Elliott-High Eagle authored Native American Awareness Week legislation the first historical week of recognition in the nation for native peoples. This led to 1986 with then President Ronald Reagan proclaiming November 23-30, 1986, as "American Indian Week". President Barack Obama made a Presidential Proclamation on the 31st of October of each year that each respective November would be National Native American Heritage Month. We celebrate the richness of the County's unique Tribal history and traditions and the impact Native American cultures have had on every American; and WHEREAS, Lake County is committed to protecting the Sovereign right of Native American Tribal organizations and institutions to strengthen their own communities In observance of Native American month, the County of Lake encourages all citizens to join in recognizing the accomplishments and contributions Native Americans have made to our County, and salutes those who have sought to honor the important role of Tribal leadership in our County's past, present and future.

Memorandum Date: November 16, 2021 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Todd Metcalf, MPA, Behavioral Health Services Director Subject: Approve Agreement between the County of Lake - Lake County Behavioral Health Services as Lead Agency for the Lake County Continuum of Care and Adventist Health Clear Lake for Fiscal Year 2021-24 for a contract maximum of $350,000.00 and authorize the Board Chair to sign the Agreement. Executive Summary: Lake County Behavioral Health Services (LCBHS), through a community driven stakeholder process, created a Mental Health Services Act Innovations Project in 2016 that developed an online interactive portal which facilitated successful referrals and increased interagency collaboration. This platform provided for secure communication and care coordination between all agencies involved in a consumer's wellness and recovery plan. Following a phase one pilot project of a closed looped referral system, phase two, the development of consumer-driven coordinated care system, ultimately led to selecting the Pathways HUB design which utilizes software to link community agencies together through a central "HUB" to coordinate referrals and coordinate care. The Whole Person Care Grant that LCBHS was awarded is continuing to fund the project. Simultaneously, the Lake County Continuum of Care (LCCoC), for whom LCBHS is the Administrative Entity, has been in the process of developing a Coordinated Entry System (CES). A CES connects people experiencing homelessness to housing programs, prioritizing those who are most in need of assistance and provides crucial information that helps the LCCoC strategically allocate resources and identify gaps in service. Referrals go through a central link to services. As both of these processes involve a centralized point to link people in need to services, it was decided to combine resources of the LCCoC and LCBHS' Whole Person Care Grant and pair these together. A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued earlier this year for a centralized HUB/CES Operator, who would utilize existing software and coordinate referrals and care. Through a formal bidding and selection process, which involved the LCCoC's Grant Selection Committee and the Pathways HUB Core Committee, Adventist Health Clearlake was selected. This project compliments a project they are already working on in Enhanced Case Management.

Memorandum Date: November 16, 2021 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Todd Metcalf, MPA, Behavioral Health Services Subject: Approve Agreement between the County of Lake - Lake County Behavioral Health Services as Lead Agency for the Lake County Continuum of Care and Adventist Health Clear Lake Hospital, Inc. for a contract maximum of $343,000.00 for Fiscal Year 2021-22 and Authorize the Board Chair to sign the Agreement. Executive Summary: The Lake County Continuum of Care (LCCoC) has received an Emergency Solutions Grant - Coronavirus Allocation (ESG-CV), funded through the CARES Act. Funds are meant to prevent, prepare for, and respond to individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness or receiving homeless assistance, in Lake County, during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The LCCoC had originally contracted out most of Round 1 funds to local entities to address sheltering those who are homeless, also providing for Rapid Rehousing. For Round 2, the LCCoC had decided that an additional $93,000 would go towards Emergency Shelter and an additional $250,000 would go towards Rapid Rehousing. The latter was made up of $100,000 from Round 2 and an unawarded $150,000 from Round 1. Lake County Behavioral Health Services (LCBHS), acting as the Administrative Entity for the LCCoC, issued a Request for Proposals for these amounts and programmatic needs earlier this year. As a result of that RFP, LCBHS received one proposal, that was made up of a number of providers coming together to partner in the use of these funds. Adventist Health Clearlake would act as the fiduciary representative with the Restoration House, Elijah House and Hope Rising (through Hope Center) providing the services. Services to be provided include continued shelter operations and Rapid Rehousing activities including short-term rental assistance, housing stabilization, landlord incentives, pay for client's down payment, pay for rental application fees, cost of moving, and housing rent vouchers for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. LCCoC's Grants Selection Committee reviewed the proposal and interviewed the applicants and determined the proposal would be of beneficial use for the community as the proposal described. The Grants Selection Committee recommended the proposal to the LCCoC Executive Board, who agreed to accept and fund the proposal. LCBHS, as the Administrative Entity, as created the attached contract for these purposes. ESG-CV is a "pay as a you go" type of grant, of which LCBHS will continue to work with the California Department of Housing and Community Development to draw down the funds to pay the contractor. Ongoing monitoring of the contract will be conducted by the LCCoC's Performance Review Committee.

