California Health & Safety Code Section 40801 requires one Legal Professional, one Professional Engineer, one Medical Professional, and two Public Members be represented on the Hearing Board. Mr. Reeves is uniquely qualified, extensively experienced, and proficient in legal hearings of which the Hearing Board takes under consideration.

Mr. Reeves has shown a strong interest in the community and enthusiasm in attending meetings and bringing his expertise to the Hearing Board. The Hearing Board has met less frequently in recent years, but prior years has met up to 8 times a year. The hearing process is both legalistic and technical in nature. Continuing Hearing Board members, as has been the case for the present Hearing Board, has helped greatly in making the process work smoothly and in the public's interest. Because of infrequent meetings, the advantages of having experienced Hearing Board members, and the fact that Mr. Reeves has indicated his willingness to continue, we ask that you reappoint him. Staff believes the LCAQMD is fortunate to have a Member with such strong credentials, history, and unique understanding of our community and environmental matters and is willing to continue to serve on the LCAQMD Hearing Board.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Matt Perry, County Administrative Officer DATE: November 19, 2014 SUBJECT: Lake County Redevelopment Agency Successor Agency Oversight Board EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Due to the State's dissolution of redevelopment effective February 1, 2012, the Lake County Redevelopment Agency Successor Agency Oversight Board was formed and first met on February 13, 2012. The actions of the Oversight Board have been beneficial to both the County and other taxing entities. Most of the Oversight Board's work is complete. (In July 2016, there will be one Oversight Board for the entire County.) Members of the Oversight Board have asked for a report to the Board of Supervisors. This is very timely because a couple members of the Oversight Board will soon leave public office. So it is appropriate that they be acknowledged for their work the past 2 1/2 years. Members of the Oversight Board are as follows Denise Rushing, District 3 Supervisor and Oversight Board Chair; Wally Holbrook, Lake County Superintendent of Schools; Holly Harris, a resident of the redevelopment project area; Jay Beristianos, Chief of Northshore Fire Protection District; Michelle Buell, of the Lake County Office of Education; Larry Perryman, of Mendocino Community College; and Eric Seely, former redevelopment deputy director. Benefits to the County The Oversight Board understood their responsibilities and took appropriate action on some very significant items to maximize benefits to the taxing entities as well as preserve assets of the County. Significant actions include the following: 1. Approved property transfers. The law dissolving redevelopment agencies (ABx1 26) allowed property meeting one of two conditions to be transferred from the redevelopment successor agency to the County. One condition was whether the assets serve a public purpose. Pursuant to this test, the Oversight Board approved, and the State subsequently sanctioned, the transfer of the following properties to the County: Clark's Island in Clearlake Oaks, various parcels for the Clearlake Oaks Senior Center, facilities at Nylander Park, Sheriff Substation in Lucerne, Lucerne Harbor Village, parcels for 3rd Avenue Plaza and Alpine Park expansion, and the Upper Lake Main Street improvements. The other condition was whether the projects were financed with a source other than tax increment funds. Under this criteria, the Oversight Board approved, and the State subsequently sanctioned, the transfer of the following properties to the County: the Lucerne Hotel (purchased by a loan from the general fund), Holiday Harbor (also purchased by a loan from the general fund), and 99 paper subdivision lots (which were donated). 2. Approved $80,000 for matching funds for Safe Routes to School grant for sidewalk improvements along Highway 20 in Clearlake Oaks. 3. Approved eventual repayment of over $2 million of loans from the general fund. Due to restrictions and formulas in the law, the annual repayment amount is estimated to be approximately $125,000. So it will take about 40 years to fully repay the loans. Furthermore, repayment of these loan cannot begin until a loan of $471,000 is repaid to the RDA Housing Successor Agency. 4. Approved operating budgets to meet obligations and a minimal amount of essential staffing costs. Although ABx1 26 allows the County to retain $250,000 of tax increment each year to meet staffing and other costs associated (e.g. audits, etc.) with dissolving the redevelopment agency, the County only requests an amount that staff can legitimately demonstrate as actual costs incurred and to reimburse for actual staff time. The total administrative costs over the 3 and one-half fiscal years since dissolution of the RDA will be approximately $200,000. Whereas, if the County had claimed the full amount allowed, the total would be $875,000. This is money that would have been retained by the County General Fund but to the detriment of other tax receiving entities such as the Fire District, the Road Fund and Library Fund. Benefits for Other Taxing Entities One of the purposes of the Oversight Board is to ensure other taxing entities receive the maximum amount of former tax