Action Item
pulled on consent
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: T-Mobile leases space from the County on the Buckingham Peak tower to accommodate an upgrade to their cellular equipment. Attached for your consideration is an amendment to that lease which provides for the installation of additional antennas within the existing leased footprint.
Typically, an amendment would not be necessary when a tenant is expanding use within their existing leasehold, but in this instance T-Mobile is expanding use by installing technology that was not envisioned in the original lease. Staff also used this opportunity to re-negotiate two other significant provisions including revising the termination notice requirement from 30 days to six months. Additionally, T-Mobile agreed to contribute a flat $100,000 to the power upgrade project instead of paying a contribution based on an indeterminate formula that limited their obligation to an amount "not to exceed" $100,000.

Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Health Services Department, Public Health Division recently applied for and was awarded a scholarship from a very competitive
pool of applicants from around the country and internationally. The scholarship was awarded to attend the third National Health Impact
Assessment (HIA) Meeting to be held June 16-17, 2015 in Washington DC.
Attending the Health Impact Assessment meeting would allow Jessica to bring back to the County of Lake Health Services Department
tools and resources that we do not currently possess for the practical application of Health Impact Assessments in our community. The
ability to attend the meeting and learn from experienced public health professionals and others would be very beneficial. Jessica hopes to
learn different practical applications of HIA's in different communities, particularly rural communities, and to share with other public health
professionals some of the different ways that we are finding successes within our communities in hopes of expanding our collaborative
partners. Attendance at the HIA meeting will allow for the resources to implement concrete next steps in the formulation of HIA processes.
Flight, lodging and registration are fully funded through the scholarship that was awarded.
As Health Services Director, I fully support Ms. Hamner's attendance for this training opportunity.

7.9Adopt Resolution Authorizing Cancellation of Special Districts Administration Designated Equipment Reserve in the amount of $54,215 for vehicle purchase for Utility Area II and authorize Special Districts Administrator to issue purchase order to Downtown Ford Sales in the amount of $54,214.55 under the State of California Contract.
Resolution

Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
SD21 is a 2006 Ford-350 Extended Cab with 127,787 miles on it. This vehicle has dual rear wheels, double wide bed, and Scelzi double wide tool box bed. Vehicle SD21 broke down April 20, 2015, and needs a new engine. Young's Automotive's recommendation was to put in a new engine. The quote for repairs and a new engine is $18,288.00. Prior to this, we already have spent $21,968.00 in repairs including $5,400.00 to replace this vehicle's Exhaust Gas Cooler Recirculation (EGCR) System. By researching this vehicle, we learned that the Ford Diesel 6.0L engines are now known for this engine problem and the engines have been discontinued by Ford.
If we repair the vehicle or put a new engine in the vehicle, we will be continuing with the same engine and the same potential problems. The current blue book value of the vehicle with 127,700 miles, good condition engine would only be approximately $11,789.00. Central Garage recommends replacing the vehicle.
Special Districts proposes to purchase a smaller, more fuel efficient, single rear wheel F-350 crew cab, to reduce vehicle fuel consumptions and maintenance costs. However, we cannot re-use the SD21's existing Scelzi double wide crane/tool box bed since it is too wide for the F-350 crew cab. The District has to purchase a new crane/tool box bed which conforms to the new pick-up's dimensions.
We also considered the possibility of purchasing the same size vehicle (F-350 extended cab) to be able to re-use the existing crane/box equipment. This vehicle, a truck chassis, will cost approximately $31,206.00. To re-use the existing bed, this vehicle has to be converted from single rear wheel to dual rear wheel truck. Additionally, SD21's existing bed is worn out and has to be retro fitted, painted, and new mounting and electrical systems installed before the crew can use it. This entire bed rebuild job will take at least month and a half and will cost approximately $16,000.00. The total estimated cost of a new truck utilizing the existing bed is approximately $50,982.00 with tax. This estimated cost does not include the towing expense to and from the facility to repair and install the existing crane/tool box bed.
We recommend purchasing the new vehicle from Downtown Ford Sales. This vendor submitted its bidding proposal to the State of California's Procurement Division. Annually, the State of California's Procurement Division, complying with legal competitive bidding requirements, solicits vehicle bids throughout the State of California. A State Contract is issued to the low bidders and the results are published and distributed to local agencies. Local agencies are given the opportunity to purchase these vehicles through the state at the same cost as the state.
In an effort to purchase vehicles locally, vehicle make and models are identified in the State Contract and this detailed information is delivered to our local dealership to solicit their proposals on suggested or equivalent vehicles. Unfortunately, no local vendors submitted a proposal.

