Staff memo
Executive Summary
In order to better regulate the proliferation of illegal cannabis cultivation multiple counties have employed the use of satellite imagery. This imagery has helped identify these operations and streamline the ability of code enforcement to respond. The counties using this service have contracted with Planet Labs, which has offered previously unavailable services allowing for targeted imaging of certain areas at a designated time, up to the entire boundaries of the County if needed.
Lake County is among those jurisdictions being provided funding for this satellite imagery service through a Proposition 64 - Public Health and Safety Grant. The focus of this grant is to support code enforcement operations against unlawful cannabis cultivation. On February 22, 2021, your Board approved a 12-month agreement not to exceed $49,950. A 12-month renewal of this agreement with the same terms is attached.
Staff is requesting your Board waive the formal bidding process pursuant to Lake County Code Section 38.1, as it is an extension of an annual agreement. Planet is the designated service provider pursuant to the State's grant, and Code Enforcement staff has worked towards integrating this product's hosted platform into their illegal cannabis cultivation enforcement efforts as proposed in the Proposition 64 grant. Given that the Code Enforcement division is still in the process of rehiring and training staff, it is not recommended that any agreement more expansive in scope be considered at this time. If Code Enforcement staff and other county departments are able to expand the utilization of these services over the course of this upcoming year, staff could then effectively explore procuring more expansive satellite imagery services, including imagery products available through other vendors.
The agreement is attached for your consideration.
Recommended Action
Waive the formal bidding process, pursuant to Lake County Code Section 38.2, as it is not in the public interest due to the unique nature of goods or services; and approve the Agreement for Provision of Satellite Imagery Services by Planet Labs to the County of Lake.

Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The Budget Act of 2021 (Senate Bill 129) established the Public Defense Pilot Program. These funds, administered by the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC), may be utilized for indigent defense providers that includes funding for public defenders, alternate defenders, and other qualifying entities (e.g. social workers, interpreters, immigration attorneys). These funds can only be used to provide indigent defense in criminal matters for the purposes of workload associated only with the following penal codes:
a. Penal Code 1170.95 (SB 1437) - Allows people convicted of murder, who were not the actual killers, to file a petition with the court to have their murder conviction vacated and to be resentenced.
b. Penal Code 1170(d)(1) - Allows the court to reduce a person's term of imprisonment and modify the judgement if it is in the interest of justice.
c. Penal Code 1473.7 - Allows for the vacation of a conviction because the person did not meaningfully understand, defend against, or knowingly accept the actual or potential adverse immigration consequences of their plea.
d. Penal Code 3051 (Franklin Hearing) - Allows for a Youth Offender Parole Hearing for anyone who was 25 or younger at the time of their offence with a "meaningful opportunity for release" that includes taking into consideration the individuals personal history and their growth and maturity since the offence.
Each county received a designated allotment for this pilot program for three (3) years. If awarded, the County will receive the following disbursements:
March 1, 2022: $81,403.94 is disbursed and can be spent between 3/1/22-1/1/2025
March 1, 2023: $81,403.94 is disbursed and can be spent between 3/1/23-1/1/2025
March 1, 2024: $81,403.94 is disbursed and can be spent between 3/1/24-1/1/2025
These funds can only be used to supplement and not supplant current funding sources.
On January 11, 2022, your Board approved the submittal of an application for the Public Defense Pilot Program to receive the early allotment of $81,403.94 from March 1, 2022 - March 1, 2024 to provide indigent defense services. Staff submitted the application on January 14, 2022 for consideration by the State of California, Board of State and Community Corrections.

