LAKEPORT, Calif. – New and reelected officials will take their oaths of office on Tuesday during the Board of Supervisors meeting, during which there also will be a discussion on offering a reward in an April 2014 murder case.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 6, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
The meeting can be watched live on Channel 8 with the video available online at http://www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Board_of_Supervisors/calendar.htm .
The meeting will begin with remarks by outgoing District 3 Supervisor Denise Rushing and presentations to her, followed by the administering of the oath of office to the District 2 and District 3 supervisors, sheriff, assessor-recorder, auditor controller/county clerk, district attorney and treasurer-tax collector.
Supervisors also will appoint or reappoint their members to the Lake County Planning Commission.
In other business, Supervisor Rob Brown is asking his colleagues to consider offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the murderer of Christopher Wray, who was killed in Lucerne last April.
Wray, 51, was shot at a residence on 12th Avenue. The assailant, described as a white male adult with short hair, between 40 and 50 years of age, was seen running from the area with what appeared to be a handgun.
In another untimed item, the board will hold a second reading on an amendment to Ordinance No. 2991, which will allow a pass-through fee on Mediacom subscribers to support the county's cable access channel, Channel 8, despite the fact that the Attorney General's Office has not determined if the pass-through is a tax subject to Proposition 26.
