Lake County board backs letter of support for City of Clearlake Lakeshore Drive SS4A grant
Summary
Lake County supervisors unanimously approved a letter of support and authorized the chair to sign for the City of Clearlake's Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) implementation grant application for Lakeshore Drive.
The Lake County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a letter of support for the City of Clearlake's Lakeshore Drive safety enhancement project and authorized the chair to sign the document for inclusion in the city's SS4A (Safe Streets and Roads for All) implementation grant packet.
Why it matters: The letter aims to bolster the City of Clearlake's application for federal SS4A funding to support street, sidewalk and safety upgrades on Lakeshore Drive. County supervisors from districts that include parts of Clearlake said the application will help ongoing infrastructure and safety improvements.
Discussion and vote: Supervisors Sabatier and Owen said they were co-sponsoring the county letter because their districts include portions of the city. At the microphone, a sponsor said the city's grant packet is due “the thirteenth” and asked that the county get the signed letter back to the city promptly. A motion to approve the letter and authorize the chair to sign carried on a unanimous voice vote; no public speakers offered comment during the item.
Background: The SS4A program is a federal Safe Streets and Roads for All grant program that supports projects to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries. County staff noted the letter is intended for inclusion in the city's grant packet and will be returned to the city as soon as possible for submittal.
