5.2Approve Continuation of a Local Emergency Due to Geotechnical Instability Causing Roadway Failure and Embankment Erosion on Socrates Mine Road and Authorizing Emergency Contracting Pursuant to Public Contract Code Sections 22050 and 20395(d)
Action Item
proposed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
Socrates Mine Road is a county-maintained road that provides essential access to residents, businesses, and properties near Middletown. Recent field observations and staff evaluations have identified significant geotechnical instability at multiple locations on the road. These locations are experiencing significant slope movement including embankment erosion, subsurface instability, and loss of soil strength. These conditions have resulted in undermining of the roadway structural section, creating a substantial risk of continued degradation and potential sudden or catastrophic roadway failure if not promptly addressed.
The conditions pose an immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare, including loss of safe vehicular access, impaired emergency response access, and risk of injury, property damage, or isolation of residents. Furthermore, the nature of the failure is geotechnical and highly variable, requiring specialized investigation, design, and construction approaches. Work will involve adaptive methods responsive to evolving subsurface conditions, including but not limited to geotechnical analysis, slope stabilization systems, drainage improvements, and reconstruction of the roadway structural section.
The emergency was declared on May 5, 2026.

5.3Approve Continuation of Emergency Proclamation Declaring a Shelter Crisis in the County of Lake
Proclamation
proposed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The Board of Supervisors originally approved an emergency declaration for shelter crisis on January 24, 2023. The proclamation cited the lack of beds available for those experiencing homelessness and would assist in allowing shelters to continue as well as new shelters to be initiated.
Due to the fact that the original proclamation discussed rain and snow as being part of the reason for declaring an emergency, a revised version of the emergency declaration is being brought back to the board to approve with revised recitals.
We are still short of beds needed to provide shelter for all of those who are experiencing homelessness. However, great strides are being made at both Behavioral Health and the Continuum of Care with the support of the Board of Supervisors to make progress in what is available.

5.4Approve Continuation of Proclamation of the Existence of a Local Emergency Due to Pervasive Tree Mortality
Action Item
proposed on consent
Staff memo
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.

5.7Approve Continuation of a Local Emergency due to the 2026 Robin Lane Sewer Spill (City of Clearlake)
Action Item
proposed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
Lake County Code Chapter 6 and California Government Code section 8630(a) authorize the Board of Supervisors to proclaim the existence of a local emergency when conditions of extreme peril threaten life, property, or public health and when the Board is in session.
On January 11, 2026, a failure of a 16-inch wastewater force main serving the City of Clearlake resulted in the uncontrolled release of untreated sewage into residential areas, drainage systems, Burns Valley Creek, and Clear Lake. The damaged infrastructure is owned and operated by the Lake County Sanitation District and serves a large portion of the City of Clearlake and surrounding areas.
The spill has impacted at least 58 properties, many of which rely on private domestic wells for drinking water, and has affected stormwater infrastructure, roadways, surface waters, and the Clear Lake watershed. Due to continuing system failures and the inability to fully isolate the damaged pipeline, the duration and extent of contamination and public health risk remain uncertain.
The City of Clearlake has proclaimed a local emergency, and the scope of impacts and required response exceed the capacity of the City alone. Coordinated Operational Area support is necessary to protect public health, support environmental response, coordinate interagency operations, facilitate emergency contracting and procurement, and enable access to state and federal disaster assistance.
This item continues the emergency proclaimed by your board on January 13, 2026.

