LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Board of Supervisors will continue a discussion on proposed county sales tax measures for roads and lake-related projects when it meets on Tuesday.
The meeting will take place beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, July 10, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. The meeting will be broadcast live on TV8.
In a discussion timed for 10 a.m., the board will consider draft expenditure plans for revenue generated by a countywide transportation sales tax measure. At its June 26 meeting the board had directed staff to prepare the plans.
The supervisors also will consider proposed resolutions authorizing the countywide sales tax measures.
It’s possible that the board will not move forward with the plans after the Clearlake City Council on June 28 decided to forgo involvement in a countywide effort and instead move forward with its own measures.
County staff had reported at the June 26 board meeting that the county would need to partner with the cities, as there is no mechanism for an unincorporated county to do such a measure on its own.
The full agenda follows.
