Cobb Area Plan Kickoff– Michelle Irace, Principal Planner, Community Development Department

The County of Lake is beginning the exciting journey of updating all eight local area plans (in addition to the General Plan). CDD Staff and the planning consultant, PlaceWorks, will provide an overview presentation, answer any questions folks may have, and seek public input about the plan update.

Director of Community Development Department, Mireya Turner, presented an overview of Lake County’s General Plan and Area Plans process and timing. The Draft LAPs (Local Area Plan) should be ready between Fall 2024 and Spring 2025. The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) should be between Spring 2025 and Spring 2026. Public review and adoption should occur in the Spring-Fall of 2026, with a Noticed public hearing in the Fall of 2026.

The last Local Are Plan for the Cobb Area was in 1989. It is available on the County’s website: www.lakecountyca.gov/cdd/planning/planningdocuments

All in attendance broke into small workgroups to answer visioning questions presented by the CDD to gain input from the Cobb community. Each workgroup gathered at a table and came up with ideas which were written on large pads of paper and presented by each group to all in attendance. These written ideas were then gathered by the County to be compiled. For video of these presentations, please visit the Lake County Board of Supervisors YouTube channel or visit www.LakeCounty2050.org.

Approval of Agenda and Minutes

Motion to approve Agenda made by Chirs, 2nd by Eliot. All in favor. Agenda approved.

Discuss Goals, Strategy, and Budget to be approved at regular Board Meeting on May 18, 2023:

Last Year’s budget/finances

Chris presented spreadsheets of 2021’s budget/finances and 2022’s budget/finances. The expense budget was $10K last year. Discussed whether we are exempt from P.O. Box fee.

Priorities raised in the strategic plan

Economic development, Outreach. Suggestions: Cobb Night Out, Memorial Day weekend. “Cobb Future” contest, and “what would a day on Cobb look like?”, a photobook, information booth at the Post Office, Open House Day at the Hub, Copter 104 visits – who is CalFire outreach.

Priorities for rest of this fiscal year

Economic development, Cobbler Festival. Possible split of funds 50/50 between General Fund and Cobbler Festival Fund for the Explore Cobb Website and marketing. Cost is estimated at $1,000 per month. Consensus CAC cannot afford this; proposes approximately $500 per month, or hourly basis not-to-exceed. Chris suggested training a couple board members in WordPress. Darlene proposed that funds for the Cobb Alert Net be transferred from SSCRA to the General Fund, with these funds being restricted for CANs use, a spreadsheet accounting of funds that are within SSCRA account to be transferred was provided; all future radio sales/purchases CAC will be fiscal body.

Review committee liaisons, meeting times, fiscal responsibility to report to Cobb Area Council

Chris is now the CAC Liaison for the Economic Development Committee. The Economic Development Committee includes the Cobbler Festival Committee. The Economic Development Committee meets the 2nd Monday of each month, which will be changing soon.

Cathy remains the CAC liaison for the Communications Committee. The Communications Committee meets the 2nd Friday of each Month online from 5pm to 6:30pm.
