Memorandum Date: December 21, 2021 To: The Honorable Bruno Sabatier, Chairman, Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Brian L. Martin, Sheriff/Coroner/OES Director Subject: Approve the Continuation of a Proclamation of Emergency Declaration for Drought Conditions Executive Summary: Pursuant to Chapter 6, Article 1 of the Lake County Code empowers the Director of Emergency Services to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a local emergency when Lake County is affected by, or likely to be affected by a public calamity and the Board of Supervisors is not in session. During the existence of this local emergency, the powers, functions and duties of the Director of Emergency Services and the emergency organization of the County shall be those prescribed by state law, and by ordinance and resolutions of this County, approved by the Board of Supervisors, and by the Lake Operational Area Emergency Operations Plan, as approved by the Board of Supervisors. On April 21, 2021, the Governor of the State of California proclaimed a State of Emergency for the Counties of Sonoma and Mendocino due to extremely low reservoir levels and drought conditions. Inasmuch, Lake County water table levels are at significantly to critically low levels and are being continuously monitored. Based upon low water levels, the County may have to consider measures to address the water shortages. These measures may include taking steps to conserve water by practicing water conservation efforts, including, but not limited to repairing leaking plumbing, limiting non-essential watering, limiting car washing, filling bathtubs halfway or less, using high-efficient appliances, reducing shower times, only washing full loads of laundry, turning off water when brushing teeth or shaving, planting drought resistant landscaping and implementing other practices that reduce water consumption. Short or long-term solutions are costly; however, the County may be eligible for State or Federal assistance should the need arise to address drought issues if conditions persist. Therefore, the declaration of an emergency will allow the County to qualify for funding that has been specifically set aside for drought relief purposes. Programs within the State focus on ground water management, conservation and recapture/recycle initiatives. By declaring a local emergency, the County is taking a pro-active approach to address drought related disaster issues. In addition, with the adoption of a proclamation declaring a state of local emergency, State law requires the Board of Supervisors to review the status of the emergency at least once every 30 days.

Memorandum Date: December 21, 2021 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Mary Darby, Community Development Director Sateur Ham, Assistant Planner Subject: Greg Hanson General Plan Amendment (GPAP 20-02), Rezone; (RZ 20-02), Initial Study (IS 20-91) Exhibits: 1. Vicinity Map 2. Planning Commission Staff Report, May 27, 2021 3. Planning Commission Hearing Minutes, May 27, 2021 4. Exhibit "A" Rezone Map 5. Draft Rezone (RZ) Resolution 6. Exhibit "A" General Plan Amendment Map 7. General Plan Amendment (GPAP) Resolution 8. Initial Study, IS 20-91 Executive Summary: The applicant/owner Greg Hanson is requesting a Rezone from "A" Agricultural" to "M2" Heavy Industrial, and a General Plan Amendment from "Agricultural" to "Industrial" of approximately �7 acres of undeveloped land located at 3555 and 3445 Big Valley Road, Kelseyville, CA 95451; known as the Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs): 008-038-17 and 008-038-44. The remaining portion of the project parcel will remain with the Land Use Designation of Agriculture and the existing agricultural use will remain undisturbed. The project parcels are/will be accessed from existing unimproved roadways off of Big Valley Road, a County maintained roadway. The applicant shall obtain all necessary permits from the Lake County Department of Public Works for any work and/or improvements within the right-of-way. The portions of the parcels to be rezoned are vacant and will not be developed at this time. When the applicant develops the subject parcel in the near feasible future, they will obtain all necessary Federal, State, and local agency permits, including additional environmental analysis if necessary. 05/27/2021 Planning Commission Actions A public hearing was held before the Lake County Planning Commission on May 27, 2021, regarding the proposed project. During the hearing, there was one inquiry regarding increased traffic for future development, what type of development will occur, and converting �7 acres of non-usable agricultural lands to commercial. The representative Brian Hanson addressed these concerns by explaining due to the Community Growth Boundary and current restrictions, using the �7 acres of land for agricultural purposes is challenging and not feasible. Therefore, the applicant is requesting the General Plan Amendment and Rezone to expand the commercial corridor within the Kelseyville corridor. By allowing this expansion, it would extend the corridor to Big Valley Road