CEDARVILLE RACES THIS SATURDAY
The Modoc County
Multiple Power Outages Cause Frustration Community Wide
Multiple power outages affected the Alturas area last week, one of which had more than 2,200 customers without power throughout the county, according to Pacific Power’s outage map on Friday morning. Fortunately the outages only lasted a couple of hours, but both caused some real frustration throughout the community. Some expressed concern because of comfort with the high temperatures, and others had major concern for the elderly and/or those who require access to electricity for 24/7 medical supplies or equipment.
When power goes down, anywhere in the county, the company responsible for the lines/equipment is notified and crews are dispatched to find where the outage occurred and what the cause was before any damage can be repaired and power turned back on.
Considering how many lines there are in our area alone, this in itself
can take hours. Once the problem is found and assessed, the crews work to get power back on as quickly, and as safely as they can.
Power outages, especially in the summer and early fall months, seem to be a more frequent occurrence as years go on. They can happen for many reasons, and at this time the cause of last week’s outages are unknown. According to Surprise Valley Electric, it was not an outage on their part or issue with their systems. Their main objective was rerouting power quickly to get service back up and running for their customers. We were unable to receive a comment from Pacific Power on the situation. Being prepared for a planned or unplanned power outage involves a few essential steps to ensure safety and comfort. First, stock up on non-perishable foods and bottled water, as refrigeration will most likely not be available.
Keep a battery-powered or hand-crank radio to stay informed about weather updates and emergency information if you’re in an area without cellphone service. Have backup power sources
on hand, like portable chargers, solar chargers and power banks to charge your electronic devices. Utilize solarpowered or batteryoperated fans and lights to help manage heat
and maintain visibility at night. Create an emergency kit that includes first aid supplies, necessary medications, and important documents. Additionally, make sure to plan for the needs of pets and those with medical conditions that require electricity. Staying proactive and organized will help to navigate the challenges of a summer power outage more effectively.
High Awareness Weekend for U.S. Forest Service in Modoc
Red flag warnings and scattered thunderstorms prompted a temporary increase in staff and resources in the Modoc National Forests over this past weekend.
Multiple agencies from all over the country were brought in to assist the U.S. Forest Service in preparation for the less than ideal weather conditions. Crews that have been brought in are sent to both the West
zone, which includes Big Valley and Double Head Ranger Districts and the East zone, which includes Warner Mountain and Devils Garden Ranger Districts. From there the crews, engines and equipment are assigned to different areas within the Modoc National Forests, depending on conditions and needs. The many crews were strategically placed throughout the forests to
facilitate rapid response should any incidents occur. As expected, the thunderstorms from the weekend produced numerous lightning strikes in the northern part of the state, resulting in two fires in the Modoc National Forests. The Kellogg fire, located on the Devils Garden Ranger District, was reported at a tenth of an acre in total. Fire crews responded quickly,
allowing them to gain control of the incident, keeping it small.
The Halls Fire, in the Halls Meadow area in the Big Valley Ranger District, was reported at 8:11 PM Sunday. As of 5 o’clock Monday evening the fire was reported at 12 acres with 90 percent containment, after crews spent the day working on constructing containment lines to halt any progression.
Fortunately, no structures were threatened by these fires, and none were reported to be involved or damaged. Personnel numbers can differ in situations like these because various engines, hand crews, and equipment have different personnel counts. However, numerous agencies were willing and able to respond within Modoc
to prevent the fire from starting, the less work is needed.”
National Forests, likely preventing the two fires that did ignite from growing any larger. When speaking with Suzanna Johnson, the U.S. Forest Service Modoc’s Public Affairs Specialist, she reminds the public in the midst of this year’s fire season to “Be vigilant, and be fire safe. The more you do

