Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
As your Board will recall, on June 16, 2020, you adopted Resolution No. 2020-73 extending the County of Lake's Interim Policy for Working Remotely for an additional 90 day period ending September 20, 2020. Your Board first authorized this policy on March 27, 2020, near the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Per the direction of your Board, this policy has been reviewed every thirty days since.
Staff is returning to you now with a request to extend the policy for an additional period ending December 31, 2020. Your Department Heads report no issues with the application of the policy since you last extended it. With the option to allow remote work in situations where it is reasonable to do so, Department Heads are not only able to lower density in offices and reduce potential spread of the virus, they are able to allow employees flexibility given the care needs of their families and remote learning needs of the children resulting from pandemic. As we are now entering fall, it is predicted that flu season will further impact our workforce and their families, making remote work, where reasonable, a continuing need for employees and a tool for Department Heads to manage workloads and meet public demands in the wake of staffing limitations.
Staff intended to return to your Board with a proposed policy for remote work on a permanent basis, as requested by your Board. However, with the LNU wildfire disaster, staff was not able to meet the deadline for expiration of the interim policy. As a result, staff requests extension of the interim policy through the end of the calendar year and, in the interim, staff will continue to refine the draft for permanent remote work, and seek the input of. Department Heads and an ad hoc committee of your Board, before bringing it forward for your consideration.
Recommended Action
Adopt Resolution Amending Resolution No. 2020-73, Revising and Extending the County of Lake COVID-19 Interim Policy for Working Remotely

Staff memo
Executive Summary
Attached for your approval is the Agreement between the County of Lake and Care Coordination Systems for the Implementation of Pathways HUB Referral System Software for Fiscal Year 2019-20 through Fiscal Year 2021-22. This will support LCBHS' MHSA Innovation Plan of creating a closed loop referral system between LCBHS and other service providers in the community and amongst themselves as well. This would mean that when one agency refers a patient/client, it would be done electronically, through the Pathways system, to another community agency. That agency would acknowledge that referral and be able to provide additional information about the services provided. LCBHS has already piloted a much more limited version of this with success. The Pathways system, unique in its utilization abilities but matching the goals of the Innovation Project, will provide an even greater tool to provide coordinated care amongst service providers and also allow patients/clients to view their own referrals and progress. This tool and process would make interagency coordination much more possible, allowing agencies to track progress of their clients/patients, and the use community resources more efficiently. Community agencies/providers and community members have been meeting in LCBHS' Innovations Committee, planning this and recognizing this is an innovative tool to better serve our community. Pathways has a history of providing this service and ability in other communities and will be providing ongoing training and technical support to this project. Funding would be provided from the dedicated allotment of MHSA Innovations funding and from the state Whole Person Care Pilot Grant received this past year. The Agreement amount of $512,500.00 is for a multi-year agreement for the implementation of and support services associated with the HUB Referral System Software. As this is a unique software system, it is in the public's best interest to waive the formal bidding process.

This tool and process would make interagency coordination much more possible, allowing agencies to track progress of their clients/patients, and the use community resources more efficiently. Community agencies/providers and community members have been meeting in LCBHS' Innovations Committee, planning this and recognizing this is an innovative tool to better serve our community. Pathways has a history of providing this service and ability in other communities and will be providing ongoing training and technical support to this project. Funding would be provided from the dedicated allotment of MHSA Innovations funding and from the state Whole Person Care Pilot Grant received this past year. The Agreement amount of $512,500.00 is for a multi-year agreement for the implementation of and support services associated with the HUB Referral System Software. As this is a unique software system, it is in the public's best interest to waive the formal bidding process.

Executive Summary
Attached, for your approval, is the Agreement between the County of Lake and Lake County Office of Education - Safe Schools Healthy Students Program for School-Based Specialty Mental Health Services for Fiscal Year 2020-21. Lake County Office of Education - Safe Schools Healthy Students Program provides specialty mental health services at the Highlands Academy in Clearlake. The children enrolled at this Academy have previously not been able to sustain placement in mainstream enrollment in the Konocti Unified School District. This program, through the continued support of Lake County Behavioral Health Services (LCBHS), has helped to decrease rates of truancy and school suspensions, while increasing appropriate behavior while in school, active participation in academia, and improving overall school functioning. Services provided at the Highlands Academy are making a difference in these children and youths lives.
