How to resolve AdBlock issue? LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Board of Supervisors this week will revisit budget adjustments for the new fiscal year, discuss a proposed mobile home rent stabilization ordinance, and consider a report from a governance workshop exploring a shift to a “chief executive officer” model for county government.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 19, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.

At 9:04 a.m., the board will consider a summary of adjustments made to the recommended budget for fiscal year 2025-26, which was approved at the budget hearings in June.
In addition, the board will revisit several budget-related issues raised during the hearings, including how cannabis tax revenues are used, whether to add another Animal Care and Control officer as well as the status of the pension stabilization fund invested in the market.
At 1:01 p.m., the board will discuss the possibility of having an ordinance for mobile home rent stabilization, which the county does not currently have.
Supervisor Eddie Crandell brought up the item, citing “concerns from senior mobile home park residents facing significant rent increases for capital projects,” according to the staff memo.
The proposed ordinance would limit rent increase, and protect vulnerable residents, including seniors, disabled veterans and disabled individuals who rely on affordable mobile home housing, Crandell added.
At 1:30 p.m., the board will review a report from consulting firm Municipal Resource Group on a March governance and organizational workshop. The workshop, attended by the board and staff, discussed the possibility of shifting from a chief administrative officer to a chief executive officer model.
This item came up on agenda twice in July, but continued both times.
In closed session, the board will evaluate Special Districts Administrator Robin Borre, and conduct interviews for the interim Public Works director position.
The full agenda follows.
