Latest Mt. Konocti planning meeting held

Print
LAKE COUNTY – Public Services Director Kim K. Clymire hosted the fourth of a series six meetings last Wednesday, June 24, to continue receiving feedback on the development of the Mt. Konocti Master

Management Plan.


A small group with varied recreational interests attended and an interactive discussion was held that allowed everyone present to discuss and list their ideas for the development of the mountain’s master management plan.


Representatives from the Boy Scouts of America as well as Supervisor Comstock and the general public were in attendance.


When complete, which will probably take one to two years, the plan will govern the park’s use, conservation and preservation.


Types of use, policies and procedures, resource and fire management plans and more were discussed, as well as, restrictions that come with the sale of the property, including day use only, except by special arrangements, no motorized vehicles, except by authorized use, and preservation and conservation of the mountain.


County staff anticipates having the basics of the master management plan decided on prior to opening the trails to the public late this year or early next year.


The final two meetings will take place Wednesday, Aug. 12, and Wednesday, Aug. 26, in Lakeport from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Board of Supervisors Chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