7.13(Sitting as the Lake County Watershed Protection District, Board of Directors) - Approve Purchase Agreement for Property located at 7500 Reclamation Road, Upper Lake (APN 004-021-27), in the amount of $275,000 for the Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecoysystem Restoration Project, and authorize the Chair to sign.
Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On March 23, 2004 the Lake County Watershed Protection District (District) entered into an agreement with the California Department of Water Resources (CDWR) for the Flood Protection Corridor Program Grant (5.214 million dollars). Grant funds were frozen in December 2008 due to the State's fiscal problems. The agreement was amended in May 2011 extending the grant and adding additional funds (total funds of 12.714 million dollars). The grant provides funds for the purchase of flood prone properties, from willing sellers in the Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project (Project) area. The Project is one step in the process of restoring damaged habitat and the water quality of the Clear Lake watershed. To date, twelve properties have been appraised and purchased
The grant requires that the acquisition of the real properties and the relocation of the occupants be conducted in the conformance with applicable Federal and State policies and procedures. The State Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act, provides that any public entity may, in order to prevent unnecessary expenses and duplication of functions, and to promote uniform and effective administration of relocation assistance programs, utilize the services of other agencies having an established organization to manage and implement relocation assistance programs. In October of 2012 the Board entered into an agreement with Paragon Partners LLC to provide acquisition and relocation services.
Paragon Partners LLC recently completed the appraisal process on several properties and presented offers to those property owners. Today's item presents an accepted offer for the following property:
APN 004-021-27, 7500 Reclamation Road, Upper Lake: The 8.7 acre property is includes a single family home and two outbuildings and is owned by Leon and Cheri Murders. The fair market value is $250,000 as established by an independent fee appraisal and review by the State of California, Department of Water Resources, Real Estate Division. This portion of the acquisition is fully funded by the DWR Grant. The property owner is "upside down" on the property as a result of refinancing in 2006. On April 7, 2015 the Board of Directors approved an Administrative Settlement of ten percent (10%), or $25,000 to encourage the sale of the property. The use of an Administrative Settlement is allowed by CDWR. The $25,000 will be paid by the District. Attached as Exhibit "B" is a vicinity map showing the location of the subject property.
This acquisition is necessary for the purpose of flood control protection as provided in the State of California Water Code Section 79037, Division 26, Chapter 5, Article 2.5.
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors, sitting as the Board of Directors of the Lake County Watershed Protection District, authorize the Chair to sign the real property purchase contract along with instructions to the Clerk to certify the grant deed for recordation. The grant deed will be recorded by a Title guarantee company upon the Board's acceptance.
To minimize reproduction costs, the original documents are attached to the Clerk's copy of the original cover memo and only a copy of this memo is furnished for each individual Board member.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Directors, Lake County Watershed Protection District
FROM: Scott De Leon, Water Resources Director
DATE: April 27, 2015
SUBJECT: Approval of Property Acquisition for the Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project - Approval of Purchase Contract for APN 004-021-27, 7500 Reclamation Road, Upper Lake
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On March 23, 2004 the Lake County Watershed Protection District (District) entered into an agreement with the California Department of Water Resources (CDWR) for the Flood Protection Corridor Program Grant (5.214 million dollars). Grant funds were frozen in December 2008 due to the State's fiscal problems. The agreement was amended in May 2011 extending the grant and adding additional funds (total funds of 12.714 million dollars). The grant provides funds for the purchase of flood prone properties, from willing sellers in the Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project (Project) area. The Project is one step in the process of restoring damaged habitat and the water quality of the Clear Lake watershed. To date, twelve properties have been appraised and purchased
The grant requires that the acquisition of the real properties and the relocation of the occupants be conducted in the conformance with applicable Federal and State policies and procedures. The State Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act, provides that any public entity may, in order to prevent unnecessary expenses and duplication of functions, and to promote uniform and effective administration of relocation assistance programs, utilize the services of other agencies having an established organization to manage and implement relocation assistance programs. In October of 2012 the Board entered into an agreement with Paragon Partners LLC to provide acquisition and relocation services.
Paragon Partners LLC recently completed the appraisal process on several properties and presented offers to those property owners. Today's item presents an accepted offer for the following property:
APN 004-021-27, 7500 Reclamation Road, Upper Lake: The 8.7 acre property is includes a single family home and two outbuildings and is owned by Leon and Cheri Murders. The fair market value is $250,000 as established by an independent fee appraisal and review by the State of California, Department of Water Resources, Real Estate Division. This portion of the acquisition is fully funded by the DWR Grant. The property owner is "upside down" on the property as a result of refinancing in 2006. On April 7, 2015 the Board of Directors approved an Administrative Settlement of ten percent (10%), or $25,000 to encourage the sale of the property. The use of an Administrative Settlement is allowed by CDWR. The $25,000 will be paid by the District. Attached as Exhibit "B" is a vicinity map showing the location of the subject property.
This acquisition is necessary for the purpose of flood control protection as provided in the State of California Water Code Section 79037, Division 26, Chapter 5, Article 2.5.
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors, sitting as the Board of Directors of the Lake County Watershed Protection District, authorize the Chair to sign the real property purchase contract along with instructions to the Clerk to certify the grant deed for recordation. The grant deed will be recorded by a Title guarantee company upon the Board's acceptance.
To minimize reproduction costs, the original documents are attached to the Clerk's copy of the original cover memo and only a copy of this memo is furnished for each individual Board member.

Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Attached for your Board's consideration and approval is the annual Joint Funding Agreement (JFA) between the Lake County Watershed Protection District (WPD) and the U.S. Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior (USGS). This annual JFA has historically been signed by authorized staff, however this year the cost of the agreement has exceeded the $10,000 dollar threshold and now requires your Board's approval.
The JFA provides funding for the operation of the stream gauge station on Kelsey Creek near the town of Kelseyville. The WPD has assisted in the maintenance costs of the station for decades, and staff utilizes the gauge to obtain real-time creek flow information which assists in the operation of the Kelsey Creek Detention Structure. An additional benefit of the station is the information it provides during flood events - which aids in flood response and in design of structures (bridges, culverts, etc.). The JFA with USGS is not an unusual agreement for local agencies, and without it, many regional stream gauge stations would cease to operate. The WPD anticipates this expense in our annual budget, and an appropriation is included for it in BU 8109.
We are hopeful that the Board agrees that the continuation of the JFA with the USGS is justified, and we respectfully request the Board's approval and authorization for the Chair to sign the attached agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Directors of the Lake County Watershed Protection District concur with staff's recommendation that the Joint Funding Agreement (JFA) between the District and the U.S. Geological Survey is justified, and the Board approve the JFA in the amount of $13,700 and authorize the Chair to sign the attached agreement.

