters in other districts, and she claims the problems cross over at least four districts.
Robitaille said she was disappointed that the report given to the board was so narrow.
One of the examples she used at the first meeting was the two people living in the same home received different ballots.
John Gardner, the assistant registrar of voters, explained after the meeting that one of those individuals listed a different address of residence, and used that home address as a mailing address.
But he said he was surprised by the new From Page One the fee waiver to the end of April for a host of costs, including “hazardous materials assessments, inspections of and temporary connections to temporary power poles, and charges by the Assessor/Recorder for copies of grant deeds, quit claims or deeds of reconveyance for properties within the LNU Lightning Complex Fire impacted area.”
Just minutes after the morning session of the board meeting was completed, the Office of Emergency Services issued an evacuation warning to the fire area due to possible flash floods and mudslides from the overnight storm that is forecasted.
Don Ryan, the OES manager, told the Board of Supervisors that if the rains appear to be coming directly this way, then an evacuation order could be issued.
Residents also were reminded that Feb. 1 is the last day to submit a “right of entry form” to allow state contractors to come onto the properties to complete the debris cleanup.
“As of Friday, we have 51 properties that had not submitted an ROE ing authority.
Matyas told the board that Solano County was one of the first counties to begin tracing transmission sources. He said of the 300 disease clusters identified in the county, none shows transmission from a business to its customers.
The local plan would be based on the Roadmap to Recovery developed by the Public Health Division back in May.
At the time, Newsom made comments about counties having a better grip on how to manage the disease locally than a statewide policy could. That quickly changed, and the state has tightened regulations ever since. "It was following (the state's) lead," Matyas said of the Roadmap to Recovery, "but it was based on different risks of transmission."
The higher the risk, the tighter the protocols. But it was based on transmission data.
The general belief is that if businesses enact the proper safety protocols – social distancing, masks, barriers and hygiene steps – only businesses that cater to large crowds, like concert venues, would not be able to be opened.
Matyas reported that 16,400 Solano County residents have received vaccinations from the District 5 information Robitaille raised.
“I don’t have the list of 78 voters she mentioned,” Gardner said.
Robitaille agreed to forward the information to the clerk of the board, who in turn would distribute the material to the ably, the elections office.
Gardner told the board that there were discrepancies found in the District 3 mapping involving seven street segments and 22 voters.
The registrar of voters was made aware of voters in the Nov. 3, 2020, general election who may have received incorrect ballot information related to the Vacaville City Council District 3 boundaries, the staff report to the board states. The registrar of voters reviewed all precincts within the district or a (private contractor) workplan,” Terry Schmidtbauer, interim director of the Department of Resource Management, told the supervisors. There are 108 forms submitted.
He also updated the total number of fireaffected properties to 501, with 128 properties receiving exemptions from debris cleanup.
Schmidtbauer said all but a handful of properties have completed the first phase of the cleanup.
Of the total recovery cost, 75% will be covered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and 18.75% by the state, leaving 6.25% for the county.
As part of those costs, Schmidtbauer reported $730,645 has been spent on hazardous material assessments and removal, $185,013 of which was for the assessments.
Another $89,396 has been spent on processing the right of entry forms, and $456,266 on processing the private workplans.
The county had received 214 workplans from landowners who opted to use a private contractor instead of the public service. Of those submittals, 199 have been approved, and of those, 77 properties have com-

Matyas also noted, however, that the county does not know how many people have received vaccinations from pharmacies that have their own state contracts, nor how many have received vaccines at Travis Air Force Base or in the two Vacaville prisons.

Six people died as a result of the fire, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reports. Two were killed in rural Vacaville. Five people were injured, including one first responder.

The county will ask Kaiser Permanente and Sutter Health to include the public defenders as a law enforcement priority.

All of this also comes with the census redistricting looming.

Hennessey, eight fires that sparked in Napa County and quickly merged into one megafire, also burned across portions of Yolo, Lake and Colusa counties, charring nearly 477.58 square miles (305,651 acres) – 65.625 square miles in Solano County.
The larger fire complex includes two smaller fires in Sonoma County and charred more than 567.53 square miles. The fire burned until Oct. 2. The complex fire is the fifth-largest fire in the state’s modern history, dating back to 1932.
It’s the 11th mostdestructive fire of the modern era and is tied for 11th as the most-deadly fire, Cal Fire reports.
Hennessey by itself would rank seventh on the list of the state’s largest fires.