Under the Agreement, Lake County Office of Education as the approved Contractor for Lake County Office of Education - Special Education Local Plan Area (LCOE/SELPA), will provide Medi-Cal Specialty Mental Health Services to Lake County Medi-Cal beneficiaries who have been identified through LCOE/SELPA as eligible to receive services under the Educational Related Mental Health Services (ERMHS) program.
As LCBHS has had a successful working relationship with LCOE and LCBHS would like to continue this working relationship in order to provide specialty mental health services within the schools, LCBHS is requesting to 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.

Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
In December, 2018 the Department of Public Works (DPW) was required by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board to conduct a Closure Evaluation Report (Report) on property at the airport. This property was the former site of a fixed-base operator at the airport called Air Power, Inc., which operated at the site from 1977 to 2009. This site has been the subject of extensive evaluation, monitoring and mitigation efforts since 1995. The Report was the result of groundwater testing performed by the state in 2017 and 2018, which showed continued presence of contamination of the groundwater. DPW hired a consultant to prepare the Report, and they have recommended the recordation of a Deed Notification Covenant to reduce the risk of exposure to residual contamination in the future. I have attached a copy of the draft Report for your information, along with a copy of the proposed Covenant.
This Covenant will only apply to a portion of the overall property at Lampson Field, which is illustrated on the attached map, and it simply restricts the use of groundwater to non-consumptive uses only.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors: a) approve the Deed Notification Covenant for an Environmental Restriction on a portion of Lampson Field and authorize the Chair to sign, and b) direct staff to record the Deed Notification Covenant.

Executive Summary
The Sheriff's Department has issued an informal bid for the purchase of a 2020 Can-Am MAV Sport XX UTV for use by the OHV enforcement team. The OHV enforcement team utilizes a 4x4 Jeep, 5 dual sport motorcycles and 2 enclosed trailers. The motorcycles and Jeep are very effective, however the team now realizes the necessity of a high clearance Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) for areas where recreationalists commonly use UTV's such as Cow Mountain, where many trails are rated "difficult" and "impassable" with conventional vehicles. With the addition of a high clearance UTV, OHV team members will be able to gain access to nearly all trail systems designed for off road use. The newer UTV's being used by OHV enthusiasts cover terrain so efficiently it is almost impossible to conduct patrol enforcements without a vehicle equally equipped. The acquisition of a UTV will require the purchase of an open utility trailer to tow this vehicle.
Hillside Powersports Marine was the only bidder that could provide the requested vehicle prior to OHV grant closeout of October 30,2020. Monies have been made available through the OHV program. The county match is covered by green sticker fees.

Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
(Sitting as the Board of Directors, Lake County Sanitation District)
The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) provided funding through a Planning Grant for the Middletown Sewer Treatment Plant. The Planning grant was used for preconstruction requirements including engineering analysis and 90% design.
Requests for Proposals for Engineering Services was published November 11, 2016 with a closing date of December 28, 2016. Three proposals were received with Brelje & Race Consulting Engineers being chosen as the most qualified firm to perform the work by the Consultant Selection Board (CSB). Brelje & Race Consulting Engineers performed the preliminary engineering studies and work up to 90% design documents. The contract with Brelje and Race was only for up to 90% design because it was funded by the Planning Grant and that is what was called for during that phase of the project.

In preparation of the funding agreement, we are requesting to enter into a new agreement, to be paid with Construction Grant funds, to complete design and receive the bid ready documents.
The project will be grant funded. $5,000,000 was busdgeted for this project with the same amount expected from State Water Resources Control Board in the form of a grant.
There should be no impact to staffing with the execution of this agreement.
Recommended Action
Approve engineering services agreement with Brelje & Race Consulting Engineers for the Middletown Sewer Treatment Plant in the amount of $178,000 and authorize the Board Chair to sign.

Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The Appellant, Clint Nelson, is appealing the Planning Commission's April 23, 2020 decision to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve a Major Use Permit (Files No. UP 19-05 and IS 19-09), which if approved would allow for the development of a small-scale bioenergy production facility using the Artis system at 7130 Red Hills Rd., Kelseyville (APN 009-021-07).
Background
On February 11, 2019 Thomas Jordan (Tribal Administrator for Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians) submitted a Major Use Permit application for a Power Generation Facility located at 7130 Red Hills Rd., Kelseyville.