Public Hearing
Staff memo
ATTACHMENTS: A. Planning Commission Staff Report Dated April 6, 2015
B. Proposed Ordinance
C. Current Zoning Ordinance sections with Proposed Revisions Illustrated
BACKGROUND
On March 17, 2015 your Board discussed the possibility of amending the Zoning Ordinance to place a 10-year maximum age limit on installation of used manufactured homes on private property in Lake County. Community Development Department staff was directed to set the matter for review by the planning Commission prior to bringing it back to the Board for adoption through a publically noticed hearing. The current ordinance provisions allow for 1976 or newer manufactured homes to be installed in the County.
On April 23, 2015 the Planning Commission considered the draft ordinance proposing to amend the age limit and update the applicable definitions related to manufactured homes within the Zoning Ordinance. The Commission determined that the proposed amendments are exempt from CEQA and recommended that the Board approve the revisions as proposed, on a vote of 4-0. (Commissioner Sullivan was not present.) The hearing was legally noticed and one member of the public attended the hearing to express her support for the 10-year age limit.
The Planning Commission Staff Report includes a discussion of the concerns associated with continuing to allow installation of older manufactured homes on private property. Please refer to Attachment A for this additional discussion.
..Recommended Action
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the proposed Zoning Ordinance text amendment for the following reasons:
1. This proposal is consistent with the Lake County General Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
2. This proposal is necessary to provide more up-to-date housing and energy efficiency standards related to installation of manufactured homes on private property in Lake County.
3. This project will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts, and the project is exempt from CEQA.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project request is to amend the General Plan designation on a portion of a lakefront parcel from Commercial Resort/Rural Residential to Suburban Residential Reserve. And to rezone the said portion from "CR-DR", Commercial Resort-Design Review; "RR", Rural Residential to "SR" Suburban Reserve. The primary reason for this proposal is to separate an existing single family residence from a commercial resort use consisting of a restaurant/bar, spaces for RV hookups and boat docking and refueling facilities. The owner intends to later apply for a parcel map to separate the residence from the resort.
Staff supports this General Plan Amendment and Rezone proposal as the disparate uses presently occupying the property should be located within their respective appropriate land use designations and to be consistent with surrounding property uses, as is the case with the applicant's existing single family residence and adjacent residential uses to the west. This project also was found to be consistent with specific policies and objectives of the County of Lake's General Plan and the Rivieras Area Plan. While the County generally discourages rezones of lakefront parcels to residential, there is a clear delineation between the residential and resort uses of this property and the request does not reduce the capacity of the resort uses.
The Planning Commission reviewed this proposal on March 26, 2015. Also, the rezone and general plan amendment do not significantly increase development potential because the parcel is already developed with a single family dwelling and the commercial uses and any development on the south side of Konocti Bay Road would be problematic due to the very steep gradient of the parcel up to the edge of Soda Bay Road. The Planning Commission voted five to zero to recommend adoption of a negative declaration and approval of the general plan amendment and rezone to the Board of Supervisors.
..Recommended Action
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the Board of Supervisors take the following actions:
A. Adopt a negative declaration for GPAP 14-01 and RZ 14-02 with the following findings:
1. This rezoning is consistent with the Lake County General Plan and the Rivieras Area Plan.
2. The uses permitted in the "SR", "CR-DR" and "RR" districts are compatible with the surrounding land uses.
3 This project will not result in the need for increased public services.
4. This rezoning will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts and a negative declaration has been recommended.
B. Approve GPAP 14-01 for the following reasons:
1. This amendment is consistent with the Lake County General Plan and the Rivieras Area Plan.
2. The uses allowed in the Suburban Residential Reserve/Rural Residential and Commercial Resort designations are compatible with existing land uses in the vicinity.
3. This project will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts, and a negative declaration has been recommended.
C. Approve RZ 14-02 for the following reasons:
1. This rezoning is consistent with the Lake County General Plan and the Rivieras Area Plan.
2. The uses allowed in the "SR", "CR-DR" and "RR" districts are compatible with existing land uses in the vicinity.
3. This project will not result in any significant adverse environmental impact, and a negative declaration has been recommended.
Sample Motions:
A. Proposed Negative Declaration
I move that the Board of Supervisors find that on the basis of the Initial Study No. 14-27 prepared by the Planning Division that the General Plan Amendment and Rezone as applied for by Daniel and Donna Streckfus will not have a significant effect on the environment and, therefore, a negative declaration shall be adopted with the findings set forth in the Board Memorandum dated April 24, 2015.
B. General Plan Amendment Approval
I offer the resolution.
C. Rezone Approval

