LAKEPORT – The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will do some preliminary budget work, consider approving leases for artists at Lucerne's Harbor Village and hold another reading on an underage drinking ordinance.

The meeting starts at 9 a.m. in the Board of Supervisors chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes. TV Channel 8 will broadcast the meeting live.

One of the day's primary items will be an untimed consideration of a preliminary budget tabulation for the 2008-09 fiscal year.

The board will consider approving the tabulation, offered to them by County Administrative Officer Kelly Cox, which will constitute the proposed budget for the fiscal year which begins this July.

They'll also look at a proposed resolution approving position allocations for the upcoming fiscal year in order to conform to the proposed budget, and consider requests to authorize purchase of certain fixed assets and fill new positions prior to adoption of the final budget.

At 9:45 a.m., the board will hold a public hearing on proposed leases at the soon-to-be-opened Harbor Village, a remodeled business park next to Lucerne's Harbor Park on Highway 20.

The Redevelopment Agency proposes to lease the four small shop spaces to local artists and craftspeople.

Leases for consideration include 6193 East State Highway 20, which will be leased for the sum of $200 per month to Ray Farrow, Meredith Gambrel, Joan Facca and Richard Seisser; 6195 East State Highway 20, leased for the sum of $150 per month to Joe Schopplein, Lynn Hughes, Lorna Sides, Patricia Oates, Diana Liebe, Barbara LeVasseur, Ruth Morgan, Carolyn Morris, Carolyn Hawley and Jackie Smythe; 6197 East State Highway, leased for the sum of $200 per month to Marilyn Crayton, Linda Kelly and Sandie Coelho-Davis; and 6199 East Street Highway 20, leased for the sum of $200 per month to Luwana Quitiquit and Wanda Quitiquit.

A second reading of an ordinance imposing liability on social hosts who allow minors to obtain, possess or consume alcoholic beverages will be held. The ordinance was advanced to the Tuesday meeting after it received the board's approval on an initial reading at the June 10 meeting. The item is untimed.

At 10 a.m., the board will hold a public hearing on the Planning Commission's recommendation

to deny a General Plan Amendment of a two-acre lakefront property from Commercial Resort to Suburban Residential and consideration of a proposed Ordinance rezoning lands from “CR-FF” (Commercial Resort-Floodway Fringe) to “R1-FF” (Single Family Residential-Floodway Fringe) for the Widgeon Bay/Sunset Point Mobile Home Park, proposed for Ben Lawson.
