..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Robert Massarelli, Community Development Director By Keith Gronendyke, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Verizon Wireless Appeal (AB 16-01) of denial of Use Permit (15-10) Supervisorial District 4 DATE: June 8, 2016 EXHIBITS: A. Appeal Form and attached documents B. Planning Commission Staff Report Dated December 3, 2015 C. Planning Commission meeting minutes from January 14, 2016. D. Revised documents submitted by applicant. E. Correspondence from surrounding property owners. I. BACKGROUND The applicant is appealing the decision by the Planning Commission on January 14, 2016 to deny an application for a Major Use Permit to construct a new seventy-five foot tall monopole cellular antenna disguised as an evergreen tree for the purpose of increasing cell carrier capacity in the Kelseyville area. Twelve eight foot high panel type antennae, two six-foot diameter microwave dishes and assorted required equipment would be mounted on the mono-tree antenna, while various ground based equipment would be located at the base of the antenna tower including four equipment cabinets, a 30 KW diesel powered electrical generator and a 132 gallon diesel fuel tank. A six-foot tall chain link fence with privacy slats and topped by barbed wire would surround the 2,500 square foot lease area. Access to the site would be from a twenty-foot wide non-exclusive access easement located off of Staheli Drive. As required by Article 71 of the Zoning Ordinance, the applicant has made provisions for future co-location from other cellular communication companies on the proposed mono-tree. II. APPEAL DISCUSSION The appeal to the above noted denial of Use Permit UP 15-10 was filed on January 20, 2016, by Andrew Lesa of Epic Wireless Group for Verizon Wireless. Along with the appeal form, Mr. Lesa attached verbiage detailing the reason for the appeal including the following purported violations of United States Code: 47 U.S.C.332(c)(7)(b)(i)(ii) which reads: (i)"The regulation of the placement, construction and modification of personal wireless service facilities by any State or local government or instrumentality thereof- (I) shall not unreasonably discriminate among providers of functionally equivalent services and (II)shall not prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services." (ii) "A state or local government or instrumentality thereof shall act on any request for authorization to place, construct or modify personal wireless service facilities within a reasonable period of time after the request is filed with such government or instrumentality, taking into account the nature and scope of such request." (iii) "Any decision by a State or local government or instrumentality thereof to deny a request to place, construct or modify personal wireless service facilities shall be in writing and supported by substantial evidence contained in a written record." In response to the above, staff offers the following: (i) (I) There was no discrimination to the applicant as to other relevant applications for the installation of cellular antennas in Lake County. In fact, the Planning Commission recently approved two other sites for the installation of Verizon associated mono-tree antennae. (II) Because the County of Lake accepted and processed Verizon's application for the proposed cellular antenna, it shows that there is no prohibition of personal wireless services by the County. (ii) The application for the Verizon antenna site was submitted on June 2, 2015 and brought to the Planning Commission on January 14, 2016 per an agreement with Mr. Andrew Lesa, the representative for Verizon. As such, the County processed the application in a reasonable time. (iii) In a letter dated January 14, 2016 (see attachment A), Planning staff notified the applicant Epic Wireless Group/Verizon Wireless of the denial of their application UP 15-10 to construct a seventy-five foot tall mono-tree cellular antenna. Additionally, the attached minutes of the January 14, 2016 Planning Commission meeting includes Planning Commissioner comments on why they voted to deny the above noted application. At the Planning Commission meeting of January 14, 2016, the Planning commissioners heard comments from nine neighboring property owners objecting to the placement of the proposed mono-tree cell tower in proximity to their residences, reasons given include being an "eyesore", "negatively affect property values", "would be degrading to the area", and "was inappropriate in a small residential area." There were also concerns about the large fuel tank associated with the diesel electricity backup generator and one speaker wondered who would be maintaining the tree. There was not a representative present for Verizon who could address the above noted questions and concerns. As such, the Commission voted to deny Verizon Wireless' Use Permit application. Subsequent to the Planning Commission's denial, planning staff identified several locations as possible alternatives to the project site that would not generate anxiety for neighboring residents. The applicant has submitted revised plans along with photo simulations for the project along with an alternative site analysis and reasons for rejection as noted below: 4695 Cole Creek Road: Suggested alternative by the County of Lake's Planning Department was rejected because the site was deemed too far south from the targeted area of the State Highway 29 corridor (see attached information supplied by applicant). 