5.2Approve Continuation of Proclamation of the Existence of a Local Emergency Due to Pervasive Tree Mortality. Report passed on consent
Staff memo

Date: May 17, 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: Approve Continuation of Proclamation of 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.

Recommended Action

Staff memo

Date: May 17th, 2022 · To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors · From: Todd Metcalf, Director Behavioral Health Services · Subject: Approve Agreement between County of Lake and Native American Mental Health Services dba North American Mental Health Services for TelePsychiatry Services in the amount of $2,904,708.48 for FYs 2022-25 and Authorize the Board Chair to Sign.

Executive Summary

Lake County Behavioral Health Services does not have a County-employed psychiatry provider and recruitment for this position across the state and nation is profoundly challenging. In order to meet our obligation as the County Mental Health Plan, LCBHS must provide 1.5 Full Time Equivalent staff for adult psychiatry and 0.8 FTE staff for child/adolescent psychiatry as proscribed by the Federal Network Adequacy Standards. LCBHS issued a Request for Proposals on December 1st 2021. This RFP yielded two proposals for telepsychiatry and/or locum tenens services. Each proposal had the same rates for psychiatric providers. Based on a thorough review of the proposals and discussion with the LCBHS management team, there was a unanimous decision to contract with North American Mental Health Services.

5.5Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement between County of Lake and North Valley Behavioral Health for a new Contract Maximum of $840,000 for FY 2021-22 and Authorize the Board Chair to Sign. Agreement passed on consent
Staff memo

Date: May 17th, 2022 · To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors · From: Todd Metcalf, Director Behavioral Health Services · Subject: Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement between County of Lake and North Valley Behavioral Health for a new Contract Maximum of $840,000 for FY 2021-22 and Authorize the Board Chair to Sign.

Executive Summary

North Valley Behavioral Health is 16 bed acute care psychiatric inpatient treatment facility licensed by the State of California Department of Mental Health providing crisis stabilization and competency restoration services. According to California Penal Code 1320 individuals found incompetent due to a mental illness and unable to participate in their own defense are ordered by the Court to receive competency restoration services. Lake County Behavioral Health Services evaluates these individuals to determine whether they are appropriate for inpatient or outpatient competency restoration services. North Valley Behavioral Health is one of two psychiatric inpatient treatment facilities in the region providing these services. Of course, it is also utilized for inpatient crisis stabilization for individuals placed on a 5150 hold. Due to an uptick in the need for these services, LCBHS experienced unanticipated placement needs resulting in higher than projected utilization. Thus, this contract is needed to render payment to North Valley Behavioral Health for services provided through the end of the 2021-22 fiscal year.

5.8Approve Continuation of Resolution Authorizing Teleconferenced Meetings during a State of Emergency Continue to Exist Action Item passed on consent
Staff memo

Date: May 17, 2022 · To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors · From: Anita L. Grant · Subject: Approve Continuation of Resolution Authorizing Teleconferenced Meetings during a State of Emergency Continue to Exist

Executive Summary

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

Executive Summary

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. ?

Staff memo

Date: May 17, 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.

Recommended Action

Approve Continuation of a Local Health Emergency Related to the 2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19) as Proclaimed by the Lake County Public Health Officer.

Staff memo

Date: May 17, 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.

Recommended Action

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

No additional funding requested — the memo's cost fields were left blank, which on this form means the item is already budgeted.

Date: May 17, 2022 · To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors · From: Crystal Markytan, Director of Social Services · Subject: Authorize the Closure of all Social Services Facilities for Staff Enrichment, Appreciation and Team Building on Wednesday, June 22nd, 2022 from the Hours of 8:00am - 11:00am

Executive Summary

I respectfully request Board approval to close all five Social Services facilities to the public (including protective services staff that will remain on call and available) on Wednesday, June 22nd, 2022 from the hours of 8:00am - 11:00am. With a percentage of our staff working remotely and with Social Services being housed in five locations around the lake, joint gatherings are difficult to accomplish during public serving hours. This virtual event will include information sharing, team building exercises, and employee appreciation for the monumental work done by the DSS staff. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Recommended Action

Authorize the Closure of all social Services Facilities for Staff Enrichment, Appreciation and Team Building on Wednesday, June 22nd, 2022 from the Hours of 8:00am-11:00am.

No additional funding requested — the memo's cost fields were left blank, which on this form means the item is already budgeted.

