Memorandum Date: May 3, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Susan Parker, County Administrative Officer Subject: a) Waive the formal bidding process, pursuant to Lake County Code Section 38.1, as an extension of an annual agreement; and b) Consideration of Agreement for Provision of Satellite Imagery Services By Planet Labs to the County of Lake Executive Summary: In order to better regulate the proliferation of illegal cannabis cultivation multiple counties have employed the use of satellite imagery. This imagery has helped identify these operations and streamline the ability of code enforcement to respond. The counties using this service have contracted with Planet Labs, which has offered previously unavailable services allowing for targeted imaging of certain areas at a designated time, up to the entire boundaries of the County if needed. Lake County is among those jurisdictions being provided funding for this satellite imagery service through a Proposition 64 - Public Health and Safety Grant. The focus of this grant is to support code enforcement operations against unlawful cannabis cultivation. On February 22, 2021, your Board approved a 12-month agreement not to exceed $49,950. A 12-month renewal of this agreement with the same terms is attached. Staff is requesting your Board waive the formal bidding process pursuant to Lake County Code Section 38.1, as it is an extension of an annual agreement. Planet is the designated service provider pursuant to the State's grant, and Code Enforcement staff has worked towards integrating this product's hosted platform into their illegal cannabis cultivation enforcement efforts as proposed in the Proposition 64 grant. Given that the Code Enforcement division is still in the process of rehiring and training staff, it is not recommended that any agreement more expansive in scope be considered at this time. If Code Enforcement staff and other county departments are able to expand the utilization of these services over the course of this upcoming year, staff could then effectively explore procuring more expansive satellite imagery services, including imagery products available through other vendors. On March 1, staff advised your Board that there were a few steps remaining to finalize terms for the agreement. The agreement is attached for your consideration.

The specific group of County employees eligible for the stipend shall be limited to members of the Board of Supervisors, Elected Officials, Department Heads, and County Management employees who have demonstrated such a need and have been approved for the stipend by their Department Head.

Memorandum Date: April 19, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Scott De Leon, Public Works Director Subject: 10:30 A.M. Public Hearing - Consideration of Resolution Vacating an Alley Easement for public use in the area of Middletown Executive Summary: A Resolution of Intent to vacate an unimproved alley easement was adopted by the Board on April 5, 2022 establishing today's hearing. All required notices were posted. 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. If the Board finds, from all evidence presented by interested persons, that the 15' alley being vacated is unnecessary for present or prospective public use then the Board may adopt the Resolution of Vacation.

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.

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.

Memorandum Date: May 3, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Jessica Pyska, Lake County Supervisor, District No. 5 Moke Simon, Lake County Supervisor, District No. 1 Subject: Consideration of Resolution Proclaiming the Existence of a Local Emergency Due to Pervasive Tree Mortality Executive Summary: The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection found that its aerial and group surveys in Napa and Lake County revealed widespread conifer mortality leaving trees vulnerable to insect attacks and fire damage. On March 28, 2022, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order No. 7-77, that states the ongoing drought will have significant immediate impacts on communities. In response, the Lake County Risk Reduction Authority created the Lake County Tree Mortality Task Force established to investigate and address the extensive tree mortality in the County caused primarily by wildfire, drought and insect damage. The Lake County Tree Mortality Task Force members have attended several presentations from individuals with considerable expertise in both entomology and tree mortality, including Forest Advisor Dr. Michael Jones, an entomologist from University of California Cooperative. The overriding message was that failure to actively address tree mortality could result in the potential loss or degradation of forest habitats and associated ecological impacts, including the impact of wildlife, water and soil. And as such, create dangerous wildfire conditions that also threaten the safety of persons and property and will likely extend beyond the capacity of public safety services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of this County. This Resolution requests the following actions from Governor Newsom; 1) Proclaim a State of Emergency in Lake County and other afflicted areas of the State, 2) Seek designation of tree mortality areas within Lake County and other afflicted areas of the State under Section 8204 of the Agriculture Act of 2014 and seek additional Federal program support; and 3) Request a Presidential Declaration of Emergency or Major Disaster for this emergency.

