Budget Unit 2711, Spay-Neuter Programs, requires an additional contribution of $5,800 for operating revenues to cover a decrease in fees from medical services. In accordance with Government Code Section 29130, unanticipated revenues may be made available for specific appropriation by a four-fifths vote of the Board. The Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) is greater than estimated in the FY 13/14 Budget and there is sufficient revenue to amend the FY 13/14 Adopted Budget as proposed in the attached resolution. The program will be brought up for discussion in the upcoming FY 14/15 budget workshop, as it is partially supported by a contribution from the General Fund.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: The Honorable Board of Supervisors FROM: Steven Hajik, Agricultural Commissioner DATE: June 24, 2014 SUBJECT: Resolution Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue to Fund Weed Control Programs EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Each year, the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) allocates to each eligible County, a portion of the statewide unclaimed gas tax. In order to be eligible to receive this funding, the net County cost of operating this department must meet or exceed the net County cost as averaged over the preceding five years. To date, the county received $400,954 in revenue which is $29,621 more than anticipated. In order to maintain our eligibility to receive an allocation of next year's unclaimed gas tax, we need to expend $28,000 of this unanticipated revenue this year in order to maintain a net county cost of operating the department that is in excess of the five-year average. Fortunately, some of the costs associated with certain weed control programs operated by the County's Public Works Department are eligible expenditures under the CDFA formula, but these expenditures need to be reflected in the budget of the Agriculture Commissioner rather than the Department of Public Works. Because the Agricultural Commissioner budget does not have sufficient appropriations to support these expenditures, some of the unanticipated revenue received this year needs to be appropriated. The appropriate Resolution is attached herewith for your consideration.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: The Honorable Board of Supervisors FROM: Caroline C. Chavez, Public Services Director DATE: June 25, 2014 SUBJECT: Mt Konocti property purchase by BLM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Background: During the years the County was working on the acquisition of Mt. Konocti for a County Park, the County worked in coordination with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to increase the publicly-owned and accessible property on Mt. Konocti by having BLM agree to utilize their property exchange fund program to purchase two of the contiguous parcels also held by the same Mt. Konocti property owner. However, BLM(s source of funding was not available within the time frame of the option agreement deadline the County had with the owners. Therefore, the County and BLM agreed that the County would initially purchase all of the parcels involved in the proposed acquisition and BLM would buy back the two agreed-upon parcels once they had acquired the funding needed from their property exchange program. Since the purchase date in 2011, BLM initiated the required acquisition process which included having an appraisal done of the two parcels under consideration.. This process took approximately a year and the resulting appraised value was a number that was significantly lower than anticipated value. However, the location and attributes of the two parcels were reviewed by the County assessor and County surveyor, and the value was deemed appropriate based on the location and overall declining land values for comparable properties since the original purchase. The two parcels are essentially on the steep eastern slope of Konocti with no access, essentially land-locked. Consequently the County determined they would not challenge the appraised value of $291,000 for the two parcels. With our acceptance of the appraised value, BLM has acquired the funding and would like to move forward with the original exchange of land as agreed upon when the property was purchased in 2008. If your Board decides to concur with this recommendation, the process would then proceed through the other levels of regional, state and federal offices, and is expected to take up to six months. This process requires the completion by the Ukiah BLM office of the following documents: $ Draft Environmental Assessment Report $ Draft Decision Record $ Draft Notice of Decision $ A Summary Report $ An updated issue paper, maps, and related information, Solicitor(s review and other pertinent information All documents will first go to the State Sacramento office for review and approval by the State Director, who in turn will forward to Washington for review, and concurrence. This process could take up to 130 days. Upon receiving concurrence from the Washington director, the Draft Notice of Decision becomes final which is then published in the local newspapers in Lake County. The Notice of Decision allows for a 45 day comment period. Assuming no protests are received, then BLM will move forward with closing, setting up escrow, and transferring Patents to CAL-BLMX, Inc. who in turn will deed the Patents to potential buyers and have County of Lake transferred the private parcels by grant deed to the United States. As a part of the original MOU, the County also entered into an agreement for the services of CAL-BLMX, Inc., a private firm who performs all of the valuations and purchases with all the parties in the exchange program to identify and raise the funds for the purchase. Their commission is 7% of the exchange funds, or in this case $20,370.00. FISCAL IMPACT: __ None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Estimated Cost: Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: The exchange was evaluated by County staff designated by your Board, including the Public Services Director Caroline Chavez, County Counsel Anita Grant, County Administrative Officer Matt Perry, and County Supervisor Rob Brown. Their recommendation is to concur with the appraisal and request your Board allow the transaction to proceed. If your Board concurs, a four-fifths affirmative vote is required. Attached are the following documents to allow this transaction to proceed including: 1. Resolution Authorizing the sale of certain County owned properties located on Mt. Konocti 2. Bureau of Land Management - Feasibility Report 3. Maps showing Area of Interest to BLM and property to be purchased 4. Memorandum regarding acquisition of Fowler property for conservation purposes 5.