The meeting will start at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 7, in the board chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. TV8 will broadcast the meeting live.
Beginning in the summer, the board created a task force composed of local citizens to consider short- and long-term funding options to deal with aquatic weeds and algae issues, which have increased in recent years, causing impacts on the area's tourism industry.
At the board's Nov. 16 meeting, the task force suggested that $500,000 a year be devoted to improving and managing the lake's health, as Lake County News has reported.
County Administrative Officer Kelly Cox told the board at the Nov. 16 meeting that he had some ideas for reallocating county revenue rather than creating new fees or taxes.
His report for Tuesday's meeting explains that a one-time, $1 million allocation set aside in this year's budget for weed and algae management should cover two years based on the task force's suggestion.
In order to provide funding for the other five years, Cox said county staff is suggesting a temporary annual allocation of $325,000, more than the $199,000 annually the task force suggested.
However, Cox wrote that staff believes the proposal is advisable and would have been supported by task force members had they been aware of the options.
He also suggested that the reallocations will result in less reliance on new short-term revenue sources and provide the county with more time to figure out what long-term revenue sources might work.
Among the annual revenue sources, Cox suggested $150,000 from geothermal resource royalties. While those royalties are again being withheld, he said Congressman Mike Thompson believes they will be restored.
He's also suggesting $100,000 from transient occupancy tax revenues, $25,000 from the Water Resources Department budget and $50,000 from uncommitted year-end fund balance carryovers.
In addition, he said the county should contact the Lake County Vector Control District to request a possible contribution toward the effort.
In other board news, at 10:15 a.m., Air Pollution Control Officer Doug Gearhart will take to the board the Lake County Air Quality Management District's request to pursue the purchase of property located at 1101 N. Main St., Lakeport, consisting of 3,000 square foot office building. The building, owned by Realtor Lowell Grant, currently houses a real estate office and financial planner.
The property purchase also will be the subject of a closed session discussion between the board and Gearhart, acting as the real property negotiator, regarding price and terms.
In closed session the board also will discuss whether to initiate litigation and a case of existing litigation regarding Boeger Land Development.