Also, the rezone and general plan amendment do not significantly increase development potential because the parcel is already developed with a single family dwelling and the commercial uses and any development on the south side of Konocti Bay Road would be problematic due to the very steep gradient of the parcel up to the edge of Soda Bay Road. The Planning Commission voted five to zero to recommend adoption of a negative declaration and approval of the general plan amendment and rezone to the Board of Supervisors.
..Recommended Action
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the Board of Supervisors take the following actions:
A. Adopt a negative declaration for GPAP 14-01 and RZ 14-02 with the following findings:
1. This rezoning is consistent with the Lake County General Plan and the Rivieras Area Plan.
2. The uses permitted in the "SR", "CR-DR" and "RR" districts are compatible with the surrounding land uses.
3 This project will not result in the need for increased public services.
4. This rezoning will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts and a negative declaration has been recommended.
B. Approve GPAP 14-01 for the following reasons:
1. This amendment is consistent with the Lake County General Plan and the Rivieras Area Plan.
2. The uses allowed in the Suburban Residential Reserve/Rural Residential and Commercial Resort designations are compatible with existing land uses in the vicinity.
3. This project will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts, and a negative declaration has been recommended.
C. Approve RZ 14-02 for the following reasons:
1. This rezoning is consistent with the Lake County General Plan and the Rivieras Area Plan.
2. The uses allowed in the "SR", "CR-DR" and "RR" districts are compatible with existing land uses in the vicinity.
3. This project will not result in any significant adverse environmental impact, and a negative declaration has been recommended.
Sample Motions:
A. Proposed Negative Declaration
I move that the Board of Supervisors find that on the basis of the Initial Study No. 14-27 prepared by the Planning Division that the General Plan Amendment and Rezone as applied for by Daniel and Donna Streckfus will not have a significant effect on the environment and, therefore, a negative declaration shall be adopted with the findings set forth in the Board Memorandum dated April 24, 2015.
B. General Plan Amendment Approval

