The board meeting will convene at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 2, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St. TV8 will broadcast the meeting live.
At 1:30 p.m. the board will continue a discussion and public hearing that began last week on redrawing supervisorial boundaries.
A process to revise the county's five supervisorial districts – which takes place every 10 years following the US Census – currently is under way.
Redistricting is necessary in order to ensure an equal number of residents in each district, according to Registrar of Voters Diane Fridley, who is overseeing the process and leading the board-appointed Supervisorial Redistricting Advisory Committee.
The committee has so far produced five options, with Supervisor Rob Brown offering a sixth based on feedback from a public meeting held in his district.
The six options currently being considered can be seen at http://gispublic.co.lake.ca.us/redistrict/; a button in the upper righthand corner which says “click to change district options” allows the user to select the various options to see them either separately or layered one over the other.
During the board's discussion on the topic last week, the supervisors argued over which options were best and tried to decide how to minimize the impact.
Fridley said the final options must be selected by the end of this month in order to complete the process by year's end in preparation for next year's elections.
In other business, at 11:30 a.m. the board will consider the Clear Lake Advisory Committee's recommendation to declare a state of emergency regarding the threat of dreissenid mussels on the waters of Clear Lake.
The committee is making the recommendation in order to protect the county's lakes from the damaging quagga and zebra mussels.
In an untimed item, the board will continue a discussion held over from its July 12 and July 26 meetings on awarding the bid for the Middletown Senior Center and Library Project.
Because the bids came in high – the lowest was just over $3.6 million, more than $600,000 over the architect's construction estimate – the board will consider alternatives to awarding a bid in order to reduce project costs.
The board also will hold a closed session to discuss labor negotiations with the Lake County Employees Association, Lake County Deputy Sheriff's Association, Lake County Correctional Officer's Association and Lake County Deputy District Attorneys' Association.
