Executive Summary
Lake County Behavioral Health Services (LCBHS) requests approval of an Agreement with Crestwood Behavioral Health Inc. for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 to provide adult residential support services and Specialty Mental Health Services for eligible Lake County clients.
Crestwood operates multiple specialized behavioral health facilities throughout California, including Adult Residential/Social Rehabilitation facilities, Skilled Nursing/Special Treatment Program facilities, Mental Health Rehabilitation Centers, and Psychiatric Health Facilities. These facilities provide structured residential, rehabilitation, psychiatric, and specialized behavioral health services for individuals with significant behavioral health and functional needs.
These services are necessary for clients with severe and persistent mental health needs who require structured residential or facility-based care that cannot be safely or appropriately provided in a lower level of care or through locally available outpatient or community-based services. The Agreement allows LCBHS to access specialized placements and levels of care based upon individual client need and County authorization.
Crestwood has historically provided residential and facility-based behavioral health placements for Lake County clients requiring specialized treatment, stabilization, and structured support. Prior contract history and utilization demonstrate the continued need for these services.
For Fiscal Years 2022-2025, Crestwood contract maximums totaled $1,200,000 across Adult Residential, Mental Health Rehabilitation Center, and Skilled Nursing/Special Treatment Program services. Actual expenditures totaled approximately $1,181,392.61, representing approximately 98.4% of the available contract maximum.
For Fiscal Year 2025-2026, the Crestwood contract maximum totaled $1,200,000 across Mental Health Rehabilitation Center and Skilled Nursing/Special Treatment Program services. Based on the fiscal worksheet reviewed in preparation for this Agreement, expenditures totaled approximately $515,799, with approximately $684,201 remaining at the time of review. Utilization data also reflected a decrease in total bed days from 6,494 in Fiscal Year 2023-2024 to 5,415 in Fiscal Year 2024-2025, a reduction of 1,079 bed days, or approximately 16.6%.
Based on recent utilization and expenditure trends, the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-2027 contract maximum has been reduced to $900,000, which is $300,000 less than the prior $1,200,000 contract maximum. The reduced maximum preserves access to necessary specialized placements while more closely aligning the Agreement with recent utilization and expenditure levels.
The Agreement requires prior written County authorization for placements, levels of care, bed holds, one-to-one supervision, private room conversions, patch levels, and other supplemental services. County authorization must identify the applicable client, facility, service or level of care, authorized duration, applicable rate, and other conditions of authorization. This provides the County with additional oversight of placement utilization and costs.
The Agreement also strengthens utilization review and discharge planning requirements. Crestwood must begin discharge and transition planning at admission and participate with the County in documented monthly utilization and level-of-care reviews. Continued placement beyond the County-authorized period requires prior written County authorization. These requirements are intended to ensure that clients remain at the authorized level of care only as long as clinically appropriate and that appropriate transition or lower-level-of-care options are actively pursued.
Crestwood is also required to provide monthly placement and utilization reporting that includes client census, admission and discharge information, authorized versus billed days, supplemental services, clinical review information, discharge and transition planning, incidents, grievances, appeals, Notices of Adverse Benefit Determination, and denied, disallowed, or voided claims. The County may withhold payment for incomplete invoices or missing required utilization documentation.
The Agreement includes fiscal controls requiring invoices and supporting documentation to identify the applicable client, facility, service, authorization, rate, billing classification, and other information necessary for the County to validate payment. The Agreement also includes audit, recoupment, compliance, and documentation provisions intended to protect the County from payment of unauthorized, unsupported, denied, or disallowed costs.
Funding for this Agreement will be provided through available Behavioral Health revenues and Realignment, as applicable to the services and individual placements provided. Certain Mental Health Rehabilitation Center and other IMD-related placement costs are identified in the Agreement as County-only expenditures. Certain Skilled Nursing/Special Treatment Program services may utilize applicable Medi-Cal or other third-party reimbursement, with the County responsible for authorized supplemental or County-only amounts as identified in the Agreement. Available client, Medi-Cal, Medicare, managed care, commercial insurance, or other third-party resources are required to be utilized when applicable. No additional County General Fund contribution is anticipated.
Due to the specialized nature of the residential, rehabilitation, and behavioral health services provided, this Agreement is exempt from formal competitive solicitation pursuant to Section 2-38.2(2) of the County Purchasing Policy/Code for specialized professional services.
Section 2-38 Exemption from Competitive Bidding (rationale in “Executive Summary,” attach documentation, as needed)

