Public Works requests one-week continuation of hiring-freeze waiver for deputy director position
Summary
Public Works Director Lars Ewing asked the board to continue an item authorizing recruitment for one Deputy Public Works Director so staff can finalize general‑fund impact information; the board agreed to continue the item.
Lars Ewing, Lake County's public works director, asked the board to continue agenda item 7.3—a hiring-freeze waiver request to recruit one Deputy Public Works Director associated with a proposed merger of public works and public services—so staff can complete budgetary analysis. "I would request a continuation of this item ... I would request just a 1 week continuation," Ewing said.
The board agreed to continue the item; no public testimony opposed the continuation when the chair opened the item to public comment. Ewing said the continuation would allow staff to present a clearer picture of the general-fund impact of the merger and the single position before recruiting begins.
