Community Development Director Rick Coel is taking to the board a proposed agreement with the firm EDAW/AECOM for preparation of an environmental impact report (EIR) for Bottle Rock Power's steamfield extension project at the Binkley Ranch leasehold on Cobb. The discussion is untimed.
Coel's report notes that the contract amount is for $429,717, down from the original bid of $584,077, thanks to county staff's negotiations with the firm. The negotiations also shortened the time frame for the project's completion, from August 2010 to June 2010.
“This is a high priority project and the Community Development Department will work diligently with EDAW to get the EIR completed on time,” Coel wrote in his report to the board.
The report also explains that the final EIR will need to be completed by next June so the Lake County Planning Commission can consider the use permit application. A rezone of the leasehold also is necessary.
The board also will consider giving direction on the possible sale of the third county-owned watercraft decontamination unit. That discussion also is untimed.
The county already has sold two of its four units, purchased last year, to Los Angeles County, and gave another to the city of Lakeport. County staff is proposing offer the last unit, which the city of Clearlake turned down, to Los Angeles County as well, which is purchasing the others for $16,234 each.
