Board Of Supervisors — Tuesday, April 15, 2014

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Jill Ruzicka, Senior Administrative Analyst DATE: April 15, 2014 SUBJECT: Approve Letter Supporting SB 1410 (Wolk and Nielson) Requesting Appropriation of Funds to Fulfill Outstanding Department of Fish and Wildlife PILT Obligations and Begin Making On-going PILT Payments EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Fish and Game Code Section 1504 specifies that when income is derived directly from real property acquired and operated by the State as wildlife management areas, the DFW shall pay annually to the county in which the property is located an amount equal to the county taxes levied upon the property at the time title was transferred to the State. These Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) are intended to offset adverse impacts to county property tax revenues that result when the State acquires private property for wildlife management areas. Non-payment of PILT funds is currently part of the Board's State Legislative Priority list. The State has failed to make a single PILT payment to Lake County in the last twelve years. Lake County is currently owed $199,578 in back monies. If annual payments were to resume, it would equal approximately $16,833 per year. Current legislation, SB 1410 (Wolk and Nielsen), seeks to appropriate $19 million from the State General Fund to the Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) to make payments to counties for outstanding obligations related to Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT). SB 1410 is set for hearing in the Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee on Tuesday April 22, 2014. In an effort to coordinate a united, collective voice for this effort in the Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee, the Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC) has requested that all effected counties write letters of support for SB 1410 (Wolk and Nielson).

..Title Request to Approve MOU Between County of Lake and St. Helena Hospital Clearlake ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Kristy Kelly, Behavioral Health Director DATE: 4/2/14 SUBJECT: Request to Approve MOU with St. Helena Hospital Clearlake EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Section 5150 of the Welfare and Institutions Code provides that "When a person, as a result of a mental disorder, is a danger to others, or to himself or herself, or gravely disabled, a peace officer....or professional person designated by the county may, upon probable cause...take...the person into custody...for assessment, evaluation and crisis intervention or place him or her for evaluation and treatment in a facility designated by the county for 72-hour evaluation and treatment." These facilities are required to be licensed by the State Department of Public Health, and are typically acute psychiatric hospital settings. Responsibility for county designation of "professional persons" under this code is held by the Mental Health Director. In Lake County, such designation has been limited to employees of the Behavioral Health Department who are specifically trained to the legal constraints of imposing involuntary care under W.I.C. 5150. Staff persons who have been determined capable of properly conducting a 5150 assessment are issued employee badges that identify that this authority has been granted to them. This authority may be removed by the Mental Health Director at any time, and expires when the staff member leaves employment with the department. Behavioral Health was approached by St. Helena Hospital, Clearlake, with a proposal that psychiatrists available for consultation to their Emergency Department via telepsychiatry be authorized to conduct 5150 assessments and make recommendations for placement to designated facilities. LCBH met with the lead psychiatrist by telephone and determined that their experience with other county systems, and their understanding of the meaning of the transfer of authority under 5150 was sufficient to allow us to proceed with preparation of an MOU with St. Helena Hospital, Clearlake. County Counsel and St. Helena Hospital Clearlake's legal staff created final language for this document. LCBH is prepared to move forward with training the psychiatrists on local application of 5150 and resources available when criteria is not met for involuntary treatment., Each psychiatrist will be individually qualified and "badged" to do this work on behalf of Lake County. We anticipate that including this option to our array of crisis services will improve wait times for clients and reduce pressure on our partners. We expect that this will be a quality addition to the community and those we serve. Your support is respectfully requested.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: SUMMARY: Attached, for your approval, is the second Amendment between the County of Lake and California Psychiatric Transitions for Mental Health Rehabilitation Center Support and Specialty Mental Health Services for Fiscal Year 2013-14. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: California Psychiatric Transitions (CPT) is a fully licensed Mental Health Rehabilitation Center (MHRC) located in the San Joaquin Valley. This facility provides rehabilitation services and has the ability to render constant and immediate attention as required by clients. The client placed in this facility continues to require a high level of care. It was hoped that the client could be stepped down to a lower level of care; however, at this time, it is unlikely that this will occur prior to the end of the fiscal year. As such, we are requesting an increase in the contract in order to provide this level of care through 6/30/14 for the client. FISCAL IMPACT: __ None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Estimated Cost: Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): FISCAL IMPACT: LCBH is requesting approval of the Amendment for 2013-14 for an additional amount of $104,820. $83,085 was appropriated to this object code during the mid-year budget process which is being utilized to fund this request as well as a $21,735 budget transfer included with this request. The revised contract maximum is $229,242. This contract is funded by Realignment and Managed Care. STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDATION: LCBH is requesting the approval of the Amendment to the Agreement between the County of Lake and California Psychiatric Transitions for Fiscal Year 2013-14 for a contract maximum of $229,242 and authorize the Board Chair to sign the Agreement.

