5.2Approve additions to the COUNTY OF LAKE COVID-19 PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY Return to Work - Worksite Protection Protocol, authorizing the County Administrative Officer or her designee to initiate the meet and confer process with labor groups.
Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
As your Board recalls, when you first approved the COVID-19 Return to Work Protocol on May 19, 2020, you directed that it be reviewed no less frequently than every 30 days. Review and revisions have previously occurred on June 16, 2020, July 14, 2020 and July 21, 2020.
As you know, staff fully expected that the Protocol would be a living document and issues continue to arise leading to proposed revisions for the consideration of your Board.
The revisions recommended today primarily focus around employee exposure, testing and return to work from quarantine and most importantly, include insertion of a hyperlink to new state guidance, "COVID-19 Employer Playbook". While the guidance included in our Protocol is solid, the Playbook goes into considerably more detail and should be a great resource to our departments. In addition to this insertion, we have added guidance as to the need to coordinate with the County Administrative Office for a Press Release regarding any known positive, as has become commonplace for local businesses.
Attached for your review is a track change version of the document, a final version, and the Playbook since the hyperlink is not likely to work from a pdf file.
Recommended Action
Approve additions to the COUNTY OF LAKE COVID-19 PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY Return to Work - Worksite Protection Protocol, authorizing the County Administrative Officer or her designee to initiate the meet and confer process with labor groups.

5.4Approve Agreement with Humboldt State University Sponsored Programs Foundation for Equity Assessment and Cannabis Local Equity Program Plan in the amount of $100,000 and authorize the Chair to sign
Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
On April 21st, 2020, the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development announced its intent to award a Type I Funding grant to Lake County to fund the development of a cannabis equity program. Staff issued Request for Proposals #20-18 to identify a consultant to conduct the cannabis equity assessment and create a local equity program plan for the County.
A consultant selection panel met in June to review the proposals submitted and selected the proposal from the California Center for Rural Policy at Humboldt State University (CCRP). The CCRP is ready to commence work on the equity assessment, which will then provide the necessary data to develop the local equity program.
The total grant amount is $150,000. CCRP will complete their work for a maximum compensation amount of $100,000 with the remaining grant funds available for staff time and/or additional consulting services.
Due to the pandemic, the State has not yet set an actual date to begin accepting Type II Funding requests, but it is anticipated to be in early 2021. The present goal includes completing the assessment and local equity plan necessary to submit this application when it becomes available. This plan will enable the County to secure the state funding needed to implement the program next year.
The proposed agreement is attached for your Board's consideration.

Resolution
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The United States Congress appropriated funding for the Help America Vote Act of 2020 (HAVA) and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. On June 29, 2020, Assembly Bill 89 and Assembly Bill 100 were signed by Governor Newsom to appropriate funding for the November 2020 election consistent with state requirements put in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
In allocating the funding, the Legislature indicated that the Secretary of State shall compile the remaining amounts from the state's voting system funding provided in the Budget Act of 2018 and the Budget Act of 2019 by county, calculate the difference between costs related to conducting the November 2020 election and remaining state voting system funding by county, and then reimburse counties for the difference in cost. Based on those considerations and reports, the allocation for COVID-19 state and federal funding that will be reflected in contracts will be issued for each county.
By adopting this Resolution, the County will be entering into an agreement with the Secretary of State to receive up to the maximum grant amount of $127,242 (General COVID-19 Funding $107,549 and Outreach/Communication $19,693) to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the national emergency related to the Coronavirus for the 2020 Federal Election Cycle.
The Secretary of State will be sending an agreement (or contract) for signature and in order to execute the agreement (or contract), the State requires that the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution providing authority to enter into the agreement (or contract).

