7.6Adopt Resolution Authorizing Conducting Criminal Background Checks for Commercial Cannabis Licensing Purposes Resolution passed on consent approved
Carried 4-0 — moved by Scott
Brown: aye Scott: aye Simon: aye Smith: absent Steele: aye
Staff memo

Date: March 6, 2018 · To: Jim Steele, Chairman, Board of Supervisors · From: Brian L. Martin, Sheriff/Coroner · Subject: Adopt Resolution Authorizing Conducting Criminal Background Checks for Commercial Cannabis Licensing Purposes

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: With the likely forthcoming implementation of local commercial cannabis rules, regulations and ordinances, it is apparent that the Lake County Sheriff's Office will be responsible for conducting background checks on applicants for commercial cannabis licenses and/or permits. A part of those checks include a review of summary criminal history information that is obtained from the California Department of Justice by electronically submitting fingerprints to that agency through a process commonly referred to as "Livescan". The Sheriff's Office currently has the authority and the ability to run Livescan checks on subjects for licensing, employment, certification, or other such activities, however we are only provided California summary criminal history information through our current process. In order to review interstate records and records held by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, it is necessary to obtain the proper authorization from your Board by way of Resolution granting that authority. Upon receipt of an adopted Resolution, we may submit it with an application to the FBI for access to FBI summary criminal history information that will reveal convictions for crimes in jurisdictions outside California. The approval process takes several weeks from the time of the application. This ability to review multi-state summary criminal history information will allow the Sheriff's Office to properly vet applicants for permits and/or licenses for commercial cannabis activity to ensure that only qualified people are licensed. The Sheriff's Office requests your Board's consideration and adoption of the attached Resolution which provides the necessary authorization from the governing body. FISCAL IMPACT: _x_ None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Estimated Cost: Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): N/A STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): N/A ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution Authorizing Conducting Criminal Background Checks for Commercial Cannabis Licensing Purposes

Lake County and the Lake County Employee's Association (LCEA) units 3, 4, and 5 met in starting April 2017.

Staff memo

Date: March 6, 2018 · To: Board of Supervisors · From: Robert Massarelli, Community Development Department · Subject: PUBLIC HEARING - Consideration of Proposed Amendments to Chapter 21, Article 27 of the Lake County Code to Regulate the Cultivation of Cannabis

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Attached is the updated draft Cannabis Cultivation Ordinance. The current draft reflects direction given by the Planning Commission at their February 8, 2018 meeting, as well as direction by the Board at the February 15, 2018 Special Meeting Workshop. A strikethrough version has been supplied to help the Board quickly understand the basis for the various text changes. This ordinance regulates the cultivation of personal adult use, patient, primary caregiver and commercial cannabis. The regulation takes place through ministerial and conditional use permits, depending on the type and size of cultivation proposed. The ordinance includes provisions for development standards, site standards, compliance monitoring, reporting requirements, prohibited activities, protection of minors, commercial cannabis cultivation exclusion zones, and enforcement procedures. FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): The fiscal impact of the cannabis regulatory system is not included in the current budget. Permit fees have been formulated to cover the cost of processing and managing the permits. As an entirely new program, should a fee adjustment become necessary, it will come to the Board for consideration in the future. STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): Staffing impact is unknown and dependent on the number of permit applications allowed. ..Recommended Action If the Board has no further amendments, staff recommends approval of the first reading of the ordinance and its advancement to the next available meeting.

Staff memo

Date: March 6, 2018 · To: Board of Directors · From: Jan Coppinger, Special Districts Administrator · Subject: (Sitting as Kelseyville County Waterworks District #3, Board of Directors) - Consideration of a Resolution approving Solar Equipment Finance Agreement with TCF Equipment Finance in the Amount of $951,800 and authorize Special Districts Administrator to sign EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On November 14, 2017, your Board approved an agreement between North Coast Solar and Kelseyville County Waterworks Dist. NO 3 (KCWWD#3) for the installation of a 251 kW solar array at the Kelseyville Wastewater Treatment Plant. At that time, your Board authorized staff to apply for financing with TCF Equipment Finance, a division of TCF National Bank for the purchase of the solar array. The financing agreement has been approved with the following terms: Purchase Price of Equipment $754,420.00 Interest Rate 4.95% $197,380.00 Total Cost $951,800.00

The total cost will be paid over ten years at $95,180 per year, which amounts to $7,931 per month. This array will supply the wastewater treatment plant energy needs. The average PGE bill for the wastewater treatment plant has been over $9,000 per month for the last two years and PGE is increasing each year. When this equipment is installed and in use, KVCWW#3 will realize a savings of over $1,000 per month in operating costs and at the end of ten years, the saving will exceed $9,000 per month. The calculations above are based on sunny conditions and may vary during long periods of cloudy conditions. Regardless of weather, we do anticipate a slight decrease in operating costs immediately and a large decrease in ten years. The payments are due annually with the first payment of $95,180 due in September, 2018. FISCAL IMPACT: __ None _X_Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): The solar array will reduce operating costs by approximately $1,000 per month until paid in full. At that time, the reduction in operating costs will exceed $9,000 per month. STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): N/A ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff requests your Board adopt resolution approving Solar Equipment Finance Agreement with TCF Equipment Finance in the Amount of $951,800 and authorize Special Districts Administrator to sign.
