LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Board of Supervisors this week is set to discuss entering into an agreement with an organization for a veterans housing development.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, July 21, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
The meeting can be watched live on Channel 8 and online at http://www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Board_of_Supervisors/calendar.htm . Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.
In an untimed item, the board will consider a proposed exclusive negotiating rights agreement between the county and Veterans Housing Development Corp. to provide supportive housing for veterans and their families.
The agreement will establish a one-year negotiating period to discuss transferring two county-owned parcels located on 18th and Phillips in the city of Clearlake to the corporation for the purposes of developing an affordable, permanent supportive housing development for very low income veterans and their families, according to the report to the board from Deputy County Administrative Officer Jennifer DeHaan.
DeHaan said that it's expected that within that year Veterans Housing Development Corp. will evaluate the demand for supportive veteran housing, meet with representatives of the county and the city of Clearlake to begin the planning process, confirm zoning and use requirements, identify funding sources, and conduct any other necessary steps to continue moving forward with the development of the veterans housing facility.
She said that, at the same time, the county will work to negotiate an agreement with Veterans Housing Development Corp. for the transfer of the properties. However, she noted, “there is no obligation on behalf of the County to transfer these properties.”
In other business, in an untimed item, the board also will consider continuing a proclamation of a local emergency due to drought conditions first passed in March 2014.
An appeal of the Lake County Planning Commission's denial of a major use permit for a Dollar General store in Kelseyville that had been scheduled for the Tuesday meeting has been rescheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18.
