LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — On Monday, Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-04) announced that three projects in Lake County will receive a total of $5,576,031 in funding from the government funding agreement that will be considered by Congress later this week.
Rep. Thompson secured $14,992,105 total for projects in California’s Fourth District.
“Community Project Funding requests allow our region to receive funding from the federal government for projects that will help improve our communities and invest in local priorities,” said Thompson. “I worked with partners in Lake County to identify the projects that would most benefit from funding and improve our community. I look forward to seeing this funding signed into law so these projects can receive this funding and head towards completion.”
The projects in Lake County are:
• $4,116,279 for the Clearlake Burns Valley Sports Complex.
• $959,752 for the In-Lake Water Treatment System at Clear Lake.
• $500,000 for the Big Valley Fish Habitat Improvement and Groundwater Recharge Project.
Clearlake Burns Valley Sports Complex
The Clearlake Burns Valley Sports Complex project will build a community sports and recreation center, expanding the community’s access to sports and recreational amenities and establishing the city as a destination for events and tournaments.
At present no youth sports programs can have tournaments in economically disadvantaged Lake County due to a lack of facilities.
This project will rectify that situation and drive new visitor spending in Lake County. It will bring in 40,000 annual visitors to the city, resulting in 10,000 hotel room stays and bringing in $8.6 million per year to the local economy.
In-Lake Water Treatment System
The In-Lake Water Treatment System at Clear Lake project supports the Clean Water Act by preventing the pollution of Clear Lake’s drinking water at the source.
It uses an oxygenation system to combat the growth of harmful algal blooms in Clear Lake before the water goes into the water treatment plant, reducing in-plant treatment costs and preventing the formation of toxins that cannot otherwise be removed and would pass untreated into the drinking water of Clear Lake residents.
Big Valley Fish Habitat Improvement and Groundwater Recharge Project
The Big Valley Fish Habitat Improvement and Groundwater Recharge Project encompasses two sub-projects: 1) The development of the Adobe Creek Conjunctive Use Project and 2) the rehabilitation of the Kelsey Creek Detention Structure.
Both projects work in tandem to improve fish habitat and aquifer recharge throughout a priority groundwater basin, Big Valley Groundwater Basin.
Specifically, these projects will enhance summer flow and riparian habitat in Adobe Creek, Highland Creek and Kelsey Creek ultimately improving fish spawning habitat, especially as it relates to the state-listed threatened Clear Lake hitch.
Thompson represents California’s Fourth Congressional District, which includes all or part of Lake, Napa, Solano, Sonoma and Yolo counties.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — A Lakeport man struck by a vehicle during a February hit and run has died of his injuries.
The California Highway Patrol’s Clear Lake Area office confirmed the death of 27-year-old Omar Romero of Lakeport.
On the night of Feb. 14 Romero was walking along Highway 20 east of Bridge Arbor Drive near Upper Lake when he was hit by a 2007 Ford Escape SUV driven by Oscar Rosas, 45, of Clearlake.
After the crash, Rosas fled the scene. He turned himself in the following day and was arrested for felony hit and run.
Authorities said Romero suffered blunt force trauma and a broken neck in the crash.
Sgt. Joel Skeen told Lake County News that the CHP is still recommending the felony hit and run charge against Rosas to the District Attorney’s Office.
“We are still conducting the investigation and there may be other charges in addition if the criteria is met,” Skeen said.

UPDATE: Police said he was located early March 5.
CLEARLAKE, Calif. — The Clearlake Police Department is asking for the community’s help in locating a missing man.
The agency is seeking Thomas Earl Emery, 55.
He is a white male adult, 5 feet 8 inches tall and 160 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes.
Police said Emery was last seen wearing a gray hoodie with a checkered shirt. He was possibly en route to Colusa County.
If you have any information regarding his whereabouts please contact the Clearlake Police Department at 707-994-8251, Extension 1 for dispatch.
On Monday, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced that the California Department of Justice’s Missing Persons DNA Program, or MPDP, has identified over 2,000 missing persons since its establishment in 2001.
Attorney General Bonta also announced, with Assemblymember Stephanie Nguyen (D – Elk Grove), a new bill to ensure the DOJ will be able to continue to provide important forensic DNA services with funding through updates to Proposition 69, the “DNA Fingerprint, Unsolved Crime and Innocence Protection Act.”
Assembly Bill 3042 (AB 3042), authored by Assemblymember Nguyen and sponsored by Attorney General Bonta, would remove the sunset date from Proposition 69, the “DNA Fingerprint, Unsolved Crime and Innocence Protection Act.”
Proposition 69 directs funding from criminal fines to support essential crime-solving DNA programs both at DOJ and local law enforcement agencies.
“I am very proud of the important work that is done in our Missing Persons DNA Program and our Bureau of Forensic Services,” said Bonta. “While this milestone is not a celebration, it is important to take a moment to acknowledge what our team has accomplished in the process of bringing closure to the families that have been impacted by tragedy. Nothing can bring a loved one back, but we hope this helps them find peace. This program is just one of the essential services provided by our Bureau of Forensic Services. The Bureau receives crucial funding through Proposition 69, and AB 3024 would ensure that Proposition 69 remains in place to support our efforts to solve crime through forensic services. I want to thank Assemblymember Nguyen and our law enforcement partners for all their work toward this important goal.”
“I would never feel safe knowing someone who has harmed me or my loved ones are still out there,” said Assemblymember Stephanie Nguyen. “I am proud to author AB 3042 in collaboration with Attorney General Bonta to continue key funding to better support public safety in our communities as well as exonerating the innocent.”
Voters approved Proposition 69 in November 2004. Proposition 69 specifically directs money from criminal fines to be allocated towards funding the CAL-DNA Data Bank program which helps to solve violent crimes both at local public crime laboratories and within the DOJ itself using the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System, or CODIS.
In another provision of Proposition 69, the CAL-DNA Data Bank also assists with the identification of missing and unidentified persons, including abducted children, using separate Missing Person CODIS databases. Historically, DOJ has received more than $74 million through Prop. 69 over a span of two decades.
However, this proposition included a sunset date that would terminate funding collection after twenty years. AB 3042 seeks to eliminate this sunset date altogether and establish a steady source of revenue outside of the general fund that will support DNA testing programs at both state and local levels.
DOJ's Missing Persons DNA Program conducts autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) DNA testing, Y-STR (Y-chromosome, male-specific) testing, and mitochondrial DNA testing related to missing and unidentified person investigations.
It compares DNA from missing persons and unidentified human remains with DNA from personal articles belonging to reported missing persons and DNA from relatives of missing persons.
The MPDP services are provided at no cost to investigating law enforcement agencies and coroner’s offices. Parents and other biological relatives of missing persons are neither given an incentive to provide a DNA sample, nor will they be coerced or compelled to provide a sample.
Further, DNA samples from relatives of missing persons are only searched against the DNA samples from missing persons and unidentified human remains to identify their missing relatives. They are never searched against any criminal or offender DNA databases.
The DNA profiles from missing persons and unidentified human remains are uploaded to the database for searching and comparison with the DNA samples from missing person cases throughout the nation, not just in California.
