Agreement
passed on consent
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Subject property has been annexed through LAFCO into KCWWD#3
As with all privately constructed sewer or water mainline extensions, the developer has property that is either required to connect to sewer due to the proximity of the property to the termination point of the existing public sewer line, or in the case of water, because the developer wishes the property to be served by one of Special District's maintained CSA's rather than by a well.
Skip Gibbs owns property on the south side of Kelsey Creek Drive, APN's 008-730-06 and 008-730-09. He began this project in May of 2009 and is currently working with Gordon Haggitt to create a subdivision map of four parcels. He will build a water mainline extension to serve the parcels or sell the, or build spec homes, or whatever else he chooses to do with the property. A parcel owned by the Garrison's has frontage on Kelsey Creek Drive and is enveloped by Skip's property on three sides. (See attached Assessor's map). The Garrison's are currently served by a well, but will be provided a waterline connection point served by the KCWWD#3 after the Dedication and Conveyance of the completed waterline to KCWWD#3.
The properties were not originally within the district boundary but were annexed through the LAFCO process on 9/15/10.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Since 2003, we have contracted with IEDA for Public Authority labor negotiations. The annual rate of $22,588 has remained the same since fiscal year 2011/12. We are recommending renewal for 14/15 because the IEDA negotiator has established relationships with IHSS provider union representatives and with the County bargaining team as well. In addition, as noted last year and as per state law, we continue to anticipate that the state will assume responsibility for labor negotiations in the next few years. For these reasons, staff concludes that it is in the County's best interests to continue to contract with IEDA.

Report

Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Sheriff's office requests your Board's approval to purchase a 2005 Brush Bandit Wood Chipper. With the increase of large commercial/DTO (drug trafficking organization) marijuana grow operations in Lake County, the department has found that using a chipper to destroy the marijuana is more efficient than loading one trailer at a time for destruction. During the 2013 marijuana grow season, the Lake County Sheriff's Office borrowed a wood chipper from the California State Park's and from the Mendocino County Sheriff's office. This placed availability limits on our operations.
We have researched the availability of a used chipper. Several are offered for sale in the $25,000 to $35,000 range. Staff eventally located a used chipper available from California Tree Equipment in Marin County at a cost of $24,000 plus tax. This purchase has been approved by the DEA and is fully reimbursed by their agency.
We recommend your Board waive the formal bidding process, pursuant to the Purchasing Ordinance section 38.2, making a determination that competitive bidding would produce no economic benefit to the County and authorize the Sheriff/Coroner/Assistant Purchasing Agent to issue a purchase order for procurement through California Tree Equipment. There is currently $25,000 allocated in the Sheriff/Marijuana Budget (BU 2203), object code 62.74. A budget transfer for the balance is attached for your approval.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Lake County Courthouse - 4th Floor
As your Board is aware, preparations for the construction of a new courthouse near Lakeport Boulevard are on-going. Currently the project is in the architectural and engineering working drawings phase, with completion of the project expected towards the end of 2017. The project is funded and managed by the state and not the County. The courts are a separate branch of government, now independent of the County administrative structure. Currently the County and the courts share the same building, the County collects court-imposed fees and fines, and we work together in many areas, but we are separate branches of government. The court will eventually vacate the fourth floor, but County offices will remain in the existing courthouse building. County departments will eventually be able to utilize the vacated space on the fourth floor to help address the County's space needs. While this transition is still a couple of years away, it is important for the County to begin planning early for the transition and lay the groundwork for planned use of the space. Staff requests an initial discussion with your Board to provide direction for potential utilization of the space by the County.
A variety of options exist for utilization of this space and staff would like to begin considering alternatives for eventual use of the fourth floor of the Courthouse. Recently the Administrative Office released a request for proposals for appraisal services to determine the value of the fourth floor and consideration of a future plan by the Board would be timely. The County has previously discussed the idea of creating a one-stop permit center on the 4th floor that could combine the essential agencies for permit approval, and streamlining the process for the public. Special Districts and the District Attorney have previously expressed a need for additional space and would be interested in utilizing a portion of the 4th floor. There are undoubtedly additional ideas that should be explored as the project proceeds, and additional County departments with space requests which could potentially be accommodated. In particular, it would be preferable to have a determination from the Board on whether consideration for other locations for Special Districts should be considered in light of the recommendation below.
Air Quality Management District
The Lake County Air Quality Management District (AQMD) has been designating funding, as available, initially for the construction of a building on land purchased near their current offices at the Lake County Agricultural Center. Their current allocation of office, lab and storage space is quite limited and is non-contiguous. This provides challenges for adequate operations and workflow. The AQMD staff has worked with the Space Committee for the past few years to analyze the potential for purchasing an existing building due to the high cost of constructing a new building. A variety of locations have been analyzed in the Lakeport area. Maintaining a location nearby the current premises is necessary to limit the regulatory hurdles of significant movement of the District's monitoring equipment. Staff has initially analyzed a variety of potential locations, and considers the building located at 2617 South Main Street, to be a potentially viable option. The property includes a building that is 16,500 sq. ft., which is much more than what is required by the District, and currently houses a variety of tenants, primarily for storage and including an auto repair shop. The AQMD would propose utilizing approximately 5,500 sq. ft. allowing a variety of options for use of the additional space. The space proposed to be used by the AQMD would not initially impact any of the current tenants and could remain for a period of time. One benefit to the County of having the building owned by the District with paying tenants would expand the ability of the District to provide local incentive and assistance programs. The rent revenue could be used to fund grants to local truck or agricultural operators for the Carl Moyer Program, a wood stove change out program, and other community benefit programs. In addition, other county departments could potentially utilize the additional space, should the County or the District purchase the building. Possible partners which have been discussed to date are Special Districts, the Office of Emergency Services, the Lake County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue team, among others. Some of these alternatives may work better than others, and staff recommends they deserve further research to identify the ideal partners in any potential purchase.
Before additional staff time and resources are dedicated to a potential project, staff recommends the Board consider conceptual approval of purchase of the building at 2617 South Main Street, Lakeport. The Space Committee has met with a variety of potential partners both on-site and off-site, and hereby recommend to the Board to conceptually approve the project and establish a negotiating team. This will allow the opportunity for additional due diligence while allowing confidential negotiations.
..Recommended Action
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Lake County Courthouse - 4th Floor: Request a discussion and conceptual direction related to utilization of the 4th floor of the courthouse by the County. Staff recommends direction to undergo an analysis and prepare a space plan for future consideration. (Sitting as the Board of Supervisors)
Air Quality Management District: Recommend conceptual approval of the purchase of property located at 2617 South Main Street, Lakeport and establish a negotiating team to further analyze a potential purchase. (Sitting as the AQMD Board of Directors)

