Big Bear Lake, CA — The City Council of Big Bear Lake convenes for their first regular meeting since the big storms (at which time they ratified a proclamation of a local state of emergency). This evening’s meeting, to be held at 6:30pm in Hofert Hall in the Big Bear Lake Civic Center, will include a Public Hearing, during which time funding recommendations for Community Development Block Grants will be reviewed before Council makes their funding decisions, to be submitted to San Bernardino County.
