The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 3, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. TV8 will broadcast the meeting live.
At 9 a.m. the supervisors will elect the new chair and vice chair for 2012 for the Board of Supervisors, as well as the Lake County Local Board of Equalization and the Lake County In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority Board of Directors.
In a discussion timed for 10:15 a.m., Registrar of Voters Diane Fridley will take to the board an elections official’s certificate on the referendum petition protesting the adoption of Ordinance No. 2960, which the board passed in October. The ordinance regulates the cultivation of medicinal marijuana.
Fridley’s report to the board said the supervisors must determine whether to repeal Ordinance No. 2960, or submit the ordinance to voters on the ballot for the June 5 presidential primary election or in a special election before the June primary.
The Lake County Citizens for Responsible Regulations and Lake County Green Farmers Association submitted the signature petitions in November.
Fridley’s report to the board confirms that they have the necessary signatures for the referendum to appear on the June ballot.
The number of signatures required was 2,115; Fridley’s report said 3,605 signatures were submitted, of which 3,085 were checked. Out of that group, 2,132 signatures were found to be sufficient.
The two groups also are seeking to put a separate medical marijuana cultivation initiative on the June ballot, having submitted signatures for that effort late last month.
The Registrar of Voters office has until later this month to determine if that proposed initiative – titled the “Lake County Medical Marijuana Cultivation Act of 2012” – has the 2,115 signatures needed to qualify for the June primary.
A referendum petition submitted last fall by another group, which targeted the medical marijuana dispensaries ordinance the board approved in August, resulted in the board rescinding its ordinance and moving forward with code enforcement actions on the dispensaries, which the board ordered to be shut down.
A full agenda for Tuesday’s follows.
