LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Board of Supervisors is seeking a public member to serve on the Countywide Redevelopment Successor Agency Oversight Board.
People interested in serving on this voluntary Board are encouraged to complete the county’s online advisory board application.
Paper applications are also available at the County Administrative Office, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
Applications will be accepted until the seat is filled.
On June 28, 2011, then-Gov. Jerry Brown, signed ABX1 26, abolishing all California City and county redevelopment agencies, effective Feb. 1, 2012.
This legislation additionally required establishment of local oversight boards. Initially, the county and two cities each established their own distinct oversight boards.
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34179, as of July 1, 2018, the three boards were consolidated into the seven-member Countywide Redevelopment Successor Agency Oversight Board.
These countywide boards can be staffed by the auditor-controller or certain other entities, as designated by the auditor-controller.
Under state law (as amended by AB 1484 and SB 107), the Oversight Board is responsible to ensure “enforceable obligations” of the historical Lake County and City Redevelopment Successor Agencies are met and to “dispose of assets and properties of the former Redevelopment [Agencies]” or transfer ownership of certain assets, in the interest of “[winding] down the affairs of the [dissolved] Redevelopment Agencies.”
Two Oversight Board members are appointed by the Lake County Board of Supervisors, including a member of the public.
Oversight Board members currently include the following:
· Moke Simon, Lake County Board of Supervisors;
· Brock Falkenberg, Lake County superintendent of schools;
· Dr. Cirilo Cortez, community colleges representative;
· Alan Flora, city selection committee representative;
· Vanessa Mayer, employee organization representative;
· Christine Flora, independent special districts representative.
· Vacant, public member appointed by the Board of Supervisors.
