At 11 a.m., the supervisors, sitting as the Lake County Sanitation District Board of Directors, will consider entering into a land lease agreement between the Lake County Sanitation District and the Lake County Rodeo Association for use of a portion of two properties in north Lakeport, 6253 Hill Road and 5955 Lakeshore Blvd.
The report to the board from Special Districts Administrator Scott Harter explained that his staff and rodeo association representatives began discussing the prospect of relocating the rodeo to a location at the Northwest Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant property.
Harter said the sanitation district “has approximately 1,200 acres in the north Lakeport area that the treatment plant is located on and the roughly 80-acre area being considered for a rodeo site is not currently being utilized. Prior to the Geysers Effluent Pipeline project in the early 2000s, land application of treated effluent occurred at the site. For the last 20+ years there has simply been cattle grazing on the property. Neither the application of effluent or grazing activities are happening or anticipated in the future.”
Sanitation district staff and rodeo association members made a presentation to the board earlier this year on the possible location “and received positive feedback on bringing a lease document back for Board discussion,” Harter wrote.
The lease is for a 10-year period, from May 1, 2024, to April 30, 2034, with the rodeo association to pay $100 a year for the property.
“This lease is envisioned as a transitional step toward a more permanent parcel creation and sale of surplus land. The lease will allow the Rodeo Association to formally start the use permit process with the Community Development Department and the studies required as part of that land use review,” Harter wrote.
The full agenda follows.
