LAKEPORT, Calif. – This week the Board of Supervisors will consider approving the county's Visitor Information Center this week and look at options for providing public defender services.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28, 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 video available online at http://www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Board_of_Supervisors/calendar.htm .
In an untimed item, county administrative staff will ask the board to consider closing the Historic Courthouse Museum on Sundays and on Labor Day and to permanently close the Visitor Information Center in Lucerne effective 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31.