5.4Adopt Resolution Authorizing the Submittal of a Grant Application, Acceptance of the Allocation of Funds and Execution of the Grant Agreement with the California Department of Transportation, for the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Matching Grants
Resolution
proposed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
On August 31, 2026 the US Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) offered an Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants to the County of Lake for the Lampson Field East Apron Rehabilitation Project. The California Department of Transportation Division of Aeronautics (State) offers matching grants to assist in meeting the local match for the AIP grants.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) allocates Airport Improvement Program (AIP) entitlement funds in the amount of $150,000 to general aviation airports on an annual basis for eligible projects. These federal funds can be used to reimburse up to 95% of the cost of approved projects. The remaining 5% of costs are borne by the County and a State “match” through Caltrans Division of Aeronautics at a rate of 0.25% and 4.75%, respectively.
This Department has worked with local pilots, FAA staff, and an airport consulting firm to determine the appropriate project to apply for AIP funding this year considering the short-term and long-term goals at Lampson Field. The recommended project is the East Apron Rehabilitation Project. The airport’s apron exhibits both major and minor thermal cracking at regular intervals along its entire length. The 2018 Airport Pavement Management Systems (APMS) report documented that the apron area is in need of rehabilitation. The APMS rated the pavement with a PCI value of 57. The safety of aircraft operations would be improved with the East Apron Rehabilitation Project. The cost for the rehabilitation is $1,224,211. The AIP Grant will cover $600,000, with the AIG covering $563,000, the DOT AIP matching grant covering $30,000, with the local share totaling $31,210.95.
Recommended Action
Adopt Resolution Authorizing the Submittal of a Grant Application, Acceptance of the Allocation of Funds and Execution of the Grant Agreement with the California Department of Transportation, for the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Matching Grants.

Executive Summary
The Lake County Department of Social Services (LCDSS) has contracted with the Lake Family Resource Center (LFRC) for the provision of Differential Response (DR) Services since 2007. DR services are community-based preventative activities designed to alleviate stress and to promote competency and behavior that will increase the ability of families to successfully nurture their children, to enable families to use other resources and opportunities that are available in the community, to create supportive networks that enhance childrearing abilities of parents, and to help compensate for the increased social isolation and vulnerability of families in an attempt to prevent entry or reentry with Child Welfare Services.
On June 16, 2026, an RFP was issued by the LCDSS Child Welfare Division. A total of three bids were received, and LFRC was chosen due to their better understanding of the program and ability to provide direct services.

Agreement
proposed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
Special Districts Administration publicly opened bids for the subject project on Thursday November 6, 2025. Nine (9) bids were received, and the lowest responsible responsive bidder was Terracon Constructors, Inc. of Healdsburg, California.
The project is fully funded by the Integrated Regional Water Management Grant program (IRWM). The scope of the project is to upgrade the existing 4” steel water main on Oak Street, the existing 8” steel water main on Live Oak Drive and a portion of the existing 8” asbestos cement main on Live Oak Drive with new 8” PVC water mains, upgrade the existing valves and fire hydrants, and provide new water services to existing customers. This project takes place on Live Oak Drive in Kelseyville between Main Street to the north and State Route 29 to the south.
The Board awarded the contract for the Live Oak Drive Water Main Replacement Project to Terracon Constructors, Inc. in the amount of $338,968.00 and authorize the Special Districts Administrator to execute the Agreement and execute the attached Notice of Award on January 10, 2026.
This project is Categorically Exempt from CEQA due to the project replacing existing infrastructure.
Lake County Special Districts is closing out the project along Live Oak Dr. in Kelseyville. During the project, three unexpected water services were discovered and had to be added to the project. There had been the expectation of possible cost savings as work progressed which would balance out the cost of adding these services. It was not possible to mitigate originally projected costs to the extent desired, and thus the unexpected addition of water services resulted in change order #1 in the amount of $6,245. No additional funds are required to execute this change order. The project is fully funded by the grant funding. With this change order, the project will be complete and project close out can be completed.
Additional Requested: $6,245. Future Annual Cost: None.

Executive Summary
(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
The Special Districts Department requests the Board's approval to close the Department office to the public between 12:30 pm and 1:30 pm for lunch and from 4:30 pm to 5:00 pm.
Due to current staffing shortages and to ensure reduced overtime we are requesting to adjust office hours to ensure adequate coverage and maintain efficient office operations. This closure will allow staff to take scheduled lunch breaks from 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm while allowing others that take the traditional lunch breaks to conduct business from 12:00 – 12:30pm.
Additionally, all employees responsible for cash handling are required to close out and balance their cash drawers at the end of each business day before leaving. This procedure is necessary to maintain accountability, ensure accurate financial records, and facilitate smooth daily operations. The closure to the public will allow staff to close out their cash drawers and address any potential issues without needing to maintain front-desk coverage. Special Districts administration has three positions that operate the front counter and help the public. Due to vacancies and one staff out on leave, there is only one front-counter employee.
The Department Staff will remain in the office during the 4:30 – 5:00 pm closure to respond to emergencies and maintain essential water and wastewater services via telephone. All customers in the office before 4:30 pm will be assisted. The telephones will be transferred to our answering service during the lunch hour.