5.3Approve Memorandum of Understanding Between the County of Lake and Rural Communities Housing Development Corporation for the No Place Like Home Permanent Supportive Housing Project on Collier Avenue in Nice and Authorize the Board Chair to Sign.
Agreement
pulled on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
As the Board of Supervisors is aware, the County has been working towards creating permanent supportive housing, low-income apartments at 6853 Collier Avenue in Nice in partnership with Rural Communities Housing Development Corporation (RCHDC). Funding for this project involves leveraging housing funds from the Mental Health Services Act and the No Place Like Home (NPLH) program, both obtained from the Behavioral Health Services department (LCBHS). In accordance with the NPLH program, an MOU is necessary to establish the roles and responsibilities of both parties in creating and maintaining this housing. RCHDC's role will primarily be in the development, construction and property management. LCBHS' primary role is that of the referring entity for tenants and service provider for the units dedicated to mental health clients. It is therefore requested that the Board of Supervisors approve this MOU to move forward with the project.

Agreement
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
This Amendment increases the contract maximum by $100,000.00 for a new contract maximum of $200,000.00.
This Agreement provides a mechanism for Specialty Mental Health Services to be delivered to students at the Creativity School in Clearlake. The Creativity School provides educational opportunities for students K-12, who have a current Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and who have met the referral criteria for admission. The Creativity School provides academic, behavioral and emotional support to students who attend this specialized program and is Medi-CAL site certified through Lake County Behavioral Health Services by the Department of Health Care Services.
This contract increase represents more services being captured as billable services and represents a robust and successful partnership between LCBHS and LCOE to provide Specialty Mental Health Services to one of our most vulnerable populations. As LCBHS is the Medi-CAL billing pass-through for these services and these services are Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) services, we will receive full reimbursement back from the Department of Health Care Services.

Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
Assembly Bill 361 was enacted on September 16, 2021. Assembly Bill 361 authorizes the
County to use teleconferencing for public meetings without following certain requirements of the
Brown Act. Assembly Bill 361 essentially continues, with some limitations, the ability of local governments to meet virtually during a state- proclaimed State of Emergency as local governments have been authorized to do pursuant to Executive Orders of the Governor.
On September 28, 2021, your Board adopted the attached Resolution whereby you made findings authorizing teleconferenced meetings to continue. Every 30 days during the proclaimed State of Emergency and/or the period during which state or local officials have imposed or recommended social distancing measures, the legislative body acting under the teleconference exemptions must make findings as to whether the circumstances explained above still apply. The legislative body must find that it reconsidered the circumstances of the State of Emergency and that one of the following circumstances exist:
- The emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members to safety meet in person; OR
- State or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to propose social distancing." (Gov. Code sec. 54953(e)(3).)
Your Board may make those findings by motion and continue to allow teleconferenced meetings pursuant to AB 361 and the Resolution previously adopted.
If your Board cannot make these findings by majority vote, then it will no longer be exempt from the physical public access, quorum, and public comment opportunity rules applied to teleconferenced meetings under subsection 54953(b)(3).

Executive Summary
A project of the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), the Central Valley Flood Protection Plan (CVFPP) is California's strategic blueprint to improve flood risk management In the Central Valley. The CVFPP lays out strategies to:
- Prioritize the State's investment in flood management over the next 3 decades
- Promote multi-benefit projects
- Integrate and improve ecosystem functions associated with flood risk reduction projects
The first CVFPP was adopted in 2012 with the objective to review and adopt the plan every five years. Currently, DWR and the CVFPP Board are in the process of conducting outreach and engagement to incorporate in the 2022 CVFPP Update. During this 2022 CVFPP Update, the State will evaluate progress made since passage of major State bonds in 2007 and will recommend future management actions led by State, local, and/or federal agencies to continue implementation of the CVFPP. The 2022 CVFPP Update will focus on three key themes:
- Climate Resilience
- Project Implementation, Accomplishments, and Performance Tracking
- Alignment with Other State Efforts
Marina Deligiannis, Deputy Water Resources Director will be joined by staff from the California Department of Water Resources and the CVFPP Board to present an overview of the CVFPP, 2022 CVFPP Update and share how the Lake County community can have a direct engagement with the 2022 Update of the Central Valley Flood Protection Plan.

