Agreement
passed on consent
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Department of Public Works is in the process of replacing the existing Hendricks Road Bridge over Hendricks Creek (Bridge No. 14C-0047). As part of the process, staff applied for a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) permit. Permit review comments necessitate that additional archaeological investigation and documentation be performed and submitted to the USACE in response.
Archaeological Services, Inc. (ASI) previously performed the archaeological investigations as required for CEQA compliance for this project, is thoroughly familiar with the project site, and is suited for performing the additional investigation. However, ASI's previous agreement has expired and a new agreement needs to be executed. In accordance with County consultant selection procedures, the County Purchasing Agent and the Public Works Director have mutually agreed that the need to solicit proposals is not necessary as ASI's services are required as part of a supplement to the original project scope.
This agreement will provide for the additional archaeological investigation and documentation as required for the County to address USACE permit comments.
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the Agreement for Archaeological Services for Hendricks Road Bridge (No. 14C-0047) Replacement at Hendricks Creek with Archaeological Services, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $12,621.84 and authorize the Chairman to execute said Amendment.

While we would normally issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for these services, our staff is requesting that your Board allow the department to forgo the County Consultant Selection Process, as it would be in the best interest of the program participants not to have any disruptions in their services. Furthermore, LFRC and LCOE are the only qualified entities in Lake County that can provide these services.
The contract period would be for eighteen months (18) and compensation would be seventy thousand dollars ($70,000) per agency per fiscal year.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Sheriff's Office requests your Boards' approval to encumber funds for the purchase of an HVAC unit for the Lake County Jail. There are 8 HVAC units on the Jail facility that have not yet been replaced. The unit on Pod C has failed and is no longer operational. A quote to repair this unit was received and was excessive compared to the cost to replace it. A written quote was provided by Baker Distributing and is attached for your review and approval.
Public Services previously issued written bids for replacement units with the bid being awarded to Baker Distributing.

8.29:15 A.M. - PUBLIC HEARING - Consideration of Urgency Ordinance for water conservation at Finley Water, CSA #6
Public Hearing
Adopted
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This meeting is for a public hearing to consider an urgency ordinance for Finley Water System, County Service Area #6.
The current drought conditions throughout the State of California have caused depletion of the water tables and aquifer that supply the Finley Water System. The decrease in well levels has indicated a potential for a water shortage that could result in the system being unable to meet the ordinary demands and requirements sufficient to provide for human consumption, sanitation and fire protection.
The water system has been in stage 1 of the Drought Management Plan since January 2014. Most customers in the system have been conscientious about conserving water but a small group of customers are using an excessive amount of water and the excessive use is placing the entire system in jeopardy.
This ordinance recognizes that the majority of customers are conserving and only targets the very high users. Excessive water use does place the entire system at risk of having a water shortage; therefore this urgency ordinance does have steep surcharges.
With this urgency ordinance, most customers will not notice any difference in their bill or need to alter their current usage.
The charges in this ordinance are:
> Any and all usage over 1600 cubic feet per month (per SFD Equivalent) will be charged at $12.00 per hundred cubic feet. This equates to approximately 400 gallons per day.
> Any usage over 2,500 cubic feet per month will be charged an additional $350.00 surcharge. This equates to approximately 625 gallons per day.
> Any usage over 4,000 cubic feet per month will be charged a $700.00 surcharge in addition to the $12.00 per hcf over 1600cf. (4,000 cubic feet per month equates to approximately 1,000 gallons per day.)
The intent of this urgency ordinance is to protect the entire water system by prohibiting excessive use. The goal is not to generate more revenue but to strongly encourage customers to conserve this valuable resource. If reasonable water conservation cannot be achieved, the ordinance will authorize the Special Districts Administrator to disconnect any user that continues to violate the urgency ordinance after being charged a surcharge for excessive use.
There will be no change in rates or fees for any customer using less than 1,600 cubic feet per month per SFD.

8.59:30 A.M. - PUBLIC HEARING - (Continued from July 1, 2014) - Consideration of proposed Ordinance amending Chapter 11 of the Ordinance Code of the County of Lake adding Article III: Regulations for the dispensing of medical marijuana
Public Hearing
Staff memo
ATTACHMENTS: A. Proposed Dispensary Regulations
B. Potential Dispensary Location Map Areas
DISCUSSION
Based upon direction from your Board to draft a new ordinance that could allow for a limited number of dispensaries throughout the County's jurisdiction, staff has prepared the attached ordinance, which we believe could be added to Chapter 11 of the Lake County Code (Business Licenses/Permits). When the new cultivation ordinance was approved in December, your Board indicated a willingness to consider allowing some dispensaries, since dispensaries could provide a 4th option for access to medicinal marijuana by qualifying patients that will not be able to cultivate outdoors under the new cultivation ordinance. Despite still being able to cultivate indoors, joining a collective or designating a primary caregiver to cultivate in a different location, dispensaries could provide a more convenient solution.