Property Description:
Property Owner: Ryker Schenck
Location: 2922 Gardner Street, Nice, CA
APN: 031-134-57
Zoning: R-1
Case No.: ENF19-00030
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The investigation was based on numerus complaints received from the public alleging persons occupying a van on a vacant lot and storage of items such as junk, debris, and inoperable vehicles. (See Exhibit #1 - Photos) The investigation substantiated violations of the Zoning Ordinance which resulted in the issuance of a Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate (NON/OTA). The property owner Ryker Schenck (Schenck) submitted a signed "Nuisance Abatement Hearing Request Form" requesting a hearing. (See Exhibit #2 - Nuisance Abatement Hearing Request Form)
VIOLATIONS:
County of Lake Code of Ordinances Chapter 21, Section 41.12 - Open & Outdoor Storage
FACTS:
On 10/20/2015, a Grant Deed was recorded reflecting Schenck on title for the subject property.
(See Exhibit #3 - Grant Deed)
2922 Gardner Road is a vacant lot zoned "R1" Single-Family Residential. No dwelling meeting minimum construction standards exists on the property. The primary use of the property has not been met. Open and Outdoor Storage is a performance standard subordinate to the primary use. Therefore by not first meeting the primary use of the property, the subordinate use of Open and Outdoor Storage cannot exist on the property.
On 02/14/2019, Code Enforcement Supervisor Kathy Freeman (retired) determined the property was in violation and issued a NON/OTA.
On 03/04/2019 Schenck filed and submitted a signed "Nuisance Abatement Hearing Request Form" requesting a hearing.
From 02/20/2020 - 03/16/2020 I made several site visits at the property and determined the violations in the NON/OTA continued to persist on the property.
Note: Schenck's basis for the appeal is that the Streambed Alteration Agreement between Schenck and the Department of Fish and Wildlife (Permit No. 1600-2018-0308-R2) "collaterally estops" a code enforcement abatement action. A copy of the agreement was obtained and there was no language contained in the agreement that "estops" a code enforcement action. The Department of Fish and wildlife was contacted and verified that the agreement does not stop code enforcement from taking an action against the property.
Recommended Action
The Code Enforcement Staff recommends that the NON/OTA dated 02/14/2019 be upheld and authorize staff to move forward with obtaining a warrant and pursuing an abatement action to remove the trash, junk, debris, and other storage items from the subject property.

Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
I am returning to our Board with an Ordinance for consideration which, if approved, would focus on education and training around the need for compliance with Public Health Orders. I continue to be very grateful to the Blue Collar Committee for their work in this regard. Their draft ordinance is attached hereto and many of the points they included in it serve as the basis for the Ordinance I am presenting today. More recently, I have received another draft from community members who support enforcement, also attached, and I am appreciative of the efforts of these folks as well.
In the Ordinance I am bringing forward today, if a violation is determined to be occurring, an Enforcement Officer will contact the responsible party and request correction, while offering assistance in the form of training and/or information to achieve compliance and allowing a reasonable time of not less than five days to make the correction. (Please note that the mere receipt of a complaint does not confirm that there has been a violation. Complaints will first need to be investigated, by making contact with the responsible party.)
If informal enforcement as described above is unsuccessful, the Enforcement Officer will issue a Notice of Violation that provides up to ten days to make the correction. In those rare cases where the violation is still not corrected in ten days, the Enforcement Officer may impose an administrative fine, not to exceed $100 for the first violation, $200 for the second and $500 for additional violations, within one year of the first.
Any party subject to a notice of violation may, within ten days, file a written appeal with our Board. Appeals will be heard by our Board, allowing the party an opportunity to testify and present evidence. Our Board will make the decision as to whether an administrative fine will be imposed.
With hope we have moved beyond the COVID-19 crisis, this Ordinance would sunset on October 1, 2021, unless further action is taken by our Board.
Recommended Action
Adopt Ordinance of the County of Lake Board of Supervisors to Provide for Graduated Levels of Enforcement of Public Health Orders through Education and Training and the Imposition of Administrative Fines.

Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
Now that we have concluded four recent economic development workshops with our department heads and based on our strong commitment to economic development, I am returning to our Board with my recommendations for formation of our task force which will focus on this effort on an ongoing basis.
First, I am recommending two supervisors serve on the task force, with a third serving as an alternate. There has been a high level of interest on our Board to serve in this capacity. My recommendation is that our appointees be our two supervisors who have continuing terms and who represent unincorporated districts where I believe our efforts need to be most strongly focused at this time:
District 1 Supervisor Moke Simon, appointee
District 3 Supervisor EJ Crandell, appointee
District 2 Supervisor Bruno Sabatier, alternate
Our Board may consider adjusting these appointments at the start of each new year, when we update our committee assignments, depending upon needs and priorities.
Second, I am recommending our Department Heads who have the most primary roles in revenue generation and economic development serve on the task force:
Assessor Recorder Richard Ford
Community Development Interim Director Scott DeLeon
County Administrative Officer Carol Huchingson
Public Works Water Resources Director Scott DeLeon
Special Districts Administrator Jan Coppinger
The above recommendations, of Board members and Department Heads, represent the core members who will drive the priorities and processes for the task force. However, each of the Department Heads appointed to the task force would also be requested to include their key staff as regular participants to support the efforts of the task force. Additionally, all other County Department Heads would be invited to the task force on a topic-driven basis.
The Administrative Office will provide support to the task force, in terms of dedicated staffing for scheduling, minutes and report preparation. Initially, it is my recommendation that the task force report on its progress to our Board on a quarterly basis. At the start, I envision that the primary focus of the task force will be to strengthen County operations and build sufficient revenue streams while unifying efforts among the departments providing services that drive our local economy, all intended to lead to improved outcomes for our communities and enhanced quality of life for our citizens.
Recommended Action
By motion, approve recommendations for the formation of our Economic Development Task Force.

7.3Consideration of Resolution Authorizing a Joint Application by the County of Lake and the Elijah House Foundation for the California Department of Housing and Community Development Homekey Grant Program
Action Item
Adopted — Pass
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The Homekey Program is an extension of Project Roomkey, which successfully helped California jurisdictions provide interim housing for individuals experiencing homelessness exacerbated by the additional complications related to a high-risk to COVID-19 exposure.
This program transitions the community's focus to assisting jurisdictions in the development of permanent solutions to the homelessness crisis. Together with the Elijah House Foundation, the County has an opportunity to apply for grant funds from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to acquire and rehabilitate a structure to house homeless individuals and/or those most at risk for serious illness due to COVID-19.
Elijah House plans to seek Homekey funding to purchase and rehabilitate the Starlight Hotel Resort property located between Lucerne & Clearlake Oaks on State Highway 20. The property includes 4 structures containing multiple units with the ability to comfortably house an estimated 26 persons.
Elijah House also intends to seek Homekey operational funding to provide low barrier housing at the Starlight property, following the Housing First model. Housing will be available for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, or at risk of becoming homeless, who are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond providing low barrier housing, the Elijah House Foundation plans to offer behavioral health and drug alcohol recovery services on site at the Starlight facility. Housing will be in no way contingent upon drug alcohol recovery program participation.
The Elijah House Foundation is currently operating the only emergency Homeless Shelter in Lake County providing a place for homeless to Shelter in Place during the pandemic. Due to the nature of the shelter contract which places a time limit on the operations of the shelter in its current location, Elijah House is seeking more permanent facility locations in Lake County. The Starlight property is one such facility though its use is not intended for shelter services it will offer permanent housing for about 5% of the homeless population as defined by the most recent annual homeless census count.
These monies will help the Elijah House Foundation leverage its expertise in drug, alcohol and behavioral health services to support and work with Lake County Behavioral Health Services and other existing agencies located within Lake County to break the cycle of generational poverty and addiction.
Department of Behavioral Health Services does not expect additional budgetary or staff expenditures.
Recommended Action
Adopt Resolution authorizing a joint application by the County of
Lake and the Elijah House Foundation for the California Department of Housing and Community
Development Homekey Grant Program.