On April 23, 2020, the Planning Commission approved Major Use Permit (UP 19-05) located at 7130 Red Hills Rd., Kelseyville, CA. The Planning Commission found that the Initial Study (IS 19-09) for the project parcel would not have a significant impact on the environment with the incorporated mitigation measures and adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration. The project proposes the development of a small-scale bioenergy facility using the Artis System. The system contains no open flame components and is a sealed system which uses programmable electric heaters to achieve optimal temperatures.
The operation would occur within a 2,000-square foot enclosed structure on a 40' x 50' six-inch thick concrete pad. The sides of the metal building will be 10' high with 18' wide roll-up doors and one pedestrian entrance. Additionally, a 28,000 square foot storage area that will be used to process and house the production plant's feedstock would be allowed. The storage area will consist of a 6" pad of wood chips used for surfacing to ensure that soil erosion will not occur in the winter season as well as ensure that rock and related material will not be carried to the production plant. All operation facilities are located approximately 900 feet from Highway 29 and approximately 140 feet from Red Hills Road.
According to the applicant, the plant will operate 24 hours per day, seven days per week except when it is shut down for scheduled maintenance, on average, one day per week. Additionally, the operation is highly automated with system safeguards in place to shut the operation down in the event of a malfunction. Employees will be working 5.5 hours per day, seven days a week on a split-shift schedule. The operator will be responsible for chipping feedstock, feeding the hopper, packaging biochar and monitoring the plant's operation. (Refer to Exhibit H - Project Description Packet for further details.)
Zoning of Subject Site and Vicinity
Basis of the Appeal
The appeal to the above noted approval of Major Use Permit (UP 19-05) was filed on April 29, 2020 with the Community Development Department (CDD). Clint Nelson on behalf of the Red Hills AVA Stakeholders (The Appellant) submitted a written statement dated April 29, 2020 detailing the reasoning of the appeal. According to the appellant's statements, the reasons for the appeal includes but is not limited to the following: (Refer to Exhibit B for details.)
1. According to the applicant's submittal, "It is fair to say that issues discussed were either nonchalantly declared 'mitigated' without the ability to enforce or quickly dismissed as this project appeared to be fast-tracked through the approval process."
Response: The Major Use Permit UP 19-05, was submitted to the CDD on February 11, 2019. During the review process, the application was sent to various Federal, State and local agencies for commenting in February 2019 and July 2019. During the course of the review period, agency comments were received, and an incomplete letter was sent out on March 14, 2019, requesting additional information. In April 2019, the applicant met with the (CDD), and indicated they are reducing the project size and will be submitting revised plans. Additionally, the applicant decided to hire an environmental consultant to prepare an Initial Study to comply with all California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements. The CDD worked closely with the environmental consultant in preparing the environmental document. Once the CDD made the necessary corrections to the Initial Study, it was sent out to the State Clearing House in accordance with CEQA and the required 30 day review. During the 30 day review period the CDD sent out the Notice of Intent to various Federal, State and local agencies for commenting including the surrounding property owners within 725 feet of the project parcel.
2. According to the appellant's submittal, "this project is deliberately abusing the zoning system that is currently in-place while simultaneously setting a precedent which should be considered unacceptable."
Response: Pursuant to Article 8 "Rural Residential" of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance Section 8.5(l), "Those uses permitted in the 'RR' district with a major use permit in Table B, Article 27." Pursuant to Article 27, section 27.11, Table B, Item X, "Power Generation Facility" is an allowable use within the Rural Residential zoning district upon securing a Major Use Permit. On February 11, 2019, the applicant submitted a Major Use Permit Application (UP 19-05) to the Community Development Department.
3. According to the appellant's submittal, "The chipping, grinding, generator usage, trucking, overall noise, dust impacts and visuals for all intents and purposes turn a quaint rural residential area into an industrial complex."
Response: The project parcel is surrounded by commercial-agricultural uses which includes vineyards and orchards. The project parcel is zoned Rural Residential (RR), which in accordance to Article 27, section 27.11, Table B, Item X, permits "Power Generation Facility" as an allowable use within the Rural Residential zoning district upon securing a major use permit. On February 11, 2019, the applicant submitted a Major Use Permit Application (UP 19-05) to the Community Development Department.
4. According to the appellant's submittal, "Ultra-premium wines are incredibly sensitive to odors and smoke which cause foul tastes and smells termed taint."
