Memorandum Date: April 19, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Anita L.

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).

MEMORANDUM TO: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors FROM: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer For Gary Pace, Lake County Health Officer DATE: April 19, 2022 SUBJECT: Consideration of Continuation of a Local Health Emergency by the Lake County Health Officer for the Cache Fire 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.

Mr. Marsh has worked with an all new Management team at Health to provide instruction and consult in duties and delineation of emergency response roles for the health team.

Memorandum Date: April 19, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Updated by Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer Subject: Approve Continuation of a Local Health Emergency Related to the 2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19) as Proclaimed by the Lake County Public Health Officer Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): The declaration was declared on March 9, 2020, by then Public Health Officer Gary Pace, due to the introduction of COVID-19 into the County of Lake. California Health and Safety Code Section 101080 provides authority for the Health Officer to issue a declaration of local health emergency. The authority to discontinue the local health emergency rests with your Board. As your Board is aware, the local health emergencies for all of the wildfire disasters since 2015 have continued well beyond the threat of the immediate disaster. The emergencies are continued during the months following to enable the County's claiming of disaster costs to FEMA and to CalOES, as applicable. County Disaster Finance staff have not been able to get a definitive answer from FEMA regarding the impacts of discontinuing the local health emergency and recommends that as long as we continue to incur and claim costs relating to COVID, that the local health emergency remain active. There are no COVID-related local restrictions associated with the local health emergency, so while the declaration can remain in place to ensure recovery of associated costs, there is no impact on the public by having it continue. Finally, in checking with other counties regarding their comparable declarations, the vast majority responding indicated they are continuing their local health emergencies for the reasons described herein and in fact, many have tied their local health emergencies to the State of California, meaning that when the State terminates its local health emergency, the counties will follow suit.

Memorandum Date: April 19, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Brian L. Martin, Sheriff/Coroner/OES Director Subject: Approve Continuation of a Proclamation of Emergency Declaration for Drought Conditions Executive Summary: Pursuant to Chapter 6, Article 1 of the Lake County Code empowers the Director of Emergency Services to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a local emergency when Lake County is affected by, or likely to be affected by a public calamity and the Board of Supervisors is not in session. During the existence of this local emergency, the powers, functions and duties of the Director of Emergency Services and the emergency organization of the County shall be those prescribed by state law, and by ordinance and resolutions of this County, approved by the Board of Supervisors, and by the Lake Operational Area Emergency Operations Plan, as approved by the Board of Supervisors. On April 21, 2021, the Governor of the State of California proclaimed a State of Emergency for the Counties of Sonoma and Mendocino due to extremely low reservoir levels and drought conditions. Inasmuch, Lake County water table levels are at significantly to critically low levels and are being continuously monitored. Based upon low water levels, the County may have to consider measures to address the water shortages. These measures may include taking steps to conserve water by practicing water conservation efforts, including, but not limited to repairing leaking plumbing, limiting non-essential watering, limiting car washing, filling bathtubs halfway or less, using high-efficient appliances, reducing shower times, only washing full loads of laundry, turning off water when brushing teeth or shaving, planting drought resistant landscaping and implementing other practices that reduce water consumption. Short or long-term solutions are costly; however, the County may be eligible for State or Federal assistance should the need arise to address drought issues if conditions persist. Therefore, the declaration of an emergency will allow the County to qualify for funding that has been specifically set aside for drought relief purposes. Programs within the State focus on ground water management, conservation and recapture/recycle initiatives. By declaring a local emergency, the County is taking a pro-active approach to address drought related disaster issues. In addition, with the adoption of a proclamation declaring a state of local emergency, State law requires the Board of Supervisors to review the status of the emergency at least once every 30 days.

