LAKEPORT, Calif. – The latest on a subdivision dealing with a destructive landslide, a proposed agreement for a sheriff's substation and commendations for heroic local law enforcement officers will be taken up at this week's Board of Supervisors meeting.
The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, July 23, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. It will be broadcast live on TV8.
At 9:30 a.m., the board will get another update from staff on the Lakeside Heights Subdivision in north Lakeport, where a landslide that began in March destroyed a number of homes and resulted in the evacuation of about half of the 29 homes in the development.
The supervisors will consider whether to continue the state of local emergency they declared in April, and discuss what other actions are needed regarding the subdivision's public water and sewer systems.
Earlier this month 41 homeowners in the subdivision filed tort claims against the county, alleging that leaks in the water and sewer system led to the landslide and associated home damage, as Lake County News has reported.
Also on Tuesday, the supervisors will consider a proposed lease agreement between the county of Lake and Big Oak Center, 13300 E. Highway 20, for a sheriff's substation, and consideration of other options for relocation of Clearlake sheriff's substation.
In another untimed item, the board will consider a budget transfer of $10,000 to fund a contract with a legal firm to represent the county in the matter of Rivero v. Lake County Board of Supervisors.
In that case, Sheriff Frank Rivero is appealing a judge's clarification of his own ruling that the county was not required to pay for additional legal counsel for Rivero after he was placed on a list in February of “Brady” officers with credibility issues.
That determination was made by District Attorney Don Anderson after investigating allegations that Rivero had lied about a nonfatal February 2008 shooting in which he shot at a man with pepper spray, a violation of department protocol.
In other board items, at 9:10 a.m. the supervisors will present proclamations of commendation to California Highway Patrol Officer Adam Garcia and Lakeport Police Officer Stephanie Cruz-Green for lifesaving efforts they recently took while on the job.
The full agenda follows.
