Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Community Development Block Grant
DISCUSSION:
Department staff is requesting permission to release the lien on the Vector Rehabilitation, Inc. (Vector) property located at 3289 Edgewood Road in Eureka. In 2012 the county received Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to assist Vector Rehabilitation to update the swimming pool at that location. In 2010 Easter Seals closed the therapy pool and subsequently sold it to Vector. The pool was in disrepair and this grant allowed them to repair and reopen the pool.
CDBG requires that a lien be placed on all public facilities to ensure that federal funds are used for the same public service activity for a minimum of five years. The lien, in the amount of $680,000, was placed on the property August 1, 2012. The facility continued to operate at this site until closed in March 2020 due to COVID-19, which is more than the five years. Ms. Eastman, Vector's Chief Executive Officer has requested that the lien be removed. Since they intend to be back in full service as soon as possible this would allow flexibility to take a line of credit on the property and assist in re-opening the therapy pool.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There will be minimal staff costs, less than $150, to facilitate the reconveyance of the Deed of Trust.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board's Strategic Framework by creating opportunities for improved safety and health .
