LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Board of Supervisors this week will discuss placing a fee on cable subscribers that will be used to support the local cable access television station.
The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 11, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
At 9:30 a.m., the board will hold a public hearing on a proposed ordinance that would establish a 1-percent pass-through fee on the bills of Mediacom subscribers, with the funds to benefit TV8.
The board held the hearing over from its Aug. 28 meeting in order to let County Counsel Anita Grant research whether the pass-through constitutes a fee or a tax. In the latter case, it would need to go to a ballot, based on state law.
