EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: As your Board is aware, during recommended final budget approvals for 2016-2017, one of our position allocations was changed from "Administrative Analyst I/II/Senior Deputy CAO I/II/III" to "Administrative Analyst I/II/Senior" to reflect the qualifications of staff hired into said position.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer DATE: January 3, 2017 SUBJECT: Approve Recommended Changes to the Employee Appreciation and Team Building Policy (EATS) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: As your Board is aware, with your adoption of the Final Recommended Budget for Fiscal Year 2016-2017, we reinstated the EATS policy. Department Heads and staff are already enthusiastically planning their respective teambuilding activities. The original policy provided for EATS funds to be allocated in advance, to each applicable Budget Unit. However, with reinstatement of this program, departments that have non-General Fund (GF) sources of funding will simply charge allowable EATS expenses to object code 28.30. For departments reliant on the GF, claims will be sent to the Administrative office for processing. The changes recommended to the policy (see attached) provide for this change in process, while the concept for the EATS program remains the same.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer DATE: December 13, 2016 SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution Amending Resolution No. 2016-144 to Amend the FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget by Adjusting Revenues and Appropriations in Budget Unit 9919 - Public Liability EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Your Board recently authorized the acceptance of a loan from CSAC-EIA that will assist in funding defense costs related to Lakeside Heights. The loan has now been funded and since this funding was not anticipated in the budget, it needs to be appropriated by resolution. Passage of this resolution is necessary to appropriate the unanticipated revenue. Consequently, staff recommends its approval.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FROM: Todd Metcalf, Interim Behavioral Health Director DATE: January 3, 2017 SUBJECT: (a) Waive the formal bidding process, per Ordinance #3043, Purchasing Code 38.2, as it is not in the public interest due to the unique nature of goods or services; and (b) Approve the Third Amendment to the Agreement between the County of Lake and Crestwood Behavioral Health for Adult Residential Support and Specialty Mental Health Services for Fiscal Year 2015-16, an increase of $29,392 for a new contract maximum of $774,392 and authorize the Board Chair to sign. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Attached for your approval, is the Third Amendment to the Agreement between County of Lake and Crestwood Behavioral Health for Adult Residential Support Services for Fiscal Year 2015-16. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: Crestwood Behavioral Health has numerous facilities throughout the State of California and serves multiple Lake County Medi-Cal beneficiaries. Crestwood Behavioral Health facilities include Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs), Mental Health Rehabilitation Centers (MHRCs), Adult Residential Facilities (ARFs), Community Programs, and Residential Facilities for the Elderly where clients are offered a continuum of care and treatment from traditional psychiatric services to innovative recovery programs geared toward community reintegration. A Lake County Medi-Cal beneficiary is placed at Crestwood Modesto. The beneficiary's insurance was changed by Social Security in error for the period of 7/1/15 through 11/30/15; therefore, the charges were denied by Medi-Cal when billed by Crestwood. Now that the insurance has been corrected, the charges are unbillable due to time limits. We are requesting to waive the formal bidding process, per Ordinance #3043, Purchasing Code 38.2 as it is not in the public interest due to the unique nature of goods or services. FISCAL IMPACT: __ None _X_Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Current Contract Amount (With Amendment): $774,392 FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): Due to all of the above reasons, Lake County Behavioral Health is accepting responsibility to reimburse t for the unbillable daily IMD rate of $192.10 per day in order to maintain the positive working relationship LCBH currently has with Crestwood. Funds in the amount of $29,392 will be added to the contract which was $745,000 for a new contract maximum of $774,392.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FROM: Denise Pomeroy, Health Services Director DATE: January 3, 2017 SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution Approving a Request from Lake County Health Services Department to Submit an Application for Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Capacity Building Funds Through the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and Authorizing the Director of Health Services to Sign Said Application EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Health Services Emergency Preparedness Program was recently contacted by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) regarding a grant funding opportunity for Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) units. The funding is available through a cooperative agreement between NACCHO and the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) (grant #15 HITEP1150032-02-00). Selected MRC units will receive MRC Challenge Awards of up to $13,000. The MRC Challenge Award is designed to encourage MRC units to identify and implement innovative projects that align with nationally recognized health initiatives, are significant at the local level and demonstrate capability within the MRC network. The Lake County MRC attained accreditation in April of 2007 from the Office of the Surgeon General and currently has approximately 17 volunteers consisting of Registered Nurses, Dentists, Veterinarians and non-medical volunteers. The goal for Health Services is to continue to develop and train the MRC volunteers so that they are prepared to respond in the context of our local emergency response plans.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: The Honorable Board of Supervisors FROM: Rob Howe, Chief Probation Officer DATE: December 14, 2016 SUBJECT: Approval of Agreement Between the Lake County Probation Department and the State of California Franchise Tax Board. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Lake County Probation Department is charged with collecting court ordered fines, fees and restitution. The collection process is difficult with offenders often simply refusing to pay. When an offender is on probation, failure to pay could result in a violation of probation, however, even with that consequence offenders frequently refuse to pay. The terms of fines, fees and restitution often exceed an offender's term of probation, meaning many offenders are released from probation long before their payments are completed. It becomes considerably more difficult to collect when an offender gets released from probation as, without the consequence of a probation violation, the Probation Department has a very limited ability to impose any kind of sanction for refusal to pay. It is estimated the Probation Department is currently attempting to collect on over $1,000,000 in overdue fines, fees and restitution. This Agreement would allow the Probation Department to refer delinquent accounts to the State of California, Franchise Tax Board (FTB) for collection. The FTB has considerably more resources and authority to impose penalties for refusal to pay. Those penalties include, but are not limited to, setting up tax assessments, seizing income, filing liens or recommending criminal investigations. There would be no additional up-front cost for the County as the Probation Department already has the software and licensing needed. The FTB would collect a fee, not to exceed 15% of any amount collected, but since only those accounts that we have been unable to collect on would be referred, any amount received by Lake County represents a profit. Not only would an increase in collected fines and fees benefit the County, but an increase in restitution collection would help the Probation Department with one of our primary goals of assisting victims with restoration. The Agreement itself does not specifically mention the 15% fee; instead under section 3 "The Maximum amount of this Agreement" it says the FTB will charge an Administration Fee in accordance with the governing R&TC (19280-19283) as amended by subsequent legislation. The relevant section, outlining the fee, of that Revenue and Taxation Code is as follows: California Revenue and Taxation Code 19282. (a) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (e), amounts collected under this article shall be transmitted to the Treasurer and deposited in the State Treasury to the credit of the Court Collection Account in the General Fund, which is hereby created. Amounts deposited in the Court Collection Account shall, less an amount that is equal to the costs incurred by the Franchise Tax Board in administering the program authorized by this article, be transferred by the Controller either to the county or to the state fund to which the amount due was originally owing or as otherwise directed by contractual agreement. If the amount collected is not sufficient to satisfy the amounts referred for collection pursuant to Section 19280 that are to be paid by an offender, then the amount paid shall be allocated for distribution on a pro rata basis, as defined in subdivision (d), except in counties where the board of supervisors has established a priority of payment for amounts collected under this article pursuant to Section 1203.1d of the Penal Code. The amount that is equal to the costs incurred by the Franchise Tax Board in administering the program authorized by this article shall be transferred by the Controller to the General Fund for the purpose of recovering the amount expended by the Franchise Tax Board from General Fund appropriations for the purpose of implementing and administering the program authorized by this article, and related statutes as added or amended by the act adding this article. (b) It is the intent of the Legislature that costs to the Franchise Tax Board to administer this article for the 1997 98 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter not exceed 15 percent of the amount it collects pursuant to this article. I was provided this Agreement in a State of California "Standard Agreement" format. The Agreement does not have Lake County's standard signature lines for County Counsel or Clerk of the Board. County Counsel, Anita Grant and County Administrative Officer, Carol Huchingson have both reviewed and approved of this Agreement. The Agreement format only contains a signature line for "County of Lake, by and through the Probation Department". FISCAL IMPACT: _X_ None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Estimated Cost: Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): As stated, since The FTB fee represents only a percentage of previously uncollectable fines, fees and restitution, this Agreement would represent only potential revenue. STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): None ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve Agreement between the Lake County Probation Department and the State of California Franchise Tax Board and Authorize the Chief Probation Officer to sign it.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Jan Coppinger, Special Districts Administrator DATE: December 21, 2016 SUBJECT: Approve amendment #1 to Memorandum of Understanding between Special Districts and Cobb Area Water District for Water System Consolidation Feasibility Study and Authorize Chair to Sign EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On December 1, 2015, your Board approved $250,000 from Geothermal Mitigation Funds to be used for the feasibility study for consolidation of the water systems in the Cobb Mountain area. On November 22, 2016, your Board approved a memorandum of Understanding between Special Districts and Cobb Area Water District to work jointly on the feasibility study. The Memorandum of Understanding had an administrative error that did not allow the Engineering Consultant to make draw requests for progress payments. The Engineering contract is for a term of eight months and requires a great deal of engineering work and expense. We believe progress payments are reasonable and warranted. The amendment also includes a provision for Cobb Area Water District to submit invoices for reimbursement of staff time dedicated to the feasibility study. We are requesting your Board approve the amendment to the MOU and authorize the Board Chair to sign.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Rob Brown, Chairman, Board of Supervisors FROM: Brian Martin, Sheriff/Coroner DATE: November 15, 2016 SUBJECT: Consideration of Continuation of a Proclamation of a Declaration of a Local Emergency due to Wildfire Conditions, pertaining to the Rocky, Jerusalem and Valley Fires 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.