Vicious dog abatement returns to board for update Tuesday

LAKEPORT, Calif. – This Tuesday the Lake County Board of Supervisors will receive an update on a vicious dog case that came before it earlier this summer.


The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 5, in the board 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 get an update on Bear, a dog owned by Nice resident Gerald Lindquist. Bear had been set for destruction after escaping his chain link kennel in July, as Lake County News has reported.


Bear had previously gotten in trouble with county animal control officials after he and two other dogs were involved in an attack that injured two people. Animal control officers described him as unpredictable.


At its Aug. 3 meeting the board agreed to let the dog be taken to an out-of-county trainer in an effort to get him under control. Tuesday's hearing is to update the board, which must decide if the dog should be destroyed or if he has made enough progress to be saved.


In other agenda items, the board will receive the annual report of domestic violence services at 9:50 a.m. and at 10 a.m. will continue a public hearing regarding U Wanna Camp's appeal of a September 2009 notice of violation for allegedly allowing long-term occupancy of RV spaces on a site with an expired use permit. U Wanna Camp is located at 2699 Scotts Creek Road, Lakeport.


The board will hold a closed session to discuss existing litigation, Sidetracked Associates dba Featherbed Railroad v. Lacosan.