Executive Summary: The Department, in coordination with Central Garage, solicited quotes on a 1/2 ton, 4x4, regular cab pick-up for the replacement of SD12X (a Ford Ranger used as transportation for our Utility Area Superintendent). * Elk Grove Auto (State Contract #1-18-23-20B) No quote available at this time. * Matt Mazzei (State Contract #1-18-23-20B) No quote available at this time. * Downtown Ford (State Contract #1-18-23-20A) $31,587.35.

A State Contract is issued to the low bidders and the results are published and distributed to local agencies. Local agencies are given the opportunity to purchase these vehicles through the state at the same cost as the state. Due to the lack of inventory, we only receive one quote for each truck. By approving this purchase, your Board concludes that this purchase is being made in accordance with ordinance 3109 and Section 38.4 Cooperative Purchases of Chapter 2 of the Lake County Code, which allows the County to "piggyback" on their agencies competitively awarded contracts.

Policies and practices of the United States and earlier colonial governments deprived Indigenous People in the State of California and Lake County, specifically, of land-holdings, liberty, even life, itself; and WHEREAS, Native Americans have helped to make our community stronger and more prosperous On August 3, 1990, President of the United States George H. W. Bush declared the month of November as National American Indian Heritage Month, thereafter commonly referred to as Native American Heritage Month. The bill read in part that "the President has authorized and requested to call upon Federal, State and local Governments, groups and organizations and the people of the United States to observe such month with appropriate programs, ceremonies and activities; and WHEREAS, this landmark bill honoring America's tribal people represented a major step in the establishment of this celebration which began in 1976 when a Cherokee/Osage Indian named Jerry C. Elliott-High Eagle authored Native American Awareness Week legislation the first historical week of recognition in the nation for native peoples. This led to 1986 with then President Ronald Reagan proclaiming November 23-30, 1986, as "American Indian Week". President Barack Obama made a Presidential Proclamation on the 31st of October of each year that each respective November would be National Native American Heritage Month. We celebrate the richness of the County's unique Tribal history and traditions and the impact Native American cultures have had on every American; and WHEREAS, Lake County is committed to protecting the Sovereign right of Native American Tribal organizations and institutions to strengthen their own communities In observance of Native American month, the County of Lake encourages all citizens to join in recognizing the accomplishments and contributions Native Americans have made to our County, and salutes those who have sought to honor the important role of Tribal leadership in our County's past, present and future.

