LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Board of Supervisors this week will receive bids to purchase the historic Lucerne Hotel and consider continuing several local emergency proclamations.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 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 https://countyoflake.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx . Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.
In an item time for 10 a.m., the board will hold a public bid opening and consider bids submitted to purchase the Lucerne Hotel, which the county has owned since 2010.
The 90-year-old building has a minimum bid requirement for $2.5 million, according to county documents.
The board voted July 24 to declare the building surplus property and put it up for sale.
Also on Tuesday, the board will consider continuing proclamations for local emergencies for the Mendocino Complex, Pawnee fire, Sulphur fire, Clayton fire and the atmospheric river storm, and will get an update from staff on the Mendocino complex response and recovery. Those items are time for between 9:11 and 9:15 a.m.
In other business, in an untimed item, the board will consider a resolution adopting the position of the county of Lake regarding the future of Lake Pillsbury and the Potter Valley Project on the Eel River.
