Director Crawford - Lake California Road Update
Director Crawford presented a slide show that outlined the progress to date for Lake California
Drive road repairs/upgrades and in obtaining a secondary access road. The slide show is
available at http://www.lakecalifornia.net/general-blog/road-update-pertaining-to-board-
meeting The presentation was shared with several Tehama County officials before the LCPOA
meeting.
A question and answer period followed the presentation. Some of the questions and answers are
listed below.
Will the LC Drive reconstruction be the same road/path only rebuilt, or would there be
additional road improvements? Director Crawford stated that she understands that part
of the reconstruction project would include studies that measured traffic volume and that
those studies would determine how the road was reconstructed. The studies may indicate
that a larger road is needed due to increased Lake California traffic.
How do the Phase 1 studies relate to the work performed prior to the September 25,
2018, Tehama County (TC) Board meeting? Director Crawford stated that the Phase 1
studies are an extension of that effort. The Phase 1 studies will provide TC additional
information it requires to determine the preferred route for the secondary access road.
Are costs and legal difficulties being included in the route selection? Land can be costly
to obtain. Director Crawford stated that the Phase 1 studies will consider the practical
implications of obtaining the needed right-of-way when choosing the best route. Some
land will be more valuable and more difficult to obtain than others. The studies consider
more than just the physical requirements of building the road.
What is going on with the intersection at LC Drive and Main Street? Director Crawford
stated that we believe that intersection falls under CALTRANS jurisdiction. There have
been some discussions between board members and also LC residents and CALTRANS,
As of now, there is interest in improving the intersection but there is no way forward yet.
This aspect of the road improvements has more work to follow. It has not received as
much attention as the other issues. We have been focused on working county issues for
LC Drive and the second exit.
A resident expressed concerns about not knowing what is going on. How will residents
be able to see progress? Director Crawford stated that she would create a schedule that
shows the key events and timeframes. We will report status at the monthly board meet-
ings. As much information that can be shared will be shared. However, some discussions
particularly contractual and legal cannot be made public until they have reached an
agreement. It is important to build trust with our partner (Leviathan) and Tehama Coun-
ty, so some data may need to remain private while it is in work. It is also important to
note that unlike typical projects, we do not control all of the tasks and people needed to
get to a secondary access road.

J. COMMITTEE REPORTS
Architectural - Steve Chain
121 active projects; 642 completed projects = 763 total. 28-29 new builds, 12 are lot combos.
Airport – Gene Evans
Recently there has been an increase in foot traffic on the runway. Do not walk on the runway.
When the airplanes are landing, they are very quiet. The power setting is pulled back and you will
not hear them landing. You will not know to get out of the way. Landing aircraft cannot see pedes-
trians on the runway. You could be hit at a 100 mile per hour aircraft which would be catastrophic
for you and the plane. Children have been on the runway, and people were exercising on the run-
way. There were pedestrians on the runway about the same time as several landing aircraft and with
slightly different timing someone could have been killed or severely injured. This is a violation of
the rules and extremely dangerous.
The next committee meeting is on May 14th 2 PM at the Lake Club.
Neighborhood Watch - Rob Moore
Meetings are now every other month. The neighborhood watch will be supporting the First Annual
Lake California Safety Fair on Jun 22nd and is providing a safety information booth.
Lake California Volunteer Fire Department - Chris Wikeen
Training for the month: continuation of Hazardous Materials First Responders refresher training
hands-on decontamination process. Drill nights continue to be Thursdays.
Two volunteers are now training active and one new application in progress.
So far, no issues with people burning in Lake California. Burn permits are required as of May 1.
You can go to the Bowman station, or you can do it online. Burning is allowed in Lake California
through May 15, 2019.
People should start thinking about mowing the grass and creating that defensible space around their
homes.
If you would like to volunteer for fire or Auxiliary, send us an email at
lakecaliforniafd@gmail.com. You can also call (530) 528-5199.

mercial Alarm sounding: 1 for a total of 21 incidents.