Additionally, "the trucking, grinding, chipping, and unloading of woody debris all create serious threats to the wellbeing of surrounding vineyards as dust is known to transport both pests and diseases into vineyards."
Response: According to the Property Management Plan, all chipping and the processing of wood and/or byproducts will be enclosed within a structure. Additionally, the Community Development Department has completed an environmental analysis (IS 19-09) and mitigation measures and conditions of approval have been incorporated to reduce dust and odors which includes but is not limited to:
� Prior to operation, the primary access roads and parking area shall be constructed, surfaced and maintained with an all-weather surface of asphaltic concrete or concrete unless another all-weather surface is approved by the review authority to minimize dust impacts to the public, visitors and road traffic. All areas subject to semi-truck/trailer traffic shall require asphaltic concrete paving or equivalent to prevent fugitive dust generation. Gravel surfacing may be adequate for low use/overflow driveways and parking areas if it receives regular palliative treatment. The use of white rock for surfacing is prohibited. (Mitigation Measure AIR-2)
� Dust control measures shall be implemented to minimize fugitive dust emissions from the Project Site. Dust control measures may consist of approved chemical, structural, or mechanical methods and shall be reapplied at the necessary intervals to prevent wind erosion. (Mitigation Measure AIR-2)
� Prior to any ground disturbance, the permittee shall submit a Dust Mitigation Plan to the Lake County Air Quality Management District for review and approval and submit a copy of the approved plan to the Community Development Department. Said plan shall detail proposed dust control methods during and post constructions, including the source of water, equipment to be used. Applicant shall contact the Lake County Air Quality Management District for details.
� The applicant shall submit an Asbestos Notification Form to the Lake County Air Quality Management District (LCAQMD) for any remodeling and/or demolition. Applicant shall contact the LCAQMD for details.
o The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for asbestos in buildings requires asbestos inspections by a Certified Asbestos Consultant for major renovations and all demolitions. A complete survey includes inspection of attic spaces, crawl spaces, areas with pipes or heating ducts and equipment.
o An Asbestos Notification (with complete survey and lab report) must be submitted to the Lake County Air Quality Management District at least fourteen (14) days prior to beginning any renovations or demolition work. If regulated asbestos is found, the facility must be abated prior to demolition or renovation (where asbestos may be disturbed).
� Base rock shall be placed on existing roadways during any initial grading to help minimize dust generation from vehicle traffic and development. Regular palliative treatment may be considered as an alternative to paving while being developed.
� Construction and/or work practices that involved masonry, gravel, grading activities, vehicular and fugitive dust shall be management by use of water or other acceptable dust palliatives to maintain two inches of visibly-moist soil in the project area and to ensure that dust does not leave the property.
� All roads, trails and access routes shall be paved and/or adequately surfaced/managed to prevent dust generation. Surfacing/management shall occur prior to the construction and occupancy to minimize dust generation and track out issues. The LCAQMD shall approve of management practices.
5. According to the appellant's submittal, "The noise associated with trucking, chipping, grinding and generator usage will not only decrease adjacent homeowner's quality of life, but also potentially impact the ability for tasting rooms to deliver invaluable experiences needed to bring tourists and customers back to the area."
Response: According to the Property Management Plan, the proposed use will be conducted within an enclosed structure which will help reduce noise to the surrounding area. All chipping and the processing of wood and/or byproducts will be enclosed within a structure. Additionally, the CDD has completed an environmental analysis (IS 19-09) and mitigation measures and conditions of approval have been incorporated to help mitigate noise which includes but is not limited to:
� All construction activities including engine warm-up shall be limited to Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. to minimize noise impacts on nearby residents. Back-up beepers shall be adjusted to the lowest allowable levels. Contractors shall implement noise-reducing measures during construction when occupied residences or other sensitive receptors are located within 500 feet. (Mitigation Measure NOI-1)
� The Project shall comply with the noise standards identified in Section 41.11 of the Zoning Ordinance, including, but not limited to: maximum non-construction project-related noise levels shall not exceed: (a) 55 dBA between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and 45 dBA between the hours of 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. adjacent to residential districts; and (b) 60 dBA between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and 55 dBA between the hours of 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. adjacent to commercial districts at the property lines as outlined in Table 11.1. Should the Project exceed these noise standards during construction or operational phases, noise-generating activities shall cease until noise attenuation measures are implemented such that the Project is compliant with noise standards. (Mitigation Measure NOI-1)
� If the Community Development Department receives substantial noise complaints, the permit holder shall have an Acoustical (Noise) Analysis performed by a qualified professional. Said study shall include mitigation measures to reduce such sounds to acceptable levels and to conform to all Federal, State and local agency requirements.
