LAKEPORT, Calif. – This week the Board of Supervisors will hold a discussion with state officials regarding the state’s response to the threat of quagga and zebra mussels, consider moving forward with a recruitment for a new county administrative officer and hold abatement hearings on two medical marijuana dispensaries.
The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 10, 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 1:30 p.m. the board will host a presentation and workshop regarding the state response to the threat of dreissenid mussels – better known as quagga and zebra mussels – in the waters of California.
For the last several years the board has been working to implement programs to keep the damaging invasive mussels out of Clear Lake and the county’s other water bodies.
On that same topic, during an untimed agenda item the board will consider the implementation of an educational program related to the mussels for county residents.
In another untimed item, the board will consider the pending retirement in March of County Administrative Officer Kelly Cox and give direction on moving forward with a recruitment.