K. OTHER REPORTS - None
L. CONSENT AGENDA
Motion to approve limited burning in Lake California. Burning will be allowed in Lake California for residents on
their private property only. No burning shall take place by residents on LCPOA common areas or greenbelts. We
have determined that a significant hazard exists with an excessive accumulation of down fall following the snow
storm in February. This excessive fuel loading poses a significant summer time fire hazard to our community. This
is an emergency fuels reduction program aimed at reducing the fuel loading caused by the storm. Time frame will
be April 1, 2019, to May 15, 2019, on proper burn days determined by Cal Fire. After this set time frame burning is
not allowed by residents per rule RR-06-06 Burning.
A free burn permit must be obtained from CAL FIRE (closest is the Bowman Station) for burning taking place
from May 1, 2019, to May 15, 2019. Cal Fire guidelines regarding what can and can't be burned, how big the piles
must be, who must be in attendance, when and when not to burn, what is needed for burning and the phone number
to determine if it is a burn day or not, etc. must be followed. CAL FIRE will administer the process. Residents that
do not follow burn procedures will be cited/fined by Cal Fire and the LCPOA.

Please be advised that beginning on June 17, 2019 without any additional notification the LCPOA
Maintenance Crew will be entering properties which have not been cut to meet the requirements of
weed abatement in order to bring the property into compliance. The crew will be weed eating,
mowing, or disking grass/weeds as needed on those noncompliant properties.
Please be aware that should it be necessary for a noncompliant property to be cut by the LCPOA
crew, a Reimbursement Assessment of $300.00/cut will be imposed against that property owner.
As the property owner, you are responsible for maintaining your property in accordance with Tehama
County Code Section 9.05 which is known as the Tehama County Fire Hazard Abatement Ordinance
and states in part that “All required firebreaks shall be created and maintained by mowing all
weeds, grass, rank growths, shrubs, trees, and trimmings therein to a maximum height of three
(3) inches, or by disking or removing all weeds, grass, rank growths, shrubs, trees, and
trimmings from the firebreak.” Also, it is stated that “On vacant parcels of urban lands that are
one and one fourth (1.25) acre in size or smaller a firebreak shall be required over the entire
area of the parcel.”
Please keep in mind the following while doing weed abatement work:
You do not want to cut your lot too soon before June 16th, if you do you may end up needing to cut it
again in order to meet the requirements of weed abatement.
Vegetation is to be cut to approximately 3” in height. Lots are to be cut to the extent practical and
feasible based on topography of lot. Also required is cutting around and under living trees including
vegetation from the front survey pins to the back pins if feasible. Caution should be taken so as not to
scar or ring trees as the damage could cause the tree to die.
When cutting on site, equipment during mowing should include at a minimum a 2-1/2 gallon water
extinguisher and a long handled round pointed shovel regardless of the type of mowing equipment
used.
Steel blade mowing hours allowed by the LCPOA are from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and for cutting
by use of a nylon string weed-eater the hours are 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
All contractors must have a $1,000,000.00 liability insurance policy naming the LCPOA as an
additional insured. A copy of the Insurance Certificate must be carried in your vehicle & presented to
any LCPOA Employee.Page 17