..Title ..Body TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FROM: Kristy Kelly, MA, MFT Behavioral Health Director DATE: 03-24-2014 SUBJECT: Second Amendment to the Agreement between Lake County Behavioral Health and Redwood Creek Community Living Center for Adult Residential Support Services for Fiscal Year 2013-14. SUMMARY: Attached, for your approval, is an Amendment to the Agreement between the County of Lake and Redwood Creek Community Living Center for Adult Residential Support Services for Fiscal Year 2013-2014. As utilization has been less than expected, Lake County Behavioral Health (LCBH) is requesting a decrease in the original Agreement amount. This decrease is being utilized for an increase at another facility. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: Redwood Creek Community Living Center provides adult residential support services for clients referred by LCBH by providing structured services and activities 24 hours per day, seven days per week including recovery services, crisis prevention and medication and program management. As utilization has decreased at this facility, LCBH is requesting a decrease in the original Agreement. FISCAL IMPACT: LCBH is requesting that the original Amended Agreement for $20,000 be reduced by $7,000 to a total of $13,000 due to decreased utilization at this facility. The reduction of $7,000 will fund utilization at another facility within this object code. This contract is funded through Medi-Cal reimbursement of fifty percent (50%), Managed Care and Realignment funds. ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDATION: LCBH requests approval of the Amendment to the Agreement between the County of Lake and Redwood Creek Community Living Center for the contract maximum amount of $13,000 and to authorize the Board Chair to sign the Agreement.

..Title ..Body TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FROM: Kristy Kelly, MA, MFT Behavioral Health Director DATE: 03/24/2014 SUBJECT: First Amendment to the Agreement Between County of Lake and Community Health Care HIV/AIDS Program for Provision of HIV/AIDS Counseling and Case Management Services for Lake County Residents for Fiscal Year 2013-14. SUMMARY: Attached, for your approval, is an Amendment to the Agreement between the County of Lake and Community Care for HIV/AIDS Counseling and Case Management for Fiscal Year 2013-14. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: The original contract with Community Care was approved by County Counsel and the Behavioral Health Director as it was under $10,000. As Community Care has secured a Medical Director that can oversee the HIV/AIDS testing, LCBH is requesting an increase to the contract maximum in order to include the expenses related to the testing program beginning March 1, 2014. FISCAL IMPACT: An increase of $405.64 is requested to provide funds for testing supplies and travel costs related to the testing program. The new contract maximum amount, if approved, will be $10,305.64 and is funded by Realignment and MHSA. ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDATION: LCBH is requesting the approval of the Amendment to the Agreement between the County of Lake and Community Care for Fiscal Year 2013-14 to increase the contract maximum to $10,305.64 and to authorize the Board Chair to sign the Agreement.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Richard Coel, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Approval of Agreement between the County of Lake and Dixon Backhoe Service and General Engineering for Abatement of Nuisance Conditions April 15, 2014 Agenda Item DATE: April 7, 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Community Development Department entered into an agreement with Dixon Backhoe Service and General Engineering for abatement of nuisance conditions at 17777 Morgan Valley Road. Work was completed by Dixon's subcontractor, Ground Control, consistent with a Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate. Due to significant complexity with the scale of this abatement and timing constraints under an Abatement Warrant, staff inadvertently entered into this agreement without first obtaining Board authorization. The contractor completed the work for $15,000 and was able to keep abatement costs under control due to the scrap value of most of the materials. This is despite the abatement taking two weeks to complete. Regardless, the amount of this agreement exceeds the $10,000 limit that can be approved by a Department Head. Staff regrets this oversight and has modified internal procedures so that this does not get repeated. Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the attached Agreement between the County of Lake and Dixon Backhoe Service and General Engineering. 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 MOTION: I move that the Board of Supervisors approve the Agreement for abatement services with Dixon Backhoe Service and General Engineering for abatement of nuisance conditions located at 17777 Morgan Valley Road, Lower Lake, in the amount of $15,000 and authorize the Chair to execute said agreement.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: The Honorable Members of the Lake County Board of Supervisors FROM: Don A. Anderson, District Attorney DATE: April 3, 2014 SUBJECT: Action Item for April 15, 2014 Board of Supervisors Meeting EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On March 18, 2014 the Board passed Resolution 2014-43 to amend the budget for the District Attorney in order to purchase a 3-D Laser Scanning System. The Board asked to review the Purchase Agreements and service/maintenance contracts prior to the purchase.

