LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A planning meeting for the county’s new Mt. Konocti Park has been postponed until early next year, along with work on the park as winter weather arrives.

Lake County Public Services Director Caroline Chavez said this week that the public meeting on the park’s planning status, originally scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 30, has been postponed for the winter.

Chavez said the next meeting is tentatively scheduled for February 2012.

The last planning meeting was held Tuesday, Nov. 2, and meeting participants were brought up to date on the current status of the Mt. Konocti Park development, according to Chavez.

Additional park improvements are on hold through the winter months, said Chavez, and so there are no new developments to report.

Chavez reported that participants also were asked to submit their preferences for priorities and questions on the planned development which will be reviewed by county staff and the newly-formed Konocti Regional Trails Team.

The Konocti Regional Trails Team has had some initial meetings to begin reviewing the community input and developing priorities for Mt, Konocti and other regional trail systems including a communications plan to keep people informed of plans and progress, according to Chavez.

Mt. Konocti is currently open only to hikers while plans are developed and the special order vault restrooms are built, delivered and installed, officials said.