� No use shall generate ground vibration which is perceptible without instruments beyond the lot line. Ground vibrations caused by motor vehicles, aircraft, temporary construction work, or agricultural equipment are exempt from these standards.
� Devices which generate electromagnetic interference shall be so operated as not to cause interference with any activity carried on beyond the boundary line of the property upon which the device is located. Public utilities shall comply with all applicable state and federal regulations.

The Planning Commission found that the Initial Study (IS 19-09) for the project parcel would not have a significant impact on the environment with the incorporated mitigation measures and adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration. The project proposes the development of a small-scale bioenergy facility using the Artis System. The system contains no open flame components and is a sealed system which uses programmable electric heaters to achieve optimal temperatures.
The operation would occur within a 2,000-square foot enclosed structure on a 40' x 50' six-inch thick concrete pad. The sides of the metal building will be 10' high with 18' wide roll-up doors and one pedestrian entrance. Additionally, a 28,000 square foot storage area that will be used to process and house the production plant's feedstock would be allowed. The storage area will consist of a 6" pad of wood chips used for surfacing to ensure that soil erosion will not occur in the winter season as well as ensure that rock and related material will not be carried to the production plant. All operation facilities are located approximately 900 feet from Highway 29 and approximately 140 feet from Red Hills Road.
According to the applicant, the plant will operate 24 hours per day, seven days per week except when it is shut down for scheduled maintenance, on average, one day per week. Additionally, the operation is highly automated with system safeguards in place to shut the operation down in the event of a malfunction. Employees will be working 5.5 hours per day, seven days a week on a split-shift schedule. The operator will be responsible for chipping feedstock, feeding the hopper, packaging biochar and monitoring the plant's operation.

Zoning of Subject Site and Vicinity
Basis of the Appeal
The appeal to the above noted approval of Major Use Permit (UP 19-05) was filed on April 29, 2020 with the Community Development Department (CDD). Clint Nelson on behalf of the Red Hills AVA Stakeholders (The Appellant) submitted a written statement dated April 29, 2020 detailing the reasoning of the appeal. According to the appellant's statements, the reasons for the appeal includes but is not limited to the following: (Refer to Exhibit B for details.)
1. According to the applicant's submittal, "It is fair to say that issues discussed were either nonchalantly declared 'mitigated' without the ability to enforce or quickly dismissed as this project appeared to be fast-tracked through the approval process."
Response: The Major Use Permit UP 19-05, was submitted to the CDD on February 11, 2019. During the review process, the application was sent to various Federal, State and local agencies for commenting in February 2019 and July 2019. During the course of the review period, agency comments were received, and an incomplete letter was sent out on March 14, 2019, requesting additional information. In April 2019, the applicant met with the (CDD), and indicated they are reducing the project size and will be submitting revised plans. Additionally, the applicant decided to hire an environmental consultant to prepare an Initial Study to comply with all California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements. The CDD worked closely with the environmental consultant in preparing the environmental document. Once the CDD made the necessary corrections to the Initial Study, it was sent out to the State Clearing House in accordance with CEQA and the required 30 day review. During the 30 day review period the CDD sent out the Notice of Intent to various Federal, State and local agencies for commenting including the surrounding property owners within 725 feet of the project parcel.
2. According to the appellant's submittal, "this project is deliberately abusing the zoning system that is currently in-place while simultaneously setting a precedent which should be considered unacceptable."
Response: Pursuant to Article 8 "Rural Residential" of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance Section 8.5(l), "Those uses permitted in the 'RR' district with a major use permit in Table B, Article 27." Pursuant to Article 27, section 27.11, Table B, Item X, "Power Generation Facility" is an allowable use within the Rural Residential zoning district upon securing a Major Use Permit. On February 11, 2019, the applicant submitted a Major Use Permit Application (UP 19-05) to the Community Development Department.
3. According to the appellant's submittal, "The chipping, grinding, generator usage, trucking, overall noise, dust impacts and visuals for all intents and purposes turn a quaint rural residential area into an industrial complex."
