LAKEPORT, Calif. – County administrative staff this week is asking the Board of Supervisors to consider the possibility of putting the Holiday Harbor marina in Nice up for sale due to the recovering economy.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, July 7, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
The meeting can be watched live on Channel 8 and online at http://www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Board_of_Supervisors/calendar.htm . Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.
In an untimed discussion, County Administrative Officer Matt Perry will take the Holiday Harbor discussion item to the board.
The county's redevelopment agency purchased Holiday Harbor, located at 3605 and 3655 Lakeshore Blvd., in 2008 as a “primary catalyst” project to spur economic activity, according to Perry's report.
While the redevelopment agency initially tried to sell the property, the “Great Recession” and the February 2012 dissolution of the redevelopment agency stalled those efforts, with the county continuing to operate the facility as a marina since then, while making some improvements, Perry said.
“Since the economy is beginning to recover and trying to maintain the property and operate the marina has stretched county resources (both staff and money), staff recommends that the County now try to sell the property,” he wrote.
Perry said the county has contracted with a Fremont-based real estate broker to develop a marketing program to help sell the property.
First, however, he said the board needs to give county staff direction on whether to sell additional public property nearby, and decide what projects should be developed on the site.
In other business, at 9:10 a.m., the board will present a proclamation commending James Hankins for life-saving efforts on June 1, and at 9:12 a.m. will hold a swearing-in ceremony for new deputies Armando Alvear II, Nicholas Leon Buell and Kalen Sage Brock-Walder.
