Memorandum
Date: May 18, 2021
To: The Honorable Bruno Sabatier, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Lars Ewing, Public Services Director
Subject: Appoint the Public Services Director and Public Works Director, or their designees, to serve as the negotiating team relative to the purchase of property for the Eastlake Landfill Expansion Project
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The County’s project to expand the Eastlake landfill in order to accommodate continued local waste disposal is progressing according to schedule. Work completed to date includes a site suitability analysis, environmental and technical studies, preliminary design, a CEQA evaluation and determination, and the preparation of the primary permitting document.
The preferred design alternative requires the acquisition of approximately 12 acres of privately owned property adjacent to the landfill. To facilitate that effort the County policy requires your Board to appoint a negotiating team. Staff is recommending that the negotiating team be comprised of the Public Services Director and the Public Works Director, or their designees.
