· The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the Lake County budget for FY 2020 resulting in a revenue shortfall projected to be approximately $50,000,000.
· The Lake County Board has previously approved more than $17,000,000 in operational reductions to the FY 2020 budget and additional FY 2020 reductions are required.

· After careful consideration of options, three unpaid fixed holidays for FY 2020 balances the requirement for additional budget reductions while minimizing the impact on County operations and employees.
· Applying this change to all employees in all departments under the County Board’s budget authority will provide the greatest reduction and most fair outcome across the whole of County Government.
· This change can provide an estimated savings of up to $1,800,000 in FY 2020.
