Memorandum
Date: 01/14/2020
To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Supervisor Bruno Sabatier & Supervisor Moke Simon
Subject: (a) Consideration of Resolution Declaring County Property Surplus and Authorizing the Sale of a Portion of the Property to the Lake County Transit Authority (LTA), and (b) Consideration of Letter of Support for LTA’s Bus Depot Project
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The County has owned a property on 7175 South Center Drive in the City of Clearlake. The Lake Transit Authority has had an interest in purchasing a portion of this property in order to develop the land which includes a bus depot. The current bus depot is located in the parking lot between Big 5 and Walmart and is not a safe or adequate bus depot to meet the needs of Lake Transit Authority.
The County has surveyed and split off the portion of the property that is wanted by the Lake Transit Authority for the development of a bus depot. Via the surveyor’s report, a legal description is not currently available until an APN number is created for this new parcel that has been split from the original parcel. The Assessor’s office is in the process of getting this completed.
Lake Transit Authority is working on a grant to obtain the funds needed to begin construction of the bus depot. The grant application is due 1/17/2020. Therefore, a letter of support is also being offered for the Board’s consideration and approval to show the collaboration and support from the community within their grant application. This, mixed with the intent to sell to Lake Transit Authority, will provide what they need to complete their grant and submit it timely.
