7.4Approve Request to Pay Travel Claims for Elections Officers from the November 8, 2016 Presidential General Election in the total amount of $186.42; and authorize the Auditor to process payment
Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: I would like to request that your Board waive Section 1.4F of the County's Travel Policy requiring travel reimbursement claims to be filed within 60 days of the date the expense was incurred. In addition, I would like to request that your Board approve the mileage claims for the eleven (11) Election Officers who served on a Precinct Board on Election Day, November 8, 2016 and who incurred mileage expenses in connection with the Presidential General Election.
Due to the heavy workload of the November 8, 2016 Presidential General Election, staff did not begin processing the Election Officers' payroll and mileage claims until after the Election results were certified on December 6, 2016. As a result of the delay, it was discovered more than thirty (30) days after the Presidential Election was certified that there were several mileage claim forms that were missing Election Officer's signatures. The attached claim forms could not be submitted for payment until staff returned the mileage claim forms to each of the Election Officers for signature and each of the Election Officers returned their signed forms to the office for processing. This process resulted in the failure of this office to submit the mileage claim forms to the Auditor's office within the 60-day timeframe for submission and payment.
I am attaching the mileage claim forms for each of the Election Officers I have listed below for your Board's consideration, including the amount due to each Election Officer at the County's mileage rate of $0.39 per mile:
Toni Briggs-Vecellio $24.57
Carol Butzbach $29.64
Virginia L. Cline $ 3.51
Richard Colbert $22.23
Joan Edmunds $19.50
Blythe Hinkel $13.26
Theresa Magoolaghan $14.04
Cathy Prather $17.16
Jennifer Ryan $23.40
Anne Sabin $15.99
Kimberly Wright $ 3.12
The combined total amount for the Election Officers' mileage claims listed above is $186.42. I hereby request approval from your Board to authorize the Auditor's office to pay the late mileage claim forms. The amount requested for payment of the mileage claims was included in the Registrar of Voters/Elections Department's 2016-2017 FY budget.

7.5Approve Agreement Between the County of Lake and Martin Franusich, for Information Technology Support of IBM AS/400 Software, Amount not to Exceed $60,000 and Authorize the Chair to Sign.
Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Information Technology Department desires to enter into contract with Martin Franusich for consulting and maintenance services for Legacy and Financial systems in an amount not to exceed $60,000 for the period beginning March 1st, 2017 and ending December 31st, 2017.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Due to the recent retirement of one of our Programmer Analysts, we no longer have sufficient backup for support of the County's primary financial and legacy systems hosted on the IBM iSeries platform. Over the years, this workload has diminished as our systems have been migrated to other platforms and operating systems. Because of this, there is no longer a need for another full time Programmer Analyst to support the system. I have determined that because of the unique skillset needed to maintain these legacy systems, and the low likelihood of finding anyone with experience necessary to support them, it would be most prudent to enter into contract with Mr. Franusich. While day-to-day operational tasks are handled by our current Programmer Analyst and support staff, Mr. Franusich will be able to provide backup and advanced technical consulting when necessary. I am also requesting Mr. Franusich's assistance in creating a plan to migrate remaining legacy systems and applications off of the iSeries platform onto something that is more easily supportable by current staff.
FISCAL IMPACT: __ None __Budgeted _X_Non-Budgeted
Estimated Cost: $60,000
Amount Budgeted: $0
Additional Requested:
Annual Cost (if planned for future years): $15,000
FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative):
While the total cost of the contract for break/fix and maintenance services is expected to be less than the max contract amount, we are hoping to work with Mr. Franusich to assist us in migrating some of the legacy applications away from the iSeries platform. We expect that once these projects are complete, the contracted amount will be reduced significantly. We have sufficient salary savings to cover the cost of this agreement.
STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable):
By leveraging this contract, we will be able to avoid filling a now-vacant Programmer-Analyst position.

Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Sheriff's Department is requesting Your Boards' approval to purchase one (1) Utility Police Interceptor. This vehicle will be a marked patrol vehicle to be used by the Civil Division for civil services. Since it is being paid for by the Sheriff/Civil budget, there is no cost to the County general fund for this purchase.
Vehicle quotes were previously requested from Ukiah Ford, Corning Ford and Downtown Ford with Downtown Ford being the low bidder. There are no local vendors that could provide a bid on this vehicle.
Your Board awarded this bid on August 2, 2016 (#16-743). Downtown Ford has validated their bid is still valid and so we are asking that you waive the normal sealed bid process under Ordinance #2406 and #2582, section 2-41 and award the bid to Downtown Ford in the amount of $28,793 and authorize the Sheriff/Coroner or his designee to issue a purchase order. The budget transfer is being approved as part of the mid-year budget process.

