Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Lake County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
FLASHES microgrid boundary decision
The Board was set to pick between two boundary options (B4 or B5) for the FLASHES microgrid project, which affects which areas can participate in the resilience power network.
Delinquent Fee Collections for Special Districts
A public hearing to confirm collection of delinquent water, sewer, and lighting fees for Clearlake Keys service areas, Kelseyville Waterworks, and LACOSAN — unpaid balances get added to county tax rolls.
PG&E microgrid and Trane energy agreements
The county signed onto PG&E's Microgrid Incentive Program and Trane reimbursement agreements — energy resilience projects with grant and reimbursement dollars behind them.
Robin Lane sewer spill emergency and LACOSAN funding
The Clearlake sewer spill emergency continued, and the Sanitation District board shifted over $1 million in reserves to cover spill costs.
2025 Stormwater Resources Plan Adoption
The county adopted its 2025 stormwater plan, which shapes how flooding and drainage are handled and positions the county for state cleanup-water grants.
CDBG funding for business loans and sewer testing
Federal grant funding will support the county's Business Assistance Loan Program and sewer line testing on the Southeast Regional Wastewater System. That's infrastructure and small business help for the southeast lake area.
Geothermal exploration at Southeast Treatment Plant
Special districts want to work with EGX Energy to explore locating geothermal facilities on the Southeast Treatment Plant property. The board didn't approve anything yet — it told staff to keep working with consultants.
