7.2Approve First Amendment to the Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement with Veterans Housing Development Corporation (Continued from July 19, 2016).
Agreement
passed on consent
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In July of 2015, at the initiation of Supervisor Farrington, your Board approved an agreement with Veterans Housing Development Corporation (VHDC) for the purpose of evaluating the viability of a permanent supportive housing development for very low income veterans and their families on County-owned property in the City of Clearlake located adjacent to Redbud Hospital. To that end, the agreement provides VHDC with the opportunity to conduct pre-development activities to determine:
� The projected number of veterans in Lake County that are in need of permanent supportive housing.
� The scope of the project, the cost to construct and whether it is likely to be financially self-supporting.
� The availability of funding for the project.
� The planning requirements such as acquisition of entitlements, permits, zoning, and necessary public infrastructure.
Depending on the above findings, VHDC will then determine whether to conduct an environment site assessment and develop preliminary site plans.
PROJECT STATUS: The agreement provided a one-year time period to determine if sufficient progress was being made in completing these tasks. Because this is an exclusive agreement precluding the County from entering into negotiations with any others regarding the disposition or development of the site, it is especially important to monitor progress. To that end, staff has met twice with VHDC representatives during the preceding 12 months during which the developer has
identified several potential funding sources, including the State Veterans Housing and Homelessness (VHHP) Prevention bond act, tax credits, and the new "No Place Like Home" funding opportunity provided for in the 2016/17 state budget. The developer is also working with the VA and local veterans' organizations to document sufficient demand for the housing to meet VHHP criteria. The City of Clearlake has also secured the funding necessary to complete the extension of Dam Road that will bisect the property.
UPDATE: As directed by your Board during discussion on July 12, 2016, staff has revised the First Amendment to Agreement to require the developer to submit an application for funding for the project, pursuant to the California Veteran's Bond Act of 2014, no later than December 31, 2017. The term of said Agreement shall extended, for a total term of 30 calendar months, ending January 21, 2018.

7.3Approve Mutual Aid Agreement Between the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and the County of Lake by and through the Lake County Animal Care & Control for disaster mutual aid services, and authorize the Chair to sign.
Agreement
passed on consent
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
During the fires of 2015, our department reached out and received assistance from many other agencies in and around Northern California, including: ASPCA, North Valley Animal Disaster Group (Chico), Sonoma County Animal Services, Mendocino County Animal Services, Marin Humane Society, Napa Humane, and many more.
From this experience we learned that a dependable partner is incredibly important! Consequently, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Santa Rosa Office) and Lake County Animal Care & Control have drafted the attached Mutual Aid Agreement that will provide for mutual aid during times of disaster and/or crisis. During the Valley Fire of 2015 the ASPCA's assistance was crucial. It allowed us to continue to provide emergency services to our residents on a 24/7 basis for weeks.
This Mutual Aid Agreement will allow either agency to call upon the other should disaster strike and help be needed.

Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Lake County Watershed Protection District is responsible for maintaining the Middle Creek Flood Control Project located near Upper Lake. Maintenance activities include periodic excavation and removal of accumulated sediment from within the stream channel to maintain channels to the design standards. Currently, an estimated 3600 cubic yards of sediment has accumulated below the confluence of Clover Creek and Alley Creek. The sediment bar is a significant impediment to the proper functioning of this section of the flood control system and needs to be removed to restore flow capacity to this section.
The District solicited bids in June and received three bids, as summarized on the attached bid tabulation. Wylatti Resource Management, Inc. from Covelo was the lowest bidder and selected as the contractor. The contract totals $78,696 for the removal of 3652 cubic yards of sediment from Clover Creek.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors sitting as the Board of Directors of the Lake County Watershed Protection District approve the Notice of Award and Contract for Services for the 2016 Clover Creek Sediment Removal Project and authorize the Water Resources Director to execute the notice and contract.

