Agreement
passed on consent
Staff memo
When the County purchased land on Mt. Konocti, it assumed a ground lease with Personal Network Computing Inc. (DBA "Valley Internet") on a peak commonly known as Howard's Peak. The Howard's Peak site serves as a major hub for Valley Internet's delivery of broadband services. The existing ground lease expires in March of 2018.
Besides providing for an initial term of 15 years, the new ground lease has several advantages to the County compared to the existing ground lease including:
1. Requires the Tenant to construct a new more robust Tower within the existing ground lease footprint.
2. Provides the option to extend the Agreement for up to two additional terms of five years each.
3. Incorporates a number of provisions that are consist with the County's standards for liability, indemnification and site control.
4. Provides the County with 50% of revenue from the tenant's sublease of tower space.
5. Provides structured rent increases.
The technical aspects of their proposal have been reviewed and approved by Peter Gruchawka, the County's communications Site Manager for this location.

Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Since cannabis discussions began here, many factors have changed, including passage of SB 94 in June 2017, creating the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA) which integrates the rules of both the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MCRSA) and the Adult-Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), creating one regulatory system for both medicinal and adult-use of cannabis. More recently, in November 2017, the state's three cannabis licensing authorities (the Department of Food and Agriculture's CalCannabis Cultivation Licensing Program, the Department of Consumer Affairs' Bureau of Cannabis Control (BCC), and the Department of Public Health's Manufactured Cannabis Safety Branch) publicly noticed proposed emergency regulations for commercial medicinal and adult-use cannabis.
In addition, earlier this year, your Board directed staff to secure the services of a consultant to assist with development of our local ordinance and resulting policy implementation. Your Board's direction to secure a subject matter expert has proved very valuable. The consultant has been on-board for several months now and is providing needed assistance to navigate the changing cannabis landscape.
As your Board is aware, the state licensing agencies will begin licensing in January. State law requires that the issuance of state licenses be consistent with local regulations and as required by state law, staff has submitted our Article 72 in its present form (which is limited to medical cannabis) to the BCC.
Staff has also been meeting regularly to formulate next steps, including development of a recommended work plan to keep the process moving forward in early 2018. The intent of the work plan is to finalize recreational cannabis provisions in Article 72 in a manner which is consistent with but not duplicative of state regulations, while also concurrently working through operational aspects of implementation with stakeholder department heads.
First, as tentatively approved by the Chair, a series of two-hour cannabis workshops is planned for your Board starting in January, on each third Thursday, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Workshop topics will include an overview of recent changes and approaches in other communities; cultivation for personal use and commercially; manufacturing, testing, distribution, retail and micro business; site standards; policy issues; and, budget and staffing.
Also starting in January, staff will convene a work group of cannabis stakeholder department heads tasked with developing internal policy and addressing implementation issues.
The Cannabis Stakeholder DH's, with both direct and in-direct impacts, include:
Department Role
Admin, Auditor-Controller Revenue & budget impact
Ag Pest management, weights and measures
Air Quality Permitting, emissions controls from grow to retail
Assessor Impact of property values
Behavioral Health Substance abuse services
Child Support Services Licensee compliance with Child Support orders
Community Development Permitting and code enforcement
County Counsel Legal implications and interpretation
Environmental Health Management of wells, hazardous waste, food safety
Human Resources Impact on County staffing
Public Health Consumer health and education
Public Services Solid and vegetative waste management
Sheriff Permittee background checks
Social Services Indigent support and services
Treasurer Cash management
Water Resources Water use, storm management
Your Board may be aware that staff intended to convene this work group during Fall 2017. However, efforts to do so were postponed due to the new Sulphur Fire disaster. All our County department heads are extremely dedicated and focused on the priorities of their offices, many of which are short staffed. It has been challenging, to date, to fully focus on the implications of cannabis, not to mention that doing so may not have been the best use of time until the present, given the legislative and regulatory developments of this past summer and fall.

9.4Consideration of Resolution of Intent to Amend Article 72 of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance
Resolution
Adopted
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Lake County Zoning Ordinance is an "exclusionary" ordinance, i.e. if a use is not specifically allowed, it is prohibited. In regards to the State licensing of commercial cannabis, the State will not issue a state license if it is not allowed by local regulations. There is some question as to if the State will recognize an "exclusionary" ordinance. To prevent the State from issuing commercial cannabis licenses in Lake County contrary to the intent of our ordinance, it is recommended that Article 72 be amended to specifically prohibit all commercial cannabis licenses except for medical Type 1 or medical Type 1C license that are limited to existing medical marijuana collectives that are in compliance with the Article 72. The first step of this process is to adopt an resolution stating the intent to amended Article 72.
