City council rescinds Golden Eagle Charter School appeal amid developer changes

Mount Shasta City Council has taken significant steps to resolve ongoing legal matters and improve community safety during their recent meeting. The council addressed an appeal concerning the Golden Eagle Charter School, which has moved on from its original development site. The council voted to rescind a previous denial of an appeal from the planning commission, effectively closing the case. This decision will be sent to the appellate court, which will direct the city to finalize the resolution. The Golden Eagle Charter School has expressed no interest in pursuing further legal action, marking a decisive end to this matter.

In another key discussion, the council focused on the cleanup of the old hospital site at 201 Eugene. The property has been successfully cleaned, and the council is now preparing to return ownership to the original owner, Mr. Kenny, who had previously faced contempt findings. The council confirmed that all remaining legal fees must be settled before the property reverts to his ownership, ensuring that the site is not only clean but also ready for potential redevelopment.

Additionally, the council addressed financial issues related to the Shasta View Inn, formerly known as The Loge. The establishment has fallen behind on its Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) and associated fines, accumulating a debt of $19,202. Despite recent efforts to bring their payments current, an electronic transfer bounced, prompting the council to notify the District Attorney about potential criminal charges. The council has decided to seek a restraining order to halt business operations at the property until the financial obligations are met.

These actions reflect the council's commitment to maintaining community standards and ensuring that properties are managed responsibly. As these cases progress, the council aims to foster a safer and more accountable environment for Mount Shasta residents.