Memorandum Date: November 16, 2021 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Carol J. Huchingson, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors Brian L. Martin, Lake County Office of Emergency Services Director Subject: Consideration of a Presentation by United Way of the Wine Country Regarding Possible Expansion of 2-1-1 Lake County from Disaster-Only to Full Service Executive Summary: As your Board is aware, when fully implemented, 2-1-1 is a comprehensive information and referral service that strives to help community members access the best local resources and services to address any need. 2-1-1 services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with information accessible in 150 languages through phone interpretation services. During times of disaster, 2-1-1 can provide incident-specific information in coordination with local emergency services, including road closures and shelters, both locally and nationwide. Presently, Lake County has disaster-only 2-1-1 service, provided by Interface Children and Family Services of Ventura County. To date, this service has been fully State funded (SB1212), and this limited partnership has enabled Lake County to develop service databases that can be built on with full 2-1-1 implementation: https://211lake.org/ You will also be aware, United Way of the Wine Country (UWWC) serves families and individuals living and working in Sonoma, Mendocino, Lake, Humboldt and Del Norte counties. They are deeply committed to improving family financial stability by serving as a vital link between residents, nonprofit organizations, businesses and government leaders. UWWC is the operator of 2-1-1 Sonoma and 2-1-1 Mendocino and a funder of 2-1-1 Humboldt. They partner with Interface Children and Family Services for operation of 2-1-1 Sonoma and Mendocino's call center services. Since 2005, Interface, the call center provider, has overseen 2-1-1 calls for Ventura and 21 other counties in California. Interface's expertise and technology have brought Sonoma County callers two-way texting capabilities and an immediate capacity to scale up call center resources in the event of an emergency-all at a lower cost-per-call than the previous service due to Interface's size, digital capacity, and singular focus. UWWC's goal is to have a full service 2-1-1 in each of the five counties in its service area, and they are currently exploring the possibility of supporting the expansion of 2-1-1 Lake County from disaster only to full service. Staff conceptually agrees full 2-1-1 implementation could importantly augment existing public information services. Today's presentation from UWWC is informational, only, but your Board may wish to provide direction to staff to continue work toward implementation. If not budgeted, fill in the blanks below only: Estimated Cost: ________ Amount Budgeted: ________ Additional Requested: ________ Future Annual Cost: ________ Consistency with Vision 2028 (check all that apply): ☐ Not applicable ☒ Well-being of Residents ☒ Public Safety ☒ Disaster Prevention, Preparedness, Recovery ☐ Economic Development ☐ Infrastructure ☐ County Workforce ☒ Community Collaboration ☒ Business Process Efficiency ☐ Clear Lake Recommended Action: Informational report only, today. Consider Direction to Staff to continue work toward implementation of full 2-1-1 services, in partnership with United Way of the Wine Country.

BACKGROUND The appellant is appealing the Planning Commission's July 22, 2021 unanimous approval of a Major Use Permit (UP 21-10) to permit a commercial cannabis cultivation use permit and mitigated negative declaration of the following uses located at 11650 High Valley Rd., Clearlake Oaks, CA 95423, APN 006-004-07: * (80) A-Type 3 "outdoor" licenses totaling 3,484,800 sq. ft. (80 acres) of outdoor commercial cannabis cultivation * (1) A-Type 4 "nursery" license for 217,800 sq. ft. (5 acres) * (1) Type 11 "distribution" license to transport cannabis goods * The construction of 11 buildings for drying and storage totaling 111,000 ft2, including one refrigeration building * The use of an existing 13,000 sf conference center for packing, distribution (shipping and receiving), and other ancillary uses such as office space. The appellants are also appealing a Zoning Administrator decision to approve an Early Activation Permit granted on June 7, 2021 for (80) A-Type 3 "outdoor" licenses totaling 3,484,800 sq. ft. (80 acres) of outdoor commercial cannabis cultivation. However, as provided by the Zoning Ordinance Section 21-58.10, an appeal of an EA permit would be filed with the Planning Commission, and the appeal period in which to do so is 7 days from the decision granting the permit. As the date of issuance was June 7, 2021, the appeal period for the EA permit has passed. The EA permit is not the subject of this appeal. The approximately 649 acre project site is located on High Valley Road in Clearlake Oaks. The appellants, neighboring property owners Don and Margie Van Pelt, filed this appeal citing various deficiencies in the Planning Commission's decision. A Major Use Permit is required for this project pursuant to compliance with the General Plan, the Shoreline Community Area Plan, and Articles 7, 27(at), and 51.4 of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance.

