..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FROM: CAROL J. HUCHINGSON, SOCIAL SERVICES DIRECTOR DATE: JULY 30, 2014 SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR APPROVAL TO PAY LATE TRAVEL CLAIM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: I am requesting Board approval to pay the attached travel claim of June Culbertson, Social Worker I-CPS, for required travel on April 15, 2014. On that day, as a new Social Worker, Ms. Culbertson attended mandated training for her work in our Child Welfare Services Branch.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Matt Perry County Administrative Officer DATE: July 26, 2014 SUBJECT: Approve First Amendment to the Lease Agreement between the County of Lake and Marymount California University for the facility known as the Lucerne Castle EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: As previously authorized by your Board in December, staff has negotiated an amendment to the lease with Marymount California University for the property known as the Castle. The amendment is necessary to conform the lease with dates of occupancy and completed renovations as described below. 1. Dates of lease term. The lease term (see Section 2) is changed from an effective date of July 1, 2013 and ending June 30, 2028 to an effective date of August 1, 2014 and ending June 30, 2029. This provides for the fifteen years of occupancy as originally intended. Other dates in the lease (e.g. Section 16) are also changed to August 1, 2014 for internal consistency 2. Early occupancy. The amendment relieves Marymount from paying for utilities for early occupancy (see Section 3). This is recommended since Marymount did not have full use and enjoyment of the premises for the last year and therefore, did not have the ability to recover their costs. 3. Lease payments. The date on which lease payments are increased (see Section 5) and the trigger for purchase price escalation (see Section 10) is changed from July 1, 2018 to July 1, 2019. This provides for five years of occupancy before the lease payment and purchase price is increased as originally intended. 4. Renovations. The original Lease Agreement obligated the County to provide a fifth classroom on the First Floor (see Section 11) but did not address the responsibility to provide ADA compliant parking. Marymount has agreed to forego the development of the fifth classroom so that the money that was going to be allocated for those improvements can be re-allocated to ADA compliant parking and exterior lights. The amendment reflects this substitution. 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: Staff recommends your Board approve the First Amendment to the Lease Agreement between the County of Lake and Marymount California University, Palos Verdes, California for Lease of Buildings and Grounds located at 3700 County Club Drive, Lucerne; and authorize the Chair to sign.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Directors, Lake County Watershed Protection District FROM: Scott De Leon, Water Resources Director DATE: July 31, 2014 SUBJECT: Request Authorization for the Chair to Sign Amendment 1 to Agreement for Engineering Services for Water Availability Analysis - Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Department will provide an update to the Board of Supervisors, sitting as the Board of Directors of the Lake County Watershed Protection District, on the status of the water right studies for the Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project (Project). We are also requesting the Board authorize the Chair to sign Amendment 1 to the Agreement for Engineering Services for the Water Availability Analysis. On April 10, 2012, an agreement was executed with Stetson Engineers to conduct hydrologic studies to determine the amount of additional storage and available "new" water created by the Project. Findings from these studies to date are summarized below: * All existing data was collected and analyzed to determine if additional data was required to develop a model for Clear Lake operation. As a result of this analysis, it was determined to model the lake operation for the 65 year period of Water Year (WY) 1947 through WY 2011 (October 1, 1946 through September 30, 2011). * The preliminary water availability analysis showed that all 39 historical spill years over the 65-year analysis period (1947-2011) except 1959 would also have spills under operations in exact accordance with the Court Decrees. This suggests that there are frequent opportunities for the Project to capture spills and create available water. * The Project increases the size of Clear Lake, both in volume and surface area. These changes how fast the lake fills and drains for the same amount of runoff and releases. The increased surface area also increases the amount of evaporation. A new model was developed to show how clear Lake plus the Project reacts to same inflows and outflows. * In addition to the water stored in the Project area, 817 acres of crops are irrigated with lake water in the Project area. These lands will be taken out of production with Project implementation, making the applied irrigation water of 2,648 acre-feet available for other uses. * District staff and Stetson Engineers met with Yolo representatives during this period to present the model assumptions to Yolo for their concurrence. It was felt that this would reduce having further issues when the Water Availability Analysis (WAA) was presented. This additional work was authorized by the District, although it was not included in the Scope of Work within the Agreement. * A model was run with Clear Lake under With-Project conditions using the existing Solano Decree criteria, and it showed that it would reduce the volume of water available for release to Yolo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (Yolo) by an average of 760 acre-feet per year, adversely affecting Yolo's pre-existing water right. * Revised operating criteria for the Solano Decree were developed and the model was run with Clear Lake under With-Project conditions. Over the 65 year period, Yolo's average maximum release would be increased by 766 acre-feet and an additional average of 4,326 acre-feet would be available in spill years (years when flood waters are released by Yolo). * These findings are presented in the Draft WAA as required by the contract. The next phase for the WAA is to present the Draft WAA to Yolo for their review and comment. This work is included in Amendment 1 to the agreement. It includes two meetings with Yolo to review the Draft WAA and make modifications as required prior to preparing the Final WAA for Yolo and the SWRCB Division of Water Rights (a requirement to obtain our Water Right Permit). Amendment 1 also includes funding for the additional services which were authorized in the preparation of the Draft WAA. Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors, sitting as the Board of Directors of the Lake County Watershed Protection District, authorize the Chair to sign Amendment 1 to the Agreement for Engineering Services for the Water Availability Analysis.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Directors, LACOSAN FROM: Mark Dellinger DATE: July 30, 2014 SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understanding Between Lake County Sanitation District and Highlands Mutual Water Company Relating to the LACOSAN Fillmore Tank Antenna Project EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: BACKGROUND The goal of this project is to improve the network capabilities that support current and future operating systems which require reliable, safe, and secure internet communication. This is for the Southeast Regional Wastewater System. These improvements will benefit our access to the Arc GIS system, asset management (City Works), Executime, SCADA systems for 1) Southeast Treatment Plant 2) Geysers Pipeline, 3) Spring Valley Water Plant, and 4)Middletown Wastewater Treatment Plant. Funds were budgeted in the previous fiscal year for this activity. However, it required more time than anticipated to identify the most cost effective solution. Our Utility Area Superintendent has been collaborating for over a year with the IT Department to find the most cost effective method to achieve this goal. When a solution was identified a few months ago, our Superintendent began to discuss its potential with the Highlands Mutual Water Company. About 6 weeks ago, our Superintendent and Deputy Administrator-Fiscal made a presentation to the Highlands Mutual Water Company Board of Directors and their General Manager. Staff from the IT Department also attended to provide technical support. The solution is to install an antenna on the Highlands Mutual Fillmore Water Tank. The actual installation work will be performed by our staff in Utility Area 1 (Southeast Regional Plant). A memorandum of understanding was negotiated with Highlands Mutual Water Company to provide LACOSAN with access to install and maintain these facilities. If the Board approves the MOA, it will take 4-6 weeks to purchase and install the equipment. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING The MOA identifies the conditions under which LACOSAN will install, operate, and maintain the equipment. The specific locations for the various components are shown in exhibits "A" and "B" of the MOA. Because this Tank Antenna Project benefits LACOSAN, we believe it is appropriate for LACOSAN to pay the PG&E bill. This amounts to approximately $390.00 per year ($32.50/month). This is provided for in the FY 14/15 budget (B.U. 8354, 30-00 Utilities). The MOU was approved by the Highlands Mutual Water Company Board of Directors on 7/23/14. Staff recommends approval. ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends the Board of Directors of the Lake County Sanitation District (LACOSAN) approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between LACOSAN and the Highlands Mutual Water Company relating to the LACOSAN Fillmore Tank Antenna Project and authorize the Chair to sign the MOU. Please have the Chair sign both original copies and return one original copy to Special Districts. We will distribute this original to the Highlands Mutual General Manager. Questions regarding this matter should be addressed to Mark Dellinger.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Matt Perry, County Administrative Officer DATE: August 4, 2014 SUBJECT: Request for Election Services EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Melissa Swanson, Clearlake City Clerk, has forwarded to our office a request from the City Council for the Registrar of Voters to provide election services necessary for the consolidation of election services for the City's General Municipal Election on November 4, 2014. The City Council requests placing on the ballot a measure seeking voter approval of a transactions (sales) and use tax of one-half percent for citywide cleanup and improvement.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Mark Dellinger, Special Districts Administrator DATE: August 7, 2014 SUBJECT: CSA #22- Mt. Hannah for a New Well EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On June 10, 2014, your Board approved by Resolution #2014-74 to appropriate $50,000 in loan funding for drilling a new well for this public water system. These funds will be reimbursed by the State Water Resources Control Board-Division of Drinking Water. The actual drilling date was delayed because the driller was very busy due to the current drought. However, the Board-appropriated funds were not carried over into the current fiscal year. We are now receiving invoices for the work and we wish to pay these local vendors as soon as possible. Therefore, the attached Board resolution will appropriate these funds in the new fiscal year beginning 7/1/14. FISCAL IMPACT: __ None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Estimated Cost: $50,000 Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution Amending Approved Recommended Budget for FY 2014-15 to Appropriate Money in Budget Unit 8482 - CSA #22- Mt. Hannah for a New Well and add the purchase of this well to the list of fixed assets authorized to be purchased prior to the adoption of the final budget.