On the agenda is consideration of an update to the county’s document, “Vision 2028: Reimagining Lake County, Ten Key Priorities to Build a Brighter Future.”
County Administrative Officer Carol Huchingson’s report to the board for the item explains that during the board’s April 16 governance workshop, Supervisor Jessica Pyska raised concern that disaster prevention, preparedness and recovery is not specifically stated in the plan, originally adopted on April 10, 2018, and amended on May 22, 2018.
The board will hold a discussion to update the document’s goals for public safety, as Pyska suggested.
Also on Tuesday, in another untimed item, the board will consider forming a roadmap task force committee, which came out of the board’s April 16 special governance workshop.
The task force will focus on four goals: developing and maintaining a high standard of disaster prevention, preparedness and recovery, including an applicable update to Vision 2028; create a community revitalization pilot project; continue to support the efforts of the Economic Development Task Force; and continue to support efforts to invest in and develop the workforce as necessary to accomplish the board's goals.
Membership is recommended to include Supervisor Jessica Pyska and Supervisor Bruno Sabatier; the Community Development director; the Animal Care and Control director; Sheriff Brian Martin; and County Administrative Officer Carol Huchingson.
In an untimed item, the board will consider a resolution to establish positional allocations for the current fiscal year for the planning budget unit in order to separate out the Community Development director job.
Huchingson’s report to the board explains that, historically, the Community Development director classification has been allocated as part of the Planning Budget Unit 2702.
“In February 2020, your Board combined the Community Development Department with the Departments of Public Works and Water Resources, and in the next Fiscal Year budget cycle, said classification was eliminated from BU 2702,” Huchingson said.
Noting that Community Development “deals with a very high volume of complex work, essential to residents needing the services and vital to the local economy,” Huchingson said the resolution would reallocate the Community Development Director classification as a separate classification within the Planning Budget Unit 2702, and so return to the long-time model with a director focused 100-percent of the time on the department.
Scott De Leon has held the job of Public Works, Water Resources and Community Development director since February 2020, as Lake County News has reported.
Board Chair Bruno Sabatier told Lake County News that the county is going to begin advertising the separate Community Development director job this week.
On Tuesday, from 9:06 to 9:14 a.m., the board will present several proclamations, including one to commend Operation Tango Mike for 18 years of support for military personnel and their families, and to designate May 2021 as Mental Health Month and Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month, and May 3 to 8 as Wildfire Preparedness Week.
The board also is scheduled to have another closed session to conduct interviews for the Public Health officer position.