The View from the Street
With the warmer weather, many begin taking to the cool waters of Lake California and now is a good time
to point out some of the Rules and Regulations pertaining to the enjoyment of water activities within the
Community.
Please understand that for safety reasons and as posted by signage, swimming is not allowed in Lake
California Lake around the area of the boat launch and that diving into the lake is not allowed from any of
the docks around the Lake Club or from the bridge on Rio Alto Drive. Also, in accordance with
RR-06-25, swimming or wading is not allowed in any of the ponds around the Community Gate and Goff
Hall (the LCPOA Office).
As required by RR-06-05 when launching or using your motorized water vessels on Lake California
waterways, resident/members must have their vessels registered with the LCPOA office and display the
registration sticker on the left hand (port) side of the vessel and trailer. Any guest of a resident/member
wishing to launch and use their motorized water vessel must obtain and display in the windshield of their
vehicle a $30.00 per day launching permit when launching at either the Lake Club ramp or at Steelhead
Landing. All vessels must adhere to applicable Coast Guard Rules and Regulations regarding operating
and navigating a vessel on Lake California waterways, and RR-06-04 states in part that all watercraft
operated on any lake within the properties of Lake California shall be limited to five (5) miles per hour
and in a manner not to create a wake and shall have an operational stern light for night time use.
Per RR-06-10, any and all fishing activities shall be subject to the rules and regulations of the California
Fish and Game Department. Any guest of a resident/member wishing to fish in any Lake California lake
or pond must be accompanied by the resident/member. Remember that between February 1st and May 30th
bass fishing is catch and release only. Bass Fishing from May 30th through January 31st is subject to a
two-fish limit with a minimum length of 12 inches and a maximum length of 15 inches. There are no size
limits on Blue Gill or Crappie, however there is a ten fish in aggregate per day limit. Catfish must be a
minimum length of 15 inches with a two fish per day limit. No fishing derbies or tournaments are allowed
without prior POA written approval.
Due to a safety concern of fishhooks and tackle being left on the ground, the sandy beach areas near the
Lake Club and at North Marina Park have been posted with signage showing that these areas are closed to
any fishing activities. Please make sure to respect this activity closure for the safety of those who use
these portions of the shoreline for an outing at the beach areas with friends and family.
Fishing from the bridge on Rio Alto Drive near the Lake Club is also prohibited due to traffic safety
concerns, and RR-06-11 states that no person age 13 or above may fish in any of the ponds in the
proximity of Goff Hall (the POA Office).
When at the Community Pool please make sure to review and adhere to the rules & regulations that are
posted regarding your use of the pool facilities and please respect and follow any verbal instructions from
the on-duty Pool Attendants, they are there to watch over and assist all in having a
safe and enjoyable time at the pool.
Please have fun, be safe and adhere to the Rules and Regulations while enjoying
all the activities that Lake California has to offer.Page 19 Training this month consisted of Wildland firefighter safety and survival. Our firefighters must qualify each year prior to fire season by demonstrating proficiency in wild fire containment and control. Fire shelter deployment and safety gear use. All safety gear is then inspected and replaced or repaired as needed. Our training nights continue to be held on Thursday evenings. If you would like to become a volunteer or see what we do, please join us on a Thursday night, 6 pm at the station. This is a great opportunity to help your community. We currently have two application in progress. Send us an email at: lakecaliforniafd@gmail.com or call (530) 528-5199 if you would like to join our organization. Please stay informed on Fire Department News by liking us on Facebook at “Lake California Fire Company 2”. Burning ended in Lake California May 15th. We would like to say thank you to the POA Board for allowing burning in our community following the bad winter storm. Many people took advantage of this opportunity to burn their downed material. We had no issues with burning and we thank everyone for being responsible. Now is the time to prepare your home against wildfire. Please continue to make defensible space by mowing the grasses. Fire safety and defensible space around your home is your responsibility. Our small Fire Engine has been out of service for the last 6 weeks while much needed mechanical work was completed. Our engine will be back soon sporting a new look. Our community name is now on our engine! Our auxiliary staff provides much needed support to our department and we truly appreciate the work they do. They are in need of more volunteers and your help is needed. I you would like to apply for a position with our auxiliary staff please send us an email at: lakecaliforniafd@gmail.com The summer months are getting a late start with this late rain. It will not be too long before the weather warms up and people are beginning to swim. Please take extreme care of the little ones who can’t swim. Swim safety is everyone’s business. Please ensure the little ones wear a life jacket when near the water. Please watch your kids and ensure their safety with a floatation device while in the water. Mark your calendar: June 22, 2019 the POA along with your fire department will be hosting a Public Safety Fair. The event will be held at the Lake Club from 10-3 pm. We have several agencies scheduled to participate to include: 4 helicopters, the United States Forest Service Smoke Jumpers, CHP, Sheriffs water rescue division, Cal Fire, Ambulances Fire Engines and CPR classes. Lots to see and do for our community members. Plan to come down and participate at our first annual public safety fair. This event is shaping up to be a great experience.

