Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
As you will all be aware, the Governor's Proposed Wildfire and Forest Resilience Expenditure Plan would allocate $1 billion to wildfire prevention and forest management projects.
Lake County's repeated and compounding wildfire disasters have demonstrated the profound importance of working proactively to reduce the probability of future large wildfire events. Recent work through the Lake County Risk Reduction Authority and community partners has shown great promise, and funding is needed to further these critical efforts.
The proposed Expenditure Plan would fund programs such as home hardening retrofits for low-income residents and grants to communities for fuels treatment projects and fire hardening efforts, such as fuel breaks, that can meaningfully reduce the risk to Lake County communities.
I recommend our Board approve the attached Letters of Support, and authorize the Chair to sign.
Recommended Action
Approve Letters of Support for the Governor's Proposed Wildfire and Forest Resilience Expenditure Plan and Authorize the Chair to Sign.

Letter
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The McKinney-Vento Act defines homeless children and youths as individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. This definition also includes:
* Children and youths who are sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason
* Children and youths who may be living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, shelters, or awaiting foster care placement
* Children and youths who have a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings
* Children and youths who are living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings, or
* Migratory children who qualify as homeless because they are children who are living in similar circumstances listed above
Homeless youth often experience numerous traumatic events in their lives including changes in living situations that cause interruptions in their educational settings. The emotional adjustments to these experiences combined with a sense of falling behind at school can be overwhelming. This can result in poor academic performance, increase in absenteeism and problematic behaviors.
Please consider this letter of support to ensure the homeless children of our community have equal access the education provided to all other children and youth. Thank you.

Agreement

Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
Redwood Toxicology Lab provides drug and alcohol testing services as needed by our Child Welfare Services (CWS) division. Testing is court ordered dependent on each family's circumstances. Tests are used to ensure child safety and participant compliance with required programs. The services provided by Redwood Toxicology Lab are necessary to comply with Court orders. Due to COVID-19, testing significantly decreased during Fiscal Year 2019-2020. However, drug and alcohol testing prior to visitations and during investigations is an essential practice, and CWS has established necessary precautions to resume testing on a more regular basis.
In 2017, Social Services issued a Request for Proposals for drug and alcohol testing services, per the County's purchasing guidelines. Unfortunately, we received no responses and ultimately renewed the contract with Redwood Toxicology Lab. In early 2020, we contacted another provider directly and requested a quote for costs of services. The pricing was not competitive when compared to Redwood Toxicology Lab and we proceeded to renew the contract again.

Report
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
In order to better regulate the proliferation of illegal cannabis cultivation, multiple counties have employed the use of satellite imagery. This imagery has helped identify these operations and streamline the ability of code enforcement to respond. The counties using this service have contracted with Planet Labs, which has offered previously unavailable services allowing for targeted imaging of certain areas at a designated time, up to the entire boundaries of the County if needed.
Lake County is among those jurisdictions being provided funding for this satellite imagery service through a Proposition 64 - Public Health and Safety Grant. The focus of this grant is to support code enforcement operations against unlawful cannabis cultivation. The total cost of the agreement is not to exceed $49,950 this calendar year.
Staff is requesting your Board 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. The agreement is attached for your consideration.
Recommended Action
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 approve the Agreement for Provision of Satellite Imagery Services by Planet Labs to the County of Lake, authorizing the Chair to sign.

7.2Consideration and Approval of Classification, Compensation Recruitment and Retention Committee (CCRR) Findings and Recommendations Arising from Departmental 2019 CPS-HR Classification and Total Compensation Study Review Requests.
Action Item
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
As your Board is aware, Phase 1 of implementation of the 2019 CPR-HR Classification and Total Compensation Study went into effect as of December 1, 2021 payroll. In the time since, the Study Project Management Team (comprised of Administrative Office and HR staff) received requests from Department Heads for reconsideration of the Study's findings related to a selection of County Classifications. Seven Department Heads submitted a total of 24 requests for review.
On January 8, 2021, the Classification, Compensation, Recruitment and Retention Committee (CCRR) convened to consider whether the requests submitted constituted errors in application of the Study's methodology, or similar matters that should be immediately corrected to fulfill Study principles. CCRR determined that of the requests received, 4 classes warranted adjustment. The following changes are recommended by CCRR. No additional appropriations are needed to accommodate these adjustments.
1. Behavioral Health Request: Deputy Director positions be paid at same Salary Grade Pre-Study and Post-Study
Director Metcalf indicated both of Behavioral Health's Deputy Director Positions, carrying Administrative and Clinical responsibilities, respectively, should be paid at the same salary grade, 146/M46. The Study initially placed the "Clinical" Deputy Director position at Salary Grade 145/M45. CCR found placement of both positions at the same Salary Grade (146/M46) was not inconsistent with any Study finding, and both positions were at the same Salary Grade prior to the Study.
CCRR Recommendation: Study error, set Deputy Director of Behavioral Health Services - Clinical Position at Salary Grade 146/M46.
2. Behavioral Health Request: Substance Abuse Counselor III position recommended to be consolidated and abolished during Study, should be reinstated.
Despite earlier feedback, Director Metcalf requested this position (Job Code 04-2049) remain available (i.e., Substance Abuse Counselor I, II, III and Senior should all remain available).
CCRR Recommendation: Not a study error, discretion over position consolidations granted to the Department Head in the course of the Study, and reversal of that decision at Department Head recommendation is consistent with Study principles. Job Code 04-2049 is presently allocated (assigned Salary Grade 113/G13), no immediate action is necessary. Substance Abuse Counselor III position to remain available, as requested.
3. Sheriff-Coroner Request: Administrative Manager salary grade should be consistent with other Chief Fiscal Managers in County Service at Salary Grade 136/M36
Sheriff Martin indicated the duties and responsibilities of the Sheriff-Coroner Administrative Manager position (Job Code 01-2105) are comparable to Fiscal Management positions in Special Districts, Health Services and Public Services, all assigned to Salary Grade 136/M36. CCRR agreed these positions were closely related, and Internal Equity considerations in the Study's Methodology supported the request.
CCRR Recommendation: Study error, apply Salary Grade 136/M36 to the Sheriff-Coroner Administrative Manager position.
4. Social Services Request: Employment and Training Worker (ETW) Series (I, II, III, Supervisor) salary grades should allow for progression from Eligibility Specialist Series
In the course of the Study, Department Heads provided feedback regarding all Classifications. Based on Director Markytan's feedback, adjustments were made to this Classification series, in the interest of preserving relationships across Classes. Director Markytan now requests an adjustment to preserve progression from the Eligibility Specialist II position (Job Code 04-0706, Salary Grade 110/G10) to the Eligibility & Training Worker (ETW) series, specifically. Enacting this decision requires adjustment of the Salary Grade assigned to each Classification within the ETW series.
CCRR Recommendation: Not a study error, reversal of a decision made at Department Head discretion. The following adjustments are needed, in accordance with Study Principles:
Position Old Grade Current Grade Adjusted Grade
ETW I (04-0718) B15 107/G07 111/G11
ETW II (04-0717) B17 111/G11 115/G15
ETW III (04-0715) B19 115/G15 119/G19
E&T Supervisor (03-0714) A22 121/S21 124/S24
Recommended Action
1) Approve the recommendations not requiring Meet and Confer; and
2) Approve in concept those that do require Meet and Confer, and authorize the Human Resources Director to initiate the Meet and Confer process with the applicable employee associations.
