How to resolve AdBlock issue? LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Board of Supervisors this week will consider adopting an ordinance to approve a development agreement for a south county resort and will discuss the process to move forward with community choice aggregation to purchase energy for the unincorporated county.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7, 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, online and on the county’s Facebook page. Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.

The meeting ID is 865 3354 4962, pass code 726865. The meeting also can be accessed via one tap mobile at +16694449171,,86533544962#,,,,*726865#. The meeting can also be accessed via phone at 669 900 6833.
At 10 a.m., the board will hold a public hearing to rescind a resolution that it adopted on Aug. 26 for the development agreement for the Guenoc Valley Mixed-Use Planned Development Project.
The action is needed because staff reported that, based on the county zoning ordinance, the Board of Supervisors has to use an ordinance — not a resolution to approve a development agreement. The board will then consider a new ordinance with an updated development agreement.
At 3 p.m., the board will consider a staff review of a proposed joint powers agreement with Sonoma Clean Power for community choice aggregation, which would allow the county to purchase power at a lower cost for residents in the unincorporated county.
The cities of Clearlake and Lakeport joined the board in a special meeting on Sept. 30 to discuss working with Sonoma Clean Power. On Thursday, the Clearlake City Council considered joining Sonoma Clean Power and voted down the proposal.
The staff report to the board said there is no proposed decision making action for this meeting.
The board’s discussion will include a conceptual introduction of draft enabling resolutions and an ordinance for the county to join Sonoma Clean Power and possible direction to staff.
The board and the Lakeport City Council are expected to decide on the matter separately in their meetings on Oct. 21.
The full agenda follows.
