The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 19, in the board chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. TV8 will broadcast the meeting live.
In a matter continued from Sept. 7, the board will consider options for funding improvements to the Southeast Regional Wastewater System, including possible financial participation by the city of Clearlake, and discuss the proposed ordinance amending the charges and fees for Southeast Regional Wastewater System. The matter will be heard at 10:45 a.m.
Clearlake City Administrator Dale Neiman said at last Thursday's Clearlake City Council meeting that he and Mayor Judy Thein met with Supervisor Anthony Farrington and County Administrative Officer Kelly Cox to discuss the sewer system issues.
“No decisions were made,” said Neiman.
Earlier this year the city had been in talks with the county about the system and contributing to the just under $5.5 million in repairs, but the city later pulled out of the discussion. Last month, the board decided to go back and see if the city would contribute to the effort in order to keep the costs down.
In other news, in an untimed item, the board will consider a staff proposal to issue a request for proposals to build and lease a Lake County Mental Health office building on 13th Avenue in Lucerne.
The board also will hold a closed session in which supervisors will conduct a performance evaluation of Public Works Director Brent Siemer, discuss labor negotiations and consider a case of existing litigation, Lake County Air Quality District v. Bennett.
