Memorandum Date: May 24, 2021 To: The Honorable Bruno Sabatier, Chair, Lake County Air Quality Management District Board of Directors From: Douglas Gearhart, APCO Subject: School Bus Replacement Grant with Kelseyville Unified School District Executive Summary: The District received $200,000 in Year 18, $200,000 in Year 19, and $200,000 in year 20 Carl Moyer Program (CMP) grant funds from the State Air Resources Board (ARB). The funding proposed herein would utilize any remaining Year 18 interest funds, the remaining Year 19 funds and a portion of Year 20 funds. Year 19 project funding must be obligated by June 30, 2021. School Bus replacement funding is capped at $165,000.00 per diesel fueled school bus.

With these new guidelines, we are able to qualify more projects and use the funds locally. Currently the Kelseyville Unified School District has 1 bus that has met all requirements to qualify for replacement under the CMP grant program. The projects proposed below have been determined to be viable and able to meet all necessary requirements of the grant program within the timeframe for this funding cycle and are recommended for approval at this time: Contract # CMPSBR 2021-01 - KUSD Bus 6 $148,265.41 Replacing a 1998 Thomas Saf-T-Line bus with a 2020 Thomas CHSY School Bus.

Memorandum Date: May 28, 2021 To: The Honorable Bruno Sabatier, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Scott De Leon, Public Works Director Subject: Approve an Amendment to the Agreement between the County of Lake and Pavement Recycling Systems, Inc. for the rehabilitation of Big Canyon Road in the Amount of $109,200 for a Total Contract Amount of $252,000, and authorize the Public Works Director to sign the Amended Agreement Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): In October 2019, your Board approved a contract with Pavement Recycling Systems, Inc. (PRS) for the rehabilitation of a portion of Big Canyon Road. PRS was to utilize a specialized construction technique - cement-treatment of the subgrade - for the reclamation of the existing road, and we proposed at the time to combine those services with the staff of DPW who would place a double chip-seal over the newly reconstructed roadway. The project was ultimately delayed in the Fall of 2019 due to inclement weather, and again in 2020 when the plant that provided the emulsions used in the chip seal process was closed due to the Covid pandemic. When the project was scheduled for 2021, DPW staff had already begun preparations for other construction projects and we were not available to provide services. In lieu of cancelling or postponing the project, PRS brought in a subcontractor to perform the necessary grading, compaction and shaping. Today's item amends the original PRS contract to include the additional work performed by the sub-contractor, and a minor increase in cost for the items of work due to the delay. The revised costs are summarized in the attached proposal from PRS. This project is being funded with revenues generated by Senate Bill 1 (SB1) which has programmatic goals of utilizing new technologies in the maintenance and rehabilitation of local streets and roads. FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): Budget Unit 3011 (Road Department) appropriated $500,000 for the reconstruction of Big Canyon Road. The additional cost of the sub-contractor is within the overall budget, and the total project will be completed for less than the budgeted amount. Recommendation Approve the Amendment to the Agreement between the County of Lake and Pavement Recycling Systems, Inc. for the rehabilitation of Big Canyon Road in the amount of $109,200.00 for a total contract amount of $252,000.00 and authorize the Public Works Director to sign the Amended Agreement.

Recommended Action: The Board of Supervisors Approve the Amendment to the Agreement between the County of Lake and Pavement Recycling Systems, Inc. for the rehabilitation of Big Canyon Road in the amount of $109,200.00 for a total contract amount of $252,000 and authorize the Public Works Director to sign the Amended Agreement.

