Staff memo

Date: February 12, 2019 · To: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS · From: Todd Metcalf, BS Behavioral Health Services Administrator · 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) Adopt the Resolution Approving the Sales Order and Services Agreement between the County of Lake and Cerner Corporation for the Purchase and Maintenance of the Cerner Integrated Behavioral Health System Known as Millennium for the Term of January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2026 and Authorizing the Behavioral Health Services Administrator to Sign the Sales Order and Services Agreement. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Attached, for your approval, is the Sales Order and Services Agreement between the County of Lake and Cerner Corporation for the purchase and maintenance of the Cerner Integrated Behavioral Health System known as Millennium. By approving the Agreement now, it allows LCBHS to secure a time slot in the future to guarantee the integration of the two (2) Cerner Behavioral Health systems.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: As Lake County Behavioral Health Services (LCBHS) has been utilizing the Cerner Behavioral Health system known as Anasazi for a number of years, this was not sent out for Request for Proposal (RFP). LCBHS conducted an informal internal review of other systems and found it to be in the best interest of LCBHS to purchase and use the new upgraded system as the cost of other electronic health records were prohibitive and did not contain our mandated reporting requirements. The Cerner upgraded product meets all mandated State requirements as well as being more cost effective. There are currently 33 counties within California that use Anasazi and 26 of these counties are scheduled to move to Millennium with five (5) other counties currently negotiating a contract to move to Millennium. The Technology Governance Committee has reviewed this purchase and has indicated its support.

Staff memo

Date: February 12, 2019 · To: Board of Supervisors · From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer · Subject: Consideration of Amendment to New Employee Relocation Expense Policy to Increase the Maximum Reimbursement to $3,500

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In 2007, your Board approved our New Employee Relocation Policy affording limited reimbursement to new employees for expenses incurred in relocating to Lake County. During the twelve years since, the maximum reimbursable under said policy has been fixed at $1,000 for "hard-to-fill" classifications, generally limited to management, professional and technical classifications. The level of reimbursement under our policy is far less than what is typically afforded in other counties. In fact, of those counties responding to a recent informal survey, $5,000 reimbursement for reimbursement was actually the lowest amount offered, with a number of jurisdictions offering $10,000 to $20,000 depending on the type of position and distance of the relocation. As your Board is well aware, it has been increasingly difficult to recruit and retain qualified employees. Our very low level of relocation reimbursement makes us far less attractive to candidates and unable to compete with other jurisdictions during this time in which it is an applicant's market. I am requesting Board approval to make one simple change to our policy: Increase the maximum reimbursable to $3,500. While actual reimbursements under this policy are infrequent, raising the maximum reimbursable will improve our ability to recruit and retain key staff. FISCAL IMPACT: _X_ None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Estimated Cost: Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): There will be no increased cost to the General Fund resulting from approval of this policy amendment. Costs will be borne by each hiring department, and absorbed within net County cost, where applicable. STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): None ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve Amendment to New Employee Relocation Expense Policy to Increase the Maximum Reimbursement to $3,500.

Staff memo

Date: February 12, 2019 · To: Tina Scott, Chair, Board of Supervisors · From: Brian L. Martin, Sheriff/Coroner · Subject: Consideration of (a) Proposal to restructure the Sheriff's Department; and (b) Resolution amending Resolution No. 2018-132 establishing position allocations for fiscal year 2018-2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Sheriff's Department is requesting a management level reorganization as part of a restructuring and to significantly change its business practices due to a long history of vacancies in particular classifications and is requesting to reorganize in order to meet the demand in another way. If approved, the results will be as follows: Eliminate the existing Sheriff's Lieutenant (2 vacant) and Captain (1 vacant) positions in the Sheriff/Coroner budget 2201 and change the title to Chief Deputy. Eliminate the existing vacant Central Dispatch Manager (civilian) position in the Sheriff/Dispatch budget 2202 and change the title to Chief Deputy. Eliminate the existing Correctional Captain (civilian) position in the Sheriff/Jail budget 2301 and change the title to Chief Deputy. The current unfunded positions will remain unfunded at this time. Affected allocations by BU BU 2201 BU2201 2 Captain (Sworn) 7 Chief Deputies (Sworn) 5 Lieutenant (Sworn) BU 2202 BU2202 1 Central Dispatch Manager 1 Chief Deputy (Sworn) BU 2301 BU2301 1 Correctional Captain 1 Chief Deputy (Sworn) The department has a long history of failed recruitment efforts for the position of Central Dispatch Manager. Leadership struggles have been a reoccurring challenge and in response, the two previous Sheriffs have assigned sworn personnel to the facility to "right the ship" and turn it back over to the subsequent civilian manager. Formalized, POST approved Leadership Development Training, as well as assignment to various positions of increasing responsibility are required at many stages of a peace officer's career to advance in rank. The skills learned and developed over the course of a career generally enable them to be more effective leaders and managers than their civilian counterparts who don't always benefit from such training. Predictably, this has again happened, and a sworn employee currently oversees operations. It is my desire to reclassify the Central Dispatch Manager to a Chief Deputy and make that a permanent assignment. The Lake County Jail/Hill Road Correctional Facility experiences similar events as described in the Dispatch Center. We are currently in the midst of a staffing crisis as there has been a mass exodus of employees. In speaking with the employees, they are frequently leaving County employment due to pay and benefit issues, but many of them are simply transferring to a different County department. Just as with the Dispatch Center, there has been a cycle of assigning sworn personnel to the jail to "right the ship". Sheriff Rod Mitchell assigned two Deputy Sheriff Lieutenants to oversee operations. They accomplished the mission and command of the jail was turned over to a correctional manager. The previous Sheriff (Rivero), upon realizing the reoccurrence of management problems assigned a Deputy Sheriff Lieutenant out to the jail to again "right the ship". I find myself in the same situation yet again. As is the case with the Dispatch Center, I have assigned a sworn Lieutenant to the facility and positive change is occurring. Assigning sworn managers to oversee operations has proven effective in the past, and it appears to be effective now. This practice also gives me the ability to have a larger pool of personnel to assign to these assignments to ensure that we have the best match for the position. This proposal will keep one of the jail management positions in place. The maintenance and operation of a jail facility is a world of experience that a Chief Deputy will lack. Keeping a single manager with experience in facilities maintenance in place, and assigning that person to the task of maintenance, while assigning the Chief Deputy overall responsibility of the facility and personnel matters will be a significant change in business practice. My proposal is to use the attached job description for Chief Deputy Sheriff-Coroner and work with HR to determine the appropriate salary step at which to reclassify existing employees. FISCAL IMPACT: __ None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Estimated Cost: $2,000/month estimated Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): No additional funds are being requested STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): N/A ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Sheriff's Department recommends approval of this restructuring.

