The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. in the board chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St. TV Channel 8 will broadcast the meeting live.
The agenda can be downloaded at www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Board_of_Supervisors/BOS_Agendas.htm .
At 9:40 a.m., the board will consider the county’s response to a Williamson Act Survey and discuss its position on continuation of Williamson Act contracts.
The board also will look at sending a letter to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger urging him to restore the Williamson Act, which he cut in this year's state budget from a proposed $27.8 million to $1,000.
It's the first time the subventions – part of the California Land Conservation Act – have been suspended in 38 years, according to the California State Association of Counties.
A letter drafted by Board Chair Denise Rushing to Schwarzenegger notes, “we fear that eliminating the subvention payments is the first step toward a total unraveling of the broadest based agricultural conservation program in the State. California is losing its working landscapes at an alarming rate while simultaneously faced with tremendous population pressure that further jeopardizes the economic viability of thousands of farming and ranching enterprises.”
