Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
(a) This item is being submitted as an "extra" agenda item. The justification for this request to consider an item not on the posted agenda is as follows:
1) Health and Safety Code section 101080 authorizes a local health officer to declare a local health emergency in the health officer's jurisdiction, or any part thereof, whenever the health officer reasonably determines that there is an imminent and proximate threat of the introduction of any contagious, infectious, or communicable disease.
2) This declaration enables the County to more effectively respond to an imminent outbreak, seek and utilize mutual aid, potentially obtain reimbursement, and ensure that the County's public health professionals and providers have all necessary personal protective equipment to provide quality care and keep our community safe.
3) The potential introduction of COVID-19 in Lake County is an imminent threat to the public health within the meaning of Health & Safety Code section 101080.
4) A local health emergency is declared in Lake County by Gary Pace, M.D., MPH, Health Officer, commencing on or about 09:00 a.m. of the 9th day of March, 2020.
5) The local health emergency shall not remain in effect after seven days from the date of the declaration unless, it has been ratified by the County of Lake, Board of Supervisors.
This item came to the attention of staff subsequent to the posting of the current agenda and there is a need to take action before the next agenda.
(b) Staff requests the Board of Supervisors to adopt the Resolution ratifying the declaration of a local health emergency declared by Gary Pace, M.D., Lake County Health Officer. The declaration, which was declared on March 9, 2020, due to the potential introduction of COVID-19 into the County of Lake. California Health and Safety Code section 101080 provides authority for the Health Officer to issue a declaration of local health emergency.

Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
Robert McPherson's primary duty is to serve civilian subpoenas for our criminal cases. Billy Newsom is responsible for locating individuals and then serving papers for the Department of Child Support Services (DCSS). Mr. Newsom's time is reimbursed by DCSS. Both of these District Attorney Investigator Aides are former Correctional Officers, which makes them specially suited to perform the above duties, which our full-time DA Investigators do not have the time to do. We expect them to work no more than 960 hours each during the fiscal year 2019-20.
Ryan Clair possesses a degree in the computer field and was hired to assist with the processing of digital evidence provided by various law enforcement agencies, other computer-related support, and general office work. This type of work cannot be performed by our full-time Office Assistants nor Legal Secretaries. Due to the heavy workload we have requested and have been approved for waiving the 25-hour per week limit, allowing him to work up to 29 hours per week. We expect Mr. Clair to work no more than 1,400 hours during the fiscal year 2019-20.
Myriam (Ivette) Herrera started out as our Extra Help Office Assistant and advanced to being an Extra Help Legal Secretary. In addition to her exemplary work as a Legal Secretary, her assistance with our Spanish-speaking victims, witnesses, and patrons has been enormously beneficial. Due to our 2 vacant Legal Secretary positions, we have requested and have been approved for waiving the 25-hour per week limit, allowing her to work up to 29 hours per week. We expect Ms. Herrera to work no more than 1,400 hours during the fiscal year 2019-20.
Without these Extra Help individuals, we would not be able to provide the services that is expected from our Department. We have adequate budget to cover the requested Extra Help wages and benefits for the current fiscal year.

Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The Treasurer-Tax Collector requests authorization to use public auction services provided by Bid4assets, Inc. through March 10, 2025 in accordance with the attached Professional Services Agreement.
Auction expense is assigned to each individual parcel posted for sale and is included in minimum auction bid, said costs are recovered via auction proceeds or parcel redemption.
Tax Defaulted Land Sale #157 is scheduled for May 29, 2020-June 2, 2020.
Not applicable
Which exemption is being requested? 38.2 (2)
How long has Agreement been in place? 15 years
When was purchase last rebid? 2005
Reason for request to waive bid? Staff is aware of only two vendors that presently provide these services to Treasurer-Tax Collector's Offices. Bid4Assets, as noted previously, has assisted our office for the past 15 years and is familiar with our business process. In staff's opinion, seeking another vendor would likely result in increased costs and would lead to a delay given the need for a new vendor to become familiar with our business process. Given that tax sales are a priority of the Board, staff opines that there would be no public benefit to the County to seek competitive bids
Recommended Action
(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) Approve Agreement between County of Lake and Bid4Assets, Inc. for the period of 3/10/2020 through 3/10/2025 for Tax Default Public Auction Services; and authorize the Chair to sign.

7.7Consideration of a Resolution Amending Resolution No. 2018-118 Establishing Temporary Alternative Office Hours for County offices Located in and Surrounding the Lake County Courthouse or Alternative Direction to Staff
Resolution
Adopted, as amended
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
When the Friday closure pilot was initiated, staff vacancies rates had recently trended around 20%, county-wide. High vacancy rates remain an issue, and are currently at 19%, with 198 permanent positions presently unfilled.
As you will recall, a committee of Department Heads initially met when the pilot was launched and resolved a few minor issues. No significant complications that could not be remedied have been reported, to date, and Department Heads have noted seeing great benefits from the protected time provided by reduced public hours.
However, as your Board heard at your recent workshop on Economic Development, Friday closures have been inconvenient for some members of the public. We are in the business of providing services to the public, and addressing office hours at each six-month interval offers your Board the opportunity to receive public comment, and weigh whether providing uninterrupted time for staff on Fridays remains the best means to serve the public in a timely manner.
Background
California Government Code section 24260 empowers your Board to set office hours for the transaction of County business. You are very probably also aware it is common practice in California Counties to periodically revisit public hours, and establish any changes by Resolution.
On August 28, 2018, your Board adopted Resolution No. 2018-18, establishing temporary alternate office hours for County offices located within and surrounding the Lake County Courthouse Building. At that time, Friday closures were granted due to high employee vacancy rates, generally heavy workloads and disaster impacts. Your initial authorization facilitated a six-month pilot, bringing public hours of County offices into alignment with norms of the Cities of Clearlake and Lakeport.
The ongoing need of reduced public hours was affirmed by your Board December 4, 2018, March 12, 2019, by adopting Resolution No. 2019-35, and again September 10, 2019, adopting Resolution No. 2019-136, extending Friday closures through today, March 10, 2020.
Recommended Action
Adopt Resolution Establishing Temporary Alternative Office Hours for County offices located in and surrounding the Lake County Courthouse or provide alternative direction to staff.
