In an untimed item, the board will consider the process and protocol for recruiting the new county administrative officer.

The discussion had been set to take place last week but was pulled from the agenda, as the meeting ran into the evening.

The board will consider the protocol suggested by Human Resources Director Pam Samac and set a date to interview the five qualified candidates that have submitted applications so far.

The board also had been scheduled last week to discuss filling the District 4 supervisorial seat, as Tina Scott has resigned effective July 31. However, that matter also had been pulled from the agenda and is not set to be back before the board until May 17, the county reported.

At 9:45 a.m., the board is set to continue a public hearing on an appeal of the Lake County Planning Commission’s grant of a major use permit to Lake Vista Farms LLC at 2050 and 2122 Ogulin Canyon Road in Clearlake.