SUBJECT: (a) Waive the formal bidding process, pursuant to Lake County Code Section 38.2, as it is not in the public interest due to the unique nature of goods or services; and (b) Approve the purchase one (1) Utility Police Interceptor from Downtown Ford in the amount of $28,793 from the Sheriff/Civil budget 2207/62.72
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Sheriff's Department is requesting Your Boards' approval to purchase one (1) Utility Police Interceptor. This vehicle will be a marked patrol vehicle to be used by the Civil Division for civil services. Since it is being paid for by the Sheriff/Civil budget, there is no cost to the County general fund for this purchase.
Vehicle quotes were previously requested from Ukiah Ford, Corning Ford and Downtown Ford with Downtown Ford being the low bidder. There are no local vendors that could provide a bid on this vehicle.
Your Board awarded this bid on August 2, 2016 (#16-743). Downtown Ford has validated their bid is still valid and so we are asking that you waive the normal sealed bid process under Ordinance #2406 and #2582, section 2-41 and award the bid to Downtown Ford in the amount of $28,793 and authorize the Sheriff/Coroner or his designee to issue a purchase order. The budget transfer is being approved as part of the mid-year budget process.

Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
I am requesting Board approval to pay the attached travel claim of Carl Jasper, Information System Technician, for required travel on April 25 through April 29, 2016. Mr. Jasper was required to attend training in Sacramento on those dates. He completed his travel claim shortly thereafter and provided it to the Secretary II in his branch. He never received his reimbursement. It is unknown what happened to the paperwork. He was instructed to submit another request in August, but the auditor rejected the claim because at that point it exceeded the 60 day timeframe for submittal. He was not made aware of the denial of his claim until December. It is apparent there was a breakdown of communication and errors in the handling of this claim, but Mr. Jasper was initially timely in the submission of his claim and therefore is not at fault for the late submission. This matter came to my attention very recently. I regret the inconvenience this may cause your Board and the Auditor's office, but, because the late submission is not the fault of Mr. Jasper, I request approval from your Board to pay the claim.

On motion of Supervisor Steele, and by vote of the Board, approved Consent Agenda items 7.1 through 7.13. The motion carried by the following vote:
8. Timed Items
8.19:05 A.M. - Public Input
Clerk’s notes: Ben Hittle and Josephine Augustus spoke.
8.39:15 A.M. - Consideration of Resolution Confirming the Existence of a Local Emergency
Action Item
continued
No action taken. The resolution for a local emergency will be amended and brought back before the Board on March 7, 2017.
Clerk’s notes: Sheriff Brian Martin presented the item to the Board. A series of Atmospheric River storms in California have caused this need for an emergency proclamation. Clear Lake has been in excess of flood stage for two weeks, and is now at 10.4' Rumsey. The lake level is lowering at 1/10th of a foot per day. The Rumsey Dam is releasing 4,710 feet per second. Flooding has caused sewage spills around the lake due to the high water levels. Approximately 2,000 people have been evacuated around Lake County. Emergency shelters throughout the County have been opened to assist the areas of evacuation. The warming shelter at the Seventh Day Adventist Church has opened as an emergency shelter and housed 63 people on Sunday night and 51 people on Monday night. The Red Cross opened a secondary shelter at the National Guard Armory. All shelters will be consolidating tomorrow at 11:00 AM to the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Lakeport, CA.
Public Works Director Scott DeLeon was present and spoke. Mr. DeLeon reported that the Nice-Lucerne cut off has had levees overtopped and the basin is full of water.

Annual Cost (if planned for future years): approximately $16,000.00
FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): The County currently operates two museums: the Historic Courthouse Museum in Lakeport and the Lower Lake Historic Schoolhouse Museum. These museums are managed by the Curator and staffed by an Assistant Curator and five part-time extra help employees. Each of these museums is financially supported in part by a non-profit that raises money to help the County offset costs to the buildings and to pay for public outreach programs. Since the County already owns and maintains the building in which the C. Gibson Museum and Cultural Center is housed, the only added expenses of taking over operation of the museum will be the cost of utilities (approximately $6,000 each year) and the cost of one additional extra help employee (approximately $10,000 each year) to open and close the museum three days a week, Thursday-Saturday, 11:00AM to 4:00PM. The total cost is estimated to be $16,000 each year.