and be consistent with the zoning in the immediate vicinity. Mr. Hanson indicated he wants to help bring an economic use that would be beneficial to both parties and create economic growth through employment opportunities, taxes, etc., for a growing County. Mr. Hanson indicated they do intend to develop the �7 acres for commercial use and will obtain all necessary Federal, State, and local agency permits, including further environmental analysis if necessary. On May 27, 2021, the Lake County Planning Commission recommended the Board of Supervisors takes the following actions: * Approve General Plan Amendment (GPAP 20-02) * Approve Rezone (RZ 20-02) * To adopt a Negative Declaration based on environmental analysis (Initial Study, IS 20-91) per CEQA Guidelines. Existing Uses and Improvements: The two existing parcels are currently developed with single-family dwellings, agricultural uses, and supporting accessory structures. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: * North: "A"-Agricultural and are developed with vineyards, orchards, single-family residences, and supporting infrastructure. The parcel sizes range from approximately five (5) to greater than fifty (50) acres. * South: "A"-Agricultural and "PCD"-Planned Development Commercial and are developed with Kelseyville Lumber Commercial Operation, vineyards, orchards, single-family residences, and supporting infrastructure. The parcel sizes range from approximately ten (10) to greater than forty (40) acres. * East: "M2" Heavy Industrial and "A"-Agricultural and are developed with a variety of light to heavy industrial uses (rental yards, storage, etc.), vineyards, orchards, single-family residences, and supporting infrastructure. The parcel sizes range from approximately five (5) to greater than forty (40) acres. * West: "A"-Agricultural and are developed with vineyards, orchards, a small active commercial cannabis operation, single-family residences, and processing buildings. The parcel size is approximately 50 acres. General Plan Amendment Request: The applicant is requesting approval of a General Plan Amendment of APN 008-038-17 and 008-038-44 from "A" Agriculture to "I" Industrial for approximately �7 acres (an area that fronts Big Valley Road). All other areas of project parcels will remain designated as "Agriculture". Refer to the table below for details. Additionally, no current agriculture activities will be impacted and/or removed. Parcel Number Current General Plan Designation Proposed General Plan Designation 008-038-17 "A" Agricultural "I" Industrial 008-038-44 "A" Agricultural "I" Industrial Rezone Request: The applicant is requesting approval of a Rezone of �7 acres of APN 008-038-17 and 008-038- 44 from "A" Agricultural District to "M2" Heavy Industrial District (an area that fronts Big Valley Road). All other areas of project parcels will continue to have a land-use zoning designation of "A" Agricultural. Refer to the table below for details. Additionally, no current agriculture activities will be impacted and/or removed. Parcel Number Current Zoning Designation Proposed Zoning Designation 008-038-17 "A" Agricultural "M2" Heavy Industrial District 008-038-44 "A" Agricultural "M2" Heavy Industrial District Senate Bill (SB) 18 and Legal Noticing SB 18: Senate Bill 18 (Chapter 905, Statutes of 2004) requires Lake County to notify the local Tribal Organizations allowing them to request a "Tribal Consultation" when amending and/or adopting a Rezone, General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan, etc. * The County has met these requirements and staff did not receive any Tribal Consultation Request and/or adverse comments. Legal Noticing: The County has met this requirement as all legal noticing were sent to the surrounding property owners within 700 feet of the project's boundaries, including being posted in the Lake County News pursuant to Article 52 of the Zoning Ordinance. I. Project Analysis General Plan Conformance The project is located within the Kelseyville Area Plan and is designated as "Agriculture" in the Lake County General Plan. The General Plan contains policies related to "A" Agricultural and the proposed land use designation of "I" Industrial in regards to development (such as Land Use Goal 4 and its associated policies) that would apply to future development within the Industrial General Plan Designation of approximately +/- 7 undeveloped acres (along Big Valley Road). It is not specific to the requested entitlements at this time. However, the following Goals and Policies apply to the General Plan Amendment and Rezone request. Kelseyville Area Plan Conformance The need for increased local employment opportunities was among the issues discussed by the Community Planning Advisory Committee during the development of the Kelseyville Area Plan. The Committee also expressed a desire to retain Main Street as the central business district, and to discourage new commercial development in other areas of the community that would detract from the viability of the commercial center. Commercial uses such as offices, restaurants, wholesale sales, and similar uses would be