In lieu of contracts, attached are the quotes for the FARO Focus 3D-X130 Laser Scanner and the accompanying Visual Statement EdgeFX diagramming software. The annual maintenance and updates for both the hardware and software are optional, but necessary for the data to be used in court so we prepared contracts to cover these costs.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Board of Supervisors FROM: Bob Weiss, Deputy County Counsel DATE: April 10, 2014 SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending Transient Occupancy Tax Ordinance No. 2948 Your Board adopted revisions to the TOT through its passage of Ordinance No. 2948 on May 24, 2011. The proposed amendments to that Ordinance make no substantive changes. Unfortunately while section and sub-section numbers 18-24 and 18-25 were sequentially correct, those numbers had already been used in Article III of Chapter 18 related to the Documentary Transfer Tax. Starting with Article I, the section numbers run consecutively and therefore the last two sections of the TOT in Article II should have been 18-23A and 18-23B respectively. The amendment will correct and renumber the last two sections and subsections in the TOT. 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): N/A ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: The ordinance amendment will require the standard two readings. If your Board wishes to adopt the ordinance, Board action will be as follows: 1. First, a motion to waive the reading of the ordinance and read it in title only. 2. Second, a motion to advance the ordinance on the Agenda for consideration of passage.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Matt Perry, County Administrative Officer Alan D. Flora, Deputy Administrative Officer Jill Ruzicka, Senior Administrative Analyst DATE: April 9, 2104 SUBJECT: Visitor Information Center Closure; Interactive Kiosks; Modification to Lake County Chamber of Commerce Contract EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Background In January 2014, the Tourism Advisory Board recommended that an all-day, facilitated workshop take place to focus on how Lake County should be positioned as a travel destination. John Poimioroo was hired to facilitate the workshop, which took place on March 26, 2014. Attendees included twenty representatives from the tourism industry, business community, wine industry, the Cities of Lakeport and Clearlake, the County, and the Lake County Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Poimiroo has an extensive background in tourism. He served as the State Tourism Director of the State of California, in the capacity of Deputy Secretary for Tourism of the California Trade and Commerce Agency; currently runs Poimiroo & Partners which provides marketing communications services for destination marketing organizations; and is also a regular travel writer for several publications. Mr. Poimiroo strongly recommends that Lake County take significant and immediate action to attract more visitors. The discussion focused on tactics and reallocation of funds to market Lake County and "build its brand." County of Lake Marketing Budget Lake County has experienced a steep decline in Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue since the closure of Konocti Harbor Inn Resort and the recession that began in December 2007. The amount of TOT received by the County in FY 12/13 was 47% of the amount received in FY 07/08 representing a loss of almost $500,000. The decline in revenues means the County needs to take a hard look at how limited resources are being spent. In the 2013/2014 adopted budget, approximately $375,000 is allocated to destination marketing for Lake County. VisitMendocino, Mendocino County's Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) spends approximately $1 million a year on destination marketing and Humboldt's Convention and Visitor Bureau has a budget of approximately $1.5 million for destination marketing. Sonoma and Napa Counties have significantly higher budgets than either of those two counties. The breakdown of the County's current marketing budget is as follows: * Advertising, promotional materials, social media, etc. = $100,000 * Lake County Chamber of Commerce Contract = $50,000 * Possible contract with City of Clearlake Chamber of Commerce = $10,000* * Implementation of the Strategic Marketing Plan = $15,000 * Update/improve visitor website = $25,000* * Visitor Information Center = $174,681 *contract not yet executed The amount of marketing dollars spent on the Visitor Information Center (VIC) located in Lucerne became a major point of discussion at the recent workshop. During a budgeting exercise the group determined that approximately 8.5% of the marketing budget should be spent on visitor services. Currently 46.5% of the Lake County marketing budget is used to operate