LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Board of Supervisors this week is expected to approve a resolution regarding state funding as well as a plan to clean up debris and burned homes from the Rocky fire, and also will consider approving a contract with a company for a community choice aggregation power program.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
The meeting can be watched live on Channel 8 and online at http://www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Board_of_Supervisors/calendar.htm . Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.
At 10 a.m. the board will consider a resolution designating the county departments that will act as the agents for the California Disaster Assistance Act funding the county is seeking to assist with debris cleanup and temporary shelter costs for those who lost their homes in the Rocky fire.
That will be followed at 10:05 a.m. by the board's discussion and consideration of the debris management plan for the fire.
At a special meeting last week, the board agreed to move forward with a comprehensive approach to the cleanup that would be completely paid for by the California Disaster Assistance Act funding the county is seeking.
In other business, at 9:45 a.m., the board will consider waiving the competitive bidding process and authorizing staff to negotiate a contract with California Clean Power for a community choice aggregation program, which is meant to lower power costs and allow for more renewable energy to be used locally.
The board also will be asked to authorize the board chair to sign the legal services agreement with Andrew B. Brown of Ellison, Schneider & Harris L.L.P. for issues related to community choice aggregation and California Clean Power.
In an untimed item, Chief Probation Officer Rob Howe will ask the board to consider a proposal to contract with Mendocino County to house Lake County juvenile detainees, a move which Howe's report says will realize significant cost savings, and improve services and programs for detainees.
The full agenda follows.