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Jill Ruzicka, Senior Administrative Analyst DATE: August 7, 2014 SUBJECT: OPPOSE - SB 1139 (Hueso) - California Renewables Portfolio Standard Program EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Danielle Matthews of Calpine Corporation requested that the Lake County Board of Supervisors send a letter of opposition to SB 1139 (Hueso). Representatives from Bottle Rock Power and Northern California Power Association were contacted for their input, and were in agreement with Calpine's request. Ms. Matthews stated that Calpine has been working for months to find positive solutions that could be submitted as an amendment to this bill, but they were not successful. Therefore they are requesting letters of opposition from those who would be adversely affected by the passage of this bill. There is an attached list of those who have registered opposition. The bill requires investor-owned utilities (IOU) and other "retail sellers" of electricity, as defined in the Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) to buy 500 megawatts (MW) of electricity generated by new (i.e. constructed after January 1, 2015) geothermal power plants by 2024, over and above the existing renewable energy procurement requirements of the RPS. The bill seems to have the intent of promoting the use of new geothermal energy over other renewable sources, such as wind, solar and biomass. There is great concern that the mandate to procure new geothermal puts at risk the ability of existing biomass, geothermal, wind and solar facilities with expiring contracts to renegotiate new contracts. There has also been criticism that the bill is being introduced to specifically benefit the economic and environmental issues of the Salton Sea in the Imperial Valley, which is part of the author's district. It is anticipated that the majority of the new geothermal facilities will be built in Senator Hueso's district which includes The Salton Sea Known Geothermal Resource Area Calpine has two permitted projects that they would like to move forward with, but will be unable to do so without first securing long-term contracts for existing facilities that have contracts expiring between 2017 and 2021. If this bill is passed, those contracts could possibly not be renewed due to the requirement that the utilities purchase geothermal energy from plants that have not yet been built. If existing geothermal facilities in The Geysers are unable to secure new contracts because of the requirements of this bill, the economic impacts could be devastating for Lake County. ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends your Board to approve and sign the Letter of Opposition to Senate Bill 1139.

..Title ..Body TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Alan D. Flora, Deputy Administrative Officer DATE: August 4, 2014 SUBJECT: Proposal from Konocti Broadcasting Company requesting the temporary reduction or waiver of tower rental fees EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Your Board may be aware that Jesus Christ Fellowship owns a low power TV broadcast station located in Lakeport and rents space from the County of Lake's communication tower for broadcasting equipment. Local resident John Jensen has created Konocti Broadcasting Company (KBC), through which he intends to purchase the station. KBC intends to provide local programing through the station as well as stream the content on the web in partnership with Lake County News. KBC has submitted a proposal which requests the reduction or waiver of tower rent fees for one-year while the station transfer is completed and programming is developed. In exchange for the proposed reduction or waver of fees, KBC proposes to offer services to the County, which includes broadcasting marketing material, emergency information, and public service announcements. Approximately 40% of the current tower rental fees are dedicated to costs of operation which include 25% for management of the tower, utility costs, and road maintenance. Staff does not recommend the Board approve waiving all of the rental fees, but only a portion of the fees that are not out-of-pocket costs to the County. A reduction of fees for up to one-year would allow KBC to establish its operation. Staff would propose working with KBC to determine specific in-kind services to be provided in exchange for the fee reduction. The services could include marketing services, expanded emergency information updates, and other public information. KBC has not yet received approval of transfer of control of the station from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Staff recommends entering into an agreement upon verification that the FCC has approved this transfer. 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: Recommend the Board conceptually approve the proposal to reduce KBC's tower rental fees for one-year to include only the County's out-of-pocket costs such as management fees, utility costs, and road maintenance fees in exchange for in-kind services. The final agreement will be returned to the Board for approval upon verification of successful approval of KBC's transfer of control from the FCC.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Marisa Chilafoe, Emergency Services Manager DATE: July 31, 2014 SUBJECT: Drought Task Force Update and Board direction to address drought conditions EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Staff advises that the Lake County Drought Task Force will meet on Thursday, August 7, 2014, at 2:00 p.m. in the Board Chambers to discuss current drought conditions in Lake County, potential solutions, consistent outreach and public messaging, and next steps. Staff will provide a verbal report for the Board during the meeting on Tuesday, August 12, 2014 and may seek Board direction on actions to address drought conditions.