Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
January 29, 2019 your Board adopted the Resolution to "Opt-In" to Outreach Agreement with the California Complete Count Census 2020. The U.S. Census Bureau is required to conduct an accurate count of the population every ten years and that census data is used to determine federal funding levels and congressional representation, both critical to state and local governments.
California traditionally has one of the highest hard to count populations in the nation and as such, our state has made a significant commitment to Census 2020 outreach and communication efforts. As part of this effort the County of Lake is eligible to receive $75,000 (seventy-five thousand dollars) from the California Complete Count Census 2020 Office to assist with our outreach efforts to help ensure that every resident of the County is counted.
To receive this money the County is required to enter into a standard agreement with the Government Operations Agency-California Complete Count-Census 2020.

The general exemption applies in this instance because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed amendments could have a significant effect on the environment, and thus are not subject to CEQA.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On January 22, 2019, in cooperation with the Registrar of Voters office, the County Administrative Office issued a Request for Proposals for a new voting system. The current system was acquired in 1983 and can no longer be supported. Proposals were solicited from the only three firms certified for use in California. Two proposals were received from the following firms:
Hart Intercivic, Inc
Dominion Voting
The proposals were reviewed and although both firms met all requirements of the proposal, it was determined that Hart Intercivic, Inc., provided the lowest cost, most responsive proposal of the two.
As your Board is aware, we have applied for State funding per Resolution 2019-22. We have been allocated $246,000 for the replacement of our current voting system from the Secretary of State which requires a dollar-for-dollar match. Replacement is mandatory by 2020. The State will reimburse the County based on claims submitted to the Secretary of State.
Staff respectfully requests your approval of the attached Agreement.

At the request of Sheriff Brian Martin and on behalf of your labor negotiations bargaining team, consisting of myself, Chief Negotiator Margaret Long and HR Director Pamela Nichols, I am bringing forward this recommendation for a side letter making it possible for patrol deputies to be placed on on-call status, and to be compensated for said status.
Attached for your reference is a compelling statement from the Sheriff describing his need for this, in light of his department's staffing shortages.
