LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday is expected to accept a resolution to create a new town hall to replace the Lucerne Area Town Hall.

At 11:15 a.m., the board is scheduled to consider a resolution rescinding the 2017 formation of the Middle Region Town Hall and the 2018 amendment to change it to the Lucerne Area Town Hall in order to fulfill Supervisor EJ Crandell’s plan of establishing the Central Region Town Hall.
The board discussed the matter late last month. Crandell has not taken it to the community of Lucerne for a discussion.
The proposed resolution would include all of the 95458 zip code — not just the Lucerne community growth boundaries.
It also would allow nonresident property owners to be seated on the new board, a proposal which the Lucerne Area Town Hall’s members had specifically rejected in bylaws accepted last year both by that group and by the Board of Supervisors.
What’s changed since then is Crandell’s claims that he’s been contacted by community members who want to be included but haven’t been because of the limits.
In that time the Lucerne Area Town Hall also passed a resolution condemning a plan to put a homeless youth housing facility in the Lucerne Hotel, a plan for which Crandell’s wife has publicly advocated.
The full agenda follows.
