LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Board of Supervisors will take another look at how to provide a substation to the Clearlake Oaks community when it meets this week.
The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 6, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. The meeting will be broadcast live on TV8.
The discussion on the Clearlake Oaks substation is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. Also to be considered is the process and funding of the Middletown sheriff’s substation, as well as a staff request for board direction regarding the development of a policy regarding the leasing and purchasing of real property.
Last month, the board had heard a presentation on several substation options, including one offered at $1 a month at the Big Oak Shopping Center on Highway 20 in Clearlake Oaks, as Lake County News has reported.
However, after Sheriff Frank Rivero – who wants to purchase a property on Shady Lane for a substation – insulted and misrepresented the offer, shopping center manager Milton Pereira told Lake County News he was retracting the offer. Pereira said Rivero was a “jerk” and a “clown.”
In retaliation for coverage of the issue, Rivero has blacklisted Lake County News and is refusing to release any public safety information to the news publication.
The County Space Committee – composed of Supervisor Jeff Smith, Public Services Director Caroline Chavez and Deputy Administrative Officer Alan Flora – is asking the board to reopen the discussion “in an effort to identify a viable alternative” or give other direction.
In other business, at 9:10 a.m. the board will present a proclamation designating the month of November 2012 as In-Home Supportive Services Caregiver Recognition Month.
At 10 a.m., the board will hear a presentation regarding funding options available for environmental restoration of damage due to the Wye Fire in August.
The full agenda is below.
