5.3Approve COVID-19 Prevention Program
Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The attached COVID-19 Prevention Program is presented for your Board's consideration. This program document reflects the regulatory standards issued by CalOSHA on November 30, 2020. Since November 30th, CalOSHA has issued several rounds of FAQ's, including as recently as January 26, 2021, for the purpose of providing further clarification about these regulatory standards. The attached COVID-19 Prevention Program reflects the latest clarifying guidance.
The purpose of CalOSHA's regulations is to consolidate, clarify, and support previously established COVID-19 legislation, (AB 685 & SB 1159), relevant Executive Orders that had been issued by the Governor, as well as various COVID-19 "guidelines" that CalOSHA had disseminated. Collectively, these require employers to create procedures to identify and evaluate COVID-19 hazards; to control the hazard of exposure; to respond to employees who have been diagnosed with, have symptoms of, or have been exposed to COVID-19; to identify modes of transmission in the workplace and adopt and implement preventive measures to minimize risk; and to institute employee training; among other requirements.
While CalOSHA's regulatory framework may be relatively new, its requirements have been routinely implemented in Lake County concurrent with the underlying legislation, applicable Executive Orders, and CalOSHA guidelines. As an example, the heart of the COVID-19 Prevention Program is the Worksite Protection Protocol that your board initially adopted on May 19, 2020 and reapproved various times since and as recently as February 9th. Consequently, the ongoing fiscal impact of this Plan has likely been absorbed within the County budget.
Upon adoption, this COVID-19 Prevention Program will become a permanent component of the County Injury Illness and Protection Program.
Recommended Action
Adopt the COVID-19 Prevention Plan

Agreement
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
As designated by your Board, the Department of Social Services (DSS) provides Public Conservator (PC) services in Lake County. DSS-PC, through its partnership with Lake County Behavioral Health Services (BHS) provides Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) conservatorship services for residents who are gravely disabled due to mental illness, who the Court has established are unwilling or unable to receive voluntary treatment. Both BHS and DSS-PC have worked together for many years to ensure quality and timely provision of mental health services to conservatees. BHS arranges for all evaluations of clients from qualified professionals, and DSS-PC uses the recommendations from those evaluations to compile reports for the Court regarding continued conservatorship status. Staff works diligently to meet all strict deadlines set by the Court.
Despite continuous rising costs throughout the economy, the cost for this MOU has not increased since 2006, with this renewal the compensation to DSS-PC is increasing by $30,360 per fiscal year to better match actual fees for services performed.
Recommended Action
Approve Memorandum of Understanding between the Department of Social Services and Behavioral Health Services for the provision of Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) Conservatorships in the amount of $102,780 per fiscal year, and authorize the Chair to sign.

Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The Lake County Housing Commission (LCHC) currently operates under the Department of Social Services. The LCHC's Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program has utilized Lindsey program management software and fee accounting services for many years. In 2020 Lindsey was acquired by MRI Software, which required the formation of a new Contract to continue use of the software. The annual software fee is $12,782, prorated at $11,232 for the first year of the Agreement. Additionally, LCHC will be purchasing 5 years of virtual hosting services using CARES Act funding which must be expended by the end of this fiscal year. This purchase will allow the Housing case managers to more efficiently telework during the COVID-19 pandemic, and beyond. Currently, Housing workers can only access Lindsey using a local server at the office in Lower Lake, which causes a backlog of casework leading to delays in productivity and undue stress on employees. Lack of daily access to Lindsey and tenant case files leads to delayed service provision to Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program participants. The LCHC strives to provide services to tenants in a timely and responsive manner and this will greatly assist in meeting that goal.
Recommended Action
Approve Contract between the County of Lake and Lindsey & Company, Inc., an MRI Software LLC Company in the amount of $104,252 from January 1, 2021 to September 30, 2026, and authorize the Chair to sign.