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Matt Perry, County Administrative Officer By: Marisa Chilafoe, Emergency Services Manager DATE: June 26, 2014 SUBJECT: Office of Emergency Services Update and Action Items EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: a) Continuation of Proclamation of a Declaration of a Local Emergency On March 4, 2014, your board proclaimed a state of local emergency due to ongoing drought conditions, and extended the proclamation on April 8, 2014, May 13, 2014, and again on June 10, 2014. Pursuant to State law, your Board is required to review the status of the declared emergency every 30 days. Although we experienced some rainfall this spring, annual rainfall levels remain well below average and as the summer months continue, the severity of drought conditions will continue county-wide. The County remains prepared to seek State or Federal assistance should the need arise to address drought issues as conditions persist. Therefore, continuing the declaration of an emergency and maintaining a proactive approach will allow the County to qualify for funding that has been specifically set aside for drought relief purposes and minimize the drought's impact on Lake County. b) Drought Task Force Update The Governor's Office of Emergency Services ("Cal OES") continues to conduct weekly drought conference calls in order to monitor conditions statewide and coordinate assistance for Operational Areas, in which County of Lake Office of Emergency Services ("Lake OES") continues to participate and provide the county-specific updates requested. Special Districts continues to monitor Lake County water table levels in their community water systems, as well as coordinating solutions and conservation outreach for their customers in partnership with California's Department of Public Health ("CDPH") Drinking Water Program. To further support these efforts Lake OES has formed a local Drought Task Force to closely monitor the situation and coordinate the efforts of the County's response, engaging other water companies and community conservation efforts. As the drought situation escalates, and impacts a larger majority of water purveyors in Lake County, we feel it is necessary to expand the reach and efforts of the Drought Task Force and provide a single, coordinated message to the public. The Task Force will meet in the next two weeks and provide a comprehensive report to the Board at the July 22nd meeting. c) Review of County Conservation Efforts In support of drought conservation efforts, the Department of Public Services has reduced water use significantly in all parks, keeping landscaping alive but not as green as in previous years. Lakeside Park, Alpine Park and Lucerne Harbor Park rely upon lake water, but as the lake level drops this may impact access to this water source. Upper Lake Park and Middletown Park have wells and much of the watering is done at night to prevent evaporation. The remaining parks utilize domestic water for irrigation and restrooms. Restrooms are a significant user of domestic water, and if there is vandalism that affects the plumbing, that can increase water use. Public Services has cut back watering by at least 20%, as was recommended by the Governor to the entire State. Sprinklers are only being run at night or while a parks worker is on site dealing with a specific timed application for a problem area. The most significantly impacted areas are the parks along the Northshore, Highway 20 corridor. If those domestic water sources start rationing beyond the levels are already utilized, we could start losing some lawns. That category also includes Museum Park in Lakeport. Public Services has also cut back on the water at the Courthouse landscaping. Many of the parks were developed with State grants that require the County maintain the landscaping. Public Services has identified those parks and are doing what they can to keep that landscaping alive while keeping the water use as low as possible. If the water sources for those decrease or impose heavier restrictions, they are prepared to work with the State in that regard. d) Update on Water Systems under Urgency Ordinance for Emergency Water Conservation Restrictions: CSA #16 Paradise Valley Water, CSA#18 Starview Water, CSA #7 Bonanza Springs Water and CSA #22 Mt Hannah e) OES Program Update During the Disaster Council meeting held on Wednesday, June 25, 2014, the Council adopted the Strategic Plan (see attached). The Strategic Plan address six goals necessary for the response and preparedness measures OES will work to implement in the coming years. These goals include the following: 1. Prepare for the consequences of an emergency in the Lake Operational Area; 2. Evaluate the current EOC and identify a new and alternate facility as necessary; 3. Ensure an effective response to an emergency in the Lake Operational Area; 4. Implement comprehensive networking, community preparedness and outreach programs; 5. Evaluate current Operational Area communications capabilities, procedures and interoperability, and identify improvements; 6. Evaluate current Lake Operational Area response resources, capabilities and activation procedures and identify improvements. Each of the six goals include a series of objectives and strategies, and a time specific calendar to accomplish each goal.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: The Honorable Board of Supervisors FROM: Rob Brown, Supervisor District 5 DATE: June 26, 2014 SUBJECT: Request for Consideration of Approval to Replace the existing County Criteria for Naming County Parks and Facilities with a revised Park, Recreational Facility, County-Owned Building, and Street Naming Policy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The County has an existing policy concerning the criteria for naming County parks and facilities, but that policy does not address commemorative plaques and does not include County streets. Periodically, I receive requests from members of the public concerning the possibility of honoring a particular person or family through the placement of some type of monument or through some type of commemorative naming of a County building, street, or recreational area. I believe it would be of benefit to the residents of Lake County to have a single comprehensive policy regarding both the official and commemorative naming of County-owned property, facilities, recreational areas, and streets. Staff drafted the attached policy with significant input and revisions from the Public Services Department. It was reviewed by the Department of Public Works. I ask that this Board consider adopting this revised County Policy.
