Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The Kelseyville Motel is currently under contract with County of Lake to provide a block of rooms available for residents who are subject to quarantine and/or isolation orders due to COVID-19 and do not have a safe place to shelter. The original Agreement was for a 5-room block with a rate of $83.00 per night plus tax, paid whether occupied or not.
The first amendment to the Agreement extended the term of the Agreement by four (4) additional months, and proportionately increased the maximum amount payable under the agreement.
The second amendment extended the term until June 30, 2021; or the period of exigent or emergency circumstances as may be established by local, state or federal proclamation, whichever is shorter. Additionally the second amendment increased the maximum amount payable under the agreement to $150,000.
The third Amendment decreased the contracted block of rooms from five down to two whether occupied or not, with an option to rent additional rooms at the same rate if needed. This decrease was requested because the room block was being underutilized at that time, due to Lake County COVID-19 cases decreasing, and COVID-19 vaccinations becoming readily available to our community.
The fourth Amendment extended the term of the Agreement through October 31, 2021, and raised the maximum compensation of the agreement to ensure sufficient funding. With the COVID-19 Delta variant being confirmed in our community and, an active projected 2021 fire season, the Amendment was requested to ensure that Lake County residents who may have been subjected to COVID-19 quarantine and/or isolation orders had a safe place to do so in the event of evacuations.
The fifth Amendment extend the term of the Agreement through December 31, 2021; or the period of exigent or emergency circumstances as may be established by local, state or federal proclamation, whichever is shorter. Sufficient compensation remained to ensure funding through that extended term.
This sixth Amendment extends the term through March 31, 2022, and raises the maximum compensation to ensure funding through this term for the contracted two room block, and funding for additional rooms if needed. The funding for the additional rooms has been allocated in preparation of a possible COVID-19 case surge due to the Omicron variant and the upcoming colder temperatures. These additional rooms are only utilized when our two room block is occupied, and are billed per day of occupancy. Despite our County's COVID positivity rates declining this two room block is still consistently being utilized to provide a safe place for qualifying residents to quarantine and/or isolate. Health Services requests your Board's approval to continue this agreement through this three month extended term.
This Agreement with Kelseyville Motel and all Amendments associated are funded through COVID-19 grants from the State of California Department of Public Health.

5.4Approve Closure of the Library to the public from Tuesday, December 21, 2021 through Saturday, December 25, 2021 to observe the County Holiday
Report
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
I am requesting your approval to close the library to the public from Tuesday, December 21, 2021 through Saturday, December 25, 2021 to observe the County holiday of Winter Holiday, which this year is from Thursday, December 23 to Wednesday, December 29.
Lake County Library is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday and is always closed on Monday. The current practice for the library is that when there is a County holiday on a Monday, the library observes that holiday and is closed to the public the Saturday preceding the holiday.
This practice was approved by the Board of Supervisors on the December 12, 2009 consent agenda.
With your approval the library will always follow the same logic in the case of the Winter Holiday. So for the library Winter Holiday would always be the Tuesday - Saturday of the week December 25 falls on, if December 25 falls on a Tuesday - Saturday. If December 25 falls on a Sunday or Monday it would be the 23 through 29 of December.
This is consistent with the County's declared holiday in the Memorandum of Understanding by and between the Lake county Employees Association, shifted for the library's Tuesday through Saturday schedule.
Recommended Action
Approve closure of library from Tuesday, December 21 through Saturday, December 25 to observe the County holiday of Winter Holiday

5.5Approve Amendment Four to Agreement between the County of Lake and Quincy Engineering, Inc. for Final Design and Right-of-Way Services for the South Main Street and Soda Bay Road Corridor Improvement Project in Lake County, California, for an increase of $412,458.53 to the Contract Amount.
Agreement
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
On February 24, 2015, the Department of Public Works entered into an Agreement with Quincy Engineering, Inc. for Final Design and Right-of-Way Services for the South Main Street and Soda Bay Road Corridor Improvement Project in Lake County, CA. The Agreement was modified by Amendment One on July 7, 2015 to allow for staff substitution and sub-consultant cost reduction, by Amendment Two on September 26, 2017 to allow for budget re-allocation and task re-assignment, and by Amendment Three on August 14, 2018 to update a number of appraisals and waiver valuations too dated to satisfy the State and Federal right of way acquisition requirements.
Amendment Four will address changing the location of underground trenches to account for development that has occurred since initial trench design as well as account for future development; modify driveways, addressing circulation issues; and meeting with property owners to explain specific design features and evaluate alternatives to address their concerns.
This amendment will provide for the additional effort required for various tasks. Caltrans has concurred with this amendment and associated costs are eligible for reimbursement. As a result of this amendment, the contract amount will be increased by a net amount of $412,458.53.
Funding for the project comes from a variety of sources to include the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), Federal Demonstration Program, Lake Area Planning Council Local Transportation Funds, County of Lake road funds, and utility company tariffs and contributions. There is currently enough funding to complete design, right-of-way and undergrounding for the complete corridor, and construct the South Main Street segment beginning at approximately the Lakeport city limits and ending at the intersection with Soda Bay Road and State Highway 175.
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve Amendment Four to the Agreement for Final Design and Right-of-Way Services for the South Main Street and Soda Bay Road Corridor Improvement Project in Lake County, CA, with Quincy Engineering, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $2,895,513.31 (an increase of $412,458.53) and authorize the Chairman to execute said Amendment.

