LAKEPORT, Calif. – This week the Board of Supervisors will consider a staff request to consider potential applications for state invasive mussel prevention funds.

The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. TV8 will broadcast the meeting live, with the archived video to be available online at http://www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Board_of_Supervisors/calendar.htm .

At 9:45 a.m., the board will discuss and consider potential project applications to the state for funding through the State Department of Boating and Waterways Quagga and Zebra Mussel Infestation Prevention Fee.

Water Resources Director Scott De Leon's report to the board explains that in September 2012, Assembly Bill 2443 was signed into law.

The bill created a special fund in the Department of Boating and Waterways to provide grants for local agencies to develop quagga and zebra mussel prevention programs. 

He said that the special grant program is being funded through additional registration fees imposed by the Department of Motor Vehicles at the time of registration or registration renewal for vessels that operate in fresh water. 

“Staff has been following the development of the program and we are of the understanding that the State will be soliciting grant applications in the near future,” he wrote.

“The purpose of this agenda item is to hear from the Board and the Public ideas on potential projects or programs,” De Leon continued. “It is staff's objective to receive consensus from the Board on project priorities or direction to pursue specific projects or program enhancements.”

The full agenda follows.
