Staff memo
As your Board recalls, on December 18, 2018, your Board approved changes to our Personnel Rules regarding salary on promotion of existing employees. This change corrected a long standing inequity whereby new hires from the outside could be brought in at higher salary rates than highly qualified existing employees who are promoted.
However, at that time, staff neglected to also bring forward changes to all the applicable MOU's necessary to operationalize your Board's new policy. As you know, the MOU's were approved over a period of months, starting in May 2019, just completed recently.
During this time, there were two existing well-qualified employees who were promoted, and for whom their Department Head requested an advanced salary step, but it could not be processed for the reasons explained above, despite the concurrence of HR that the employees met the requirements for such appointment.
In keeping with the spirit and intent of the policy your Board adopted on December 18, 2019, staff is recommending your Board approve retroactively, the advanced salary steps for the two affected employees. Please note that these are the only two requests received during this time and the only two that will be brought forward for retroactive consideration. Moreover, on July 23, 2019, your Board approved the last of the related MOU amendments so there will be no future situations in which the Personnel Rules and the MOU's are inconsistent.

5.4Adopt Resolution Amending Resolution No. 2019-80 Establishing Position Allocations for Fiscal Year 2019-2020, Budget Unit No. 1121, Auditor-Controller/County Clerk.
Resolution
passed on consent
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As your Board is acutely aware, many County departments, including the Auditor Controller/County Clerk, have experienced a high vacancy rate over the past several years. At one point during the 2018 fiscal year end closing period the Auditor-Controller/County Clerk staffing was at 50% and that continued into 2019. Through a very determined effort we have been fortunate enough to build our team back up to 85% staffing and I can now take a moment to review our current staffing needs, as well as plan for staffing needs as we move forward.
Your Board established various finance related goals in both the County Fiscal Crisis Management Plan and Vision 2028. As one of your key finance offices, these goals either directly or indirectly impact the work we do and the priorities we will establish. The attached position allocation resolution serves to prepare the Auditor-Controller/County Clerk's Office for supporting the finance related goals as set forth in both the County Fiscal Crisis Management plan, Vision 2028, as well as finance support countywide.
I respectfully request your approval of the attached resolution which re-activates the Chief Deputy Auditor-Controller position and adds one position allocation, adds a temporary Accountant-Auditor I/II, Supervising position allocation to address an expected vacancy, and deletes the Account Clerk I/II, Bilingual position that no longer meets our service needs.
FISCAL IMPACT: __ None _x_Budgeted __Non-Budgeted

Annual Cost (if planned for future years):
FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative):
The budgetary impact of these changes will be a potential overall increase in salary and benefits for 19/20 of $47,986 which will be offset by A87 billable, leaving a net County cost of $13,436. The ongoing cost for the additional Chief Deputy position will be $96,276 offset by billable A87 for a net ongoing County cost of $26,957. The goal is for this remaining cost to be offset by greater efficiencies, and potential additional revenues as a result of finance and reporting improvements.

SUBJECT: Approve Encroachment Permit #19-32 - Temporary closure of a portion of Clear Lake between Library Park and Skylark Shores Resort from September 6th through September 8th for the 2019 Seaplane Splash-In.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Lake County Chamber of Commerce will host the Clear Lake Seaplane Splash-In Friday September 6, 2019 thru Sunday September 8, 2019. The event will be held between 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day. Up to 60 seaplanes are expected to participate in this event. Some will be moored in front of the Skylark Shores Resort and others will be on display out of the water at Natural High School. A temporary metal ramp will be placed at the Natural High site on September 5th and removed on September 9th.
This event will require the Board to authorize the closure of a 500 by 2,400 foot area of the lake situated between Library Park and the Skylark Shores Resort as approximated on the attached map. The area of closure is to be used for scheduled demonstrations.
Your Board has the authority to grant this temporary closure pursuant to Section 11.3 of Chapter 23 of the Clear Lake Shoreline Ordinance. This Ordinance allows your Board to authorize a closure if it finds that the proposed uses are appropriate but require special regulations or separation from other uses. In light of the scope of this event and the risks inherent therein, staff believes that this event meets those tests.

