Mr. Bakke has a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley and currently is a Registered Professional Engineer. Mr. Bakke has resided in the community for a number of years and brings valued perspective and experience 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 publics interest. Because of infrequent meetings, the advantages of having experienced Hearing Board members, and the fact that Mr. Bakke 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: Scott De Leon, Public Works Director DATE: January 23, 2015 SUBJECT: Consideration of Waiver of Construction Traffic Mitigation Fees for Joe Gonsalves EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In July, 2007, your Board enacted Ordinance 2842 which established a Traffic Mitigation Fee for construction activity that impacts County roads. The ordinance required a fee of 0.5% of the value of the project, as determined by the Community Development Department, be paid to the Department of Public Works to mitigate the impacts of the construction vehicles on County roads. Under that ordinance, the only circumstance that was afforded an exemption from the fee was the construction of certain projects related to low and moderate income housing. In June, 2010, your Board approved Ordinance 2926 that amended the original exemptions to also include projects that did not impact County roads. That ordinance allowed the Public Works Director to approve waivers for projects that only used State or City roads to deliver materials, or projects where materials were delivered by water. The project for discussion today does not meet either of the exemption conditions, and any waiver of fees must be approved by your Board. I have provided a short summary of the project; however I anticipate that the Owner or a representative will be available to present their argument for support of the waiver. Joe Gonsalves In September, 2013, Mr. Gonsalves applied for a Building Permit to construct a residence, garage and covered deck on property at 10550 Seigler Springs North Road. To date, the permit has not been issued due to the fact that this construction is subject to the Traffic Mitigation Fee, and the fee of $1,794.80 has not been paid. Mr. Gonsalves has recently been represented by a Mr. Richard Adams, and he has been questioning staff about the fee. According to Mr. Adams, when Mr. Gonsalves purchased the property in October, 2008, there was an active building permit that was obtained by the previous Owner in April, 2006. A septic system, well installation, and the foundation had been constructed under that original permit; however construction ceased due to the passing of the previous Owner. This original permit was issued prior to the adoption of Ordinance 2842, and therefor was not subject to the Traffic Mitigation Fee. No additional work was performed on the residence, and the original permit expired in May, 2012. No additional building activity occurred until Mr. Gonsalves applied for a new building permit in September, 2013. After a discussion with Mr. Adams, he expressed that because the original permit was not subject to the fee, and Mr. Gonsalves is simply renewing the expired permit, he should be exempt from the new fee. In response to that argument, staff offers the following: * No action was taken by Mr. Gonsalves on the original permit, and it expired in May, 2012; * Mr. Gonsalves purchased the property and submitted a building permit application for a new residence subsequent to the adoption of Ordinance 2842; * Even though the new residence is going to utilize the existing foundation that was constructed with the old permit, the new structure is subject to the current fee structure, building construction standards and health and safety requirements - all of which have changed in some form or another since 2006; * The proposed construction does not meet any of the exemptions allowed by the original and amended Ordinances; therefore the construction is subject to the Traffic Mitigation Fee; Recommendation Only the Board of Supervisors can waive the Construction Traffic Mitigation fees under these circumstances. During your consideration, the Department of Public Works would respectfully remind the Board that we have collected approximately $631,500 since the fee was imposed in 2007. While individual amounts are not significant, cumulatively they provide a source of revenue that the Department wouldn't ordinarily have. The Department recently expended $350,000 of the amount referenced above during the summer of 2013 on a pavement rehabilitation project.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Jill Ruzicka, Sr. Administrative Analyst DATE: February 3, 2015 SUBJECT: Consideration of Rural County Representatives of California Wildfire Strategy and Resolution advocating for adequate federal funding and commitment to wildfire prevention. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Wildfire Strategy Resolution was first introduced in August 2014, at the Board of Directors meeting of the Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC). Currently 18 of RCRC's 34 member counties have passed this resolution. RCRC has requested that the County of Lake pass this resolution in support of efforts to launch a refocused wildfire advocacy strategy to key policy and decision makers in California. The RCRC 2014-15 Wildfire Strategy outlines a proactive outreach effort to communicate and demonstrate the multi-level issues associated with current forest management practices, and foster a cultural or, if needed, structural shift within the United States Forest Service (USFS) and other state and federal agencies in order to better manage California's forests and wildlands. With this plan, RCRC endeavors to ease statutory, regulatory, and legal barriers to fire-prevention project completion, and create innovative new approaches to increasing the pace and scale of vegetation management and forest restoration in California. ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends your Board adopt the resolution advocating for increased wildfire prevention funding and focus.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Board of Supervisors FROM: Kathy Ferguson, Human Resources Director DATE: February 3, 2015 SUBJECT: Approve Resolution Amending Resolution No. 2014-112 Establishing Position Allocations for FY 2014-15, Budget Unit 1341 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Staff submits for your Board's consideration and approval the attached resolution to amend the position allocations for Budget Unit 1341 - Human Resources. Staff is requesting to delete one (1) vacant Office Assistant I/II - Confidential allocation, delete one (1) Human Resources Technician allocation, and add two Human Resources Technician I/II allocations. In addition, staff is requesting your approval to add the classifications of Human Resources Technician I/II to County service and reclassify the current Human Resources Technician to a Human Resources Technician II (there is no change in salary tied to this reclassification). The Classification and Compensation Committee has reviewed, and recommends approval of this request. The Human Resources Technician I/II flex series would establish a: a. HR Technician I at grade A14 (lower than current) b. HR Technician II at grade A16 (same as current) With the advent of pension reform and healthcare reform regulations, and a high volume of recruitments, the burden on the HR Department to ensure that the County is responsive and compliant to numerous additional requirements is growing. As a result, the HR Department needs to have the ability to delegate additional analytical tasks and/or functions to our front desk position which we currently cannot do within the existing classification structure. Establishing the Human Resources Technician I/II position and changing the Office Assistant I/II - Confidential allocation to a Human Resources Technician I/II allocation will also provide the department the flexibility to cross-train staff to ensure that certain key functions of the department, such as recruitments, are not delayed when staff members are out of the office. The reclassification of the existing Human Resources Technician position is cost neutral, and the cost of the new Human Resources Technician I/II allocation for the remainder of the current fiscal year can be covered with money that is currently budgeted to the Human Resources Department.