the Visitor Information Center in Lucerne. Additionally, part of the $50,000 paid to the Lake County Chamber of Commerce is to provide visitor services in their Vista Point location in Lakeport, so the County is probably spending close to half its marketing dollars on visitor services. Visitor services are defined as providing services to visitors who are already in Lake County. The goal of destination marketing is to bring visitors to Lake County so they will utilize the lodging facilities, restaurants, and other tourism related businesses to improve the economy of Lake County. Lucerne Visitor Information Center Mr. Poimiroo pointed out that visitor information centers are not being utilized used as they had been in the past due to advances in technology. Most travelers now use online resources and their mobile devices to research and book vacations. Over the last few years, the monthly activity statistics for the VIC show a decline of visitors utilizing these services. For example, in August 2010 there were 854 walk-in visitors at the VIC. In August 2013 there were 646 walk-ins, which represents a 24% reduction. In April of 2010 there were 727 walk-ins, but in April of 2013 there were only 554 walk-ins, which represents a 23% decline. The decline in the number of walk-in visitors could partially be attributed to the fact that the VIC no longer sells quagga mussel inspection stickers. Telephone calls to the VIC remain fairly consistent at an average of 128 calls a month in peak season to an average of 86 calls a month during the off-season. Those numbers equal an average of 3 phone calls a day during the off-season and four phone calls a day during a peak month. In February 2014, there were 109 phone calls but 73 of them were categorized as either "telemarketer or wrong number." Therefore, only 36 calls were travel/tourism related, which is an average of 1.3 travel/tourism related phone calls a day in the month of February. While the number of walk-in visitors and phone calls have been decreasing, the number of unique visits to our visitor information website were 25% higher in August 2013 than they were in August 2010. This supports the industry trend that more people are utilizing online resources and mobile devices to research information about destinations and to book their vacations. Unique visits to our visitor website actually peaked in 2012, when there was a 50% increase in unique visits during the peak months. This supports the concept that visitor websites need to be updated and remain fresh to sustain activity. It has been suggested that a visitor website should be revamped every three years. Mr. Poimiroo strongly recommends that the VIC be closed as soon as possible and those savings be reallocated to other forms of marketing which will have a greater impact on branding and attracting out-of-county visitors to Lake County, such as creating a bolder online presence. The workshop attendees strongly supported closure of the VIC as long as there is an effective alternative to provide visitor information services. To continue to provide visitor information services should the VIC close, staff has identified less costly solutions: information kiosks and additional services from the County Chamber of Commerce. Visitor Information Kiosks Staff has been discussing and working on a plan for several months to implement a source of visitor information in each community in an effort to make that information more readily available at a wider variety of locations in the County. The current concept would be to identify participation from an existing tourist related business in each community. The business would be given street signage and an electronic, touch screen kiosk connected to the County's Visitor Website. In exchange the business would agree to stay open during certain hours, provide friendly and knowledge staff, provide internet and electrical service, public parking, clean public bathrooms, etc. The partnership should result in increased traffic to the existing business and a low cost way to provide visitor information across Lake County. The proposed kiosks cost approximately $3,000-$4,000 per unit with a significant discount due to taking advantage of a GSA contract. A conceptual rendering of a typical kiosk is attached. Kiosks would take six to eight weeks to arrive upon placement of an order. The units come pre-loaded with the necessary software custom designed for access to marketing videos and the visitor website (www.lakecounty.com). Further work is needed to fully implement the kiosk program. However, staff did not want to fully develop the program without Board support and direction. Lake County Chamber of Commerce Contract Staff and the Lake County Chamber of Commerce have had preliminary meetings to discuss additional visitor information services that the Lake County Chamber of Commerce can provide, including answering the existing VIC phone line, and responding to the info@lakecounty.com emails as part of their current contract with the County. Summary of Reasons to Close 1. Approximately 50% of the Lake County Marketing budget is used to operate the Visitor Information Center in Lucerne and provide visitor services at Vista Point in Lakeport, while the travel and tourism industry representatives recommend spending 8.5% of the marketing budget on visitor information services. 