The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 9, in the board chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. TV8 will broadcast the meeting live.
At 10:15 a.m. the board will take up the request from Clearlake Vice Mayor Joyce Overton to contribute funds to the operation of the Public Education Government (PEG) channel, found on Channel 8.
A report from County Administrative Officer Kelly Cox said that the county entered into an agreement in November 2007 with the city of Clearlake to assist with operating the channel.
He said the agreement required that the PEG Board submit a proposed budget to the city and county by March 1 for the following fiscal year, but that wasn't done for fiscal year 2009-10.
A $56,000 proposed budget was submitted for the 2010-11 fiscal year, but Cox said that, due to budget constraints, neither the city nor the county provided funds to the channel.
Cox's report said Overton, who also is a member of the PEG Board, is requesting $10,000 – $5,000 for the current year and a retroactive $5,000 contribution for last fiscal year.
Cox is suggesting the board consider several options, including contributing the requested funds; terminating the existing agreement with the city and withdrawing from involvement effective June 30, 2011; requesting the city relinquish the channel and related equipment to the county, which can explore operation options; or withdrawing and asking Mediacom to allocate another channel to be managed by the county, separate from TV8.
In other board business, board members are expected to vote on the request for a rezone and general plan of development for the proposed 30-lot Plum Flat subdivision, to be located on 105 acres at 10929 Point Lakeview Road, Kelseyville.
The board discussed the issue last month and staff requested a continuation to come back with a rezone ordinance, as Lake County News has reported.
The board also will hold a closed session for a performance evaluation of Public Works Director Brent Siemer and a conference with legal counsel regarding an existing case of litigation, Mishewal Wappo Tribe of Alexander Valley v. Salazar.