appropriate in these areas. Uses that could benefit from highway visibility such as vehicle sales, factory outlets, and restaurants should be encouraged in those commercial areas adjoining Highway 29. Zoning Ordinance Conformance Currently, the project parcels [008-038-17 (approximately 2.23 acres) and 008-038-44 (approximately 38.54 acres)] are zone "A" Agricultural. The applicant seeks to rezone approximately +/-7 undeveloped acres (portions that front Big Valley Road) to "M2" Heavy Industrial to allow for future economic development that is consistent along Big Valley Road. The remaining acreage of the project parcels will remain designated as "A" Agricultural. The applicant will not be removing any existing agricultural uses. Environmental Evaluation (IS 20-91) The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires agencies to evaluate the environmental implications of land use actions. An Initial Study (IS 20-91) and Negative Declaration was prepared and circulated for public review in compliance with CEQA from December 10, 2020, through January 14, 2021. Staff did not receive any comments objecting to the project. The Initial Study was prepared and found that the Rezone and General Plan Amendment would not have any impact on the environment, as no development is proposed at this time. However, CEQA requires analysis of all reasonably foreseeable development or project components that may occur on-site in the future. Therefore, potential development of the parcels was analyzed at a general level and it was determined that future development would not have any potential impacts on the environment, as the area requesting the land use designation change (approximately �7 acres-front Big Valley Road) has been continuously and routinely maintained (tilling/disking of soil and brush/grass removal to reduce potential fire hazards) for over thirty (30) years. In addition, there is light to heavy industrial uses within the surrounding zoning designation of "M2" Heavy Industrial. II. FINDINGS REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL General Plan Amendment 1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan, and the Kelseyville Area Plan. The project is consistent with the General Plan policies, as the proposed the General Plan Amendment of approximately �7 undeveloped acres (along Big Valley Road) from "A" Agriculture to "I" Industrial would not only extend the existing "I" Industrial General Plan Designation along Big Valley Road, but it would allow and/or encourage the development of commercial centers within Community Growth Boundary, including bringing employment opportunities to residents. According to the Lake County General Plan and Kelseyville Area Plan, this is highly desired. The surrounding area is developed with various light to heavy industrial commercial uses and agricultural uses (vineyards, orchards, and supporting agricultural services). Additionally, the project parcels are centrally located and less than 1.25 miles from State Highway 29, a major corridor for economic development. To date, the County has processed one General Plan Amendment in the 2021 calendar year, making this General Plan Amendment the second this year. 2. 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. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the County, because the amendment facilitates a logical and orderly expansion of surrounding land use destinations. The proposed General Plan Amendment has been reviewed by the County surveyor, Sherriff's Department, Fire Marshal, and various local, state, and federal agencies for health and safety concerns. Staff did not receive any adverse comments regarding this project. Additionally, the project has adequate emergency service through the Lake County Sheriff's Office, California Highway Patrol, Kelseyville Fire Protection District, and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. 3. This project will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts. The Initial Study (IS 20-91) found that the Rezone and General Plan Amendment would not have any impact on the environment, as no development is proposed at this time. However, CEQA requires analysis of all reasonably foreseeable development or project components that may occur on-site in the future. Therefore, potential development of the parcels was analyzed at a general level and it was determined that future development would not have any impact on the environment, as the area requesting the land use designation change (approximately �7 acres - front Big Valley Road) has been continuously and routinely maintained for over thirty (30) years. In addition, there is light to heavy industrial uses within the surrounding zoning designation of "M2" Heavy Industrial. However, if future development occurs and depending on the intensity of the proposed use further environmental analysis may be required. Rezone Amendment: 1. That the project is in conformance with the applicable provisions and policies of this Code, the General Plan, Lake County Zoning Ordinance, and any approved zoning or land use plan. The heavy industrial uses and agricultural uses are existing and are permitted within the M2 and A zoning designations. The proposed Rezone would require a General Plan Amendment, in compliance with the Lake County Zoning Ordinance; the applicant has provided all information required in Article 47 to process the Rezone. The proposed Parcel Map is consistent with all applicable development standards in the Zoning Ordinance. In addition, all future development will have to adhere to requirements within the aforementioned plans and codes. The applicant has submitted all required information for the Rezone application. With the approval of the requested entitlements, the project is in conformance with the General Plan, Kelseyville Area Plan, or Zoning Ordinance. 