Memorandum
Date: January 19, 2021
To: The Honorable Bruno Sabatier, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer
Subject: Discussion and Possible Direction to Staff Regarding Friday Closures
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
As your Board recalls, on November 17, 2020, you adopted a resolution directing the “soft opening” of County offices on Fridays, whereby Departments otherwise closed to the public on Fridays assign at least one staff person to provide basic customer service on Fridays beginning January 8, 2021, with full reopening on Fridays to take effect in April 2021.
At the request of Chairman Sabatier, I am bringing this matter back to your Board for consideration in the event you desire to make any changes in your directive as a result of the worsening pandemic conditions.
