LOWER LAKE – Public Services Director Kim K. Clymire hosted the third of a series of meetings on June 10 to begin developing a Mt. Konocti Master Management Plan at the Lower Lake Schoolhouse Museum.

A group of more than 30 individuals, with varied recreational interests attended and a spirited, interactive, discussion was held that allowed everyone present to discuss and list their ideas for the development of the mountain’s master management plan.

Representatives from the Lake County Sierra Club, Boy Scouts of America, Habematolel Pomo, Elem Tribe and the general public were in attendance.

When complete, which will probably take one to two years, the plan will govern the park’s use,

conservation and preservation.

Types of use, policies and procedures, resource and fire management plans and more were discussed, as well as, restrictions that come with the sale of the property, including day use only, except by special arrangements, no motorized vehicles, except by authorized use, and preservation and conservation of the mountain.

County staff anticipates having the basics of the master management plan decided on prior to opening the trails to the public late this year or early next year.

An additional meeting is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, June 24, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., at the Lower Lake Museum.

The final two meetings will take place Wednesday, Aug. 12 and 26 in Lakeport from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Board of Supervisors Chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
