Board of Supervisors Tues Mtg 09-01-2026

The County of Lake Board of Supervisors meeting on September 1, 2026, included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key items included approval of a first amendment to a contract with Management Records Incorporated for Lindsay Program Management Software, with a not-to-exceed amount of $27,000 for the period October 2026 to September 2027. The board also considered and approved an amended memorandum of understanding for Clear Lake watershed co-management, adding the Koi Nation of Northern California as a signatory. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the proposed increase of fees related to the Quagga Mussel prevention program, including raising boat sticker fees from $20 to $60 to address funding shortfalls and sustain the invasive species control efforts. The board discussed the need for a phased fee increase, outreach to stakeholders, and potential use of cannabis tax funds and grants to support the program. The board directed staff to return with more detailed options and outreach plans rather than approving the fee increase immediately. Additionally, the board approved a letter of commitment supporting a grant application for a community resilience center by the Habitael Pomo of Upper Lake Tribe. The meeting concluded with the termination of the Community Development Director and appointment of a successor.