5.15a) Waive the Competitive Bidding Process pursuant to section 2-38.2(2) for the purchase of hot mix asphalt from Granite Construction for the Bottle Rock Road Resurfacing Project as the unique nature of the goods or services precludes competitive bidding; and b) Authorize the Public Works Director / Assistant Purchasing Agent to issue a purchase order to Granite Construction not to exceed $275,000
Action Item

Staff memo
Executive Summary
The Department of Public Works is undertaking road repair projects in preparation for the 2027 pavement preservation work plan. This work generally consists of localized pavement repairs and placement of an asphalt leveling course where necessary, followed by pavement preservation treatments such as chip seal and fog or slurry seal. For cost savings and operational efficiency, asphalt work associated with these projects will be performed by County road crews, first by hauling hot mix asphalt directly from the supplier and then through paving operations using County equipment and personnel.
Approximately 2,000 tons of hot mix asphalt are anticipated to be needed for the Bottle Rock Road resurfacing project. Because County crews will self-haul the asphalt, the distance between the asphalt plant and the project site is a significant factor in both the cost and operational feasibility of the work. Granite Construction’s asphalt plant at the Highway 175 quarry near Lakeport is the only practical and cost-effective source within a reasonable hauling distance of the project area. Obtaining asphalt from a more distant supplier would increase truck cycle times, fuel consumption, equipment usage, and County labor costs. Longer transportation times may also make it more difficult to maintain appropriate asphalt temperatures during hauling and placement, potentially affecting the quality and performance of the completed pavement. Accordingly, the lowest asphalt price at the plant would not necessarily represent the lowest overall cost to the County.
The anticipated purchase for asphalt on Bottle Rock Road exceeds the County’s $200,000 threshold for formal competitive bidding. Staff therefore requests that the Board waive competitive bidding pursuant to County Code Section 2-38.2(2), as the geographic, hauling, operational, and material-handling requirements associated with this purchase make formal competitive bidding unlikely to provide an economic benefit to the County. A material quote from Granite Construction is attached in accordance with the documentation requirements of County Code Section 2-38.2(2)(A), and all material supplied will be required to meet applicable County specifications.
Staff further requests authorization for the Public Works Director/Assistant Purchasing Agent to issue a purchase order to Granite Construction in an amount not to exceed $275,000, for approximately 2,000 tons of hot mix asphalt including applicable fees and taxes.
Of note, California Public Contract Code Section 20395 provides an alternative procurement method specifically applicable to county road work performed by County forces. The statute authorizes a county board of supervisors to allow the county road commissioner to purchase road materials without advertising for bids if the work is performed by day labor (i.e. County forces). Some California counties have expressly incorporated this authority into their purchasing procedures. Public Works will work with the County Administrative Office and County Counsel to evaluate a potential revision to the County’s purchasing code or policies for your Board’s consideration. Establishing such a procedure could reduce repetitive Board actions for routine road-material purchases, provide greater flexibility to expeditiously schedule roadwork based on weather, crew, and material availability, and better align the County’s procurement procedures with the provisions of State law specifically applicable to county road work.
Any proposed change to the County’s purchasing procedures would be brought to the Board separately for consideration and is not part of the action requested by this item.

Action Item
proposed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The FY 26/27 Special Districts Administration Capital Asset Budget includes an appropriation of $120,000 for a Valve Turning Trailer.
The Valve Turning Trailer will be used by Special Districts Administration and Utility Areas for all water and sewer systems and for the Geyser Pipeline. The Valve Turning trailer will be used to check and replace air release valves, exercise, open, close, and maintain heavy underground shut-off valves. isolation valves and fire hydrants. The equipment will help prevent the potential breakage of valves and could prevent a sewer spill.
The equipment uses a motorized torque wrench, boom for reaching over trees, bushes or fences, build in vacuum cleaning and GIS data logging. The torque is controlled by smart software that monitors the torque in real-time. If a valve is frozen or highly resistant, the system will automatically back off or safely cycle back and forth preventing valve damage.
The system enhances crew safety by eliminating possible stains, soft-tissue, back and shoulder injuries. Productivity will increase since one piece of equipment includes vacuum excavation, pressure washer, power generator and the turning machine. Additionally, emergency response will increase with the use of the equipment.
Staff reached out to five vendors for quotes for equipment. The range of quotes was $116,738.20 to $128,529.47. It was determined that Owen Equipment submitted the lowest quote and their product is in conformity with the district’s needs. Attached is a Solicitation Number Checklist approved by County Administration.