Memorandum Date: May 21, 2021 To: The Honorable Bruno Sabatier, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Scott Harter, Special Districts Administrator Subject: Authorize Special Districts Administrator to sign agreement with CivicSpark in the amount of $29,000 for one Civic Spark Fellow to develop and implement an ArcGIS based asset management program and to assist in scanning, storing and cataloging the Special Districts plan collection. Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): Special Districts applied for and was accepted as a partner organization with CivicSpark. We will receive one Civic Spark Fellow with ArcGIS and database, experience and knowledge for 11 months. We plan to utilize them to develop and implement an ArcGIS based asset management program that will map, identify and assess infrastructure to help manage and plan capital improvement needs. A secondary task will be to scan, store and catalog our plan collection. Special Districts utilized the services of a Fellow through the Civic Spark program last year to continue the process of creating an ArcGIS asset management program for the Southeast Wastewater Treatment Plant. We were very satisfied with the work that was able to be completed, and we will be using the services of the new Civic Spark Fellow to follow through and complete the asset management program. A secondary task will be to scan, store and catalog the Special Districts plan collection, with any additional time being spent starting the process of creating an ArcGIS asset management system for one of the other sewer facilities that Special Districts is responsible for. CivicSpark supports resiliency-focused research, planning, and implementation projects that benefit local public agencies in California. CivicSpark provides public agencies and other organizations with 11 months of quality capacity building support via highly motivated emerging leaders. All CivicSpark Fellows are Americorps Members selected through a highly competitive national application process. Fellows have at minimum a college degree in a relevant field, and typically have workplace and/or community service experience. For the eleven months the CivicSpark Fellow will be working for Special Districts, CivicSpark will pay the salary, insurance and workers comp. Special Districts will pay $29,000 for the Fellow to work full time for 11 months. The $29,000 has been budgeted for this. Skilled GIS employees are hard to recruit and costly to hire. To receive a fellow for 11 months at a total cost of $29,000 will save a considerable amount of money. The project itself will help better plan and budget for future improvements and projects which will also have a positive fiscal effect on the district.

Memorandum Date: June 8, 2021 To: The Honorable Bruno Sabatier, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer on behalf of your Board's CDD ad hoc committee consisting of Supervisors Simon and Pyska Subject: 9:30 A.M. - (a) Consideration to Waive the formal bidding process, pursuant to the Lake County Code Section 2-38.2, as it is not in the public interest due to the unique nature of goods or services; and (b) Consideration of Agreement for Consulting Services for Lake County Community Development for the amount of $100,000.00; and (c) Consideration to Appoint the County Administrative Officer, or her designee, as Interim Community Development Director Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): Given the need to fast track consulting services for the Community Development Department (CDD), on behalf of your Board's ad hoc committee, I directly contacted four consultants to request interim coverage for CDD while the department transitions to standalone and recruitment is underway for the next CDD Director. Of the four consultants, two responded to indicate they had availability to meet our needs and the committee reviewed their proposals and interviewed their representatives. It is the recommendation of the committee that your Board move forward with the services of Management Partners (MP) effective June 14, 2021. MP's proposal is attached to the contract as Exhibit "D", as the scope of work for this interim project. David Boesch will be Special Advisor to CDD and comes to us with extraordinary experience in County and City Planning and Administration. Additional members of the MP team will support Special Advisor Boesch' efforts as our needs progress. MP will provide support during Planning Commission meetings, management and advice on CDD projects, coaching and mentoring of staff, analytical assistance, stakeholder outreach, and more. It is anticipated that MP will begin this work June 14, 2021 and continue to 10/31/21. As a contractor, the MP team will not make personnel decisions, execute agreements, sign financial documents, exercise budget authority or take other actions which are customarily the responsibility of the County department head. For this reason, the committee further recommends that, for the next several months until a permanent CDD Director can be hired, your Board appoint the CAO/designee to serve in the capacity of Interim CDD Director. During this time of transition, the CAO will oversee personnel matters, execute agreements, approve financial documents and sign off as the department head for any matters requiring CDD Director approval. To provide additional support as designee, Assistant CAO Susan Parker will touch base with CDD staff on a daily basis when Special Advisor Boesch is not present.

