Memorandum
Date: July 13, 2021
To: The Honorable Bruno Sabatier, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Denise Pomeroy, Health Services Director
Subject: Approve Amendment Four to the Agreement between the County of Lake and the Kelseyville Motel for COVID-19 Emergency Isolation Housing and Authorize the Board Chair to Sign
Executive Summary:
The Kelseyville Motel is currently under contract with County of Lake to provide a block of rooms available for residents who are subject to quarantine and/or isolation orders due to COVID-19 and may not have a safe place to shelter. The original Agreement was for a 5-room block with a rate of $83.00 per night plus tax, paid whether occupied or not.
The first amendment to the Agreement extended the term of the Agreement by four (4) additional months, and proportionately increased the maximum amount payable under the agreement.
The second amendment extended the term until June 30, 2021; or the period of exigent or emergency circumstances as may be established by local, state or federal proclamation, whichever is shorter. Additionally the second amendment increased the maximum amount payable under the agreement to $150,000.
The third Amendment decreased the contracted block of rooms from five down to two whether occupied or not, with an option to rent additional rooms at the same rate if needed. This decrease was requested because the room block was being underutilized at that time, due to Lake County COVID-19 cases decreasing, and COVID-19 vaccinations becoming readily available to our community.
This fourth Amendment extends the term of the Agreement through October 31, 2021, and raises the maximum compensation of the agreement to ensure funding through this extended term. Your Board’s approval is requested as a proactive measure in light of the COVID-19 Delta variant being confirmed in our community, and, in response to the projected 2021 fire season, ensuring that Lake County residents who may be subject to COVID-19 quarantine and/or isolation orders have a safe place to do so, even in the event of evacuations.
This Agreement with Kelseyville Motel and all Amendments associated have been funded through COVID-19 grants from the State of California Department of Public Health (CDPH). This Fourth Amendment is fully funded through the COVID-19 ELC Enhancing Detection Expansion Grant.
