On Tuesday, the board will consider an agreement with Dewberry Architects Inc. for architectural/engineering services for the remodel of the former California Army National Guard Armory, located at 1431 Hoyt Ave. next to the Lake County Jail.
The contract, not to exceed $247,926, will be part of the work to convert the former armory into the Lake County Sheriff’s Office’s new headquarters.
Currently, the agency is headquartered in an aging facility at 1220 Martin St. in Lakeport.
Last year, the county and the state completed a land swap in which the county received the armory and traded to the state a vacant 15.5-acre property at 15837 18th Ave. in Clearlake.
The Clearlake property is now being developed for low-income housing.
In other business, the supervisors also will consider raising the maximum monthly county contribution of insurance coverage for each employee enrolled in a county sponsored group medical, dental, vision insurance plan.
The board also will hear a presentation from staff on the Lake County Hiring and Diversity Report for 2022 and consider a proposal to draft a request for a proposal to hire a diversity and inclusion consultant to help develop training, goals, and a plan to improve diversity and inclusion within Lake County’s workforce.