Memorandum Date: May 3, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Carol J. Huchingson, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors Maria Valadez, Registrar of Voters Subject: (a) Discussion of Next Steps to Fill the Role of District 4 Supervisor, to be Vacated by Tina Scott July 31, 2022; (b) Consideration of a Resolution Setting an Election for District 4 Supervisor as Part of the November 8, 2022 Statewide General Election Executive Summary: As your Board is aware, on the morning of April 14, 2022, Lake County's District 4 Supervisor, Tina Scott, announced her intent to resign from her office, effective July 31, 2022. California Government Code Section 25060 directs, "Whenever a vacancy occurs in a board of supervisors, the Governor shall fill the vacancy. The appointee shall hold office until the election and qualification of his or her successor." California Government Code Section 25601 continues, "The election of a supervisor to fill the vacancy for the unexpired term shall be held at the next general election, unless the term expires on the first Monday after January 1st succeeding the election." https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?lawCode=GOV&division=2.&title=3.&part=2.&chapter=1.&article=4. Because the period during which a candidate can provide appropriate documentation to appear on the June Primary Election ballot had elapsed prior to Supervisor Scott's announcement (Elections Code Section 8020), the independent nomination process, as described in Elections Code 8300 et seq., will be employed. Further, while Lake County's Supervisorial Districts were redrawn in December 2021, since Supervisor Scott was elected when previous boundaries were in use, eligibility to vote for District 4 Supervisor in November will be based on those old boundaries (Elections Code Section 21506). Staff has been in contact with appropriate State and Local officials, and will provide an update and invite your discussion of next steps, and consideration of the attached Resolution. Registrar of Voters, Maria Valadez, will be present to answer any technical questions you may have regarding this election process.

Memorandum Date: May 3, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Lars Ewing, Public Services Director Subject: Consideration of an Ordinance Establishing Chapter 31 of the Lake County Code for an Edible Food Recovery Program Executive Summary: Last year staff presented to the Board of Supervisors a summary of the regulations which implement the State's Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy (SB 1383). The regulations, which were adopted by CalRecycle, were designed to reduce statewide landfill disposal of organic waste and include requirements for organic waste recycling and surplus food recovery. Your board has already taken action to approve a rural jurisdiction waiver, which exempts the County from the requirements to provide organic waste collection services, perform organic waste capacity planning, and procure organic waste products. The waiver does not, however, exempt the County from the requirement to establish an edible food recovery program. The state's goal through this component of the regulations is to help meet the statewide target of decreasing by 20% the amount of edible food that is currently wasted (i.e. sent to the landfill), and instead divert that edible food to people in need. To support that goal, the state requires the County's edible food recovery program to consist of the following: 1. Identify commercial edible food generators that are mandated to comply with the regulations 2. Educate all mandated food generators of the requirement to establish donor agreements with food recovery organizations 3. Monitor food donor compliance 4. Assess the county's food recovery capacity, and plan for additional capacity if it is determined to be insufficient 5. Establish an enforcement mechanism for the mandated food generators Numbers 1 and 2 above have been completed, while 3 and 4 are in progress. For number 5, the County is required to adopt an edible food recovery ordinance, and by January 2024 begin enforcing the ordinance in response to violations, for commercial food generators who do not comply with the requirements of the program. What this equates to for Lake County businesses is approximately a dozen grocery stores that will be required to enter into a contract with a food recovery organization for the donation of edible food that otherwise would have been thrown away. Earlier this year staff assembled an informal group of industry representatives to provide input for the establishment of Lake County's edible food recovery program ordinance. The representatives came from the three distinct groups noted in the state regulations: local jurisdictions, food donors, and food recovery organizations.

Memorandum Date: April 20, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Brian L. Martin, Sheriff/Coroner Subject: Notice of Public Hearing on June 7, 2022 regarding AB481, California Government Code 7070-7075, Military Equipment use presentation and adoption of Sheriff's Office military equipment use policy Executive Summary: On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 481 ("AB 481"), which became effective on January 1, 2022. AB 481 stated goals are to provide legally enforceable safeguards to protect the public's welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties before military equipment is funded, acquired, or used. Section 7071 requires each law enforcement agency to obtain approval of the applicable governing body, by adoption of a military equipment use policy, by ordinance at a regular meeting held pursuant to specified open meeting laws, prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, use, or collaboration with another agency in the use, of military equipment. The section requires similar approval for the continued use of military equipment acquired before January 1, 2022, with May 1, 2022 as the deadline for an agency to begin a governing body approval process. A law enforcement agency seeking the approval of the governing body must submit a proposed military equipment use policy to the governing body and make those documents available on the agency's website at least 30 days before any public hearing concerning the military equipment at issue. The Lake County Sheriff's Office asks the military equipment presentation be set for the Board of Supervisors regular meeting on June 7th, 2022. The setting of the presentation for June 7th, will meet the requirements of Government Code 7071, begin the approval process with the governing body before May 1st, 2022 and allow the Sheriff's Office to make available, via the Sheriff's Office website the proposed military equipment use policy, thirty days prior to a public hearing.