Public Hearing
Staff memo
Executive Summary
Kelseyville County Waterworks District No 3 is proposing amendments to its existing Cross-Connection Control Program Ordinance to align with the requirements and terminology established in the California State Water Resources Control Board’s Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH).
The amendments update existing language, definitions, requirements, and procedures to reflect current State standards for the prevention of backflow and protection of the public drinking water supply.
These revisions are intended to maintain consistency with State requirements, strengthen the District’s existing cross-connection control program, and ensure continued protection of the District’s public water systems.
The proposed amendments primarily update and clarify the existing program rather than establish a new Cross-Connection Control Program.

6.710:00 A.M. - Consideration of Presentation of the Lake County Energy Strategy
Report
Staff memo
Executive Summary
This item presents the Draft Lake County Energy Strategy to the Board for initial consideration and direction. It was developed through the Ad Hoc Energy Policy Committee over the summer of 2026 in response to policy proposals, Committee research, and the projects now approaching the County. Large-scale energy projects have expressed interest in siting in Lake County, and formal exploratory applications are expected soon. The draft strategy document is currently in legal review; staff will return in October with a final document incorporating Board and public input. The strategy is a guiding document, not an ordinance: it creates no enforceable rights or obligations and does not supersede the Zoning Ordinance or General Plan, though elements of the Energy Strategy may later be carried into the planned Energy Element.
The accompanying presentation has three parts. Part I identifies five settled legal and financial limits on local government: the County cannot hold equity in or share revenue from private merchant generation (a public-purpose resilience asset remains permissible); it cannot buy power at cost and resell it; acquiring PG&E’s distribution system is not financeable at any modeled price and carries wildfire liability with no State backstop; a developer may elect State certification under AB 531, displacing County permits; and a fixed, formula-driven payment applied to every project reads as a tax under Proposition 26 and Sheetz. What remains is narrower but real: development and community benefits agreements, applicant-funded cost recovery, early participation in State proceedings, and the Energy Element.
Part II walks through the draft strategy. Its guiding principles are that the County’s interest is substantive rather than territorial; the strategy is neutral as to technology and resource; benefits above standard taxation come through voluntary, project-specific agreements with a documented nexus; and tribal consultation is required. The document is organized by what the County controls, moving outward, so the County’s position holds if a developer elects State certification. Its sections cover posture and participation in environmental review, the County–State relationship, development and community benefits agreements, CEQA practice, affirmative siting (a siting map and programmatic EIR estimated at $2 to $4 million, requiring outside funding), the geothermal setback, and capacity and funding.
Part III recommends next steps. For exploratory projects: Board adoption of the strategy, a road impact and use agreement signed before drilling, a written CalGEM position on geologic hydrogen, and amendments to Articles 27 and 68 of the Zoning Ordinance. For commercial projects, in sequence: updating the development agreement ordinance (Article 69) and Master Fee Schedule, extending cost recovery to State-certified projects, a model agreement and term sheet, wind standards in the Zoning Ordinance, and ongoing work such as a fiscal impact methodology.
Not applicable
Recommended Action

