On Tuesday, the board will consider a resolution accepting a 620-acre bequest to the county from the John T. Klaus 1994 Trust for the creation of a park along East Highway 20 in Clearlake Oaks.
The proposal was first taken to the board in July, as Lake County News has reported.
The trust also includes dedicated financial resources. Public Services Director Lars Ewing’s July report to the board said the trustee had reported assets including bank accounts totaling approximately $1.5 million, appraisal values of properties owned by the trust and not yet sold amounting to approximately $650,000, and recurring annual lease income of approximately $127,000 from a property in Livermore that has been leased to an oil change business for more than 20 years.
Conditions on the donation include naming the park “John T. Klaus Park,” with one-third of the land on the rear of the property to be reserved as a refuge for wildlife and the rest of the park to be developed for sporting and athletic activities for youth.
In other business, the board will review a resolution from last month authorizing temporary reduction of in-person services to the public due to COVID-19 pandemic conditions and also will review its temporary closure of the Board of Supervisors chambers for in-person meetings.
Also on Tuesday, the board will get its weekly update from Public Health Officer Dr. Gary Pace at 9:06 a.m.
