5.2Approve Letter of Support for APC to submit a business plan to CPUC for RuralREN energy efficiency programs
Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
I am requesting an opportunity, on our 02/08/22 Board agenda, for the APC to report on Regional Energy networks (RENs). Additionally, APC is seeking a letter of support from our Board to submit a business plan to CPUC for RuralREN energy efficiency programs.
RENs are a solution for delivering energy efficiency programs envisioned in the early 2010s by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). RENs were created as an innovative framework for local governments to design and administer energy efficiency programs and report directly to the commission. The goal was for the regional energy networks to create energy efficiency programs that would serve customers not otherwise served by the investor-owned utility programs.
Lake Area Planning Council (APC) is partnering with the seven other members of the Rural Hard to Reach Working (RHTR) group, an alliance of California local governments and non-profits experienced in implementing energy efficiency programs to submit a business plan to the CPUC for a new REN, the Rural Regional Energy Network. This business plan will be submitted by February 15th, 2022 and will seek funding from January 1st 2023 to December 31st 2031. The RuralREN is a direct response to the unique issues and urgent needs of rural California energy customers and will address energy equity in our communities by providing programs for residents, businesses, and public agencies. Opportunities for community investment will include hands-on career training and placement, incentives for energy efficiency projects, and localized lending. The RuralREN will provide the resources our communities need to play an equitable role in California's transition to a clean energy economy.
Lake APC staff plans to implement five RuralREN programs as described below:
The Residential Equity Program:
This program will primarily target low to moderate income rural service workers and retirees since they often face a high energy cost burden. The program will first seek to increase energy efficiency awareness in our communities by conducting extensive education and outreach delivered through local government and community-based organizations. The program will also offer a basic energy efficiency "toolkits" containing simple energy efficiency and conservation education material as well as easy to install energy efficiency equipment such as LED lightbulbs and power strips. The toolkit will be provided at no cost to residents who sign up for a phone energy consultation online or at community events. Finally, the program will offer in person and virtual energy efficiency audits which will also include no cost energy efficiency equipment, provide actionable energy efficiency and electrification project recommendations as well as guide customers towards qualified external incentives programs and financing solutions.
The Residential Resource Acquisition Program:
This program will offer Incentives for common home energy upgrades and GHG reducing technologies such as heat pumps. Energy efficiency measures will include a variety of "whole home" items like insulation, Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), and plug loads/appliances. Financing will also be made available to enable customers to implement energy projects with no capital outlay. The RuralREN finance offering is described in the finance equity program section below.
Commercial Resource Acquisition Program:
This program will offer energy advisor services and financial incentives to small and medium sized businesses. Region specific outreach and energy audits will provide specific, actionable recommendations for improving the place of business to reduce energy consumption and will guide the customer toward available incentives and financing options offered by RuralREN, electric and gas utility companies, and third-party program implementers. Incentives will be offered for common energy upgrades and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reducing technologies such as electric heat pumps. Energy efficiency measures will include a variety of items like controls, HVAC, and plug loads / appliances. Financing will also be made available to enable customers to implement energy projects with no capital outlay. Financing offerings are described in the Finance equity program section below.
Public Equity Program:
This program will offer a suite of technical assistance and expert services to public agencies in the Lake APC region to identify, develop, track, and implement energy savings projects in their buildings and facilities. This will help agencies on their path to meeting state mandates for GHG reduction and Zero Net Energy. In addition to providing much needed project services, this program will connect agencies to external incentives programs and financing offerings, increase awareness and expertise of public agency staff, increase regional collaboration amongst agencies, and help demonstrate local government leadership in energy efficiency and electrification within local communities. The program will also seek to integrate energy efficiency as part of the regular maintenance and equipment replacement process of each agency through the creation of infrastructure inventories that can be used as long-term project pipelines.
Workforce Education and Training Equity Program:
This Rural California Pathways to Climate Adaptive Careers program will provide energy efficiency training and upskilling to community members through hands-on training, career support and placement services. The program provides three training pathways to achieve these outcomes:
1) The Clean Energy Academy will bring free energy efficiency career training to underserved populations that include but aren't limited to veterans, 18- to 24-year-olds, previously incarcerated individuals, and individuals residing in low income or disadvantaged communities. This is a nationally recognized model, which provides certification training designed to meet the needs of the clean energy job market.
2) The climate careers employment and training pathway will target 15 to 22 years old's and train them to act as energy auditors as part of the residential equity program. This program will help participants develop energy management knowledge and techniques, professionalism, and time management skills while also providing benefits to the community at large.
3) The Connectivity pathway will seek connect graduates of the Clean Energy Academy and Climate Careers pathway and place them in programs that provide needed certifications to start working at a prevailing wage.
Codes and Standards Program:
This program will support code enforcement agencies as well as the building design and construction community to better understand and implement California's ambitious Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24), helping make buildings more efficient, paving the way for zero net energy building stock, and reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in our region. The program will provide building professionals with topic specific code trainings as well as support and facilitate transition to new codes, in particular ZNE-Ready reach codes. This program will also seek Increase agency collaboration and cooperation regionally, improving consistency among jurisdictions and streamlining energy code processes building professionals. Finally, this program will include an Energy Codes Coach service, which will consistent of on-demand technical assistance for public agencies or contractors to ask issue specific questions that arise as part of the permitting process.
Finance Equity Program:
RuralREN's Finance Program will address first cost and access to capital barriers that exist in Public, Small Business and Residential sectors in rural California by providing guidance and support to rural customers during their participation in energy efficiency related funding and financing offerings. This program will also operate a short-term bridge Loan offering for small businesses and local government agencies to cover energy efficiency project costs during construction in order to "bridge" the time gap between the time of approval for PG&Es On-Bill Financing (OBF) and the disbursement of the OBF funds occurring upon verification of the project installation by PG&E. This time gap can be many months, and in some cases a year or more. The "bridge" funding will allow cash strapped, small businesses and rural local government agencies to implement energy efficiency projects quicker and eliminates the added cost of contractor financing during construction (if contractor financing is even available). Finally, this program will also run a residential Loan offering which will offer zero percent interest medium term financing of energy efficiency upgrades for homeowners with a focus on appliance electrification. These loans will be focused in the $1,000 to $10,000 range, with loan terms of up to 36 months.
In order to implement these five programs Lake APC is making the following budget request as part of the strategic business plan application:

