5. Approval of the Consent Agenda
5.1(A) Approve the Purchase of a Probewell Electric Meter; and (B) Approve a Budget Transfer; and (C) Authorize the Ag Commissioner/Sealer to Sign the Purchase Order
Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The current electric meter prover is over 30 years old. Currently we use a Knopp standard for testing electric meters. This device, although it still works, it is very old. These devices usually fail certification (by the CDFA) at or around the age that ours is. The Knopp device we use is no longer being manufactured, so it's difficult if not impossible to get it repaired if it fails.
The electric meter prover is used to test the accuracy of electric meters used in sub metering situations where the owner of a mobile home park charges the tenants a monthly charge for power use. Accurate meters prevent possible over/under charges to tenants and the owners.
There were three bids that were obtained. The Probewell bid was $8,603. The Tesco bid was $9,986. The Radian bid was $28,995. All three products have similar capacities and are approve for use in California by the CDFA (State). See the attachments.
The Probewell was recommended by the CDFA and is currently being used by the neighboring counties. The Probewell is the new type of device used for testing electric meters. A new standard for testing electric meters is necessary for this department in order to continue testing in the future. We have the funds to purchase this equipment in FY 2020/2021 because of extra Unclaimed Gas Tax (UCGT) monies. UCGT funds are provided by the CDFA and are intended to be spent in the fiscal year they are provided to the counties.
Recommended Action
Request to (A) Approve the Purchase of a Probewell Electric Meter (B) Approve a Budget Transfer (C) Authorize the Ag Commissioner/Sealer to Sign the Purchase Order.

5.3A) Authorize the District Attorney / Assistant Purchasing Agent to issue a purchase order for $6,662.55 to L.C. Action Police Supply for eight (8) Glock duty weapons; and B) Approve Budget Transfer in Budget Unit 2110, District Attorney Department to Object Code 62-74, to purchase duty weapons for District Attorney Investigators
Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The Lake County District Attorney Investigators are sworn peace officers and their duties include serving search warrants, responding to mutual aid requests (such as active shooter situations), and engaging in other law enforcement encounters where officer safety is at risk.
The purchase of these Glock duty weapons will replace the outdated Heckler & Koch (H&K) duty weapons which were purchased in 2007. Glock duty weapons are the standard for most law enforcement agencies - including the Lake County Sheriff's Office. In addition, an employee of the Sheriff's Office is a Glock armorer, who is certified to examine and repair Glock firearms. The H&K pistols are not as widely utilized and would have to be sent to an outside armorer or back to the manufacturer for examination and repairs. Another reason for purchasing Glock firearms is their ability to mount tactical flashlights to the frame - the flashlight is always with the firearm. Not having a flashlight at the ready when going into an unexpected and unknown situation is potentially hazardous for the Investigator.
There are adequate funds to make this purchase. The attached Budget Transfer will shift monies from Inventory (which is where the duty weapons were budgeted to) to the Capital Assets account, Other Equipment, per the Auditor-Controller's guidance. Glock authorizes only two vendors to sell firearms to California law enforcement agencies. We received quotes from both vendors for exactly the same price. We selected the vendor who is exclusively a California-based business - their quote is attached. The outdated pistols will eventually be sold to a Lake County firearms dealer.

5.4(a) 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 (b) Approve the First Amendment to the Agreement between the County of Lake and Management Connections for Temporary Staffing Support Services completed during Fiscal Year 2020-21 for a sum of $150,000 and authorize the Board Chair to sign the Amendment
Agreement
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
Attached, for your approval, is the First Amendment to the Agreement between the County of Lake and Management Connections for temporary staffing support services provided at the county COVID vaccine clinic sites.
Health Services continues the process of actively recruiting county and community volunteers, county Disaster Services Workers (DSW's), and multiple county recruitment requisitions to fully staff our COVID vaccine clinics. Although we have received staffing support through these efforts, we still fall short of the necessary staffing levels to maintain the coverage and consistency needed for these clinics.
The Amendment attached for your review increases the maximum compensation of the original agreement, and adds staffing services and wage billing rates for the COVID vaccination clinic temporary staff provided. I have also attached the original Agreement for review.
Management Connections is incurring additional costs due to the temporary staff supplied to the vaccination clinics being classified as Institutional Employees under the required Workers Compensation Insurance coverage, explaining the variance of wage billing rates for vaccination clinic staffing versus clerical staffing. At the time of this request Management Connections is providing 7-10 staff members for each clinic.
The additional cost of this staffing agreement amendment will be requested to be paid from disaster fund 110-1920.
How long has Agreement been in place? Agreement in place as of 1/15/2021, and have had previous short term agreements for supplemental staffing in previous years
When was purchase last rebid? This is the first time this agreements max dollar amount exceeded Department Head signing authority
Reason for request to waive bid? Department has existing Agreement, and necessary vaccination clinic staffing is in place through this Agreement
Recommended Action
(a) 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 (b) Approve the First Amendment to the Agreement between the County of Lake and Management Connections for Temporary Staffing Support Services completed during Fiscal Year 2020-21 for a sum not to exceed $150,000 and authorize the Board Chair to sign the Amendment

Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
Construction of the new Clayton Creek Bridge began last year. A water main within the limits of the project was required to be relocated to accommodate the project. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funding requirements dictate that a utility agreement be developed between the local agency and the utility company that addresses such issues as future maintenance responsibilities. Attached for the Boards review and approval is the agreement with Lower Lake County Waterworks District No. 1 to relocate said water main.
The project is fully funded from the Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) and Toll Credits. The scope of the project is the replacement of the Clayton Creek Road Bridge over Clayton Creek near Lower Lake, CA.
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the utility agreement between the County of Lake and the Lower Lake County Water Works Dist. No. 1 and authorize the Chair to execute the Agreement and execute the attached agreement.

6.39:45 A.M. - PUBLIC HEARING - VacatIon of a Roadway known as Arabian Lane (CR#148D) in the Hidden Valley Lake Area
Public Hearing
Adopted, as amended — Pass
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
A Resolution of Intent to vacate a roadway known as Arabian Lane was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on February 23, 2021, establishing today's hearing. All required notices were posted and mailed.
Mr. Ken Porter, owner of Valley Oaks Land and Development, Inc., in the Hidden Valley Lake area, requested that the Board of Supervisors (Board) sell a portion of public land known as "Arabian Lane (C.R.#148D)", which provides access to and from State Highway 29 to only his property. Your Board considered his request in May of 2019 and approved Resolution 19-76 which declared the property surplus and your intention to convey the parcel to him. Staff has recently discovered that due to the State relinquishing the property to the County for the purposes of a highway, that we must also vacate the roadway prior to completing the sales agreement. . The roadway to be vacated is approximately 400 feet in length and extends from the intersection with State Highway 29 to its terminus at a cul-de-sac. The roadway is shown on the attached map as Exhibit A.
Arabian Lane was relinquished to the County for use as a county highway by the State Division of Highways in January of 1969. Arabian Lane is shown on the county-maintained road list. The proposed vacation will not 'landlock' any parcel since any private access easements will remain in place as will any public or private utility easements.
On November 5, 2020, the Planning Commission heard the request for the vacation and found it to be in conformance with the Lake County General Plan. During this public hearing there was no public opposition to the proposed vacation.
Attached is a map showing Arabian Lane, to be vacated in its entirety, marked as "Exhibit A", describing the vacated roadway.
If the Board finds, from all evidence presented by interested persons, that Arabian Lane (C.R.148D), in its entirety, being described in Exhibit "A" is unnecessary for present of prospective public use then the Board may adopt the Resolution of Vacation.
Recommended Action

Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
(a) On June 19, 2018, your Board passed Resolution 2018-75 declaring your intention to establish the Lake County Tourism Improvement District (LCTID). The LCTID Board, comprised of lodging business owners, a representative from the County of Lake, the City of Clearlake and the City of Lakeport as well as other tourism representatives was seated on November 7, 2018. The official manager of the LCTID is Visit Lake County California (VLCC), a 501(c)3 organization which acts as the Owners' Association for the LCTID. During your March 23, 2021 agenda, the LCTID will report to your Board on its activities over the past year.
(b) With the establishment of the LCTID and its own revenue stream, County staff are no longer engaged in tourism marketing directly and funds previously used for direct services are now provided to the LCTID for marketing and destination tourism activities, which promote the local economy.
This agreement is coming to your Board later in FY 2020-21 due to the pandemic and transition of staffing.
Staff respectfully requests your approval of the attached Agreement which authorizes the County of Lake to provide funds for the purpose of marketing Lake County. Historically, the funds for these services have been directed to multiple vendors. With the creation of the LCTID the funds can now be directed to one vendor (Visit Lake County California) which will be responsible for promoting Lake County as a tourist, meeting and event destination.
Recommended Action
(a) Consideration of report from LCTID
(b) Approve Agreement between the County of Lake and Visit Lake County California for the Provision of Administrative Services in the amount of $78,000 from March 2, 2021 to June 30, 2021, and authorize the Chair to sign.
