The commission discussed the Public Services Department’s parks improvement project, which involves 14 parks, during its brief meeting on Thursday, Oct. 27.
“This is kind of a fun project,” said Associate Planner Eric Porter.
In March, Caltrans announced that its Clean California Local Grant Program awarded $1,358,545 to the county of Lake for the Lake County Beautification Initiative Project, which includes a countywide marketing outreach and educational campaign, as Lake County News has reported.
Originally, the project was to have included 15 parks, however, Triangle Park in Nice was removed from the list.
“Triangle Park was removed from the scope of work because that property is not owned by the county of Lake, rather it is state highway right of way and the county maintains the property through a recurring encroachment permit to maintain existing landscaping,” Public Services Director Lars Ewing told Lake County News.
At the Oct. 27 meeting, Porter told the planning commissioners that they were only evaluating compliance with the general plan, the ninth chapter of which is dedicated to open space, conservation and recreation, specific to parks.
“The improvements are relatively minor,” and are taking place at parks that are already developed, Porter said.
Those improvements will include new bathrooms at two of the parks, new security systems at three other parks, as well as new signs, benches, trees, shade structures and trash receptacles, he reported.
Porter said that, in addition to evaluating them for general plan compliance, planning staff had looked at the individual parks’ compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, concluding that all can be exempted under existing facilities due to the small improvement proposed for each park.
Community Development Director Mireya Turner told the commission that Public Services hasn’t selected the tree species yet but will look for native, shade-generating trees.
At staff’s recommendation, the commission unanimously approved the project’s general plan conformity and a categorical exemption under CEQA.
The parks included in the project and their planned improvements are listed below.
CLEARLAKE OAKS
Clearlake Oaks boat launch: Two trash receptacles, two signs/murals, eight new trees, one drinking fountain, two concrete benches and one security system.

The agency said that it learned of the scam on Wednesday.
Police said an as-yet unidentified individual is impersonating Lakeport Police Sgt. Victor Rico with the intent to commit fraud.
The person called a victim stating he was Rico and that he had an arrest warrant for them, police reported.
Police said the scammer told the victim that they needed to bring cash money to an address to clear the warrant.
“Sgt. Victor Rico does work for our agency but he nor any other Lakeport Police Officers made this call and would not make calls like this,” the Lakeport Police Department said in a statement. “We do not call people and tell them we have warrants for them or are arresting them and ask them to bring cash to a location. These circumstances are concerning with a subject wanting a victim to bring cash to an address.”
The police department said it has received similar recent reports of individuals identifying themselves as local law enforcement and calling victims threatening them with arrest and attempting to scam money.
“Law enforcement does not operate in this manner. Do not engage with these callers or give them any personal information,” the Lakeport Police Department said.
Those who have experienced a similar call from someone purporting to be a Lakeport Police officer can report it to the agency at 707-263-5491.

The Lakeport Economic Development Strategic Plan includes the recommendation that the city develop an arts in public places program.
The city is in the process of developing an arts and culture plan, in coordination with Lakeport Main Street Association and Lake County Arts Council.
The work of artists is a powerful resource for community development, education, health care, protection of THE commonwealth and other democratic public purposes.
The arts and culture plan will be a community-based planning effort to identify ways of ensuring relevance and sustainability for the arts, while fostering the next generation of artists.
The objectives of the plan are to uplift and celebrate local artists, stimulate a creative economy, make the Lakeport area an arts destination, support the work of arts groups and engage the community.
Community members are asked to contribute a few minutes of time by participating in this survey; it will be greatly appreciated.
The survey may be viewed at this link.
This survey will close by midnight on Nov. 17.
For more information, contact Victor Fernandez, associate planner, at 707-263-5615, Extension 203,