2. This project will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts. The Initial Study (IS 20-91) found that the Rezone and General Plan Amendment would not have any impact on the environment, as no development is proposed at this time. However, CEQA requires analysis of all reasonably foreseeable development or project components that may occur on-site in the future. Therefore, potential development of the parcels was analyzed at a general level and it was determined that future development would not have any impact on the environment, as the area requesting the land use designation change (approximately �7 acres - front Big Valley Road) has been continuously and routinely maintained for over thirty (30) years. In addition, there is light to heavy industrial uses within the surrounding zoning designation of "M2" Heavy Industrial. However, if future development occurs and depending on the intensity of the proposed use further environmental analysis may be required. 3. 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. The proposed Rezone Amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the County, because the Rezone Amendment facilitates a logical and orderly expansion of surrounding land use destinations. The proposed Rezone Amendment has been reviewed by the County surveyor, Sherriff's Department, Fire Marshal, and various local, state, and federal agencies for health and safety concerns. Staff did not receive any adverse comments regarding this project. Additionally, the project has adequate emergency service through the Lake County Sheriff's Office, California Highway Patrol, Kelseyville Fire Protection District, and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Environmental Evaluation (CEQA Initial Study): 1. The Initial Study and Negative Declaration have been prepared in conformance with CEQA and all CEQA requirements have been adequately met for the project. An Initial Study and Negative Declaration (IS 20-91; Exhibit A) was prepared and circulated for public review and comments in compliance with CEQA from December 10, 2020, through January 14, 2021. Two public comments objecting to the project were received. All requirements of CEQA Guidelines Article 5 for preparation of an Initial Study, and Article 6 for consideration and adoption of a negative declaration, have been met. 2. This project is consistent with the Lake County General Plan, Kelseyville Area Plan, and the Lake County Zoning Ordinance. As described above in General Plan and Rezone Amendment Finding No. 1, the project is consistent with the Lake County General Plan, Kelseyville Area Plan, and the Lake County Zoning Ordinance. 3. This project is consistent with land uses in the vicinity. The project parcels, as well as parcels in the vicinity, are currently developed with single-family homes, agricultural uses, and light to heavy industrial and commercial uses consistent with the surrounding land use, including the proposed rezone and general plan amendment of approximately +/7 acres (along Big Valley Road). The Rezone Amendment and the General Plan Amendment would create economic development opportunities within the Community Growth Boundary of Kelseyville, consistent with surrounding parcels zoned "M2" Heavy Industrial along the Big Valley Road. All future development shall adhere to all local, state, and federal regulations to ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses. 4. This project will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts. The Initial Study (IS 20-91) found that the Rezone and General Plan Amendment would not have any impact on the environment, as no development is proposed at this time. However, CEQA requires analysis of all reasonably foreseeable development or project components that may occur on-site in the future. Therefore, potential development of the parcels was analyzed at a general level and it was determined that future development would not have any impact on the environment, as the area requesting the land use designation change (approximately �7 acres - front Big Valley Road) has been continuously and routinely maintained for over thirty (30) years. In addition, there is light to heavy industrial uses within the surrounding zoning designation of "M2" Heavy Industrial. However, if future development occurs and depending on the intensity of the proposed use further environmental analysis may be required. III.

