LAKEPORT – A consideration of the county burn ban and a public hearing on a special victims unit grant will be on the Board of Supervisors' agenda this Tuesday.
The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, June 1, in the Board of Supervisors chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. TV8 will broadcast the meeting live.
At 9:15 a.m., the board will consider a change of the yearly burn ban in years when there is heavy rainfall.
The ban goes into effect each year on May 1, but with this year's heavier – and later – rainfall, the county has received complaints about the ban. The board will consider temporarily suspending the ban this year.
At 10:25 a.m. the board will hold a public hearing on grant funding the Lake County Sheriff's Office is seeking through the US Department of Justice's Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program for a special victims/vulnerable persons unit.
On May 11 Sheriff Rod Mitchell gave the board an update on the $111,130 grant which his agency has received to work specifically on crimes affecting children, the elderly and those with disabilities, as Lake County News has reported.
At that time he reported a new investigator position for the unit is being included in the 2011-11 budget.
An extra item for a California Emergency Management Agency grant for $550,000, to be used for pot suppression, also will be taken to the board by Mitchell as an extra item, according to board staff.