Article 51.4, Major Use Permits, Findings Required for Approval The Board of Supervisors may approve or deny this 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. The Planning Commission's decision was based on its making the following required findings: 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: Commercial Cannabis Cultivation Operation is a permitted use in the "RL" Rural Lands Zoning District as well as the "A" Agricultural district upon issuance of a Major Use Permit pursuant to Article 27 of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance. Prior to the applicant constructing any type of structure(s), the applicant shall obtain the necessary permits from the appropriate Federal, State and/or Local government agencies. The environmental analysis (EXHIBIT 9 - INITIAL STUDY) determined that the use would not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood as all potential impacts have been reduced to less than significant with the incorporated mitigation measures and Conditions of Approval. Potential impacts identified relate to air quality, biological resources, cultural/tribal/ geologic resources, noise and wildfire. Additionally, the Community Development Department would conduct Annual Compliance Monitoring Inspections during the cultivation season to ensure compliance with the approved Property Management Plan and Conditions of Approval, as discussed in detail in the planning commission report dated July 22nd 2021. 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 canopy area is 3,484,800 ft2; this area represents 4.9% of the 1639.96-acre site. The project complies with the 20 acres of land to 1 acre of canopy stipulation. Additionally, the project conforms with the Clustering requirements of Article 27, section (at), sub-section (j). A deed restriction on each parcel will be required if the permit SourzHVR Inc- UP 21-10 is approved. 3. That the streets, highways and pedestrian facilities are reasonably adequate to safely accommodate the specific proposed use. Response: The project takes access via High Valley Ranch Road to a private drive. The access driveway and interior private drives would be improved to meet all applicable safety standard including Cal Fire and Caltrans as shown on the project site plans. 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: This application was routed to all of the affected public and private service providers including Public Works, Special Districts, Environmental Health, and PG&E, and to all area Tribes. Relevant comments may be found in EXHIBIT 2 - 7.8.21 STAFF REPORT, PC MINUTES, AGENCY AND PUBLIC COMMENTARY. No comments were received that would affect a substantial adverse impact determination. There are adequate public services to accommodate the project. During the request for review period of the Initial Study, as part of the CEQA State Clearinghouse public participation process, a letter was received by a neighboring parcel raising concern in regards to odor, security, and water usage. The letter has been provided in EXHIBIT 2 - 7.8.21 STAFF REPORT, PC MINUTES, AGENCY AND PUBLIC COMMENTARY. A water availability plan and the identification/location of Well #4 as the supplier of this project in the Site Plans and Property Management Plan has been provided by the applicant. The security and odor concerns have been addressed with mitigation measures and conditions of approval. During the request for review period of the Initial Study, comment was also received from the Department of Toxic Substances, and the California Highway Patrol (EXHIBIT 2 - 7.8.21 STAFF REPORT, PC MINUTES, AGENCY AND PUBLIC COMMENTARY). The concerns of the Department of Toxic Substances have been addressed and mitigated in the Initial Study under section III. Air Quality. The concern regarding an increase in traffic collisions has been discussed in the Initial Study under section XVII. Transportation, and found to be less than significant (EXHIBIT 9 - INITIAL STUDY). An expanded Traffic Study was requested of the applicant after the July 8th Planning Commission and was provided for the Commissioners' review prior to the July 22nd hearing (EXHIBIT 11- TRAFFIC MEMORANDUM). 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: Since commercial cannabis cultivation is named as a permitted use in the Rural Lands zoning district within the Commercial Cannabis ordinance, this proposal is consistent with the governing ordinance for cannabis cultivation in Lake County. The proposal, as conditioned, meets all requirements and development standards of the Zoning Ordinance. The General Plan and the Shoreline Community Area Plan do not have any provisions for commercial cannabis, but both plans do have provisions for economic development and related policies that the project is consistent with (Please refer to the Staff Report from 7.8.21, section VI Project Analysis). 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: Violations of the County of Lake and the CDFW regulations were remediated as of July 20th, 2021. Please refer to EXHIBIT 18 - VIOLATIONS AND REMEDIATION and EXHIBIT 18 CDFW LSA for full details on violation remediation. The Community Development Department has no record of current violations of Chapters 5, 17, 21, 23 or 26 of the Lake County Code for this property. Article 27, sub. (at); Three Required Findings for Commercial Cannabis Approval In addition to the findings required 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 Planning Commission found that the project was in compliance with all applicable standards and criteria, or could be brought to full compliance with conditions of approval (Please refer to the Staff Report from 7.8.21, section IX Approval Criteria). 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: The application was determined to be complete and in compliance with the requirements set out in Article 27, Section 1.ii.(i) are met. IV. CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors: Deny the Appeal (AB 21-04); uphold the Planning Commission's decision to approve the Use Permit (UP 21-10) and adopt Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS 21-10). If not budgeted, fill in the blanks below only: Estimated Cost: ________ Amount Budgeted: ________ Additional Requested: ________ Future Annual Cost: ________ Consistency with Vision 2028 (check all that apply): ☐ Not applicable ☐ Well-being of Residents ☐ Public Safety ☐ Disaster Prevention, Preparedness, Recovery ☒ Economic Development ☐ Infrastructure ☐ County Workforce ☐ Community Collaboration ☐ Business Process Efficiency ☐ Clear Lake Recommended Action: Sample Motions: Appeal Denial I move that the Board of Supervisors make an intended decision to deny the Appeal AB 21-04. Initial Study (IS 21-10) I move that the Board of Supervisors find that the Major Use Permit (UP 21-10) applied for by SourzHVR Inc on a property located at 11650 High Valley Rd. Clearlake Oaks, CA, further described as APN: 006-004-06; 006-004-07; 006-004-25; 006-002-04; 006-009-36; 006-004-24; 006-002-09 will not have a significant effect on the environment and therefore a mitigated negative declaration shall be adopted with the findings for approval listed in the Planning Commission staff report dated July 22, 2021. Use Permit Approval I move that the Board of Supervisors find that the Major Use Permit (UP 21-10) applied for by SourzHVR Inc on a property located at 11650 High Valley Rd. Clearlake Oaks, CA, further described as APN: 006-004-06; 006-004-07; 006-004-25; 006-002-04; 006-009-36; 006-004-24; 006-002-09 does meet the requirements of Sections 27(at) and 51.4 of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance and that the Board of Supervisors has reviewed and considered the Mitigated Negative Declaration which was adopted for this project and the Use Permit be granted subject to the conditions and with the findings listed in the Planning Commission staff report dated July 22, 2021.