In addition to the yearly budget shown in the table above, Lake APC will also receive the services of consultants to be hired by the San Joaquin Valley Clean Energy Organization on behalf of all RuralREN partners to implement part of the residential equity as well as the workforce education and training program.
The next steps in this process are for the RuralREN to submit a motion to the California Public Utilities Commission by February 15th, 2022 to become a portfolio administrator, as well as for the RuralREN to submit a strategic business plan application. Once the motion and proposal are submitted each official parties to the CPUC energy efficiency proceeding will have the opportunity to make comments, request additional information, and reply comments, after which a CPUC administrative law judge will issue an official decision. If the business plan is approved Lake APC staff will then work with RuralREN partners to submit the detailed program participation guidelines, manuals, and implementation plans to the CPUC for final approval, in order to begin implementing programs on January 1st 2023.

A Resolution was originally approved on May 19, 2020 which authorized Lake County Behavioral Health Services to accept funding from the California Emergency Solutions and Housing (CESH) Program Grant Funds as the administrative entity for the Lake County Continuum of Care. This original Resolution Authorized then Lake County Board of Supervisors chair Moke Simon to execute the Standard Agreement and any subsequent amendments or modifications to the Standard Agreement.
A subsequent Resolution approved on November 17, 2020 which authorized the Board Chair to sign the Standard Agreement between the County of Lake and the Department of Housing and Community Development.
Another Resolution went before the Board November 23, 2021 authorizing the Lake County Behavioral Health Services Director to serve as designee to sign and execute any subsequent amendments or modifications to the Standard Agreement for CESH program funding.
However, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has requested that the language in the Resolution be updated to authorize the Lake County Behavioral Health Services Director to serve as designee to sign and execute any subsequent amendments or modifications thereto, as well as any other documents which are related to the Program or the CESH grant awarded to Applicant, as the Department may deem appropriate. This will allow the Director or designee the ability to sign all required grant reporting submitted to the HCD. HCD has also requested that the original NOFA date of June 10, 2019 also be included in the resolution. Both of these requested changes are in the Resolution before you.
Recommended Action
Adopt Resolution Authorizing the Behavioral Health Director to Execute and Sign any Subsequent Amendments or Modifications to the Original Standard Agreement Between the County of Lake and the Department of Housing and Community Development for the California Emergency Solutions and Housing (CESH) Program Grant Funds.

