LAKEPORT, Calif. – A discussion relating to the city of Lakeport's proposed annexation of S. Main Street/Soda Bay Road and the consideration of a new general plan housing element will go to the Board of Supervisors this week.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, April 3, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. TV8 will broadcast the meeting live.
On March 13, the board discussed a proposed agreement between the county and Ruzicka Associates for a $27,000 feasibility study regarding a public water system in the South Lakeport area when issues about the study were raised by Lakeport city officials in light of city desires to annex the area.
At 10 a.m. the board will take back up the discussion on the feasibility study and also discuss the city's annexation proposal, which in recent months has led to disagreements and strained relationships between the county and city.
At 10:45 a.m. the board will consider a proposed negative declaration based on initial study for the adoption of and update to the housing element of the Lake County General Plan.
In a joint meeting of the board and the Lake County Planning Commission on March 27, the commission approved the document and recommended it to the board, as Lake County News has reported.
In an untimed item, the board will consider a resolution declaring an intent to adopt a resolution of public use and necessity regarding the acquisition of easements for the Southeast Regional System-Lift Station & Force Main Project. The resolution is a part of the process for ultimately acquiring the easements by eminent domain if necessary.