Memorandum Date: April 19, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Crystal Markytan, Director, Social Services Subject: Approve Contract between County of Lake and North Coast Opportunities, Inc. for the Housing and Disability Advocacy Program, from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024, and authorize the Chair to sign. Executive Summary: The Housing and Disability Advocacy Program (HDAP) targets individuals who are disabled or likely disabled, are not receiving disability benefits but may be eligible to, and who are experiencing homelessness, giving highest priority to chronically homeless individuals or individuals who are homeless and rely most heavily on government funded services. Using the Housing First approach, HDAP aims to assist eligible individuals by finding and maintaining stabilized permanent housing while providing disability income advocacy services. HDAP is a competitive grant awarded to Lake County Social Services, funded by the California Department of Social Services (CDSS), which offers more housing opportunities for one of our community's most at risk populations. Social Services issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) #20-06, which ran from February 3, 2020 to March 20, 2020. North Coast Opportunities, Inc. (NCO) was the only entity to submit a proposal. They have successfully operated HDAP since 2020. NCO will continue to guide and assist participants through various disability income application processes, including Social Security, while ensuring participants remain housed throughout the determination process with the ultimate goal of obtaining permanent housing. For Fiscal Year 2021-2022, CDSS requires a dollar-for-dollar match, and the entirety of the match funds will continue to be provided by NCO. CDSS has issued an allocation of $167,162, meaning total program funding with match dollars for this FY is $334,324. The County Fiscal Letter providing the grant details - including match requirement information - was not issued until February of 2022, which caused significant delays in our contract drafting process, and ultimately led to the delay in bringing the Contract before your Board for approval. CDSS also released details regarding additional non-competitive funding that will be issued to Lake County once we expend the current allocation. This new round of funding, in the amount of $296,671, is eligible to be expended from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024, and will not require any match funds. Due to these budget intricacies, the Contract required very specific wording, which prevented DSS from completing the draft before the allocation was released by the State.

Memorandum Date: April 19, 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 19, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Todd Metcalf, Director Behavioral Health Services Subject: Presentation of Lake County Behavioral Health Services' FY 2021-22 External Quality Review Final Report. Executive Summary: The United States Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires an annual, independent external evaluation of Medi-Cal Managed Care Organizations by an External Quality Review Organization (EQRO). The EQRO conducts an analysis and evaluation of aggregate information on access, timeliness, and quality of health care services furnished by Prepaid Inpatient Health Plans (PIHPs) and their contractors to recipients of Medi-Cal managed care services. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) specifies the EQRO requirements (42 CFR � 438, subpart E), and CMS develops protocols to guide the annual EQRO process; the most recent protocol was updated in 2019. The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) contracts with 56 county Mental Health Plans (MHP) to provide specialty mental health services (SMHS) to Medi-Cal beneficiaries under the provisions of Title XIX of the federal Social Security Act. As PIHPs, the CMS rules apply to each Medi-Cal MHP. DHCS contracts with Behavioral Health Concepts, Inc., the EQRO to review and evaluate the care provided to the Medi-Cal beneficiaries. Additionally, DHCS requires the EQRO to evaluate MHPs on the following: delivery of SMHS in a culturally competent manner, coordination of care with other healthcare providers, beneficiary satisfaction, and services provided to Medi-Cal eligible minor and non-minor dependents in foster care as per California SB 1291 (Section 14717.5 of the Welfare and Institutions Code). EQRO also considers the state requirements pertaining to Network Adequacy as set forth in California AB 205. This report presents the FY 2021-22 findings of the EQRO for Lake County MHP by Behavioral Health Concepts, Inc., conducted as a virtual review on December 9 and 16, 2021.