In drafting this ordinance, a primary concern has been the limited ability of local governments to "permit" an activity that is not legal under federal law. Staff from County Counsel and Community Development researched dispensary ordinances throughout the state and found that most jurisdictions are banning dispensaries. Of the examples of dispensary ordinances that we did find, approximately 2/3rds of them were not located within the jurisdiction's zoning code, but instead were added to either their business license/permit regulations or health and safety regulations. The ordinance drafted by staff is premised upon an annual business permit.
The ordinance would specify the operational requirements and could incorporate a series of mapped areas that could be specifically approved by your Board. Attachment B consists of potential dispensary location maps that are spread as evenly as practical throughout the County. These areas have nearby access to bus stops to provide an additional level of convenience to qualifying patients, and meet the setback provisions from schools, improved parks and residences. Staff has prepared these maps to provide your Board with a number of sites to choose from. We recommend that a minimum of 3, but no more than 5 dispensaries be allowed, and that only one dispensary per approved mapped area be allowed. For comparison, Alameda County only allows thee dispensaries.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The purpose of these amendments is to provide regulations for a limited number of dispensaries to be operated in Lake County, to provide an additional option for safe access to medicinal marijuana by qualified patients who are unable to cultivate outdoors at their home. Staff believes that the proposal is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. This section advises that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant adverse effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
Staff believes that two additional Sections of CEQA are applicable to the proposed ordinance. Section 15060(C)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines states that "an activity is not subject to CEQA if: ...(2) The activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment".
..Recommended Action
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that the Board of Supervisors determine the appropriate locations for, and number of dispensaries that are appropriate for unincorporated Lake County, and adopt the proposed ordinance included as Attachment A of this Memo. Staff believes that a minimum of three dispensaries should be allowed, at locations that will provide a relatively even, geographic and population spread, considering that the City of Clearlake allows three dispensaries within their jurisdiction. To assist your Board with determining appropriate areas for dispensaries to be permitted, staff has provided a serious of maps as Attachment B. Once the Board determines the number and location areas for dispensaries, the applicable maps can be integrated into the ordinance by reference (please refer to page 4 of the proposed ordinance).
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors take the following actions:
A. Find that the proposed text amendment to the Chapter 11 of the Lake County Code, adding regulations for the Dispensing of Medical Marijuana, is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act for the following reasons:
1. Pursuant to Section 15060(C)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, the proposed ordinance is not subject to CEQA because the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
2. Pursuant to �15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, the Board of Supervisors further finds that this proposed ordinance amendment is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
B. Approve the proposed ordinance text amendments to Chapter 11 of the Lake County Code for the following reasons.
3. With the adoption and passage of Ordinance 2997 that limits the manner and locations in which the cultivation of medical marijuana may occur, it is necessary to provide a regulatory framework for a limited number of dispensaries to operate in Lake County.
4. A limited number of dispensaries will provide an additional option for access to medicine by qualifying patients in Lake County.
The ordinance amendment will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts, and the project is exempt from CEQA.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: Richard Coel, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Proposed Amendments to Chapter 11 of Lake County Code, Dispensary Regulations
DATE: June 16, 2014
ATTACHMENTS: A. Proposed Dispensary Regulations
B. Potential Dispensary Location Map Areas
DISCUSSION
Based upon direction from your Board to draft a new ordinance that could allow for a limited number of dispensaries throughout the County's jurisdiction, staff has prepared the attached ordinance, which we believe could be added to Chapter 11 of the Lake County Code (Business Licenses/Permits). When the new cultivation ordinance was approved in December, your Board indicated a willingness to consider allowing some dispensaries, since dispensaries could provide a 4th option for access to medicinal marijuana by qualifying patients that will not be able to cultivate outdoors under the new cultivation ordinance. Despite still being able to cultivate indoors, joining a collective or designating a primary caregiver to cultivate in a different location, dispensaries could provide a more convenient solution.
In drafting this ordinance, a primary concern has been the limited ability of local governments to "permit" an activity that is not legal under federal law. Staff from County Counsel and Community Development researched dispensary ordinances throughout the state and found that most jurisdictions are banning dispensaries. Of the examples of dispensary ordinances that we did find, approximately 2/3rds of them were not located within the jurisdiction's zoning code, but instead were added to either their business license/permit regulations or health and safety regulations. The ordinance drafted by staff is premised upon an annual business permit.
