LAKEPORT, Calif. — This week, the city of Lakeport will host a forum for community members to answer questions about the proposed south Lakeport annexation.

The forum will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, March 10, at Lakeport Cinema, 52 Soda Bay Road.

The city of Lakeport is proposing to annex 137 acres, composed of 50 parcels, adjacent to South Main Street and Soda Bay Road.

In January, the city and county of Lake reached a sales tax agreement for the annexation area that opened the door to the process moving forward.

The Lake County Local Agency Formation Commission is now reviewing the annexation proposal.

Community members who have questions — such as how the annexation will affect them, impacts on taxing and how they can weigh in — are invited to attend. Experts will be on hand to answer questions.

Snacks and refreshments will be provided.

For more information, contact City Manager Kevin Ingram at 707-263-5615.