2024 Tribal Stewards Participants Get to Work in Eastern Oregon
Hands-on natural resources and restoration education program serving intertribal young adults
By: Allayana Martinez-Darrow
Oregon Natural Desert Association (ONDA) and Lomakatsi Restoration Project are pleased to announce the launch of the 2024 Tribal Stewards program, which brings together a nine-member inter-tribal crew to work on ecological restoration projects in Oregon’s high desert. Serving members of the Burns Paiute Tribe, Klamath Tribes, Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of Duck Valley Indian Reservation, and Pit River Tribe, the Tribal Stewards program is providing valuable natural resource field experience to support the growing restoration workforce in eastern Oregon.
In the program’s first week, the Tribal Stewards completed streamside planting and watershed restoration projects on the Malheur National Forest, including planting more than 500 native willows along stream banks to improve bull trout habitat in the Upper Malheur River watershed.
“Our goal with the Tribal Stewards program is to provide paid opportunities for the next generation of leaders in natural resources stewardship to gain hands-on experience while completing meaningful ecological restoration projects,” said ONDA Stewardship Program Director Gena GoodmanCampbell. “These young people also bring valuable Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge to this work that contributes to restoring thriving ecosystems for generations to come.”
The six-week Tribal Stewards program focuses on ecological restoration projects on the Malheur National Forest, Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, and John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, which fall within the ancestral homelands of the northern Paiute.
“I am extremely excited to see this opportunity
for youth to work on our ancestral lands,” said Tracy Kennedy, Chair of the Burns Paiute Tribe. “This is a great partnership and program that serves our youth, who represent more than half of our current membership, and paves the way for future projects that we can co-manage with our federal, state and local partners.”
Joining Lomakatsi’s Tribal Youth Ecological Stewardship Training Program with ONDA’s Tribal Stewards, the program provides positive work experience and teamwork development for tribal young adults to build professional skills, a sense of responsibility, long-term community service ethic, and a foundation toward future employment in natural resource stewardship.
Participants are paid $20/hour for their work-training, which includes working closely with local elders and other Tribal leaders, professional staff from
ONDA, Lomakatsi, and agency partners. “We’re excited to help kickstart a young, stewardshipfocused workforce in the Burns area, expanding our capacity to accomplish restoration projects and provide education and workforce training in an outdoor classroom,” said George Swartzlender, Lomakatsi Tribal Initiatives Project Manager and Harney County resident. “Getting back in touch with traditional lifeways and putting hands on the land has a lasting impact on the health and resilience of our communities.”
“We are glad to be invited by Oregon Natural Desert Association and the Burns Paiute Tribe as a partner in implementing this year’s Tribal Stewards program,” said Lomakatsi Tribal Partnerships Director Belinda Brown. “It is inspiring to see the next generation of leaders developing skills and pursuing natural resource careers, and we look forward to the
future successes of our partnership and the youth through this program and beyond.”
The 2024 Tribal Stewards program was made possible by the generous support of many partners, including the National Forest Foundation, Friends of Malheur Refuge, Hugh and Jane Ferguson Foundation, and National Park Service. Oregon Natural Desert Association connects people to the spectacular desert lands, waters and wildlife of central and eastern Oregon and champions the conservation and stewardship of this ecologically vital region.

Lomakatsi Restoration Project is a nonprofit, grassroots organization that develops and implements forest and watershed restoration initiatives, programs and projects throughout Oregon and northern California. Learn more at Lomakatsi.org.

Obituary
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Frank Arreche, a man of extraordinary resilience, wisdom, and wit. Born on August 23, 1921 to Jennie and John Arreche in Eagleville, CA, Frank departed on June 24,2024. Frank, a proud graduate of Surprise Valley High School, Cedarville, CA in 1938, was a man of simplicity and hard work. He attended Cal-Poly Tech Institute for six months studying Engineering, before returning home to help his brother on the ranch due to financial constraints. His inventiveness and ability to develop new ways of bringing in the crop stand as a testament to his creativity and resourcefulness.
In 1950, Frank married the love of his life, Janice Arreche. Together they successfully co-owned and managed the Arreche Ranch (founded in 1955) and raised a beautiful family.
Frank’s creative skills resulted in many inventions that were used all over Surprise Valley to help with resourceful ways to help with labor intensive issues related to hay management. He also worked to supplement the ranch’s income working for the Surprise Valley Conservation District supplying heavy
equipment when needed to farmers all over the valley. Frank was not one to take vacations though he and Janice had a delightful time at Branson, Missouri, a 60th anniversary gift from their children and grandchildren. For the most part, his dedication to making sure the ranch ran successfully and finishing tasks on hand led him to skip any vacation indulgences or time away from home. His favorite exercise was hard work, which he did tirelessly until he fell in bed at night. This discipline and dedication were seen in his commitment to keeping the ranch going, a cause he cared for dearly.
A self-proclaimed steak and potatoes guy, he loved the simplicity of a good whiskey and 7-up. His favorite pastime was watching boxing matches on TV and his favorite performances to watch were on the Lawrence Welk show.
His favorite color was blue, reflecting the resolute tranquility of his heart. His personality was best described as witty, always ready with a statement to make you laugh even in the face of adversity.
His legacy of hard work and perseverance will continue to inspire future generations. He, along with his wife, made a living out of dirt and asked nothing from anyone, earning his legacy with his own two hands. Make no mistake, Frank was always available to help anyone in need.
Frank instilled in his children and grandchildren the importance of hard work and doing a job right the first time. Frank is survived by his son, Louis Arreche, daughter, Peggie Black,
granddaughters Kate Black, Jeanette Reagan, Kimberly Welander, and Sara Meilandt and grandsons, Christopher Black and Jon Arreche. He also leaves behind 8 great grandchildren and many, many other young men and women that he mentored on the ranch.
Frank will forever be remembered as a man of commitment, resilience, and humor. His memory will always have a special place in our hearts. Rest in peace, Frank To celebrate the life of Frank and Janice Arreche, a gathering will be held on July 27, 2024, at 12:00 PM at the Bull Sale Barn @ Modoc Fairgrounds, Cedarville, California.

