LAKEPORT – A lengthy discussion on a proposed ski lake at the last Board of Supervisors meeting is expected to yield a decision at the board meeting this Tuesday.

The meeting will take place at 9 a.m. in the board chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St.

Last week, in a hearing that stretched over more than six hours, Milton and Ellen Heath and numerous residents near Kurt Steil and Gary Johnson's proposed 11-acre ski lake on Butts Canyon Road argued against the plan.

In September, the Lake County Planning Commission approved the lake as part of the plan for Bonavita Estates, which also calls for dividing 534 acres into five parcels

At 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, the board will continue deliberating and offer its decision on the Heaths' appeal of the Planning Commission's approval.

Earlier in the day, at 9:15 a.m., supervisors will discuss adopting an urgency ordinance that puts in place emergency water conservation restrictions and imposes a moratorium on new water service connections for County Service Area No. 2, Spring Valley Lakes.

In an untimed discussion, the board also will continue a discussion begun last week on forming an advisory board to work on issues relating to genetically engineered crops.

Other items on the agenda include the following.

Timed items:

9:45 a.m. ‒ Presentation of proclamation designating Nov. 30 through Dec. 6 as World AIDS Week in Lake County.

10 a.m. ‒ Consideration of proposed agreement between the county of Lake and the Lakeport Regional Chamber of Commerce for marketing, economic development and visitor information services.

Untimed items:

‒ Discussion/consideration of request to award Bid No. 09-13 to Holder Ford-Mercury for purchase of one four wheel drive extended cab flatbed truck in the amount of $49,474.33.

The board also will hold a closed session to discuss labor negotiations and hold a conference with legal counsel on anticipated litigation.
