Executive Summary
On January 11, 2022, your Board approved the submittal of an application for the Public Defense Grant Pilot Program to receive the yearly 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.
On March 1, 2022, your Board adopted the authorizing Resolution to submit and execute the grant agreement. Subsequently, the State of California, Board of State of Community Corrections requested an amendment to the Resolution to include "or designee" in the title and body of Resolution.
Staff recommends adopting the amended Resolution to complete the application process for the Public Defense Pilot Grant Program.
Background
The Budget Act of 2021 (Senate Bill 129) established the Public Defense Grant 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.
Recommended Action
Adopt Resolution Amending Resolution 2022-22 Authorizing the County Administrative Officer or Designee on Behalf of the Lake County Board of Supervisors to Submit the Public Defense Grant Pilot Program Proposal for Funding and Execute the Grant Agreement with the State of California, Board of State Community Corrections.

5.4Approve Budget Transfer from BU 1781 - Special Projects Account 717.23-80 to BU 1451 - Registrar of Voters Account 714.61-60 and Increase Capital Asset in the amount of $15,637 for Leasehold Improvements and Authorize the Chair to Sign
Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
During the improvements made to the building leased by the Registrar of Voters it was discovered that the HVAC unit is obsolete and needs to be replaced. The property owner will be paying for a new unit, however, the County will be responsible for costs associated with converting the power supply. We will be converting from 3-phase power to single phase power which will greatly reduce overall power usage and thus reduce the monthly costs. Over time, the resulting reduction in power will cover the initial cost of the upgrade.
These additional expenses are outside of the original scope of work and therefore a budget transfer is necessary to ensure enough funds are available for the upgrade.
Recommended Action
Approve Budget Transfer from BU 1781 - Special Projects Account 717.23-80 to BU 1451 - Registrar of Voters Account 714.61-60 and Increase Capital Asset in the amount of $15,637 for Leasehold Improvements and Authorize the Chair to Sign.

Agreement
pulled on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
This Agreement is needed to pay for invoices for services rendered. LCBHS is required by the Department of Health Care Services to pay for acute psychiatric hospitalization services for Lake County beneficiaries and this Agreement is needed to render payment.
This item was first brought before the Board on 01/25/2022 and was not approved. The Board directed LCBHS to go through a competitive bidding process before it would approve this or any other Agreement with an Acute care hospital. LCBHS reached out to County Counsel for guidance around this issue, specifically for clarification around the California Code of Regulations section 1810.430(a) regarding Mental Health Plan contracts with Traditional Hospitals (TH) and Disproportionate Share Hospitals (DSH). Please find attached the memo from County Counsel dated 02/17/2022.
It is important to note that LCBHS has invoices from 2020-21 received in the current Fiscal Year, as well as invoices for the current Fiscal Year. Both TH and DSH hospitals have up to one year to send an invoice to the Mental Health Plan for Acute Psychiatric Hospitalization services rendered.
This item went before the Board again on 03/15/2022. The Department had been under the mistaken impression that, due to the requirement to contract with TH and DSH hospitals as stated in the attached memo from County Counsel, a competitive bidding process was not necessary. The Department was directed by the Board to request an exemption under California Code of Regulations section 1810.430(a) and to go out to bid. The Department reached out to the Department of Health Care Services for guidance around this matter, and was directed to review Behavioral Health Information Notice 20-052, find attached to this item, as well as Enclosure 1 titled "Medi-Cal Psychiatric Inpatient Hospital Services Regional Average Non-Negotiated Rates July 1, 2020." The Department of Health Care Services is responsible for annually updating regional rates for Fee-for-Service/Medi-Cal hospitals which do not have an existing contract with a Mental Health Plan. This Information Notice provides the methodology for determining the rates and an enclosure with the FY 2020-21 regional rates.
Per California Code of Regulations Title 9, Section 1820.115, the Department of Health Care Services shall determine the reimbursement rates for acute psychiatric inpatient hospital services for each Fee-for-Service/Medi-Cal hospital which does not have an existing contract with any Mental Health Plan.
The RFP was released March 14, 2022 and the Department will report out the results after the RFP closes on April 18th: http://www.lakecountyca.gov/Assets/Departments/Mental+Health_AODS/docs/MH/RFP+Acute+Psychiatric+Hospital+Services.pdf