Memorandum Date: April 19, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Mary Darby, Community Development Director Sateur Ham, Assistant Planner (Former Planner) Subject: Greg Hanson General Plan Amendment (GPAP 20-02), Rezone; (RZ 20-02), Initial Study (IS 20-91) Executive Summary: The applicant/owner Greg Hanson is requesting a Rezone from "A" Agricultural" to "M2" Heavy Industrial, and a General Plan Amendment from "Agricultural" to "Industrial" of approximately �7 acres of undeveloped land located at 3555 and 3445 Big Valley Road, Kelseyville, CA 95451; known as the Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs): 008-038-17 and 008-038-44. The remaining portion of the project parcel will remain with the Land Use Designation of Agriculture and the existing agricultural use will remain undisturbed. The project parcels are/will be accessed from existing unimproved roadways off of Big Valley Road, a County maintained roadway. The applicant shall obtain all necessary permits from the Lake County Department of Public Works for any work and/or improvements within the right-of-way. The portions of the parcels to be rezoned are vacant and will not be developed at this time. When the applicant develops the subject parcel in the near feasible future, they will obtain all necessary Federal, State, and local agency permits, including additional environmental analysis if necessary. 12/21/2022 Board of Supervisors Action Sateur Ham a former Assistant Planner with the County of Lake Community Development Department presented this case before the Board of Supervisors on 12/21/21. After the review of the project, the Board determined that the representation of the requested lot split area was not represented as clearly as possible. Therefore, a decision was made to continue to this item toa future date to allow staff time to make appropriate revisions to the request for a General Plan Amendment and the rezoning of the property. 05/27/2021 Planning Commission Actions A public hearing was held before the Lake County Planning Commission on May 27, 2021, regarding the proposed project. During the hearing, there was one inquiry regarding increased traffic for future development, what type of development will occur, and converting �7 acres of non-usable agricultural lands to commercial. The representative Brian Hanson addressed these concerns by explaining due to the Community Growth Boundary and current restrictions, using the �7 acres of land for agricultural purposes is challenging and not feasible. Therefore, the applicant is requesting the General Plan Amendment and Rezone to expand the commercial corridor within the Kelseyville corridor. By allowing this expansion, it would extend the corridor to Big Valley Road and be consistent with the zoning in the immediate vicinity. Mr. Hanson indicated he wants to help bring an economic use that would be beneficial to both parties and create economic growth through employment opportunities, taxes, etc., for a growing County. Mr. Hanson indicated they do intend to develop the �7 acres for commercial use and will obtain all necessary Federal, State, and local agency permits, including further environmental analysis if necessary. On May 27, 2021, the Lake County Planning Commission recommended the Board of Supervisors takes the following actions: * Approve General Plan Amendment (GPAP 20-02) * Approve Rezone (RZ 20-02) * To adopt a Negative Declaration based on environmental analysis (Initial Study, IS 20-91) per CEQA Guidelines. Existing Uses and Improvements: The two existing parcels are currently developed with single-family dwellings, agricultural uses, and supporting accessory structures. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: * North: "A"-Agricultural and are developed with vineyards, orchards, single-family residences, and supporting infrastructure. The parcel sizes range from approximately five (5) to greater than fifty (50) acres. * South: "A"-Agricultural and "PCD"-Planned Development Commercial and are developed with Kelseyville Lumber Commercial Operation, vineyards, orchards, single-family residences, and supporting infrastructure. The parcel sizes range from approximately ten (10) to greater than forty (40) acres. * East: "M2" Heavy Industrial and "A"-Agricultural and are developed with a variety of light to heavy industrial uses (rental yards, storage, etc.), vineyards, orchards, single-family residences, and supporting infrastructure. The parcel sizes range from approximately five (5) to greater than forty (40) acres. * West: "A"-Agricultural and are developed with vineyards, orchards, a small active commercial cannabis operation, single-family residences, and processing buildings. The parcel size is approximately 50 acres. General Plan Amendment Request: The applicant is requesting approval of a General Plan Amendment of APN 008-038-17 and 008-038-44 from "A" Agriculture to "I" Industrial for approximately �7 acres (an area that fronts Big Valley Road). All other areas of project parcels will remain designated as "Agriculture". Refer to the table below for details. Additionally, no current agriculture activities will be impacted and/or removed. Parcel Number Current General Plan Designation ~ 36 acres Proposed General Plan Designation to Split Lot ~ 7 acres 008-038-17 and 008-038-44 "A" Agricultural "I" Industrial Rezone Request: The applicant is requesting approval of a Rezone of �7 acres of APN 008-038-17 and 008-038- 44 from "A" Agricultural District to "M2" Heavy Industrial District (an area that fronts Big Valley Road). All other areas of project parcels will continue to have a land-use zoning designation of "A" Agricultural. Refer to the table below for details. Additionally, no current agriculture activities will be impacted and/or removed. Parcel Number Current Zoning Designation ~ 36 acres Proposed Zoning Designation to Split Lot ~ 7 acres 008-038-17 and 008-038-44 "A" Agricultural "M2" Heavy Industrial District Senate Bill (SB) 18 and Legal Noticing SB 18: Senate Bill 18 (Chapter 905, Statutes of 