Memorandum
Date: July 20, 2021
To: The Honorable Bruno Sabatier, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Jessica Pyska, 5th District Supervisor
Subject: EXTRA ITEM: (a) Consideration of "extra" agenda item, and, (b) Consideration of Resolution Urging the Public to Continue to Wear Mask in Indoor Settings
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 my attention subsequent to the posting of the current agenda and there is a need to take action before the next agenda.
(b) I am requesting our Board adopt the attached Resolution Urging the Public to Continue to Wear Masks in Indoor Settings.
COVID Conditions are worsening in Lake County. After the posting of our agenda, I learned that our case rate per 100,000 is the highest of all California counties at 17. The state average is 6.9. In addition, at 11.8%, our testing positivity rate is more than twice the state average of 4.9%.
Given our worsening status, I believe our Board should institute immediate precautionary measures to support the well-being of those we serve. If adopted, this Resolution would urge that, regardless of vaccination status, all persons wear masks indoors in public places.
