Lakeport Regional Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Officer Melissa Fulton said the chamber hasn't yet raised the full amount needed for the fireworks display, but the Fireworks Committee – olice Chief Kevin Burke, Mayor Ron Bertsch, Leslie Firth, Ross Kauper, Sinda Knight, Barbara Breunig and Fulton – is confident everyone will chip in what they can to help pay for the 2009 display.

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.

This effort is supported by Alta Planning + Design, a national consulting firm specializing in trails, with assistance provided by the National Park Service, Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance program.

A group of more than 30 individuals with varied recreational interests attended.

An interactive, fun workshop was held that provided an opportunity for everyone present to reflect on, discuss and list their ideas for the development of the county’s Regional Trails Plan.

Representatives from the Lake County Sierra Club, Redbud Audubon, the Elem Tribe, Supervisor Rushing, key county staff and the general public were in attendance.

When complete, the Regional Trails Plan will guide the county in establishing needed bike lanes, sidewalks and walking paths in the unincorporated areas of the county, as well as hiking, biking and equestrian trails throughout the county.

The trails plan will incorporate existing routes on Bureau of Land Management land, in the National Forest and state parks, as well as help the county to plan for future trails and pathways to special vistas, safe routes between neighborhoods and schools, water trails on Clearlake and other trails of interest to the public.

The public is strongly encouraged to attend future workshops to help the planning team gain an understanding of all communities in Lake County and their specific needs.

Additional workshops will be held this fall and next spring.

For more information and to get on the notification list for future workshops contact the Public Services Department at 707-262-1618 or visit www.konoctitrails.com .