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Rob Brown, Chairman, Board of Supervisors FROM: Brian Martin, Sheriff/Coroner DATE: November 15, 2016 SUBJECT: Consideration of Continuation of a Proclamation of a Declaration of a Local Emergency due to Clayton Fire EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: As your Board is aware, in the afternoon of August 13, 2016, the Clayton Fire began in the area of Clayton Creek Rd. This prompted the activation of the Lake OES Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and Brian Martin, Lake County Sheriff, declared a Local Emergency August 14, 2016. On August 16, 2016, your Board ratified the declaration by Resolution no. 2016-825, confirming the existence of such emergency. As the County seeks funding and performs recovery operations related to tree removal and other fire recovery projects for the Clayton Fire, 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.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Carol J Huchingson, County Administrative Officer DATE: January 3, 2017 SUBJECT: Ordinance Establishing Article XXVIII in Chapter 2 of the County Code Providing the Authority and Procedures for Adopting and Administering a Master Fee Schedule. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On December 6, 2017 staff initially presented the Ordinance establishing Article XXVIII in Chapter 2 of the County Code. Prior to the second reading on December 20, 2017, staff was made aware of the requirement to present the Ordinance as a public hearing with proper notices to the public. Consequently, this Ordinance was removed from your board's agenda on December 20, 2017 and is now being brought before your board again for consideration of adoption. In accordance with your Board's direction, staff has been engaged in the development of a Master Fee Schedule to provide the public with a convenient and transparent single source that reflects all County service fees. In order to adopt a Master Fee Schedule, it is necessary to first establish the corresponding authority and procedures. Consequently, presented for your consideration is an Ordinance which authorizes the use of a Resolution to both adopt a Master Fee Schedule and to make subsequent adjustments thereto. Soon after the effective date of this Ordinance, staff will present the Resolution which will serve to adopt the inaugural Master Fee Schedule. Once adopted, the intent is to update the Master Fee Schedule annually as part of the budget process and other times as needed. The proposed Ordinance also provides for automatic adjustment of state and federal fees without benefit of an amending Resolution when, in those rare occasions, it is necessary to timely apply adjustments in order to maintain compliance with said laws. The approach envisioned by the attached Ordinance will not only provide a user-friendly document for the public but will also streamline the process of adjusting fees. FISCAL IMPACT: _X_ None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Estimated Cost: Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): None STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): None ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance Establishing Article XXVIII in Chapter 2 of the County Code providing the authority and procedures for adopting and administering the Master Fee Schedule. This Ordinance will require the standard two readings provided your Board take action to advance the Ordinance for consideration of passage.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Robert Massarelli, Community Development Director By Keith Gronendyke, Associate Planner SUBJECT: (Continued from September 13, 2016, August 23, 2016, July 26, 2016 and June 28, 2016) 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: January 3, 2017 SUBJECT: Consideration of Plan for New Board Member Training 2017 and Board of Supervisors Protocol 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: As your Board is aware, in November, I attended the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) annual conference and training for new supervisors. During the sessions, I learned that many counties provide additional in-house training to new supervisors to assist in the smooth transition of new leadership. I also learned that as a supplement to their County ordinances delineating the basic rules for Board meetings, many Boards also approve a complementary document each year (the titles of which vary from "Board Procedure", "Board Order and Decorum", "Board Protocol") which establishes simple, additional ground rules for meetings, agenda items, interaction with staff, etc. I am requesting an opportunity to review the attached draft New Board Member Training 2017 with your Board, with the intention of implementing it as soon as possible. This plan not only provides for training by my office and County Counsel, over the course of the coming months, it provides for the new supervisors to meet every department head (both elected and appointed) at their offices, to review mission, goals, mandates, budgets, challenges and to tour facilities and projects, as applicable. I have tentatively scheduled with each Department Head (names in italics are pending confirmation). The intent of this training is to assist each new supervisor in getting off to the best possible start as a decision maker and County leader and although the sessions will go on for some time, County operations are quite expansive and this will be time well spent. Although these sessions are being arranged for the new supervisors, I would also be pleased to coordinate with the department heads to make similar arrangements for the existing supervisors upon request. In addition to training by Department Heads on County operations, the plan also details additional online training requirements and upcoming additional out-of-county CSAC training for new supervisors and in preparation for disaster. I am also requesting an opportunity to review the attached draft Board of Supervisors Protocol 2017. As noted above, this draft includes additional ground rules for Board meetings as well as for interaction with Department Heads and staff. This draft is based on a number of examples from other Counties, on various issues that have arisen here in recent months needing clarification, and all with the intention of furthering our commitment to efficient and effective County government. It should be noted that this first draft Board Protocol is actually more concise than most of the examples reviewed. It is intended that this document would be reviewed and updated this time every year, as needed. At the request of the outgoing Chair, I have included a section in the Protocol on Board member mileage reimbursement. The outgoing Chair has asked to continue this discussion, which was first initiated during 2016-2017 Budget Hearings. At that time, your Board requested information on Board member mileage claims for the preceding year. That information is attached hereto, along with the applicable section of the Lake County Travel Policy and Ordinance Code. This section of the protocol has been left blank pending direction from your Board.