8.59:30 A.M. - HEARING - (Continued from January 24, 2017) Consideration of Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate for property located at 7180 Bartlett Springs Rd (APN 027-135-03 -Walter Niesen and/or Wendy Fetzer, by Ken Striritz)
Report
continued to a future date
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On October 26, 2016, Community Development staff received a Nuisance Abatement Hearing Request Form from the property owner representative Ken Stiritz; see Attachment 1. The Hearing Request form listed the reasons why Mr. Stiritz believes the property should not be considered a public nuisance. The Hearing Request was received due to a Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate; see Attachment 2, being posted on the property and sent certified mail to the property owner(s) of record.
This property is 1.5 acres, zoned "CR" Resort Commercial with only a permitted single family residence located in the Lakeview Pines Subdivision No 1 of Lake County. This property also has multiple "previously occupied", unpermitted, tent like structures/cabins that were being used for special events without the proper permits.
A Major Use permit was applied for on February 6, 2015 but has "not" been approved to date. This has been due to insufficient information submitted by the applicant on the project and due to multiple changes by the applicant to the project after initial submittal to the Community Development Department.
The Lake County Zoning Ordinance; Chapter 21, Sections 2.4, 2.6, 17.5 and 2013 and 2016 California Building Code; Chapter 1, Section 1.8.4.1 does not allow for building without permits.
The construction that has been performed is substandard due to the lack of permits and could be difficult to bring into compliance with the current California Building Code(s). And since no building permit application(s) have been submitted, or a building permit obtained, staff does not have information concerning compliance with any setbacks, seasonal streams, driveway, parking or requirements from other local and state agencies.
A drive-by site visit was conducted on October 17, 2016 and it was confirmed that many violations of Lake County and California Codes existed. On October 25, 2016, Code Enforcement staff obtained an Inspection Warrant from a Lake County Superior Court Judge to enter the property and inspect for violations. Code Enforcement staff also coordinated with Lake County Environmental Health and the Lake County Sheriff's office to assist in the inspection. On October 26, 2016, staff from Code Enforcement, Environmental Health and a Deputy from the Lake County Sheriff's Office entered the property without resistance. Upon Code Enforcements inspection, many violations were observed. Environmental Health will be conducting a separate investigation and determination of this property.
On December 7, 2016 a permit; #16-17-0859 was issued for the demolition of two (2) tent structures, three (3) cabins and illegal electrical.
Due to the Nuisance Abatement Hearing Request received on October 26, 2016 any future abatement actions are stayed until otherwise resolved before or at the hearing
..Recommended Action
Therefore, Code Enforcement Staff recommends that the Board uphold the Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate dated October 26, 2016 and authorize staff to move forward with the abatement process and clean up the property of any remaining open and outdoor storage, demolish any/all remaining
unpermitted or substandard building(s) located on the property unless directed by the Board to do otherwise.

