In an untimed item on Tuesday, the board will consider rescinding the resolution that began the COVID-19 health emergency three years ago.

The state’s COVID-19 emergency ended in February and now local jurisdictions are following suit.
In another untimed item, the supervisors, sitting as the Board of Directors of the Lake County Watershed Protection District, will consider a purchase agreement with Eric Seely for property within the Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration project in the amount of $1,206,900.
