The board will meet virtually beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, June 2, 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, online at https://countyoflake.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx and on the county’s Facebook page. Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.

The board will get its weekly update from Public Health Officer Dr. Gary Pace at 9:02 a.m.
In an untimed item, the board will continue a discussion that began last week regarding resumption of in-person meetings.
In another untimed item, the board will consider rescinding an ordinance it passed on May 5 to establish temporary safety protocols for members of the public visiting county facilities, requiring the use of face coverings absent the option of a minimum 6-foot separation or the use of protective shielding.
County Administrative Officer Carol Huchingson said the matter is being brought to the board at request of Chair Moke Simon.
“At the time your Board adopted this Ordinance, there was no Public Health Order in place requiring the use of face coverings, although an Order has more recently been put into effect. Since the Public Health Order essentially supersedes the Urgency Ordinance, the Chair is recommending your Board consider rescinding the Urgency Ordinance effective immediately,” Huchingson wrote in her report to the board.
The full agenda follows.