7.4a) Consideration of a Resolution amending Resolution No. 2025-118, as previously amended, to amend the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget for Fund 145 (Mental Health), Budget Unit 4014, by increasing revenues and appropriations by $4,861,792; and b) Consideration of a Resolution amending Resolution No. 2025-118, as previously amended, to amend the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget for Fund 141 (Substance Use Disorder Services), Budget Unit 4015, by increasing Medi-Cal/DMC-ODS revenue and appropriations by $9,975,000
Resolution
Staff memo
Executive Summary
This item requests approval of year-end budget amendments for Fund 145, Budget Unit 4014 (Mental Health), and Fund 141, Budget Unit 4015 (Substance Use Disorder Services). The amendments are necessary to provide sufficient revenue and appropriation authority to recognize and process Fiscal Year 2025-26 revenues, expenditures, and outstanding obligations identified through the year-end closing process.
Fund 145 – Mental Health
For Fund 145, Budget Unit 4014, the proposed amendment increases revenues and appropriations by $4,861,792. The adjustment is based on updated Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS) Medi-Cal revenue projections and outstanding year-end service obligations.
The additional Fund 145 revenue consists of $4,032,512 in projected SMHS Medi-Cal revenue associated with approximately $4,157,229.12 in billed but not yet paid claims, reduced by the Department’s 3 percent average denial rate, and $829,280 in SMHS administrative claims submitted to the California Department of Health Care Services for reimbursement. Total additional anticipated revenue is therefore $4,861,792.
Corresponding Fund 145 appropriation increases include $2,311,792 for contracted SMHS billable provider services, $850,000 for supplies and services, and $1,700,000 for client placements. These adjustments reflect actual service delivery and placement costs identified during the Fiscal Year 2025-26 closing process and provide the budget authority necessary to recognize those obligations in the appropriate fiscal year.
Fund 141 – Substance Use Disorder Services
For Fund 141, Budget Unit 4015, the proposed amendment increases Medi-Cal/DMC-ODS revenue and appropriations by $9,975,000. A significant portion of this activity relates to New Life Health Authority dba New Life, LLC, which provides Narcotic Treatment Program services under the County’s Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System.
For New Life activity, the County serves as a fiscal pass-through for the applicable intergovernmental transfer or other non-federal share and the corresponding Medi-Cal/DMC-ODS reimbursement. The County does not retain the associated New Life revenue.
As part of the year-end review, Behavioral Health identified approximately $9,033,633.33 in New Life pass-through obligations and approximately $890,000 in other Fund 141 obligations charged to Professional and Specialized Services account 740.23-80. Approximately $49,000 in existing appropriation authority remains available in that account. The requested $9,975,000 increase will provide sufficient authority for the identified obligations and a limited year-end contingency of approximately $100,366.67.
The Fund 141 amendment increases Medi-Cal/DMC-ODS revenue account 452.53-62 by $9,975,000 for New Life NTP pass-through and other DMC-ODS billable services and increases contracted services account 740.23-80 by $9,975,000 for New Life NTP pass-through and other Fund 141 contracted obligations.
Combined Fiscal Impact
Combined, the two resolutions increase Fiscal Year 2025-26 Behavioral Health revenues and appropriations by $14,836,792. The requested appropriation increases are fully supported by anticipated revenues within each respective fund.
These amendments are being brought forward as part of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 year-end closing process. Updated Medi-Cal claiming information, contracted provider expenditures, client placement costs, and other outstanding obligations identified the need for additional budget authority so that activity attributable to Fiscal Year 2025-26 can be properly recognized and processed.
The requested amendments do not represent an immediate cash need. Related receipts and payments will occur through the normal Medi-Cal claiming, reimbursement, County payment, and year-end accrual processes.
The adjustments are supported by anticipated Medi-Cal/DMC-ODS and Specialty Mental Health Services revenues and do not require an additional County General Fund contribution. The requested adjustments provide budget authority only for existing Fiscal Year 2025-26 obligations and do not authorize new contracts or services.
Pursuant to Government Code section 29130, adoption of each resolution requires a four-fifths vote of the Board.
Not applicable
Recommended Action
a) Adopt a Resolution amending Resolution No. 2025-118, as previously amended, to amend the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget for Fund 145 (Mental Health), Budget Unit 4014, by increasing revenues and appropriations by $4,861,792; and
b) Adopt a Resolution amending Resolution No. 2025-118, as previously amended, to amend the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget for Fund 141 (Substance Use Disorder Services), Budget Unit 4015, by increasing Medi-Cal/DMC-ODS revenue and appropriations by $9,975,000.