The appellants have standing to appeal the Planning Commission's decision. (b) Timeliness, form, filing and fee: An appeal of a decision by the Planning Commission shall be filed with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors within seven (7) calendar days of the decision on the prescribed form and accompanied by the applicable fee in the amount to be set by the Board of Supervisors. (Ord. No. 1749, 7/7/1988) Response: This appeal was filed on Wednesday April 28, 2021 at 3:30 pm, within the appeal period on the correct application form and with the correct application fee. (c) Required documents: An appeal shall be accompanied by a written statement setting forth the grounds upon which the appellant asserts there was an error or abuse of discretion by the Planning Commission. (Ord. No. 1897, 12/7/1989) Response: The appellants submitted a written description of why they believe the Planning Commission erred in their decision to approve this land use permit and CEQA review (IS/MND). 58.32 Effect of filing the appeal: An appeal shall stay the proceedings and effective date of the decision of the Planning Commission until such time as the appeal has been acted on as hereinafter set forth.

Notice was sent to all known participants and persons filing written and emailed comments prior to the Planning Commission hearing. IV. Project Analysis 1. Article 51.4, Major Use Permits, Findings Required for Approval The Board of Supervisors may approve or deny this appeal based on the concurrence with the basis for the appeal. Upholding the appeal would cause the Use Permit and IS/MND to be denied. Denying the appeal would result in the approval or conditional approval of the Major Use Permit and Mitigated Negative Declaration if the Board of Supervisors agree with the Planning Commission's decision that allow the following required findings are met: 1. That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use applied for will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, or be detrimental to property and improvements in the neighborhood or the general welfare of the County. Response: The "We Grow" site is located in an area that is heavily treed. Portions of the 309 acre property are visible from some roads and lots inside of Hidden Valley Lake, however the tree coverage between the HVL development and the proposed cultivation area is significant. There are several upscale homes that are elevated above the 'We Grow' property, however the greenhouses proposed are shielded enough by the existing tree coverage and positioning of these homes will likely not be significantly impactful to these neighboring houses if screening and blackout material is used around and inside the greenhouses, as was required by the Planning Commission. The applicant will need to remove between 20 and 30 mature oak trees to accommodate the greenhouses; the Planning Commission required a Tree Replacement Plan and an 8' tall screening fence around the entire cultivation site to help alleviate the visual impacts associated with this cultivation project. 2. That the site for the project is adequate in size, shape, location, and physical characteristics to accommodate the type of use and level of development proposed. Response: The three lots associated with this project are 309 acres in total area. The cultivation portion of the site will occupy just over 9 acres. The property is large enough to accommodate the intended use. 3. That the streets, highways and pedestrian facilities are reasonably adequate to safely accommodate the specific proposed use. Response: The site is served by Herrington Road, a private dirt / gravel road. The interior driveway would need to be upgraded to meet CalFire road standards (Public Resource Code [PRC] sections 4290 and 4291). This upgrade to the interior driveway is required through Conditions #K1, K3, K5 and K7 within the Conditions of Approval for this application. 4. That there are adequate public or private services, including but not limited to fire protection, water supply, sewage disposal, and police protection to serve the project. Response: The comments received from all public and private services have been supportive of this facility at this location. The Redwood Valley Band of Pomo expressed concerns over water usage associated with this project due to drought conditions. 5. That the project is in conformance with the applicable provisions and policies of this Code, the General Plan and any approved zoning or land use plan. Response: The Planning Commission reviewed this file on April 22, 2021 and determined that the project met all applicable goals, policies, standards and criteria found within the General Plan, the applicable Area Plan (Middletown Area Plan in this case), and the applicable Articles and subsections within the Zoning Ordinance. 6. That no violation of Chapters 5, 17, 21, 23 or 26 of the Lake County Code currently exists on the property, unless the purpose of the permit is to correct the violation, or the permit relates to a portion of the property which is sufficiently separate and apart from the portion of the property in violation so as not to be affected by the violation from a public health, safety or general welfare basis. Response: There are no violations on the subject site. There had been violations on the property at the time the applicant / owner purchased the property. It is unclear who created the violations, which involved stolen heavy equipment, however the California Highway Patrol (lead investigating agency); the Lake County Sheriff's Department, and the Lake County Code Enforcement Department have indicated that there are no longer any open violations on this site. Article 27, sub. (at); Three Required Findings for Commercial Cannabis Approval In addition to the findings required above for a Use Permit, the following findings are required for approval of a cannabis-specific Use Permit: 1. The proposed use complies with all development standards described in Chapter 21, Article 27, Section 1.i. Response: The purpose of this report is to evaluate the levels of compliance with the standards and criteria found in Article 27, section 1.i, as well as other portions of the Zoning Ordinance, General Plan and applicable Area Plan. The Planning Commission found that the project was in full compliance with all applicable standards and criteria, or could be brought to fully compliance with applicable conditions of approval. (Exhibit A7) 2. The applicant is qualified to make the application described in Chapter 21, Article 27, Section 1.ii.(g). Response: The applicant has passed 'live scan', and is the owner of the property. The applicant is qualified to make this application. 3. The application complies with the qualifications for a permit described in Chapter 21, Article 27, Section 1.ii.(i). Response: With the exception of projected energy usage and supply which can be mitigated through conditions of approval, the application was determined to be complete after a thorough review to verify that all submittal requirements set out in Article 27, Section 1.ii.(i) are met. V. APPEAL SUBMITTAL. The appellant submitted an application for Appeal to the Board, along with the required fee and appellant's attachment.