7.4Consideration of Resolution authorizing the County Administrative Officer to execute a Funding Agreement with Pacific Forest and Watershed Lands Stewardship Council, approving the County’s receipt of $824,583 in lieu of property taxes related to the transfer of 907 acres, located near the Eel River, Lower Trout Creek area, from the Pacific Gas & Electric Company to the United States Forest Service;
Report
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The Stewardship Council has recommended that approximately 907 acres of PG&E Watershed lands located in Lake County be transferred to the United States Forest Service, a government agency. In connection with this transfer of real property, the Stewardship Council has agreed to make a tax neutrality lump sum payment to the County of $824,583. This is a small increase from the 891 acres and $796,993 originally considered in the prior agreement approved by your Board on May 7, 2019. This change requires a revised agreement and accompanying resolution.
The Stewardship Council had also recommended that the Potter Valley Tribe, a federally recognized tribe, receive a fee title donation to approximately 95 acres of PG&E Watershed lands located in Lake County. In connection with this transfer of real property, the Stewardship Council previously made a lump sum payment to the County of $56,428 which completed that transaction.
Tax neutrality funding agreements between the County and Pacific Forest and Watershed Lands Stewardship Council ("Stewardship Council") are proposed to offset the loss in property tax revenues. The lump sum payments will be distributed to affected taxing agencies within the County.
The Pacific Forest and Watershed Lands is a nonprofit organization, which was formed as a result of a PG&E Settlement Agreement with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in 2003 and the Stipulation Resolving Issues Regarding the Land Conservation Commitment. The Stewardship Council is charged with implementing PG&E's Land Conservation Commitment.
As part of the PG&E Settlement Agreement and Stipulation in 2003, a Land Conservation Commitment was established to permanently protect approximately 140,000 acres of PG&E watershed lands. Located across 22 counties, the lands encompass almost 1,000 parcels. The Watershed Lands stretch from Shasta County in the north and Kern County in the south, from the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges to the Eel River watershed in Lake and Mendocino Counties. For planning purposes, the parcel were grouped into 47 planning units.
Protecting the watershed lands will be accomplished through (1) PG&E's grant of conservation easements to one or more public agencies or qualified conservation organizations so as to protect the natural habitat of fish, wildlife, and plants, the preservation of open space, outdoor recreation by the general public, sustainable forestry, agricultural uses, and historic values (collectively the Beneficial Public Values); and in some cases (2) PG&E's donation of the watershed lands in fee to one or more public entities or qualified conservation organizations, whose ownership would be consistent with these conservation objectives.
In accordance with PG&E's Settlement Agreement, certain lands owned by PG&E are being donated to public agencies or qualified organizations for the protection of the lands. Because the land will be transferred from a privately-owned utility to a Tribal entity and a government agency, the transfer of lands has the potential for property tax implications. The Settlement Agreement requires that any donation will not adversely impact local tax revenue, and the Stipulation requires that an appropriate entity provide property tax revenue, other equivalent revenue source, or a lump sum payment so that the totality of the dispositions in each affected county under the Land Conservation Commitment will be tax neutral for the county.
The resolution and proposed agreement are attached for your consideration.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends your Board adopt Resolution authorizing the County Administrative Officer to execute a Funding Agreement with Pacific Forest and Watershed Lands Stewardship Council, approving the County's receipt of $824,583 in lieu of property taxes related to the transfer of 891 acres, located near the Eel River, Lower Trout Creek area, from the Pacific Gas & Electric Company to the United States Forest Service.

