The board will meet virtually beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, April 28, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.

In an untimed item, County Administrative Officer Carol Huchingson will take to the board a proposed urgency ordinance establishing temporary safety protocols for when county of Lake facilities reopen.
Specifically, the ordinance would require the public to wear masks when in county facilities under the same conditions in which county employees must wear masks as outlined in a temporary policy the board enacted on April 21.
The board also will consider a request to appoint a negotiating team for the sale of a portion of the surplused property located at 7175 S. Center Drive in Clearlake.
