LAKEPORT, Calif. – The future leadership of the Registrar of Voters Office will be a key topic for the Board of Supervisors this week.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19, 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 consider what to do in the wake of Registrar of Voters Catherine McMullen’s resignation.
McMullen, who took over the job of the department at the end of June, tendered her resignation Nov. 7, as Lake County News has reported. Her last day on the job is Nov. 22.
“I am requesting an opportunity to discuss next steps with your Board, regarding how best to staff the election function,” County Administrative Officer Carol Huchingson said in a brief memo to the board for the meeting.
In a related item, the board will hold a closed session discussion to hold interviews for an interim registrar and to make the interim appointment.
Earlier this year, Huchingson herself was appointed as interim registrar after then-interim Registrar of Voters Maria Valadez left to take a job in Mendocino County.