(LCC Chapter 13, Article VI, Section 13-42.1) In July 2021, the Community Development Department became aware of a structure fire that occurred at 13204 Second Street in Clearlake Oaks, CA. A Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate was posted to the property for violation of the following Lake County Codes (LCC): * Chapter 5, Article 1, Section 5-4A, 2019 California Building Code, Chapter 1, section 116 * Chapter 13, Article I, Section 13-3.1, subsection (e) (1) * Chapter 13, Article I, Section 13-3.1, subsection (e) (2) * Chapter 13, Article I, Section 13-3.1, subsection (e) (3) * Chapter 13, Article I, Section 13-3.1, subsection (e) (4) * Chapter 13, Article I, Section 13-3.1, subsection (e) (5) * Chapter 13, Article I, Section 13-3.1, subsection (e) (7) * Chapter 13, Article I, Section 13-3.1, subsection (e) (8) * Chapter 13, Article I, Section 13-3.1, subsection (e) (13) Exhibit B - Site Photos The property owner was notified of the violations in the Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate dated January 18, 2022. All notices have been posted on the on/at the subject property, sent by certified mail or first class mail to the owner(s) address of record. A Last and Final Notice and Right of Entry form was also sent to the Lake County Jail when our department was made aware of her incarceration.

Select Environmental was required to dispose of all material containing asbestos at the only approved dump site in Northern California, in Vacaville. Exhibit D - Abatement Photos On May 3, 2022, compliance with the LCC was attained and the property was returned to a vacant lot. Administrative Costs: Exhibit E - Task Sheet

Staff memo

Date: May 17, 2022 · To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors · From: E.J. Crandell, District 3 Supervisor Bruno Sabatier, District 2 Supervisor · Subject: Consideration of grant funding in the amount of $25,000 to support 1Team 1Dream by sponsoring Hands Up Lake County, Small Business Competition, 2022

Executive Summary

Beginning its 3rd year, the "Hands Up Lake County" small business competition has trained 33 and awarded cash prizes to 11 small businesses in Lake County. The competition launched by zoom in 2020, a very challenging year due to the COVID pandemic. Since inception, the interest in the competition has grown, from 37 applicants in 2020 to 50 in 2021. Small businesses have received business plan training and participated in mini competitions where local business and community leaders selected "the best of the best," to advance to a final competition. In the final competition, a different set of business and community leaders judged the presentations and decided the award levels each competitor received. Every business entering the final competition received a cash award; a total of $79, 750 has been awarded in the first two years.

Purpose

The goal of the small business competition is to help build a resilient and thriving economy, one small business at a time. The premise is that strong small businesses are the backbone of small rural economies, such as ours. In addition to the cash boost, finalists in the competition receive valuable training in marketing, self-promotion, and business finances. The ability to pivot in times of challenge (COVID, fires, or tough business times) is also targeted. Hands Up Lake County is much more than just teaching the mechanics of operating a business. The program prepares small businesses and entrepreneurs to become even more ready to fill commercial gaps throughout the County AND to build a sustainable business. Through ongoing promotional efforts on social media, the local print and online media and radio, all businesses who have been through the program are introduced and promoted in our communities. Applications are now being accepted through June 30, 2022. Only residents aspiring to or doing business in Lake County may apply.

Summary

This one-of-a-kind program offers countywide economic growth. We hope you see the advantages of supporting the 1Team 1Dream project to build resilient and sustainable small businesses, county-wide. We ask you to join the Cities of Clearlake and Lakeport as well as private and corporate entities, local businesses and individuals who support the program by sponsoring Hands Up Lake County, Small Business Competition, 2022. 1Team 1Dream is an all-volunteer organization.