4820 Loasa Road: Suggested alternative by the County of Lake's Planning Department was rejected because the site was deemed too far north from the targeted area of the State Highway 29 corridor (see attached information supplied by applicant). 6738 Live Oak Drive: Suggested by the Kelseyville Business Association was rejected because it would require the height of the tower to be taller than the proposed tower at the Staheli Drive location and the coverage would not be as comprehensive (see attached information supplied by applicant). Additionally, the applicant has since made minor changes to the project proposal by reducing the height of the proposed facility from seventy-five feet to sixty-four feet. Other than this, all other aspects of the project remain the same. III. CONCLUSION The Planning Commission denied the Major Use Permit for the construction of a seventy-five foot mono-tree cellular antenna on January 14, 2016 for property located at 5660 Staheli Drive in Kelseyville for the following reasons: 1. The Public input on the project indicated that the site location was inappropriate due to surrounding residential and rural property uses. 2. The staff report indicated that the proposed use was outside the parameters of the land use guidelines in that the proposal did not comply with the majority of Policy PFS-7.3 Siting of Telecommunications Infrastructure of the County of Lake's General Plan, which stipulates in part that: "visual impacts of wireless telecommunications facilities shall be minimized to the greatest extent possible and * Located away from residential and open space areas; and * When possible, are located on existing buildings, existing poles or other existing support structures; and..." Staff noted in the Planning Commission staff report that: "the project site would not be located away from residences, as there is a small subdivision of houses to the west and an undeveloped subdivision to the north. It also will not be located away from open space areas, as surrounding properties to the east and south are sparsely developed with mostly open space surrounding them. Additionally, it is not possible to place the structure, or a similar one, on existing building, poles or other structures." Additionally in support of number 2 above, six specific findings are required to be made to approve a major use permit. One of these findings is: 5. That the project is in conformance with the applicable provisions and policies of this code, the General Plan and any approved zoning or land use plan. As noted above, this project is not completely in conformance with Policy PFS-7.3 Siting of Telecommunications Infrastructure of the County of Lake's General Plan. ..Recommended Action Sample Motions: Appeal Approval I move that the Board of Supervisors make an intended decision to grant appeal AB 16-01 and overturn the Planning Commission's denial of Use Permit UP 15-10 applied for by Epic Wireless Group for Verizon Wireless for property located at 5660 Staheli Drive in Kelseyville, and direct County Counsel to prepare findings of fact before remanding the project back to the Planning Commission for completion of the Environmental review. Appeal Denial I move that the Board of Supervisors make an intended decision to deny the appeal AB 16-01 and sustain the Planning Commission's denial of Use Permit UP 15-10 applied for by Epic Wireless Group for Verizon Wireless for property located at 5660 Staheli Drive in Kelseyville, and direct County Counsel to prepare findings of fact.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer DATE: August 18, 2016 SUBJECT: Request for Board Approval of Recommended Changes to Paid County Emergency Leave Policy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: With the assistance of the Human Resources Director, for your consideration. I am recommending changes to the County Policy on Paid Emergency Leave, which provides support to County employees affected by the Clayton Fire, and other future disasters, should they arise. Changes recommended include clarification that the policy applies when a local disaster has been declared, and is no longer specific to the Valley Fire only. The policy is recommended to be expanded to provide for up to 8 hours total per employee of Paid County Emergency Leave when an employee's workplace has been evacuated/unavailable and the employee was not or could not be directed to report to an alternate worksite or to a disaster service worker assignment. With respect to the pre-existing portion of the policy that provided up to 24 hours of Paid Emergency Leave for employees who lost their homes, or sustained damage to their homes making them uninhabitable, recommended changes clarify that an employee is eligible for the leave provided s/he has first been absent from work (using paid accruals or leave without pay) for 24 cumulative hours. This leave is provided with the assumption that an employee who has lost his/her home will require considerable time and effort to regroup. The County desires to extend its support and understanding to affected employees during these disastrous times.