Memorandum Date: 4/1/2022 To: The Honorable Lake County AQMD Board of Directors From: Douglas Gearhart, APCO Subject: Carl Moyer Grant Program Year 24 Executive Summary: The Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (CMP) was established in 1998 as a grant program to fund the incremental cost of cleaner-than-required heavy-duty engines. The program now includes the reduction of particulate matter (PM) emissions and reduction of reactive organic gases (ROG), and originally targeted the reduction of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions. The CMP has historically been, and continues to be, a paper heavy and legalistic process to implement and administer. Ongoing obligations to monitor the funding contracts could become a significant resource demand. With changes in the program requirements several years ago, we are able to fund school bus projects and a few other project categories have been simplified and have potential for some projects to move forward that had previously been deemed not cost effective. Districts, such as the LCAQMD, with a population less than 1% of the state total population are eligible for a Matching Fund Waiver and program funding of up to $200,000. The present program guidelines state in part that the District submit a minute order or resolution authorizing the APCO to implement the program. The guidelines remain largely unchanged from the prior years. The ARB continues to require a contract for the individual grants and typically 5 to 10 years of follow up reporting. The LCAQMD has received Seventeen previous grant awards. We currently have partial Year 21, 22, and 23 funds available. Year 21, 22, and most of Year 23 funds are anticipated to be used for several school bus electric vehicle projects. If we fail to timely apply for the grant funds or do not timely expend funds (within 2 years of disbursement and an additional 2 years to liquidate), the funds allocated to Lake County must be returned to the State and will be reallocated to other areas of the state. 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: That the Board of Directors authorize the APCO to sign and submit the application for Year 24 funding and all program documents.

Memorandum Date: March 21, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Rob Howe, Chief Probation Officer Subject: Adopt Resolution Amending Resolution No. 2021-116 Establishing Position Allocations for Fiscal Year 2021-2022, Budget Unit No.2302, Probation. Executive Summary: As I am sure the Board is aware, bail reform has been a priority in the State of California. The California Supreme Court Case "Humphrey" established case law that, in short, says detention solely because of inability to pay bail is unconstitutional. Since that decision, probation departments throughout the state have been tasked with developing pre-trail programs to deal with a growing population of individuals that, rather than being released on bail, are released to various levels of court ordered probation programs and supervision. In late 2021, Senate Bill 129 "Budget Act of 2021" was passed and contained funding, available to Superior Courts, to establish local pre-trial programs. Lake County's Superior Court recently completed an MOU process to fund the Lake County Probation Department in the amount of $140,000 per Fiscal Year for these programs. Since managing this pre-trial population represents a significant increase in staff time, I believe the funding should be used for a full time allocated position. Because this positon will be developing programs and supervising the work of Deputy Probation Officers, Deputy Probation Officer, Senior is the appropriate position. I have discussed this with the Lake County Superior Court Executive Officer who agrees with this proposal and has verified it would be an appropriate and approved expenditure of this funding. $140,000 would cover the complete cost of the requested allocated position without cost to the General Fund.

Memorandum Date: April 12, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Brian Martin, Sheriff/Corner Subject: Adopt Proclamation designating the Week of April 10th -16th, 2022 as National Public Safety Dispatchers Week. Executive Summary: DESIGNATING THE WEEK OF APRIL 10-16, 2022 AS NATIONAL PUBLIC SAFETY DISPATCHERS WEEK WHEREAS, emergencies can occur at any time that require law enforcement, fire or emergency medical services; and WHEREAS, when an emergency occurs, the prompt response of law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency medical professionals is critical to the protection of life and preservation of property; and WHEREAS, the safety of our law enforcement officers and fire personnel is dependent upon the quality and accuracy of Information obtained from citizens who telephone the Lake County Central Dispatch Center; and WHEREAS, Public Safety Dispatchers are the first, and can be the most critical, contact our citizens have with emergency services, and are the vital link for our law enforcement officers and fire personnel by monitoring their activities by radio providing them with information and insuring their safety; and WHEREAS, the Public Safety Dispatchers of the Lake County Sheriff's Office have contributed substantially to the apprehension of criminals, suppression of fires and treatment of patients, exhibiting compassion, understanding and professionalism during the performance of their job. NOW, THERFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED that the Lake County Board of Supervisors does, hereby designate the week of April 10-16, 2022 as National Public Safety Dispatchers Week in Lake County and encourages all citizens to join in recognizing the commitment of public safety dispatchers in our communities to preserve the safety of us all.

