7.7Adopt Resolution Amending Resolution No. 2013-96 Establishing Position Allocation for FY 2013-14, Budget Unit 4011, Public Health to: (a) establish two temporary position allocations to be eliminated upon the employee’s retirement: Public Health Nurse Trainee I/II / Public Health Nurse I/II & Nurse Various; (b)Change the current Child Health Coordinator, Supervising position to a Public Health Nurse III; and (c) Change the current Business Software Analyst position to a Staff Services Analyst I/II.
Report
proposed on consent
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
With the approval of both the County Administrative Officer and the Human Resources Director, Health Services would like to request the following allocation changes.
The Public Health Division has been notified by four nursing staff members that they will be retiring at different times but all by the end of October. These retirements leave the division virtually without nursing staff to run our programs. We would like to hire nurses now to begin the training process. Funding to support this request will come from our programs. Cost savings will be realized as the new nurses will be replacing nurses that have been on staff for many years and will hire in at lower rates.
We request the following temporary position allocations which will be eliminated upon the employee's retirement:
One Public Health Nurse I/II Trainee/Public Health Nurse I/II
One Nurse Various
We are also requesting to change the current Child Health Coordinator, Supervising position to a Public Health Nurse III and add an asterisk (*) next to the allocation for Child Health Coordinator, Supervising . The Child Health Coordinator, Supervising allocation will be eliminated upon the employee's retirement on September 2, 2014. Changing this allocation will allow the PHN III to supervise several different grant programs as well as staff. Also, licensure in this PHN III position allows the department to utilize the position in other areas.
At this time, we would also request that the open Business Software Analyst allocation in Public Health be changed to a Staff Services Analyst I/II. It will be expected that this position will support several different grant programs.
If you should have any questions or require additional information, please contact Denise Pomeroy, Health Services Administrative Manager or myself at 263-1090.

9. Non-Timed Items

9.2Consideration of Animal Control Officer Safety Policy regarding training and use of batons in the field
Action Item
Staff memo
RE: Officer Safety Policies
In early 2009 the Board approved the carrying and use of Pepper Spray by our Animal Control Officers, for personal defense from attacks by animals and people.
In November of 2012, Animal Control Officer Roy Marcum of Sacramento was shot and killed through the front door of a residence he was approaching. As a result, in the Fall of 2013, we were able to afford the purchase of kevlar vests for our Animal Control Officers.
I am here today to request one more piece of equipment that will allow our officers to remain safe while performing their duties in the field. A 24" straight handled wooden baton to ward off and defend against vicious animal attacks. Approximately 35% of the calls our officers respond to are for loose dogs. Of those loose dog calls, approximately 37% are for vicious animals. Several times a month, our officers respond to vicious dog complaints and must confront the animals in question, and take command of the situation. Often times, during routine calls for service, our officers are surprised by a loose vicious dog, which charges them from behind a broken fence or from around a corner. The ability for our officers to be able to immediately defend themselves is crucial in determining the outcome of the encounter.
The attached policy has been reviewed and approved by county counsel, and outlines the use of the baton, all required reporting, and the necessary training that must be put in place before any Animal Control Officer would be allowed to carry a baton.

The purpose of this funding agreement is to assist in financing the cost of studies, planning and final design for a project which will enable CSA #20 to meet the requirements of the CDPH permit and meet drinking water standards.
In addition to the resolution authorizing the funding agreement, your board must approve the budget for this project. A resolution appropriating unanticipated revenues in the amount of $500,000 to the CSA #20, Soda Bay capital project is also being requested at this time.

Resolution
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On January 9, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Lake County Watershed Protection District adopted the Westside Sacramento Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP). The IRWMP was developed to meet State requirements for working cooperatively in managing the regional water resources and for seeking future State funding for water management within the Westside Sacramento River Subregion. This Subregion covers the Cache Creek and Putah Creek watersheds and includes parts of five counties: Lake, Yolo, Solano, Napa and Colusa.
At the time, neither the County or the special districts under the administration of Lake County Special Districts adopted the IRWMP. In order to be eligible for funding under the California Department of Water Resources Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) program, the governing body must adopt the IRWMP.
Lake County Special Districts is currently applying for a Drought Preparedness grant under the IRWM program for the Mt. Hannah, Paradise Valley and Spring Valley water systems. In order to be eligible for this grant, the County must adopt the IRWMP.
In order for the Lake County Sanitation District and Kelseyville County Water District No. 3 to be eligible for future IRWM funding, each District must also adopt the plan.
