In an untimed item, the board will consider a request to appoint a team of county staff to negotiate the purchase of the Kelseyville Senior Center, more recently known as the Kelseyville Event Center, located at 5245 Third St.
A memo to the board from County Administrative Officer Susan Parker explains that the county has received $12.5 million in funds as a result of the American Rescue Plan Act, which President Joe Biden signed into law in March 2021.
The county ARPA Committee has evaluated community needs and their potential fit with the intent of the law and the U.S. Treasury’s guidance for the funds, Parker said. “District 5 Supervisor, Jessica Pyska, brought forth purchase and remodel of the Kelseyville Senior Center for the Committee’s consideration.”
Parker is asking for herself and Stephen Carter, her newly appointed assistant county administrative officer, to be appointed to the negotiating team. “After completing the negotiation process, the Negotiating Team will present the tentative purchase agreement for consideration and approval by the Board of Supervisors in the course of a regularly scheduled and open meeting.”
The board also is scheduled to have a closed session discussion regarding the property negotiations.
In response to questions from Lake County News about the proposed purchase, county staff reported that if the county is successful in purchasing and renovating the Kelseyville Senior Center, use of the facility will be mixed.
“We anticipate many current uses either continuing or being enhanced with renovation of the space: senior-focused services; hosting community group meetings; use of the commercial kitchen, which would be refreshed, for cottage vendors. The space could likewise be used as a Community Resource Center site during a PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff events, or a venue for wildfire recovery community meetings, for example,” the county statement said.
“The County is cognizant more robust library services can be offered in the community of Kelseyville. We anticipate exploring some ongoing provision of services, and this could also be a location where mobile library events are held,” the statement continued.
County staff said public input and the board’s collective discussion will further clarify the position of the county on the matter.
In other business, at 9:45 a.m. the board will consider an ordinance adopting the California Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.
At 10:30 a.m., the supervisors will receive an update on drought conditions and Clear Lake.