I would like to ask the Board to adopt the attached Resolution approving an agreement with the California Department of Food and Agriculture for the trapping and detection of certain exotic insects in Lake County from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. The agreement amount is $21,820.00, which is the same amount as FY 15/16.
This is joint federal (USDA), state and county program which can detect early infestations of various exotic insects. The USDA provides funding for the state, the state then distributes a portion of those funds to the counties. The counties are responsible for implementing the exotic insect trapping program. The exotic insect traps being deployed are meant to detect the following exotic insects: Japanese Beetle, Gypsy Moth, Mediterranean Fruit Fly, Oriental Fruit Fly and Melon Fruit Fly.
The program begins on May 1st and ends on October 31st. The following traps are currently deployed in Lake County: 46 Japanese Beetle, 92 Gypsy Moth, and 103 Fruit Fly traps. All traps must be checked and serviced bi-monthly. Lake County employs two Extra Help Insect Trappers to deploy/check the traps and the state supervises the counties. There have been no detections during my tenure as Agricultural Commissioner.
This program is critical to Lake County's agricultural industry. Without a detection program, pears and grapes would not be able to be shipped to other parts of the country or internationally due to quarantine requirements. If your Board does not approve this Agreement, the CDFA (State) will be forced to operate the program in Lake County and the proposed Agreement will be withdrawn. Two or three counties have done this.
Should the Board adopt the Resolution, please have the Chair sign and return two (2) copies of the Agreement, one (1) copy of the Contractor Certification Clauses (CCC-307), and one (1) copy of the Board Resolution and return them to the Department of Agriculture for further processing. A signed, completed copy will be returned for your records.

8.49:30 A.M. - Consideration of update and request for direction regarding Medical Marijuana Land Use Ordinance amendments
Report
Staff memo
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act
2. Working Rough Draft of Article
SUMMARY
On October 9, 2015, Governor Brown signed into law three pieces of legislation known as the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act (MMRSA). It creates a state structure of seventeen licenses to oversee the marijuana industry, from cultivation through sale of final product. MMRSA allows for each local jurisdiction to establish its own permit structure to complement any or all of the seventeen license types. This is a new system for our state and as such, is a prime opportunity for our county to design a structure that both meets our community goals and addresses the state's new legislation. Jurisdictions must issue permits for commercial cultivation in order for the state to grant a license to the cultivator.
The Planning Commission discussed this item on July 14, 2016 and public input was received at that time from the Lake County Farm Bureau and the Lake County Association of Realtors; as well as members of the public. Our department has also continued to meet individually with various stakeholders in order to gain a more thorough understanding of all aspects of the marijuana industry to be licensed by the MMRSA legislation and their various land use impacts. Staff requests the Board of Supervisors discuss and consider the following main topics, with the goal of directing staff on what the medical marijuana cultivation ordinance should accomplish:
Goals and objectives to consider include, but are not limited to:
* Maximizing the opportunity for growers who wish to cultivate legally, to be able to do so
* Reduction and prevention of illegal activity surrounding the industry
* Minimization of impacts of the garden parcel to the surrounding environment
* Preservation of prime agricultural areas for local crops needing Class I-IV soils
* Promotion of the benefits this industry can bring to Lake County for sustainable economic development through the regulation of the local medical cultivation industry, from "Seed to Sale"
* Balancing the need to control proximity of gardens with their need to be out in very rural areas
* Overall position of the county - overall response to the state law
..Recommended Action
Staff requests Board direction regarding Medical Marijuana Land Use Ordinance amendments.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Presently, the fire districts in the county collect a fire mitigation fee except when the owner of a dwelling that is destroyed by fire or other calamity, files for a building permit to rebuild within one year of destruction.
In an effort to help the 2015 fire victims, the area fire chiefs have opted to extend the one year deadline to two years if dwelling destruction occurred, 1) within the geographic area of, and 2) resulting from events of a declared local emergency.

