SACRAMENTO (CBS13/AP) The latest on the severe weather hitting Northern California:
6:30 p.m.
Officials have lifted the evacuation for a portion of the LNU burn scar in Solano County. The Solano County sheriff’s office says residents should still remain vigilant and have a go-bag ready in case of another bad storm.
5:25 p.m.
Interstate 80 remains closed from Colfax to the Nevada State line due to spinouts. Eastbound traffic is being during around at the Colfax exit due to the dangerous conditions. Some vehicles pulled over to the side of the road to wait out the closure, but Caltrans has no estimated time of reopening.
The county has no available vaccines to distribute and is not taking appointment reservations.
“We simply don’t get the supply to meet the demand,” said Carla Hass, county communications director, on Tuesday during a supervisors meeting. “The vaccine supply just isn’t there.”
Hass said that she understands residents are frustrated, but that will most likely continue until supply meets demand.
El Dorado County receives .35% of the state’s vaccine allotment and the county makes up about .4% of the state’s population. Hass says these numbers are up to par in comparison with the county and state populations. These numbers point to country-wide lack in supply of the vaccine.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Lake Tahoe Unified School District (LTUSD) is seeking a increase of developer fees that go to the district from $2.24 per square foot to $3.20 per square foot. They plan to use the increase in revenue to support its program to reconstruct existing facilities, funds that are needed due to rising costs in South Lake Tahoe.
The current fee structure has been in place since 2013. It is calculated on all living area space when a building permit is issued by the City of South Lake Tahoe or El Dorado County, depending on where the home falls within the LTUSD boundaries.