increment. Accordingly, the Oversight Board approved disbursements of over $1.5 million of uncommitted funds that had been accumulated for low and moderate income housing. These funds were distributed to all tax receiving entities, (Fire District, Library Fund, Road Fund, School districts etc.) in proportion to each entity's normal receipt of property taxes. The Oversight Board also approved the repayment of a $471,000 loan to the RDA Housing Successor Agency that was a result of a loan in FY 2009/10. The amount of money available for repayment is limited to about $125,000 annually Significance of Oversight Board Actions The Oversight Board was also asked to approve audits that were required by the State to ensure appropriate procedures were followed by the County. Over the last 3 years, staff has met several times with staff from the State Controller's Office and Department of Finance. The State has called into question several actions of the County. One of the factors in having the State eventually approve the actions of the County was that the Oversight Board approved these actions. Return of Money Of all the actions taken by the County in the RDA dissolution process, only one action must be reversed. This action was actually taken prior to the RDA dissolution. In March 2011, the RDA paid $385,111 to the General Fund as scheduled payment for loans made in 2001, 2002 and 2009. These payments were made pursuant to pre-existing agreements between the RDA and the County before the law was even effective. However, the law directed the State Controller to review any transfers of money from the RDA that occurred after January 1, 2011. A recent report from the State Controller orders the County to return the $385,111 to the RDA Successor Agency. These funds will then be disbursed to all taxing entities in proportion to each entity's normal receipt of property taxes. Acknowledgement Oversight Board members serve without compensation or without reimbursement to their employing agency. Members of the Oversight Board have filled a vital role in overseeing the dissolution of the Lake County Redevelopment Agency. Staff recommends your Board express its appreciation to those who have served, taking time away from the usual demands of their jobs and businesses. ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: No action recommended. This is a presentation only.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: William Davidson, Director, Lake County Animal Care & Control DATE: November 19, 2014 SUBJECT: Consideration of Ordinance Amending Chapter 4 Section 4.4 of Lake County Code EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In 2012, during the inception of our medical clinic, a number of fees were established by your Board for surgeries, licenses and special services. After two years of operation, the current fee structure was reevaluated in order to determine if there was a need to increase fees based upon rising costs costs for surgical supplies, vaccinations and operations. As a result of the evaluation, staff proposes the following minimal fee increases that will allow the clinic to continue to provide services to rescue groups and income qualified persons: Rescue/Income Qualified Surgery Fees: The following fees were originally established in 2012 when we opened our clinic to assist our local rescue groups. The surgery prices were set just below what we normally charge in a regular adoption, since our local rescue groups assist us in finding homes for unwanted animals. Since the inception of the clinic, we have been offering these prices to income qualified individuals as well (ACAB approval). The proposed fee increases still maintain a slight difference between what we offer to local rescue groups and our normal adoption surgery fee, but have increased slightly to help cover increasing costs. Normal Adoption Surgery Fees: Male Dog $80 Female Dog < 60 lbs $90 Female Dog > 60 lbs $105 *The above fees are not changing Female Cat $55 to $60 Male Dog $65 to $70 Female Dog < 60 lbs $75 to $80 Female Dog > 60 lbs $75 to $90 Pitbull Surgery Fee $50 Males $70 Females Kennel License/Cat Colony Permit Fees Yearly: Our kennel license fees have not increased in the last 6 years and require a significant amount of staff time to maintain. The proposed changes create a flat level fee of $100, $200, or $300 depending on the number of animals one wishes to maintain, as opposed to $90, $155, $230, and an additional $7 for each dog over 16. Special Services: There are numerous items in our special services category that have never been adjusted, which now need to be updated with regard to pricing: Microchips $15 to $20 Pet ID Tags $5 to $8 E Collars $7 to $9 Deceased Animal Disposal $10 to $15 Pet Urns $14 to $20 The above mentioned fees were discussed with the Animal Control Advisory Board on July 21st, 2014 and were all unanimously approved.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Supervisor Brown, District 5 DATE: November 19, 2014 SUBJECT: State of Jefferson Discussion EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Local supporters of the State of Jefferson movement have asked to make a presentation to the Board of Supervisors. No action is being requested at this time. The purpose of the presentation is to fully inform the Board as to the purpose of the State of Jefferson Movement, to explain how the people of Lake County would benefit, and to allow time to ask any questions.

MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Caroline Chavez, Public Services Director DATE: November 4, 2014 SUBJECT: Contracts for Solid Waste Collection EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On November 12, 2013, your Board authorized Public Services and two Board Supervisors Jeff Smith and Denise Rushing to enter into negotiations for a possible contract extension with the County's two current franchise haulers, Southlake Refuse and Lake County Waste Solutions. This recommendation was based on the fact that the haulers' current contract expires on April 22, 2018, and the benefit of continuing with our current two haulers would provide a continuity of good services and low rates as opposed to the extensive time and cost to the County and customers of going out for new contract bids. The experience of other jurisd3ictions who have gone out to bid have been largely unsuccessful and resulted in large increases to the customers. Staff's goal is to preserve the best possible service and lowest possible cost for county residents in an effort to encourage proper disposal of refuse and an affordability that encourages payment for these services. The negotiations with our franchise haulers have concluded and the negotiating team offers a contract extension which is attached for your consideration. Highlights of the contract changes include the following terms and new programs: A. Universal Service: The contract provides for initiation of a pilot program for universal service in the community growth areas which are zones defined in the County General Plan that represent the more urbanized areas of the county. The purpose of the program is to assess the feasibility of universal service and to evaluate whether it achieves the anticipated benefits. The primary benefit to be achieved is to reduce the ongoing problem of illegal dumping by people who are either illegally dumping their own garbage or are hiring illegal haulers who are in turn illegally dumping refuse. Other anticipated benefits include: * Reduced accumulation of personal debris (blight) on properties; * Increased diversion of recyclable materials. * Increase revenue from the disposal of refuse at the landfill. Even if these benefits are achieved, the feasibility of operating the program will depend a number of issues including: * Resulting delinquency rate and aggregate delinquent amount. * Cost of collecting delinquent accounts including amount staff time required to track accounts, corresponding with owners, and process for placement on the tax roll, * The amount of staff time needed to track changes in ownership and educate property owners about the program. * The extent to which the other anticipated benefits been achieved. The universal service program will focus on single-family and multi-family residential properties and will require the property owner or their delegate (e.g. a tenant, manager) to subscribe to weekly curbside service for the occupants of the property, which could be either the owner-occupant or a tenant-occupant. No matter whom the occupant though, it will be the financial responsibility of the property owner to insure the service is obtained and paid. The pilot program is expected to start in two of the eleven community growth areas in January 2016. If all goes well, it would eventually roll into all eleven of these growth areas. Collection of garbage service fees will be the responsibility of the franchise hauler but prolonged non-payment can result in the unpaid fees being assigned to the County for placement as a lien on the property. The universal service requirement is subject to Prop 218 requirements so the Waste Management Division will be required to follow the prescribed protocol for notifying all of the affected property owners prior to the implementation in order to allow any protests to be filed. However, since the large majority of property owners in these areas already subscribe to curbside service, there is no expectation that protests will exceed the required 50%+1 that would trigger a vote. Prior to the implementation the haulers and the County will continue to market voluntary signups for curbside service based on its advantages and low cost. The universal service program is outlined in more detail in the attached. B. Road Impact Fee: The franchise haulers will pay a road impact fee annually to the Public Works Road Department to offset the cost of repairs from the impact by the refuse trucks to the County roads as they collect and transport refuse to the landfill. The fee was calculated by a consultant contracted by Public Works and is based on the weight of the vehicles and trip frequency. The total annual fees are $60,000. C. Household Hazardous Waste Collection: The new contract has the franchise haulers assuming the County's household hazardous waste collection program in lieu of Mendocino's Hazmobile. Under this approach, which will begin in June 2015, a temporary half-day (4-hour) collection event will be established twice each month which will alternate between the Lakeport Transfer Station and the Quackenbush Recovery Facility adjacent to the landfill. So, for example, during one weekend in August, Lake County Waste Solutions will accept HHW at their Lakeport Transfer Station for four hours