The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 29, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
The meeting can be watched live on Channel 8 and online at https://countyoflake.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx. Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.
Tuesday’s meeting actually is a special meeting; the board usually has the fifth Tuesday of the month off, but is gathering after having not met last week due to the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday.
In an untimed item, Sheriff Brian Martin will ask the board to request for his agency “a management level reorganization as part of a restructuring and to significantly change its business practices due to a long history of vacancies in particular classifications and is requesting to reorganize in order to meet the demand in another way.”
Martin is proposing to eliminate two vacant sheriff’s lieutenant positions and one vacant captain’s spot and change the titles to chief deputy. He also wants to eliminate the vacant Central Dispatch manager and correctional captain positions, which have been held by civilian employees, and change them to chief deputy as well.
All of Martin’s proposed changes are estimated to cost $2,312 a month.
Also on Tuesday, in another untimed item, the board will discuss and consider resolutions of intention to create zones of benefit in Buckingham, Clear Lake Riviera and Riviera Heights ”to establish a proactive approach for enhanced road maintenance in the form of preventative measures to protect the roads from the ravages of wildfire damage, the consequent impacts of that damage, and the extraordinary costs associated with road replacement and disaster-related repairs,” according to a memo from Supervisor Rob Brown.
Brown said that, ultimately, forming the benefit zones will be up to voters in a Proposition 218 process.
The full agenda follows.