Sheri is survived by her husband of 39 years, Brian Harden; Grandchildren; Zoey McDaniel, Patrick McDaniel, Autumn Harden, Sophie Harden, Madilyn Lehnherr, Ava Gordon, Daughter, Jessica Harden, brother Vince Bennett, Sister, Staci Alber, nephew Ricky Scott, Niece Leslie Scott, Aunt Dixie (Lamb) Perkinson, and many great nephews and cousins.
Shirley WarrenCardoza, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt passed away peacefully on July 4, 2024 at a young 86 years old, in Albuquerque NM after living in Los Lunas NM for the past 16 years. Shirley will always be remembered for her warmth, generosity, strength and sharp intuition. She dedicated her life to her family as well as continuous learning and teaching. If Shirley didn’t know how to do something, she researched it thoroughly. Shirley was a great listener, a skill that was honed by her vocation as a cosmetologist.
Born in Pasadena, CA in May 1938 to Ira and Ruth Bridgeman, she spent most of her growing years in Cedarville CA, with her sisters Jo Gottschalk and the late Gloria Lamb, and her brother, the late Dan Bridgeman. Previously married to Gerald Warren, they had two daughters: the late Debra Lee Warren of Sparks NV and Rena (Warren) Gainey of Eldridge IA.
As a young mother, she was a stay-at-home mom who was active in her children’s activities. She was always someone her kids could go to for advice, love and comfort.
Rena shares: “Many times when checking in, Mom’s immediate response was ‘What’s wrong?’ She had that uncanny way of knowing your spirit even before forming the words.”
In grieving, the family uncovered a written living will, penned by Shirley in 1972: “Death is as much a reality as birth, growth, maturity and old age— it is the one certainty.”
She was always a realist; many of her loved ones have favorite sayings she shared about life. Moving to Sparks, NV, she became a gifted stylist and astute business owner of Hair Mania II. Many will fondly remember Shirley as a great listener and a spirited mentor. An avid reader, she also became a self-taught artist in acrylic art, painting several treasures she leaves behind for family and friends.
She married Leroy Cardoza in December
2004. They were blessed with nearly 20 years together, enjoying their love of family, friends, and travel. Lee had his pilot’s license and plane, and they enjoyed the freedom flying gave them together. They enjoyed hitting the road in their RV, traveling throughout New Mexico and other states. Their RV became their second home. She is survived by her loving husband, Leroy, Los Lunas, NM, daughter Rena (Neil) Gainey, Eldridge IA, and sister Jo (Archie) Gottschalk, Eagle River AK, and her beloved dogs, Coco and Sonny. In addition, she was a great role model for the following extended family:
• Granddaughter Terra (Mat) Huyten, Dewitt IA, and great-grandchildren Emma and Zachary.
• Step-grandchildren Bri Zobrist Henke, Salt Lake City UT and Zachary Zobrist, Blue Grass IA. With each extended family member, she welcomed spouses and kids into the family.
• Gloria’s children: Vicki Libro, Carl Nay, Lonnie Lamb, Deanna Brown and the late Roxane Lamb. She loved them dearly and each shared a special bond with her and they each have wonderful memories growing up alongside her.
• Dan’s children: Katy Vedvick, Toby Bridgeman and Jack Warwick. She is also survived by her longtime friend and business partner, Jennie Frye Christensen (Dale) of Tucson AZ. The two were inseparable in business and life, traveling and camping together with spouses in tow.
She was preceded in death by her daughter Debbie Warren, parents Ira and Ruth Bridgeman, brother Dan Bridgeman, sister Gloria Lamb, and niece Roxane Lamb.
This was a common consensus and tribute from those who knew Shirley: we will miss you immensely. You were our “go to” when life got hard, and you provided sanity in this crazy world. You always kept it real, a straight shooter getting your point across without judgment. You’ve provided sound advice to so many and made sure we made decisions only after
thinking it through. You never stopped fighting for what’s right...even to the end. Private services for family and friends will be held at a later date in Eagleville CA.
George was born July 9, 1934 to Charles and Dorothy Wistos in Alturas, California. He passed away June 27, 2024 in Klamath Fall, Oregon. He was the first born.
At a young age the family moved to Standish where they ranched/ farmed. George helped with chores at home and was involved in FFA until he graduated from Lassen High School. By then his brother and 2 Sisters were old enough to fill the gap.
George went to work for Bank of America as a teller servicing the safe deposit customers. Eventually, he was promoted to line teller. However, they could not keep him busy enough and he was promoted to utility and he traveled throughout Northern California filling in where necessary. It seemed that every time he came home with his laundry, he had hit another deer. Eventually, he met and married Linda Crow in Chico, California. It was said that they moved 24 times in the first two years of marriage. At some point, they moved to Manteca, California with Bank of America. George continued his banking career with Central Bank, started a new bank in Susanville, and retired from. Bank of the West in Woodland, California. Along the way they raised their children Suzanne and Michael. They purchased “Brown’s Corner” and George started a new career of Hunting/ fishing supplies, gas service station and liquid refreshments; they eventually moved the store to the new mall in Woodland and changed the name to The Belligerent Duck. (A most fitting name). George worked it almost daily and Linda worked when she could. Eventually, sometime in the late 90’s, when his parents moved back to Alturas, they moved the store back to George’s roots and continued doing business
until Linda became ill and they had to close their successful business and they both retired. George was an avid hunter, fisherman, and lover of the outdoors. He, with friends, could be found doing what he loved most - hunting in Colorado, Arizona, Nebraska or wherever someone found a “great place” or fishing in the local streams or lakes. George was preceded in death by his parents, his daughter, Suzanne, and his wife Linda.

