5.6Approve Agreement Between County of Lake, Probation Department and the State of California, Franchise Tax Board from the Date of Approval Through November 30, 2022. The State Will Receive a Maximum of 15% of Collected Fines and Fees Referred to Them By Lake County Probation; and Authorize the Chief Probation Officer to Sign.
Agreement
passed on consent
Staff memo
The collection process is difficult with offenders often simply refusing to pay. When an offender is on probation, failure to pay could result in a violation of probation, however, even with that consequence offenders frequently refuse to pay. The terms of fines, fees and restitution often exceed an offender's term of probation, meaning many offenders are released from probation long before their payments are completed. It becomes considerably more difficult to collect when an offender gets released from probation as, without the consequence of a probation violation, the Probation Department has a very limited ability to impose any kind of sanction for refusal to pay.
This Agreement allows the Probation Department to refer delinquent accounts to the State of California, Franchise Tax Board (FTB) for collection. The FTB has considerably more resources and authority to impose penalties for refusal to pay. Those penalties include, but are not limited to, setting up tax assessments, seizing income, filing liens or recommending criminal investigations.
There is no additional up-front cost for the County as the Probation Department already has the software and licensing needed. The FTB would collect a fee, not to exceed 15% of any amount collected, but since only those accounts that we have been unable to collect on would be referred, any amount received by Lake County represents a profit. Not only does an increase in collected fines and fees benefit the County, but an increase in restitution collection helps the Probation Department with one of our primary goals of assisting victims with restoration. The Agreement itself does not specifically mention the 15% fee; instead under section 3 "The Maximum amount of this Agreement" it says the FTB will charge an Administration Fee in accordance with the governing R&TC (19280-19283) as amended by subsequent legislation. The relevant section, outlining the fee, of that Revenue and Taxation Code is as follows:
California Revenue and Taxation Code
19282. (a) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (e), amounts collected under this article shall be transmitted to the Treasurer and deposited in the State Treasury to the credit of the Court Collection Account in the General Fund, which is hereby created. Amounts deposited in the Court Collection Account shall, less an amount that is equal to the costs incurred by the Franchise Tax Board in administering the program authorized by this article, be transferred by the Controller either to the county or to the state fund to which the amount due was originally owing or as otherwise directed by contractual agreement. If the amount collected is not sufficient to satisfy the amounts referred for collection pursuant to Section 19280 that are to be paid by an offender, then the amount paid shall be allocated for distribution on a pro rata basis, as defined in subdivision (d), except in counties where the board of supervisors has established a priority of payment for amounts collected under this article pursuant to Section 1203.1d of the Penal Code. The amount that is equal to the costs incurred by the Franchise Tax Board in administering the program authorized by this article shall be transferred by the Controller to the General Fund for the purpose of recovering the amount expended by the Franchise Tax Board from General Fund appropriations for the purpose of implementing and administering the program authorized by this article, and related statutes as added or amended by the act adding this article.
(b) It is the intent of the Legislature that costs to the Franchise Tax Board to administer this article for the 1997 98 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter not exceed 15 percent of the amount it collects pursuant to this article.
I was provided this Agreement in a State of California "Standard Agreement" format. The Agreement does not have Lake County's standard signature lines for County Counsel or Clerk of the Board. County Counsel, Anita Grant, has reviewed and approved of this Agreement. The Agreement format only contains a signature line for "County of Lake, by and through the Probation Department".

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Board of Supervisors
FROM: Rob Howe, Chief Probation Officer
DATE: January 7, 2020
SUBJECT: Approve Agreement between the Lake County Probation Department and the State of California Franchise Tax Board.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Lake County Probation Department is charged with collecting court ordered fines, fees and restitution. We have contracted with the State Franchise Tax Board since December of 2016 to assist in that process. This would be a renewal of that same agreement.
The collection process is difficult with offenders often simply refusing to pay. When an offender is on probation, failure to pay could result in a violation of probation, however, even with that consequence offenders frequently refuse to pay. The terms of fines, fees and restitution often exceed an offender's term of probation, meaning many offenders are released from probation long before their payments are completed. It becomes considerably more difficult to collect when an offender gets released from probation as, without the consequence of a probation violation, the Probation Department has a very limited ability to impose any kind of sanction for refusal to pay.
This Agreement allows the Probation Department to refer delinquent accounts to the State of California, Franchise Tax Board (FTB) for collection. The FTB has considerably more resources and authority to impose penalties for refusal to pay. Those penalties include, but are not limited to, setting up tax assessments, seizing income, filing liens or recommending criminal investigations.
There is no additional up-front cost for the County as the Probation Department already has the software and licensing needed. The FTB would collect a fee, not to exceed 15% of any amount collected, but since only those accounts that we have been unable to collect on would be referred, any amount received by Lake County represents a profit.

Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Earlier this year the Board of Supervisors considered a request from LCCR to eliminate, or at least reduce, their monthly fee. Consequently the Board of Supervisors directed staff to revert the monthly fee to the original amount that was established in 2007, which was $500/month. To that end, staff has prepared the attached Amendment One to the Agreement setting the monthly rate at $500/month with language that the license fee is to be evaluated every fifth year to ensure the fee is still adequate to cover County of Lake costs of managing the tower space. Utility fees will remain the same based on usage.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Lake County Community Radio (LCCR) leases tower space from the County of Lake on Buckingham Peak to accommodate their communications equipment.

Consequently the Board of Supervisors directed staff to revert the monthly fee to the original amount that was established in 2007, which was $500/month.

Staff memo
Learning disabilities should not be a barrier to employment and self-sufficiency. The Lake County Department of Social Services (LCDSS) CalWORKs Welfare-to-Work (WTW) program supports this philosophy by offering learning disability testing, evaluations, and accommodations to WTW clients. It is a State mandate that LCDSS provide testing and evaluations to any WTW client who requests such services. Brain Learning Psychological Corporation (Brain Learning) has experience providing these services to county welfare departments. In addition to the testing and evaluation services, Brain Learning will also be providing training for staff to increase knowledge and awareness of learning disabilities. A disproportionate percentage of the unemployed have learning disabilities compared to the general population and given awareness and accommodation, a client is more prepared and better able to reach their employment goals.

Report
Staff memo
First 5 Lake has been working with colleagues from around the county since January on a project called the "State of Our Children." Our intent is to educate and inform in order to raise awareness about areas of concern related to the next generation in Lake County, promote prevention as a strategic mechanism for long-term change in the County, and help the District Supervisors and County residents to see their unique role in increasing the protective factors of children and families in our community. At the conclusion, we would like to ask for the District Supervisors to partner with us in 2020 in holding town hall gatherings in each District dedicated to children's issues and prioritizing prevention and to add the County of Lake logo to the State of Our Children efforts going forward indicating its role as an ongoing partner.
This team worked alongside many other partners in collaboration of this project including : Adventist Health Clear Lake, Redwood Community Services, Lake County Probation, North Coast Opportunities, Redwood Coast Regional Center, Lake County Tribal Health, Lake Family Resource Center, First 5 Lake County, Mother-Wise, Lake County Office of Education, Lake County Children's Council, CASA of Lake & Mendocino Counties, Lakeview Health Center, Easterseals of Northern California, and County of Lake Health Services Department.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As your Board is aware, a committee of your Board has been meeting with representatives of the City of Lakeport to negotiate in good faith regarding Lakeport's intent to annex the South Main area.
On August 19, 2019, Lakeport submitted an application to the Lake Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) for annexation of +/- 136.78 acres extending one mile south of the existing city limits along South Main and Soda Bay Road.
In a letter from LAFCo dated December 4, 2019 (attached), LAFCo has advised of its intent to complete its own fiscal analysis to be funded by the City. After completion of the analysis, LAFCo intends to schedule a facilitated meeting of the parties with an independent facilitator regarding the annexation and its fiscal effects. LAFCO is requesting that both parties agree to participate in good faith in the process.
Although requested to take action within thirty days of LAFCo's letter, the County did not actually receive the letter until December 10, 2019. With this in mind, staff has requested this agenda item within thirty days of the County's receipt of LAFCo's letter.

Staff memo
Earlier this year the Board of Supervisors considered a request from Lake County Community Radio to eliminate, or at least reduce, their monthly fee, which led to the Board of Supervisors direction to staff to revert the monthly fee to the original amount that was established in 2007. Subsequent to the Board of Supervisors meeting, Supervisor Sabatier requested staff to bring to the Board of Supervisors a similar license fee reversion for LACOSAN. The LACOSAN license fee established in the 2007 agreement was $3,600 annually, which has now escalated to $4,697. Staff is proposing a fee reversion to the original agreement amount of $3,600, with a fee evaluation every fifth year to ensure the fee is still adequate to cover County of Lake costs of managing the tower space. Utility fees will remain the same based on usage.
Staff is requesting that the Board of Supervisors and the Lake County Sanitation District Board of Directors both consider and approve this item.