2004) requires Lake County to notify the local Tribal Organizations allowing them to request a "Tribal Consultation" when amending and/or adopting a Rezone, General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan, etc. * The County has met these requirements and staff did not receive any Tribal Consultation Request and/or adverse comments. Legal Noticing: The County has met this requirement as all legal noticing were sent to the surrounding property owners within 700 feet of the project's boundaries, including being posted in the Lake County News pursuant to Article 52 of the Zoning Ordinance. I. Project Analysis General Plan Conformance The project is located within the Kelseyville Area Plan and is designated as "Agriculture" in the Lake County General Plan. The General Plan contains policies related to "A" Agricultural and the proposed land use designation of "I" Industrial in regards to development (such as Land Use Goal 4 and its associated policies) that would apply to future development within the Industrial General Plan Designation of approximately +/- 7 undeveloped acres (along Big Valley Road). It is not specific to the requested entitlements at this time. However, the following Goals and Policies apply to the General Plan Amendment and Rezone request. Kelseyville Area Plan Conformance The need for increased local employment opportunities was among the issues discussed by the Community Planning Advisory Committee during the development of the Kelseyville Area Plan. The Committee also expressed a desire to retain Main Street as the central business district, and to discourage new commercial development in other areas of the community that would detract from the viability of the commercial center. Commercial uses such as offices, restaurants, wholesale sales, and similar uses would be appropriate in these areas. Uses that could benefit from highway visibility such as vehicle sales, factory outlets, and restaurants should be encouraged in those commercial areas adjoining Highway 29. Zoning Ordinance Conformance Currently, the project parcels [008-038-17 (approximately 2.23 acres) and 008-038-44 (approximately 38.54 acres)] are zone "A" Agricultural. The applicant seeks to rezone approximately +/-7 undeveloped acres (portions that front Big Valley Road) to "M2" Heavy Industrial to allow for future economic development that is consistent along Big Valley Road. The remaining acreage of the project parcels will remain designated as "A" Agricultural. The applicant will not be removing any existing agricultural uses. Environmental Evaluation (IS 20-91) The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires agencies to evaluate the environmental implications of land use actions. An Initial Study (IS 20-91) and Negative Declaration was prepared and circulated for public review in compliance with CEQA from December 10, 2020, through January 14, 2021. Staff did not receive any comments objecting to the project. The Initial Study was prepared and found that the Rezone and General Plan Amendment would not have any impact on the environment, as no development is proposed at this time. However, CEQA requires analysis of all reasonably foreseeable development or project components that may occur on-site in the future. Therefore, potential development of the parcels was analyzed at a general level and it was determined that future development would not have any potential impacts on the environment, as the area requesting the land use designation change (approximately �7 acres-front Big Valley Road) has been continuously and routinely maintained (tilling/disking of soil and brush/grass removal to reduce potential fire hazards) for over thirty (30) years. In addition, there is light to heavy industrial uses within the surrounding zoning designation of "M2" Heavy Industrial. II. FINDINGS REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL General Plan Amendment 1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan, and the Kelseyville Area Plan. The project is consistent with the General Plan policies, as the proposed the General Plan Amendment of approximately �7 undeveloped acres (along Big Valley Road) from "A" Agriculture to "I" Industrial would not only extend the existing "I" Industrial General Plan Designation along Big Valley Road, but it would allow and/or encourage the development of commercial centers within Community Growth Boundary, including bringing employment opportunities to residents. According to the Lake County General Plan and Kelseyville Area Plan, this is highly desired. The surrounding area is developed with various light to heavy industrial commercial uses and agricultural uses (vineyards, orchards, and supporting agricultural services). Additionally, the project parcels are centrally located and less than 1.25 miles from State Highway 29, a major corridor for economic development. To date, the County has processed one General Plan Amendment in the 2021 calendar year, making this General Plan Amendment the second this year. 2. That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use applied for will not under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, or be detrimental to property and improvements in the neighborhood or the general welfare of the County. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the County, because the amendment facilitates a logical and orderly expansion of surrounding land use destinations. The proposed General Plan Amendment has been reviewed by the County surveyor, Sherriff's Department, Fire Marshal, and various local, state, and federal agencies for health and safety concerns. Staff did not receive any adverse comments regarding this project. Additionally, the project has adequate emergency service through the Lake County Sheriff's Office, California Highway Patrol, Kelseyville Fire Protection District, and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. 