D. Site visit photos
E. Draft Planning Commission Minutes dated October 27, 2016
F. Planning Commission Staff Report dated October 27, 2016
I. BACKGROUND
The timely appeal (Exhibit A) was filed by the applicant's representative Andre Ross. The applicant is appealing the Planning Commission's October 27, 2016 unanimous decision approving Use Permit UP 16-01, specifically conditions of approval numbers 4, 5, and 6 (Exhibit B), for a five year renewal of an existing billboard located at 131 Soda Bay Road in the Commercial/Manufacturing zoning district. This is the third renewal since the billboard was originally approved in 1995. Staff conducted a site visit prior to the Planning Commission hearing and determined that the sign has not been maintained as required by conditions of approval from previous renewals (Exhibit C) and as required by Section 45.27(b) of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance, "Signs shall be maintained in a good state of repair. Sign copy that is faded, torn or peeling shall be replaced, repaired or repainted."
II. APPEAL DISCUSSION
The appellant's plea is summarized as follows:
* "Renewed Major Use Permit now incorporates new annual fees".
* "Conditions of use unsupported by facts or law".
* "New fees were imposed by Planning Department in relation to issues that have not yet arisen, e.g. future maintenance of existing signage".
* "New conditions of use have been imposed regarding site access and property owners' agreement to waive legal protections against non-consensual entry onto private property".
Mitigation Monitoring Fee
The applicant is appealing Condition of Approval number six (6) (Exhibit B). The Planning Commission has the authority to assess a mitigation monitoring fee because the applicant has not followed the Conditions of Approval for previous renewals (Exhibit C) requiring ongoing maintenance of the sign. The fee is justified through Ordinance 3037, passed by the Board of Supervisors on March 22, 2016. Staff determined that an annual inspection of the billboard is necessary to verify the maintenance of the sign and to contact the owner if a maintenance issue arises. This mitigation monitoring fee will compensate the County for staff time spent in ensuring consistent sign maintenance for the life of the project as required by conditions of approval.
Sign Maintenance Plan
The applicant is appealing Conditions of Approval numbers four (4) and five (5) (Exhibit B). The Planning Commission has the authority to require a sign maintenance plan because the applicant has not followed the Conditions of Approval for past renewals that require sign maintenance for the life of the project. Additionally, access by maintenance vehicles to the sign is not clear. The sign maintenance plan condition included that ingress and egress into the subject parcel be demonstrated. The property where the sign is located is currently under development as a mini-storage facility. Buildout of the mini storage includes the installation of a building on an existing pad located just below the billboard which is located just above the pad on a ridge. Based on the location of the existing building pad, with respect to the location of the sign, it appears a new building would block the access for maintenance vehicles. At the hearing the applicant stated that they currently have verbal not contractual access to the sign through the Redi-Mix property. The Planning Commission confirmed that a contractual access agreement was required and approved the project with the incorporated conditions. The maintenance plan condition requires that the plan is signed by the property owner demonstrating agreement that the build out of the ministorage will not impede sign maintenance vehicles.
..Recommended Action
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors deny the appeal and uphold the previously approved the renewal with the new conditions 4, 5, and 6 (Exhibit B). With these new conditions of approval, this sign will meet consistently the requirements of Section 51.4 of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance.

This is the third renewal since the billboard was originally approved in 1995. Staff conducted a site visit prior to the Planning Commission hearing and determined that the sign has not been maintained as required by conditions of approval from previous renewals (Exhibit C) and as required by Section 45.27(b) of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance, "Signs shall be maintained in a good state of repair. Sign copy that is faded, torn or peeling shall be replaced, repaired or repainted."
II. APPEAL DISCUSSION
The appellant's plea is summarized as follows:
* "Renewed Major Use Permit now incorporates new annual fees".
* "Conditions of use unsupported by facts or law".
* "New fees were imposed by Planning Department in relation to issues that have not yet arisen, e.g. future maintenance of existing signage".
* "New conditions of use have been imposed regarding site access and property owners' agreement to waive legal protections against non-consensual entry onto private property".
Mitigation Monitoring Fee
The applicant is appealing Condition of Approval number six (6) (Exhibit B). The Planning Commission has the authority to assess a mitigation monitoring fee because the applicant has not followed the Conditions of Approval for previous renewals (Exhibit C) requiring ongoing maintenance of the sign. The fee is justified through Ordinance 3037, passed by the Board of Supervisors on March 22, 2016. Staff determined that an annual inspection of the billboard is necessary to verify the maintenance of the sign and to contact the owner if a maintenance issue arises. This mitigation monitoring fee will compensate the County for staff time spent in ensuring consistent sign maintenance for the life of the project as required by conditions of approval.
Sign Maintenance Plan
The applicant is appealing Conditions of Approval numbers four (4) and five (5) (Exhibit B). The Planning Commission has the authority to require a sign maintenance plan because the applicant has not followed the Conditions of Approval for past renewals that require sign maintenance for the life of the project. Additionally, access by maintenance vehicles to the sign is not clear. The sign maintenance plan condition included that ingress and egress into the subject parcel be demonstrated. The property where the sign is located is currently under development as a mini-storage facility. Buildout of the mini storage includes the installation of a building on an existing pad located just below the billboard which is located just above the pad on a ridge. Based on the location of the existing building pad, with respect to the location of the sign, it appears a new building would block the access for maintenance vehicles. At the hearing the applicant stated that they currently have verbal not contractual access to the sign through the Redi-Mix property. The Planning Commission confirmed that a contractual access agreement was required and approved the project with the incorporated conditions. The maintenance plan condition requires that the plan is signed by the property owner demonstrating agreement that the build out of the ministorage will not impede sign maintenance vehicles.
..Recommended Action
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors deny the appeal and uphold the previously approved the renewal with the new conditions 4, 5, and 6 (Exhibit B). With these new conditions of approval, this sign will meet consistently the requirements of Section 51.4 of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance.