APPEAL DISCUSSION SEC. 21-58.30 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPEALS. Decisions of the Planning Commission may be appealed. Response: The appellant-applicant submitted written concerns regarding this application on March 2, 2022. (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 March 2, 2022 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-applicant submitted a written description of why the appellant believes the Planning Commission erred in its decision to deny this land use permit and CEQA review (IS/MND). The appellant-applicant cited several specific aspects of the PC's decision as being deficient. The appellant-applicant notes that the project was approved previously (on April 22, 2021 and by a 4 to 1 vote) by the Planning Commission. The appellant-applicant maintains that all of the requirements for issuance of a major use permit were filed in 2020. The appellant-applicant maintains that the Planning Commission's denial of the project is based on "vocal opposition members" of the community rather than the substantial evidence of a significant environmental impact. The appellant-applicant notes that the Planning Commission decision was "arbitrary within the meaning of California law". Please refer to 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 denied file no. UP 20-22 on February 24, 2022. The appeal was filed on the 8th day of the appeal period for this action (March 2, 2022). 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 A17. 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. A denial of the appeal would cause the Use Permit and IS/MND to be denied. A denial of the appeal would result in the denial of the Major Use Permit and Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Planning Commission's decision on February 24, 2022 was based on the following required findings: 1. That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use applied for will, 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, and will 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 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 A10 - INITIAL STUDY) determined that the use would 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 not 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, energy, noise, transportation, soils and wildlife. The applicant proposes to remove 130 mature blue oak trees and natural habitat area for the development of the proposed cannabis cultivation site, as discussed in detail in the Planning Commission report dated February 24, 2022. Large-scale removal of oak forest ecosystems for cannabis cultivation can cause wide-ranging and significant impacts on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. These impacts include loss and fragmentation of sensitive native habitat. The existing status of oak ecosystems in the region is influenced by the impacts and stressors associated with the impacts of fire, disease, storms, drought, land-use, habitat loss, and the introduction of non-native species. Native tree and vegetation removal reduce habitat availability to wildlife, and can have significant impacts on a range of ecosystems services that are provided by oak ecosystems, such as the storage of carbon and water, the protection of soil composition, nutrient cycling and moisture retention. In addition, removal of native oak trees and roots structures destabilizes surrounding soil, increasing the likelihood of landslides and sedimentation. This is especially the case in areas that have a steep slope density. In the case of WeGrow, the scale of proposed native oak tree removal cannot be reduced by mitigation measures to a less than significant level. The applicant has not attempted to "minimize" the proposed removal of native oak trees associated with the project. The environmental impacts associated with large-scale tree removal may have significant impacts on wildlife, and may have potential impacts that contribute to impacts on the site from soil loss and erosion, and other environmental effects. While mitigation measures are proposed, large-scale oak tree removal remains a significant impact that cannot be mitigated to a less than significant impact. Article 27.11.iii is very specific on how tree removal should be considered for this proposed project. Moreover, the scale of oak tree removal requires a State commercial forestry license. The scale of oak tree removal is also inconsistent with the State guidelines under 2009 CA Fish and Game Code Section 1360-1372: Article 3.5 Oak Woodlands Conservation Act. Please refer to Exhibit A2a - 02-24-2022 STAFF REPORT. 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: Existing development on the project site consists of a 4000 sq. ft. barn, two permitted groundwater wells, a septic system, and an existing 12' to 14' wide interior gravel driveway. The site for the proposed project is +309 acres in combined size. The applicant needs 300 acres for fifteen (15) A - Type 3B licenses for 300 acres, and five acres is required for the A-Type 1C license. The proposed canopy area is estimated to be about 332,160 sq. ft. of canopy area, and 387,600 square feet of mixed light cultivation area. The proposed project meets the lot size requirement. The cultivation site is set back a minimum of 100 feet from the nearest property line. The nearest dwelling is about 1100 feet away from the proposed cultivation area. However, the proposed cultivation area would include a plan to remove 130 mature oak trees. 