6.410:00 A.M. - Consideration of Early Activation Changes (a) Amendment to Cannabis Cultivation ordinance (b) Resolution for those were Early Activated in 2020 (c) Efficiency processes, direction to staff
Action Item
Motion carried
Carried 5-0 — moved by Pyska
Crandell: aye Pyska: aye Sabatier: aye Scott: aye Simon: aye
Crandell: aye Pyska: aye Sabatier: aye Scott: aye Simon: aye
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
Early Activations have been a useful tool in getting the cannabis industry settled in Lake County. Part of the reason for Early Activations was due to the backlog of applications that have been received in Community Development. However, we need to ensure that our Early Activations are tightened up and follow a precise pathway both dedicated to ensure the protection of our environment and to fulfill our requirements based on state law. Both staff and applicants can benefit from these changes.
(a) An amendment to our cannabis cultivation ordinance, 27.13 (at), 2, i, (c) will help guide applicants through the process of Early Activation. Additions to the ordinance include a public notification and agency comments on the project. Cannabis due to its smell has the potential to be a nuisance and even Early Activation should be required to follow appropriate notifications. There are also restrictions on changing your early activation. Staff has spent altogether too much time dealing with changes and updates to early activation permits while their focus needs to remain on processing use permits. This would restrict the applicant to submitting an early activation plan and once approved, no changes are allowed. Finally, it also limits the timeline for when an Early Activation can be requested. Some applicants in August were requesting an Early Activation from the department. There is just not enough time to provide the permit, and obtain a state license in a timely fashion. April 20th is being offered as the deadline each calendar year for when you can request for an Early Activation.
(b) A resolution has been prepared so that those who have been provided an Early Activation last year can obtain automatic approval for a new Early Activation as long as they have paid their taxes, are in good standing with state and local laws, obtained their state licenses, are requesting an exact replica of their 2020 early activation, have not received a formal complaint of their activities, and have submitted an Initial Study. Due to the investment required for a single grow season, this resolution offers a segue to continue to operate for the 2021 season with anticipation that by next year they have obtained their use permit.
(c) More is needed to help with the 300+ applications that Community Development is processing. More applicants are coming to Lake County to join the cannabis industry and we must streamline our processes. Here are some ideas to discuss and provide guidance to staff on best pathways to increase efficiencies for obtaining a use permit.
1. Publish a solicitation for an environmental review consulting firm to take all of the environmental reviews en masse with a turn around of 60 days review/complete environmental reviews from award date.
2. Publish a solicitation to establish a pool of qualified environmental consultants; this list of recommended vetted consultants could be provided to cultivators to obtain their own outside environmental review if they would like to facilitate the process. The reason I have not agreed to opening this up before obtaining the pool of consultants is that we have received about 10 outside prepared documents that did not meet the CEQA standards and it has extended the process.
3. Publish a solicitation to work with a local university to have a class prepare the environmental reviews for college credit.
4. Publish a solicitation requesting for a county wide (minus the cannabis exclusion zone) programmatic EIR specifically for cannabis cultivation.
Recommended Action
(a) Approve ordinance amendment to Cannabis Cultivation regarding Early Activation (b) Approve resolution regarding Early Activations for Cannabis Cultivation (c) Provide direction to staff

7.4Consideration of Notification of increase in Concealed Carried Weapon class fees

Staff memo
Executive Summary
The Lake County Sheriff's Office currently processes and issues several hundred Concealed Carried Weapons (CCW) permits each year, per California Penal Code 26150. These permits are broken into two categories, new applications and renewal applications. In addition, the Lake County Sheriff's Office instructs both a sixteen hour basic course and an eight hour renewal course. Each course is instructed by a minimum of two Sheriff's Office Deputy Sheriff Firearms Instructors. CCW applicants may also attend an approved CCW course instructed by a for profit private company.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office has maintained a CCW program for well over thirty years. In that time the Lake County Sheriff's Office has been involved in the instruction of both sixteen hour basic and eight hour renewal CCW courses. By instructing the CCW courses and having a strict review process for private entities wishing to instruct an approved course, the Sheriff's Office has and will continue to ensure the safety of the community and CCW permit holders.
Recently a review of the CCW program was conducted and we determined it was necessary to increase our current CCW fees in order to be fully reimbursed for the services provided to those obtaining or renewing a CCW permit.
Effective March 2, 2021, the Lake County Sheriff's Office will be increasing both new application and renewal application fees. Currently a person completing a new application, attending a course instructed by the Sheriff's Office and receiving a CCW permit is required to pay $219.00 in fees. A CCW holder renewing a CCW permit and attending a course instructed by the Sheriff's Office pays $108.00 in fees. The Sheriff's Office will implement a sixty one ($61) dollar increase in both new application and renewal CCW fees. The sixty one dollar increase represents a thirty ($30) dollar increase in Deputy Instructor fees and the addition of a thirty one ($31) dollar administrative fee. With the proposed increases a new CCW applicant would be required to pay $310.00 in fees and a renewal applicant would pay $169.00 in fees.
During this review process the Sheriff's Office obtained the CCW fees charged by Sonoma, Mendocino, Colusa and Napa Counties. With the proposed increase, the fees charged by the Sheriff's Office would be comparable to the mentioned counties. The proposed increase will ensure the Lake County Sheriff's Office CCW program is cost neutral.
