Board approves formation of 7‑11 committee to review possible surplus of historic McClaskey Adult Center
Summary
The board authorized staff to establish a 7‑11 surplus‑property committee to study potential surplus designation and future uses of the underutilized McClaskey site at 5241 J Street; staff will return with proposed committee membership for board approval.
Trustees voted to create a 7‑11 committee to review whether the McClaskey Adult Center at 5241 J Street should be declared surplus. Nathaniel Browning presented historical context showing the facility originally opened in 1921 as El Dorado Elementary, later converted to adult education and now lightly used.
Browning said the site currently serves roughly 100 adult‑education students and that Charles A. Jones Education Center can absorb McClaskey—s programs. He noted community interest in the property and a Preservation Sacramento effort seeking federal historic designation for the original building.
The board asked staff to return at a later meeting (target February) with a proposed committee composition compliant with state law (7 to 11 members representing required categories). Members emphasized the need to ensure continuity of services and transit access for students if programs move.
Why it matters: Surplusing public property can lead to redevelopment, sales or long‑term leases and often requires local engagement and legal compliance through a 7‑11 committee process required by state law.
Provenance: Proposal presented at 02:42:55; board approved creation of committee and will return with recommended membership.
