KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The Kelseyville Unified School District Board of Trustees on Tuesday will discuss two proposals submitted to the district for the historic Kelsey Creek Schoolhouse.
The meeting will take place beginning at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 20, in the board room at the district office, 4410 Konocti Road.
On the agenda is a discussion and review of the applications submitted to the district by two local nonprofits in response to the district’s request for proposals for the donation of the Kelsey Creek School building.
Built in 1871, the building is located at 3505 Finley Road East, where it was moved in 1882.
In April, the district’s board of trustees voted to donate the building to a nonprofit organization, following up on May 21 by approving the request for proposal process developed by Superintendent Dave McQueen that nonprofits must follow to acquire the schoolhouse, as Lake County News has reported.
The district had a 60-day submission period which ended on July 31.
Two proposals have been submitted. The proposers are the Lake County Historical Society and the Lucerne Area Revitalization Association.
The historical society’s plan is found in pages 197 to 204 of the agenda packet published below. The group proposes to dismantle the building and remove it to the Ely Stage Stop.
The Lucerne Area Revitalization Association proposes to keep the building in its current location, where it has remained for 137 years, fully renovate it and use it for events. The association’s plan is in the packet, pages 136 to 196.
Superintendent McQueen said the board wants to discuss the proposals and ask questions of the two nonprofits, with no decision expected to be made on Tuesday.