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
BACKGROUND
The CSA #16, Paradise Valley Water System has been challenged with capacity issues and has been under an urgency ordinance with a connection moratorium since 2004. Attempts to implement solutions for the lack of adequate water supply have included drilling additional wells but the results were unsuccessful.
The current drought has depleted the challenged water supply further and the lack of capacity has reached a critical stage.
DWR Funding Agreement and Letter of Agreement
An application to Department of Water Resources, (DWR), for Prop 84 Emergency Drought Funding was submitted in 2014 and approved. The request was approved for $1,378,000 in grant funds with $375,000 in local cash match for a total project cost of $1,753,000. This funding is through the Westside Integrated Regional Water Management Drought Grant Program and is included with grants for two additional Lake County water systems and two Yolo County systems. Yolo County Flood Control District will act as the administrator of the total award and Lake County funds will pass through Yolo County. The DWR funding agreement and letter of agreement between Yolo County and Lake County is required for funding approval. (Attachment #1)
The funding agreement for this project requires a 25% cash match. An agreement has been made with Dr. Berger, (Brookwood Land Management LLC) a developer that wishes to build a new development within the district but cannot do so until the connection moratorium is lifted. A condition of approval of his General Plan of Development (Paradise Valley Ranch, approved by BOS on 12/10/2013) requires that Mr. Berger have an adequate water supply for this project. Brookwood LLC will provide the funding match in exchange for a "Will Serve" letter (Attachment #2).
A feasibility study determined that two options exist to permanently correct the water supply issue. Option A is to consolidate with Clearlake Oaks County Water District and option B is to build and operate a surface water treatment plant.
The option to consolidate was determined to be preferable due to lower ongoing operational costs. CSA #16 has 75 connections and without economies of scale, the operations and maintenance costs of a surface water treatment plant would be very high for all customers. Engineers from the State Water Board Division of Drinking Water (DDW) agreed that the consolidation was the best solution as well. The DDW has been encouraging consolidation for many smaller systems to provide adequate water supply, shared costs and reduced regulatory oversight. Clearlake Oaks County Water District (CLOCWD) has sufficient water supply to accommodate CSA #16 and they would benefit from greater economies of scale. The DDW will allow CLOCWD to place a funding application of their choice at the top of the funding priority list as further incentive for the consolidation.
Preannexation and Annexation Agreement
CSA #16 and Clearlake Oaks County Water District have been working together to complete this mutually beneficial project. A preannexation and annexation agreement was negotiated and has been signed by the CLOCWD Board. This agreement for the Dissolution of CSA#16 and the Annexation with CLOCWD specifies that all costs for the dissolution and annexation will be the responsibility of CSA#16 (Attachment #3).
The Preannexation and Annexation Agreement provides that CSA#16 will pay all costs associated with the installation of an 8 inch water main, fire hydrants, replacement of 500 feet of distribution piping in CLOCWD system, new water meters for CSA#16 customers (to be uniform with CLOCWD), SCADA system, billing system upgrades, additional storage and tank mixer/aerator. CSA #16 is to complete the LAFCO process. The LAFCO process requires changes to the boundaries of Clearlake Oaks County Water District to include the addition of CSA #16. A pre-application conference has been held with LAFCO and an application is in process.
All property, assets and responsibilities belonging to CSA#16 will transfer to CLOCWD upon completion of the LAFCO process.
CLOCWD must provide a written assurance to Yolo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District that it will aggressively implement a water conservation program.
Customers of CSA#16 will become customers of CLOCWD and pay the rates and fees of CLOCWD. In addition, rate payers from CSA#16 have agreed to pay additional fees based on the depreciation of assets of CSA#16.
Time Frame
The 1.8 miles of pipeline will be installed within Highway 20 which requires Special Districts to obtain a Caltrans encroachment permit. A highway overlay project by Caltrans in the same area as the proposed pipeline has posed a serious timing challenge for the project. Once the paving project is completed, there will be a moratorium on any work that will involve cutting into the highway. The Caltrans work is currently underway and they have agreed that if we do not cause any delays in their work, they will schedule their project to include the section of highway that the pipeline is to go in during this construction season. This does not provide a great deal of time but it is possible to install the pipeline before the roadwork is done if we move rapidly.
Construction Contract and Consultant Services Agreements
O.C. Jones is the contractor doing the Caltrans work. We have consulted and negotiated with this contractor for the pipeline since they already have equipment mobilized and will have ultimate control over the scheduling of all work in the Caltrans ROW during this time frame. This arrangement will require your Board's authorization for sole source procurement. We have determined that competitive bidding would not provide additional benefit to the County or district as the time delays and coordination of scheduling would prevent the project from being completed in time to meet Caltrans's schedule. Additional savings by O.C. Jones having equipment on site will help reduce costs.
We are also requesting authorization to utilize sole source procurement for the cultural resource monitoring and distribution system modeling and cultural resource monitoring. MC Engineers has been working with Clearlake Oaks Water District and Dr. Berger's engineer (BKF Engineers) on system design and project feasibility. Caltrans requires additional cultural resource monitoring within their ROW. Pacific Legacy can perform the additional work in connection with the work already completed, resulting in time and cost savings. Pacific Legacy performed the cultural resource monitoring for the Basin 2000 Effluent Pipeline project within this right of way.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On March 5, 2015, Supervisors, County Administrative Officers, and other staff from each of the north coast counties (Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, Sonoma and Trinity) met in Santa Rosa to discuss the possible impacts of legalized cannabis on the economies and the environment in the event of state-wide legalization as result of an anticipated ballot measure on the November 2016 election. Supervisor Farrington, County Administrative Officer Matt Perry, and Deputy County Counsel Andrew Lee represented Lake County at this summit.
The goal of the summit was to develop a regional and unified position statement to help shape state legislation in order to influence cannabis policy and potential legalization with appropriate local control. Adoption of a unified regional statement provides the opportunity for counties to come together and influence the state legislative process.
The CAO's of each north coast county have indicated that this policy statement would be presented to their Boards in May 2015. Currently, Mendocino and Humboldt Counties have unanimously approved the policy statement as an addendum to their state legislative priorities; and Sonoma, Trinity, and Del Norte will vote on it within the month.
The statement was created from information and ideas gathered during the March 5, 2015 summit to accurately reflect concerns/issues that were raised by County representatives. That information was further synthesized and refined by a group of County Supervisors and CAO's into the policy statement before you. In order to maintain a unified north coast counties approach, it is important that the policy is approved as it is presented.
The discussion on this policy statement should not be about whether one supports legalization of marijuana or not. Rather the discussion is whether north coast counties should express their policy preferences at the State level and whether this policy statement adequately represents those policy preferences. The policy statement reflects the desires of the group for the State to determine minimum levels of regulation but also allow room for local flexibility and control.
If approved, this policy statement would amend item #6 of the County of Lake State Legislative Priorities, which currently reads:
6. Enactment of Statewide guidelines governing marijuana cultivation and dispensaries.
In the absence of State guidelines, local governments are adopting regulations that are inconsistent and in conflict with one another. These regulations may also be in conflict with State law and therefore are susceptible to eventually being overturned by the courts. The State needs to provide uniform, statewide guidelines as this has clearly become a statewide problem and statewide issue.
..Recommended Action
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Consistent with the County of Lake State Legislative Priorities 2015 and consistent with what other North Coast Counties are requesting, recommended Board action is as follows:
1. Approve the attached "North Coast Counties Marijuana Policy Statement" as an amendment to the County's 2015 State Legislative Priorities.
2. Authorize Chair to sign a letter of transmittal addressed to Assemblymember Dodd and Senator McGuire, the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) and the Rural County Representatives of California.
3. Direct the Board's representative to CSAC and RCRC to advocate for policies consistent with this policy statement within each of the respective organizations.

