Welcome

Welcome to Lake County, Ohio

Established on March 6, 1840, Lake County encompasses only 228.2 square miles of land, geographically the smallest county in Ohio, but ranks 11th in population with 229,582 residents according to 2012 Census estimates.
Our northern border consists of approximately 30 miles of Lake Erie shoreline, much of it accessible by the extensive park system, most significantly the largest natural sand beach in the state, which extends for a mile at the centrally located Mentor Headlands Beach State Park.
This coastal asset puts Lake County in an enviable position for wind energy and water-related activities, and its strategic access to both SR2 and I-90, as well as proximity to Hopkins International Airport in Cleveland, has drawn many entrepreneurs from the medical, electrical, adhesive products and other commercial and industrial fields to the area.
An available trained and competent workforce that is second to none in the region has been critical to that success, and Lakeland Community College, Lake Erie College, and Auburn Career Center offer opportunities for higher education and enrichment and a range of vocational programs that support and replenish that worker supply.
Recreational activities abound, including the beautiful Classic Park where fans can cheer the Cleveland Indians Class A Affiliate team, the Lake County Captains in an intimate setting, perfect for the family.
In addition, Lake County is host to three State Nature Preserves, the Arthur C. Holden Arboretum, and a park district, Lake Metroparks, comprised of 36 parks and 8,196 acres.
Lake County’s reputation in agricultural circles is legendary. Blessed with some of the most fertile soil anywhere, the region earned the distinction as the Nursery Capital of the World, and our award-winning wine industry has ripened as an emerging tourism destination.
Our commercial, agricultural and industrial bases open many opportunities for a better quality of life and for economic growth.
Lake County boasts rich cultural heritage and traditions, bountiful natural resources, including two major rivers flowing through the County which provide us with harbors and marinas for shipping and superb recreational opportunities, strong labor and economic capital, committed leadership, and a diverse community of residents who embrace the region as their home with pride as have generations before them.

Welcome to Lake County, Ohio!

Sincerely,

Lake County Commissioners

Commissioners Small Business Grants and Loans Making Impact throughout Lake County

PAINESVILLE, OH, OCTOBER 28, 2020-In May 2020, the Lake County Commissioners authorized two business assistance programs to benefit small for-profit businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lake County Commissioners budgeted $700,000 for these programs via the Community Development Block Grant through the federal CARES Act. To date, the Commissioners have approved 92 applications and distributed $602,000 of business relief in 16 of Lake County’s 23 communities. “The Commissioners are committed to providing whatever assistance we can to our small business as they are the backbone of our community,” said Commission President John R.

Commissioners Proclaim National Adoption Awareness Month in November by NewsPosts, Publish Date: Friday, October 30, 2020

THE LAKE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ADOPT A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER 2020"NATIONAL ADOPTION AWARENESS MONTH" IN LAKE COUNTY, OHIO

During the October 29, 2020 Commissioners Meeting, the Board proclaimed the month of November 2020 "National Adoption Awareness Month" in Lake County, Ohio.

November is a month dedicated to recognizing the stories of youth in foster care who are in need of permanency. Children often enter into foster care due to a background of abuse or neglect. While it is preferable for children to reunite with their birth family, too often, circumstances are not ideal. When reunion with their parents is not possible, children need loving families where they can find security and stability and adoptive parents can provide that very basic comfort each child deserves.

Lake County, Ohio Successfully Completes 1st Ever Virtual Emergency Preparedness Exercise

PAINESVILLE, OH, October 8th, 2020 — On September 15th 2020, the Lake County Emergency Management Agency, along with partners at Ashtabula County, Geauga County, the State of Ohio and the Perry Nuclear Power Plant (PNPP), participated in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) evaluated Radiological Emergency Preparedness Exercise (REPEX) to ensure off-site response organization readiness in the event of an emergency at the PNPP. This type of exercise is conducted and evaluated on a biennial basis and would normally involve a minimum of 200-300 players from public safety, volunteer organizations, county departments, PNPP staff and others. Due to COVID-19, the 2020 exercise had to be completed with fundamental changes in how the exercises are conducted and evaluated in order to adhere to public health and safety guidelines.

Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Fairport Harbor Historical Society by NewsPosts, Publish Date: Monday, September 28, 2020

CELEBRATING THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FAIRPORT HARBOR HISTORICAL SOCIETY

WHEREAS, this recognition is presented in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Fairport Harbor Historical Society; and

WHEREAS, organized on March 2, 1945, with 150 founding members, the society was up and running, and by March 17, 1945, the Fairport Harbor Historical Society was formally incorporated under Ohio law. The society is an all-volunteer organization that operates and maintains the Marine Museum, founded in 1945, and the nearly 150-year-old lighthouse; and

WHEREAS, the Fairport Harbor Historical Society is devoted to preserving and perpetuating the historic tradition of Fairport Harbor and the Great Lakes area. The museum houses a number of artifacts pertaining to life on the Great Lakes and other maritime exhibits. The Society published books and compiled images of the rich maritime history featuring historical landmarks, the people, the fishermen, shipbuilders, and railroad workers who built one of the most picturesque harbor towns on the Lake Erie shores. Fairport Harbor was once a gateway to the Western Reserve, welcoming more ships to its shores than Cleveland. These ships brought immigrants who saw the harbor's lighthouse as a beacon for freedom, hope, and opportunity. The Fairport Harbor Historical Society maintains the history, culture, and spirit that has been successfully preserved for so many years and will be reflected upon with great pride.

NOW THEREFORE, we, the Board of Commissioners, in and for Lake County, Ohio, commends The Fairport Harbor Historical Society on achieving this historic 75-year milestone. We extend sincere wishes to all the citizens, volunteers, and leaders continuing to sustain its legacy by creating and preserving wonderful memories for many generations to come.

PAINESVILLE, OH, AUGUST 17, 2020 – Today, the Lake and Ottawa Commissioners expressed their strong opposition to any legislative proposal to repeal House Bill 6 “HB 6” without a thoroughly vetted and workable replacement. “While we detest any alleged illegal or unethical activity before, during, or after the enactment of the legislation, we certainly believed the policy outcomes were of great benefit not only to our counties but also to all Ohioans.

Disable rotation, such that the siren remains pointed at the instruments.
Place instruments at siren height, using a bucket truck, calibrate sound meters, and record.
Sound the siren to record data.
Place the siren back in a normal condition and move to the next siren.

Ohio EMA Warns About Scam Phone Calls by NewsPosts, Publish Date: Monday, March 30, 2020

For Immediate Release: March 30, 2020

Ohio Emergency Management Agency Will NOT Call You Asking for Personal Information

Scammers are Trying to Monopolize on Fear of COVID-19

COLUMBUS – The Ohio Emergency Management Agency (Ohio EMA) is receiving reports of spam calls to Ohioans from individuals claiming to be from the Ohio EMA and requesting personal protected information, such as a Social Security number.

“The Ohio Emergency Management Agency is not calling Ohioans and asking for their protected personal information,” said Executive Director Sima Merick. “If you receive such a call, it is a scam. Please hang up the phone.”

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Ohio Department of Commerce Director Sherry Maxfield offer these tips to protect yourself from other scams:

· Watch out for emails claiming to be from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or other expert sources offering special advice or information about coronavirus disease 2019. Legitimate information is available for free from the CDC coronavirus.gov or from the Ohio Department of Health at coronavirus.ohio.gov.

· Ignore advertisements promoting cures for COVID-19. There currently are no vaccines, prescription medications, or over-the-counter products available to prevent, treat, or cure COVID-19.

· Refrain from investing in businesses touting products, services or cures for COVID-19. Scam artists try to use the market downturn and the pandemic to scare investors into so-called “safer, guaranteed investments.”

· Research nonprofit organizations and crowdfunding campaigns before donating. A database of registered charities is available on the Ohio Attorney General’s website. Avoid groups that pressure you into donating and never donate via cash, gift cards, wire transfer, or prepaid money card. These are the preferred payment methods of scammers.

· Be watchful of anyone going door to door offering coronavirus testing or temperature readings and/or requesting personal information. Call law enforcement immediately if you see a suspicious person. Never let strangers into your home.

· Beware of emails and other attempts to “phish” for your personal, financial, and/or medical information. When in doubt, do not share. If the source claims to be your bank or a government agency, confirm they are legitimate by calling the organization at a phone number you have verified.

For information on government stimulus checks, visit the Federal Trade Commission website and stay tuned for updates from reliable news sources. The government will not ask you to pay anything to receive this money and will never ask for your Social Security number, bank account number, or credit card number. Never give this information out.

· When online, avoid clicking on unknown links or pop-ups and never download any suspicious email attachment. Doing so could infect your devices with malicious software designed to steal your personal information or lock your computer until you pay a ransom.

