Commissioners press for written emergency‑services input and debate creek access restrictions

Commissioners repeatedly raised flood and emergency‑response concerns for the campground site in the Naked Creek area, citing past damaging storms and the potential for campers or residents to be stranded. One commissioner said, "What do we do if there is a major flood... or a major fire issue?" and asked staff to secure written input from emergency services and the rescue squad.

The commission reviewed a proposed condition preserving native vegetation within 100 feet of the creek and discussed whether to prohibit creek access for guests to protect the waterway. Staff cautioned that enforcing creek restrictions would be complaint‑driven and could be difficult for county personnel to police; commissioners asked for alternatives and for professional assessments of rescue and evacuation capacity to be returned at a future meeting.