2. Lake County has a significantly smaller marketing budget than its neighbors, although we compete for many of the same visitors. 3. Monthly activity reports from the VIC show a decline in number of visitors served over the last three (3) years. 4. The majority of travelers are now making decisions based on information found online. 5. The decline in TOT revenues requires the County to ensure that money is spent most effectively. 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 that the Board of Supervisors take the following actions: 1. Direct staff to close the Visitor Information Center in Lucerne as soon as possible, and allow the administrative office to look at alternative methods of providing more cost-efficient visitor information services. 2. Approve the exploration of partnering with existing business to place interactive kiosks in approximately 5 locations around the County and further develop the kiosk program. 3. Authorize the County Administrative Officer to issue a purchase order to acquire five (5) interactive kiosks. 4. Approve modifying the contract with the Lake County Chamber of Commerce to provide additional visitor information services via phone and email support. 5. Reallocate savings from closing the VIC towards efforts to build the Lake County brand and authorize staff to issue request for proposals for such services as public relations, social media, and website design and improvement.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors on behalf of CSA 21-North Lakeport Water Board of Directors, Lake County Sanitation District, Northwest Regional Wastewater System FROM: Mark Dellinger, Administrator DATE: April 2, 2014 SUBJECT: System Capacity Fee Evaluations and Proposed Adjustments for CSA 21-Water System and LACOSAN-Northwest Regional Wastewater System EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A local developer is proposing to construct a 48 unit apartment unit complex in the north Lakeport area. Recently, he met with Special Districts and Supervisor Farrington to explore ways in which he can implement his project in an affordable manner. As a result of several questions asked by the developer, we have performed an evaluation of the system capacity fees to determine if they are set at the appropriate level. If the Board approves of the revised System Capacity Fee concept, Special Districts will bring back ordinances reflecting the changes as soon as possible. FISCAL IMPACT: _X_ None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Estimated Cost: Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): N/A STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable):N/A ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: We recommend the developer perform an approved hydraulic analysis for the sewer system and determine the projected flow. Should the Board agree with the concept of charging 1/2 of a system capacity fee for apartments, we will bring back an ordinance reflecting this change as soon as possible. The hydraulic modeling recommended above will reveal water usage for this project. If the Board is receptive to the concept of setting the SCF at 1/2 of a residential dwelling unit, staff will bring back an ordinance for consideration and approval as soon as possible.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Rob Brown Supervisor, District 5 DATE: April 14, 2014 SUBJECT: Recent County actions against Harbor House Espresso and options for ensuring compliance with state laws EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: According to a recent article in the Record-Bee, the County Health Department took action to close operations of a long-standing local business, Harbor House Espresso in Lakeport. Harbor House Espresso has been a local landmark for the past twenty years. During this time, they have used water stored in jugs for their daily operations. Since they started their business, state laws have changed to require connections to a permanent water supply, a law which is causing hardship for a number of similar businesses around our county. I request an update from the Health Department on their recent enforcement activities regarding the Harbor House Espresso. I further request the Board consider any options which may be enable this valuable small local business to continue operations.