3. That the streets, highways and pedestrian facilities are reasonably adequate to safely accommodate the specific proposed use. Response: The site is served by Herrington Road, a private roadway that terminates onto the subject site. The employees would also access Tinilyn Road and Spruce Grove Road. The applicant is proposing improvements to the private interior driveway to make it compliant with Public Resources Code (PRC) 4290 / 4291 (CalFire) road standards, which is a requisite whenever a project requires building permits such as this one. The interior access road is also required to meet PRC 4290 and 4291 road standards prior to final building inspection and consequently the start of cultivation under this permit. The applicant has also submitted a Traffic Study, prepared by DTN Engineering, Consulting and Permitting, undated but received on August 21, 2021 by the County. The study concludes that the road system serving the property has a capacity of 336 daily vehicle trips, and even with this project and its projected 40 average daily trips, the road system will remain well below capacity. The study recommended no additional road improvements as the result of this project. Please refer to EXHIBIT A7 - TRAFFIC ANALYSIS. 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, CalTrans, CalFire, Special Districts, Environmental Health, PG&E, and to all area Tribes. Relevant comments may be found in EXHIBIT A2b-f - PUBLIC AGENCY COMMENTS. Comments were received that would affect a substantial adverse impact determination. Pursuant to Article 27 (Table B) of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance, the cultivation of cannabis is an allowable use within the "RL" Rural Lands land use designation upon securing a Minor/Major Use Permit. However, this particular project is near Hidden Valley Lakes Development, although the cultivation area is outside the 1000 foot setback required under Article 27. Staff has received multiple verbal, written and emailed comments for this project, including residents from Hidden Valley Lake area who are opposed to the project. Several adverse comments were received by the California Highway Patrol, the Audubon Society, the Coast Oak Society, and from the Middletown Area Town Hall (MATH) in Middletown. Staff contacted PG&E on August 15, 2021 to discuss the existing constraints associated with the energy availability and needs for the commercial project (see EXHIBIT A8 - POWER AVAILABILITY AND ANALYSIS and EXHIBIT A9 - POWER REQUIREMENTS AND RESPONSES). PG&E stated that the applicant would need to upgrade the grid at the applicant's cost. PG&E also noted that an energy grid upgrade could take up to four years or longer. The applicant was made aware of this following the August 15, 2021 discussion with PG&E. Based on the PG&E requirement for upgrades to the power grid for the site, the applicant proposed that limited power be provided to the greenhouses on an interim basis until the grid gets upgraded. The appellant-applicant 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 appellant-applicant cited several specific aspects of the PC's decision as being deficient. The appellant-applicant notes that the project was approved previously in 2021 by the County Planning Commission by a 4-0 vote. The appellant maintains that all of the requirements for issuance of a major use permit were filed in 2020. The appellant argues the County Planning Commission denied the project based on "vocal opposition members" of the community rather than the substantial evidence of a significant environmental impact. The appellant-applicant notes that the Planning Commission decision was "arbitrary within the meaning of California law". Please refer to EXHIBIT A1 - APPEAL. 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: The project does not meet all requirements and development standards of the Commercial Cannabis ordinance Article 27(at)1.iii(a) prohibits tree removal for cultivation of cannabis. The removal of any commercial tree species as defined by the California Code of Regulations section 895.1, Commercial Species for the Coast Forest District and Northern Forest District, and the removal of any true oak species (Quercus species) or Tan Oak (Notholithocarpus spices) for the purpose of developing a cannabis cultivation site should be avoided and minimized. This shall not include the pruning of any such tree species for the health of the tree or the removal of such trees if necessary for safety or disease concerns. The General Plan does not have any provisions for commercial cannabis, but does have provisions for economic development and related policies that the project is consistent with (Please refer to the Staff Report in EXHIBIT A2a - 02-24-2022 STAFF REPORT). 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: The Community Development Department has no record of 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 Major Use Permit: 1. The proposed use complies with all development standards described in Chapter 21, Article 27, Section 1.i. Response: The Planning Commission did not find that the project was in compliance with all applicable standards and criteria (Please refer to the Staff Report in EXHIBIT A2a. Article 27(at)1.iii(a) prohibits tree removal for cultivation of cannabis. 2. The applicant is qualified to make the application described in Chapter 21, Article 27, Section 1.ii.(g). Response: The applicant has passed 'live scan', and is the owner of the property. The applicant is qualified to make this application. 3. The application complies with the qualifications for a permit described in Chapter 21, Article 27, Section 1.ii.(i). Response: The Planning Commission did not find that the project was in compliance with all applicable criteria for a Major Use Permit (Please refer to the Staff Report in EXHIBIT A2a -- STAFF REPORT and A17 -PC MINUTES. Article 27(at)1.iii(a) prohibits tree removal for cultivation of cannabis, and the removal of 130 blue oak trees proposed by the applicant cannot be reduced to a level of significant by the applicant's proposed mitigation measures. Not applicable

