The COVID-19 surge prompted the Lake County Board of Supervisors to close it chambers to the public during meetings. The board will continue to provide online public access and will review the decision on a weekly basis. Back in November, the Board of Supervisors hybrid board meetings were recognized by the California State Association of Counties for their use of technology to enhance efforts to maximize citizen engagement during the pandemic. In addition to Zoom, the board meetings are live-streamed on the county’s Facebook page.
