The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, June 5, 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.
In an item time for 9:10 a.m., the board will consider County Librarian Christopher Veach’s request to accept a donation of $8,590 from the Friends of the Lake County Library to buy new children's books and new large type books for adults for all branches of the Lake County Library system.
The staff report said the Friends of the Lake County Library “have raised funds for this express purpose.”
In untimed items, the board also will look at requests from Sheriff Brian Martin to convey three Crown Victoria pursuit vehicles, two 2009 model year and a 2010 to the Clearlake Police Department and a 24-foot 2001 Godfrey Sweetwater Pontoon boat and trailer to the Northshore Fire Protection District. Martin’s reports said that both the vehicle and the boat have been declared surplus.
Regarding the patrol cars, Martin’s report stated, “These vehicles have been replaced in our vehicle fleet. The Clearlake Police Department’s vehicle fleet has recently been diminished due to unforeseen accidents and circumstances. The acting Clearlake Police Chief Tim Celli requested to purchase three patrol vehicles.”
In order to assist the Clearlake Police Department with maintaining the ability to carry on with their law enforcement patrols and operations, Martin said the county will sell the vehicles to the city for a total of $750.
Regarding the boat and trailer, Martin said the boat was originally donated to the county in May 2015 with a value of $8,970. A trailer was purchased at that time for $1,500 from McAtee’s Marine. “Due to the high cost of refurbishing this boat, it has been determined it is not cost effective for us to keep,” he said.
He added, “It is the intent of the Northshore Fire Protection District to refurbish the pontoon boat so that it can be used as a diving platform during diving operations.”
The full agenda follows.
