LAKEPORT – County acquisition of a property next to Lampson Field and a resolution in support of a rent stability lease agreement relating to mobile home parks are on Tuesday's Board of Supervisors meeting agenda.
The board will meet at 9 a.m. Tuesday in the board chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes. The meeting will be telecast live on TV Channel 8 and rebroadcast on Sunday at 9 a.m.
At 9:10 a.m. the board will hold a discussion regarding plans for Lampson Field and a proposed property purchase.
A staff report from Public Works Director Brent Siemer says that his department received a letter July 22 from the Alastair S. Falconer Revocable Trust giving the county a 30-day offering to purchase four parcels adjacent to the airport's southeastern corner.
The land include hangars, a restaurant and office space and other improvements, and is entirely developed except for half an acre, according to Siemer's report. No purchase price is specified, but the funding would come mostly from grants.
Siemer, who also acts as airport manager, says in his report that he received direction from the board on Aug. 5 to begin discussion's with the Falconer trust's attorney, Peter Windrem, to purchase the land.
Since then, Windrem has taken Public Works staff on a tour of the property, part of which Siemer's report suggests could be used for a Lakeport Fire Protection District site.
A Federal Aviation Administration official has indicated the agency would support the purchase. Siemer's report notes the purchase is consistent with the Lampson Field Master Plan.
The offer's 30-day window has been extended to Sept. 16 for the board to make a decision, Siemer reported.
Along with the property purchase discussion, the board also is scheduled to discuss a revision to the Airport Layout Plan and Airport Capital Improvement Program in order to facilitate the property acquisition, and consider appointing Siemer to negotiate on the county's behalf.
During the board's afternoon session, they will consider a resolution in support of the use of a rent stability lease agreement in mobile home parks in Lake County.
Supervisors Rob Brown and Anthony Farrington sit on the county's Mobile Home Task Force, which has been in longterm discussions over issues like rent control.
The board held a hearing on Aug. 12 to take public input on the issue, and directed County Counsel Anita Grant at that time to work on the proposed resolution's wording, which will be presented at the meeting.
