At 11 a.m., the board will hold a public hearing for the Lake County Hospital Improvement District.

The staff report said the district “would be a business-based assessment of the two hospitals in Lake County — Sutter Lakeside Hospital and Adventist Health Clear Lake.”

The two hospitals petitioned the county to form the district by utilizing the Property and Business Improvement Law of 1994.

If approved, the district’s initial term would be five years and renewals could be up to 10 years. The county would retain a fee of 1% of the collected assessment to cover the district’s administration costs.

In an untimed item, the supervisors will consider a letter of support regarding Caltrans’ application to the California Transportation Commission for the LAK-29 Konocti Corridor 2B project.
“Konocti Corridor project is split into three sections,” the staff report explains. “As of June 2023, the first three mile section, Section 2C, was completed. It ranges from .75 miles Northwest of Kit's Corner to less than half a mile west of the intersection of 175 and 29. Section 2B is the next step in this large project. This will start from where section 2C ended approximately .75 miles Northwest of Kit's Corner to approximately half a mile west of DNA Ridge Rock on Highway 29.”
