LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Board of Supervisors this week is expected to consider a resolution declaring the intent to sell the Lucerne Hotel, which a group wants to buy for a new college, and will continue its discussion on the establishment of a new cannabis business tax.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, July 24, 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 https://countyoflake.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx . Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.
In an untimed item, the board will consider a resolution declaring the intent to sell the Lucerne Hotel, which that same resolution will declare as surplus property.
The county has owned the building since 2010, and last month selected a proposal from the Romero Institute which is seeking to purchase the building to house New Paradigm College.
The county’s minimum bid price for the property is $2.5 million, according to county documents. Sealed proposals and oral bids will be received and considered during the board’s meeting on Aug. 14.