6.29:15 A.M. - PUBLIC HEARING - (Sitting as the Lake County Watershed Protection District) - Consideration of a Resolution to form the Big Valley Groundwater Sustainability Agency, in accordance with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, which went into effect as California Water Code, Section 10720 ET.SEQ. on January 1, 2015.
Public Hearing
Adopted
Staff memo
In 2014, the state of California adopted the Groundwater Sustainability Act (SGMA), which requires local agencies with medium or high priority basins to develop a Groundwater Sustainability plan or an Alternative Groundwater Sustainability Plan in an effort to ensure that groundwater basins reach sustainability within 20 years of implementing a groundwater basin sustainability plan. SGMA provides local agencies a framework for managing groundwater basins in a sustainable manner and recognizes groundwater is most effectively managed at the local level.
The Lake County Watershed Protection Districted (District) elected to prepare an Alternative Groundwater Sustainability Plan for the Big Valley groundwater basin which was submitted to the State on December 30, 2016. Local agencies who submitted an Alternative plan are required to provide an Annual Report to the state to demonstrate the progress toward implementation of the Alternative or maintenance of groundwater conditions described in the submitted Alternative plan. The Lake County Watershed Protection District has submitted two (2) Annual Reports; the Annual Report for the Big Valley Groundwater Basin Water Year 2017, and the Annual Report for the Big Valley Groundwater Basin Water Year 2018.
In July 2019, the Lake County Watershed Protection District was notified by the California Department of Water Resources (CDWR) that the Big Valley Groundwater Basin Alternative Sustainability Plan had not been accepted. In order to maintain local and sustainable management of the Big Valley groundwater basin, it is in the best interest for the County that the Board of Directors of the Lake County Watershed Protection District approve the resolution authorizing the District to form the Big Valley Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA). The formation of a GSA complies with State regulations and is necessary to obtain funding for the development of a Big Valley Groundwater Sustainability Plan.
Water Code Sec. 10723.2 requires that a GSA considers the interests of all beneficial uses and users of groundwater. Senate Bill No. 1136 mandates the Lake County Watershed Protection has the legal responsibility and obligation to protect waters within the District, including both surface water and groundwater. However, to insure all interested are considered, the Big Valley GSA will work with regional stakeholders through a GSA Advisory Group that will include representation from the County, Tribal Government, Municipal Water Supplier, the Chi Council, Domestic well owners, and Agricultural users.

Staff memo
Background
On July 19, 2016, your Board acted to separate the Public Works and Water Resources Departments. Concurrently, your Board approved revisions to the Water Resources Director Classification description, emphasizing the technical demands of the role, in recognition of the unique nature of Clear Lake as a large, species-dense and biologically diverse body of water.
In the time subsequent to these 2016 actions, it has become clear that a stronger administrative and personnel and project management focus is needed to support the diverse demands of the Water Resources function in Lake County. Your Board recognized this by approving Classification changes earlier this year, June 25, 2019. Interim Water Resources Director, Scott De Leon, has since added insight that many of the scientific functions are conducted by partner entities, such as the Blue Ribbon Committee for the Rehabilitation of Clear Lake, local Tribal Nations, State agencies, and contractors.
With Clear Lake as our defining feature, it is essential Lake County appropriately attends to scientific and other discipline-specific responsibilities when managing our Water Resources. Because this work is actually performed by numerous entities, administrative functions must be efficiently completed to ensure this important work can be appropriately prioritized and undertaken. Consolidation of Public Works and Water Resources historically brought efficiencies and opportunities for cross-training. Given the import of the functions of both departments, continuity and the capacity to respond to normal events, such as staff vacancies, is essential.
Today, the committee is recommending approval, by motion, to reconsolidate the Department of Water Resources with DPW. Timely action is important, so that staff can take next steps with our ongoing Water Resources Director recruitment.

