At the last meeting of the Lake County Board of Supervisors, the board approved a lease agreement for office space for the Public Defender’s office at 55 First Street. The lease is for just over 4700 square feet. The proximity to a public park caused concerns regarding clients like sex offenders not being able to meet with their attorneys since there is a playground in that park, however research into that question determined that those clients can use an entrance on the opposite side of the building or public defenders can meet with those clients offsite.