Agreement
Staff memo
Executive Summary
Lake County Behavioral Health Services (LCBHS) requests approval of the Agreement with Traditions Behavioral Health (TBH) for the provision of Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS), including locum tenens, telepsychiatry, and related outpatient clinical staffing services for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The Agreement is for the period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, in an amount not to exceed $5,400,000.
LCBHS is responsible for maintaining sufficient clinical capacity to provide timely and appropriate Specialty Mental Health Services to Medi-Cal beneficiaries and other eligible individuals served through the County behavioral health system. To support this responsibility, the Department requires access to qualified psychiatric and other licensed clinical professionals who can supplement County resources when additional capacity is needed. This includes maintaining access to psychiatric evaluation, medication support and management, clinical consultation, follow-up services, and other medically necessary behavioral health services for both adults and children/youth.
Historically, the Department has employed prescribing staff and other medical professional staff to deliver required medication services. However, after several attempts to continue this model the Department has been unsuccessful in retaining and recruiting for these positions. Thus, the Department has utilized a contracted provider for these services since at least 2022.
In addition to the longer-term needs of the Department to provide ongoing services to our beneficiaries, the County's Request for Proposals also specifically identified the need for temporary and short-term clinical coverage to support continuity of care during vacancies, leaves, or periods of increased service demand, with services available either in person or through telehealth depending on County needs. It is important to note that we have prioritized the provision of in-person services across all contracts and services continuums.
The RFP also identified estimated capacity needs of approximately six adult psychiatry FTE, one child/youth psychiatry position, and 6.5 adult and/or child/youth therapy FTE. The Department is subject to minimum prescribing FTE requirements as set forth by the Federal governing through the Network Adequacy rule and process. The contract has been developed to meet these minimum requirements without guaranteeing service volume.
To address these needs, LCBHS issued a competitive Request for Proposals for SMHS Clinical Services – Telehealth and In-Person Provider on February 25, 2026. The purpose of the solicitation was to select the most robust proposal with the greatest value to the department. The solicitation allowed qualified firms and individual practitioners to propose services across multiple disciplines and delivery models, including telepsychiatry and in-person clinical services.
Traditions Behavioral Health was selected through the solicitation process for negotiation and award. Under the resulting Agreement, TBH may provide County-authorized outpatient psychiatric evaluations, psychiatric consultation, medication support, medication management, and related covered Specialty Mental Health Services. Services may be provided through telehealth or in person at County clinics, County-approved field locations, facilities, or other approved service locations based on clinical appropriateness and County need.
The Agreement also provides LCBHS flexibility to utilize additional County-authorized clinical disciplines, including Licensed Practitioners of the Healing Arts (LPHAs), Registered Nurses, Licensed Vocational Nurses, Licensed Psychiatric Technicians, and Medical Assistants when needed. These additional service lines may not be implemented or billed unless the County first approves the provider type, staffing model, compensation rate, and operational expectations in writing. This structure allows LCBHS to respond to changing service needs while retaining control over which provider types and services are utilized.
TBH providers may also participate in multidisciplinary treatment teams, care coordination, treatment planning, clinical consultation, and County quality and compliance activities. The Agreement permits County-authorized psychiatric on-call coverage during evenings, weekends, County holidays, and other approved periods when additional psychiatric availability is operationally necessary. The RFP similarly required proposers to coordinate with LCBHS care teams and participate in case conferences, treatment planning, and care coordination activities as requested by the County.
All providers must satisfy applicable licensing, credentialing, enrollment, exclusion-screening, insurance, training, privacy/security, electronic health record, and County approval requirements before rendering billable services. The Agreement also requires compliance with applicable Medi-Cal, California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), HIPAA, documentation, quality-management, beneficiary-rights, audit, reporting, and program-integrity requirements. The County retains authority to monitor performance, require corrective action, withhold or deny payment, recoup unsupported or disallowed payments, suspend referrals, and require replacement of providers when contractual or regulatory requirements are not met.
Approval of this Agreement will provide LCBHS with a flexible contracted resource to supplement existing clinical capacity, address psychiatric and other clinical staffing needs, maintain continuity of care during vacancies or temporary staffing gaps, and support timely access to medically necessary Specialty Mental Health Services for Lake County residents.
