MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer
DATE: February 27, 2018
SUBJECT: (a) Consideration of staff report on the status of the Lake County Courthouse Construction Project, and (b) Consideration of appointment of the County Administrative Officer or her designee and the Public Works Director to serve as the negotiating team for the possible sale of the two County-owned parcels at 934 and 946 Bevins Court in Lakeport
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Progress on the long-awaited Lake County Courthouse construction project has been minimal over the past year. However, recently State officials have expressed that a swapping of properties could improve the likelihood the project will move forward.
With this in mind, I have been in communication with the Lakeport City Manager and the CEO of Lake County Tribal Health (LCTH) regarding our properties on Bevins Court. LCTH has expressed interest in purchasing the County and City-owned properties on Bevins Court for future development of LCTH operations. LCTH has also expressed an interest in swapping the property it owns on the corner of Bevins Street and Bevins Court with the Court-owned property on Lakeport Boulevard near Vista Point. As you may be aware, the Court’s planned project near Vista Point came in over budget and a swap may improve the feasibility of the Courthouse project. However, to make the swap, LCTC would need to acquire the County and City-owned properties in order to move forward with their needed expansion.
Supervisor Scott has expressed her interest in having this discussion with the full Board.