5.17a) Adopt Resolution of Intent to Adopt a Resolution for the Vacation of an Alley for Public Use in the area of Middletown; and b) Waive the application fee of $1,120.00 due to the overall public benefit of the proposed vacation
Resolution
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
Mr. Joseph Kitto, Pastor at First Baptist Church of Middletown, has petitioned the Board of Supervisors for the vacation of a portion of a 15-foot wide alley, located in the Middletown area of Lake County. The reason for the vacation is to allow a voluntary merger on the Church owned parcels. APNs 024-451-13 and 19.
The 15-foot alley had no offer of dedication shown on the map of Walter's Addition to Middletown recorded on February 3, 1891 in Book 1 of Town Maps at page 52 (copy attached). However, the County Board of Supervisors vacated a portion of the alley in 1974 through the adoption of Resolution No. 74-156 (copy attached); thereby establishing the process staff is utilizing today to vacate the remainder. Following the findings of the aforementioned Resolution, staff recommends that the proposed action has no significant impact on the environment and is consistent with the Lake County General Plan. Furthermore, this vacation process would not land lock any properties and would terminate any public interest that may exist in the alley.
Recommended Action
1) Adopt Resolution of Intention which sets forth the location of the proposed vacation, sets the date and time of the public hearing and directs the Clerk of the Board to give notice, pursuant to Sections 8322 and 8323 of the Streets and Highways Code.
2) The Board waive the $1120.00 fee due to the overall benefit to residents within the community. (The vacated alley will impact twelve parcels - including the South Lake County Fire Station properties)

Presentation
Staff memo
The Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project (Middle Creek Project) will eliminate flood risk and will restore damaged habitat. Reconnection of this large, previously reclaimed area, as a functional wetland is anticipated to have a significant benefit on the watershed and the water quality of Clear Lake.
This project has progressed from the initial phase in 1995, of a request by the County to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to evaluate flood risk and improve water quality in Clear Lake. As of April 2021 the Watershed Protection District has over 40 parcels from willing sellers by securing grant funds in 2003 and most recently in 2018 with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and continues onward securing parcels located within the Middle Creek Project area.
On August 13, 2019, the Board of Supervisors acting as the Board of Directors of the Watershed Protection District created a standing committee, the Middle Creek Project Committee (Committee), to support and facilitate the Middle Creek Restoration Project. Since the Committee's inception, the Committee has met once a month on the first Monday of each month.
Marina Deligiannis, Deputy Water Resources Director, will give a presentation alongside Peter Windrem, Middle Creek Restoration Coalition (Middle Creek Project Committee member) and Dr. Harry Lyons, Middle Creek Restoration Coalition (Middle Creek Project Committee member) on the progression of the Middle Creek Project and next steps.
The Committee will also be presenting to the Board of Supervisors the Non-Federal Sponsor Letter of Intent. The Committee kindly request that the Board of Supervisors consider and authorize the Board to sign the Letter of Intent which will be sent to the Army Corps of Engineers
Recommended Action
Review and approve the 2022 Non-Federal Sponsor Letter of Intent to be sent to the Army Corps
of Engineers and authorize the Chair of the Lake County Board of Supervisors to sign.

7.1Supervisors’ weekly calendar, travel and reports
7.2Consideration of Resolution Confirming the Highest Priority Project for Submittal to the Community Project Funding Program that Includes the Lakeport Armory Facility Repurposing Project.
Resolution
Staff memo
Executive Summary
County was recently notified by our distinguished Congressman, Mike Thompson, that the 117th Congress of the United States has announced another round of the Community Project Funding Program for fiscal year 2023. This important program will direct funds to specific state, county, local governments, districts and non-profits to support health, safety and economic well-being.
Members of Congress can submit up to fifteen (15) Community Project Funding proposals on behalf of all the jurisdictions within their federal district. Submitted projects will be competitively evaluated by the Committee on Appropriations. While there is no guarantee all will be funded, projects with strong local support will be given preference. Congressman Thompson is encouraging communities located within his District to put forth only their highest priority project.
Given the short turn-around time and the previous support demonstrated by your Board, staff recommends resubmitting the Lakeport Armory Facility Repurposing Project for consideration of a $1,000,000 grant.
Lakeport Armory Facility Repurposing Project.
On October 26, 2021, your Board executed the Agreement to complete the land swap between the County of Lake and the State of California related to the Lakeport Armory located at 1431 Hoyt Avenue, Lakeport, CA and the county-owned vacant property located at 15837 18th Avenue, Clearlake, CA.
This property exchange serves two purposes: 1) creating an estimated 80 affordable housing units in the City of Clearlake with easy access to public services and 2) relocating the Sheriff's Office and repurposing the facility to provide regional public safety training and resilient emergency response operations.
If adopted, staff will complete all the necessary steps needed to demonstrate community need and support before the due date of Monday, April 11, 2022.
Recommended Action
Adopt Resolution confirming the highest priority project for submittal for the Community Project Funding Program that includes the Lakeport Armory Facility Repurposing Project.

