LAKEPORT, Calif. – This week the Board of Supervisors will consider how to keep the ground stabilized at the Lakeside Heights subdivision during the upcoming winter months and also hold a public hearing for a proposed general plan amendment.
The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 3, 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 Public Works Department will take to the board options for winterizing the area at Lakeside Heights, the north Lakeport subdivision of 29 homes which has been plagued by a destructive landslide that began this spring.
Several homes have been destroyed and red-tagged as a result of the slide, and additional homes were evacuated voluntarily.
When the board got its last update on the subdivision on Aug. 20, Public Works Director Scott De Leon – the county's incident commander for the local emergency the supervisors declared in April – said he and his staff would bring back recommendations on how to stabilize the soil in the subdivision for the upcoming winter season.
While recent tests have shown only a small amount of ground movement, county officials are concerned that the rainy season could destabilize the ground once more.
The board also is set to have a closed session discussion about Lakeside Heights and the dozens of tort claims filed against the county by property owners in the subdivision.
To date, a total of 45 such claims have been filed, according to county officials. Forty one such claims were filed in early July, as Lake County News has reported, with four more filed later.
In other business, at 9:15 a.m. the board will hold a public hearing to consider a proposed general plan amendment and rezone of more than 40 properties around the county.
In an untimed item, the board will consider awarding a bid for constructing exercise yard enclosures for the Hill Road Correctional Facility.
The full agenda follows.