Memorandum Date: April 12, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Brian L. Martin, Sheriff/Coroner Subject: a) Approve purchase of the thirty four (34) Dell 5430 Rugged Mobile Data Computer and authorize the Sheriff or his designee to issue a purchase order in an amount not to exceed $110,000; and b) Authorize the Sheriff or his designee to issue a purchase order to Precision Wireless for the removal and installation of the units in each patrol vehicle in an amount not to exceed $30,000; and c) Approve the budget transfer into object code 62.74 for the capital asset Executive Summary: The Lake County Sheriff's Office purchased twenty eight (28) BMS Data911 M7, Mobile Data Computers (MDC's) in 2014. The total cost at that time was over three hundred thousand dollars. The Data911 computers are fixed mounted in Sheriff's Office patrol vehicles. The addition of the MDC's allowed patrol staff to access the Sheriff's Office RIMS/CAD system while in the field. Deputies were able to see pending calls for service, communicate with dispatch and other deputies via the computer system, lessening radio traffic. With the addition of the Data911 M7's, deputies are able to complete data entry and complete reports from their vehicles. Each M7 is equipped with GPS and an emergency key. The GPS system allows Central Dispatch and all on duty deputies to know the location of each vehicle via the Sheriff's Office RIMSmaps program. The emergency key, allows a deputy in a critical incident to notify dispatch and all on duty deputies of an emergency request for assistance by the deputy. The Sheriff's Office's current BMS Data911 M7's are approaching end of life, are no longer being produced / supported by BMS, and require replacement. The Sheriff's Office has completed a sealed bid and identified the Dell 5430 Rugged laptop as a suitable replacement for the BMS Data911 M7's. The Dell 5430 Rugged laptops are equipped with the same features as the M7's, with the additional capability of being removed from the patrol vehicles. This additional feature will allows deputies to complete data entry and report completion from an unlimited number of locations. While in the vehicle, the laptops are locked to the docking station, preventing theft. Additionally the laptops will be equipped with two factor authentication, allowing for access to California Department of Justice databases. The Sheriff's Office is requesting the Board of Supervisors approval for the purchase of the thirty four (34) Dell 5430 Rugged Laptop's and required equipment to include installation, as shown on the attached spread sheet. Estimated costs for removing the existing systems from vehicles and installing the new systems are included. Total anticipated costs are $138,048.89. The Sheriff's Office has requested the use of cannabis funds from the Law Enforcement section of the policy.

Memorandum Date: April 12, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Crystal Markytan, Social Services Director Subject: Approve Contract between County of Lake and North Coast Opportunities, Inc. for the Housing Support Program, for the term of December 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 in the amount of $774,816.00, and authorize the Chair to sign. Executive Summary: North Coast Services, Inc. (NCO), has successfully operated the Housing Support Program (HSP) in partnership with Social Services since 2019. This program is funded through an allocation from the California Department of Social Services (CDSS). Lake County Ordinance 3109 established competitive purchasing requirements for all contracts and purchases. Section 2-38.2(3)(B) of this Ordinance details that competitive bidding is required every 3 years. Social Services wishes to execute a short-term Contract with NCO through the end of the current fiscal year, June 30, 2022, in order to allow ample time to complete a new bid solicitation. When the last RFP was issued in 2018, NCO was the only Contractor to submit a bid for the HSP Program. DSS is currently processing the RFP for HSP Services for the Contract period beginning on July 1, 2022. The most recent Contract allows for month-to-month continuation of services and payment after expiration, but DSS has recently been made aware that the County Auditor will not make any payment for services longer than one quarter beyond the date of Contract expiration. Additionally, DSS was notified through the All County Welfare Directors Letter (ACWDL) issued on December 13, 2021 that CDSS intends to increase the allocation for FY 21/22 to $774,816. With the original Contract being expired as of June 30, 2021, and therefore not able to be amended for the funding increase, and month-to-month continuation no longer allowed, a new short-term Contract is needed to continue to pay NCO for services currently being provided to program participants. This Contract has been delayed in coming to your Board for many reasons, including the late announcement of funding for HSP from CDSS. Unfortunately, Social Services has no control over the release date of CDSS County Fiscal Letters and funding announcements. Together with North Coast Opportunities, Inc., Social Services will provide resources to support CalWORKs clients that experience chronic and repetitive homelessness. The program will continue to provide rental assistance and other supportive services to help participants find and retain long-term housing.