on Friday and also four hours on Saturday. Then, during one weekend in September, SouthLake Refuse will accept HHW at their Eastlake Landfill Recycling Center during a four hour period on Friday and also four hours on Saturday. The County's intention is to provide a more predictable and convenient site for HHW collection as compared to the mobile program currently operated by the Mendocino Hazmobile. It will also all with County to have more direct control over this vital program. Funding mechanism. Currently the cost of conducting an HHW event is funded from the general operating funds of the Solid Waste Department. Because the cost is not tied to a specific funding mechanism, the City of Lakeport does not contribute to the cost of such HHW events even though city residents benefit from the service. Under the new proposal, the cost of HHW events would be funded from the existing franchise fee mechanism which currently requires haulers to pay 6% of the tipping fees that are attributable to County-generated refuse. By modifying this calculation to also include the refuse attributable to the City of Lakeport that is accepted at the Lakeport Transfer Station, it provides an opportunity to tie HHW funding to a specific funding mechanism that includes the City of Lakeport. D. Increased Franchise Fees: The current franchise fee represent 6% of the gate fees paid by the franchise haulers on the volume collected from curbside and commercial customers in their franchise areas. This arrangement will continue to be reflected in the new contract but this calculation will be modified to also include tonnage that LCWS accepts at their Lakeport Transfer Station from Lakeport Disposal and self-haulers. The proposed contract also provides an additional franchise fee of 5% of the haulers gross receipts. This additional franchise fee will be necessary to fund County costs associated with implementation and management of universal service including: 1) the cost of administering the program, which among other things include educating property owners, title companies, realtors, and others about the program, 2) the cost of reimbursing the haulers for delinquent garbage service fees (i.e. more than 60 days past due) which result from universal service, 3) the costs (staff time in the Auditor's Office, Tax Collector's Office and the Public Services Office) associated with placement of liens on the tax roll of the delinquent service fees, and 4) the cost to fund a full-time Code Enforcement Officer whose duties will also include a component to help ensure residents in the community grown areas are educated about and complying with universal service requirements. E. Contract Term: The proposed Term is for 20 years beginning January 1, 2015 with a franchisee option for two five-year extensions. The length of the contract will provide a reliable financial foundation for the haulers to seek financing for purchase of new equipment and/or capital improvements. F. Other New Programs: Additional new programs are already in the early implementation stages at the haulers recycling facilities including: o A sharps program that provides free disposal of sharps/needles used by residents for the medical needs of themselves or their pets. o A free paint drop-off program for used paint. G. Other Continuing Programs: The haulers will continue to provide the following programs: o Curbside Residential Program: -Free 90-gallon greenwaste cart and 90-gallon mixed recycling cart provided as part of service. -Bulky Item curbside pickup by appointment of up to two large items per year. -Customer quarterly newsletters for public education. o Recycling yard: -Free used oil drop off at recycling yard. -Free recycling drop-off for cardboard, paper, metal, plastic, car batteries at recycling yard. -Free electronics and appliance drop-off at recycling yard. -Low or no-cost tire disposal in conjunction with the County's available grants. -Low-cost green and woodwaste disposal. -Low-cost disposal options for asphalt, concrete, and dirt o Commercial Customer Program: -Free recycling assessment to help customers save money -Free recycling bin up to same size as refuse bin. H. Minor changes to existing programs. o Styrofoam will no longer be accepted as a recyclable material because there is no viable market for the material. o SLR will continue to offer CRV redemption value for eligible beverage containers to its recycling yard customers, but LCWS will not because of increased fraud and theft. Neither hauler is eligible for reimbursement by the State for the CRV funding because they are not adjacent to a grocery store where most of the CRV redemption programs continue. The discontinuance of CRV redemption at the transfer station will not result in a reduction in service or inconvenience to the public as there are currently four other sites in the Lakeport/Kelseyville areas which offer redemption. The existing HHW buyback building at the transfer station will be converted into a an enclosed HHW drive-through drop off center, which is a better use of that building and will provide an improved experience for customers. The approval of the proposed contract will also require some changes in the County's solid waste ordinances which will be presented as a separate item to your Board.

