LAKEPORT, Calif. – This week the Board of Supervisors will consider supporting a veterans housing project through a property donation and discuss possible applications for state funds regarding the state's invasive mussel prevention fee.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 26, 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 10 a.m., the board will consider a proposal to donate county-owned property located in the city of Clearlake for the purposes of building a veteran homeless shelter or a veteran housing project under California Proposition 41 “Veterans Housing and Homeless Prevention Bond Act.”
At 10:15 a.m., the board will consider potential project applications to the state for funding through the State Department of Boating and Waterways Quagga and Zebra Mussel Infestation Prevention Fee.
A report to the board from Water Resources Director Scott De Leon explains that in September 2012 AB 2443 was signed. The bill creates a special fund in the Department of Boating and Waterways to provide grants for local agencies to develop quagga and zebra mussel prevention programs.
De Leon explained that the grant program is being funded through additional registration fees imposed by the Department of Motor Vehicles at the time of registration, or registration renewal for vessels that operate in fresh water.
“Staff has been following the development of the program and we are of the understanding that the State will be soliciting grant applications in the near future,” he said in his written report.
De Leon said the purpose of the agenda item is to hear ideas from the board and the public about potential projects or programs.
“It is staff's objective to receive consensus from the Board on project priorities or direction to pursue specific projects or program enhancements,” he wrote.
The full agenda follows.