3. This project will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts. The Initial Study (IS 20-91) found that the Rezone and General Plan Amendment would not have any impact on the environment, as no development is proposed at this time. However, CEQA requires analysis of all reasonably foreseeable development or project components that may occur on-site in the future. Therefore, potential development of the parcels was analyzed at a general level and it was determined that future development would not have any impact on the environment, as the area requesting the land use designation change (approximately �7 acres - front Big Valley Road) has been continuously and routinely maintained for over thirty (30) years. In addition, there is light to heavy industrial uses within the surrounding zoning designation of "M2" Heavy Industrial. However, if future development occurs and depending on the intensity of the proposed use further environmental analysis may be required. Rezone Amendment: 1. That the project is in conformance with the applicable provisions and policies of this Code, the General Plan, Lake County Zoning Ordinance, and any approved zoning or land use plan. The heavy industrial uses and agricultural uses are existing and are permitted within the M2 and A zoning designations. The proposed Rezone would require a General Plan Amendment, in compliance with the Lake County Zoning Ordinance; the applicant has provided all information required in Article 47 to process the Rezone. The proposed Parcel Map is consistent with all applicable development standards in the Zoning Ordinance. In addition, all future development will have to adhere to requirements within the aforementioned plans and codes. The applicant has submitted all required information for the Rezone application. With the approval of the requested entitlements, the project is in conformance with the General Plan, Kelseyville Area Plan, or Zoning Ordinance. 2. This project will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts. The Initial Study (IS 20-91) found that the Rezone and General Plan Amendment would not have any impact on the environment, as no development is proposed at this time. However, CEQA requires analysis of all reasonably foreseeable development or project components that may occur on-site in the future.

In addition, there is light to heavy industrial uses within the surrounding zoning designation of "M2" Heavy Industrial. However, if future development occurs and depending on the intensity of the proposed use further environmental analysis may be required. 3. That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use applied for will not under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, or be detrimental to property and improvements in the neighborhood or the general welfare of the County. The proposed Rezone Amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the County, because the Rezone Amendment facilitates a logical and orderly expansion of surrounding land use destinations. The proposed Rezone Amendment has been reviewed by the County surveyor, Sherriff's Department, Fire Marshal, and various local, state, and federal agencies for health and safety concerns. Staff did not receive any adverse comments regarding this project. Additionally, the project has adequate emergency service through the Lake County Sheriff's Office, California Highway Patrol, Kelseyville Fire Protection District, and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Environmental Evaluation (CEQA Initial Study): 1. The Initial Study and Negative Declaration have been prepared in conformance with CEQA and all CEQA requirements have been adequately met for the project. An Initial Study and Negative Declaration (IS 20-91; Exhibit A) was prepared and circulated for public review and comments in compliance with CEQA from December 10, 2020, through January 14, 2021. Two public comments objecting to the project were received. All requirements of CEQA Guidelines Article 5 for preparation of an Initial Study, and Article 6 for consideration and adoption of a negative declaration, have been met. 2. This project is consistent with the Lake County General Plan, Kelseyville Area Plan, and the Lake County Zoning Ordinance. As described above in General Plan and Rezone Amendment Finding No. 1, the project is consistent with the Lake County General Plan, Kelseyville Area Plan, and the Lake County Zoning Ordinance. 3. This project is consistent with land uses in the vicinity. The project parcels, as well as parcels in the vicinity, are currently developed with single-family homes, agricultural uses, and light to heavy industrial and commercial uses consistent with the surrounding land use, including the proposed rezone and general plan amendment of approximately +/7 acres (along Big Valley Road). The Rezone Amendment and the General Plan Amendment would create economic development opportunities within the Community Growth Boundary of Kelseyville, consistent with surrounding parcels zoned "M2" Heavy Industrial along the Big Valley Road. All future development shall adhere to all local, state, and federal regulations to ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses. 4. This project will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts. The Initial Study (IS 20-91) found that the Rezone and General Plan Amendment would not have any impact on the environment, as no development is proposed at this time. However, CEQA requires analysis of all reasonably foreseeable development or project components that may occur on-site in the future. Therefore, potential development of the parcels was analyzed at a general level and it was determined that future development would not have any impact on the environment, as the area requesting the land use designation change (approximately �7 acres - front Big Valley Road) has been continuously and routinely maintained for over thirty (30) years. In addition, there is light to heavy industrial uses within the surrounding zoning designation of "M2" Heavy Industrial. However, if future development occurs and depending on the intensity of the proposed use further environmental analysis may be required.

