LAKEPORT, Calif. – This week the Board of Supervisors will take a vote on placing another sales tax measure to benefit Clear Lake, and consider a proposed medical marijuana dispensaries ordinance and a possible property purchase in Lakeport.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 5, 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 .
At 9:30 a.m., the board will hold a public hearing to consider a resolution to place a half-percent sales tax measure for the county's water quality, aquatic invasive species, and nuisance aquatic weed and algae programs on the Nov. 4 ballot. The resolution also will establish an expenditure plan for the revenues generated by the sales tax.
A similar measure, Measure L, needed a 66.7 percent supermajority vote to win as a specific tax, and failed to meet that by 1.2 percent, or about 225 votes, during the June primary, according to members of the Save the Lake Committee who took the proposal for a new measure to the board last month.
During the Tuesday discussion the board also will consider whether to prepare an argument for or against the ballot measure.
At 9:45 a.m., the board will hold another public hearing – this one held over from July 1 and 22 – regarding the proposed ordinance to create regulations to allow for medical marijuana dispensaries.
In an untimed item, the board will provide county staff with direction about future uses of the fourth floor of the Lake County Courthouse in Lakeport. A new courthouse is proposed to be built in Lakeport on Lakeport Boulevard by the end of 2017.
The board also will consider a conceptual approval of the purchase of property at 2613 S. Main St. in Lakeport as well as the establishment of a negotiating team.
The full agenda follows.