Universal Service Program Development Considerations The target date for implementation of the pilot program is January 1, 2016. Between now and then, a task force will be convened to develop the specific policies and procedures needed to implement and conduct the program. The following represents a framework for some of the critical issues that will need to be addressed and further refined: I. Application: a. Will only be applicable in "Community Growth Areas." b. Will be rolled out in one or two such areas at a time starting with those areas that are believed to be least challenging. c. Will apply to single-family residential and multi-family residential (e.g. trailer parks, apartments with 5 or more units). d. Will not apply to commercial property or undeveloped property. II. Implementation: a. Upon activation of the universal service requirement in a County-selected Universal Service Area, at its sole cost, franchise haulers will identify (using data from the County Recorder's Office) property owners who are eligible to subscribe to universal service. The franchise haulers will then notify such owners in writing of the universal service requirement and service options. b. Single-unit and multi-unit property owners shall be required to sign up for service within 30 days (subscription period) of the effective date of the universal service requirement in their area. Subsequent to that activation, owners of existing single-unit and multi-unit properties shall be required to subscribe within 30 days of the effective date of their ownership and owners of newly constructed single-unit and multi-unit properties will be required to sign up for service within 30 days of issuance of a "finaled" building permit issued by the Community Development Department. Notwithstanding these subscription periods, at its sole cost, the franchise haulers shall quarterly review records of the Lake County Recorder's Office and the Lake County Community Development Department for the purpose of determining ownership changes and newly constructed residential units from which the franchise haulers shall identify eligible property owners who have failed to subscribe in accordance with these subscription requirements. The haulers will then cause written notice to be mailed to the owner(s) of the real property so affected (copied to the Public Services Director) directing the owner to subscribe for service with 15 days from the date of the notice or show cause why such person should not be required to subscribe. If service or cause is not established within 15 calendar days from the notice date, then the County may require the hauler to initiate service. c. Multi-family residential properties will be encouraged to utilize communal service whereby tenants utilize one or more common dumpsters rather than receiving individual trash receptacle service; the intent being to reduce wear and tear of streets within multi-unit complexes. To this end, the franchise haulers may impose an additional charge, as shall be established in the agreed upon rate schedule, to those individual residents within a multi-residential complex that choose to subscribe for service. d. Education. Written notices will be mailed to all eligible property addresses as well as to the owners of such properties (if at a different address) which details their service options and obligations under universal service. Included in the mailing will be an FAQ which will also be publicized and posted on the County's website. Besides notifying residents and property owners, other stakeholders, such as title companies, Realtors and Property Managers, will need to be identified, notified and educated about the program. III. Enforcement: a. The ultimate responsibility to make payment shall rest with the owners of single-unit and multi-unit properties. When a tenant initiates service and requests the bill be sent to them, a notice will be sent to the property owner which they must return if they concur with their tenant's request. The owner shall be notified of any delinquency. b. Single-family residential service will not be discontinued for non-payment. Instead, after 105 days past due, haulers will reduce service to the minimum non-recyclable solid waste service offered under the franchise agreement and haulers will be allowed to discontinue collection of recyclables. Absent the authority to discontinue recyclable pick-up, the reduction in the size of the garbage containers will be of no benefit (i.e. will not incentivize payment) since it will result in customers putting their trash in the recycling carts. c. Multi-family residential service can be discontinued for non-payment after 60 days. d. Code Enforcement Officer: Duties include, verifying occupancy, identifying non-compliance, education, abatements, and issuing citations. e. Infraction and Fine: It shall constitute an infraction for an owner of a single-unit or multi-unit residential property in the universal service area to fail to sign-up for service or to timely pay for service. Upon conviction, such violation shall be subject to a fine of $100 for first offense, $200 for second offense, and $500 for third and subsequent offenses. The fine will be eligible to be placed on the tax roll, along with the delinquent service fees. IV. Billing and Collection a. Single-Unit Properties: * New single-unit residential customer accounts that are established by virtue of the Universal Service Area collection requirement will pay three (3) months advance payments upon initiation of service. * Franchise haulers shall bill single-unit residential customers quarterly in advance with customers being required to pay their bill within 30 days from the invoice date. * If the invoice has not been paid within 30 days, the franchise hauler shall begin collection efforts. If, after reasonable collection efforts and warning notices, the invoice has not been paid in full within 105 days after the invoice date, service may be reduced and that the owner may be subject to an infraction and fine and the hauler shall initiate other collection activities * Accounts that remain unpaid for a period of 60 or more days after the close of the period for which it was billed (i.e. 120 days from invoice date), shall be eligible to be assigned to the County for collection via the tax roll. * Low-income and/or Elderly Discount. The pilot program will provide an opportunity to explore several alternatives for providing discounts to low-income and/ or the elderly. In reviewing how such accommodations are provided in other areas, three options appear to be most prevalent including: i. Income Based: Provide a discounted rate based on household income. The downside to this approach is the administrative burden it places on the