C-15Sitting as the Lake County Watershed Protection District Board of Directors, Approve Second Amendment to Agreement between Lake County Watershed District and Paragon Partners Ltd. for appraisal and relocation assistance services for the Middle Creek flood damage reduction and ecosystem restoration project, at no additional cost, and authorize the Chair to sign.
Agreement
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
We request the Board of Supervisors, sitting as the Board of Directors of the Lake County Watershed Protection District (District) authorize the Chairman of the Board to execute Amendment 2 to an Agreement for Appraisal and Relocation Assistance Services for the Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project. This item is not anticipated to be controversial, therefore, it may be placed on the Consent Agenda.
On March 23, 2004 the District entered into an agreement with the Department of Water Resources for the Flood Protection Corridor Program Grant (5.214 million dollars). Grant funds were frozen in December 2008 due to the State's fiscal problems. The agreement was amended in May 2011 extending the grant and adding additional funds (total funds of12.714 million dollars). The grant provides funds for the purchase of flood prone properties, from willing sellers in the Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project (Project) area. The Project is one step in the process of restoring damaged habitat and the water quality of the Clear Lake watershed.
The grant requires that the acquisition of the real properties and the relocation of the occupants be conducted in the conformance with applicable Federal and State policies and procedures. The State Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act, provides that any public entity may, in order to prevent unnecessary expenses and duplication of functions, and to promote uniform and effective administration of relocation assistance programs, utilize the services of other agencies having an established organization to manage and implement relocation assistance programs.
On October 2, 2012, the Board entered into an agreement with Paragon Partners Ltd. to provide acquisition and relocation services for six parcels with homes. On February 6, 2013, Amendment 1 to the Agreement was approved for acquisition of an additional residential parcel. These homes have been appraised, and the properties purchased. Two property owners declined to sell. Due to delays during acquisition, relocation services have not been completed for one property owner. We are requesting the Agreement be extended from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2014.
We are requesting that the Board of Supervisors, sitting as the Board of Directors of the Lake County Watershed Protection District, authorize the Chairman to sign Amendment 2 to Agreement for Appraisal and Relocation Assistance Services for Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project with Paragon Partners Ltd. at no additional cost.

The State Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act, provides that any public entity may, in order to prevent unnecessary expenses and duplication of functions, and to promote uniform and effective administration of relocation assistance programs, utilize the services of other agencies having an established organization to manage and implement relocation assistance programs.
On October 2, 2012, the Board entered into an agreement with Paragon Partners Ltd. to provide acquisition and relocation services for six parcels with homes. On February 6, 2013, Amendment 1 to the Agreement was approved for acquisition of an additional residential parcel. These homes have been appraised, and the properties purchased. Two property owners declined to sell. Due to delays during acquisition, relocation services have not been completed for one property owner. We are requesting the Agreement be extended from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2014.
We are requesting that the Board of Supervisors, sitting as the Board of Directors of the Lake County Watershed Protection District, authorize the Chairman to sign Amendment 2 to Agreement for Appraisal and Relocation Assistance Services for Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project with Paragon Partners Ltd. at no additional cost.

