The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 1, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
In an untimed item, County Administrative Officer Kelly Cox will take to the board proposed letters to federal representatives over the anticipated loss of royalties for Lake and other counties across the country that produce geothermal resources.
Cox's report to the board explains that the geothermal royalties – which have been under threat for the last few years – are once again under threat, with the Obama administration's deficit reduction plan including the proposal to eliminate all royalties to counties and states.
Thanks to The Geysers geothermal steamfields and other geothermal leases in the county, Lake has been amongst the counties with the top revenue, taking in several million dollars that have been used for projects like the purchase of the Mt. Konocti parklands and other community improvements in the south county.
In other business, at 9:20 p.m., the board will get an update on the lobbying effort that has followed its passage of a resolution this summer calling on the governor to declare a statewide emergency resulting from infestation of Dreissenid mussels into state water bodies. The board also will discuss the Clear Lake Advisory Committee’s progress on the development of a work plan.
At 10:20 a.m., the board will discuss a revised version of a proposed resolution supporting the mandatory labeling of genetically engineered food. The issue was held over from the Oct. 25 meeting.
At 2 p.m., the County Administrative Office will present to the board the Lake County Economic Development Marketing and Economic Marketing Strategic Plan for 2011-2013.
During the discussion, a group of Lake County artists is expected to talk with the board about a strategic plan for art tourism. Local artists are encouraged to attend and find out more information about how they can take part in the art tourism plan.
A full agenda follows.
