After donor shortfall, Lake County supervisors agree to cover second drone show's $20,000 cost
Summary
Calpine committed $20,000 for a south-county America 250 drone show; the board said outreach for a second private sponsor failed and supervisors (including the presenter and Supervisor Sabatier) agreed to split the other $20,000 so both shows could proceed.
County officials told the board they sought private sponsors for two drone shows; Calpine agreed to fund one show with a $20,000 donation, and efforts to find a donor for the second show were unsuccessful.
The presenter said he and Supervisor Sabatier "agreed that we would share the cost of the Lakeport shows so that we could still have two shows" and that they planned to cover the second $20,000. The board approved acceptance of Calpine's donation and noted the supervisors’ commitment to preserve both events.
The transcript did not specify from which accounts or sources the supervisors' shared $20,000 would be drawn; that detail was not provided and is recorded here as not specified.
