County of Lake Board of Supervisors Meeting · Tuesday 11/10/2026

At the County of Lake Board of Supervisors’ regular meeting on November 10, 2026, the board considered a Water Resources contract for urgent creek maintenance in Scotts Valley. Staff recommended selecting Dills-Saver Construction from three proposals for work valued at approximately $122,400, intended to reduce flood risk before the rainy season. The project is part of a CDFW-funded grant of about $613,700; staff said grant funds were expected to cover the work, with district funds potentially covering a remaining $22,000 if needed, not the General Fund. Supervisors discussed adding a 30-day completion target to the contract, while staff noted the contract allowed 90 days and work could be interrupted by storms. The transcript does not clearly capture the final vote on this item. The board also considered an agreement with Vista Pacifica Enterprises, Inc. for adult residential support and specialty mental health services in FY 2026–27, not to exceed $1 million. A motion and second to approve were made; the vote outcome is unclear in the transcript. Supervisors raised concerns about tracking behavioral-health finances and agreed to arrange a follow-up discussion and develop a format for regular financial updates.

The Sheriff presented the annual military-equipment inventory report, noting four Mavic drones and three Avatar 2 drones had been purchased during the fiscal year, and that a command-post trailer had been transferred to Modoc County; no new purchase approval was sought in the report. On recruitment, the board reached consensus to have administration prepare a draft RFP for an executive search firm for the permanent CAO position, and directed supervisors to consult RCRC and SESAC and return with interim CAO options. The board also requested a further discussion of the desired CAO profile and possible employment agreement. No procurement action was identified on the public comments about energy policy or other non-agenda concerns.