A site visit revealed that the sign had not been adequately maintained as required by conditions of approval from previous renewals (Exhibit C) and as required by Section 45.27(b) of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance, "Signs shall be maintained in a good state of repair.

The fee is justified through Ordinance 3037, passed by the Board of Supervisors on March 22, 2016. Based on the long standing unmaintained condition of the sign infrastructure, it appears that the sign is not monitored for maintenance. Staff determined that an annual inspection of the billboard was necessary to verify the maintenance of the sign and to contact the owner if a maintenance issue arises. This mitigation monitoring fee will compensate the County for staff time spent in ensuring consistent sign maintenance for the life of the project as required by conditions of approval.
Sign Maintenance Plan
The applicant is appealing Conditions of Approval numbers four (4) and five (5) (Exhibit B). The Planning Commission has the authority to require a sign maintenance plan because as discussed in section I of this memo, the applicant has not followed the Conditions of Approval for past renewals requiring sign maintenance for the life of the project. There is a mapped wetland area near the access point from the easement into the subject property. The condition requiring a maintenance plan which needs to include the location of the ingress and egress into the subject parcel is required to ensure that the wetland is not being disturbed.

9.5Consideration of Notice of Settlement Between Various State Attorneys General and Barclays Bank, PLC and Barclays Capital, Inc.
Action Item
approved — Pass
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The County has received notice regarding the above-referenced settlement. The County of Lake is entitled to participate in the settlement if the County determines to execute an Election to Participate and Release Form, which is attached hereto. The County would then receive $13,062.74, but would give up any right to sue Barclays independently for certain claims brought against Barclays which relate to this settlement.
The settlement is based upon allegations that Barclays Bank, PLC. and Barclays Capital, Inc. failed to disclose, except to certain counterparties, that its LIBOR submissions and those of other financial institutions were sometimes artificially low and/or inaccurate. LIBOR, the London Interbank -Offered Rate, is the basic rate of interest used in lending between banks. The County's share is based only on U.S.Dollar LIBOR referencing transactions the County had with Barclays.
To receive the above-described settlement payment, the Election to Participate and Release Form must be post-marked no later than March 1, 2017.
The Administrative Office, the Office of the Auditor-Controller, and the Office of the Treasurer-Tax Collector have all been given the opportunity to review this proposed settlement prior to the matter coming to your Board.

9.6Consideration of Approval of New Extra Help Classification and Salary for Extra Help Clerical Support
Action Item
approved — Pass
Staff memo
Staff submits for your Board's consideration and approval the creation of an Extra Help Clerical Support classification, tied to the California minimum wage. Currently California minimum wage is $10.50 per hour.
There are various departments within the County that use extra help staff to perform clerical, administrative and general support work. In many cases, departments want the option to hire and train individuals who do not have previous office/administrative work experience; however, under our current classification system all of our clerical/office support positions require at least one (1) year of previous experience. The creation of the Extra Help Clerical Support classification will give departments the option to hire individuals without previous experience (for example, high school students, recent graduates, individuals who are changing career fields, etc.) on an extra help basis.
Staff is requesting to tie the salary to the California minimum wage, rather than a specific grade or salary as the California minimum wage is scheduled to increase each year for the next several years (through January 2022). Tying the salary to minimum wage will allow departments to continue to use this classification on an on-going basis, without your Board needing to adjust the salary each year when the minimum wage changes.

In many cases, departments want the option to hire and train individuals who do not have previous office/administrative work experience; however, under our current classification system all of our clerical/office support positions require at least one (1) year of previous experience. The creation of the Extra Help Clerical Support classification will give departments the option to hire individuals without previous experience (for example, high school students, recent graduates, individuals who are changing career fields, etc.) on an extra help basis.
Staff is requesting to tie the salary to the California minimum wage, rather than a specific grade or salary as the California minimum wage is scheduled to increase each year for the next several years (through January 2022). Tying the salary to minimum wage will allow departments to continue to use this classification on an on-going basis, without your Board needing to adjust the salary each year when the minimum wage changes.

