Mayor Chau says county does not plan to close County home; Diocese study shows no evidence of human remains
Summary
Mayor Chau told the council he was assured county officials do not intend to close the County home and that a Diocese study found no evidence of human remains in the area proposed for development.
Mayor Chau told the council that, after speaking with several county officials, he was "assured that the County did not intend to get rid of the County home" and that efforts are under way to find an operator to assume stewardship of the facility rather than closing it.
He said the bid language emphasizes maintaining the facility as a county home and retaining employees. Mayor Chau added that the Diocese completed a study examining historical data for the site under consideration and that "the section where they wish to build does not have any evidence of human remains." The mayor framed these updates as an effort to keep residents informed about the status and potential next steps for the County home property.
Council took no formal action and did not vote on the matter during the meeting. The mayor characterized the county's current approach as seeking a viable steward to preserve facility operations and staff.
