How to resolve AdBlock issue? The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 15, 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 https://countyoflake.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx. Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.
At 10 a.m., the board will consider and discuss the staffing issues in the Community Development Department’s Building Division and consider a contract for chief building official and plan examiner services with Bureau Veritas of Sacramento.
Supervisor Rob Brown discussed the issues with building division staffing at the Aug. 7 Kelseyville Business Association, which prompted businessman Mark Borghesani to speak to the issue during public comment at the board’s meeting Aug. 8.
Borghesani, whose family owns Kelseyville Lumber, said the county has a “catastrophic issue” on its hands.
Being in a lumber yard with a pro department that deals daily with contractors, “We’re kinda like the bartenders of the building industry,” he said.
He asked who was accountable for the staffers who are leaving and the lack of an experienced plan checker. Borghesani also questioned where the focus of the planning department is – if it’s on marijuana or the general plan.
“Our building industry and our contractors and the people that need to get back in their homes are suffering,” he said.
Also on Tuesday, at 9:30 a.m. the Lake County Resource Conservation District will present its annual report.
The full agenda is below.