9.5(Second Reading) - Consideration of an Ordinance amending Subsection 4.4 of Section 4-4 of Article I of Chapter 4 of the Lake County Code Relating to Fees for Dog and Cat Licensing, Redemptions, and Other Services Provided by Lake County Animal Care and Control.
Ordinance
Adopted — Pass
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Staff is requesting the Animal Control Fees be adjusted to meet the current costs of program management.
There are two primary areas being affected by the increase: Surgery Fees and Special Cremation Fees. Our surgery fees have remained considerably low since March of 2012. Even the Animal Control Advisory Board has suggested we increase our surgery fees. As for special cremations, this service has always been very popular with the community, and our fees have always been the lowest in Northern California. Additionally, we are hopefully about to receive a grant from the USDA to help us replace our aging animal crematory. Although this grant is a considerable help, it will only cover about 60% of the total cost. So an increase in fees will be needed to help cover our share of the machine.
Owner surrender fees are also being increased. It is unfortunate that we have so many unwanted pets in Lake County. Our shelter takes in more owner surrendered animals each year than we can adopt or transfer out. And this doesn't even take into consideration all the strays we take in. As long as this is a fact, I believe those people who wish to surrender their pets need to pay an appropriate fee.
Lastly, vaccines have increased by a couple dollars to keep up with costs, and a regular dog license has increased by $5 and a Senior Dog License has increased by $2.
The following sections of Title 4 of Lake County Code should be amended to read as follows:
A. Dog and Cat License Fees
Altered dogs $20 was $15
B. Redemption Fees

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Special Districts has been working with many other individuals and agencies to obtain funding for a "Septic to Sewer" project in Anderson Springs. The community of Anderson Springs lost 193 homes in the Valley Fire, leaving 19 remaining. Per new building codes, many of the homes cannot be rebuilt without a sewer system. Proximity to the creek and lot size eliminates the option of a septic system.
Funds are starting to materialize and to assist with and expedite the project, donations have been pledged.
Lake County Rising pledged a $50,000 donation to the project to allow preliminary work, specifically the Biological Resource Assessment Review, Cultural Resource Review and final reports. Some biological studies must be performed during specific times of the year and to miss the opportunity would set the project back another year.
The Anderson Springs Community Alliance has pledged a $10,000 donation to be used for the engineering consultations required to complete the USDA funding application. This cost is not reimbursable with grant funds and is a critical requirement for the application process.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: Jan Coppinger, Special Districts Administrator
DATE: July 19, 2016
SUBJECT: Consideration of (a) Resolution amending approved recommended budget for FY16/17 establishing fund 256, budget unit 8356 for Anderson Springs; (b) approve and authorize Special Districts Administrator to accept donations from Lake County Rising ($50,000) and Anderson Springs Alliance ($12,500) for the Anderson Springs Sewer Project; and (c) approve the capital project and resulting expenditures commence prior to the adoption of the final FY 16/17 budget.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Special Districts has been working with many other individuals and agencies to obtain funding for a "Septic to Sewer" project in Anderson Springs. The community of Anderson Springs lost 193 homes in the Valley Fire, leaving 19 remaining. Per new building codes, many of the homes cannot be rebuilt without a sewer system. Proximity to the creek and lot size eliminates the option of a septic system.
Funds are starting to materialize and to assist with and expedite the project, donations have been pledged.
Lake County Rising pledged a $50,000 donation to the project to allow preliminary work, specifically the Biological Resource Assessment Review, Cultural Resource Review and final reports. Some biological studies must be performed during specific times of the year and to miss the opportunity would set the project back another year.
The Anderson Springs Community Alliance has pledged a $10,000 donation to be used for the engineering consultations required to complete the USDA funding application. This cost is not reimbursable with grant funds and is a critical requirement for the application process. In addition, the Anderson Springs Alliance has a $2,500 donation from Walmart for the Septic to Sewer Project.
These donations are specific to the Anderson Springs Sewer Project which does confer a public benefit, the donations do further the project and they do not present a conflict of interest, real or perceived.
