LAKEPORT, Calif. – Continuing discussions started in February, the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will take up proposals for restructuring three key county departments.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, March 1, 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 http://www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Board_of_Supervisors/calendar.htm . Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.
In an untimed item, the board will consider various proposals to restructure the Public Works, Public Services and Water Resources departments.
The board held a lengthy but inconclusive discussion on the matter Feb. 16 and, ultimately, decided to hold it over because, at that time, Supervisor Anthony Farrington was absent, and his fellow supervisors expressed a desire to have all members present before moving to make a decision.
Also on Tuesday, the board will hear two presentations by the conservation organization Tuleyome that had been scheduled for last week's meeting but were held over at the request of Supervisor Jim Comstock, who was absent.
At 10 a.m. the board will hear a presentation from Tuleyome regarding the proposed purchase of the Silver Spur Ranch, a 1,200-acre property owned by the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas and located within the Snow Mountain Berryessa National Monument.
Tuleyome also will make a presentation regarding the establishment of a Northern Coast Range Inner Coastal Conservancy at 10:05 a.m.
Last week, state Sen. Lois Wolk (D-Davis) and Assemblymember Bill Dodd (D-Napa) introduced Senate Bill 1396 to establish the Northern Inner Coast Range State Conservancy.
The bill makes participation in the conservancy optional and decided at the county level. Lake is among 13 counties eligible for inclusion.
The full agenda follows.
