48 Hour Delay of Hunnell and Clausen Requirement to Vacate Due to Air Quality

Because of poor air quality in the region, people in the temporarily closed area of Hunnell Road and Clausen Road will be given an additional 48 hours to the seven days they were already provided to vacate the area with their belongings and vehicles/RVs. People are now required to vacate the area no later than midnight on Wednesday, July 26.

The City will resume its clean up operations on the morning of Thursday, July 27. The additional time is in accordance with the City’s Administrative Policy 2023-4, which allows suspension of enforcement for reasons that include wildfire smoke.

The City is distributing KN95 masks today to people in the Hunnell and Clausen area. People in the area should continue preparing to leave, but can do the work necessary to leave more safely with 48 hours of additional time and respiratory protection.