5.11(Sitting as the Board of Directors of the Lake County Watershed Protection District) Approve Contract between the Lake County Watershed Protection District and Coleman Construction LLC for the Clover Creek Diversion Channel Habitat Enhancement Project in the amount of $123,750, and authorize the Chair to sign
Agreement
proposed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The Lake County Watershed Protection District recently issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 272224 for the Clover Creek Diversion Channel Habitat Enhancement Project. The project involves removing accumulated sediment and overgrown vegetation from approximately 0.9 miles of the diversion channel near Upper Lake to improve floodwater conveyance, reduce localized flooding risks, and enhance habitat conditions for the threatened Clear Lake hitch.
The District received five proposals in response to the RFP. Following the proposal evaluation process, Coleman Construction LLC was identified as the preferred contractor based on the evaluation of the submitted proposals. Staff recommends awarding the contract to Coleman Construction LLC in the amount of $123,750.
Timely completion of this project is critical. The diversion channel provides important flood protection for the Upper Lake community, and accumulated sediment and overgrown vegetation have reduced its ability to convey stormwater efficiently. With the rainy season approaching and the potential for significant precipitation associated with El Niño conditions, the available window to complete maintenance activities before increased creek flows is rapidly closing.
The work is anticipated to be completed within 30 days, subject to suitable site and weather conditions. Prompt contract approval will allow the District to proceed with the remaining project requirements and authorize contractor mobilization.

Public Hearing
Motion carried
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The County currently maintains agreements with EBA, RSA+, and NCE for professional engineering services. Staff propose utilizing these existing contractual relationships to provide continued engineering support for County Road operations and to also identify a qualified registered civil engineer to serve as County Road Commissioner.
California Streets and Highways Code Section 2006 requires the Board of Supervisors to appoint a single Road Commissioner for all road districts within the County. The appointee must be a registered civil engineer, and the Board must conduct a public hearing to consider the qualifications of the candidate or candidates before making the appointment.
Staff recommend appointing a California registered civil engineer affiliated with one of the 3 selected firms, as County Road Commissioner, effective October 27, 2026. qualifications, relevant experience, and professional registration information are included in the attached materials.
The proposed arrangement would allow the County to continue utilizing all three contracted firms for engineering assignments based on project needs, expertise, and availability, while assigning Road Commissioner responsibilities to one designated individual.
Staff propose a separate agreement with the selected firm establishing the scope of Road Commissioner services, compensation, availability, coordination with County staff, and term of services. The agreement would provide for these services upon appointment of the designated engineer by the Board. Any subsequent replacement of the appointed individual would require separate Board consideration and compliance with applicable appointment requirements.
Notice of the public hearing was posted as required on October 10, 2026, at the County courthouse and published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation within the County, at least 14 days but not more than 30 days before the hearing. Documentation of posting and publication have been provided to the Clerk of the Board and are attached to this item.
Appropriations are available in the road budget due to salary savings from the vacant Public Works Director position.

Staff recommend appointing a California registered civil engineer affiliated with one of the 3 selected firms, as County Road Commissioner, effective October 27, 2026. qualifications, relevant experience, and professional registration information are included in the attached materials.
The proposed arrangement would allow the County to continue utilizing all three contracted firms for engineering assignments based on project needs, expertise, and availability, while assigning Road Commissioner responsibilities to one designated individual.
Staff propose a separate agreement with the selected firm establishing the scope of Road Commissioner services, compensation, availability, coordination with County staff, and term of services. The agreement would provide for these services upon appointment of the designated engineer by the Board. Any subsequent replacement of the appointed individual would require separate Board consideration and compliance with applicable appointment requirements.
Notice of the public hearing was posted as required on October 10, 2026, at the County courthouse and published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation within the County, at least 14 days but not more than 30 days before the hearing. Documentation of posting and publication have been provided to the Clerk of the Board and are attached to this item.

7.2Consideration of Discussion for the South Lake County Fire Permit Fee Waiver Request
Action Item
Staff memo
Executive Summary
South Lake County Fire has requested a Permit Fee Waiver associated with the new District 1 Fire Station at 19287 Hartmann Road, Hidden Valley Lake. This new fire station will replace the currently inadequate facility that was initially constructed as a volunteer station, not intended to support modern 24-hour staffing, firefighter housing or contemporary emergency response operations.
Waiving these fees will allow vital public funds to be reinvested directly into this project. Project planning and design is complete and is in the final steps of securing county approvals, positioning the project to move forward quickly upon receipt of funding. The estimated project cost is $9 million and estimated county planning and building permit fees are $27,000.