Memorandum Date: June 8, 2021 To: The Honorable Bruno Sabatier, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer Subject: 11:00 A.M. - PUBLIC HEARING - Consideration of Resolution Approving Resolutions and Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plans Submitted by Lake County Fire Agencies and Updating the Lake County Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plan. Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): In October of 1992, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 2114 establishing a Fire Mitigation Fee Program that is applicable on new construction. Pursuant to that Ordinance, each local fire district adopted a Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plan, which serves as the basis for the findings that support each district's requested fire mitigation fees. Those individual Plans and findings were then collectively adopted by your Board to become the Lake County Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plan. The subject Ordinance also directs the fire districts to annually submit a resolution which reflects re-adoption of their findings and a request to continue imposition of their fire mitigation fees. Similarly, Government Code Section 66002 requires that the Lake County Fire Facility and Equipment Plan be updated annually by resolution at a noticed public hearing. This update consists of each district's re-adopted findings as well as their Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plans as may be amended. Each of the fire districts has now submitted the appropriate resolutions which staff has found sufficient to meet the requirements of Ordinance No. 2114. The attached County resolution serves to collectively approve the individual resolutions of each fire district, update the Lake County Fire Facility and Equipment Plan (if applicable), and authorize collection of the indicated fire mitigation fees.

Memorandum Date: June 8, 2021 To: The Honorable Bruno Sabatier, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Bruno Sabatier, Chair and District 2 Supervisor Subject: Discussion on drought related issues: a) How to handle future ag projects b) How to handle water trucks c) How to deal with illegal cannabis Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): a) Ag projects are important to the economy for jobs and tourist attraction. However, ag projects all require a large amount of water to successfully grow crops to be sold in available markets. During an extreme drought, such as the one we are in, we need to be mindful on how much water used is too much water used, but we do not have a mechanism to assist our staff and our planners to make these decisions. Do we stop all ag projects that are not in process in Community Development? Do we slow down the process for all ag projects that are not in process in Community Development? Do we continue as is? We need to discuss how to best protect a very valuable resource, water. We want drinking water to continue to be accessible whether from the lake or a well. We want our ag endeavors to continue to be successful whether grapes or cannabis. We need to discuss how we move forward as these droughts will occur more often, and will become even longer. What is our plan for the future? I suggest that we seek to implement a waiver for all new applications for any ag project to waive the streamline permitting act so as to slow down the processing of these applications. During that slowed down period, I suggest that we seek to create a water sustainability ordinance to ensure that all who have access to water continue to have access even if we add new activity. I suggest that the Ag Advisory Committee take on the task to create such an ordinance and come back to us on how best to handle our water for the future to ensure we continue to have access to the water we need. b) Water trucks are a problem during a drought. Water trucks are not being handled appropriately by Yolo County Flood Control who permits them to draw water from our lake. Their enforcement is almost non-existent. Due to recent conversations, Yolo County Flood Control 2x2 meetings will start again so we can try our best to rectify