LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Board of Supervisors this week will consider an agreement for repayment of removal of a construction crane that went into the lake in 2010 and get an update on plans at Westside Community Park.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, June 14, 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 http://www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Board_of_Supervisors/calendar.htm . Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.
At 9:45 a.m., the board will consider approving an agreement with Martin Scheel to repay abatement costs associated with the removal of a submerged crane in Clear Lake in 2011.
Scheel, currently a Lakeport City Council member and a District 4 supervisorial candidate, had been working as a contractor on the lake when the crane went into the lake in November 2010, as Lake County News has reported: www.bit.ly/1Ub0sHj .
The crane was removed in August 2011 at a cost of $55,906.07. Scheel has agreed to pay that amount over the course of 10 years in equal biannual installments of $2,795.30, which are to be made on or before April 10 and December 10 of each year until the amount is paid in full.
If he fails to make the payments, the full amount shall be immediately due, based on the contract language.