Memorandum Date: April 12, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Housing Authority From: a) Anita L. Grant, County Counsel b) Bruno Sabatier, District 2 Supervisor Subject: (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 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.

BACKGROUND The appellant is appealing the Planning Commission's November 18, 2021 3-1 approval (four Planning Commissioners present) of a Major Use Permit (19-36) to permit a commercial cannabis cultivation major use permit and mitigated negative declaration of the following uses located at 2050 and 2122 Ogulin Canyon Road, Clearlake, CA 95423, APN's 010-053-01 and 010-053-02. * Fifteen (15) A-Type 3 "outdoor" licenses totaling 816,750 sq. ft. cultivation (18.75 acres) and 653,400 sq. ft. of total canopy (15 acres) on five (5) sites: o Site A. Northwestern Hops Field (with a cultivation area of 5.09 acres) o Site B. Southwest Clearing (with a cultivation area of 6.56 acres) o Site C. Northeast Hops Field (with a cultivation area of 1.45 acres) o Site D. Central Hops Field (with a cultivation area of 3.72 acres) o Site E. Chaparral Clearing (with a cultivation area of 1.92 acres) * Sites A through D would include temporary 20' x 100' (2,000 square feet) hoop-houses that are of simple construction that will not require lighting. The hoop-houses are intended to provide protection for cannabis plants, and would be used on an as-needed basis and dismantled at the end of each growing season * Portable toilets, trash enclosures, vegetation waste storage areas, 2,500-gallon water storage tanks at five cultivation areas, Conex shipping containers and/or 8'x 8' storage sheds (or similar) for storage of pesticides, fertilizers, and hazardous materials * A 1.5 acres onsite nursery within an existing barn and shade structures * One (1) renovated 10' x 30' shipping container to house security equipment and camera monitors * 6' tall security wire fencing that will be secured by locked gates and that will enclose cultivation areas. The applicant was approved for Early Activation (EA) on February 28, 2020 by the County Zoning Administrator. The applicant's lessee subsequently constructed hoop houses on Site A and graded 56,640 square feet of Site B. There was also evidence that trees were removed during the grading of the site. The Code Enforcement Division of the County of Lake's CDD cited the lessee with Notice of Violation and Stop Work Order on May 14, 2020. The applicant was found to be in violation of several conditions outlined in the EA Approval (EA 20-22), including but not limited to: * Condition of Approval four (4) * Condition of Approval Seven (7) * Condition of Approval Nine (9) * Condition of Approval Seventeen (17) Exhibit 14 includes documentation on the violations and remediation. To address the violations, the applicant coordinated with the CDD staff to identify and implement corrective actions, including the removal of the hoop houses, preparation of engineered grading plans, stabilization of the illegal grading area, and installation of storm water management controls to prevent erosion. These plans and associated actions to mitigate the violations were received by the CDD, which were cleared by the CDD on August 8, 2021. No cultivation activities have occurred at the project site since the revocation of the Early Activation. On November 18, 2021 the Use Permit was approved by the Lake County Planning Commission. An appeal to the Board of Supervisors was filed by the appellant on November 24, 2021. The appellant filed the appeal on behalf of at least twelve (12) residents located in the Burns Valley Groundwater Basin area which is located southwest of the said property. The combined parcel area is approximately 302.4 acres and is located on Ogulin Canyon Road in Clearlake. The subject site is within the boundary of the Shorelines Communities Area Plan. The project parcel is within the City of Clearlake's Sphere of Influence/City Limits. Cannabis cultivation is prohibited within 1,000 feet of a City's Sphere of Influence unless the applicant can provide a letter of support from the City of Clearlake. A letter of support from the City of Clearlake was issued on February 24, 2020. A Major Use Permit is required for this project pursuant to compliance with State regulations; the County of Lake General Plan and the Shoreline Communities Area Plan; Article 68, Article 27 Part 27.11 (at), and 51.4 of the County of Lake Zoning Ordinance.