this problem, but we are still dealing with a drought and we are still dealing with too many water trucks moving water around our lake, at times absolutely illegally. We need a solution. Let's discuss solutions. One solution is to ban water trucks on specifics roads. Siskiyou County has passed such an ordinance, one that I've attached onto this agenda item. Another solution is to have OES hand out emergency drought water permits to water trucks who have proven that they are a legitimate delivery business, have read and agreed to the rules and regulations as to where this water should legally come from and where it should legally go, and to provide us with monthly reports on how much water they have taken and from where. Their license would be placed on the back of their trucks so that law enforcement can know who is allowed to move water and who is not. Not showing a permit sticker on the back of water trucks would provide a reason to get pulled over and inspected. Another solution is to implement meters and passwords to drawing water from wells or lake access, and more. By collecting this data, we can better understand who is taking water and how much of it. Our aquifers and our lake are a shared resource, regulating and enforcing appropriate use of our waters is paramount to protecting our water. c) Illegal grows are an issue in Lake County, and our efforts, while commendable, are not nearly enough to make a dent. Illegal grows are a huge problem for us during a drought. If people don't care to follow cannabis rules and regulations already in place, we should expect the same philosophy with water usage and protecting our water ways. Going after water trucks would be a great start in hurting our illegal grows, but we need to do more. We have a high definition satellite imagery capability. We have a new administrative fines coming back to us to help strike against those who don't follow our rules and create nuisance and blight in our communities. We need to take action. I want us to discuss how we can use this drought as an opportunity to truly strike against illegal grows once and for all. I understand that we are understaffed and I understand that California laws create red tape for us to move forward, but what other solutions are available for us to make a difference in both the landscape of our communities and the impact to the drought.

Memorandum Date: June 8, 2021 To: The Honorable Bruno Sabatier, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Todd Metcalf, M.P.A. Behavioral Health Services Director Subject: Consideration of (a) Waiving 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 (b) Approval of the Agreement between the County of Lake and Crestwood Behavioral Health for Adult Residential Support and Specialty Mental Health Services for Fiscal Year 2021-22 for a contract maximum of $1,400,000.00 and authorize the Board Chair to sign the Agreement. Executive Summary: Attached, for your approval, is the Agreement between the County of Lake and Crestwood Behavioral Health for Adult Residential Support Services and Specialty Mental Health Services for Fiscal Year 2021-22. Crestwood Behavioral Health has numerous facilities throughout the State of California and serves multiple Lake County Medi-Cal beneficiaries. Crestwood Behavioral Health facilities include Psychiatric Health Facilities (PHFs), Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs), Mental Health Rehabilitation Centers (MHRCs), Adult Residential Facilities (ARFs), Community Programs, and Residential Facilities for the Elderly where clients are offered a continuum of care and treatment from traditional psychiatric services to innovative recovery programs geared toward community reintegration. As LCBHS has clients placed at numerous Crestwood facilities and as it is our goal to keep Lake County clients at the lowest level of care possible, it would require extensive work to find new placement for these clients. Changes in placement could cause the exacerbation of the client's symptoms, which could potentially result in moving the client to a higher, more expensive level of care. Therefore, 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.
