LAKEPORT, Calif. – An update from the county’s cannabis consultant and the approval of members of a new blue ribbon panel on the lake’s health are on the Board of Supervisors’ agenda this week.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, April 24, 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 item timed for 9:40 a.m., the board will consider the county cannabis consultant’s updated report on the status of state and local cannabis implementation.
As part of that item, the board will continue its discussion on the expansion of fines and penalties for failure to comply with our local cannabis cultivation ordinance.
The board also will hold three public hearings from 9:30 a.m. to 9:34 a.m. to consider resolutions approving the election date change for governing body members of community services districts, fire protection districts and water districts from odd-numbered years to the same day as the statewide general election held in even-numbered years.
In a consent agenda item, the board will consider appointing members to the Blue Ribbon Committee for the Rehabilitation of Clear Lake. The group has been formed as a result of the efforts of Assemblywoman Cecilia Aguiar-Curry for the purposes of discussion, reviewing research, planning and providing oversight regarding the lake’s health.
Board Chair Jim Steele is proposing he be the board’s delegate, with Wilda Shock, president of the Lake County Economic Development Corp., as local economic development representative; Brenna Sullivan, executive director of the Lake County Farm Bureau, as agriculture representative; Dr. Harry Lyons, Yuba College professor emeritus, as environment representative; and Jan Coppinger, Lake County Special Districts administrator, as public water supply representative.