Memorandum Date: May 3, 2022 To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors From: Marina Deligiannis, Deputy Water Resources Department Director and Angela De Palma-Dow, Program Coordinator Subject: Consideration of Presentation and Discussion by Watershed Protection District for the request to allocate $500,000 matching funds, over a period of six years, to support $1.9 Million in approved, and partially awarded, Blue Ribbon Committee Storm Water Project Grant Funds. Executive Summary: The Watershed Protection District is requesting consideration of a presentation to the Lake County Board of Supervisors and to the Board of Directors of the Lake County Watershed Protection District. The presentation will outline a proposed request for matching funds for $500,000 through the fiscal years of 2022/2023 through 2027/2028 to coincide with the approval and award of a Blue Ribbon Committee (BRC) for the Rehabilitation of Clear Lake "Lake County Storm Water Infrastructure and Program Improvement" Grant Project. The "Lake County Storm Water Infrastructure and Program Improvement Project" is supported by the Lake County Clean Water Program (representation from County, Watershed Protection District, City of Lakeport and City of Clearlake) and was approved for funding by the BRC on September 21, 2021. Storm water management and program upgrades are desperately needed as major storm water project plans and projects have not occurred in the County since 2008. Water within the Clear Lake basin flows from the landscape, over soils and buildings, through storm water infrastructure, and into Clear Lake, which is a major source of the County's drinking water (66%). The lake also provides valuable cultural value and sustenance to our local tribal communities and provides vital habitat for wildlife and fish, of which our water-based tourism economy is extremely reliant. The project includes seven tasks that will jump-start storm water quality improvement, including a combination of planning, implementation and outreach / education activities: The seven tasks, and their Blue Ribbon Committee Grant budget allotments are: 1. Project Administration ($180, 590) 2. Infrastructure Assessment and Improvement Planning ($322,425) 3. Storm Water Management Policy and Procedure Review and Improvement ($339,200) 4. Illicit Discharge & Detection Elimination (IDDE) Program Improvement and Trash Plan Implementation ($706,700) 5. Outreach and Education ($179,300) Not included in tasks overhead / administrative / indirect costs 10% ($172,821) Subtotal of BRC Award Funds: $1,901,036.00 Project total with $500,000 match: $2,401,036.00 Task 4, the IDDE and Trash Plan Implementation Project has been granted funds immediately from Prop68 funds, and is currently in contracting. The remainder of the projects will be approved through the State of California General Fund Budget in May 2023. Based on this schedule, we are asking for an initial $100,000 of this match to be dispensed for the 2023/2024 fiscal year, with additional $100,000 allocated and allotted for each of the following years until 2027/2028. In this final year, it's expected that the Blue Ribbon Committee funds will have since expired, however the intent of these projects is to jump-start the rehabilitation of Storm Water programming in Lake County, and the last year of matching funds are needed to; complete any remaining tasks, solidify any additional funds or grants needed for next steps, and to support staff through the transition of the expiration of funds. Between 2022/2023 to 2027/2028 matching funds will be used: * To ensure project continuity * Contribute to overhead and fringe not included in the grant agreement 10% allocated indirect costs * Unforeseen internal (i.e. labor, staff time) and external (i.e. contractor costs) costs needed to complete the project * Extra monitoring as needed to evaluate project success or as emergencies arise (i.e. post-fire, post flood, structural failures) * Apply for any related storm water grants or funding opportunities that would enhance, extend, continue, maintain, or improve tasks within the project or related * Costs to comply with storm water mandates, state orders or permit requirements * Additional coordinating costs among Clean Water Program Co-Permittees (Lakeport, Clearlake), Blue Ribbon Committee, Project Partners, and any associated agreement costs. We anticipate these matching funds to function on a "roll-over" basis, where unused funds in one fiscal year, can "roll-over" and be counted and used into the next fiscal year for the project tasks. In addition to the gracious match, we are also kindly asking for $50,000 advance in matching funds to ensure programs and grants can start on time with current staff levels and to complete important equipment purchases. The Water Resource Department is not funded with county General Fund monies, and therefore relies heavily on grants and reimbursements to maintain solvency. Therefore $50,000 is requested immediately to provide for a seamless and timely transition to utilize these grant funds and initiate the project. Discussion can follow the presentation and will include participation from Water Resources and Admin Staff, as needed.