Staff memo
Executive Summary
The Resolution now before the Board Authorizes the Behavioral Health Director to sign an Amended Standard Agreement with the Department of Health Care Services for the provision of Specialty Mental Health Services where the Behavioral Health Department is the designated County Mental Health Plan.
The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) administers California's Medicaid (Medi-Cal) program. The Medi-Cal Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS) program is "carved-out" of the broader Medi-Cal program and operates under the authority of a waiver approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) under Section 1915(b) of the Social Security Act. As the single state Medicaid agency, DHCS is responsible for administering the Medi-Cal SMHS waiver program, which provides SMHS to Medi-Cal beneficiaries through designation of County Mental Health Plans (MHPs). The MHPs are required to provide or arrange for the provision of SMHS to beneficiaries in their counties that meet medical necessity criteria, consistent with the beneficiaries' mental health treatment needs and goals.
The Board of Supervisors passed Resolution 2021-120 on September 28, 2021 authorizing the Standard Agreement (STD 213) between the County of Lake Behavioral Health Department and the Department of Health Care Services for the period of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024. In order to comply with Federal Regulations the must be Amended. Additionally, the Agreement must change to reference Lake County Behavioral Health Services Department.

Agreement
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
On 10-22-2019 the Board approved an Agreement between County of Lake, Behavioral Health Services and Kings View Corporation for MIS Services. These are professional services that support our business-end functions as it relates to billing and reporting from our Electronic Health Record (Anasazi). While this Agreement was supposed to be a multi-year contract spanning 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22, it erroneously stated a contract termination date of 06-30-2020. The payment schedule and contract maximum of this Agreement, attached for reference, does reflect and reference a multi-year contract period. This error went unnoticed until a couple of months ago, when Kings View requested a contract Amendment to reflect a change in the company's name from Kings View Corporation to Kings View Professional Services. Up until this point, we had been processing invoices from Kings View for services rendered without issue. Upon consultation with County Counsel regarding the proposed contract Amendment the error came to light and we were directed execute a new contract encompassing 2020-21 and 2021-22.
Moving into FY 2022-23 and beyond, we are involved in a semi-state-wide Electronic Health Record project in partnership with the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA). To date, this project has culminated in a rigorous RFP for a new E.H.R. vendor with whom we hope to contract. It is very likely this will render the services we currently receive from Kings View Professional Services obsolete. However, we will continue to need the expertise from Kings View to support a smooth transition to the new E.H.R. platform.
Recommended Action
Approve Agreement Between County of Lake and Kings View Professional Services for MIS Support Services for Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22 for a Contract Maximum of $244,781.00 and Authorize the Board Chair to Sign the Agreement.

Staff memo
Executive Summary
Attached here for your Board's review and consideration is an agreement for special services with the law firm, Liebert Cassidy Whitmore. As you are aware, for more than twenty-five years, the County has participated in a member-directed risk-sharing pool with other California counties and various other public entities for purposes of liability insurance coverage. Formerly known as the California State Association of Counties - Excess Insurance Authority, that body is now known as PRISM, Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management. That coverage provides not only for the payment of eligible liability claims, but also for the cost of legal counsel, case administration, and other fees.
The coverage through this risk-sharing pool provides assigned counsel for all covered cases. By this agreement, I am recommending adding the law firm of Liebert Cassidy Whitmore to the relatively few existing assigned counsel already available. The cost for these services should be paid through the County's insurance coverage.
If your Board agrees to the addition of this law firm, please move to approve the agreement and authorize me to sign.
Thank you.

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.
