LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Board of Supervisors this week will discuss an agreement to help pay for a school resource officer position at Kelseyville Unified, lease negotiations at Lampson Field for a new air ambulance service and an update on a Clearlake Oaks sheriff's substation location.
The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 22, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
In an untimed item, the board will consider a proposed memorandum of understanding between the county and the Kelseyville Unified School District that will reestablish a school resource officer position.
School safety and the presence of school resource officers to help protect students and staff has become a topic of renewed concern in the wake of last month's deadly school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
The police departments in Clearlake and Lakeport have had active school resource officer programs over the last several years, but there has not recently been such a position for county schools.
The proposed memorandum would involve the district and county sharing the costs to cover the position.
The Kelseyville Unified Board of Trustees discussed the district resource officer position at its meeting Jan. 15, when sheriff's office staff made a presentation to the board.
In a discuss timed for 9:15 a.m., the board will consider giving staff direction regarding lease negotiations between the county of Lake and Air Methods for air ambulance services at Lampson Field.
At 9:30 a.m., the board will hear recommendations from the County Space Committee regarding establishing a sheriff’s substation in Clearlake Oaks.
The committee is proposing that lease negotiations begin on both a property on Shady Lane that the sheriff wants to purchase and a location at the Big Oak Shopping Center.
Also on Tuesday's agenda, the board will discuss the county's proposed legislative priorities for this year and amendments to the county's construction management policy; consider a request to temporarily close the old Middletown Library in order to move into the new Middletown Library; take up the sheriff's request to increase undercover fund appropriations from $5,000 to $25,000; and supervisors will get an update on the engineering study being performed for the Middle Creek Project water rights application.
The full agenda follows.