Recommended Action

CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION. Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors: Deny the Appeal (AB 22-01); uphold the Planning Commission's decision to deny the Major Use Permit Resubmittal (UP 20-22) and Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Revision (IS 20-25). Appeal Denial I move that the Board of Supervisors make an intended decision to deny the Appeal AB 22-01. Initial Study (IS 21-10) I move that the Board of Supervisors find that the Major Use Permit Resubmittal (UP 20-22) applied for by WeGrow, LLC on a property located at 16750 Herrington Road, Hidden Valley Lake (cultivation site); 17610 Sandy Road and 19678 Stinson Road, Middletown (cluster sites), CA further described as APN: 013-060-40 (cultivation site); 103-014-03 and 11 (clustering sites) will have a significant effect on the environment and therefore a mitigated negative declaration shall not be adopted per the findings for denial listed in the Planning Commission staff report dated February 24, 2021. Major Use Permit Denial I move that the Board of Supervisors find that the Major Use Permit (UP 20-22) applied for by WeGrow, LLC on a property located at 16750 Herrington Road, Hidden Valley Lake (cultivation site); 17610 Sandy Road and 19678 Stinson Road, Middletown (cluster sites), CA further described as APN: 013-060-40 (cultivation site); 103-014-03 and 11 (clustering sites) does not meet the requirements of Sections 27(at) and 51.4 of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance and that the Board of Supervisors has reviewed and considered the Mitigated Negative Declaration which was denied for this project and the Major Use Permit not be granted subject to the conditions and with the findings listed in the Planning Commission staff report dated February 24, 2021.