Cannabis cultivation is prohibited within 1,000 feet of the City Sphere of Influence unless the applicant can provide a letter of support from the City. A letter of support from the City of Clearlake was issued on February 24, 2020 and this support letter was issued before the above noted grading violation was issued by the County of Lake CDD. II. APPEAL DISCUSSION SEC. 21-58.30 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPEALS. Decisions of the Planning Commission may be appealed. Response: The appellant submitted written concerns regarding this application on November 24, 2021. (b) Timeliness, form, filing and fee: An appeal of a decision by the Planning Commission shall be filed with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors within seven (7) calendar days of the decision on the prescribed form and accompanied by the applicable fee in the amount to be set by the Board of Supervisors. (Ord. No. 1749, 7/7/1988) Response: This appeal was filed on November 24, 2021 within the appeal period on the correct application form and with the correct application fee. (c) Required documents: An appeal shall be accompanied by a written statement setting forth the grounds upon which the appellant asserts there was an error or abuse of discretion by the Planning Commission. (Ord. No. 1897, 12/7/1989) Response: The appellant submitted a written description of why the appellant believes the Planning Commission erred in its decision to approve this land use permit and CEQA review (IS/MND). The appellants cited several specific aspects of the PC's decision as being deficient. The appellant maintains that the development of existing grape vineyards and additional approved cannabis operations contribute to biological impacts associated with water demand, water use, and the capacity of the groundwater system to recharge, and that the proposed water use for the cultivation of cannabis in said property would have cumulative impacts on water demand, water use and capacity of the groundwater system to recharge. The appellant maintains that the capacity of the groundwater to store and recharge water during the current drought remains unaddressed in the environmental review. The appellant objects to the outdoor growing of cannabis because the site area is within the County's required 1000-foot setback from the City of Clearlake's Sphere of Influence/City Limits, and notes that the Early Activation (EA) permit that was approved by the County in February 2020 was later revoked due to violations of the EA. The argument made by the appellant it its entirety is found as EXHIBIT A1 - APPEAL. 58.32 Effect of filing the appeal: An appeal shall stay the proceedings and effective date of the decision of the Planning Commission until such time as the appeal has been acted on as hereinafter set forth. Response: The Planning Commission approved file no. UP 19-46 on November 18, 2021. The appeal was filed on the 6th day of the appeal period for this action (November 24, 2021). 58.33 Forwarding of record: Prior to the hearing on said appeal, the Planning Department shall transmit to the Board of Supervisors pertinent permit materials including all maps and data and a staff report setting forth the reasons for the decision by the Planning Commission. Response: All applicable documents, maps, Planning Commission staff report, hearing minutes and public testimony received by staff have been included with this Memorandum as EXHIBITS A1 through A16. 58.34 Public hearing and notice: Following the filing of an appeal, the Board of Supervisors shall hold a public hearing on the matter scheduled and noticed as required in Section 57.3. The public hearing shall be de novo and all interested persons may appear and present evidence. Response: A Public Hearing notice will be sent upon submission of this Memo and Exhibits to the Board of Supervisors for Review. Notice will be sent to all known property owners within 750 feet, and persons filing written and emailed comments prior to the Board of Supervisors hearing. III. Project Analysis 1. Article 51.4, Major Use Permits, Findings Required for Approval The Board of Supervisors may approve or deny this appeal. Upholding the appeal would cause the Use Permit and IS/MND to be denied. Denying the appeal would result in the approval or conditional approval of the Major Use Permit and Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Planning Commission's decision was based on its making the following required findings: 1. 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. Response: Commercial Cannabis Cultivation Operation is a permitted use in the "RL" Rural Lands Zoning District as well as the "A" Agricultural district upon issuance of a Major Use Permit pursuant to Article 27 of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance. Prior to the applicant constructing any type of structure(s), the applicant shall obtain the necessary permits from the appropriate Federal, State and/or Local government agencies. The environmental analysis (EXHIBIT A9 - INITIAL STUDY) determined that the use would not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood as all potential impacts have been reduced to less than significant with the incorporated mitigation measures and Conditions of Approval. Potential impacts identified relate to air quality, biological resources, cultural/tribal/ geologic resources, noise and wildfire. Additionally, the Community Development Department would conduct Annual Compliance Monitoring Inspections during the cultivation season to ensure compliance with the approved Property Management Plan and Conditions of Approval, as discussed in detail in the planning commission report dated November 18, 2021. 