7.6Consideration of County's Participation with CLERC in CAL FIRE Funding Programs
Action Item
Staff memo
Executive Summary
California experienced the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in its history in recent years. Fueled by Drought, an unprecedented buildup of dry vegetation and extreme winds. The size and intensity of these wildfires caused the loss of more than 100 lives, destroyed thousands of homes and exposed millions of urban and rural Californians to unhealthy air.
California's forest management efforts have not kept pace with these growing threats. Despite good forest management work completed by the state and federal government and private landowners each year. Currently, collective forest management work each year is inadequate to improve the health of millions of acres in our California forests; therefore, we need more restoration. On April 12, 2021, May 10, 2021, July 8, 2021 and October 19, 2021, the Governor of California, proclaimed states of emergency to exist throughout California due to severe drought conditions. The proclamation stated "the increasing frequency of multi-year droughts presents a significant risk to California's ability to ensure adequate water supplies for communities." The proclamation goes on to state that "the extreme drought conditions through most of the State present urgent challenges, including greatly increased wildfire activity" and it is "necessary to expeditiously mitigate the effects of the drought conditions to ensure the protection of health, safety and the environment."
To that end, the Clear Lake Environmental Research Center (CLERC) is proposing to implement eight (8) projects to reduce fuel loads, which would reduce the spread and severity of a wildfire, should one occur and to provide defensible space for fire suppression crews to safely defend communities. For your perusal, the scope of these projects are attached. Vegetation management crews would maintain fire suppression equipment in work vehicles during activities that can generate sparks or heat. The projects would not impair an adopted emergency response plan or evacuation plan. Further the projects would not involve the installation or maintenance of any infrastructure that could exacerbate fire risk.
However, these projects would support the reduction of wildfires caused by the buildup of dry vegetation and extreme winds. The CLERC projects which are coordinated by a grant that was awarded to CAL Fire, (funded by a Forest Health Grant) would utilize funding from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to support such projects. The projects, as proposed, will remove hazardous vegetation in CAL FIRE's highest priority areas in Lake County, where Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) fuel loads have created dangerous conditions and increased risk of catastrophic wildfire. The grantee of the grant, CAL FIRE, in partnership with the CLERC (the applicant) proposes to oversee eight projects. These projects are:
1) Lake County Wildfire Resilience - CE 21-67 - request to upload to the State Clearing House on 2.22.22.
2) Benmore Valley Forest Health - CE 22-08 - request to upload to the State Clearing House on 2.22.22.
3) Darner Forest Health Project - CE 22-07 - request to upload to the State Clearing House on 2.22.22.
4) Shambhala Hazardous Fuel Reduction Project - CE 22-03 - request to upload to the State Clearing House on 2.23.22.
5) Rothman Hazardous Fuel Reduction Project - CE 22-06 - request to upload to the State Clearing House on 2.23.22.
6) South Cobb Forest Health Project - CE 22-02 - request to upload to the State Clearing House on 2.23.22.
7) Loch Lomond Hazardous Fuel Reduction Project - CE 22-09 - request to upload to the State Clearing House on 2.23.22.
8) Seigler Springs Hazardous Fuel Reduction Project - CE 22-05 - request to upload to the State Clearing House on 2.23.22.
All eight projects have been submitted to the County of Lake Community Development Department (CDD) by the applicant to be uploaded to the State Clearing House (SCH) for a 35-day comment period. In order for CDD to upload these projects to SCH, the Department would have to be considered LEAD AGENCY. CDD supports the CLERC projects because of the need for such work, but also to support the vision of the Lake County General Plan Public Facilities & Services Element Goals (Policy PFS - 8.6: Interagency Cooperation, Page 5-10) which is to "continue to promote cooperative fire projection agreements with the California Division of Forestry (and) to provide added fire protection on a year round basis."
CDD's request:
In the instant case, the County is asked to act as lead agency solely for the purpose of accepting CLERC's environmental determinations that there are specified categorical exemptions applicable as to each of the applications for projects to be undertaken under the Forest Health Grant Program and posting those applications with the State Clearing House for the required circulation period. CalFire's Forest Health Program works with local partners to address fire prevention and to improve forest health. In a partnership role, the County may act as lead agency for the purpose described above.
Since this is a departure from the County's usual role as lead agency where the County approves and issues use permits or maintains oversight of other land use actions, CDD asks for the Board's approval to act as lead agency for the Forest Health Grant Projects.
Further, as a result of an appellate court decision issue last year, the County's prior process of imbedding indemnification provisions in land use applications is no longer viable. Instead, the County's standard indemnification provisions must be contained in a separate agreement. Attached here is the new template which CLERC will be asked to sign.

