LAKEPORT – The quagga mussel is back on the agenda for Tuesday's Board of Supervisors meeting.
The meeting starts at 9 a.m. at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St. The meeting will be broadcast on TV Channel 8.
The discussion on the quagga, scheduled for 11 a.m., will focus on a proposed ordinance that would establish an inspection fee. That's one of several measures the county is considering in an effort to prevent the pesky mussel from making its home in Clear Lake and other surrounding lakes.
A draft of the ordinance wasn't available from the Board of Supervisors' office by the end of business Monday because it was still under review.
In other board business for Tuesday, a proclamation will be presented to Mary McMillan, appointing her as Lake County Poet Laureate for 2008-09. The presentation is set for 10:25 a.m.
At 10:35 a.m., Public Services will present a report to the board on the Lakeport Transfer station's current status.
Last month Public Services Director Kim Clymire told Lake County News that the station's trash compactor is down, which has made it necessary to send franchise trash haulers directly to the landfill in Clearlake. Replacing the compactor's damaged parts or the entire unit was estimated to be as much as $1 million.
Clymire will present options to the board, including his own recommendation for a transitional closure over the next 18 months, which is supposed to coincide with Lake County Waste Solutions expanding its Soda Bay Road transfer station.
Under untimed items, the board will consider Sheriff Rod Mitchell's request to appoint a working group to implement the recently approved syringe exchange program. That discussion originally was scheduled for the March 18 meeting, but lengthy discussions – including that on the quagga mussel – caused the board to postpone it.
Board members also will consider approving a letter to the US Department of the Interior regarding the Habematolel Pomo's proposed land trust acquisition for the casino it wants to build in Upper Lake.
Other timed items for Tuesday:
9:10 a.m. – Presentation of a proclamation designation April 3 as the “Day to End Sexual Violence,” April 23 as “Denim Awareness Day” and the month of April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month in Lake County.
9:15 a.m. – Public hearing, appeal of Richard T. Siri Sr. of the Planning Commission's decision of the condition of the approved tentative parcel map requiring dedication of a 10-foot pedestrian easement providing access to Clear Lake from Lakeshore Boulevard. The project is located at 4445 and 4436 Lakeshore Blvd., Lakeport.
9:45 a.m. – Public hearing, appeal of Jeanne Ford of the Planning Commission's denial of a request for variance to allow an existing deck within the side and rear side yard setback. The project is located at 535 Walnut Drive, Lakeport.
10:15 a.m. – Public hearing, Planning Commission's recommendation for approval of a two-year extension of time of a tentative subdivision map to create 14 residential lots on 140 acres based on an initial study. Applicant is John Phillip Ownbey; project is 16239 Spruce Grove Road, Middletown.
10:30 a.m. – Presentation of a proclamation designating the month of March 2008 as Social Worker Appreciation Month in Lake County.
The board also plans a closed session with labor negotiators.
