Board Of Supervisors — Thursday, September 9, 2021

Memorandum Date: September 9, 2021 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Maria Valadez, Registrar of Voters Subject: (a) Report on the status of preparations for the September 14, 2021 special election, and (b) Request for the use of the Board chambers for elections purposes on September 14, 2021 Executive Summary: I am requesting an opportunity to report to your Board on the status of preparations for the September 14, 2021 special election. In addition, in light of the need to make special arrangements to enable constituents to vote in-person safely, with proper social distancing in place, I am requesting the use of the Board chambers on September 14, 2021. The use of the Board chambers would enable the setup of voting stations in the larger space, rather than in the cramped hallway area on the second floor. Admittedly, this would necessitate that your Board meet in Zoom. At this time, many constituents are expressing their intention to vote in-person and this one-time accommodation would increase our capacity to support in-person voting during the pandemic.

Memorandum Date: September 9, 2021 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer Subject: Consideration to appointment of Mary Darby to extra help CDD Director at a rate of $54.42 per hour for the period September 10, 2021 through October 3, 2021 Executive Summary: On August 31, 2021, your Board announced the appointment of Mary Darby, as the next CDD Director who will start on a full-time basis on October 4, 2021. In the interim, Ms. Darby has expressed a desire to participate in meetings with staff remotely via zoom while she is in the process of relocating here. Doing so would support her transition by enabling her to begin to get to know staff and to become informed regarding department priorities and concerns. I am recommending your Board hire her on an hourly basis, in an extra help capacity at an hourly rate equivalent to step 3 on the CDD Director salary scale, until her permanent employment commences on October 4th. As an extra help employee, she could work on a part-time basis, not to exceed 25 hours per week. During the time of Ms. Darby's extra help employment, I and my designee Assistant CAO Susan Parker will continue to serve as Interim CDD Director until Ms. Darby takes over on a full-time basis on October 4. If not budgeted, fill in the blanks below only: Estimated Cost: ________ Amount Budgeted: ________ Additional Requested: ________ Future Annual Cost: ________ Consistency with Vision 2028 (check all that apply): ☐ Not applicable ☐ Well-being of Residents ☐ Public Safety ☐ Disaster Prevention, Preparedness, Recovery ☒ Economic Development ☐ Infrastructure ☒ County Workforce ☐ Community Collaboration ☒ Business Process Efficiency ☐ Clear Lake Recommended Action: Effective September 10, 2021 through October 3, 2021, appoint Mary Darby as extra help CDD Director at a rate of $54.42 per hour.