Strong Family Health Center hosts 2024 “Voices of the River”
Strong Family Health Center hosted the 2024 “Voices of the River” Native Youth Summit. The theme for this year’s summit was “Culture is Prevention”. The event was held at Strong Family Health Center where the youth camped in the backyard of the youth center. The workshops were presented throughout three days and consisted of a variety of different cultural activities and talking
points. The workshops included sessions entitled; “Traditional Roots”- a workshop that taught about local medicinal and edible plants, “Beargrass Braiding”, “Hand Games” “Medicine Bag Making”, “Adulting 101”- a workshop on life skills and important information for young adults, “Mini Moccasin Making”, Raw Hide Jewelry Making, “Inhaling Danger”- a workshop
about the dangers of vaping, “Chilax”- a workshop on meditation, “Communication Through Generations”- a workshop where youth took part in the Ribbon Ceremony and had conversations with a panel of adults about life choices, “Communication and Technology”- a workshop on healthy ways to communicate and using technology in moderation, and a presentation on “Pheasants”- where youth
watched how to kill and process the birds for cooking. We are greatful for all of our community partners and collaborators who traveled from as far south as Oakland and Point Arena California and who where from as nearby as our neighboring partners here in Alturas. We also appreciate all of those who donated toward our event! Thank you all for supporting our youth!

The Modoc National Forest is expanding its fire staff in anticipation of critical fire weather expected over the weekend and into next week. The U.S. Forest Service has brought in additional engines, crews, and equipment to assist with fire suppression efforts, strategically positioning them across the forest for rapid response. A red flag warning has been issued for Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday afternoons and evenings. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are forecasted, potentially producing abundant lightning on dry fuels, which could ignite new wildfires. The public is urged to remain vigilant to prevent human-caused fires, as these can divert resources from responding to lightning-caused fires.
The U.S. Forest ServiceModoc National Forest
Service informed the community that from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, parts of Modoc, Klamath, Lake, and Eastern Siskiyou counties will be under a red flag warning. This includes areas around Lakeview, Bly, and Lava Beds National Monument.
The warning is based on a combination of strong, gusty winds and low relative humidity.
Additionally, a fire
weather watch is in effect for Saturday and Sunday afternoons and evenings for Klamath, Lake, Modoc, and Eastern Siskiyou counties due to expected abundant lightning on dry fuels.
Residents are advised to stay alert and take precautions to prevent fires during this period of heightened risk.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS:
If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