Memorandum Date: April 19, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Eddie Crandell, Chair, District 3 Supervisor Subject: Consideration of a Presentation by Ygrene Energy Fund on Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Programs, as an Element of a County Economic Development Strategy Executive Summary: As you are aware, Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing is a means by which energy efficiency, renewable energy, water conservation and storm protection building improvements can be undertaken at no upfront cost to the property owner. Payments are generally made over 5-30 years, through an assessment added to the owner's property taxes. Where permitted by local governments, PACE funding can be accessed for upgrades to for commercial, residential, multifamily and/or agricultural buildings; more than 50 California Counties have some form of active PACE program. Within the industry, it is common to frame PACE programs as an element of a County's Economic Development strategy. Glyn Milburn of Ygrene Energy Fund will present background on PACE programs, broadly, and also describe the benefits of Commercial PACE programs, specifically. Today's presentation, is informational, only. If there is consensus among our Board to further explore implementation of PACE in Lake County, Mr. Milburn can return with additional information and draft enabling documents.

Memorandum Date: April 19, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Marina Deligiannis, Deputy Water Resources Department Director and Angela DePalma-Dow, Invasive Species Program Coordinator. Subject: Consideration of a Presentation by US EPA Region 9 staff of the Sulphur Bank Mercury Mine Superfund Site. The site's Project Manager, Carter Jessop, Karen Jurist, and Community Involvement Coordinator Gavin Pauley will be leading the presentation to provide an update on the site and EPA's upcoming recommended cleanup plan ("Proposed Plan") and Opportunities for Community Engagement. Executive Summary: As your Board is aware, The Sulphur Bank Mercury Mine Site, located in south District 3, along the shoreline of Clear Lake, was added to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) Superfund Clean Up program in 1990. For more information view, the site webpage at: www.epa.gov/superfund/sulphurbankmercury The Superfund program aims to clean up the nation's most contaminated land, return the land to beneficial use and assign cleanup costs to those responsible for any contamination, whenever possible. For additional information regarding the Superfund Program, please visit: https://www.epa.gov/superfund/what-superfund The 160-acre site, while having undergone several clean up and mercury mitigation activities, is still concerning, as a source of mercury contamination in Clear Lake, and it represents a direct risk for anyone entering the property. Mercury contamination that leaches into Clear Lake sediments is absorbed into the food chain, impacting fish and other organisms. This impact has direct consequences for the fishing industry, which is vital to the economic sustainability and well-being of Lake County. The contamination from the mine site also directly impacts Tribal communities, including Elem Indian Colony, adjacent to the site. US EPA is preparing to release its recommended cleanup plan ("Proposed Plan") to the public in 2022, and wants to provide your Board, and the Lake County public, opportunity to learn how to access this plan, and participate and collaborate in upcoming meetings; raising public awareness through a Board of Supervisors update was a priority Action Item that emerged from a 2021 virtual public feedback process. This presentation will provide information on, and answer questions regarding: a) Sulphur Bank Mine Superfund site updates; b) Planned Outreach to engage and involve the community; and c) The process surrounding, and opportunities to comment on, the cleanup plan. This presentation will not cover all aspects of the plan, but will prepare your Board and the public to access the plan and engage with US EPA before the plan is finalized and implemented. Please see the attached "2021 Sulphur Bank Superfund Site Cleanup Update" Factsheet for more information on the site. Water Resources will host and introduce the US EPA staff and presentation. US EPA staff Carter Jessop, Karen Jurist and Gavin Pauley will lead this presentation, entertain any questions that may arise from your Board or the public.