To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Mary Darby, Community Development Director
Subject: Consideration of County's Participation with CLERC in CAL FIRE Funding Programs
Executive Summary:
California experienced the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in its history in recent years. Fueled by Drought, an unprecedented buildup of dry vegetation and extreme winds. The size and intensity of these wildfires caused the loss of more than 100 lives, destroyed thousands of homes and exposed millions of urban and rural Californians to unhealthy air.
California's forest management efforts have not kept pace with these growing threats. Despite good forest management work completed by the state and federal government and private landowners each year. Currently, collective forest management work each year is inadequate to improve the health of millions of acres in our California forests; therefore, we need more restoration. On April 12, 2021, May 10, 2021, July 8, 2021 and October 19, 2021, the Governor of California, proclaimed states of emergency to exist throughout California due to severe drought conditions. The proclamation stated "the increasing frequency of multi-year droughts presents a significant risk to California's ability to ensure adequate water supplies for communities." The proclamation goes on to state that "the extreme drought conditions through most of the State present urgent challenges, including greatly increased wildfire activity" and it is "necessary to expeditiously mitigate the effects of the drought conditions to ensure the protection of health, safety and the environment."
To that end, the Clear Lake Environmental Research Center (CLERC) is proposing to implement eight (8) projects to reduce fuel loads, which would reduce the spread and severity of a wildfire, should one occur and to provide defensible space for fire suppression crews to safely defend communities. For your perusal, the scope of these projects are attached. Vegetation management crews would maintain fire suppression equipment in work vehicles during activities that can generate sparks or heat. The projects would not impair an adopted emergency response plan or evacuation plan. Further the projects would not involve the installation or maintenance of any infrastructure that could exacerbate fire risk.
However, these projects would support the reduction of wildfires caused by the buildup of dry vegetation and extreme winds. The CLERC projects which are coordinated by a grant that was awarded to CAL Fire, (funded by a Forest Health Grant) would utilize funding from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to support such projects. The projects, as proposed, will remove hazardous vegetation in CAL FIRE's highest priority areas in Lake County, where Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) fuel loads have created dangerous conditions and increased risk of catastrophic wildfire. The grantee of the grant, CAL FIRE, in partnership with the CLERC (the applicant) proposes to oversee eight projects. These projects are:
1) Lake County Wildfire Resilience - CE 21-67 - request to upload to the State Clearing House on 2.22.22.

3) Darner Forest Health Project - CE 22-07 - request to upload to the State Clearing House on 2.22.22.
4) Shambhala Hazardous Fuel Reduction Project - CE 22-03 - request to upload to the State Clearing House on 2.23.22.

Executive Summary
California Health and Safety Code section 101040 authorizes the local health officer to take any preventive measures that may be necessary to protect and preserve public health from any public hazard during an emergency. The Health Officer of Lake County finds that the Cache Fire that started in the City of Clearlake on August 18, 2021 meets the criteria for a Public Health Proclamation. The fire has created an imminent threat to public health in the form of contaminated debris from hazardous waste and materials and structural debris resulting from the destruction of structures and vehicles, especially given the proximity to Cache Creek and the high risk of contamination of waterways that feed Clear Lake and area drinking water supplies. The hazardous waste debris poses a substantial present or potential hazard to human health and the environment unless its removal and disposal is performed in a manner that will protect the public health and safety.

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.
Recommended Action
Approve the Continuation of a Proclamation of Emergency Declaration for Drought Conditions.