2. That the site for the project is adequate in size, shape, location, and physical characteristics to accommodate the type of use and level of development proposed. Response: The project site is the former Hops-Meister Farm that included the cultivation of approximately 13.6 acres of hops beginning in 2009. The site has been developed to include farming and agricultural support facilities, including a 1,200 square foot residence, septic system, barn, accessory structures, multiple wells, and irrigation facilities. The said property includes 816,750 square feet of cannabis cultivation and 653,400 square feet canopy coverage. This canopy area represents 4.96% of the 302.40 total acre site. The pre-existing agricultural activities covered a site area of over 18 acres. Other land uses on said property include residential, timberland, and grazing land use activities. The project complies with the 20 acres of land to one acre of canopy stipulation. A deed restriction on each parcel is required for the approved permit Lake Vista Farms, LLC UP 19-36. 3. That the streets, highways and pedestrian facilities are reasonably adequate to safely accommodate the specific proposed use. Response: The project takes access via a gravel driveway from Ogulin Canyon Road through an existing security gate. 4. That there are adequate public or private services, including but not limited to fire protection, water supply, sewage disposal, and police protection to serve the project. Response: This application was routed to all of the affected public and private service providers including Public Works, Special Districts, Environmental Health, and PG&E, and to all area Tribes. Relevant comments may be found in EXHIBIT A3 - 11.18.21 STAFF REPORT, PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, AGENCY AND PUBLIC COMMENTARY. No comments were received that would affect a substantial adverse impact determination. The appellant submitted a written description of why the appellant believes the Planning Commission erred in its decision to approve this land use permit and CEQA review (IS/MND). The appellants cited several specific aspects of the PC's decision as being deficient. The appellant maintains that the development of existing grape vineyards on other parcels and existing approved cannabis operations contribute to biological impacts associated with water demand, water use, and the capacity of the groundwater system to recharge, and that the proposed water use for the cultivation of cannabis in said property would have cumulative impacts on water demand, water use and capacity of the groundwater system to recharge. The appellant maintains that the capacity of the groundwater to store and recharge water during the current drought remains unaddressed in the environmental review. 5. That the project is in conformance with the applicable provisions and policies of this Code, the General Plan and any approved zoning or land use plan. Response: This project is a permitted use in accordance to the Rural Lands (RL) zoning district within the County of Lake's Commercial Cannabis ordinance. The project, as conditioned, meets all requirements and development standards of the Zoning Ordinance. The General Plan and the Shoreline Community Area Plan do not have any provisions for commercial cannabis, but both plans do have provisions for economic development and related policies that the project is consistent with (Please refer to the Staff Report from 11.18.21, section VI Project Analysis). 6. That no violation of Chapters 5, 17, 21, 23 or 26 of the Lake County Code currently exists on the property, unless the purpose of the permit is to correct the violation, or the permit relates to a portion of the property which is sufficiently separate and apart from the portion of the property in violation so as not to be affected by the violation from a public health, safety or general welfare basis. Response: Violations of the County of Lake were remediated as of August 8, 2021. Please refer to EXHIBITS A14 and A13, respectively, VIOLATIONS and REMEDIATION for full details on violation remediation. The Community Development Department has no record of current violations of Chapters 5, 17, 21, 23 or 26 of the Lake County Code for this property. Article 27, sub. (at); Three Required Findings for Commercial Cannabis Approval In addition to the findings required for a Major Use Permit, the following findings are required for approval of a cannabis-specific Use Permit: 1. The proposed use complies with all development standards described in Chapter 21, Article 27, Section 1.i. Response: The Planning Commission found that the project was in compliance with all applicable standards and criteria, or could be brought to full compliance with conditions of approval (Please refer to the Staff Report from 11.18.21, section IX Approval Criteria). 2.

