Cobb Area Council (“CAC”)

The Cobb Area Council (“CAC”) was formed in the summer of 2016 as a Municipal Advisory Council, to support and advise the Lake County Board of Supervisors (“BOS”) on the specific needs of the Cobb Area.  Following the Valley Fire of 2015, it became apparent that the Cobb communities needed a forum for public discussion, with the capacity to bring urgent needs to the county government.  On June 9, 2016, the community voted unanimously to pass the resolution to create the CAC. A few weeks later, the BOS approved the resolution, as well.
