LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The East Region Town Hall, or ERTH, meeting scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 4, has been canceled.

ERTH issued its agenda on the afternoon of Sunday, Jan. 1, which was more than the required 72-hour notice.

However, just after 2:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, County Administrative Office staff informed ERTH in an email that the meeting didn’t meet the Brown Act posting requirements.

While ERTH distributed the agenda to the community and posted it online, the issue appears to have been related to the county’s offices being closed until Tuesday because of the New Year’s holiday.

As a result, the agenda reportedly was not posted at the courthouse within the required timeframe. It was, however, found on the ERTH webpage on the county website.

After that email from the county, ERTH Board member Pamela Kicenski said in a followup email that the group would still hold an informational meeting.

However, later in the afternoon, Kicenski said the meeting was canceled “due to lack of proper noticing because of the holidays.”

She said the next meeting is scheduled for 4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 1, at the Clearlake Oaks Moose Lodge.

ERTH members also were told on Tuesday that all five of the board members needed to reapply for new terms.

Similarly, County Administrative Office staff told the Lucerne Area Town Hall, or LATH, that all five of its members also needed to reapply for new terms.

That’s despite all of the Northshore town halls — ERTH, LATH and the Western Region Town Hall — having staggered terms for board members, as established in their bylaws, to avoid having all of them reappointed at the same time.

A county spreadsheet of local appointments shows the staggered terms for ERTH and WRTH, but not for LATH.

The spreadsheet shows as last being updated in September, the month before the Board of Supervisors approved the newest version of the LATH bylaws, however both the current and previous LATH bylaws explicitly dictate staggered terms.

The County Administrative Office reported on Tuesday that at that point only Kicenski had applied for reappointment to ERTH.

The Board of Supervisors is set to consider a number of appointments to county boards, committees and commissions on Jan. 10, its first meeting of the new year.