Memorandum Date: April 12, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer Subject: a) Discussion of Cannabis Tax Reform; and b) Consideration of Resolution Amending Cannabis Cultivation Tax Due Dates Executive Summary: On January 25, 2022 your Board considered multiple topics related to cannabis taxes. Your Board provided direction to suspend the pending annual cannabis tax rate increases that would be implemented pursuant to the Consumer Price Index. Your Board provided further direction to postpone the cannabis tax payment due dates until May 15, 2022, and waive the applicable late payment penalties. A resolution implementing this direction was approved on February 1, 2022. On March 8, 2022, your Board considered additional options regarding potential cannabis tax reforms. Your Board directed staff to begin the process of amending the cannabis tax ordinance to change the taxable area from "Cultivation Area" to "Canopy Area." This more narrowly defined area will result in an approximate 15% tax reduction, however this will vary dramatically depending upon each individual circumstance. Today, staff proposes your Board consider, and as appropriate, take action on the following options: 1) Approve Resolution Extending Due Dates for Cultivation Tax As noted above, your Board previously directed that staff return with a resolution authorizing a further postponement of the due date to October 31, 2022, for the 2nd installment of the 2021 cannabis cultivation tax. There was a discussion of setting new due dates going forward, with January 1st and May 1st being proposed. A resolution detailing the proposed tax due dates for implementation is attached for your consideration and approval. 2) Proposed Rate Reductions for Cultivation Tax in 2021 and 2022 Local stakeholders in the cannabis industry have alerted staff to some of the more pressing concerns that have arisen since your Board's March 8th meeting. Decisions will need to be made soon by each operation on whether it is viable to begin cultivation this year. Since the cultivation tax is imposed once any related activity commences, the uncertainty regarding what relief may be potentially available is complicating the ability to make these operational decisions. Staff recommends your Board consider offering relief for the last tax year, 2021, by considering a temporary 50% reduction in cultivation taxes. Your Board could then consider offering relief for cultivation activity in the 2022 tax year with a 50% reduction as well. 3) Direct Staff to Prepare a Resolution Authorizing a Temporary Change in Taxable Area from "Cultivation Area" to "Canopy Area" Staff recommends your Board consider a resolution authorizing the use of canopy area, rather than cultivation area, for the 2022 tax year. This would satisfy the short-term need for certainty within the local cannabis industry, while permitting time for the ordinance to be amended allowing for permanent change. The measures above can help provide time for proposed legislation at the State level to be implemented. The State's cultivation tax can represent upwards of 80% of the cultivation tax burden impacting our local cultivators. One of the other primary concerns conveyed to staff has been the lack of retail outlets for cannabis products, which has already been recognized as a priority for action by the State and is expected to be addressed during this period. Should your Board choose to implement these options there would be an impact on further cannabis related spending, as it would both delay and reduce the receipt of revenue. This proposal represents an effort to balance the need to provide short-term stabilization to the local cannabis industry while minimizing the impact any loss of tax revenue would have on existing funding obligations, as discussed in our March 8th presentation to your Board. Based on the direction of your Board regarding items 2 & 3, staff will prepare the documents for your April 19, 2022 agenda enabling your Board to take action.