APPEAL DISCUSSION SEC. 21-58.30 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPEALS. Decisions of the Planning Commission may be appealed. Response: The appellant-applicant submitted written concerns regarding this application on March 2, 2022. (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 March 2, 2022 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-applicant submitted a written description of why the appellant believes the Planning Commission erred in its decision to deny this land use permit and CEQA review (IS/MND). The appellant-applicant cited several specific aspects of the PC's decision as being deficient. The appellant-applicant notes that the project was approved previously (on April 22, 2021 and by a 4 to 1 vote) by the Planning Commission. The appellant-applicant maintains that all of the requirements for issuance of a major use permit were filed in 2020. The appellant-applicant maintains that the Planning Commission's denial of the project is based on "vocal opposition members" of the community rather than the substantial evidence of a significant environmental impact. The appellant-applicant notes that the Planning Commission decision was "arbitrary within the meaning of California law". Please refer to 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 denied file no. UP 20-22 on February 24, 2022. The appeal was filed on the 8th day of the appeal period for this action (March 2, 2022). 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 A17. 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. A denial of the appeal would cause the Use Permit and IS/MND to be denied. A denial of the appeal would result in the denial of the Major Use Permit and Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Planning Commission's decision on February 24, 2022 was based on the following required findings: 1. That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use applied for will, 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, and will 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 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 A10 - INITIAL STUDY) determined that the use would 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 not 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, energy, noise, transportation, soils and wildlife. The applicant proposes to remove 130 mature blue oak trees and natural habitat area for the development of the proposed cannabis cultivation site, as discussed in detail in the Planning Commission report dated February 24, 2022. Large-scale removal of oak forest ecosystems for cannabis cultivation can cause wide-ranging and significant impacts on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. These impacts include loss and fragmentation of sensitive native habitat. The existing status of oak ecosystems in the region is influenced by the impacts and stressors associated with the impacts of fire, disease, storms, drought, land-use, habitat loss, and the introduction of non-native species. Native tree and vegetation removal reduce habitat availability to wildlife, and can have significant impacts on a range of ecosystems services that are provided by oak ecosystems, such as the storage of carbon and water, the protection of soil composition, nutrient cycling and moisture retention. In addition, removal of native oak trees and roots structures destabilizes surrounding soil, increasing the likelihood of landslides and sedimentation. This is especially the case in areas that have a steep slope density. In the case of WeGrow, the scale of proposed native oak tree removal cannot be reduced by mitigation measures to a less than significant level. The applicant has not attempted to "minimize" the proposed removal of native oak trees associated with the project. The environmental impacts associated with large-scale tree removal may have significant impacts on wildlife, and may have potential impacts that contribute to impacts on the site from soil loss and erosion, and other environmental effects. While mitigation measures are proposed, large-scale oak tree removal remains a significant impact that cannot be mitigated to a less than significant impact. Article 27.11.iii is very specific on how tree removal should be considered for this proposed project. Moreover, the scale of oak tree removal requires a State commercial forestry license. The scale of oak tree removal is also inconsistent with the State guidelines under 2009 CA Fish and Game Code Section 1360-1372: Article 3.5 Oak Woodlands Conservation Act. Please refer to Exhibit A2a - 02-24-2022 STAFF REPORT. 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: Existing development on the project site consists of a 4000 sq. ft. barn, two permitted groundwater wells, a septic system, and an existing 12' to 14' wide interior gravel driveway. The site for the proposed project is +309 acres in combined size. The applicant needs 300 acres for fifteen (15) A - Type 3B licenses for 300 acres, and five acres is required for the A-Type 1C license. The proposed canopy area is estimated to be about 332,160 sq. ft. of canopy area, and 387,600 square feet of mixed light cultivation area. The proposed project meets the lot size requirement. The cultivation site is set back a minimum of 100 feet from the nearest property line. The nearest dwelling is about 1100 feet away from the proposed cultivation area. However, the proposed cultivation area would include a plan to remove 130 mature oak trees. 3. That the streets, highways and pedestrian facilities are reasonably adequate to safely accommodate the specific proposed use. Response: The site is served by Herrington Road, a private roadway that terminates onto the subject site. The employees would also access Tinilyn Road and Spruce Grove Road. The applicant is proposing improvements to the private interior driveway to make it compliant with Public Resources Code (PRC) 4290 / 4291 (CalFire) road standards, which is a requisite whenever a project requires building permits such as this one. The interior access road is also required to meet PRC 4290 and 4291 road standards prior to final building inspection and consequently the start of cultivation under this permit. The applicant has also submitted a Traffic Study, prepared by DTN Engineering, Consulting and Permitting, undated but received on August 21, 2021 by the County. The study concludes that the road system serving the property has a capacity of 336 daily vehicle trips, and even with this project and its projected 40 average daily trips, the road system will remain well below capacity. The study recommended no additional road improvements as the result of this project. Please refer to EXHIBIT A7 - TRAFFIC ANALYSIS. 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, CalTrans, CalFire, Special Districts, Environmental Health, PG&E, and to all area Tribes. Relevant comments may be found in EXHIBIT A2b-f - PUBLIC AGENCY COMMENTS. Comments were received that would affect a substantial adverse impact determination. Pursuant to Article 27 (Table B) of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance, the cultivation of cannabis is an allowable use within the "RL" Rural Lands land use designation upon securing a Minor/Major Use Permit. However, this particular project is near Hidden Valley Lakes Development, although the cultivation area is outside the 1000 foot setback required under Article 27. Staff has received multiple verbal, written and emailed comments for this project, including residents from Hidden Valley Lake area who are opposed to the project. Several adverse comments were received by the California Highway Patrol, the Audubon Society, the Coast Oak Society, and from the Middletown Area Town Hall (MATH) in Middletown. Staff contacted PG&E on August 15, 2021 to discuss the existing constraints associated with the energy availability and needs for the commercial project (see EXHIBIT A8 - POWER AVAILABILITY AND ANALYSIS and EXHIBIT A9 - POWER REQUIREMENTS AND RESPONSES). PG&E stated that the applicant would need to upgrade the grid at the applicant's cost. PG&E also noted that an energy grid upgrade could take up to four years or longer. The applicant was made aware of this following the August 15, 2021 discussion with PG&E. Based on the PG&E requirement for upgrades to the power grid for the site, the applicant proposed that limited power be provided to the greenhouses on an interim basis until the grid gets upgraded. The appellant-applicant 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 appellant-applicant cited several specific aspects of the PC's decision as being deficient. The appellant-applicant notes that the project was approved previously in 2021 by the County Planning Commission by a 4-0 vote. The appellant maintains that all of the requirements for issuance of a major use permit were filed in 2020. The appellant argues the County Planning Commission denied the project based on "vocal opposition members" of the community rather than the substantial evidence of a significant environmental impact. The appellant-applicant notes that the Planning Commission decision was "arbitrary within the meaning of California law". Please refer to EXHIBIT A1 - APPEAL. 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: The project does not meet all requirements and development standards of the Commercial Cannabis ordinance Article 27(at)1.iii(a) prohibits tree removal for cultivation of cannabis. The removal of any commercial tree species as defined by the California Code of Regulations section 895.1, Commercial Species for the Coast Forest District and Northern Forest District, and the removal of any true oak species (Quercus species) or Tan Oak (Notholithocarpus spices) for the purpose of developing a cannabis cultivation site should be avoided and minimized. This shall not include the pruning of any such tree species for the health of the tree or the removal of such trees if necessary for safety or disease concerns. The General Plan does not have any provisions for commercial cannabis, but does have provisions for economic development and related policies that the project is consistent with (Please refer to the Staff Report in EXHIBIT A2a - 02-24-2022 STAFF REPORT). 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: The Community Development Department has no record of 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 Major Use Permit: 1. The proposed use complies with all development standards described in Chapter 21, Article 27, Section 1.i. Response: The Planning Commission did not find that the project was in compliance with all applicable standards and criteria (Please refer to the Staff Report in EXHIBIT A2a. Article 27(at)1.iii(a) prohibits tree removal for cultivation of cannabis. 2. The applicant is qualified to make the application described in Chapter 21, Article 27, Section 1.ii.(g). Response: The applicant has passed 'live scan', and is the owner of the property. The applicant is qualified to make this application. 3. The application complies with the qualifications for a permit described in Chapter 21, Article 27, Section 1.ii.(i). Response: The Planning Commission did not find that the project was in compliance with all applicable criteria for a Major Use Permit (Please refer to the Staff Report in EXHIBIT A2a -- STAFF REPORT and A17 -PC MINUTES. Article 27(at)1.iii(a) prohibits tree removal for cultivation of cannabis, and the removal of 130 blue oak trees proposed by the applicant cannot be reduced to a level of significant by the applicant's proposed mitigation measures.

Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors: Deny the Appeal (AB 22-01); uphold the Planning Commission's decision to deny the Major Use Permit Resubmittal (UP 20-22) and Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Revision (IS 20-25). Appeal Denial I move that the Board of Supervisors make an intended decision to deny the Appeal AB 22-01. Initial Study (IS 21-10) I move that the Board of Supervisors find that the Major Use Permit Resubmittal (UP 20-22) applied for by WeGrow, LLC on a property located at 16750 Herrington Road, Hidden Valley Lake (cultivation site); 17610 Sandy Road and 19678 Stinson Road, Middletown (cluster sites), CA further described as APN: 013-060-40 (cultivation site); 103-014-03 and 11 (clustering sites) will have a significant effect on the environment and therefore a mitigated negative declaration shall not be adopted per the findings for denial listed in the Planning Commission staff report dated February 24, 2021. Major Use Permit Denial I move that the Board of Supervisors find that the Major Use Permit (UP 20-22) applied for by WeGrow, LLC on a property located at 16750 Herrington Road, Hidden Valley Lake (cultivation site); 17610 Sandy Road and 19678 Stinson Road, Middletown (cluster sites), CA further described as APN: 013-060-40 (cultivation site); 103-014-03 and 11 (clustering sites) does not meet the requirements of Sections 27(at) and 51.4 of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance and that the Board of Supervisors has reviewed and considered the Mitigated Negative Declaration which was denied for this project and the Major Use Permit not be granted subject to the conditions and with the findings listed in the Planning Commission staff report dated February 24, 2021.
On motion of Supervisor Simon, and by vote of the Board, denied the appeal AB22-01 and upheld the Planning Commissions decision to deny the Major Use Permit Resubmittal 20-22 the initial study Mitigated Negative Declaration revision. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes- Supervisors: 5 - Simon, Sabatier, Scott, Pyska and Crandell

Staff memo

Date: May 17th, 2022 · To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors · From: Todd Metcalf, Director Behavioral Health Services · Subject: Discussion of Lake County Behavioral Health Services Request for Proposals Process for FY 2022-23 and Approve Contracting with Facilities/Providers who did not Submit Proposals to Maintain Continuity of Client Care.

