Department reports
The board unanimously approved a $60,000 agreement between Lassen County and Housing Tools, LLC. to provide services related to facilitating the development of housing and expansion of housing-related services.

Information for the board
Egan updated the board on the developments with the Colwest housing project at the old hospital. At the last meeting, the board directed the county administrative officer to sign an agreement with Colwest after the city had issued a building permit for the project. Egan said he checked with the city, and city staff informed him they had just received the plans last week. He said the city was reviewing the plans and that process might take another two weeks to complete.
