Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
I am requesting the Board of Supervisors approve the resolution concerning the implementation of Electronic Recording (E - Recording) of documents in the County of Lake, Recorder's Office.
This resolution is needed to provide the Recorder the ability to administer multiple contracts with outside vendors to provide services as they relate to E- Recording. Without these contracts, E - Recording cannot proceed.
E - Recording, once implemented, will provide a streamlined approach to the recording process where possible. E- Recording implementation from this point in time will be approximately two year until the system will go live.
Thank you for your consideration of this request

5.4Approve Amendment to the Agreement between the County of Lake and County of Yuba on behalf of Yuba-Sutter-Colusa Tri-County Regional Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility Maxine Singer Youth Guidance Center, Youth Housing Agreement for an amount not to exceed $48,000 per County Fiscal Year.
Agreement
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
Lake County currently contracts with the Yuba-Sutter-Colusa Tri-County Regional Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility, Maxine Singer Youth Guidance Center for court ordered youth placement. This center is a youth camp that offers an alternative to traditional juvenile hall type placement.
Our original agreement had a contract maximum of $25,000 per County Fiscal Year. Due to an unexpected increase in placements, we are seeking to increase that to a maximum of $48,000 per County Fiscal Year.
The Board may recall a similar amendment was approved at the August 4, 2020 Board Meeting. The amount ($7,788.65) exceeding the original $25,000 occurred at the end of Fiscal Year 19/20. The last amendment did not contain language specifically authorizing payment for the prior fiscal year. The only change in this amendment is the following County Counsel recommended language to clarify that:
"Said maximum payment each fiscal year may include payment of any arrearages due and payable from the prior fiscal year."
Funding for this Amendment is within what Probation already had budgeted for placements in both fiscal years 19/20 and 20/21. We would simply be using this facility as an alternative to other options. This Amendment would have no additional staffing impact.
Which exemption is being requested? The unique nature of the goods or services precludes competitive bidding
How long has Agreement been in place? Since July of 2018
Recommended Action
Approve Amendment to the Agreement between the County of Lake and County of Yuba on
behalf of Yuba-Sutter-Colusa Tri-County Regional Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility Maxine Singer
Youth Guidance Center, Youth Housing Agreement for an amount not to exceed $48,000

5.5Approve the Agreement for Electrical Engineering Services for the Hill Road Correctional Facility Generator Project with JMC Corporation in the amount not to exceed $51,000 and authorize the Chair to sign the Agreement.
Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The current standby emergency power generation system for the Hill Road Correctional Facility is a 300KW generator that is insufficient to fully power the facility and is nearing the end of its operating life. Consequently staff has been planning a project to replace the existing generator with a redundant two-generator system that would provide approximately twice as much power to the facility.
On August 10, 2020 the Public Services Department solicited proposals for electrical engineering services for a redesign of the jail generator system. One proposal was received from JMC Corporation. Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the Agreement for Electrical Engineering Services for the Hill Road Correctional Facility Generator Project with JMC Corporation in the amount not to exceed $51,000 and authorize the Chair to sign the Agreement.
Recommended Action

Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
Pending ratification by the Lake County Employees Association, presented today for the consideration of your Board is the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) By and Between the Lake County Employees Association Units #3, #4, & #5 and the County of Lake for October 21, 2020 - October 20, 2021.
Except as explained below, this MOU implements the CPS-HR Classification and Compensation (CC) Study of October 2019 at 85% of market median (Market 85). Wages for the affected classes will be paid at 85% of the mid-point of the 12 comparison Counties. Those included small counties of comparable size as well as neighboring counties with which we directly compete for talent. (Calaveras, Colusa, Glenn, Humboldt, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Sonoma, Sutter, Tehama, Yolo and Yuba). This is the first CC study completed for Lake County since 2003.
For licensed nursing positions covered under this MOU, the CC study will be implemented at 90% of market median (Market 90), as nursing positions have long been particularly hard to Fill. Local hospitals and health care providers pay substantially more than the County and we compete for the same talent pool.
This MOU eliminates the 12-step salary system, replacing it with a 5-step system and restores longevity pay for continuous services at 5 year intervals. A 5-step system is not only more common in the labor market, it was previously the norm in Lake County.
There are no other changes to the pre-existing terms and conditions of employment for LCEA Employees.
Your bargaining team is very grateful to the cooperation, collaboration and patience of LCEA over the years it has taken to reach this point.
Total estimated cost for implementation of the study for all labor groups: General Fund $1,919,285, comprised of discretionary revenue. Non-General Fund $3,305,839, comprised of state and federal funding sources readily available but historically underutilized.
Recommended Action
Approve Memorandum of Understanding By and Between the Lake County Employees Association Units #3, #4, & #5 and the County of Lake for October 21, 2020 - October 20, 2021.

Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
Pending ratification by the Lake County Deputy Sheriff's Association, presented today for the consideration of your Board is the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) By and Between the Lake County Deputy Sheriff's Association and the County of Lake for October 21, 2020 - October 20, 2021.
Except as explained below, this MOU implements the CPS-HR Classification and Compensation (CC) Study of October 2019 at 85% of market median (Market 85). Wages for the affected classes will be paid at 85% of the mid-point of the 12 comparison Counties. Those included small counties of comparable size as well as neighboring counties with which we directly compete for talent. (Calaveras, Colusa, Glenn, Humboldt, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Sonoma, Sutter, Tehama, Yolo and Yuba). This is the first CC study completed for Lake County since 2003.
However, wages for this Unit already exceed Market 85 levels, and as a result, the classifications are "Y-rated" for the time being. Y-rated classifications stay at their current rates of pay until cost-of-living-adjustments (COLA's) or other increases exceed the current rates of pay. The Y-rated %'s for each class are delineated in Article 2, at the request of LCDSA.
This MOU eliminates the 12-step salary system, replacing it with a 5-step system and restores longevity pay for continuous services at 5 year intervals. A 5-step system is not only more common in the labor market, it was previously the norm in Lake County.
This MOU continues the 80/20 health insurance benefit for this Unit, as explained in Section 5.1. Unit representatives as well as the Sheriff indicate that this benefit has greatly improved the department's ability to recruit and retain staffing.
There are no other changes to the pre-existing terms and conditions of employment for LCDSA Employees.
Your bargaining team is very grateful to the cooperation, collaboration and patience of LCDSA over the years it has taken to reach this point.
Total estimated cost for implementation of the study for all labor groups: General Fund $1,919,285, comprised of discretionary revenue. Non-General Fund $3,305,839, comprised of state and federal funding sources readily available but historically underutilized.
Recommended Action
Approve Memorandum of Understanding By and Between the Lake County Deputy Sheriff's Association and the County of Lake for October 21, 2020 - October 20, 2021.

Property Owner: Ralston, Roy (deceased)
Location: 10100 Bell Ave, Lower Lake, CA
APN: 024-313-060
Zoning: "R1" Single Family Residential District
II. ABATEMENT SUMMARY:
Subject/Purpose:
Pursuant to Chapter 13, Article VII, Section 41.1 - Upon the completion of the abatement, the Enforcement Official shall cause a notice to be prepared, specifying the work done, an itemized account of the costs and receipts of performing the work, an address, legal description or other description sufficient to identify the premises, the amount of the assessment proposed to be levied against the premises, and the time and place when and where the enforcement official will submit the account to the Board for confirmation.
Pursuant to Chapter 13, Article VII, Section 42.1 - At the time and place fixed in the notice, the Board shall hear and consider the account and proposed assessment, together with objections and protests thereto. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Board may make such modifications and revisions of the proposed account and assessment as it deems just, and may order the account and proposed assessment confirmed or denied, in whole or in part or as modified and revised. The determination of the Board as to all matters contained therein shall be final and conclusive.
The Notice of Assessment was posted at the property and published for circulation.
Issue(s)/Complaint(s):
In January/February 2019, a structure fire occurred causing damage to the dwelling located on the property. On March 9, 2020, Code Enforcement received a written complaint concerning the subject property:
"The mobile home has burned and what is left remaining is a hazard and is in danger of falling over."
Property:
The property is zoned "R1" Single Family Residential. Existing on the property was a mobile home with wood covered porch, cabana, and detached storage room. (Exhibit 1)
Enforcement Action:
On or about February 25, 2019, this Department was made aware that a fire occurred on the property. The Building Division posted an "Unsafe Do Not Enter or Occupy" at/on the property.
On March 9, 2020, a complaint was filed with the Code Enforcement Division. On March 11, 2020, a site visit was conducted and it was determined the structure was unsafe and presented serious health and safety issues to the neighboring/surrounding community.
On June 4, 2020, a "Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate" (NONOTA) was posted at/on the property and mailed via certified mail to the owner listed on the assessors roll. A "Do Not Enter or Occupy" red tag was posted in a conspicuous location on the property. Based on County records it was determined that Roy Ralston was the property owner reflected on title. The NONOTA sent in the mail was returned. (Exhibit 2 - Photos and Exhibit 3 - NONOTA)
The NONOTA cited violations of the Lake County Code (LCC) of:
* Chapter 5, Article I, Section 5-4A, 2019 California Building Code Section 116.1 - Structures that are or hereafter become unsafe, insanitary or which constitute a fire hazard, or are otherwise dangerous to human life or the public welfare, or inadequate maintenance, shall be deemed an unsafe condition. Unsafe structures shall be taken down and removed or made safe, as the building official deems necessary and as provided for in this section.
* Chapter 13, Article I, Section 13- 3.1 (e) (4) - Any condition dangerous to human life, unsafe, or detrimental to the public health or safety.
* Chapter 13, Article I, Section 13-3.1 (e) (8) - Any items causing an unsightly appearance which is visible from the public right of way or sites of neighboring properties or which provides harborage for rats and/or other vermin, or creates other potential health hazard or public nuisance.
On July 17, 2020, Code Enforcement reached out to the Lake County Civilian Coroner with the Sheriff's Office for assistance in locating the property owner or his next of kin. At this time, it was discovered the property owner was deceased and pronounced so on November 2, 2015. Code Enforcement contacted the property owner's next of kin, an adopted son Ryan Ralston, who informed Code Enforcement the property was not part of a trust or included in a will. The next of kin stated he had no intention to pursue the property.
On July 28, 2020, as required by Lake County Air Quality Management, an asbestos test was conducted and it was determined the site contained asbestos containing material.
Due to the fact there was no responsible party available or willing to cure the health and safety issues persisting on the property, the Code Enforcement Division determined an abatement action was necessary to abate or eliminate the public health and safety issues. Due to the state of the structure, a demolition and clean-up of the structure was determined to be the most appropriate action.
Competitive Bidding Process:
On July 29, 2020, the contract for abatement work was sent out for bid to the list of registered contractors with the County as part of the competitive bidding process. Code Enforcement received one (1) quote:
* Leonard's Hauling, subcontracting with NRC for the asbestos removal - $21,140.00. (Exhibit 4)
Abatement Action:
On September 17, 2020, a warrant was signed by a Lake County Superior Court Judge allowing access onto the property in order to perform the demolition work. On September 18, 2020, the 24 Hour Notice was posted at/on the property and mailed via certified mail to the address of the property owner as listed on the assessors roll. Between September 21, 2020 to September 25, 2020, work was conducted to remove the asbestos from the property and to demo the existing structure. On September 25, 2020, the abatement was completed, the health and safety issues were resolved. Compliance was achieved with the Lake County Code restoring the property to its original state of a vacant lot. (Exhibit 5)
Recommended Action
(Revised 10-26-2020) - Confirm the assessment of $25,672.00 and direct staff to Record a Notice of Lien against the property.
* The cost of abatement services amounted to $24,140.00.
* The administrative costs on this case amounted to $483.93.
* Asbestos Test amounted to $650.00.
* Lake County Air Quality Management, NESHAP Fee $398.07.
***Note of Interest - property taxes have been delinquent since 2015 in the amount of $9,555.59 (as of the date of this report). (The property is not eligible for a tax lien sale until June 30, 2021 at which time the property will have been delinquent in paying its property taxes for five (5) years.).***