The ordinance would specify the operational requirements and could incorporate a series of mapped areas that could be specifically approved by your Board. Attachment B consists of potential dispensary location maps that are spread as evenly as practical throughout the County. These areas have nearby access to bus stops to provide an additional level of convenience to qualifying patients, and meet the setback provisions from schools, improved parks and residences. Staff has prepared these maps to provide your Board with a number of sites to choose from. We recommend that a minimum of 3, but no more than 5 dispensaries be allowed, and that only one dispensary per approved mapped area be allowed. For comparison, Alameda County only allows thee dispensaries.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The purpose of these amendments is to provide regulations for a limited number of dispensaries to be operated in Lake County, to provide an additional option for safe access to medicinal marijuana by qualified patients who are unable to cultivate outdoors at their home. Staff believes that the proposal is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. This section advises that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant adverse effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
Staff believes that two additional Sections of CEQA are applicable to the proposed ordinance. Section 15060(C)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines states that "an activity is not subject to CEQA if: ...(2) The activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment".

9.4Consideration of Resolution Approving Submission of Application for Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) for FY 2014 to include projects in the following categories: Interoperable Communications, Information Technology, Emergency Management, Fire & Rescue, and Vulnerable Populations
Report
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
FY-2014 HSGP Application Summary
The FY-2014 Homeland Security Grant Application is due August 1, 2014, and staff would like approval from the Board to apply for a total award amount of $141,170.00. At the time of writing this memorandum local agencies have submitted preliminary applications for the following projects:
Project A: Interoperable Communications
The Lake Operational Area ("Op Area") is continually striving to enhance interoperable communications throughout the Op Area response community. With a variety of response agencies, jurisdictions, terrain, infrastructure and mutual aid agreements, maintaining solid communication is critical to the success of any response, including a terrorism related event. Through the Op Area Communications Workgroup, we are continuing to identify needs, as well as replace non-narrow band-able portable and mobile radios currently utilized by local responders and local government agencies, in addition to new purchases for OES to support an adequate response to any incident within the Op Area.
This project also addresses the need for additional law and fire repeaters throughout the Op Area. This project also includes planning and coordinating the location of repeaters throughout the county to facilitate response to some of the more remote areas of Lake County.
Project B: Information Technology
The Op Area is currently enhancing the information technology capabilities among fire, law enforcement, EMS providers and OES throughout the Op Area through a series of handheld devices with a variety of field programs, Web EOC and other response capabilities. The tablets will enable OES to respond, manage and coordinate response and recovery efforts with field responders, communicate within the EOC as well as increase communication efforts among multi-agency responses.
This project also addresses the need for computer equipment for the County of Lake, Emergency Operations Center ("EOC") to ensure that in the event of a terrorist attack, OES has the functional equipment and information technology to support a response.
Project C: Emergency Management
The Op Area is currently equipping its Office of Emergency Services with the necessary tools and equipment to effectively respond to an emergency, in keeping with national emergency management standards. Included in this project is a response vehicle that can serve as a mobile command vehicle for the OES Manager, ensuring a response during an emergency under many conditions including rough terrain, evacuation traffic, , and ensuring that the EOC could be activated efficiently on a 24-hour per day basis from anywhere in the county. This asset will be equipped with a command cabinet, mobile radio, satellite phone, and siren controller/traffic advisor.
Also included in this project are laptop computers, tablets, portable radios, and other communications and information technology needs to equip a fully functioning EOC for response to an emergency.
Project D: Fire & Rescue
The Op Area is currently looking to strengthen incident management capabilities and enhancing rescue capabilities in the event of an incident. Tools are needed to ensure efficient and effective rescue efforts during a terrorism related incident for Lake County citizens. These tools include air monitoring, thermal imaging cameras, rescue kits, personal protective equipment, etc.
Project E: Vulnerable Populations
It has been identified that a high number of families needing evacuation in Lake County have pets or livestock that must also be evacuated, and during night conditions as well. A portable generator is necessary for lighted animal staging, as is a first aid kit for staff that may be injured by frightened pets during an emergency.
Preliminary applications for these projects exceed the total amount of funding available. The Anti-Terrorism Approval Body (referred to as the "Body of Five" and includes two fire chiefs, a police chief, the County Public Health Officer, and the sheriff's office) who is responsible for approving this application, will be establishing priorities as to which projects to include in the final application, a copy of which will be submitted to your Board as well as the Disaster Council.
..Recommended Action
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends that your Board approve the draft application as summarized above, and adopt the Governing Body Resolution naming OES Staff as Authorized Agents to sign and submit the grant application to Cal OES.