Staff memo
Executive Summary
As your Board is aware, Census data is collected every ten years, and in the year following, Counties are responsible to undertake "Redistricting," to ensure Supervisorial Districts are essentially equivalent, in terms of population.
Pursuant to California Elections Code Section 21507.1, held a series of four Public Hearings. During your Tuesday, November 30 hearing, you approved boundary adjustments as previously discussed during your November 2 hearing, and published as "Option 6" here:
http://gispublic.co.lake.ca.us/portal/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=ee10c2cbd3c44cdabaeb03ff0c142ea3
You Board likewise directed staff, in consultation with County Counsel and Prentice Long, the County's contractor for Redistricting Consulting Services, to prepare a Resolution adopting the Supervisorial District boundaries. That Resolution is attached here, for your consideration. As you will recall, final Supervisorial District Boundaries must be adopted no later than December 15, 2021, so staff strongly recommends your Board Adopt the Resolution today.
Further, because Supervisorial District boundaries prepared in response to 2010 Census data were adopted by Ordinance, part b) of this item introduces an Ordinance rescinding the section of the Lake County Code where those boundaries are described.
For your reference, California Elections Code section 21500, (a), notes the following:
(a) Following a county's decision to elect its board using district-based elections, or following each federal decennial census for a county whose board is already elected using district-based elections, the board shall, by ordinance OR resolution, adopt boundaries for all of the supervisorial districts of the county so that the supervisorial districts shall be substantially equal in population as required by the United States Constitution.
Staff recommends your Board take the following actions:
1) Adopt the Resolution; and
2) Motion to offer the Ordinance and have it read in title only
3) Motion to advance the second reading of the Ordinance to the following meeting
Recommended Action
(a) Adopt the Resolution Adopting Supervisorial District Boundaries for the County of Lake, Pursuant to Sections 21500 Et. Seq. of the California Elections Code.

Report
Staff memo
I'd like to present the 2020 Crop Report. Overall, the gross value of agriculture production in Lake County was $75,471,368. This is a decrease of 30% from 2019. The overall gross value of agriculture hasn't been at this level since 2011. Market forces have negatively impacted the winegrape, walnut and timber industries significantly. The continuing drought impacted the field crops and cattle industries.
The top six commodities were as follows:
* Wine Grapes- $52,509,710
* Pears- $16,626,482
* Miscellaneous Livestock- $1,319,500
* Cattle and Calves- $1,234,000

Staff memo
Executive Summary
In 2015, your Board became aware of the fact that Robinson Rancheria had erected a gate on Foothills Oak Drive in Upper Lake. The portion of the roadway at issue was accepted by the County as a public roadway, but not accepted for maintenance purposes.
During a regularly-scheduled meeting of your Board on December 15, 2015, you considered and approved the issuance of a letter to the Tribal Council of the Robinson Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians. In that letter, (a copy of which is attached here) your Board acknowledged the concerns of the Tribal Council which led to the construction of this gate, but also noted the concerns of area property owners that their ability to travel on a public roadway not be obstructed. The Board further indicated the intention of the County to initiate a dialogue with the Tribal Council with the goal of reaching a satisfactory resolution for all involved, but, in the meantime, the gate must be left open.
On May 11, 2021, your Board approved allowing the existing gate to remain with the condition that the gate be upgraded to an automated gate with clicker openers and have a six month review by your Board and have a trigger for if permits are pulled for development. This matter is now before you Board for that 6-month review. It is our understanding that no progress has been made in upgrading the gate.
Streets and Highways Code section 966 is of particular importance in the course of your discussion:
(a) The board of supervisors may provide for the erection and maintenance of gates on the county highways to avoid the necessity of building highway fences. The board may prescribe rules and regulations for closing such gates, and penalties for violating such rules and regulations.
(b) The person, for whose immediate benefit the gates are erected or maintained, shall in all cases bear the expense of such erection and maintenance.

Executive Summary
Last month, the Potter Valley Project (PVP) ad hoc committee became aware of the Sonoma County Water Agency's (SCWA) application to the Urban and Mutlibenefit Drought Relief Program. It is our understanding that these funds would be used in support of SCWA's activities surrounding the Potter Valley Project. Recently, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) denied a request for an extension in the license transfer proceedings by SCWA and its partners.
Since Lake County has consistently been excluded from planning efforts surrounding the Potter Valley Project, and specifically the potential removal of Scott Dam and destruction of Lake Pillsbury, it is concerning that the State of California would provide further financial support to parties attempting to operate in Lake County in a non-collaborative manner.
A letter originating from the PVP committee opposing the SCWA grant application is now before your Board for its consideration.