The Department of Commerce asks consumers to ask yourself these questions to help spot red flags:

· Has someone contacted you unexpectedly about an investment opportunity or asked for payment on an unfamiliar account? If you weren’t expecting a phone call or didn’t initiate the contact, hang up. If you can put a block on the incoming phone number, do so to avoid additional calls.

· Has someone promised you something? If you are offered something that seems too good to be true, it probably is.

· Has someone asked you to do something? Were you asked for banking, credit card, or other financial account information? If you didn’t initiate the conversation, don’t provide it.

· Is an investment being offered with a guaranteed high return with little or no risk? All investments carry risk. No one can guarantee an investment return.

· Is there a sense of urgency or limited availability surrounding an investment? If the offer is legitimate, it will be there later. If someone offers you a “can’t miss” investment opportunity and puts you on the spot, don’t be afraid to walk away.

· Is the person offering the investment, and the investment itself, properly licensed or registered? For the same reasons you wouldn’t go to an unlicensed doctor or dentist, you should avoid unregistered investment salespeople and their products.

· Consumers who suspect an unfair or deceptive sales practice should contact the office of Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost at www.OhioProtects.org or 1-800-282-0515.

Price Gouging

· Attorney General Yost’s Consumer Protection Section is receiving complaints of price gouging for items such as surgical masks and toilet paper. State law bans unconscionable sales practices, which could include dramatically increasing the price products solely in response to current events.

For answers to your COVID-19 questions, call 1-833-4-ASK-ODH (1-833-427-5634).

If you or a loved one are experiencing anxiety related to the coronavirus pandemic, help is available. Call the Disaster Distress Helpline at 1-800-985-5990 (1-800-846-8517 TTY); connect with a trained counselor through the Ohio Crisis Text Line by texting the keyword “4HOPE” to 741 741; or call the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services help line at 1-877-275-6364 to find resources in your community.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR COMPETITIVE SEALED PROPOSALS FOR NON-MEDICAL IN-HOME CARE SERVICES PROGRAM Bid Opening: September 30, 2020, 11:00 a.m. 105 Main Street, 5th Floor of the New Administration Center, Bldg. A Painesville, Ohio 44077 Click here to read the notice... Click here to view the RFP RFP Q&A How many clients are enrolled in the program currently? 61 How many clients were assessed yearly (initial and 6 month) in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 year to date? This is a new program and an agreement was first entered into effective July 1, 2019. July – December 2019 = 42 initial assessments January – August 2020 = 64 initial assessments; 34 re-assessments Would the successful bidder assume providing care for clients receiving services by incumbent? The successful bidder would work closely with the County and current program administrator to ensure the needs of the clients currently receiving services are met. This may be achieved using various methods, including moving the personal care services to a different non-medical home care company to service. However, it is not guaranteed all clients would be transferred to the new program administrator. Will the successful bidder be the sole provider of personal services? A contract may be awarded in whole or in part, to one offeror or to multiple offerors. The RFP is seeking interested organizations to administer a non-medical in-home care program. Whether the personal care services are provided by a subcontractor or the offeror is at the discretion of the offeror and should be addressed in the RFP. Does the current contractor have subcontracts? How many? Yes, three. Can management services, personal services, and oversight be bundled utilizing one contractor? Yes. Is there a reason the current contract was not renewed? The County signed a one-year agreement as this was a newly created program; the agreement did not allow for the option to renew for additional years. How many of the 106 Assessments (for the period: July 2019-August 2020) resulted in enrollments in the program? The current agreement is set up a little differently than the current RFP. However, of the 106 individuals assessed and referred to the program, 27 either did not start service for one reason or another or received services for one month or less. What are the qualifications/credentials for staff conducting the assessments? Currently, the staff conducting the assessments are licensed social workers. The RFP does not specify any specific requirements for staff. The County will evaluate staff experience and qualifications and select the offeror most advantageous to the program/County. Under section III, I do not see a request for the Offeror to submit a budget for the administration piece. Is the Board of Lake County Commissioners establishing the budget that the award recipient will need to follow? The administrative costs to administer the program should be built into your unit rate for the assessments and re-assessments, see Section IV, #9. The expenses that make up the unit rate should be detailed in Exhibit A. The Board of Commissioners will use this to evaluate whether or not the costs support the program activities and achievement of program objectives. The agreed-upon unit rate will be built into the final agreement between the County and the program administrator. This unit rate is reimbursement based and, therefore, agencies must demonstrate they have the fiscal capability to manage the program.