15.06.010 Authority.
This Chapter is adopted in accordance with the provisions of Health and Safety Code Section 17958.2.
15.06.020 Purpose.
The purpose of this Chapter is to provide minimum requirements for the protection of life, limb, health, property, safety, and welfare of the general public and the owners and occupants of limited density rural dwellings and appurtenant structures.
15.06.030 Intent and Application.
The provisions of this Chapter shall apply to the construction, enlargement, conversion, alteration, repair, use, maintenance, and occupancy of limited density owner-built rural dwellings and appurtenant structures. It is the intent of this Chapter that the requirements contained herein shall apply to seasonally or permanently occupied dwellings, hunting shelters, guest cottages, vacation homes, recreational shelters, and detached bedrooms located in rural areas.
15.06.040 Definition of Owner-Built.
A. “Owner-Built” shall mean constructed by any person or family who acts as the general contractor for or the provider of, part or all of the labor necessary to build housing to be occupied as the principal residence of that person or family, and not intended for sale, lease, or rent or employee occupancy.
B. For the purposes of this article, the sale, lease, renting, or employee occupancy of owner-built structures within one (1) year of the issuance of a certificate of occupancy shall be presumptive evidence that the structure was erected for the purpose of sale, lease, or renting.
C. “Owner-Built” shall also mean constructed by a licensed contractor for occupancy by the person or persons owning the property at the time construction is commenced.
15.06.050 Abatement of Substandard Buildings.
All structures or portions thereof which are determined by the enforcing agency to constitute a substandard building shall be declared to be a public nuisance and shall be abated by repair, rehabilitation, or removal in accordance with Health and Safety Code Sections 17980 through 17995. In cases of extreme hardship to owner-occupants of the dwellings, the appropriate local body should provide for deferral of the effective date of orders of abatement.
15.06.060 Recorded Notice.
Each time a permit is issued pursuant to this Chapter, the Building Department shall record with the County Recorder a Notarized notice that a permit has been issued pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter. The notice shall state:
I , declare that all required inspections prior to final will take place. I hereby declare that all work conducted at site address: , will be in compliance with the provisions of Modoc County Code Title 15 Chapter 15- 4 (Regulations for Limited Density Rural Dwellings) which allows for deviations from the requirements of California Building Standards Code. I understand that the construction plans and improvements will not be reviewed or inspected to address structural resistance to the lateral forces produced by wind and earthquakes. I further understand that the construction plans and improvements will not be reviewed or inspected to address structural resistance to snow load or frost heave on foundations.
15.06.070 Violations.
The critical concern in the promulgation of this Chapter is to provide for health and safety while maintaining respect for the law and voluntary compliance with the provisions of this Chapter, and therefore, in the event that an order to correct a substandard condition is ignored, it is the intent of this section that civil abatement procedures should be the first remedy pursued by the enforcement agency.
15.06.080 Permits. Permits shall be required for the construction of rural dwellings and appurtenant structures.
15.06.090 Permit Issuance and Fees.
The application, plans, and other data filed by an applicant for a permit shall be reviewed by

15.06.100 Permit Application Submittal.
To obtain a permit, the applicant shall first file an application therefore with the designated enforcement agency. Permit applications shall contain the following information:
1.) Name and mailing address of the applicant;
2.) Address and location of the proposed structures;
3.) A general description of the structure(s) which shall include mechanical installations with all clearances and venting procedures detailed, electrical installations, foundation, structural, and construction details;
4.) A site plot plan indicating the location of the dwelling in relation to property lines, other structures, sanitation and bathing facilities, water resources, and waterways;

7.) The use or occupancy for which the work is intended;

15.06.110 Plans.
Plans shall consist of a general description of the structure(s), including all necessary information to facilitate a reasonable judgment of conformance by the enforcing agency. This may include a simplified diagram of the floor plan and site elevation in order to determine the appropriate dimensions of structural members. Architectural drawings and structural analyses shall not be required except for structures of complex design or unusual conditions for which the enforcement agency cannot make a reasonable judgment of conformance to this Chapter based upon the general description and simplified plan(s).
15.06.120 Waiver of Plans.
The enforcement agency may waive the submission of any plans if the agency finds that the nature of the work applied for is such that the reviewing of plans is not necessary to obtain compliance with this Chapter.
15.06.130 Modifications. Modifications to the design, materials, and methods of construction are permitted, provided that the structural integrity of the building or structure is maintained, the building continues to conform to the provisions of this Chapter, and the enforcement agency is notified in writing of the intended modification.

Permits shall be valid for a period of three (3) years. The building official is authorized to grant extensions of time pursuant to the same standards as for extensions of a building permit pursuant to Chapter 15.01 - Construction Codes, Administration.

1.) Foundation (prior to placing concrete).
2.) Rough in or 4-Way (prior to closing walls, in order to inspect electrical, mechanical, plumbing and framing).
3.) Final inspection (after the structure(s) is completed and ready for occupancy, in order to determine compliance with the provisions of this
Chapter).
15.06.170 Special Inspections.
Additional inspections may be conducted under the following circumstances:
An inspection may be conducted where there is a reasonable expectation that the footing will be subjected to serious vertical or lateral movement due to unstable soil conditions. If soil conditions constitute a potential structural problem, the foundation and structure shall have engineering provided by a California licensed civil or structural engineer. Additionally, inspections may be conducted where the application indicates that interior wall coverings or construction elements will conceal underlying construction, electrical or mechanical systems; or where an unconventional construction method is indicated which would preclude examination at a single inspection.
15.06.180 Inspection Waivers.
Inspections may be waived by the enforcement agency for structures which do not contain electrical or mechanical installations or for alterations, additions, modifications, or repairs that do not involve electrical or mechanical installations; or where the applicant stipulates in writing that the work has been conducted in compliance with the permit application and the provisions of this chapter.
15.06.190 Inspection Requests and Notice.
It shall be the duty of the applicant to notify the enforcement agency that the construction is ready for inspection and to provide access to the premises.

