LAKEPORT, Calif. – Potential candidates for the county’s treasurer-tax collector position and an update on Lakeside Heights are on the Board of Supervisors’ agenda this week.
The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, May 21, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. It will be broadcast live on TV8.
On the agenda for 9:20 a.m. will be another in a series of updates on Lakeside Heights, where a landslide has damaged several homes and endangered many others in the 29-home subdivision.
At 9:30 a.m., the board will hold interviews for treasurer-tax collector applicants in the wake of Sandy Shaul leaving to accept a job with Marin County earlier this year.
Kay Lytton, the county’s former treasurer-tax collector who retired at the end of 2006, was appointed by the board to hold the job on a temporary basis. While it’s an elected position, it can be filled on an interim basis until the next election.
In untimed items, with County Librarian Susan Clayton retiring, the board will consider proposed modifications to job descriptions for county librarian, librarian II and branch librarian and is expected to direct Human Resources to conduct a promotional only recruitment for the county librarian position.
