Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Lake Family Resource Center (LFRC) has provided CAPIT services, consisting of Nurturing Parenting Program(r) classes open to all Lake County residents, under prior contracts since 2002.
The current contract has been in place for the last three years pursuant to the three-year CAPIT plan integrated with the Lake County System Improvement Plan approved by your Board on June 7, 2011. As the State has shifted from a three-year to five-year cycle, the new five-year plan will be due in November 2015. The Department is therefore recommending that the CAPIT contract with LFRC be extended to run through December 2015 when the new plan will be in place.
The contract would be at the same rate of seventy thousand dollars ($70,000) per fiscal year, the amount of the State budget CAPIT allocation for Lake County.

Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At the request of the Administrative Office, the Department of Public Works has prepared a proposed right of way dedication across two County owned properties. This dedication would facilitate the ultimate construction of a City of Clearlake project that would extend Dam Road from its current terminus at South Center Drive northward to Phillips Avenue. A summary of the project is as follows:
The Dam Road Extension project is a regional project that is supported by the Lake APC and has received regional transportation funding for project studies and preliminary design. The project is expected to relieve congestion on the State Highway by providing an alternative route for motorists travelling to and from Walmart, area schools, food and grocery businesses, and County facilities. A map of the proposed alignment is attached. Although a high-priority project for the City of Clearlake, the funding for this project was absorbed by the State during the recent Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) funding cycle. Caltrans was able to leverage millions of dollars of funds from a program only available to them; however a condition of that funding was Caltrans obtaining 100% of the RTIP funds that are historically split between the local agencies. If RTIP funds are to be used for the construction of the project, the City's next available funding opportunity will be in 2016.
The proposed alignment affects two County-owned properties: the parcel at 7175 South Center Drive that contains the Behavioral Health Department's Southshore office and a vacant parcel at 15837 18th Avenue. These parcels are approximately 7 acres and 15 acres in size, respectively. During your Board's previous discussions, you provided consensus that any issues related to the dedication across these properties were minimal, developing a road across the County's property would increase its value, and most recently that the dedication should proceed.
Per your Board's direction, attached is the Right of Way dedication paperwork consisting of a grant deed, notary certificate, legal description and plat map. Staff
..Recommended Action
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that your Board find that the Public Road Easement is provided to the City of Clearlake without cost in consideration of the increase in value to the County's property to be realized by developing a public road across said property.
Staff recommends that your Board approve the Right of Way dedication to the City of Clearlake and authorize the Chair to sign the grant deed.