Executive Summary

In conformity with the County of Lake's competitive bidding and consultant selection policy and ordinance, Lake County Behavioral Health Services has issued a Request for Proposals for a variety of services that have been historically contracted out. Among these, an RFP was initiated for Adult Mental Health Residential Treatment Services on March 3rd 2022 and Acute Psychiatric Hospital Services on March 14th. Adult Residential Treatment Services are rehabilitative services provided in a non-institutional, residential setting for beneficiaries who would be at risk of hospitalization or other institutional placement if they were not in a residential treatment program. Adult Residential Treatment Services include a range of activities and services that support beneficiaries in their effort to restore, maintain and apply interpersonal and independent living skills and to access community support systems. The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We also included in this RFP a request for proposals for Board and Care facilities. LCBHS received one proposal from a contractor with whom we have placed clients for many years. We have received rate sheets from most of our other contracted providers, as they assume we will want to continue to contract with them due to the limited availability of residential beds in the state of California. Largely, these rates are set by the Department of Health Care Services. Contractors have indicated they would not go through the trouble of submitting a proposal, as beds are highly competitive. Similarly, with Acute Psychiatric Hospital Services, we did not receive any proposals. Despite this, our clients continue to have a need for these services and we have an obligation as the County Mental Health Plan to insure provision of these services. Additionally, Regulations state: The MHP shall give practitioners or groups of practitioners who apply to be MHP contract providers and with whom the MHP decides not to contract written notice of the reason for a decision not to contract (42 C.F.R. � 438.12(a)(1). It is unclear whether DHCS will find it acceptable to decline to contract with a provider because they did not participate in the RFP process or because their proposal was not selected; counties are still awaiting guidance on this. We desire to discuss with the Board our intention to continue to contract with facilities with whom we have clients currently placed and in facilities for which we have anticipated/projected utilization in the absence of a formal proposal. In absence of this, we have a grave concern that the welfare and care of our most vulnerable beneficiaries is in jeopardy.

Recommended Action

Approve LCHBS' recommendation to contract with Adult Residential Treatment Services and Acute Psychiatric Hospital Services providers in the absence of a successful Request for Proposals Process in Order to Maintain Continuity of Care for Lake County Beneficiaries.

No additional funding requested — the memo's cost fields were left blank, which on this form means the item is already budgeted.

Executive Summary

Last year your Board adopted a Proclamation Designating the month of June as LGBTQ+ Pride Month to recognize the LGBTQ+ residents in Lake County. As stated in the Proclamation, California has been a leader in advancing the civil rights of its LGBTQ+ citizens and that all people deserve to be embraced and treated as equals. May 17th is the International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia and it is important to be aware that while progress has been made in the efforts of equity and inclusion for the LGBTQ+ community, there is still an overwhelming amount of discrimination this community faces. The LGBTQ+ residents within our community represent our families, our friends our neighbors, our teachers, our employees and our community leaders and we must stand with them. Flying the pride flag brings awareness not only to the progress we have made, but the progress we have yet to make. This year, I would like your Board to consider the possibility of purchasing a pride flag and flying it at the Courthouse for the full month of June as many other jurisdictions have.

Recommended Action

Staff memo

Date: May 17, 2022 · To: The Honorable E.J. Crandell, Lake County Board of Supervisors · From: Susan Parker, Interim County Administrative Officer · Subject: Consideration and Discussion of Changes to the Board of Supervisors Annual Calendar for 2022

Executive Summary

On November 2, 2021, your Board approved the 2022 Board of Supervisors meeting calendar which included a two day recommended Budget Hearing with dates of June 8 and 9, 2022 and a one day final Budget Hearing of September 13, 2022. Staff requests a change in process and dates to allow a new County Administrative Officer to participate in the detailed Department budget presentations. The June 7th recommended budget hearing will include each department's initial budget requests for FY 22/23. Departments will be encouraged to limit their expenditures until the final budget is approved in September. Capital assets specifically would not be allowed to be purchased unless explicitly identified in the Recommended Budget. Funding sources, Fund Balance Available, and updated plans for the fiscal year will have a higher degree of certainty in September. Departments would present a detailed summary of each budget unit's requested budget over the course of the two day final recommended budget hearings. Staff proposes the recommended Budget Hearings on June 8th and 9th be rescheduled for one day on the regular board meeting date of June 7, 2022. The final budget hearing schedule for September 13th would then be scheduled as two separate meetings on September 21 & 22, 2022. If your Board is agreeable to these recommendations, staff will populate your calendars accordingly.

Recommended Action

By motion, a) cancel recommended/final recommended Budget Hearing meetings previously calendared for June 8 and June 9, 2022 and September 13, 2022; b) add the recommended Budget Hearing to the June 7, 2022 BOS meeting; and c) schedule the final Budget Hearing for September 21 and 22, 2022.

Staff memo

Date: May 10, 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. Not applicable

Recommended Action

(a) Discussion Item. Consider Direction to Staff, as needed. (b) Adopt the Resolution setting an Election for District 4 Supervisor as part of the November 8, 2022 Statewide General Election.