Report
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
During the past month, staff and I have met with representatives of California Clean Power ("CCP"), a turnkey, full service CCA provider, to determine the benefits of implementing a Community Choice Aggregation electrical procurement program.
An overview of the Community Choice Aggregation program and the benefits of entering into a turnkey contract with California Clean Power is attached. Representatives of CCP will attend the May 19 Board meeting to present this proposal to the full Board.
Sole Source
Should the Board wish - after reviewing the attached documents and hearing the proposal - to enter into a contract with CCP, we can consider making certain findings to exempt this action from the competitive bidding process. An exemption under Lake County Code Section 2-38 (2) Not in the public interest is applicable due to the unique nature of the services provided by CCP. CCP is the only company or organization that offers a turnkey, fully financed CCA solution that allows Lake County to establish an individual CCA program, thereby directly retaining all of the benefits of CCA and retaining direct control of all of the CCA policies.
Process
CCP has prepared a Feasibility Study, a draft CCA Ordinance and a draft contract for our review. If the Board agrees to implement a CCA program through a turnkey contract with CCP, then a contract with CCP and a CCA Ordinance would be presented for adoption at the next regular Board meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
I recommend that the Board direct staff to produce in final form the attached draft ordinance and the draft agreement with California Clean Power and place on the next available Board meeting for consideration and formal action.

