The board meets beginning at 9 a.m. in the board chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St. The meeting will be broadcast on TV Channel 8.
At 9:45 a.m. the board will hold a public hearing to consider a purchase agreement on Holiday Harbor, located at 3605 and 3655 Lakeshore Blvd. in Nice.
The county and the land's owner, Joan Bartz, have agreed on a $2 million price tag, about $900,000 less than was reportedly asked for last year.
Late last year the board began discussing a possible Holiday Harbor purchase at the suggestion of the county's Redevelopment Agency, which proposed that the 4.2-acre property could be a possible town center for Nice.
In December, Deputy Redevelopment Director Eric Seely reported that the county owns a significant amount of land of property adjoining Holiday Harbor, which also could be used as a waterfront development.
During the afternoon portion of the meeting, the board will hold a workshop on tree preservation in the county.
That discussion begins at 1:30 p.m.
Earlier this year, the city of Clearlake adopted an ordinance to protect native trees such as oaks. The Tuesday afternoon workshop will explore similar issues.