Memorandum Date: December 21, 2021 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Bruno Sabatier, District 2 Supervisor Subject: Consideration of Resolution Supporting Community Development Department in Processing Commercial Cannabis Permits While Ensuring Appropriate Environmental Protection To Our Communities Executive Summary: Cannabis projects are becoming more controversial in our communities. The projects are getting closer to rural communities. The growing number of acres already approved, the drought concerns, and the proximity to communities has aided in increasing public participation in questioning these projects. The environmental impacts being reviewed are not limited to solely flora and fauna. It is also ground water sustainability analysis as well as community impacts, such as odor, increased traffic and activity. All cannabis projects submitted to the Planning Commission have undergone some level of CEQA analysis. Our Board has worked on making our process more efficient by expanding staff allocation and working with consulting agencies. However, while the main pipeline can and should be more efficiently productive, I want to ensure our director and our department's staff that the Board of Supervisors holds our environment (nature and community) as the highest of priorities to protect. The department's exercise of discretion to utilize a more stringent CEQA process (i.e. Environmental Impact Report), for those projects that may not have impacts reduced to less than significant, will be supported by the Board of Supervisors. This Resolution serves simply to memorialize this Board's support of the Department in its exercise of discretion in applying the appropriate standards under CEQA to determine the necessary level of environmental review for all projects.

Memorandum Date: December 21, 2021 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Bruno Sabatier, Chair and District 2 Supervisor Subject: Consideration of Ordinance Amending the Micro Home Kitchen Operation Ordinance Executive Summary: After more than a year of the Micro Home Kitchen Operation (MHKO), a review and ordinance update is being offered. Originally, a pilot program was create allowing for up to 10 licenses to test out how the MHKO program would work in Lake County. There was initial reluctance to the program with concern of food safety and public health. However, these concerns have not materialized based on the experience thus far with the program. Not all 10 permits of the pilot program were acquired. However, the new ordinance opens the program up to 20 licenses with a maximum of 10 in a single district. The total cost of the permit has been reviewed, based on average time spent on the current permits. The initial permits cost $384 and consists of an annual permit as well as a plan check. Annual permits must renewed annually which costs $256. If more staff time is needed, additional cost may incur at 15 minute increment at $128/hr. AB626 offers the ability to provide on-site consumption. If on-site pickup or on-site consumption permit is requested, approval from planning department, either from the county or the city, is required to ensure that traffic and parking meet their standards. A minor-use permit may be necessary to obtain approval. MHKO's are only allowed to operate between 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. Thus far the program has worked well, has created new businesses, and is looking to expand offering even more opportunities to our business community.

Memorandum Date: December 21, 2021 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer Subject: Consideration of Recovery and Revitalization Plan for Lake County, an American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Spending Priorities Statement Executive Summary: As your Board is aware, thanks to the tireless work of our extraordinary Federal Legislative Representatives and others, Lake County was allocated $12,506,226.00 in State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, as a result of passage of the American Rescue Plan Act (also known as ARPA). These funds can be used for numerous qualifying purposes, such as: * Overcoming negative economic impacts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic; * Supporting the recovery and revitalization of hard-hit communities; * Funding Public Health expenditures associated with pandemic response; and * Investing in Water and Sewer Infrastructure An Ad Hoc Committee including Chairman Sabatier, Supervisor Pyska, our CAO, Carol Huchingson, Department Heads and County Administrative and Finance Staff undertook an extensive process to identify needs appropriately matched to this funding allocation. Every County Department Head was granted the opportunity to weigh in on needs they viewed as qualifying, and share their priorities. Committee members agreed spending intended to have a beneficially transformative effect on Lake County communities should be emphasized, and we should also look to prepare our local government organization to more flexibly and efficiently serve the public for years to come. We anticipate the priorities outlined here will require all $12,506,226.00 of our allocation, and, unfortunately, not all needs can be funded. However, four broad categories emerged, all of which reflect significant lessons learned as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic: * Building sustainable communities through housing and long-term planning; * Removing barriers to childhood success and dignified aging; * Acting now on water and sewer infrastructure projects; and * Preparing to effectively meet emergent public needs. ARPA funds can be obligated through December 31, 2024, so your Board will appreciate there is a need to move with urgency to put these dollars to work. While specific funding allocations will be made as part of our Mid-Year Budget process, we are excited to present this Recovery and Revitalization Priority Statement with all Board members and the public, on behalf of the Ad Hoc Committee. Staff recommends your Board approve this spending priorities document. Like other long-term planning documents, revisions may be brought forth in the future, but it is important we have our marching orders in place, and can immediately work with Departments to develop specific allocation recommendations.