7.3Consideration of Reforming the Internal County Comprehensive Drought Planning Workgroup to Meet the Requirements of Senate Bill 552
Action Item
Staff memo
Executive Summary
On October 5, 2021, your Board created an internal Comprehensive Drought Planning Workgroup comprised of Supervisors Pyska and Sabatier and County staff.
On March 15, 2022, your Board received an update from the Lake County Water Resources Department regarding 2022 drought conditions and on the various meeting groups working to address local drought impacts.
At that time, staff was directed to prepare this follow up discussion item to enable your Board to consider expanding the County's Comprehensive Drought Planning Workgroup to also meet the requirements of Senate Bill (SB) 552. SB 552 requires establishment of a standing county drought and water shortage task force to facilitate drought and water shortage preparedness for state small water systems and domestic wells within the county's jurisdiction:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB552
As your Board recalls, the original workgroup was tasked with fact finding, priority setting, and action as follows:
* Proactive steps to adapt to climate change and on-going drought conditions
* Addressing and managing water shortages
* Short-term and Long-term sustainability plans
* Drafting updates to applicable policies and ordinances
Original participants included the Special District Administrator, the Public Works/Water Resources Director, the Deputy Water Resources Director, the Health Services Director, the Air Pollution Control Officer, the Public Services Director, the CDD Director, the Environmental Health Director and the Ag Commissioner, the County Administrative Officer or designee and the Sheriff/OES Director as needed.
During your discussion of reforming this workgroup to additionally meet the requirements of Senate Bill 552, your Board may want to consider a name change for the group, additional seats to be added to the group, and direction to staff to support the work of the group.
Recommended Action
By motion, reform the County Comprehensive Drought Planning Workgroup meet the requirements of Senate Bill 552, change the name of the group as necessary and designate additional seats to be added to the group.

7.5ERRATUM - (Sitting as the Lake County Housing Authority Board of Commissioners) a) Consideration of First Amendment to the 2021 Agreement to Develop Affordable Housing by and Between the Lake County Housing Authority and the Rural Communities Housing Development Corporation; and b) Consideration of Request for an Audit
Agreement
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The Lake County Housing Authority became the successor agency of the former Redevelopment Agency's housing obligations and assets. In January of 2012, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution formally effectuating that transfer to the Lake County Housing Authority.
In March of 2012, the Oversight Board of the Successor Agency for the Lake County Redevelopment Agency took action in regard to the original Collier Avenue Affordable Housing Project which had been entered into with the Rural Communities Housing Development Corporation (RCHDC) and directed the Lake County Housing Authority to retain its deeds of trust on the Collier Avenue property to secure the loans made with the balance due and payable if five years unless the housing project was substantially completed.
For many reasons including the advent of a series of disaster and the lack of funding, the Collier Avenue project was not able to move forward.
In 2021, there was an opportunity to renegotiate an agreement with RCHDC to develop affordable housing. The 2021 Agreement to Develop Affordable Housing describes the terms and conditions of the negotiation which include the Housing Authority's agreement to cancel and forgive the aforementioned deeds of trust. However, the renegotiated 2021 Agreement also improved the protections against loss to the Housing Authority. A copy of that 2021 Agreement is included with this Agenda Item.
Since the Housing Authority's September 2021 approval of the renegotiated agreement with
RCHDC, the County has participated in several meetings of the Oversight Board of the Successor Agency for the Lake County Redevelopment Agency discussing the path forward to achieve the critical goal of providing affordable housing in Lake County.
At the March 7 meeting of the Oversight Board, I presented some suggestions to modify and add provisions to further strengthen the terms and conditions of the agreement approved in 2021.
The memo to the Oversight Board wherein those suggestions are made is also included as part of this Agenda Item. At that meeting, the Oversight Board suggested that these additions and modifications to the 2021 Agreement be presented for the approval of the Lake County Housing Authority.
Submitted here for the consideration of your Board is a draft First Amendment to the 2021 Agreement for the Development of Affordable Housing.
Approval of this amendment may be accomplished by motion. Thank you
Recommended Action
a) Approve First Amendment to the 2021 Agreement to Develop Affordable Housing by and Between the Lake County Housing Authority and the Rural Communities Housing Development Corporation
