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:
This item came to my attention subsequent to the posting of the current agenda and there is a need to take action before the next agenda.
(b) In light of impending stay at home orders and impacts on County operations, staff seeks the direction of your Board to manage staffing and services to the public.
As you recall, on 03/27/20, your Board approved the first iteration of the interim policy for working remotely:
https://countyoflake.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=4407209&GUID=CB842925-8296-4C15-A8A7-C605EB95376F
An ad hoc committee of your Board worked with department heads to make plans for our non-essential workforce to shelter in place and no longer come to County offices.
Essential workers are defined by CISA/CDC as those falling under critical infrastructure sectors:
https://www.cisa.gov/identifying-critical-infrastructure-during-covid-19
Non-essential workers are not included under the sectors for critical infrastructure.
To ensure employee and workplace safety, your Board directed all department heads to immediately cease business practices which involved bringing the public into the Lake County Courthouse unless they made special arrangements subject to CAO approval. Following your 03/27/20 Board meeting, department heads were given the following guidance:
On 03/27/20, the Board took action on non-essential County employees as follows:
(a) Directed department heads to immediately send workers they have determined to be non-essential to shelter in place during the COVID-19 disaster, and;
(b) Authorized department heads to periodically adjust their determinations of non-essential workers due to the fluid nature of the disaster, and;
(c) Directed department heads to provide remote work assignments to non-essential workers when feasible, offer DSW work, or approve such employees the use of accruals and other leave benefits while sheltering in place and not working, and;
The ad hoc committee formulated the following definitions for our employees during the crisis:
Position Type during COVID-19 Disaster
Description
1. Essential (as defined by Sector)
Cannot work remotely due to nature of work
2. Essential (as defined by Sector)
Can work remotely with County-provided computer
or tablet.
3. Non-essential (as defined by BOS)
Can work remotely with County-provided computer as long as work is available.
4. Non-essential (as defined by BOS)
Cannot work remotely due to nature or availability of work.
From 03/27/20 to 06/01/20, for the most part, non-essential workers sheltered in place at their homes while essential workers found ways to serve the public without in-person contact. During the time, the public did not enter the courthouse for County services.
Most County employees returned and offices were reopened to the public on 06/01/20 but even now, a number of offices still have staff working remotely as much as they can, to reduce workplace density and promote the safety of employees and of the public.
Fast forward to the present:
Today, your Board approved a permanent policy for working remotely, following extension of the interim policy on a number of occasions.
Our Public Health Officer predicts, as do state projections, that all of California will soon be under stay at home orders (in three-week increments) given the severely diminished ICU bed capacity and exponential growth of cases statewide.
A stay at home order is essentially the same as the shelter in place order that led to the extreme measures taken in Spring 2020. The stay advises that once in force, a stay at home order will last three weeks and could be extended depending on regional status.
Recommended Action
(a) I request that the Board take action by motion to accept this item for consideration as an "extra" agenda item.
(b) Staff seeks the direction of your Board today:
In the event the stay at home order goes into effect in Lake County, do the same steps taken last spring still apply? (see above)
Do department heads have the same level of authority?
Will County offices be temporarily closed to in-person services?

Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
For many years, your Board has provided a retiree insurance benefit whereby employees retiring after 15 and 20 years of continuous service are eligible to receive a monthly stipend equivalent to 50% and 75%, of the cost of the group health insurance medical premium for employee-only coverage up to the point qualifying employees become eligible for Medicare.
For appointed management employees, years of service for this benefit is quantified using the employee's date of hire and separation date. However, for Elected Officials, terms of office are defined by statute. Staff is recommending your Board add this sentence to Article 2.3 of this Resolution, to clarify applicability for Elected Officials:
"For the purpose of retiree stipend calculation, years of service for Elected Officials shall be quantified by completed statutory terms of office".

5.7Adopt Resolution Authorizing the 2022-2023 Grant Project-Lake County Child Advocacy Center Program and Authorize the Chair to Sign the Certification and Assurance of Compliance
Resolution
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) created this grant in 2018 for the purpose of funding affiliate, developing, and accredited Child Advocacy Centers in California which work with child abuse victims to reduce trauma to the children and their families by using a multidisciplinary-team approach. The Victim Witness Division of the District Attorney's Office has had its own Multi-Disciplinary Interview Center (MDIC) called "Hope House" for about 15 years. Hope House uses specialized audio/video equipment to conduct children's interviews in a less intimidating setting. Due to the nature of these situations, interviews must be conducted by a specially trained, trauma-informed professional who can build a rapport with the child, while conducting a meaningful and productive interview - this professional is also known as a Forensic Interviewer.
The grant reimbursable costs of $92,700 will fund a full-time Forensic Interviewer, the Interviewer's training, a portion of the Victim Witness Program Administrator for supervising, maintenance of the audio/visual equipment, as well as the upkeep and improvements to Hope House. A waiver for the required match of $23,175 will be submitted and is very likely to be partially or fully granted.
Recommended Action

Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
As a follow up to Public Safety Realignment, counties that are willing to complete annual Implementation Plan updates or surveys, and report that information to the Board of State & Community Corrections (BSCC), have been eligible to receive "Training and Planning" grants. The funding amounts of these grants is determined by county population as follows:
$100,000 to counties with a population of 200,000 or less
$150,000 to counties with a population of 200,001 to 749,999
$200,000 to counties with a population of 750,000 and above.
Initially, an updated implementation plan was required to be submitted to the BSCC to receive these funds. In 2013 the BSCC developed an electronic survey to gather the information. Lake County has completed an implementation plan update or survey and has received these funds every year they have been available. County plans and survey responses are available on the BSCC web-site.
In 2020, the required reporting format was changed again (Budget Act of 2020 (AB 74, chapter 6)). The new requirement to receive funding is to not only complete the electronic survey, but to also provide the BSCC with an updated CCP Implementation Plan.