After the structure(s) is completed for occupancy and all inspections which have been required by the enforcing agency have been conducted, and work approved, the enforcement agency shall issue a Certificate of Occupancy for such dwelling(s) and appurtenant structure(s) which comply with the provisions of this Chapter.
15.06.210 Temporary Occupancy.
The use and occupancy of a portion or portions of a dwelling prior to the completion of the entire structure shall be allowed except for farm labor housing, provided that approved sanitation facilities are available at the site and that the completed work does not create a condition that endangers the life or health of the occupants or public. The occupants of any uncompleted structure shall assume responsibility for the occupancy of the structure or any portion thereof.
15.06.220 Fees
Any person submitting an application for a permit to construct under this Chapter shall pay appropriate fees as set forth in Section 20 of Title 25, Part 1, Chapter 1, Subchapter 2, California Administrative Code. Inspection fees shall be established by resolution of the Board of Supervisors to reflect the actual inspection and administrative costs resulting from the administration of this Chapter.
15.06.230 Detached Bedroom.

For the purposes of this chapter only, “rural” shall mean those unincorporated areas of the County designated and zoned for one (1) acre minimums or larger acre minimums. In addition, for a legal parcel to qualify as “rural,” the parcel shall be no less than one (1) acre in size. An exception may be granted by the building official for the residential development of parcels located in the unincorporated areas of the county that are zoned for less than one acre in size and/or are less than one acre in size with the following criteria:
1.) The parcel is served by public water and sewer; or written approval from the Department of Environmental Health that a lesser size is adequate to accommodate a proposed water system and sewage disposal system.
2.) Residential construction shall comply with the provisions of the 2007 California Building Code.
15.06.270 Sound Structural Condition.
A structure shall be considered to be in sound structural condition when it is constructed and maintained in substantial conformance with accepted construction principles, technical codes, or performance criteria which provide minimum standards for the stressing of structural members; footing sizes when related to major load-bearing points; proper support of load-bearing members; nailing schedules where essential to general structural integrity; and provisions for adequate egress, ventilation, sanitation, and fire safety. Conditions which would not render a structure unsound are the minor deflections or elasticity of structural members, ceiling heights; size or arrangement of rooms; heating, plumbing, and electrification requirements; alternative materials, appliances or facilities; or methods of construction.
15.06.280 Substandard Building.
A substandard building is a structure or portion thereof in which there exists any condition to an extent that endangers the life, limb, health, or safety of the occupants. Except as amended by the provisions of this chapter, the California Building Code, Part 2, Title 24, California Code of Regulations, shall be the determining criteria for compliance with the standards of this Chapter and the defining of a substandard building.
15.06.290 General Requirements.
Each structure shall be constructed and maintained in a sound structural condition to be safe, sanitary, and to shelter the occupants from the elements.
15.06.300 Intent of General Requirements.
It shall be the purpose and intent of this Chapter to permit the use of ingenuity and preferences of the builder, and to allow and facilitate the use of alternatives to the specifications prescribed by the uniform technical codes to the extent that a reasonable degree of health and safety is provided by such alternatives, and that the materials, methods of construction, and structural integrity of the structure shall perform in application for the purpose intended. To provide for the application of this Chapter, it shall be necessary for the enforcement agency to exercise reasonable judgment in determining the compliance of appropriate structures with the general and specific requirements of this chapter.
15.06.310 Technical Codes to be a Basis of Approval.
Except as otherwise required by this chapter, dwellings and appurtenant structures constructed pursuant to this part need not conform with the construction requirements prescribed by the editions of the codes that make up the California Building Standards Code, Title 24, California Code of Regulations, or other applicable technical codes; however, it is not the intent of this section to disregard nationally accepted technical and scientific principles relating to design, materials, methods of construction, and structural requirements for the erection and construction of dwelling and appurtenant structures as are contained in the uniform technical codes. Such codes shall be a basis for approval.
Notwithstanding the previous paragraph and any section of this Chapter to the contrary, if application is made for a permit pursuant to this Chapter for a building constructed prior to the application date without any building permits, the building may be reviewed pursuant to the building codes (as the basis for approval) applicable at the time of the construction of the building, if the applicant is able to substantiate the date of construction to the satisfaction of the Department of Planning and Building Services.
15.06.320 Structural Requirements.
Buildings or structures constructed pursuant to this chapter may be of any type of construction which will provide for a sound structural condition. It is recommended that the roof and wall framing for habitable structures is designed to withstand the applicable snow load in the area. Structural hazards which result in an unsound condition and which may constitute a substandard building are delineated by section 17920.3 of the Health and Safety Code.
15.06.330 Foundations.
Foundations for habitable structures shall be in compliance with Chapter 18 of the 2007 California Building Code. It is recommended that foundations for habitable structures are designed for frost heave. Foundations for non-habitable appurtenant structures may be: pier foundations, stone masonry footings, and foundations, pressure-treated lumber, poles, or equivalent foundation materials or designs may be used, provided that the bearing is sufficient for the purpose intended.
15.06.340 Materials.
Owner-produced or used materials and appliances may be utilized unless found not to be of sufficient strength or durability to perform the intended function; ownerproduced or used lumber or shakes and shingles may be utilized unless found to contain dry rot, excessive splitting, or other defects obviously rendering the material unfit in strength or durability for the intended purpose.
15.06.350 Fire Safety Requirements.
All new dwellings shall comply with the “Materials and Construction Methods for Exterior Wildfire Exposure” requirements found in Chapter 7A of the California Building Code and/or Section 337 in the California Residential Code or with such other successor chapters of the latest adopted version of the California Building
Code or California Residential Code. All new dwellings shall comply with the defensible space requirements of California Public Resources Code sec. 4290. For purposes of this chapter, residential fire sprinklers shall not be required in limited density rural dwellings.