The previous Sheriff (Rivero), upon realizing the reoccurrence of management problems assigned a Deputy Sheriff Lieutenant out to the jail to again "right the ship". I find myself in the same situation yet again. As is the case with the Dispatch Center, I have assigned a sworn Lieutenant to the facility and positive change is occurring. Assigning sworn managers to oversee operations has proven effective in the past, and it appears to be effective now. This practice also gives me the ability to have a larger pool of personnel to assign to these assignments to ensure that we have the best match for the position. This proposal will keep one of the jail management positions in place. The maintenance and operation of a jail facility is a world of experience that a Chief Deputy will lack. Keeping a single manager with experience in facilities maintenance in place, and assigning that person to the task of maintenance, while assigning the Chief Deputy overall responsibility of the facility and personnel matters will be a significant change in business practice. My proposal is to use the attached job description for Chief Deputy Sheriff-Coroner and work with HR to determine the appropriate salary step at which to reclassify existing employees.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Attached here is a revised working draft of an ordinance adding Article VIII to Chapter 13 of the Lake County Code regarding hazardous vegetation abatement. After comments from the public and concerns raised by your Board when an initial draft was considered in December of 2018, this draft has been revised to somewhat streamline the program and process for hazardous vegetation abatement, to require specific training certifications of a County Fire Official, to allow greater discretion on the part of a County Fire Official to consider the specific circumstances of each property in regard to defensible space requirements, and to establish increase flexibility as to enforcement options. This working draft may yet require revisions and modifications and stall will make any such revisions and modifications as directed by your Board. Thank you. FISCAL IMPACT: _X_ None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): None STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): None ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: If you so wish, the Ordinance adding Article VIII to Chapter 13 of the Lake County Code regarding Hazardous Vegetation Abatement on Unincorporated Areas of the County of Lake may be advanced for adoption.

Staff memo

Date: January 29, 2018 · To: Board of Supervisors · From: Michalyn DelValle, Community Development Director · Subject: Informational workshop to discuss impacts and potential policy options regarding short-term rental services for temporary lodging EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

As your Board is well aware, Airbnb, VRBO and similar services have vastly expanded the use of private residences for temporary lodging. Recent estimates suggest that there are greater than 300 such residences, or portions thereof, available for short-term rental, also known as vacation rentals, in the unincorporated areas Lake County. Your Board has determined that appropriately regulating this growing industry, and realizing any revenues that may be gained, is a significant priority. Staff has therefore spent time reviewing this topic in detail, exploring regulatory approaches taken in other jurisdictions, and reviewing existing Lake County regulations, to determine what changes may be required to appropriately respond to recent and significant changes in the lodging industry. Currently, the Zoning Ordinance has a permit process for Bed and Breakfast, hotels, motels and recreational vehicles parks. The Zoning Ordinance does not have an established permit process for short term rentals. Today, we recommend that your Board provide input to County staff whether or not to pursue a regulatory framework in the future. No official action by your Board is recommended at this time. FISCAL IMPACT: _X_ None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): None STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): None ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: No official Board action is recommended at this time.
