LAKEPORT, Calif. – This week the Board of Supervisors will get an update on the sheriff’s plans for a Clearlake Oaks substation and decide whether or not to accept donations of paper subdivision lots on the Northshore.
The meeting will take place beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 11, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. The meeting will be broadcast live on TV8.
At 9:45 a.m. the board will get an update on the Clearlake Oaks subdivision and give county staff direction on how to proceed.
In October, the board directed that a county-owned property on Acorn Street in Clearlake Oaks be used for the short-term as a new substation, rather that pursuing the purchase of a building that needs renovation on Shady Lane, which Sheriff Frank Rivero favored.
The board chose that location after the manager of the Big Oak Shopping Center on Highway 20 withdrew his offer of $1 a month rent, saying that Rivero had insulted and mischaracterized his offer, as Lake County News has reported.
Deputy Administrative Officer Alan Flora’s report to the board said that, based on board direction, on Nov. 6 the County Administrative Office made contact with the sheriff’s office and Public Services to coordinate the remodeling and occupying of the new substation.
On Nov. 29 sheriff’s staff notified the County Administrative Office that the space was too small and it would not be using the facility, planning instead to stay in the existing substation at the Lake County Superior Court’s Clearlake branch, Flora reported.
However, that location has problems; Flora said that county staff has been in negotiations with the state Administrative Office of the Courts, which is planning to take over the entire building’s use. The new agreement would necessitate relocating the substation prior to the end of February.
“Staff seeks your Board’s direction on a resolution of these issues,” Flora wrote.
In other business, at 9:15 a.m., the board will consider giving staff direction regarding the county’s acceptance of donated paper subdivision lots and their future use for county trails along the Northshore.
Also on the agenda are untimed items including proclamations of appreciation for Assemblyman Wes Chesbro who formerly represented Lake County in the California Assembly and for his aide Ruth Valenzuela for her years of service; consideration of accepting a donation from the Friends of the Middletown Gibson Library of shelving, furniture and computers for the new Middletown Library; and a proposed agreement for a needs assessment study of the Lake County Jail.