6.711:00 A.M. - Discussion of Potential Eradication of Mute Swans from Clear Lake by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife
Report
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
A recently-published Record-Bee article caused community concern the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) may be poised to eradicate approximately 20-25 Mute Swans on Clear Lake in the immediate future.
CDFW classifies the Mute Swan as an invasive species, noting, "Each adult swan [consumes] up to 8 pounds of [Submerged Aquatic Vegetation] per day," posing potential threats to "the structure and function of aquatic habitats native species depend upon." Additionally, they have been observed to be, "Aggressive towards other birds, as well as people," per CDFW:
https://wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Invasives/Species/Mute-Swan
Lake County residents have expressed concern Mute Swans are an important part of our local landscape, and noted other non-native species have been embraced, including the largemouth bass that have made Clear Lake one of the most prominent fishing lakes in the nation.
CDFW has indicated there are no detailed and immediate plans to eradicate the Mute Swans. A CDFW representative will be present, via Zoom, to provide a report clarifying misconceptions and the process, moving forward. They will also hear and respond to Lake County residents' questions and concerns.

CDFW has indicated there are no detailed and immediate plans to eradicate the Mute Swans. A CDFW representative will be present, via Zoom, to provide a report clarifying misconceptions and the process, moving forward. They will also hear and respond to Lake County residents' questions and concerns.

Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The Cannabis Cultivation and Business Taxes, authorized by Lake County voters through Measure C and Measure K, are both general purpose taxes not designated for specific uses. In the past, for the only existing similarly structured local tax, Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), your Board approved a set of policies and procedures detailing the annual allocation of these funds. Presently, there are no policies and procedures in place regarding the annual allocation of Cannabis Cultivation and Business Taxes. For your reference, a copy of your TOT policy is attached.
Approval of policies and procedures would provide guidelines for the expenditure of the Cannabis Tax revenues. There are eight proposed categories, some of which are department specific while others represent broader objectives. These categories include: 1) Planning/Code Enforcement/Water Resources; 2) Law Enforcement; 3) Economic Development/Housing/Risk Reduction; 4) Youth Alcohol & Drug Education Programs; 5) CannGrant; 6) Workforce Retention & Development; 7) Board of Supervisors Discretionary Spending Fund; and 8) Cannabis Revenue Stabilization Fund.
The tax revenue prior to the current fiscal year has already been allocated by your Board so the proposed allocation would apply to revenue received after July 1st, 2020. The proposed Cannabis Tax Usage & Expenditure Policies & Procedures are attached for your Board's consideration.
Recommended Action
Approve Cannabis Tax Usage & Expenditure Policies & Procedures.
