Supervisors to take up motel appeal, hear crop report and discuss grand jury response

LAKEPORT, Calif. – A discussion on a motel owner's appeal of a county enforcement action will go back to the Board of Supervisors when it meets this week.


The meeting will start at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 28, in the Board of Supervisors chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St. TV8 will broadcast the meeting live.


At 9:45 a.m. the board will take up the matter of Veronica Fisher's El Dorado Motel, which has been continued from three previous meetings, including last week's, as Lake County News has reported.


Fisher is appealing a violation notice issued in September 2009 against her motel, located at 3955 Lakeshore Blvd. in Lakeport.


The county is pursuing a code violation because it alleges that Fisher converted her facility to a combination of permanent and transient living. Fisher has responded that she believes her use has been grandfathered in based on previous contacts with county staff.