Response: The project parcel is surrounded by commercial-agricultural uses which includes vineyards and orchards. The project parcel is zoned Rural Residential (RR), which in accordance to Article 27, section 27.11, Table B, Item X, permits "Power Generation Facility" as an allowable use within the Rural Residential zoning district upon securing a major use permit. On February 11, 2019, the applicant submitted a Major Use Permit Application (UP 19-05) to the Community Development Department.
4. According to the appellant's submittal, "Ultra-premium wines are incredibly sensitive to odors and smoke which cause foul tastes and smells termed taint."
Additionally, "the trucking, grinding, chipping, and unloading of woody debris all create serious threats to the wellbeing of surrounding vineyards as dust is known to transport both pests and diseases into vineyards."
Response: According to the Property Management Plan, all chipping and the processing of wood and/or byproducts will be enclosed within a structure. Additionally, the Community Development Department has completed an environmental analysis (IS 19-09) and mitigation measures and conditions of approval have been incorporated to reduce dust and odors which includes but is not limited to:
� Prior to operation, the primary access roads and parking area shall be constructed, surfaced and maintained with an all-weather surface of asphaltic concrete or concrete unless another all-weather surface is approved by the review authority to minimize dust impacts to the public, visitors and road traffic. All areas subject to semi-truck/trailer traffic shall require asphaltic concrete paving or equivalent to prevent fugitive dust generation. Gravel surfacing may be adequate for low use/overflow driveways and parking areas if it receives regular palliative treatment. The use of white rock for surfacing is prohibited. (Mitigation Measure AIR-2)
� Dust control measures shall be implemented to minimize fugitive dust emissions from the Project Site. Dust control measures may consist of approved chemical, structural, or mechanical methods and shall be reapplied at the necessary intervals to prevent wind erosion. (Mitigation Measure AIR-2)
� Prior to any ground disturbance, the permittee shall submit a Dust Mitigation Plan to the Lake County Air Quality Management District for review and approval and submit a copy of the approved plan to the Community Development Department. Said plan shall detail proposed dust control methods during and post constructions, including the source of water, equipment to be used. Applicant shall contact the Lake County Air Quality Management District for details.
� The applicant shall submit an Asbestos Notification Form to the Lake County Air Quality Management District (LCAQMD) for any remodeling and/or demolition. Applicant shall contact the LCAQMD for details.
o The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for asbestos in buildings requires asbestos inspections by a Certified Asbestos Consultant for major renovations and all demolitions. A complete survey includes inspection of attic spaces, crawl spaces, areas with pipes or heating ducts and equipment.
o An Asbestos Notification (with complete survey and lab report) must be submitted to the Lake County Air Quality Management District at least fourteen (14) days prior to beginning any renovations or demolition work. If regulated asbestos is found, the facility must be abated prior to demolition or renovation (where asbestos may be disturbed).
� Base rock shall be placed on existing roadways during any initial grading to help minimize dust generation from vehicle traffic and development. Regular palliative treatment may be considered as an alternative to paving while being developed.
� Construction and/or work practices that involved masonry, gravel, grading activities, vehicular and fugitive dust shall be management by use of water or other acceptable dust palliatives to maintain two inches of visibly-moist soil in the project area and to ensure that dust does not leave the property.
� All roads, trails and access routes shall be paved and/or adequately surfaced/managed to prevent dust generation. Surfacing/management shall occur prior to the construction and occupancy to minimize dust generation and track out issues. The LCAQMD shall approve of management practices.
5. According to the appellant's submittal, "The noise associated with trucking, chipping, grinding and generator usage will not only decrease adjacent homeowner's quality of life, but also potentially impact the ability for tasting rooms to deliver invaluable experiences needed to bring tourists and customers back to the area."