Did you know? How To Fire Proof Your Home
As many POA Property Owners are aware most areas of our community are located in a Wildland Urban Interface
(WUI) area. This classification requires using fire resistance building materials on the exterior of new homes.
Flying embers are a key source of property loss, because wind driven embers can travel large distances entering
the intake air eave vents located on the home. Studies have shown upgrading the older 1/4” mesh Eave (and
foundation) vents to smaller 1/8” mesh will protect against flying embers destroying homes.
FYI; A few years ago we had an example of a local home lost to fire. Remarkably Calfire and community efforts
kept the fire from making direct contact with the home. However, flying embers entering the home through the
inlet air eave vents still caused a complete loss to the property.
Here is a link the a Berkley EDU. study on the topic. http://firecenter.berkeley.edu/bwmg/vents-2.html
Addtional information is available, from Cal Fire, at www.Calfire.gov.
This is the typical fire season for California. Let's be proactively “fire safe.”

As we get close to nice weather (!?!) and the summer months,
the Lake California Garden Club likes to leave the Lake Club and take
field trips to interesting locations. This May was no exception. On the
second Wednesday of the month (our usual meeting day), we headed
south for the Moonbeam Farm on 3911 Columbia Avenue, off of South
Street in Corning. Besides several types of lavender, loofahs are grown.
There is a country store, and the owner offers a presentation about
both the lavender and the loofahs. Consider visiting for the Lavender
Harvest event on Saturday, June 8th.
The Garden Club's next outing will be on Wednesday, June 12th.
We will go to the Natureland Goat Farm in Red Bluff. Besides seeing
the baby goats and possibly watching the milking, we will be able to
purchase the soaps, lotions and creams made from the nourishing
goat's milk. If you would like to join us, meet at Goff Hall at 11 o'clock
that morning. Bring your bag lunch! We hope to see you there.
Don't forget that the Shasta County Fair will be held from June 19 to
22. Enjoy your summer!Page 25

Page 29 Wow, what a great cowboy day Farmers Market grand opening!!! So many ven- dors, great vegetables, food, games, and music. And that wasn't all, at 5 pm we had our taste and judge Cowboy BBQ at the lake club. Yippy-hi-yay! Great BBQ plates made by the best BBQ chefs in LC. Music, raffles, 50/50, best MC's, It was fabulous for everyone. Now if you missed the grand opening we will have the Farmer’s and Vendors back plus we have 6 more vendors joining us on June 2nd. We have a great new singer that will be playing her guitar on the 2nd, I coaxed her off of a big event to try us, and she is good. We definitely are going to have a great Farmer’s Market this sea- son. We open a little earlier than other markets so we can get commitments be- fore they join other markets. But, that means also that not all vegetables are in season yet., and farmers don't want to join if their vegetables aren't ripe. The ones that are at markets right now are at year round markets with winter crops. The farmers we have, bring freshly picked and very tasty vegetables. As the season gets going farmers have more variety. At our Farmer’s Market you know that the vegetables are locally grown and not shipped, our farmer's vegetables are organic and good for you and your family. These farmers make their livelihood off of pick- ing and selling vegetables. Most work 7 days a week and don't have room on their schedule for another market. It's hard to get farmers so if you see one, or know one, tell them about us. If you have a full garden bring a box or two down to sell (it might help pay for your garden). call Shirley 347-4185 to sell. We have the best vendors with a large selection of items. There is something for everyone, unique hand made items. Some are very crafty, soaps, balms, oils, clothes, jewelry, etc. reps from companies selling awesome items, couple infor- mation booths, deserts, jams, local honey, beeswax, local meats from their ranch, eggs if they are laying, too much to mention. So, come to your Farmer’s Market and have a great time. There are two church services, the pool is open, play- ground, lake, and so much more. Fundays are Sundays!

