LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Board of Supervisors this week will discuss an updated agreement with the state for funding for the Middle Creek Restoration Project.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, June 11, 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 and online at https://countyoflake.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx . Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.
In an untimed item, the supervisors – sitting as the Lake County Watershed Protection District Board of Directors – will consider approving an agreement between the Lake County Watershed Protection District and the California Department of Water Resources in the amount of $15,000,000 for the purchase and maintenance of properties as part of the Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project.
The project’s goal is to restore damaged habitat, remove structures and return 1,650 acres of agricultural land to the lake and marshland.
Water Resources Director David Cowan’s report explains that on July 17, 2018, the board adopted a resolution to accept $15,000,000 in grant funds from DWR. However, that agreement has been changed to clarify the funding sources, the state’s total contribution, the grantee and to remove a $240,000 cost of share to the district.
Also untimed are the following: consideration of a response to the 2018-19 Grand Jury Special Report; further discussion and consideration of cannabis permitting and fees; and consideration of discussion and direction to staff concerning the county regulation of industrial hemp.