Memorandum Date: December 21, 2021 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Todd Metcalf, MPA, Director Behavioral Health Services Subject: Consideration of MOU Between CalMHSA and Participating Counties and the California Department of State Hospitals for the Purchase of State Hospital Beds for FY 2021-22. Executive Summary: The MOU before the Board represents the culmination of negotiations between the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA) and the Department of State Hospitals (DSH). The Department of State Hospitals proposed a rate increase and the last rates were established in 2016-17, see attached. CalMHSA successfully negotiated to push back rate increases proposed by DSH. It is imperitive we enter into this MOU so as to maintain our access to State Hospital Beds. These beds are for people on conservatorship requiring the highest level of care available in California. CalMHSA is a Joint Powers Authority that pioneers cutting edge research and provides counties an independent administrative and fiscal intergovernmental structure. They help fund, develop, and implement mental health services and educational programs at the state, regional, and local levels. A central component of CalMHSA's vision is to continually promote systems and services arising from a commitment to community mental health, and to the values of the California Mental Health Services Act. Lake County entered into a JPA with CalMHSA in June 2013 which established the authority under which Lake could enter into agreements with CalMHSA, find attached.

Memorandum Date: December 21, 2021 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Todd Metcalf, MPA, Director Behavioral Health Services Subject: Consideration of Participation Agreement Between Lake County Behavioral Health Services and the California Mental Health Services Authority for the Superior Regional Partnership - OSHPD WET Grant FY 2021-25. Executive Summary: The Workforce Education and Training (WET) Program is a component of the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) that specifically addresses the needs of and issues surrounding hard-to-fill and hard-to-retain professions within the Public Mental Health System (PMHS). In addition to local efforts, statewide regional efforts are also launched in five year plans. The Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) is responsible for supporting those regional efforts. California is separated into five different regions with each region designating its local priorities. Lake is in the Superior Region along with the following Counties: Butte, Colusa, Del Norte, Glenn, Humboldt, Lassen, Mendocino, Modoc, Nevada, Plumas, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou, Tehama, and Trinity County. The Superior Regional WET Partnership has determined that it wants to provide the following in recruitment and retention efforts: * Student loan repayment * Stipends for college * Retention efforts such as free trainings. The partnership voted to appoint the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA), who is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) with whom LCBHS has an existing agreement, as the administrator for this regional plan. CalMHSA is working with OSHPD to match two dollars for every one dollar each county contributes. Lake County's contribution has been calculated at $54,479.00 based on its size, which represents 5.95% of the total value of the regional amount of $5,072,560.00. The total funding to Lake County is $245,075.01 and is inclusive of CalMHSA's Administrative Fee of 12.22% or $29,958.01. CalMHSA will act as the hub for all staff applications and distribution of funds, based on regional and county eligibility standards. Any staff at LCBHS may request these funds through an application portal. Undergraduate stipends are for $1,000, master and doctorate stipends are for $8,000, and loan repayment is for up to $10,000. This agreement allows Lake County to participate in this program, which is hoped will enhance the recruiting and retention of staff.

