7.5Approve the Consent to Common Use Agreement between the County of Lake and PG&E for the Mathews Road at Manning Creek Bridge Replacement Project; Federal Aid Project No. BRLO-5914 (072), and authorize the Public Works Director to sign. Agreement passed on consent
Staff memo

Date: September 21, 2016 · To: Board of Supervisors · From: Scott De Leon, Public Works Director · Subject: Approve the Consent to Common Use Agreement between the County and PG&E for the Mathews Road at Manning Creek Bridge Replacement Project; Federal Aid Project No: BRLO-5914(072)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The existing PG&E electric service line and pole were in conflict with the construction of Mathews Road Bridge at Manning Creek and needed to be relocated. The pole in conflict was installed on private property in 1934 and had been in continuous service. Since this pole was not within the County-owned right of way and PG&E claimed a prescriptive right to be on private property, the Board approved a Utility Agreement on April 5, 2016, to reimburse PG&E for the relocation costs. In addition to the relocation cost, as previously approved, the County is also responsible for maintaining PG&E's existing land rights. Per Caltrans Right of Way Manual utility relocation requirements, a Consent to Common Use Agreement is required when the County acquires new right of way where the existing utility is located and the utility with a prior right stays at the existing location. The exhibit to the Agreement schematically depicts the area covered by the Agreement. Staff has prepared the Agreement, in collaboration with Caltrans, per Caltrans' template and standard language. No cost is associated with this Agreement. Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the Consent to Common Use Agreement between the County and PG&E and authorize the Public Works Director to sign said agreement.

The Lake Area Rotary Club Association (LARCA) was formed following the Valley Fire of 2015 to provide a means of distributing charitable contributions made by community members and organizations to efforts aimed at mitigating and recovering from the effects of the Valley Fire. That organization has recently agreed to contribute $25,000 to the Lake County Sheriff's Office for the purchase of Nomex woodland fire protective suits. These suits will be issued to deputy sheriffs who are more frequently called upon to assist with evacuations during wildfires. Uniforms and equipment commonly worn by law enforcement officers offers no fire protective characteristics. The suits to be purchased are not susceptible to melting as many law enforcement uniforms. The suits have reflectorized banding and lettering for visibility during darkness and smoky conditions. The suits will also be clearly marked to identify the wearer as a deputy sheriff. This type of equipment has not been budgeted for, and the generous donation will make the purchase possible.

Staff memo

Date: October 4, 2016 · To: Rob Brown, Chairman, Board of Supervisors · From: Brian Martin, Sheriff/Coroner · 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/OED 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 Office/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. FISCAL IMPACT: __ None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION:

No additional funding requested — the memo's cost fields were left blank, which on this form means the item is already budgeted.

Staff memo

Date: September 7, 2016 · To: Board of Supervisors · From: Kathy Maes, Social Services Director · Subject: Approve Five year Lease between Lower Lake JBRE, LLC and County of Lake for the annual amount of One Hundred Twenty-Four Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty-One dollars and Twenty cents ($124,651.20) with a 2 percent increase each subsequent year during the term of the lease which terminates on June 30, 2021. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Our department has leased the office located at 9055 Hwy 53, Lower Lake, California since August 1, 2010 for operation of our Employment Services programs. During lease negotiations, the building owner requested we include an annual cost of living adjustment of ninety percent (90%) of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), with a minimum annual increase of three percent (3%) and a maximum of six and one-half percent (6.5%). We agreed upon an annual two percent (2%) increase. Our current lease rate is $1.36 (one dollar and thirty-six cents) per square foot. The two percent (2%) increase adjusts this amount to $1.39 per square foot, for a nominal increase of $225 per month. As is consistent with our previous lease, as well as with our other building leases, we have agreed to complete all necessary repairs in order to keep lease costs down. The building owner also requested that we include an "as is" clause in the agreement related to the condition of the building. As we have occupied this building since 2010 we are well aware of the condition of the building and have no concerns related to this addition. The building owner also requested changes to our default provision. While they are written in such a way that our defenses are limited, we have sufficient processes in place to ensure we can prevent any possibility of default occurring. FISCAL IMPACT: __None _ X Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Amount Budgeted: $124,651.20 Additional Requested: $0 Annual Cost (if planned for future years): $127,144.22 FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): There is no county cost associated with this lease. STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): None ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve Five year Lease between Lower Lake JBRE, LLC and County of Lake for the annual amount of One Hundred Twenty-Four Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty-One dollars and Twenty cents ($124,651.20) with a 2 percent increase each subsequent year during the term of the lease which terminates on June 30, 2021; and authorize Chair to sign.

Staff memo

Date: September 7, 2016 · To: Board of Directors, Lake County Watershed Protection District · From: Scott De Leon, Water Resources Director · Subject: Request for Authorization to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Lease of Property in the Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project Area

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: As you will recall, on April 5, 2016, your Board approved the Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project Property Management Guidelines. The Guidelines provide for the management of properties acquired by the District for the Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project. According to the Property Management Guidelines, the goals to be achieved by leasing properties within the Project Area include minimizing property maintenance costs, reducing staff time managing properties, maintaining a presence on the property to reduce trespass, vandalism, etc., and supporting the local economy. In accordance with the above referenced Guidelines and the goals stated therein, it is appropriate to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for lease of properties for agricultural purposes, within the Project Area. It is intended for these properties to be leased and utilized for productive agricultural purposes until such time that the Project is fully implemented. The Project Management Guidelines require that appraisals be conducted prior to issuance of an RFP, in order to establish a fair market value. However, the estimated cost of having such appraisals performed is excessive and the RFP process itself will determine the fair market value. Accordingly, staff is requesting a waiver of the formal appraisal process on the basis of such waiver being in the overall public interest. Staff has drafted a Request for Proposals (RFP), for your Board's review and consideration. Upon approval by your Board, staff will issue the RFP and distribute it as provided for in the Property Management Guidelines. Requested Board Action: 1. Waive the requirement in the Property Management Guidelines for formal appraisals to be conducted prior to issuance of an RFP for lease of land for agricultural purposes within the Project Area; and 2. Approve the RFP submitted herewith and direct staff to solicit proposals by distributing the RFP in accordance with the Property Management Guidelines. 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 3. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Waive the requirement in the Property Management Guidelines for formal appraisals to be conducted prior to issuance of an RFP for lease of land for agricultural purposes within the Project Area; and Approve the RFP submitted herewith and direct staff to solicit proposals by distributing the RFP in accordance with the Property Management Guidelines.
