Susan Jen, director of the Health Leadership Network of Lake County, told the board she hopes to bring the Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH) program to Lake County’s schools in the fall. Also in the works are plans to promote physical fitness by developing a “community recreation district” that will include Lakeport and Clearlake, and to open school grounds to parents and students after hours for sports, dance or yoga, among other activities. In other business, the board approved four leases for property in Lucerne’s Harbor Village, adjacent to Lucerne Harbor Park, to be turned into an artist colony in an effort to draw tourism to Lucerne. The Lake County Public Services Department has worked to refurbish the four cottages during the past two years and still has some “finishing touches” to make, according to Lake County Redevelopment Agency Deputy Director Eric Seely, including sidewalk, landscaping and an irrigation system.