Fireplaces, heating and cooking appliances, and gas piping installed in buildings constructed pursuant to this chapter shall be installed and vented in accordance with the requirements of the current applicable code of the California Building Standards Code, Title 24, California Code of Regulations. Alternate materials and methods of venting shall be permitted if substantially equivalent in safety and durability.
15.06.380 Heating Capacity.
A heating facility or appliance shall be installed in each dwelling subject to the provisions of this chapter, however, there shall be no specified requirement for heating capacity or temperature maintenance. The use of solid fuel or solar heating devices shall be deemed as complying with the requirements of this section. If non-renewable fuel is used in these dwellings, rooms so heated shall meet current insulation standards.
15.06.390 Electrical Requirements.
No dwelling or appurtenant structure constructed pursuant to this chapter shall be required to be connected to a commercial source of electrical power. Generators or photovoltaic systems are acceptable alternatives.
15.06.400 Electrical Installation Requirements. Where electrical wiring or appliances are installed, the installation shall be in accordance with the applicable requirements contained in the California Electrical Code, Part 3, Title 24, California Code of Regulations for single-family dwellings.
Exceptions to Electrical Installation Requirements. In structures where electrical usage is confined to one (1) or more rooms of a structure, the remainder of the structure shall not be required to be wired or otherwise fitted for electrification unless the enforcement agency determines that electrical demands are expected to exceed the confinement and capacity of that room(s). In such instances, the enforcement agency may require further electrification of the structure. It is the intent of this subsection to apply to buildings in which there exists a workshop, kitchen, or other single room which may require electrification, and where there is no expectation of further electrical demand. The enforcement agency shall, at the time of a permit application or other appropriate point, advise the applicant of the potential hazards of violating this section.
15.06.410 Photovoltaic System Requirements. The installation of photovoltaic systems shall be in accordance with the applicable requirements contained in the California Electrical Code, Part 3, Title 24, California Code of Regulations. For the purposes of this chapter, photovoltaic systems are not mandatory for new residential construction.
15.06.420 Room Requirements.
There shall be no requirements for room dimensions provided that there is adequate light and ventilation and adequate means of egress. In single-family dwellings not exceeding two stories in height where, due to the location or to the surrounding terrain, emergency rescue from the exterior is not feasible, egress windows from sleeping spaces may be omitted when an additional doorway or an approved exit escape hatch is provided for egress from such rooms. The doorways provided shall open directly to the exterior of the building or shall open onto corridors or passageways which lead to individual exterior exits. The corridors or passageways provided shall not cross nor shall they follow the same route in whole or in part to the building exterior. Approved exit escape hatches shall be installed in accordance with the terms of their approval.
15.06.430 Sanitation Requirements. Sanitation facilities, including the type, design, and number of facilities, as required and approved by the Department of Environmental Health, shall be provided to the dwelling sites.
15.06.440 Plumbing Specifications.
Where conventional plumbing, in all or in part, is installed within the structure, it shall be installed in accordance with the California Plumbing Code, Part 5, Title 24, California Code of Regulations. Alternative materials and methods shall be permitted provided that the design complies with the intent of the Code and that such alternatives shall be performed to protect health and safety for the intended purpose.
15.06.450 Sanitation Facilities.
Greywater systems shall be designed according to water availability, use, and discharge and must be approved by the Department of Environmental Health. The design, use, and maintenance standards of such systems shall be the prerogative of the local health official and shall comply with the requirements of the Modoc County Code. A bathtub or shower and a lavatory shall be provided to the dwelling site.
15.06.460 Water Supply.
Potable water shall be available to the dwelling site either by a permitted well or a developed spring approved by the Department of Environmental Health. Water need not be pressurized if gravity-fed from an approved developed spring.
15.06.470 Connection to Water and Sewer.
“Limited Density Rural Dwellings” which are instructed within an area for which public water or public sewer is provided, shall be connected to the public water system and/or the public sewer system which is available.
