LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Board of Supervisors this week will hear more about staffing issues in the county’s building department and appoint members to a new town hall.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 22, 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 https://countyoflake.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx. Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.
In an item timed for 10:01 a.m., the board will consider an update on staffing issues within the Community Development Department.
Last week, the board held a lengthy discussion on the department’s challenges, which are delaying not just the rebuild effort in the wake of the county’s devastating wildland fires but also creating potential problems for other projects as well.
In untimed items, the board will consider appointments to the Lower Lake Waterworks District One Board of Directors as well as to the Western Regional Town Hall, which will represent the communities of Nice, Upper Lake, Blue Lakes and Lake Pillsbury.
The full agenda is below.
