LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Board of Supervisors this week will discuss an emergency state grant for the water system at the Lakeside Heights subdivision, a proposed fee to support cable access television and get an update on the latest developments with the Middle Creek Restoration Project.
The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 6, 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 10:15 a.m., the board will consider passing a proposed resolution approving an agreement between the county and the California Department of Public Health for interim emergency measures for water systems affected by the landslide that developed this spring at the Lakeside Heights.
Beginning in March the ground movement at the north Lakeport subdivision of 29 homes led to the destruction of several structures. Altogether, about half of the 29 homes in the subdivision were either red-tagged of evacuated due to impacts from the landslide.
The staff report from Special Districts Administrator Mark Dellinger explains that the county has received an emergency grant for just under $47,000 from the California Department of Public Health to reimburse the county for studies, repairs and the installation of a compound water meter at Lakeside Heights.
The funding agreement requires the passage of a resolution naming the person responsible for signing the agreement, approving and submitting requests for reimbursement, and who also will certify when the project is complete, Dellinger reported.
In other business, at 9:15 a.m. the board will hold a public hearing on a proposed ordinance that would charge a 1-percent fee on Mediacom users’ bills in order to provide funding for TV8, the county's cable access television channel.
At 10:45 a.m., the board will get an update on the Middle Creek Restoration Project, which proposes to return 1,650 acres of former wetland along the Northshore to the lake in an effort to help improve Clear Lake's nutrient loading and control flooding issues.
In an untimed discussion, the board will consider a proposed memorandum of understanding between the county and Marymount California University for educational programs, as well as a proposed policy providing for county employee scholarships to Marymount California University for professional and educational development.
The full agenda follows.
