In January, the board had given staff approval to finalize plans to swap a 15.5-acre county-owned property at 15837 18th Ave. in Clearlake for the Lakeport National Guard Armory at 1431 Hoyt Ave., which is being vacated after the guard unit consolidated with another one, as Lake County News has reported.
The state would have the Clearlake property developed with 100 new affordable housing units while the county plans to use the former armory as the new headquarters for the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, which currently is headquartered in an aging facility at 1220 Martin St. in Lakeport.
At Tuesday’s meeting, Deputy County Administrative Officer Susan Parker reviewed the board’s previous actions and updated the supervisors on the actions taken by the planning commissions for the county and the city of Clearlake to find the plan to be in conformance with the county and city general plans, respectively.
Parker said the board first needed to declare the Clearlake property surplus and its intent to exchange the property with the state by adopting two proposed resolutions.
The second action was to authorize County Administrative Officer Carol Huchingson to negotiate, execute and implement the property exchange agreement with the state of California, Parker said.
“This looks very straightforward,” said Board Chair Bruno Sabatier.
Sabatier asked if it was the final step or if there would be other potential steps in the near future for the swap.
Parker said the county was waiting for a draft exchange agreement from the state to review and negotiate.
Sabatier followed up by asking if Parker had a timeline for when those things would happen. Parker said they didn’t know.
Sheriff Brian Martin thanked everyone for their efforts.
“It’s a long project. We’re not done with it yet,” he said, noting that there are a lot of moving parts.
Clearlake City Manager Alan Flora echoed Martin’s sentiments, adding that he appreciated the collaboration with the county on the project. Sabatier, in turn, thanked Flora for his efforts and those of the city planning commission.
The board unanimously approved the necessary resolutions.