Memorandum Date: December 21, 2021 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Mary V. Darby, Community Development Department Director Subject: Consideration of Planning Services Contract Amendment Number 1 between the County of Lake and LACO to Extend the Term of the Contract and Increase the Compensation. Executive Summary: On August 10, 2021, County issued a Request for Qualifications for Planning Services. Four firms responded and LACO was selected through this competitive process for their previous experience with the County and their extensive experience in working with city/county planners in the cannabis industry. The County contracted with LACO on October 4, 2021 to provide planning services to the Community Development Department Planning Division. LACO provides on-call planning services that includes Initial Studies, Mitigated Negative Declarations, Environmental Impact Reports, staff reports, Notices of Decisions, and presentations before the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Of the 34 projects assigned to LACO, two projects have been completed and forwarded to the Planning Division, four projects will be submitted within the next 2-3 weeks and at least five other projects have outstanding items be submitted for the CEQA Initial Study and final review. As your Board is aware, State Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) has designated an allocation of $2,101,143, pending final approval of our grant application for Lake County as part of its Local Jurisdiction Assistance Grant offering. Lake County has submitted its initial application and is continuing to work through the process with the DCC. According to the published timeline, DCC intends to announce the awards this month. These funds can be used towards supporting local governments in processing the substantial workloads associated with transitioning a significant number of cannabis businesses into the regulated market, all with the goal of transitioning cultivators to annual licenses with the State. Lake County's application to the DCC requested grant funding to secure consultants that can assist in the processing of cannabis permit applications. A criteria for this grant program requires that these funds cannot be used to supplant existing funding sources. To that end, the current LACO contract expires on December 31, 2021 and an amendment is needed to continue to make use of this allocation. This Amendment includes the following: ? Amends the contract term from January 1, 2021 through March 31, 2025 which comports with the grant term and should provide sufficient time to address the Cannabis applications that remain in the queue and subsequent new cannabis applications. ? Increases the compensation amount for the following fiscal years: January 1, 2022 - June 30, 2022 $400,000 July 1, 2022 -June 30, 2023 $400,000 July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024 $400,000 July 1, 2024 - March 31, 2025 $400,000 Any unspent funds in a prior fiscal year can be carried over by future amendment to the next fiscal year, except for last fiscal year due to closing out the grant contract. This extension remains contingent upon the grant award of $2,101,143 from the Local Jurisdiction Assistance Grant Program. The remaining balance of the grant, $501,143, will be utilized for grant eligible cannabis related expenses.

Memorandum Date: December 21, 2021 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Scott De Leon, Public Works Director Subject: Consideration and approval of Agreement with the Regents of the University of California on behalf of the Tahoe Environmental Research Center for Clear Lake sediment sampling analysis for 16-month period not to exceed $74,995 and authorize the Water Resources Director to sign. Executive Summary: We request the Board of Supervisors, to authorize the Water Resources Director to sign an Agreement with the Regents of the University of California on behalf of the Tahoe Environmental Research Center (TERC) for Clear Lake Limnological Sediment Sampling Analysis (See Attached Agreement #A62707). In 2011, staff negotiated an agreement with staff at the Davis Environmental Science and Policy Department to analyze sediment cores from Clear Lake for nutrient (phosphorous and nitrogen). These analyses had been performed periodically since 1992. In 2021, the laboratory that has continually performed these analysis, located at UC Davis in Davis, CA, was discontinued and the laboratory moved to TERC, located in Incline Village, Nevada. The attached agreement includes the new lab facility at TERC and both extends these analyses for an additional year, until November 2022, and includes the samples that were not yet analyzed in 2021 due to the changes in the laboratory location. We have contacted other regional laboratories to identify competitors, however, these particular sediment analyses are not standard and cannot be negotiated in any alternative labs. The value and importance of continued sediment sampling cannot be over stated. The internal nutrient loading that is occurring with phosphorus and nitrogen cycling through the sediments (winter) and water column (summer) appears to be the greatest source of nutrients to both green algae and cyanobacteria blooms in Clear Lake. External phosphorus loading has been significantly reduced, however, the internal nutrient loading is continuing to support excessive growth of cyanobacteria. Understanding this nutrient cycling is necessary in order to develop measures to improve summer conditions in Clear Lake. This understanding is facilitated by possession of a substantial data set. The sediment nutrient dataset compliments the water quality dataset that has been collected by CDWR, Water Resources, and the current efforts underway by UC Davis as part of the Blue Ribbon Committee directed research. Staff believes the data collected with the sediment sampling is critical to understanding Clear Lake's cyanobacteria blooms and important for making evidence-based management decisions. This is a budgeted expense funded through BU 1672 Lakebed Management. The cost for renewal of the annual agreement is: Water Resources Department $74,995.00 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: Consideration and approval of Agreement with the Regents of the University of California on behalf of the Tahoe Environmental Research Center for Clear Lake sediment sampling analysis for 16-month period not to exceed $74,995 and authorize the Water Resources Director to sign.