governing agency or franchisee related to income verification. ii. Service Based: Provide service on either a bi-weekly, once-a month, or bi-monthly basis. As with the above, this approach also requires income verification unless it was limited to only those over a certain age. iii. Size Based: Instead of providing a cart for collection of solid waste, smaller trash bags are made available for purchase at a deeply discounted rate. As above, this approach also requires income verification unless it was limited to only those over a certain age. b. Multi-Unit Properties: * Unlike single-unit properties, no advance payments will be required. Franchise haulers will bill multi-residential customers monthly in arrears. * Service fees shall be due within 30 days of invoice. If the invoice has not been paid in full within that initial 30 days, the hauler shall send the owner (and the tenant, if applicable) a second request. The second request shall include a warning notice that if the fees due are not paid within 60 days calendar days from the original invoice date, service may discontinued and that the owner may be subject to an infraction and fine as well as a tax lien. Upon the expiration of 30 more days from the date of the second notice, the hauler shall initiate other collection activities including, but not limited to, at least two attempts to collect via telephone. c. Assignment of Bad Debts: Bad debts that arise from single-unit and multi-residential properties that are subject to the universal service requirement, may be assigned to the County by the hauler. County will immediately reimburse hauler for those bad debts and County will place those bad debts as a lien of the tax roll. Bad debts are defined as accounts that are at least 60 days past due and for which the hauler has attempted meaningful collection efforts. In turn, County will place the debts as a lien on the property and collect via the tax roll. V. Exemptions: a All single-unit and multi-unit residential properties will be required to subscribe. No exception is made for residential properties that serve as vacation, summer, or week-end homes. Nevertheless, the obligation to subscribe for the collection of minimal non-recyclable solid waste, source-separated recycling and green-waste collection service(s) may be exempted/discontinued under the following circumstances: i. Upon satisfactory evidence submitted on an annual basis (or such other time as may be reasonable requested by County or Franchisee), by the property owner that no food is prepared or consumed on the residential premises by the current occupant; or ii. Upon satisfactory evidence submitted on an annual basis (or such other time as may be reasonable requested by County or Franchisee), by the property that no solid waste of any kind is being generated on the residential premises by the current occupant(s). iii. Upon satisfactory evidence submitted on an annual basis (or such other time as may be reasonable requested by County or Franchisee), by the property owner that the residential premises is not connected to water and electrical power and water and electrical power cannot be provided to such premises without action by a public utility or mutual water company; provided that such exemption shall terminate upon occupancy of such units. b The application for an exemption pursuant to this Subsection or renewal of an already authorized exemption must be initiated by the property owner even if the property owner does not occupy the property. Any property owner claiming an exemption pursuant to this Subsection shall file a statement under oath or under penalty of perjury with the franchisee stating the facts upon which exemption is claimed and, in the absence of such statement substantiating the claim, such person shall be liable for the payment of the solid waste collection fees required by this article. c Applications for exemption or renewal of an already authorized exemption may require an on-site inspection by franchisee or County staff. d In the event an exemption is granted, it may be reviewed as needed to determine whether the exemption still applies. e. Revocation. The franchisee, after giving notice of not less than ten (10) days and a reasonable opportunity for hearing to any person claiming an exemption pursuant to this section, may revoke any exemption granted upon information that the person is not entitled to the exemption as provided herein. f. Approved exemptions are not transferrable.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors on Behalf of CSA 20 Soda Bay Water FROM: Mark Dellinger DATE: November 13, 2014 SUBJECT: Agreement Between CSA 20 Soda Bay Water & Water Works Engineers for Final Engineering Design Services EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This system is under a connection moratorium issued in 2011 by the SWRCB-Division of Drinking Water. A rate increase that included fees for a loan to assist in financing the costs the system improvements was approved by the CSA 20 customers in late 2011. In June of this year, your Board approved a funding agreement for the design costs for this project. That funding agreement is in the amount of $500,000 with $400,000 being a grant and $100,000 being a loan at 0% interest with a five year repayment term. The rate increase mentioned above provides for the repayment of this loan. The work described in the attached agreement (with Exhibit A-Work Scope) was the subject of a competitive consultant selection process in September-October whereby a request for proposals in September-October was sent to eight engineering consultant firms, and posted on the Special Districts link to the County website. Firms were provided 45 days in which to respond. However, the only firm to submit a scope and budget proposal in response to this solicitation was Water Works Engineers. We concluded that this occurred because Water Works had previously performed preliminary design work for the system improvements (also through the same competitive selection process) due to their highly detailed technical knowledge of the system and its needs. Because the vast majority of the funding for this design work is to be paid for through the DDW design grant, it was necessary to request concurrence from that State agency given the fact that we received only one proposal. They did concur because we followed the County's procurement policies and actually exceeded the standard response time of 30 days. In summary, DDW felt that Special Districts followed a comprehensive process and ultimately received an excellent proposal from a well-qualified firm. It should be noted that Water Works included a local engineering firm (Ruzicka Associates) on the team of professionals in their proposal.