SUBJECT: Discussion and Consideration of Consolidation of the Department of Water Resources Under the Authority of the Public Works Director.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At the Chair's direction, an Ad Hoc Committee comprised of Supervisors Brown and Crandell, our Interim Water Resources Director, Scott De Leon, and County Administrative Office staff was convened to review past research conducted by the Department of Public Works (DPW), and survey the functions aligned under DPW in neighboring and comparable California Counties. It was determined that more than half of these counties align Water Resources and/or Flood Control functions under DPW.

7.3Consideration of Resolution Adopting recommendations to address Fire Safe Regulations applicable to Outdoor Cannabis Cultivation Operations.
Resolution
Adopted — Pass
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
There is a need to clarify as to what type of activity is the cultivation of cannabis. Up till now, due to it being called "commercial cannabis" it has been deemed to be a commercial activity to cultivate cannabis. Due to this categorization, the current Public Resource Code 4290 & 4291 for State Responsibility Areas requires that a commercial road standard be met prior to operation.
After conversing with the California Department of Food and Agriculture, the agency that provides cultivation licenses to cannabis growers, it has been identified that the cultivation of cannabis is an agricultural activity, not a commercial activity. In order to rectify the issue, this resolution has been drafted for the board to review so that PRC 4290 & 4291 code can be followed via the "agricultural" exemption clause which does not require licensees to bring their roads up to a commercial standard.
There is currently no standard for agricultural roads.

Resolution
Adopted — Pass
Staff memo
At the meeting of your Board on August 20, 2019, you considered a draft resolution signifying your desire to participate in a consortium of public entities working together to resolve issues relating to the Potter Valley Project.
Although your Board approved the resolution with certain amendments, it appears that a further change in language is advisable. The change in language would replace "endangered salmon species" with "fisheries" and/or "native anadromous fisheries". Additionally, the co-equal goals of the Two-Basin Solution are both briefly stated, rather than referenced in another document. These changes should ensure greater consistency with the resolutions of other participating entities.
If your Board is in agreement with the language of this resolution, it may be offered for passage. Passage of this resolution will supersede and replace the prior resolution.

SUBJECT: Consideration of (a) Dr. Erin Gustafson's Resignation as the County Public Health Officer; and (b) Appointment of Dr. Gary Pace, M.D., MPH, MCP, as Interim County Health Officer with Approval of Professional Services Agreement and Authorize Board Chair to Sign.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: California counties are required to employ a licensed physician as the County Health Officer who is appointed by the Board of Supervisors pursuant to Health and Safety Code �101000. Under administrative direction of the Health Services Director, the Health Officer has responsibility for enforcing local health orders and ordinances, and State regulations and statutes relating to public health. The Health Officer is also responsible for providing public health leadership for the community, responding to public health emergencies, informing the Board of Supervisors of community health issues, and acting as the point of contact for community leaders who are seeking expert advice and opinion on medical and public health issues.
On August 6, 2019, Dr. Erin Gustafson submitted her letter of resignation from her position as the County Public Health Officer, with an effective date of August 30, 2019. While the recruitment for a new Health Officer is underway, the County is required to appoint an Interim Health Officer until the permanent position is filled, to ensure compliance with regulation.
Dr. Gustafson's last day in the office will be August 30, 2019. Staff is requesting that your Board appoint Dr. Gary Pace, M.D., MPH, as the interim County Health Officer effective August 31, 2019. Dr. Pace has over twenty years of experience in family practice, clinical practice, site director and medical director working with a wide range of health care facilities. He has a current valid California Medical License, is board certified in family medicine and certified with the American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine. Dr. Pace also holds a Master's in Public Health and a Masters in Counseling Psychology. After discussions with Dr. Pace, and myself we have determined that a four month Professional Services Agreement with a onetime mutually agreed upon extension would be appropriate to cover the time needed to recruit a permanent replacement for the Health Officer position. Dr. Pace has been appointed by the Board of Supervisors an Interim Health officer previously, and has provided professional medical contract work for the county the past two years. He has a solid working relationship with the Health Department staff, and community medical partners. Please find Dr. Pace's complete Curriculum Vitae attached for reference.

At no additional cost to the County, CFMG will increase their medical/surgical financial liability from $22,000 to $25,000 and the CFMG financial liability for AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) inmates will increase from $12,000 to $15,000.