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FROM: Kevin L. Thompson, MPA, CATC Interim Behavioral Health Director DATE: August 23, 2016 SUBJECT: A.) Approve the Request to Establish a Participation Agreement with the California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) to continue to utilize the Affordable Housing Bank of the Local Government Special Needs Housing Program (SNHP) which utilizes the expertise in developing and administering real estate lending programs and products benefiting persons of low and moderate income. B.) Authorize the County of Lake on behalf of Lake County Behavioral Health to redirect funding from the California Department of Health Care Services Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Housing Program to CalHFA to provide housing development expertise and real estate lending services to Lake County Behavioral Health for the construction, rehabilitation, and/or development of housing for persons qualifying for services under the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA). EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Lake County Behavioral Health requests the Board of Supervisors approve to redirect the MHSA Housing Program funding currently being released from the California Housing Finance Agency as stated in the DHCS Notice 15-004. Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions (W&I) Code Section 5892.5, the Department will receive funding from the California Housing Finance Agency, with concurrence from the Department of Health Care Services, which has been unencumbered from the Mental Health Services Fund dedicated to the MHSA Housing Program. Lake County Behavioral Health is now proposing that, upon receipt of the unencumbered funds from the MHSA Housing Program, the funding received be redirected to CalHFA. This action will enable the Lake County Behavioral Health to utilize the resources of that agency, encumber the funding, and stop the potential reversion of the funding. BACKGROUND DISCUSSION: During the development of the MHSA Program the State Department of Mental Health (DMH) developed the MHSA Housing Program. Using a part of the MHSA allocation, DMH created a second allocation of funding for the permanent housing of persons qualifying for services under the Mental Health Services Act. The funding was recently unencumbered through the DHCS Notice 15-004. This funding is now slated to go to each County, by a set allocation, to be utilized for its original purpose of providing housing for qualifying persons. Lake County Behavioral Health currently does not have the resources available to develop this program before the funding falls into reversion to the state. Lake County Behavioral Health requests the approval by the Board of Supervisors to utilize the resources currently in place at CalHFA and encumber the funds in that program, which will place a hold on the State reversion process. FISCAL IMPACT: _X_ None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Estimated Cost: Fiscal Year 2016-17 Allocation Amount: $976,094 Additional Requested: N/A Annual Cost (if planned for future years): N/A FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): The funds being discussed have been encumbered at the State level since the inception of the MHSA Housing Program. The funding has not been recorded in the County Finance System as the money was never allocated to the county by the State. The funding was held in trust until each county requested the dollars with a viable plan of providing permanent housing for qualifying MHSA participants. DHCS Notice 15-004 changes this situation. The State has now unencumbered the funding and is distributing the funding to each county. Under MHSA, upon receipt of the funding, the county must expend the funds within three years or risk the reversion of the funds to the state.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: The Honorable Board of Supervisors FROM: Kathy Ferguson Human Resources Director DATE: August 10, 2016 SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of County Employee Benefit Plans - EIA Health, Dental, Vision, and Life Renewal for 2017 and related Affordable Care Act requirements EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The County employees' health, dental, vision and life insurance plans are renewed annually. This year we are very pleased with the cost containment achieved by our participation in EIA Health. Detailed rates for the 2017 plan year are attached and are summarized as follows: EIA Health approximately .7% increase Delta Dental 1.2% decrease VSP Vision no increase VOYA Life no increase through 6/30/2017 MHN EAP no increase The following issues are being addressed in the 2017 renewal: 1) For the 2017 plan year the County's Group Insurance Committee is recommending the addition of a 70/30 Bronze plan to the EIA Health insurance offerings. This recommendation is made to add another lower cost plan option, but more specifically to address the needs of some employees who may be covering spouses in a Bronze Plan on the California exchange. This Bronze option through the County would offer more coverage and, since the exchange has age-rated plans, may also be a more affordable option for employees whose spouses are age 55 or older. The Committee is not recommending any plan design changes for the Delta Dental, VSP Vision or VOYA life plans 2) Due to changes in definitions as part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA): a. Life insurance is no longer eligible for inclusion in a qualifying cafeteria plan. Therefore, life insurance needs to be pulled out of the offerings that are covered by the County's $800 contribution and be paid separately. Staff is recommending that life insurance be County paid and covered separately beginning January 1, 2017, as our current rate and rate guarantee are written for an employer sponsored insurance coverage. This would result in a total increased County cost of between $10,992 and $15,048 annually depending upon the employees' selection of employee only or employee plus dependent coverage. Roughly between $5,252 and $7,861 of