County of Lake Board of Supervisors Meeting · Tuesday 09/01/2026

The County of Lake Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on September 1, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions. Notably, the Lake County Housing Commission approved a first amendment to a contract with Management Reports Incorporated for Lindsay Program Management Software, increasing the contract amount by $27,000 for the period from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. The board also considered and approved an amended Memorandum of Understanding for the Clear Lake Watershed co-management agreement, adding the Khoi Nation of Northern California and updating signature authorities. Additionally, the board reviewed a letter of commitment supporting a grant application by the Habematol Pomo of Upper Lake for a Community Resilience Center Program, authorizing the chair to sign. A significant portion of the meeting was devoted to a detailed presentation and discussion on proposed fee increases for the Quagga Mussel Prevention Program, including raising sticker fees from $20 to $60 and instituting a special event lake access permit fee. Board members expressed concerns about the steep fee increase, potential impacts on local residents and tourism, and emphasized the need for further outreach and a phased approach. The board directed staff to return with more options and a long-term plan for sustainable funding. No final votes on fee increases were taken at this meeting. Other agenda items included public comments, moments of silence, and various reports from supervisors.