9.7Consideration of Approval of Classification and Compensation Committee Findings and Recommendations
Action Item
approved — Pass
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Classification and Compensation Committee is in the process of reviewing reclassification and salary adjustment requests that were submitted. These requests are for both out-of-cycle requests to be effective immediately upon the completion of this process, and in-cycle requests to be effective on July 1, 2017 for the Fiscal Year 2017-2018. The Committee met, reviewed and discussed these requests, and made Committee determinations.
Below you will find a partial list of the requests that were received by the Committee, the Committee's recommendation for each request and the reason(s) for the Committee's determination.
Assessor-Recorder
Cadastral Mapping Specialist to Cadastral Mapping Technician I/II/Cadastral Mapping Specialist
The Assessor-Recorder's Office requested to create Cadastral Mapping Technician I/II classifications, and flex these new classifications with an existing Cadastral Mapping Specialist position.
Proposed Grade and entry step:
Cadastral Mapping Technician I: A14 $15.15/hr
Cadastral Mapping Technician II: A16 $16.71/hr
Committee Action: The Committee recommends approving the request outside of the normal reclassification cycle.
Reasoning: The department is required to have a staff member performing cadastral mapping functions, however, cadastral mapping is not commonly taught or used outside of Assessor's Offices, and there are a very limited number of individuals who would qualify for the current position. Creating the flex classification will allow the department to bring in an entry-level staff member and train them in the cadastral mapping functions.
Cost Information: This change will either be cost neutral or a reduction to the general fund, depending on the level filled.
(Requires Meet and Confer)
Auditor-Controller/County Clerk
Accounting Technician/Senior Accounting Technician to Accounting Technician-Auditor I/II
The Auditor-Controller/County Clerk's Office has requested to reclassify existing Accounting Technician/Senior Accounting Technician class series to Accounting Technician-Auditor I/II class series.
Proposed Grade and entry step:
Accounting Technician-Auditor I: B13 $14.79/hr
Accounting Technician-Auditor II: B16 $17.12/hr
Committee Action: The Committee recommends approving the request outside of the normal reclassification cycle.
Reasoning: Staff in the Auditor-Controller's Office assigned to this class series are responsible for advising and auditing the fiscal data of accounting/fiscal staff county-wide, as well as for special districts, schools, etc. The required accounting skills and knowledge of various accounting systems/codes throughout all County departments are better described by the Accounting Technician-Auditor I/II class series.
Cost Information: This increase will result in an increase to the general fund.
(Requires Meet and Confer)
Accounting Technician/Senior Accounting Technician to Payroll Specialist I/II
The Auditor-Controller/County Clerk's Office has requested to reclassify a vacant Accounting Technician/Senior Accounting Technician to a Payroll Specialist I/II class series.
Proposed Grade and entry step:
Payroll Specialist I: A14 $15.15/hr
Payroll Specialist II: A17 $17.54/hr
Committee Action: The Committee recommends approving the request outside of the normal reclassification cycle.
Reasoning: The payroll functions are a critical function of the Auditor-Controller's Office, and there is a need for another specialized payroll classification to provide the needed level of expertise and experience, as well as having the ability to back up the more complex functions performed by the Payroll Coordinator.
Cost Information: This increase will result in an increase to the general fund.
(Requires Meet and Confer)
Senior Accounting Technician to Deputy County Clerk/Fiscal Support
The Auditor-Controller/County Clerk's Office has requested to reclassify an existing, vacant Senior Accounting Technician position to a Deputy County Clerk/Fiscal Support.
Proposed Grade and entry step: A17 $17.54/hr
Committee Action: The Committee recommends approving the request outside of the normal reclassification cycle.
Reasoning: Staff assigned to assist with the County Clerk functions are required to do a wide variety of specialized duties that are complex and regulated at the state level. The scope and level of work are better described by a unique Deputy County Clerk/Fiscal Support classification.
Cost Information: This increase will result in an increase to the general fund.
(Requires Meet and Confer)
Animal Care and Control
Animal Control Facility Supervisor to Kennel Coordinator
The Animal Care and Control Department has requested to reclassify the Animal Control Facilities Supervisor to a Kennel Coordinator.
Proposed Grade and entry step: A12 $13.74/hr
Committee Action: The Committee recommends approving the request.
Reasoning: The Animal Control Facilities Supervisor was created to provide a supervisory position within the Animal Care and Control Department in addition to the Animal Control Director. In 2016, the County re-established the Deputy Director of Animal Control, eliminating the need for this supervisory classification.
Cost Information: This will have no fiscal impact as the incumbent will be Y-rated at her current rate of pay.
(Requires Meet and Confer)
Account Clerk II to Secretary II
The Animal Care and Control Department has requested to reclassify the Account Clerk II to a Secretary II