15.06.480 Findings in Support of Adoption of Regulations for Limited Density Rural Dwellings. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 17958.2, the Modoc County Board of Supervisors has made the express finding that the adoption of the regulations for limited density rural dwellings and the modification of these regulations to apply to dwellings built by contractors for occupancy by owners of the property as
well as owner-built dwellings is reasonably necessary because of local conditions based upon the following:
1.) The citizens of Modoc County have, through their elected Board of Supervisors, expressed a desire to legalize the construction of limited density rural dwellings complying with the standards set forth in this Chapter.
2.) Modoc County is a rural County located between approximately 41.469921 degrees north latitude and 120.776845 degrees west longitude. The county can be subject to severe snowstorms, windstorms, or blizzards. Its mountainous terrain and lack of developed roads creates some degree of isolation for many parts of the County and some difficulty in the transportation of building materials and in obtaining skilled and expert assistance for the construction or rehabilitation of rural dwellings. The county’s climate is such that there is a shortened building season.
3.) The County’s high desert and mountainous terrain and lack of developed roads, and are incorporated herein by this reference. Modoc County continues to suffer from a housing shortage and the ability to develop housing under the limited density rural dwellings chapter provides the County with flexibility in providing housing for its citizens.
4.) It has been determined that the adoption of regulations for limited density rural dwellings will not constitute a danger to the health and safety of the citizens of Modoc County as long as standards for electrical, mechanical, and sanitation facilities are maintained.
5.) Modoc County has a severe housing shortage. Low-cost housing is especially hard to find in the County and the adoption of regulations for limited density rural dwellings will encourage the further construction of such dwellings.
6.) State law mandates the County of Modoc to adopt a General Plan which makes adequate provisions for housing its citizens. The adoption of regulations for limited density rural dwellings is an attempt by the County to achieve an acceptable housing inventory for its General Plan. State law further requires the County of Modoc to provide shelter for those residents qualifying for general relief. The general welfare of the County requires the adoption of regulations for limited density rural dwellings so that all County residents may be housed.
7.) The California Building Codes are complex and may be beyond the understanding of many ownerbuilders and homeowners. Yet they allow the Building Department a great degree of flexibility in applying them giving rise to charges of lack of uniform application and that in fact virtually all structures in the County are in some degree in violation of the law. The geographical and topographical conditions of the County create such isolation that it is difficult to conduct the necessary inspections to verify or refute this charge. Because the California Building Codes are of such complexity that they are difficult to enforce under the geographical, topographical and climatic conditions of the County, common sense dictates that these codes be replaced by the regulations for limited density rural dwellings which provide a performance standard of evaluation.
8.) The amendment of these regulations to apply to homes built by a contractor for an owner will enable owner-builders to obtain the skilled help of licensed contractors to the benefit of themselves and the community.
9.) Based upon the above stated local conditions, the Modoc County Board of Supervisors determines that the adoption of regulations for limited density rural dwellings and the amendment of these regulations to apply to dwellings built by contractors for occupancy by the property owners as well as owner-built dwellings is necessary so that County residents may be provided housing at a cost affordable to themselves and to the County of Modoc.
SECTION III: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of the ordinance. The Modoc County Board of Supervisors hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance and every section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that one or more section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase be declared unconstitutional or invalid.
SECTION IV: This ordinance shall take effect and be in full force and effect thirty (30) days after its passage and before the expiration of fifteen (15) days after passage of this ordinance, it shall be published once with the names of the members of the Board of Supervisors voting for and against the ordinance in the MODOC Record, a newspaper of general circulation published in the County of MODOC, State of California.
INTRODUCED at a special meeting of the Board of Supervisors on the 18th day of June 2024.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Modoc, State of California, on the 9th day of July, 2024 by the following vote:
Motion Approved:
RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS]
