Lassen County Board of Supervisors May 19, 2026

The Lassen County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on May 19, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. Key procurement actions included approval of a third amendment to the agreement with One Workplace for furniture storage, extending the contract to December 31, 2027, with a not-to-exceed amount of $75,000. The board also approved funding for two full-time equivalent appraiser positions to address recruitment and retention challenges within the Assessor's Office, noting a nominal budget impact. Additionally, the Planning and Building Services Department presented proposed updates to environmental health fees, including new fees for infrequent application types and state-mandated programs such as the California Accidental Release Prevention (CalARP) program. The board conducted a public hearing and approved the fee ordinance updates, which are expected to generate approximately $5,000 annually and help offset general fund expenses. These fee adjustments include new annual permit fees for food bank charitable feeding operations and tiered fees for hazardous material facilities. The meeting also included discussions on personnel retention strategies and recognition of retiring county employees.