this amount annually will be general fund dollars. This cost may increase slightly if life insurance rates increase when the rate guarantee expires on 7/1/2017. b. Health insurance must be the first expense paid by the County's $800 cafeteria plan contribution to maintain affordability under the ACA. c. Opt Out cash in lieu must meet new definitions to be a qualifying under the new ACA regulations. The employee must show annual proof of employer sponsored coverage in a Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC) plan, and must certify that all tax dependents are covered by a MEC plan. Staff recommends that the County plan requirements mirror the ACA requirements for a qualifying cash in lieu plan. FISCAL IMPACT: __ None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Estimated Cost: Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff requests that your Board: 1) approve the Group Insurance Committee's recommendation to renew the EIA Health, Dental, Vision and Life insurance plans for 2017 including: the addition of the 70/30 Bronze plan to the EIA Health offerings; and no plan design changes for VSP Vision, Delta Dental and Voya Life; and 2) authorize the Human Resources Director to take any steps necessary to execute those insurance renewals for the 2017 plan year; and 3) authorize the payment of life insurance as a separate employer paid benefit outside of the County's cafeteria plan; and 4) direct Payroll to take the health insurance premium out of the County contribution before any other premiums; and 5) authorize the Human Resources Director to conduct meet and confer with the unions regarding both the separate payment of life insurance and the changed requirements to qualify for Opt Out contributions beginning January 1, 2017 and adopt side letters that reflect those changes.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Rob Brown, Chairman, Board of Supervisors FROM: Brian Martin, Sheriff/Coroner DATE: 8/10/16 SUBJECT: Consideration of continuing the Proclamation of a Declaration of a Local Emergency due to wildfire conditions. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: As your Board is aware, in the afternoon of July 29, 2015, the Rocky Fire began in the area of Morgan Valley Road and continued for several weeks. This prompted the activation of the Lake OES Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and Matt Perry County Administrative Officer/OES Director (retired) declared a Local Emergency on July 31, 2015. On August 4, 2015, your Board ratified the declaration by Resolution no. 2015-107, confirming the existence of such emergency. The dangers of this year's fire season continued on Sunday, August 9, 2015, when the Jerusalem Fire broke out, and your Board amended the declaration of a local emergency on August 18, 2015, to include the Jerusalem Fire, by Resolution no. 2015-109. On the afternoon of September 12, 2015, the Valley Fire began. This again prompted the activation of the EOC and Matt Perry County Administrative Officer/OES Director (retired) declared a Local Emergency that evening. This was ratified by your Board on September 15, 2015 by Resolution no. 2015-128. As the County seeks funding and performs recovery operations related to tree removal and other fire recovery projects for the Rocky, Jerusalem, and Valley Fires, it is advisable that we continue the declaration of an emergency to support the fire recovery process. This declaration needs to be re-considered and confirmed by your Board once every 30 days to stay in effect. To comply with the 30 day re-consideration of this declaration we are presenting it two weeks early, due to the Labor Day holiday and no meeting on September 6, 2016.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Jan Coppinger, Special Districts Administrator DATE: August 23, 2016 SUBJECT: Award Bid No. SD16-07, CSA 7 & CSA 18 Valley Fire Water Meter Replacement Project and Approve Contract with HD Excavating; Authorize Special Districts Administrator to Issue the Notice of Award EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Valley Fire caused significant damage in both the CSA 7, Bonanza Springs and CSA 18, Starview water systems. County staff coordinated with FEMA, OES and the County's insurance representatives to quantify and identify the damage caused within those two districts. The process resulted in identifying approximately 200 water meter services which needed to be replaced. Of those services some have already been replaced by Special Districts staff as the communities begin to rebuild. After the approval of the FEMA Project Worksheet in April which finalized the reimbursable scope of work, District staff let the project to bid in May for replacement of the remaining 181 water meter services. A subsequent project is currently out to bid which will address the improvements to the Starview Distribution System as well as the installation of a significant number of fire hydrants in both districts. Bids for the Water Meter Project were opened on July 14th and HD Excavating of Lower Lake was the apparent low bidder. Four bids were received ranging from $571,589.07 to $732,237.00. Staff vetted the low bidders bid documents and recommends awarding the project to HD Excavating in the amount of $571,589.07. The project will be funded with a combination of revenues available from insurance and FEMA which well exceed the bid received. Additionally both revenue sources are on an actual cost basis and will reimburse the funds on the actual cost of the construction since their required procedures have been adhered to throughout.
