The Little Hoover Commission will meet Thursday, May 29, at 2 p.m. to consider a draft report on the Governor’s proposed Reorganization Plan, which would create a Housing and Homelessness Agency and a Business and Consumer Services Agency.
The commission may also take up a draft report on public-philanthropic partnerships.
By law, the Governor’s Reorganization Plan was submitted to the Commission for “study and recommendation.”
The commission held two days of hearings on the proposal, and met on May 13 to discuss the plan and provide guidance to staff about the contents of the report.
The draft report, which reflects that guidance, recommends approval of the plan, although also recommends that the Legislature pursue companion legislation to modify the plan in some respects.
The draft report has not been approved by the Commission, and is still subject to modification by the commission.
The draft report and other background material provided to Commissioners can be accessed here.
The commission may also take up a draft report on the state’s role in public-philanthropic partnerships, a topic on which the commission recently held hearings. The draft report can be accessed here.
The meeting will be held principally via Zoom. Members of the public are free to attend the publicly noticed physical location – Basement Conference Room (Level B1) of the Senator Building at 1121 L Street in Sacramento – but no Commissioners are expected to attend in person. Commission staff will be present at that site.
The Zoom login details (also below) and the full information packet for the meeting may be accessed here.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — In collaboration with CalRecycle, Lake County Code Enforcement is offering residents of Glenhaven, Clearlake Oaks, Spring Valley, Double Eagle, Elem and Clearlake Park the opportunity to participate in two free dump days.

The events will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, May 31, and Saturday, June 7, at the Clearlake Oaks Moose Lodge, 15900 Almond Lane by the roundabout at Highways 20 and 53.
What Is accepted: Household trash, general garbage, metal, appliances, mattresses, tires (separated from rims/wheels), furniture, rugs, clothing, household items, electronics and computer equipment.
What is NOT accepted: Hazardous materials, paint, oil, green waste (vegetation), construction materials. (Some items can be taken to the Clearlake Recycle Center. See website for details.)
How can I help?
• Organize a neighborhood cleanup.
• Have a truck? Volunteer to pick up items from people in need of assistance (see below).
• Adopt a beach or road for cleanup.
Volunteers to help those needing assistance: If you are unable to make the drive to the dump day for any reason, please call 707-666-1232 and let the volunteers know your address, what things you have to be dumped, and what assistance you require. While not all accommodations can be made, volunteers (working with county staff) will help as much as possible.
Questions: If you have any questions or would like to volunteer, please contact Lake County Code Enforcement at 707-263-2309 and request to speak with Damien Marks. Staff can direct you on what items you can or can’t bring, what times you can bring your items, and any other information. You can also email
As part of the CalRecycle grant, the county will also be cleaning up habitual dump sites in Clearlake Oaks including Stubbs Road, Mountainview Road, Sulphur Bank Drive and Junction Plaza.
Two prior events were successfully held in Nice (March) and Lucerne (April), bringing in more than 850,000 pounds of trash.

The training is free and will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Light snacks and refreshments will be provided, along with training materials at no cost.
For more information or to register for tutor training, please call 707-263-7633 or email
Tutors are in high demand at the Library Literacy Program, with more volunteer tutors needed in the Clearlake and Middletown areas, bilingual Spanish tutors for the English as a Second Language Program, and tutors available and willing to tutor at the Lake County Jail.
Hosted by Literacy Program Coordinator Georgina Marie Guardado, and facilitated by Lake County Literacy Coalition Board Member Pam Klier, participants will learn useful techniques for teaching adults to read and write.
No experience is needed, and ongoing support and workshops are provided for tutors. Upon completion of the training, tutors will be matched with adult learners in a variety of settings around the county. Those who would like to help adults improve their literacy skills are encouraged to attend.
A recent survey of adult skills indicated 26% of Lake County adults have literacy skills at level one or below.
Many adults want to improve their reading and writing skills so they can access better jobs, further their own education, advocate for their children, and overall improve their way of life.
Through hard work and perseverance, adult learners can change their own, and their family’s lives, for the better. Becoming a tutor can help someone to a better future.
