Supervisors to consider county visioning document
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, April 10, 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 and online at https://countyoflake.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx. Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.
In an untimed item, the board will discuss and consider, and give direction to staff regarding “Vision 2028: Reimagining Lake County,” which contains 10 key priorities to build a brighter future for Lake County, as well as the county’s mission statement and motto.
In a memo to the board for the meeting, County Administrative Officer Carol Huchingson explaind that departmental budget submissions are due this Friday, “and budget season is a time to consider financial allocations and to set priorities and plans for the future.”
She continued, “In January, each of you attended a Community Visioning Forum in your District. Hundreds of Lake County residents voiced their concerns and hopes through our five Forums and related public comment opportunities. The overwhelming theme was a need to think forward – to keep Lake County residents safe, develop infrastructure that will support vibrant communities and take ordered steps to enable economic development.”
As a result, Huchingson is presenting to the board a “draft priority statement that can serve as the basis for a ten-year plan to develop a brighter future for all Lake County residents.”
Huchingson said county staff is seeking the board’s conceptual approval to include the key priorities in the board's April 13 budget submission. “Formal adoption of the final version of your priorities will occur during Recommended Budget hearings, which begin June 12.”
The 10 priorities are:
– Promote the well-being and economic resilience of every Lake County household.
– Maintain a transparent county government that is responsive, efficient, effective and fair.
– Continue rebuilding and all efforts to recover from the county’s recent disasters.
– Enhance public safety: Protect citizens and serve them well.
– Grow the economy and spur creation of quality local jobs.
– Improve infrastructure (from roads to Internet).
– Support the county workforce, through targeted training, retention and recruitment initiatives.
– Collaborate with tribes, cities and community groups to maximize opportunities.
– Care for the county’s defining feature: Clear Lake.
– Invest in Lake County’s richest resource: its people.
She said staff also has developed refreshed drafts of the county's mission statement and motto, which dovetail with Vision 2028.
“Staff is seeking your conceptual approval and direction to work with Department Heads to bring a new County Mission Statement and Motto to final form,” she said.
Also on Tuesday, in a series of presentations timed to begin at 9:10 a.m. the board will present proclamations designating April 14, 2018, as Human Trafficking Awareness Day, the week of April 8 to 14 as National Crime Victims' Rights Week in Lake County, April 2018 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month and April 8 to 14, 2018, as Public Safety Dispatcher Week in Lake County.