Memorandum Date: April 19, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer Subject: a) Consideration of a presentation Regarding Department Head-Identified Opportunities to Improve Employee Recruitment and Retention; andb) Consideration of Recommended Revisions to County Personnel Rules Executive Summary: As you will recall, Department Heads and Administration presented a State of the County Report during your Board's Annual Governance Workshop (March 11, 2022). At that time, your Board was further advised we had been collaborating to develop an array of strategies to encourage talented staff to build their careers with our organization. Discussion surrounding employee retention and recruitment, and reduction of long-standing high vacancy rates, began with planning sessions involving all Department Heads. The ideas and needs raised were further explored and refined by the Classification, Compensation, Recruitment and Retention Committee (CCRR). Discussion topics were applicant- and employee-focused, and included: For applicants Policy change to improve candidate interviewing processes, and better calibrate the need for pre-employment physicals Enhanced recruiting efforts, beginning with training on how to better utilize social media to broaden candidate pools Skills testing for applicants (e.g. Microsoft Office, Excel, PowerPoint), where appropriate For current employees A new streamlined employee performance evaluation form Human Resources-hosted training, to: * Prepare Supervisors to meet current workforce challenges and support employee success * Systematize recruitment-related data collection in NeoGov, enhancing understanding of recruitment and retention patterns and concerns * Continue leadership development among current staff In the weeks since, Human Resources staff sent out a recruitment survey and invested in preparing policy changes for the consideration of your Board. Today, staff recommends policy changes to streamline candidate interviewing processes and better calibrate pre-employment physical requirements, as follows: 1. Improve Recruitment Rules and Candidate interview processes Recruitment Rules Summary of Changes: We simplified the recruitment rules to make them easier to comprehend. Promotional Only recruitments will now be available for active Permanent and Extra Help County employees. Based on department input we have made additions to disqualifications - Department Head's may now request that the HR Director disqualify applicants from an eligibility list if in the last year: * The department has interviewed the applicant twice and has determined the applicant does not meet the departments need. * The applicant has applied to multiple positions and has failed to show up for interview. * Qualified applicants who have been previous County employees and quit / walked off the job without providing notice. Unranked Untested eligibility lists will now include up to 15 qualified applicants which will reduce the number of panel interviews and speed up the recruitment process. If a recruitment (per one vacancy) has a total of 15 qualified applicants or less, Departments may request an unranked untested eligibility list which has been screened by HR for minimum qualifications. Departments will be responsible for interviewing ALL qualified applicants at the department level, Applicant Testing: Human Resources will work with Departments to determine what applicant testing to conduct: Oral, Written, Performance, Physical Agility or Supplemental Question Testing. Oral Interviews - Departments have flexibility on the panel composition which now allows them to pick a subject matter expert within their department, the Department head has the option to participate in a panel interview, and it is no longer mandatory to have an outside panelist. All panel compositions must still be approved by HR. HR will create and conduct NeoGov training. HR will create interview guide, interview questions handbook, and interview assessment forms to help department's document interview findings and next steps. 2. Pre-employment physicals HR analyzed 15 years of workers comp data and the physical aspects of each job description. Based on the analysis HR is recommending that 50 jobs be changed from a medical exam to a medical questionnaire. (See Attachment B.) Updated Appendix A - Occupation Medical Groups has been updated to reflect the correct Medical Group assigned to the position and the correct job titles. Additionally, while the specific form used for Employee Performance Evaluations is not adopted in policy, staff wishes to review with your Board the streamlined version which has recently been provided to Department Heads. 3.
