Memorandum
Date: July 12, 2022
To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Susan Parker, County Administrative Officer
Subject: Appoint Alternate Public Health Officer Charles E. Evans, M.D. and Ratify Physician Consultation Services Contract
Executive Summary:
On June 28, 2022, your Board appointed and ratified the Physician Consultation Services contract with Dr. Gary Pace to ensure that the ongoing public health mandates for services were able to be provided.
At the same time, we also pursued a contract for a Public Health Officer alternative who will perform the Public Health Officer duties when Dr. Pace is unable to perform those duties.
We did not receive the executed contract in time for the June 28, 2022 Board of Supervisors meeting. Therefore, I authorized this very temporary appointment and have now brought the contract to your Board to ratify.
Because of the urgency presented, the agreement should be considered for ratification by your Board as soon as practically possible.
Staff recommends appointing Charles E. Evans, M.D. as the Public Health Officer alternate and ratify the Physician Consultation Services contract with Dr. Charles Evans.