Memorandum Date: November 16, 2021 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Bruno Sabatier, Chair of the Lake County Board of Supervisors Subject: Consideration of a Letter of Opposition to A.21-09-008, Which Would Be Expected to Result in an Effective 4.9% Rate Increase for Most PG&E Residential Customers Executive Summary: As you are aware, portions of our county have been subject to repeated PSPS Events, and the uncertainty presented by PG&E's Wildfire Safety Program has made it more difficult for businesses and even local residents to invest in Lake County. A.21-09-008, the Pacific Gas & Electric Company's Application for "Recovery of Recorded Expenditures Related to Wildfire Mitigation, Catastrophic Events, and Other Recorded Costs," would be expected to result in a 4.9% rate increase for most residential customers. We all appreciate PG&E has incurred increased costs, of late, as a result of their enhanced wildfire mitigation activities, as well as the import and complexity of balancing wildfire risk and energy availability and affordability. However, the magnitude and immediacy of PG&E's costs are informed by decisions made by PG&E over a long period of time, and Lake County residents and other Californians are already disproportionately assuming costs and uncertainty associated with environmental effects of global climate change. I recommend our Board collectively Approve and sign the attached Letter of Opposition to A.21-09-008, and authorize the County Administrative Officer, or her designee, to route the Letter to President Batjer and the California Public Utilities Commission. This letter provides an overview of issues for the Commission's consideration. Additionally, I want to emphasize any individual can submit comments in this proceeding, and have attached a Letter I will be submitting at https://apps.cpuc.ca.gov/c/A2109008. We can all make a difference by letting the Commissioners know our experiences, and the costs and inconveniences we have had to assume as a result of PG&E's decreased energy reliability in recent years.
