LAKEPORT, Calif. – In its final meeting of the year, the Board of Supervisors will discuss an emergency declaration resulting from last week's storm, look at possible action regarding the landslide at Lakeside Heights and consider a new agreement for public defender services.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 16, 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 .
The board, in an untimed item, will consider ratifying a local state of emergency declared last Thursday by County Administrative Officer Matt Perry, who also serves as director of the Lake County Office of Emergency Services, due to the heavy rain and resulting flooding.
In other business, at 11 a.m. the supervisors will get a status report and consider possible action regarding a new potential landslide at Lakeside Heights, the north Lakeport subdivision where beginning in March 2013 several homes were destroyed due to significant ground movement.
The county closed a portion of Hill Road East near the subdivision on Dec. 2 due to concerns that the hillside could affect the road. During the recent rains, a portion of the hill came down into the roadway.
Supervisor Anthony Farrington, who requested the item be placed on the agenda, is asking his board colleagues to “consider any appropriate action to maintain Hill Road East as an entrance to the hospital,” as Sutter Lakeside's entrance also is off of Hill Road.
Also on Tuesday, at 11:30 a.m. the board will consider an agreement between the county of Lake and Lake Defense Services for the provision of public defender services.
In an untimed item, the board will consider once again continuing the proclamation of an emergency declaration due to the drought that was first passed in March.
The full agenda follows.
