The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 18, in the board chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St. TV8 will broadcast the meeting live.
At 10 a.m. Public Works Director Brent Siemer will take to the board an update following its discussion last month of Robinson Rancheria's gas station project near the casino in Nice.
The tribe has not worked with the county on the project and reportedly does not have to because the land in question, just off Highway 20, is in trust, according to county assessor records.
However, the property is located in the Middle Creek Restoration Project area, meant to restore wetlands to the lake. That has triggered concerns for local officials about possible impacts on the lake due to underground storage tanks and stormwater runoff, and the county's potential need to construct and maintain a ring levee to protect the property from flooding.
Also at issue is the tribe's plans to use the county maintained Reclamation Road Cutoff – not Highway 20 – as access to the gas station. According to Caltrans the tribe did not pursue the needed state permits to be able to turn directly off of the highway and into the project.
Siemer sent a letter to the tribe on Dec. 29 informing them that using Reclamation Road Cutoff would require a county encroachment permit; his Jan. 11 report said he had not received a reply.
He also will ask for the board's direction regarding the tribe's request that the county abandon a portion of Hammond Road between Highway 20 and Reclamation Cutoff through the project area.
At 10:30 a.m. the board will continue a public hearing begun last week on a proposed ordinance amending Article IX to Chapter 15 of the Lake County Code. The ordinance would establish a fee-based inspection program for all water vessels launched in the county of Lake.
Water Resources Director Scott De Leon had asked last week for additional time to refine some points, including a fleet rate for boat owners with multiple boats, as Lake County News has reported.
In other board business, at 9:45 a.m. the supervisors will consider a proposed resolution to conceptually approve entering a lease agreement with Personal Network Computing Inc., doing business as Valley Internet, for a 10-year lease of access to county-owned host locations for equipment to enable high-speed broadband Internet services to reach currently unserved areas of Lake County.
The terms of the agreement are to be negotiated, according to the agenda.
The board also will hold a closed session to discuss labor negotiations and performance evaluations for interim Animal Care and Control Director Bill Davidson and De Leon, both of which were held over from the Jan. 11 meeting.
Other items on the agenda are as follows.