Report
Staff memo
Executive Summary
I'd like to present the 2019 Crop Report. Overall, the gross value of agriculture production in Lake County was $106,428,153. This is a decrease of 5% from 2018. The primary reason for the decrease is that the value of the pear and walnut industries declined due to a sluggish market. The sluggish market is due to excessive carry-over from the previous year and a late harvest season for both commodities.
The top six commodities were as follows:
* Wine Grapes- $83,715,122
* Pears- $14,656,706
* Walnuts- $2,066,000
* Timber Harvest- $1,606,805
* Cattle and Calves- $1,428,800

Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
A. In May 2020, our Board discussed and moved to approve the addition of Processing in PDC zones. Manufacturing is already allowed. Processing is a part of manufacturing without the extractions. It is therefore a lower threshold of activities related to cannabis. It had been approved to move to second reading, but did not show up in the final reading. This ordinance is to rectify this error. Please refer to May 5, 2020 Item 7.3 for further information.
B. Important farmland has been protected since the inception of the cannabis ordinance. However, the wording related to important farmland in our current ordinance is vague and has created certain issues and concerns on how it has been interpreted. Originally the text read that outdoor cultivation would only be allowed on important farmland if it was not connected to a larger network of important farmland, or if it was isolated. Both larger network and isolated were not defined. Working alongside the Cannabis Alliance, Ag Commissioner, Lake County Farm Bureau, Director De Leon, and Supervisor Brown the ordinance before our Board is a solution to helping protect both industries. New buffers have been set with more concrete guidelines that will not be open to interpretation. A new State Route setback of 1000 feet with visibility screening is also offered within the ordinance to further protect our communities from potential nuisance.
C. Many projects related to the vertical economy of cannabis are hampered due to our restrictions on density. In order for these projects to be a possibility, cultivation is required as well as the creation of processing plants. Many growers this year have lost their crops due to a lack of processing plants in the region. PDC is a perfect zone for industrial style development. By increasing the yield and only allowing indoor/mixed light in PDC, this can help with ensuring that we are a county that does not just grow raw material, but also become a county that can create a final product. An increase in density, traditionally, has been sent to the Planning Commission to review its potential impacts and offering guidance to the Board of Supervisors. This ordinance requests that we submit this density increase in PDC to the Planning Commission for review.
Recommended Action
A.) Approve the Ordinance Amending Chapter 21 of Article 27 of the Lake County Code to Correct the Inadvertent omission of Cannabis Processing Licenses in PDC Zoning. B.) Approve the Ordinance Amending Chapter 21 of Articles 27 and 68 of the Lake County Code Pertaining to Commercial Cannabis Cultivation in Proximity to Lake County Important Farmland. C.) Approve the Resolution of intention of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Lake to Initiate Amendments to the zoning ordinance to establish regulations and develop standards for the cultivation of cannabis amending Article 15 of the Lake County Code Pertaining to the Planned Development Commercial or "PDC" District.

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 $150,000 Type I Funding grant to Lake County to fund the development of a cannabis equity program. The California Center for Rural Policy at Humboldt State University (CCRP) was selected by the County as the consultant to assist in this process.
The State requires that an independent Cannabis Equity Assessment (CEA) for Lake County be completed in order to create a local equity plan (LEP). The stated goal of the CEA is to provide "a summary of that data and recommendations for a local equity program that will provide assistance to community members that experienced harm from decades of criminalization of cannabis and poverty and support their participation in the legal cannabis industry in Lake County." To develop the CEA, CCRP has engaged in interviews throughout the community including county staff, elected officials, cultivators, and law enforcement. CCRP has further developed information from secondary resources. On November 17th, 2020, the draft CEA was brought before your Board to provide an opportunity for comments and public discussion.
The State has just announced the next round of funding becoming available, with a submission date of February 1st, 2021. This will enable the local equity plan to be developed and adopted in January, to ensure the County is able to submit its Type II application and secure the state funding needed to implement the program next year. A resolution authorizing up to $100,000 of matching funds will be brought before your Board at the time the LEP is presented.
The final draft CEA is attached for your consideration.
Recommended Action
Approve submission of the Cannabis Equity Assessment.

In light of the new restrictions set in place by the state, I wish to see the CARES Act Committee continue its efforts in assisting businesses to survive. Grant funding has been recently made available in the sum of $500 million at the state level and potential new federal funds may be available in the near future as they continue to discuss new stimulus plans.

Brown: aye Crandell: aye Sabatier: aye Scott: aye Simon: absent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
As you will recall, on September 15, 2020, your Board Adopted Resolution No. 2020-128, (amending Resolution 2020-73, adopted March 27, 2020), thereby extending the County of Lake COVID-19 Interim Policy for Working Remotely through December 31.
Department Heads have reported significant benefits from the flexibility offered by remote work. Some have been able to attract talent otherwise unavailable. Others have noted certain Classifications have seen an increase in productivity. During the pandemic, it has been a particularly critical support of workplace safety, allowing for greater spacing in County offices.
Remote work is not right for every County position, nor for every County employee. However, enabling remote work as a permanent tool has the potential to enhance our competitiveness and improve and stabilize service delivery.
Staff recommends adopting the County of Lake Policy for Working Remotely.
We are grateful to Supervisors Sabatier and Scott for their participation in the working group that supported development of this important policy.
Recommended Action
Adopt the County of Lake Policy for Working Remotely.
