In an item scheduled for 9:45 a.m., the board will present a proclamation declaring Sept. 17 and 24 Native American Days in Lake County.
In an untimed discussion, the board will consider a letter of support for federal legislation expanding the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument.
Supervisors Eddie Crandell and Bruno Sabatier are asking their fellow board members to approve the letter, which supports adding the 4,000-acre Walker Ridge area, already owned by the Bureau of Land Management, to the 330,000 national monument, created in July 2015 by President Barack Obama.
In their memo, Crandell and Sabatier explain, “Walker Ridge is an important part of the area and adds to the beauty, diversity, and recreational opportunities that the National Monument already features.”
The Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument Expansion Act was created by Congressman John Garamendi with the help of the nonprofit conservation group Tuleyome.
“We bring this letter of support for the Expansion Act for the board's consideration, believing that this expansion will enhance the opportunities that this National Monument brings to our county both for conserving our precious surroundings and for the economic advantages that a National Monument destination brings to local jurisdictions,” Crandell and Sabatier wrote.