It’s All About the BBQ in June!
In May, many Rec Club members got to feel the spray of the awesome Burney Falls, plus a
picnic lunch at Britton Lake. New members Alecia A., Brenda A. plus Ron & Debbie S were
able to join us. And the “surprise” that V.P. of Planning Joyce Angello promised us, just 4
miles from the Falls, turned out to be quite fun and photo worthy. What was it? Ask one of the
thirteen who attended if they will divulge this North State quirky site!
Other members enjoyed the Frank Sinatra/Ray Charles Tribute at the Cascade Theatre
with discount tickets we scored. Never a dull moment when you’re a Rec Club member!
But one of the highlights of the summer is always our LC Rec Club Annual BBQ at the LC
Campgrounds which takes place Saturday, June 8. We’ll meet under the trees at the
Campgrounds at 4:00 p.m. Paid members are free, just bring your camp chair and
beverages, everything else is included. Our very own Lake Club Lounge Chef Hannah
Peasha and Manager Kate Wood are in charge of preparing a wonderful casual dinner, with
all the fixings and dessert! Didn’t sign up yet or want to check us out and join in the party?
Email me at d.thomas96022@sbcglobal.net and I’ll get you signed up for $10!
Everyone should check out the 1st Annual LC Safety Fair, held at the Lake Club on
June 22. This first time event should be interesting in many ways. Our club will be
represented and/or will give funds for prizes.
July, of course, will feature July 6 as the LC Fireworks Day; don’t miss any of the fun
activities during the day, and that evening, the Fireworks!!! We’ll have our usual Club Potluck
and meeting on the next Saturday, July 13, back at the Lake Club.
August 10 brings us the Hawaiian Murder Mystery, where YOU help solve the crime!
Members free; LC residents and guests are $5. Everyone will need a ticket to attend. More
info about this popular event next month, but mark your calendars now, as space is limited!

Ahhh! June has arrived – warm weather, kiddoes are out of school, summer vacations in
the future, living more “outside” (until it gets too hot) and enjoying activities and the
outdoors! Lake California: a great place to live and play – a great place to return to after a
vacation away. We trust you’ll have a memory building safe summer and enjoy family and
activities.
June brings VBS (Vacation Bible School) from the 24th to the 28th. See the advertisement elsewhere
in the newsletter. VBS has activities and teaching of values in a Bible-story context, snacks and
relationships. If your kids’ schedule permits, please register them early, if you can, for these morning
sessions.
Property Update: Clearing along the lakefront is taking a bit more time than anticipated but it is
coming along. With the weather heating up, our work parties will be limited to cool portions of the day.
As previously noted, parking and community use is permitted at user’s risk. Please remove any trash
you bring – that is very much appreciated.
As mentioned last month, Packet #1 funding was completed at Easter which means we are beginning
the civil work on the property soon. This will involve securing our general contractor and begin the
grading and Phase 1A element inclusive of concrete work, parking, landscape and more. The grading
will begin the layout and planting of the softball/soccer field. Actual timing is not known - we hope to
plant the grasses and some of the landscape shrubbery during the winter/spring timeframe. Many
contractors are involved in the Camp and Carr Fire revitalizations which may delay actual beginning.
Ministries: Several of our ministries remain active during the summer months:
Sunday Worship Services – 8:30 & 10:15 am each Sunday
(exception: June 30th: 8:30 am service, 10ish baptism, & 11 am potluck)
We are presently studying in Paul’s letter to the Romans
Children’s ministries both services
