EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On August 27, 2014 a District Attorney Investigator was en route home in his County vehicle. He was run off the road by an individual allegedly driving under the influence. The Investigator was fortunately only somewhat injured, but the vehicle was very badly damaged. The insurance company for the responsible party and the District Attorney's Office concur that it would be neither safe nor cost effective to repair the vehicle to its original state. It has taken several months for the responsible party's insurance company as well as the County's insurance adjuster to review the case and make their assessments.

Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Nancy Perrin has served as the Medical Member on the LCAQMD Hearing Board for the past 2 years. Prior to being appointed the Medical Member Ms. Perrin served as the Alternate Medical Member for 4 years. 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.
Ms. Perrin has an Associate in Science Degree and has 33 years experience as a Respiratory Care Practitioner. Ms. Perrin is a Certified Respiratory Therapist and has been employed at St. Helena Hospital in Clearlake as the Program Coordinator for Pulmonary Rehabilitation for the past 9 years and has worked with the American Lung Association, American Association for Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation, California Society for Pulmonary Rehabilitation, and Better Breather Club. Ms. Perrin's unique background with respiratory and pulmonary care gives her the ability to understand the health effects on the body. Additionally, Ms. Perrin has a good knowledge and understanding of the issues that come before the LCAQMD Hearing Board since she previously served as an Alternate Medical Member to the LCAQMD 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 publics interest. Because of infrequent meetings, the advantages of having experienced Hearing Board members, and the fact that Ms. Perrin has indicated her willingness to continue, we ask that you reappoint her.
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.

9.6SECOND READING - Consideration of an Ordinance Revising County Code Chapter 14, Article II, Division 2, Section 14-56.3.
Report
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Background
In January 2014 a petition was submitted requesting that the Lake County Board of Supervisors move the classifications of Welfare Fraud Investigator and Supervising Welfare Fraud Investigator from the Lake County Deputy Sheriff Association (LCDSA) into the Lake County Safety Employees Association (LCSEA).
The Employee Relations Officer determined that the petition was filed in accordance with all of the provisions of Chapter 14 of the Lake County Code of Ordinances, that the petition had merit, and that the Employee Relations Officer would bring to your Board a request to amend County Code Chapter 14, Article II, Division 2, Section 14-56.3 item (i) to achieve this change.
Justification
The nature of peace officer powers in 830.35 is more closely aligned to those of Probation Officers and other Safety positions than it is to peace officers described by 830.1.
Additionally, this change has the support of both the LCSEA and the LCDSA.
Timing
This matter has taken longer than anticipated to bring to your Board as a result of prior adjustments that had been made in the LCDSA unit to CalPERS contributions and salary. Before the Employee Relations Officer could support the movement of these classifications, she wanted to ensure that if the change is made by your Board that both the LCDSA and LCSEA understood that the Welfare Fraud Investigators and Supervising Welfare Fraud Investigators would transfer into the new unit:
1) with their current salary
2) with their current contribution to CalPERS even if this contribution differs from the contribution for other classifications within LCSEA
and that the salary and CalPERS contributions would be in force until and unless another agreement for salary and/or CalPERS contribution is negotiated specifically for these classifications.
The Employee Relations Officer now has information from County Counsel that those assurances have been obtained in writing from both the LCDSA and the LCSEA.
On December 16, 2014 your Board approved the first reading of this ordinance and scheduled the second reading.

Staff memo
The full-time Client Support Assistant I/II position is to coordinate departmental transportation scheduling vehicle availability for staff and to schedule drivers to transport clients) and to arrange maintenance of vehicles with the Central Garage and private vendors. The six (6) half-time Client Support Assistant I/II positions are to enhance services at our existing Wellness Centers and to provide support for the SB 82 grant services (diverting potential crisis clients away from the local hospitals and having them go to our centers for peer support, resource planning, and referrals).

Annual Cost (if planned for future years): N/A
FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): With the advent of the SB 82 grant, as well as the growing need of crisis services in the County, the Department has need of increasing staff to provide crisis intervention services in an expanded variety of settings. This expansion will allow for a reduction in services being provided in high traffic, high cost locations and decrease the time spent of local law enforcement agencies. Some of the Clinical Psychologist tasks described are unfunded mandates, so no new revenue will be produced from those services. This position, however, will provide Specialty Mental Health services which are revenue producing via Medi-Cal. This position will also eliminate the need for contracting out secondary conservatorship evaluations and will reduce some training expenses by offering in-house expertise. The cost of the Clinical Psychologist position was not initially included the FY 14/15 Budget; however, it will be funded by anticipated savings from other vacant positions.
A Client Support Assistant I and a Client Support Assistant II are hereby established in the County service as follows:
Class Code Class Title Grade Entry Level Salary
