Memorandum
Date: June 2, 2020
To: The Honorable, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer
Subject: Consideration of rescission of Urgency Ordinance No. 3091 establishing temporary safety protocols for County facilities to the public during the ongoing COVID-19 state of emergency
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
This agenda item has been prepared at the request of Chairman Simon. As your Board recalls, on May 5, 2020, you adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 3091 requiring the use of face coverings, absent the option of a minimum six-foot separation or the use of protective shielding, by all persons who engage in in-person interactions, face-to-face meetings, or for situations in which persons must work together in close proximity. This Ordinance also requires that persons utilizing elevators wear face coverings and provides for face coverings will be offered free of charge to persons who need them.
At the time your Board adopted this Ordinance, there was no Public Health Order in place requiring the use of face coverings, although an Order has more recently been put into effect. Since the Public Health Order essentially supersedes the Urgency Ordinance, the Chair is recommending your Board consider rescinding the Urgency Ordinance effective immediately.
