LAKEPORT, Calif. – This week the Lakeport Economic Development Advisory Committee will get an update about new legislation to help the state's film industry, discuss the Carnegie Library's future uses and welcome new members.
LEDAC will meet from 7:30 to 9 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 10, at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
LEDAC Chair Wilda Shock reported that the group will briefly review the Lakeport Carnegie Library Reuse Feasibility Study for any recommendations to the Lakeport City Council.
Also on Wednesday, Jonathan Southard, a film industry veteran currently working as a first assistant director with movie productions, will give the committee a special informational presentation on new legislation regarding the California Film Commission.
The legislation encourages filming in California. Shock said Southard also will discuss opportunities for Lake County to be considered as a filming location.
In other business, LEDAC will accept the resignations of Vice Chair Mireya Turner, who recently was elected to the Lakeport City Council, and Carol Cole-Lewis.
The Lakeport City Council last week appointed new members Rick Hamilton, Chris King and Rebecca Southwick, and reappointed Shock, Bill Eaton and Melissa Fulton.
Other members include Pam Harpster, Christine Hutt, George Linn, Paula Pepper-Duggan and Taira St. John, with City Planning Services Manager Andrew Britton and City Manager Margaret Silveira serving as ex-officio committee members.
LEDAC advocates for a strong and positive Lakeport business community and acts as a conduit between the city and the community for communicating the goals, activities and progress of Lakeport’s economic and business programs.
Members do not have to be Lakeport residents.
The committee is next scheduled to meet from 7:30 to 9 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 14, at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
