Supervisors to reconsider accepting out-of-county fire debris, discuss agreement with fire districts
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 14, 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 untimed item, the board will once again discuss whether to take debris at the Eastlake Landfill from the Redwood fire in Mendocino County.
At a meeting last month, the board chose to refuse to accept the debris at the landfill, which has limited space. The county is working on a landfill expansion project.
However, last week Supervisor Rob Brown asked that the matter be brought back for reconsideration.
In other business, at 9:10 a.m., the board will consider continuing a local health emergency declared by Lake County Health Officer Karen Tait and get an update on the Sulphur fire recovery.
At 9:15 a.m., the board will consider and discuss the Red Net fire response frequency in Lake County.
That will be followed at 9:30 a.m. by a report from staff on efforts to develop a one-year lease agreement between the county of Lake and the Lake County Fire Chiefs’ Association for use of the Lake Red Net radio frequency, along with consideration of the first amendment to agreement between the county of Lake and the Fire Protection Districts for dispatch services.
In another untimed item, the board will consider an agreement between Cobb Area Water and Lake County Special Districts, which will allow the remaining geothermal mitigation funds to be used for the engineering and design of phase No. 1 of the Cobb Water consolidation.
The full agenda follows.
