Memorandum
Date: March 17, 2020
To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer
Subject: EXTRA ITEM - (a) Consideration of "extra" agenda item; and (b) Consideration of impacts of the four week closure of local schools on the County workforce with possible direction to staff.
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
(a) This item is being submitted as an "extra" agenda item. The justification for this request to consider an item not on the posted agenda is as follows:
This item came to the attention of staff subsequent to the posting of the current agenda and there is a need to take action before the next agenda.
(b) As your Board is aware, it was announced on March 15, 2020 that all local schools will be closed for the next four weeks due to COVID-19. For your consideration tomorrow, I am gathering information from your department heads as to the impacts on staffing and services since it is expected that a number of County employees will not be able to work because they must care for their children. I am requesting to engage in discussion with your Board regarding how best to manage the resulting impacts.
