The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, July 6, in the Board of Supervisors chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. TV8 will broadcast the meeting live.
At 9:45 a.m., the board will hold a public hearing to consider a proposed ordinance amending Chapter 13 of the Lake County Code, the Lake County Uniform Abatement of Public Nuisances Code.
The proposed changes relate to providing a broader definition of a “nuisance” and establishing a process for recovery of administrative costs and streamlining the abatement process.
In addition, the ordinance seeks to establish consistent notification processes and procedures, clarify the provisions for weed abatement, enforce land use violations, incorporate the graffiti abatement ordinance and update the administrative penalties section for notices of violations, according to the meeting agenda.
In a nontimed item, Supervisor Rob Brown is taking to the board a proposed policy directive clarifying the role of county advisory boards relative to employee personnel matters.
Brown's report to the board for the item explained that he recently was contacted by the chair of one of the county's advisory boards requesting clarification regarding the advisory boards' proper role when it comes to reviewing employee personnel issues.
“After reviewing the bylaws of that advisory board, and others, I believe we have not been clear about the role of advisory boards in reviewing employee personnel issues,” Brown wrote.
As a result, he's proposing a policy directive that states that, unless otherwise required by state law or specifically requested by the supervisors, such advisory boards won't be responsible “for conducting investigations of, or providing recommendations relative to, matters pertaining to county employee personnel issues that are the responsibility of the county department heads and/or the Board of Supervisors to investigate and act upon.”
In other board news, at 11:30 a.m., Mendocino National Forest Supervisor Tom Contreras will give the supervisors an update on the forest's budget and projects among other issues.
The board also will hold a closed session to discuss labor and property negotiations, and existing litigation – Mishewal Wappo Tribe of Alexander Valley v. Salazar, a case regarding Boeger Land Investments LLC and (c): Sierra Club v. County of Lake.
