At the October 20, 2026 regular meeting of the Lake County Board of Supervisors, the board approved a behavioral-health agreement with Windsor Care Center of Sacramento for mental health rehabilitation and residential support services for FY 2026–27, amended to a not-to-exceed amount of $900,000 from the $1.8 million listed in the agenda. The agreement was approved 4–0. The board also approved Amendment No. 2 to the county’s investigative-services engagement with Van Dermaden Marcus Law Corporation, covering costs for participation in depositions related to ongoing litigation; the amount was not stated, and the motion passed 4–0. The board agreed that future behavioral-health contract items should show remaining budget appropriations to support financial oversight.

The board addressed implementation and payroll risks associated with the county’s new Workday ERP system. It approved a cross-departmental ad hoc working group, including two supervisors and representatives from county administrative, auditor-controller, treasurer-tax collector, and assessor-recorder offices, to prioritize and resolve implementation issues and report to the board every two weeks. The board also approved paper checks as a contingency for the upcoming payroll, with direct deposit to proceed if the bank confirms ACH functionality by October 26; the action passed 4–0. Other business included approval of the 2027 board meeting calendar and mention of a PG&E grant supporting a firefighting and water-availability project. No other procurement awards or purchasing approvals were identified.
