Tehama County Veterans Halls: Corning, Los Molinos and Red Bluff, and the Corning remodel

The halls. The county operates the veterans halls as its public assembly facilities: the Corning Veterans Memorial Hall at 1620 Solano Street, Corning (where the VSO holds Tuesday walk-ins and the Corning VFW Post 4218 its Wednesday bingo), the Los Molinos Veterans Hall at 7980 Sherwood Boulevard, Los Molinos (the hall the mobile clinic and PSPS resource centres have used), and the Red Bluff Veterans Memorial Hall at 735 Oak Street, Red Bluff. The Board's standing committees carried a Veterans Halls Advisory Committee (Supervisors Burroughs and Jones) until January 13, 2026, when the Board dissolved it along with the Public Works Committee in a reorganization. The Corning remodel. The project - "a complete renovation of the interior of the Corning Veteran's Hall ... Improvements will include new mechanical systems, plumbing systems, electrical systems, roofing, insulation, finishes, and kitchen equipment. Exterior improvements will include new covered entries, paving, site utilities, landscaping and a photo voltaic array" - is funded by $2 million of the county's American Rescue Plan Act money and $4.4 million of federal Community Project Funding (CPF B-23-CP-CA-0149), with a construction estimate of $5,100,000 and 300 calendar days in the November 2025 bid packet. The Board's record: November 18, 2025 - the administration, labour-compliance and environmental-review agreement ("maximum compensation" per the agenda item); January 13, 2026 - the plans and specifications approved as amended by addendum no. 2 and the bid awarded to Ginno Construction, Inc.; March 3, 2026 - the PG&E utility agreement "for the purpose of providing gas and electricity for a maximum compensation of $57,579"; July 21, 2026 - the progress update, the dedication plaque's design and inscription, and change order no. 2026-003 "thereby allowing for changes as listed, for a contract increase in the amount of $105,168."
