The County of Lake Board of Supervisors held a meeting on September 22, 2026, to discuss updates to the Public Works Director job classification and to approve a contract for on-call civil engineering services. The board approved changes to the job description, notably making a civil engineering license desired but not required, while maintaining the current salary range. There was discussion about implementing a tiered salary system based on licensure and moving toward employment contracts for the position. The board also approved an agreement with RSA Plus for civil engineering services not to exceed $75,000, with amendments to include an exhibit detailing hourly fee schedules to ensure transparency and fairness. The board discussed the timing of future Requests for Qualifications (RFQs) for engineering services, noting the next RFQ would be in January 2027, and the use of multiple qualified engineering firms for project stamps. The board agreed to delay posting the job position until salary and contract details are finalized to ensure competitiveness and clarity.
