LAKEPORT, Calif. – Urgency conservation ordinances for county water systems, a marijuana dispensaries ordinance and a discussion about another possible sales tax measure to support the lake will go to the Board of Supervisors this week.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, July 22, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. TV8 will broadcast the meeting live, with the archived video to be available online at http://www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Board_of_Supervisors/calendar.htm .
The Board of Supervisors will hold three back-to-back public hearings – at 9:15 a.m., 9:20 a.m. and 9:25 a.m. – to consider urgency ordinance for water conservation in Finley Water-CSA No. 6, Spring Valley-CSA No. 2 and County Waterworks No. 3, respectively.
Lake County Special Districts staff had indicated earlier this month their intentions to return with the proposed urgency ordinances due to dropping well levels in the County Service Areas.
At 9:30 a.m., the board will continue a public hearing that began at its July 1 meeting regarding a proposed new ordinance to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries.
At 9:45 a.m., the board will consider requests from the “Save the Lake Committee” regarding options for funding lake programs through taxation and possible placement of another measure on the November ballot.
The group's last effort, Measure L, received a 65.2-percent vote in the June primary, narrowly missing the 66.7-percent supermajority vote needed to go into law as a specific tax.
