Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Attached is the County employee life insurance rate renewal notice. The County has a calendar-year agreement with CSAC EIA to provide health, dental, vision and life insurance for the County's permanent employees. However, the life insurance rates were subject to renegotiation as rates were guaranteed only through 6/30/2017. This new rate renewal is for a guarantee period from 7/1/2017 - 6/30/2020.
As your Board is aware, the County pays for Basic insurance for permanent County employees and their covered dependents and AD&D insurance for permanent County employees. Permanent County employees are also offered the option to purchase Supplemental Life insurance at their own cost. Retirees covered by the County's Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance bundle pay for their own life insurance.
The following is a comparison of the County's current life insurance rates with the rates for the new guarantee period:
* Supplemental Life rates will not change.
* Employee Basic and AD&D rates will decrease from $1.11 per month to $1.04 per month.
* Dependent Basic rates will decrease from $0.41 per month to $0.39 per month.
* Retiree Life insurance rates will decrease from $0.22 per month to $0.21 per month.

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.

Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In October of 1992, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 2114 establishing a Fire Mitigation Fee Program that is applicable on new construction. Pursuant to that Ordinance, each local fire district adopted a Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plan, which serves as the basis for the findings that support each district's requested fire mitigation fees. Those individual Plans and findings were then collectively adopted by your Board to become the Lake County Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plan.
The subject Ordinance also directs the fire districts to annually submit a resolution which reflects re-adoption of their findings and a request to continue imposition of their fire mitigation fees. Similarly, Government Code Section 66002 requires that the Lake County Fire Facility and Equipment Plan be updated annually by resolution at a noticed public hearing. This update consists of each district's re-adopted findings as well as their Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plans as may be amended.
Each of the fire districts has now submitted the appropriate resolutions which staff has found sufficient to meet the requirements of Ordinance No. 2114. Of particular note is that Lake County Fire Protection District is proposing to increase its fee from 60 cents to $1.00 per sq.ft. for all buildings, both sprinklered and unsprinklered. This increase will conform Lake County Fire's mitigation fee to that of all the other fire districts.
The attached County resolution serves to collectively approve the individual resolutions of each fire district, update the Lake County Fire Facility and Equipment Plan, and authorize collection of the indicated fire mitigation fees.

DATE: April 11, 2017
SUBJECT: 9:30 A.M. - PUBLIC HEARING - Consideration of Resolution Approving Resolutions and Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plans Submitted by Lake County Fire Agencies and Updating the Lake County Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plan
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In October of 1992, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 2114 establishing a Fire Mitigation Fee Program that is applicable on new construction. Pursuant to that Ordinance, each local fire district adopted a Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plan, which serves as the basis for the findings that support each district's requested fire mitigation fees. Those individual Plans and findings were then collectively adopted by your Board to become the Lake County Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plan.
The subject Ordinance also directs the fire districts to annually submit a resolution which reflects re-adoption of their findings and a request to continue imposition of their fire mitigation fees. Similarly, Government Code Section 66002 requires that the Lake County Fire Facility and Equipment Plan be updated annually by resolution at a noticed public hearing.

Staff memo
The Geysers, a baseload renewable resource located in Lake and Sonoma Counties, is one of the world's largest geothermal resources. While not infinite, there are opportunities for new energy at The Geysers. More importantly, existing energy currently being generated must secure long-term, sustainable contracts to continue operating.
Calpine has a 250 Megawatt (MW) contract coming off contract at the end of 2021. In order to preserve the over 300 full-time and hundreds of contracting jobs that Calpine supports with their annual $50 -$70 million a year spend on operations and maintenance, as well as associated local benefits, Calpine must continue to contract all of their Geysers' power, and they believe AB 920 will help.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: Rob Brown, District 5 Supervisor
DATE: April 11, 2017
SUBJECT: Consideration of Letter of Support for Assembly Bill (AB) 920 (Aguiar-Curry)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The State of California, a leader in the use of renewable energy, set its Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) in 2002. The RPS has very successfully encouraged more wind and solar energy, but constant output, also known as baseload, renewable resources, such as geothermal, has not grown.
The Geysers, a baseload renewable resource located in Lake and Sonoma Counties, is one of the world's largest geothermal resources. While not infinite, there are opportunities for new energy at The Geysers. More importantly, existing energy currently being generated must secure long-term, sustainable contracts to continue operating.
Calpine has a 250 Megawatt (MW) contract coming off contract at the end of 2021.

9.5(Sitting as Lake County Sanitation District) - Consideration of Resolution Authorizing and Designating Special District’s Administrator, or her Designee, to sign and submit funding Agreement Application and any Amendments thereto for Funding under the State Water Resources Control Board for Construction of a Public Sewer System for the Anderson Springs Community in the amount of $7,436,000.
Resolution
Adopted — Pass
Staff memo
The community of Anderson Springs surrounds Anderson Creek, a small natural stream that flows into Putah Creek. In 1990, an engineering report found that Anderson Springs was located in a poorly suited area for on-site sewage disposal because of small lot size and shallow, course soil conditions.
In September 2015, 198 of the 212 homes in the Anderson Springs Community burned in the Valley Fire. Most of these homes cannot be rebuilt under current building and set back codes without a sewer system. Various agencies and individuals have been working together to fund and construct a sewer system. The State Water Resources Control Board granted a $564,000 Planning Grant for Engineering, Design and Survey work. That work is nearing completion and we are ready to apply for construction funding. The estimated cost of the sewer system is $10,545,895.00
We are applying for a grant of $7,436,000.00 from the State Water Resources Control Board, $1,500,000 from Housing and Community development and $983,395 from USDA.

Resolution
Adopted — Pass
Staff memo
In 2014, CSA2 received a $960,000 Proposition 84 Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) DROUGHT GRANT from The State Water Resources Control Board. Although the funds were not sufficient to replace the entire distribution system, we were able to replace parts of the system that were in the worst condition and loop a portion of the system to provide improved water quality and less line flushing. The Emergency Drought Grant funded project was a success as we are realizing approximately 30% reduction in the amount of water being produced.
Now that the IRWM Grant project has been completed we can focus on the remaining areas of the distribution system. There are some old, deteriorated, mains in the distribution network which should be replaced with modern materials. Compounding the problems is the varied terrain of the community. The pressure in the system must be high enough to maintain State mandated minimum pressures at higher elevations. This results in high operating pressures in the lower elevation areas of the community further stressing the aging infrastructure.
We would like to apply for a Planning Grant in the amount of $500,000 to conduct engineering for the replacement of the remainder of the distribution system. We intend to conduct hydraulic modeling to identify pressure zones and a solution to the problems that result in varying pressures and needs. Another objective of the Planning Grant would be to conduct the necessary environmental studies and reports to enable us to request a construction grant to complete the identified project.
