Memorandum
Date: February 4, 2020
To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Eddie J. Crandell, District 3 Supervisor
Subject: Approve Letter finalizing response to the questions of the Northshore Fire Protection District
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
As our Board is aware, on November 15, 2019, I received a letter from Northshore Fire Protection District asking questions about the November 5, 2019 election process. Although Northshore Fire is not questioning the unofficial results of the election, it is important that our Board respond to the topics and questions raised.
Staff drafted a summary response, and on December 17, 2019, our Board met with Northshore Fire representatives during our regular Board meeting. During the discussion, Interim Registrar of Voters Diane Fridley addressed the district’s detailed questions in-depth.
After following up with Jim Burton, Chairman of the Northshore Fire District Board of Directors, I am submitting the final letter of response for the approval of our Board.