Special Districts and the District Attorney have previously expressed a need for additional space and would be interested in utilizing a portion of the 4th floor. There are undoubtedly additional ideas that should be explored as the project proceeds, and additional County departments with space requests which could potentially be accommodated. In particular, it would be preferable to have a determination from the Board on whether consideration for other locations for Special Districts should be considered in light of the recommendation below.
Air Quality Management District
The Lake County Air Quality Management District (AQMD) has been designating funding, as available, initially for the construction of a building on land purchased near their current offices at the Lake County Agricultural Center. Their current allocation of office, lab and storage space is quite limited and is non-contiguous. This provides challenges for adequate operations and workflow. The AQMD staff has worked with the Space Committee for the past few years to analyze the potential for purchasing an existing building due to the high cost of constructing a new building. A variety of locations have been analyzed in the Lakeport area. Maintaining a location nearby the current premises is necessary to limit the regulatory hurdles of significant movement of the District's monitoring equipment. Staff has initially analyzed a variety of potential locations, and considers the building located at 2617 South Main Street, to be a potentially viable option. The property includes a building that is 16,500 sq. ft., which is much more than what is required by the District, and currently houses a variety of tenants, primarily for storage and including an auto repair shop. The AQMD would propose utilizing approximately 5,500 sq. ft. allowing a variety of options for use of the additional space. The space proposed to be used by the AQMD would not initially impact any of the current tenants and could remain for a period of time. One benefit to the County of having the building owned by the District with paying tenants would expand the ability of the District to provide local incentive and assistance programs. The rent revenue could be used to fund grants to local truck or agricultural operators for the Carl Moyer Program, a wood stove change out program, and other community benefit programs. In addition, other county departments could potentially utilize the additional space, should the County or the District purchase the building. Possible partners which have been discussed to date are Special Districts, the Office of Emergency Services, the Lake County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue team, among others. Some of these alternatives may work better than others, and staff recommends they deserve further research to identify the ideal partners in any potential purchase.
Before additional staff time and resources are dedicated to a potential project, staff recommends the Board consider conceptual approval of purchase of the building at 2617 South Main Street, Lakeport. The Space Committee has met with a variety of potential partners both on-site and off-site, and hereby recommend to the Board to conceptually approve the project and establish a negotiating team. This will allow the opportunity for additional due diligence while allowing confidential negotiations.

Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Lake County Sheriff's office requests your Board send a letter of opposition on behalf of the County of Lake, opposing the amendment to the FY 2015 Commerce-Justice-Science (CJS) appropriations bill that was recently passed by the House of Representatives. This amendment would prohibit the Department of Justice from using any funds in states that have passed medical marijuana initiatives.
This amendment would stop the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) from being able to investigate and prosecute issues such as marijuana distribution to minors, trafficking by cartels and diversion of marijuana to states which have not passed any marijuana initiatives.
Illegal marijuana grows are extremely dangerous: growers are heavily armed and many grows are booby-trapped. Law enforcement faces tremendous peril in addressing the issue. The environmental damage created by illegal marijuana grows is a significant factor, with crimes such as water theft, stream diversion, illegal grading, silt deposits and chemical runoffs into streams.
