LAKEPORT, Calif. – This week the Board of Supervisors will discuss enforcing transient occupancy taxes and will honor the local students who received their degrees at Marymount California University last week.

The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, May 17, 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.

In an untimed discussion, the board will discuss and consider enforcing the collection of transient occupancy taxes on the county's vacation rental homes.

The county collects transient occupancy tax – also known as “bed tax” – from establishments including motels and hotels, resorts, and bed and breakfasts. The county has not, however, collected it from rental homes, and the supervisors will discuss pursuing that course.

In timed items, at 9:10 a.m. the board will present a proclamation recognizing and honoring the 2016 graduating class of Marymount California University, Lakeside Campus. Thirteen local students received their bachelor's degrees at the May 11 commencement, as Lake County News has reported.

At 9:15 a.m., the board will consider renewing a proclamation of a local health emergency first declared in September due to the Valley fire.

The full agenda follows.