Memorandum Date: April 12, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Bruno Sabatier, District 2 Subject: Drought discussion and actions a) Consider Interim Urgency Ordinance Placing a Moratorium on New Agricultural and Cannabis Cultivation Projects b) Consider Letter to Governor Newsom Requesting a Halt on New Cannabis Cultivation Licensing Statewide c) Consider Requesting the Lake County Drought Task Force Discuss, Draft, and Provide Ag/Cannabis Guidelines During Drought Conditions d) Discussion of Other Actions Regarding Drought Executive Summary: As we know, we are facing an unprecedented, modern day, drought. A recent study states that this drought "represents the largest Southwestern North American area to experience a top-five 22 year drought-severity ranking in at least 1,200 years." On March 15, Water Resources presented about our current drought conditions sharing with us that lake levels may get close to 1976/77 lake levels, one of our worst documented droughts of our recent past. Last year, we approved a water truck ordinance due to the number of water trucks moving water around our county. For some it was for drinking water to those who could no longer pull water out of their wells, for others these deliveries also included other activities such as providing water to illegal cannabis grows. The number of trucks was alarming enough to create an ordinance restricting their activities, but proof nonetheless that this drought has impacted our groundwater and not just our lake. Bottom line, Lake County needs to do a better job of conserving water and not adding any new burden to an already stressed water system any more than it already is. A) Agriculture and cannabis is a part of Lake County. While walnuts and pears are decreasing their acreage in Lake County, we have seen a continued increase in vineyards and quick increase in cannabis acreage. In 2018, total vineyard acres were 9,254 and in 2020 it increased to 9,584, a total of 330 acre increase occurred. Cannabis started in 2018 with less than 20 acres and has climbed to approximately 272 acres in 2021, an approximately 252 acre increase. Adding more agricultural operations and cannabis cultivation projects to a 22 year drought that is currently exhibiting severe drought conditions is not appropriate. We do not know how much longer this drought will continue. We know that all water purveyors struggled last year, and this year is not proving to be any different. I propose a 45 day moratorium on new projects relating to agriculture and cannabis due to the drought with possible extensions in the future. During this time, I hope we can come up with greater measures to protect and conserve our water, please see Part C of this item. Agricultural operations converting native land to ag land will be prohibited under this moratorium. Both cannabis cultivation and agricultural operation projects who have already had their projects sent to the State Clearing House can continue with their approval process, but all other projects will be not be allowed to obtain approval until the moratorium has been lifted. Projects can and will continue their process towards approval, this way when the moratorium is over (hopefully the drought as well) then projects will be ready to be approved. B) I am requesting that the Board review and approve a letter to Governor Newsom asking that the state follow our example from Part A of this agenda item, and pause providing more cannabis cultivation licenses until the state finds itself in a better drought situation. Our traditional ag, as well as cannabis cultivations that have been approved, are impacted by each new acre of cannabis being approved. The state needs to take the drought into consideration over the need for more taxes. The state has been in a surplus the last two years and should focus on long term issues and long term solutions while the drought persists. C) During our April 5th Board of Supervisors meeting we requested to realign the Lake County Drought Task Force to work on a comprehensive plan, the final makeup of this Task Force will be coming back to a future agenda item, possibly by the end of the month. I would like the board to give the Lake County Drought Task Force the direction to come up with new drought guidelines for agriculture and cannabis as well as new standards for hydrology reports as well as review standards. By creating these new guidelines and standards, we can continue to approve future ag and cannabis projects with an elevated standard to meet so that their activities will be successful and not have a cumulative impact to neighboring areas whether or not there is a drought. D) Discussion on future drought actions needed to be taken such as: illegal grows and its illegal use of our ground water or lake water and the need to make an impact this year, the need to regulate commercial water sales, the need for enforcement on drought issues.