Response: According to the Property Management Plan, the proposed use will be conducted within an enclosed structure which will help reduce noise to the surrounding area. All chipping and the processing of wood and/or byproducts will be enclosed within a structure. Additionally, the CDD has completed an environmental analysis (IS 19-09) and mitigation measures and conditions of approval have been incorporated to help mitigate noise which includes but is not limited to:
� All construction activities including engine warm-up shall be limited to Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. to minimize noise impacts on nearby residents. Back-up beepers shall be adjusted to the lowest allowable levels. Contractors shall implement noise-reducing measures during construction when occupied residences or other sensitive receptors are located within 500 feet. (Mitigation Measure NOI-1)
� The Project shall comply with the noise standards identified in Section 41.11 of the Zoning Ordinance, including, but not limited to: maximum non-construction project-related noise levels shall not exceed: (a) 55 dBA between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and 45 dBA between the hours of 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. adjacent to residential districts; and (b) 60 dBA between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and 55 dBA between the hours of 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. adjacent to commercial districts at the property lines as outlined in Table 11.1. Should the Project exceed these noise standards during construction or operational phases, noise-generating activities shall cease until noise attenuation measures are implemented such that the Project is compliant with noise standards. (Mitigation Measure NOI-1)
� If the Community Development Department receives substantial noise complaints, the permit holder shall have an Acoustical (Noise) Analysis performed by a qualified professional. Said study shall include mitigation measures to reduce such sounds to acceptable levels and to conform to all Federal, State and local agency requirements.
� No use shall generate ground vibration which is perceptible without instruments beyond the lot line. Ground vibrations caused by motor vehicles, aircraft, temporary construction work, or agricultural equipment are exempt from these standards.
� Devices which generate electromagnetic interference shall be so operated as not to cause interference with any activity carried on beyond the boundary line of the property upon which the device is located. Public utilities shall comply with all applicable state and federal regulations.

7.2Discussion and direction to staff on ways for Public Services Director to waive fees for landfill use for specific groups with community clean up goals
Action Item
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
There are groups around the county that provide a much needed service in helping to clean up our communities. We are well aware that illegal dumping is a problem and does have a potential environmental impact to our land, our scenery, and our lake. I was approached by Citizens Caring 4 Clearlake about reduced or waived fees for the use of the landfill. Throughout the year, this amazing non-profit group organizes many clean ups through the region in and around Clearlake. Many times they focus on hotspot areas such as Sulphur Bank Road, Highway 53, and much more. While they have been able to maintain a budget and continuously commit to raising funds such as their mattress recycle program that they are a part of, the cost of the landfill fees can and will be prohibitive to their continued efforts in the community to help make it a pristine community.
I have spoken with Director of Public Services, Lars Ewing, as well as County Counsel, Anita Grant, and we all agree that the Board of Supervisors is currently the only entity authorized to waive fees. We are always looking out for the best outcomes and a cleaner environment in our communities is a great outcome and I would like to discuss with the board some of the specific criteria we could use to grant authority to the Public Services Director to waive landfill fees.
Possible Criteria:
- Non-profits only with an emphasis on cleaning up communities
- Before and after pictures
- Maximum amount waived per year
- Cleanup is either on public property or private property with an affidavit signed by the property owner confirming that the garbage is a result of an illegal dump

7.3Consideration of a Resolution Authorizing Straight-Time Overtime Pay, for Management Employees Working Beyond Forty (40 Hours in a Week Due to Board of Supervisors Declared Emergencies, Concurrent with Active Emergency Operations Centers for the COVID-10 Pandemic Event and for the LNU Lightning Complex Wildfire Event, Capped at Forty (40) Hours per Event
Action Item
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
As your Board is aware, pursuant to the Management Resolution and the Memorandum of Understanding with the Lake County Sheriff Management Association, by Board resolution, limited overtime (OT) may be granted to management employees during a Board-declared disaster, capped at 40 hours per event.
Unlike hourly employees who are eligible to receive OT when working in excess of 40 hours in a work week, management employees do not ordinarily receive such compensation. Over the course of the last five years and 12 major disasters, management employees have served as the backbone of County disaster response, working long hours and standing up in extraordinary ways, again and again.
If approved by your Board, the subject resolution would apply to both the COVID-19 pandemic and the LNU Lightning Complex Wildfire events. In both circumstances, it is proposed that such limited OT be authorized for management employees who have gone well beyond their customary duties during these disasters, have been put in harm's way by the nature of the work, and have far exceeded 40 hours in a week. This OT would not be authorized for employees who routinely or remotely, during the event(s).
Recommended Action
Adopt Resolution Authorizing Straight-Time Overtime Pay, for Management Employees Working Beyond Forty (40 Hours in a Week Due to Board of Supervisors Declared Emergencies, Concurrent with Active Emergency Operations Centers for the COVID-10 Pandemic Event and for the LNU Lightning Complex Wildfire Event, Capped at Forty (40) Hours per Event