A-79:30 A.M. - Consideration of departmental request to terminate services provided by BI Incorporated by not renewing their contract which expires on June 30, 2014.
Action Item
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Since September 20, 2011, Lake County has contracted with BI Incorporated for the operation of a Day Reporting Center (DRC). The DRC provides Evidence Based Practices (EBP) pursuant to California's Criminal Justice Realignment (AB 109). The EBPs provided by BI Inc. include substance abuse programming, mental health counseling, alcohol and drug abuse monitoring and intense supervision and tracking of those offenders in the program.
The agreement requires BI to provide minimum staffing of five full time employees (one Program Manager, one Behavior Change Manager, one Substance Abuse Counselor, one Employment/Education Coordinator, and one full-time Client Services Specialist) and two part-time employees (two Client Services Specialists). These services are provided to a maximum of fifty active clients referred by the Probation Department. The current cost of these services is $53,000.00 per month ($636,000.00 annually).
Although these services are necessary, the concern has always been that it is a large sum of money being paid to a company not based in Lake County. As I've outlined in previous Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Executive Committee and BOS meetings, my intent was to monitor the functions of BI with the goal of eventually providing these, or better, services with local resources.
The contract with BI Inc. is set to expire on June 30, 2014. For numerous reasons, I believe it would be best not to renew the contract and to establish a DRC, managed by the Lake County Probation Department, utilizing local resources.
Not only do I believe we can provide better services locally, but my proposal would also improve Probation Department staffing levels and reduce the probation officer to probationer ratio. Ideally, a high risk caseload would be 30-35 probationers to 1 probation officer. Our current ratio is approximately 100 to 1. Realignment significantly increased caseloads, increased our responsibility to provide evidence based treatment and increased the seriousness (risk level) of offenders we supervise. Unfortunately, while probation duties have increased, our staffing level has declined. Because of County budget deficits our funded probation officer positions went from 17 to 15 in Fiscal Year (FY) 13/14. Simply put, we cannot successfully perform our increasing, post realignment, duties with a decrease in staff.
A Probation managed DRC would be a partnership with local service providers. I have already met with Behavioral Health Director Kristy Kelly and, pending CCP and BOS approval, have secured AODS and Mental Health services as components of the DRC. I met with Lake County Office of Education and was assured they would provide Adult Education and GED courses. I have also secured options for Employment Education with Workforce Lake and Alternatives to Violence (Anger Management) courses through Harc Enterprises (Bob Credle).
The aforementioned services are in the preliminary stages of negotiation and, of course, could not be finalized until approved by the CCP Executive Committee and the BOS. If approved I would terminate the contract with BI effective June 30, 2014, work to secure the aforementioned services then use the remainder of the already allocated DRC funds for probation officer positions. Depending on final contracted costs of the services mentioned, I am anticipating having the funding available for between five to seven officer positions. These additional positions would provide the EBP of intense supervision and tracking of AB 109 offenders, as well as reducing our overall probationer to probation officer ratio.
This Proposal was put before the CCP Executive Committee on March 28, 2014. The Committee voted unanimously to terminate BI Inc.'s services and to allocate the contracted ($636,000.00 annually) to the Probation Department for the purpose of operating a DRC and increasing Probation Officer staffing levels.
FISCAL IMPACT: __ None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted
Estimated Cost: $636,000.00 (AB 109 funded)
Amount Budgeted:
Additional Requested:
Annual Cost (if planned for future years): $636,000.00
FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative):
This proposal would not represent a General Fund Fiscal Impact. This would simply be adjusting already approved and allocated AB 109 funding.
STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable):
This proposal would increase Probation Officer staffing levels, decrease our probationer to officer ratio and increase public safety through enhanced supervision.

Your Board adopted revisions to the TOT through its passage of Ordinance No. 2948 on May 24, 2011. The proposed amendments to that Ordinance make no substantive changes. Unfortunately while section and sub-section numbers 18-24 and 18-25 were sequentially correct, those numbers had already been used in Article III of Chapter 18 related to the Documentary Transfer Tax. Starting with Article I, the section numbers run consecutively and therefore the last two sections of the TOT in Article II should have been 18-23A and 18-23B respectively.
The amendment will correct and renumber the last two sections and subsections in the TOT.

Ordinance
Staff memo
In light of recent improvements at the Historic Lucerne Hotel and the Middletown Sr. Center and Library as well as certain structures such as picnic tables, brickwork, cobblestones, fountain areas, planters, sculptures, and ornamental surfaces, it became apparent that the existing ordinance regarding the use of skateboards and the like on County property needed to be updated in order to protect the County's investment as well as those who utilize these facilities.
Your board will recall previous direction to staff to not only provide for such protection, but also to provide an appropriate enforcement mechanism. Additionally, your board directed that any such amended ordinance not only reflect activities that prohibited but also those that were allowed.
Staff believes the attached proposal meets these objectives.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. As always, your continued support of the Public Services Department is greatly appreciated.

A-12Consideration of request to cancel reserves for CSA #2 Spring Valley Reservoir valve repair
Resolution

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
We are requesting your Board's approval to cancel Roads/Bridges and Dams Reserve Designations for CSA #2, Spring Valley in the amount of $15,100.00 and appropriate the funds to 262.8462.784.18-00 -Maintenance- BLDGS & IMPROVEMENTS.
These funds are needed to complete the repairs to reattach the drive shaft to the control rod and complete a video inspection of the gate valve.
During a regulatory inspection, the valve stem broke when exercising the valve. This left the gate slightly open.
The associated costs include a diver to investigate and possibly repair the broken stem; closing the slide gate valve; a video inspection and other repairs as possible. This work needs to be completed quickly to save as much water as possible during the severe drought conditions.
This request is supported by the Spring Valley Advisory Board. Any questions regarding this matter should be addressed to Mark Dellinger or Tanya Michel at 707.263.0119.