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Marisa Chilafoe, Emergency Services Manager DATE: July 31, 2014 SUBJECT: Continuing the Proclamation of Emergency Declaration for Drought Conditions EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: 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, June 10, 2014, and again on July 8, 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 the severity of drought conditions will continue to worsen in the summer and fall months. The Governor's Office of Emergency Services ("Cal OES") continues to conduct weekly drought conference calls in order to monitor conditions statewide while Special Districts continues to monitor Lake County water table levels in several community water systems due to critically low levels. To further support efforts the County of Lake Office of Emergency Services 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. The County remains prepared to seek State or Federal assistance should the need arise to address drought issues if 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. FISCAL IMPACT: X 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: Staff recommends your Board extend the Proclamation of a Declaration of a Local Emergency due to drought conditions.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Marisa Chilafoe, Emergency Services Manager DATE: July 31, 2014 SUBJECT: FY-2014 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Funding EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The FY-2014 EMPG Application is due August 21, 2014, and staff would like approval from the Board to apply for a total award amount of $138,648.00, with a 50% cost match (cash or in-kind). At the time of writing this memorandum staff has proposed the following projects: Project A: Lake County Office of Emergency Services ("Lake OES") Staffing and Facility Operating Costs This project includes staffing Lake OES with a full-time emergency services manager and a part-time emergency services assistant to perform the full spectrum of emergency management functions to ensure the County and the Operational Area are prepared for, can respond to, can recover from and can mitigate all-hazards and all-threats events. Without these minimal staffing levels, the County will not be poised to prepare for or respond during emergencies due to a lack of key staffing as identified during the independent review of the Lake OES program in 2012. This project also includes funding the costs of lease space and network services for the Lake OES office and the County Emergency Operations Center ("EOC"). Without this funding, Lake OES would not be able to provide a viable EOC for the Operational Area, including phone and internet connectivity. Project B: Staff Training and Education Enhancing emergency response and preparedness capabilities through training is critical to ensuring the sustainability of the Lake OES program as well as the County during an emergency. This project covers the cost of travel and registration expenses to send the emergency services manager to the California Emergency Services Association ("CESA") annual conference. The CESA conference provides the most comprehensive networking and California-specific emergency management information in the nation. This project also covers the cost of travel and tuition for the emergency services manager to attend the California Specialized Training Institute ("CSTI"), a national leader in emergency management education by the State of California. CSTI's Emergency Management Specialist certificate program provides a series of rigorous and comprehensive professional courses in disaster management for emergency managers across the state. Project C: Community Emergency Response Team ("CERT") Training and Development Following the Wye Fire of 2012, it was determined that a CERT program would have dramatically increased the response and evacuation capability of the Spring Valley community. There are many other remote communities throughout Lake County that would benefit from having a strong CERT program to increase community resilience during disaster situations. Through partnerships with the Red Cross, Lake OES hopes to grow and sustain active CERT programs throughout the County. Project E: Responder Operations Strengthening responder operations and the function of emergency management in Lake County will have a direct impact on our ability to respond effectively during an event. Inter-agency coordination, joint drills and exercises, and an understanding of the role of the EOC by field-level responders (fire, law enforcement, EMS, and local government) is critical to the effective response to all-hazards, all-threats events including hazardous materials, acts of terrorism, and natural disasters, as well as the recovery process. Project F: EOC Staff Training Ensuring that staff tasked with filling EOC positions during an emergency have the requisite training to fulfill their prescribed roles during an emergency is of paramount importance. A fully function EOC is necessary to support the response to an emergency at the local level. This project includes hiring a consultant to provide intermediate and advanced level Incident Command System training, including the development and delivery of course materials, training aids and participant meals. The purpose of EMPG funds is to provide assistance in providing emergency preparedness for the protection of life and property throughout the United States from hazards, and to vest responsibility for emergency management at the local level. Staff will develop procedures to document in-kind matches that will contribute to the overall 50% cost match requirement. The remaining funds are being allocated during final budgets in the Office of Emergency Services budget unit 2704 for FY 2014/15.