Proposed Grade and entry step: B13 $14.79/hr
Committee Action: The Committee recommends approving the request.
Reasoning: The Account Clerk II incumbent is responsible for both fiscal and office support functions which are better described by the Secretary II classification.
Cost Information: This reclassification will result in an increase to the general fund.
(Requires Meet and Confer)
Probation
Chief Deputy Probation Officer I/II to Chief Deputy Probation Officer
The Human Resources Department, with the concurrence of the Probation Department requested to consolidate the Chief Deputy Probation Officer I/II flex series to a discrete Chief Deputy Probation Officer.
Proposed Grade and entry step: C28 $5295/month
Committee Action: The Committee recommends approving the request.
Reasoning: The flex series was created when the Probation Department was responsible for running the Juvenile Hall. Now that the Juvenile Hall has closed, the positions should be consolidated to reflect the current duties of the position.
Cost Information: This reclassification will result in an increase to the general fund.
Public Services
Solid Waste Heavy Equipment Operator to Solid Waste Leadworker
The Public Services Department has requested to reclassify an existing, vacant Solid Waste Heavy Equipment Operator position to a Solid Waste Leadworker.
Proposed Grade and entry step: A21 $21.32/hr
Committee Action: The Committee recommends approving the request outside of the normal reclassification cycle with a change in title to Landfill Operations Supervisor.
Reasoning: The County landfill is a seven-day per week operation, however, the Landfill Manager is currently the only supervisory/management position over the landfill so there are times that there is no supervisory staff on-site. Creating the Landfill Operations Supervisor classification will help ensure that there is appropriate supervision at the landfill at all times.
Cost Information: This change will not result in an increase to the general fund, as this is a self-funded division.
(Requires Meet and Confer)
Senior Accounting Technician to Accountant I/II
The Public Services Department has requested to reclassify the Senior Accounting Technician to an Accountant I/II
Proposed Grade and entry step:
Accountant I: B18 $18.88/hr
Accountant II: B20 $20.81/hr
Committee Action: The Committee recommends approving the request.
Reasoning: The level of fiscal support work performed by this position, in the context of a larger reorganization is better described by the Accountant I/II class series.
Cost Information: This change will not result in an increase to the general fund, as this is a self-funded division.
(Requires Meet and Confer)
Public Services Analyst I/II to Project Specialist
The Public Services Department has requested to reclassify a vacant Public Services Analyst I/II position to a Project Specialist.
Proposed Grade and entry step: A20 $20.31/hr
Committee Action: The Committee recommends approving the request.
Reasoning: The needs of the department have changed over time, and creating a Project Specialist position will better meet the current needs of the department.
Cost Information: This change will be a cost-savings or cost neutral.
(Requires Meet and Confer)
Museum Curator to Museum Manager
The Public Services Department as part of a reorganization requested to reclassify the Museum Curator to Museum Manager.
Proposed Grade and entry step: A25 $25.92/hr
Committee Action: The Committee recommends denying this request, however, recommends a salary adjustment for the Museum Curator from Grade B16 (entry step $17.12) to Grade B18 (entry step $18.88) outside of the normal reclass cycle.
Reasoning: While the Committee believed that the addition of another museum warranted an increase in salary for the Museum Curator, it does not change the scope of work sufficiently enough to justify increasing the salary dramatically (47.5%), or making this a management position.
Cost Information: This increase will result in an increase to the general fund.
Sheriff-Coroner
Law Enforcement Records Technician I/II/III
The Human Resources Department, with the concurrence of the Sheriff-Coroner requested a salary adjustment for the Law Enforcement Records Technician I/II/III class series.
Grade and entry step:
Law Enforcement Records Technician I: A10 $12.47/hr
Law Enforcement Records Technician II: A11 $13.74/hr
Law Enforcement Records Technician III: A14 $15.91/hr
Committee Action: The Committee recommends approving the request.
Reasoning: The Law Enforcement Records Technician series was intended as a higher level class series than the Office Assistant series due to the specialized nature of the law enforcement support work, CLETS work, etc. The adjusted salaries are more appropriate for the work performed by this class series.
Cost Information: This reclassification will result in an increase to the general fund.
(Requires Meet and Confer)
Treasurer-Tax Collector
Collections Supervisor bargaining unit change
The Human Resources Department, with the concurrence of the Treasurer-Tax Collector submitted a request to change the bargaining unit for the Collections Supervisor from LCEA Unit 4 (non-supervisory) to LCEA Unit 3 (supervisory).
Grade and entry step: A19 $19.34/hr
Committee Action: The Committee recommends approving the request.
Reasoning: The Collections Supervisor position has been in the wrong bargaining unit, and this change will correct that error.
Cost Information: This will have no fiscal impact.

