Financial Impact:
On 5/16/23, the Board approved an allocation of up to $100,000 for the acquisition of a mobile shower trailer for Emergency Operations. A transfer of funds will be brought to Board for approval at the time of bid award.
Background Information:
An ADA restroom/shower trailer is needed in the County of Tehama to provide underserved populations effected by natural disasters, fires and manmade events that require the County of Tehama to provide alternate shelters for our population and as mutual aid assistance to our response region. Shelters were opened in Tehama County during the Dixie Fire, but our primary shelter locations lack shower units and ADA compliant shower availability is needed to meet the basic requirements of our access and functional needs population. The mobile restroom/shower trailer will allow more buildings and locations to become available as shelter sites and provide a rapid response to emergency situations that have not been available in Tehama County in the past.
