Earlier in the week, Lakeport and Lake County announced they’ve developed a draft sales tax agreement for the City Council and Board of Supervisors to jointly consider next month, taking an important step forward in the prosed annexation of the South Lakeport area. Seen to be the most lucrative commercial area in county jurisdiction, the annexation would be of about 137 acres, composed of 50 parcels adjacent to South Main Street and Soda Bay Road. A joint meeting on the sales tax draft is scheduled for January 11th at 5:30 pm in the City Council Chambers.