9.8Consideration and Discussion of Hoberg’s Historical Association Gate Fee Charge Account at Eastlake Landfill
Action Item
continued
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On June 21, 2016 the Board approved terms for an Eastlake Landfill gate fee charge account with Lake County Partners, LLC, for the disposal of an anticipated 5,026 tons of waste to be generated from the Valley Fire cleanup efforts at Hoberg's Resort at 15205 State Highway 175 in Cobb. The terms approved by the Board were a payment-free and interest-free grace period of six months from the date of first waste disposal at the landfill with interest at an annual rate of 1.97% applied to the account balance following the six month grace period, and full account payment to be made no later than forty eight months following each waste disposal at the landfill. In order to secure those terms with Lake County Partners, and further ensure payment of all gate fees through a promissory note, staff prepared a draft agreement which was provided to Lake County Partners for review. Lake County Partners has since been sold to Hoberg's Historical Association (HHA), and staff has been unsuccessful negotiating a mutually amenable agreement. The agreement as proposed by the County is attached, as well as the most recent agreement as proposed by HHA with mark-ups shown. As of February 17, HHA has transported 890.72 tons of waste to the landfill amounting to an account balance of $45,533.63. HHA has not provided the requested estimate of remaining waste to be delivered to the landfill, but using their own previous estimate of "less than $200,000" equates to approximately 3,000 tons of remaining waste.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff requests Board direction regarding the HHA gate fee charge account.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On August 8, 2016, the Department of Public Works issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Engineering Services for Replacement of Four HBP-Funded Bridges. The bridges included in this RFP were Clover Creek Bridge at First Street (14C-0015), Clover Creek Bridge at Bridge Arbor North Road (14C-0022), Clayton Creek Bridge at Clayton Creek Road (14C-0031), and Cooper Creek at Witter Springs Road (14C-0119).
Proposals were received from Burne Engineering and Quincy Engineering as a result of the solicitation. A Consultant Selection Board (CSB) reviewed the proposals in accordance with Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual (LAPM), Chapter 10, and the County of Lake policy for review and selection of professional consultants, and ranked Quincy Engineering as the top-ranked firm. Staff negotiated the proposed fee with Quincy and they have agreed that the fee for their services will not exceed the following amounts:
Clover Creek Bridge at First Street (14C-0015) $361,929.10
Clover Creek Bridge at Bridge Arbor North Road (14C-0022) $383,133.19
Clayton Creek Bridge at Clayton Creek Road (14C-0031) $339,438.91
Cooper Creek at Witter Springs Road (14C-0119) $329,164.77
Staff has prepared four stand-alone agreements since each bridge is funded under its own separate Federal Project Number.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Caltrans offer Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) funds and California Toll Credit funds to eligible projects such as this project. The FHWA, in an agreement with Caltrans, provides for the use of toll credits in lieu of local matching funds. Therefore, this project is 100% funded, through construction, with state and federal funds.

9.11Consideration of Letters of Support for Assembly Bill AB1 (Frazier) and Senate Bill SB1 (Beall) for Transportation Funding and Reform
Letter
approved — Pass
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
There are two bills related to Transportation funding that are currently being considered by State legislators, and today's item is to consider letters of support for those proposed bills.
As your Board is aware, funding for road maintenance has historically been tied to the sale of fuel and a gasoline tax. As vehicle manufacturers develop more and more efficient vehicles to comply with greenhouse gas reduction goals, and as alternative fuel vehicles become more prevalent, we are seeing a reduction in fuel sales statewide. In Lake County, our "gas-tax" revenues have dropped nearly $1.3 million since a peak in FY 2013/14, and based on our most recent pavement condition study, roads in Lake County are approaching being considered the worse in the state with a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 41, or a rating of Poor.
Revenue estimates for the proposed bills indicate an annual increase of $4.8 million dollars annually to Lake County, and funds of this magnitude will allow us to perform significantly more pavement preservation projects which will result in an improvement in our overall PCI.
