LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Board of Supervisors this week will consider approving that the county’s former juvenile hall be used for homeless housing for another six months, discuss extending Friday county office closures and also will consider an easement agreement that would allow Pacific Gas and Electric to put electrical equipment on the lakeshore in Lucerne.
The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3.
The supervisors will meet virtually only, as the Registrar of Voters Office will be using the board chambers for elections activities.

On Tuesday, the board will get a report from the County Space Use Committee regarding extending the use of the former county juvenile hall facility for a temporary support shelter targeting Lake County’s chronically homeless population through March 31, 2021.
In July, the board approved an agreement with the Butte County-based Elijah House to run a sheltering operation at the site, as Lake County News has reported.
That approval came after the board’s receipt on June 23 of a County’s Space Use Committee report supporting the building’s use for that purpose for six months, with further consideration to take place regarding the former juvenile hall’s long-term use.
In her report to the board, County Administrative Officer Carol Huchingson said, “Based on a recent update to the committee by Behavioral Health Director Todd Metcalf, the committee is extending its support of temporary use for a period of 9-months, to March 31, 2021.”
In another untimed item, the board will consider a resolution extending Friday closures of county offices through March 31, 2021, in light of COVID-19 and expected effects of the 2020-21 flu season.
In an item on the board’s consent agenda, it is considering a resolution authorizing and approving an easement deed granting Pacific Gas and Electric an easement to install a pre-installed interconnection hub at 6325 Highway 20 in Lucerne.
The site, which is located on the lakeshore, at the site of the former community clubhouse and a public beach, is proposed for the installation of electrical generation equipment as part of a microgeneration grid during future public safety power shutoff events.
PG&E would pay the county $9,200 for the permanent easement, with the agreement to allow it to purchase more of the property.
This is the first time the proposal has been made public. It has so far not been proposed to the Lucerne Town Hall or the Lake County Planning Commission.
At 9:35 a.m., Dr. Gary Pace will update the board on COVID-19 in the county.
The full agenda follows.