CCP is the only company or organization that offers a turnkey, fully financed CCA solution that allows Lake County to establish an individual CCA program, thereby directly retaining all of the benefits of CCA and retaining direct control of all of the CCA policies.
Process
CCP has prepared a Feasibility Study, a draft CCA Ordinance and a draft contract for our review. If the Board agrees to implement a CCA program through a turnkey contract with CCP, then a contract with CCP and a CCA Ordinance would be presented for adoption at the next regular Board meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
I recommend that the Board direct staff to produce in final form the attached draft ordinance and the draft agreement with California Clean Power and place on the next available Board meeting for consideration and formal action.
There was Board consensus to bring an Ordinance back for consideration on May 26, 2015.
Clerk’s notes: Peter Rumble, Chief Executive of California Clean Power, gave the presentation to the Board.
Chair Farrington asked if anyone present wished to speak and the following people spoke: Joan Moss, Lenny Mathews, Special Districs Administrator Mark Dellinger, and Heather Powers. No one else present wished to speak and the public input portion of the item was closed.

9.4Consideration of Staff’s request to use the former Visitor Information Center in Lucerne as a Department of Social Services satellite office
Report
approved — Pass
Staff memo
Our proposal includes basing a total of 10 staff at the site, with Housing as the anchor program and welfare eligibility services to be added as vacancies are filled and staffing becomes available. The opening of this office will not negatively impact staffing levels in any supervisorial district, where our existing offices are located, since our new position requests, in our proposed budget for 15/16, offset the number of staff to be based at the satellite.
FISCAL IMPACT: _X None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted

Annual Cost (if planned for future years):
FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative):
There is no County cost associated with this proposal as all Social Services operations are funded entirely with state and federal funds. In fact, expanding staffing levels in order to open this office brings additional state and federal revenue to Lake County, rather than underspending, which results in said funds reverting back to the source. Moreover, if approved to open a satellite office, Social Services will maintain the County-owned site, ensuring that further deterioration due to non-use does not occur.

None

Approve staff's request to use the former Visitor Information Center in Lucerne as a Social Services Satellite Office.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: Carol J. Huchingson, Social Services Director
DATE: May 4, 2015
SUBJECT: Consideration of Staff's Request to Use the Former Visitor Information
Center in Lucerne as a Department of Social Services Satellite Office
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As your Board is aware, the County-owned building in Lucerne, which formerly housed the Visitor Information Center, has been vacant for quite some time and is deteriorating due to non-use. Over the course of the past few months, I have discussed, with both Supervisor Steele and the County Administrative Officer (CAO), the possibility of opening a Social Services Satellite office in that location, to offer much needed access to services to our client populations in that area. Supervisor Steele and the CAO strongly support this concept.
Our proposal includes basing a total of 10 staff at the site, with Housing as the anchor program and welfare eligibility services to be added as vacancies are filled and staffing becomes available. The opening of this office will not negatively impact staffing levels in any supervisorial district, where our existing offices are located, since our new position requests, in our proposed budget for 15/16, offset the number of staff to be based at the satellite.

9.5SECOND READING - Consideration of proposed Ordinance Amending Specified Sections of Article I of Chapter 2 of the Lake County Code Relating to Meetings of the Board of Supervisors.
Ordinance
Adopted
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On January 27, 2015, the Board of Supervisors determined, on a trial basis, to adjust the number of meetings of the Board from four meetings per month to three meetings per month. In discussing this adjustment, the Board considered both the limited number of agenda items for some meetings of the Board as well as the amount of staff time expended in preparation for and in attendance of those meetings.
Your Board has now had the time to evaluate the efficacy of this adjustment. It should be noted that it does not appear that there were any delays of and/or compromises to the conducting of County business and/or in fulfilling County obligations as a result of this adjustment.
If your Board wishes to make this adjustment permanent, a proposed Ordinance Amending Specified Sections of Article I of Chapter 2 of the Lake County Code Relating to Meetings of the Board of Supervisors is attached for your review and consideration. If adopted, this ordinance will adjust the meetings of the Board of Supervisors to the first, third, and fourth Tuesdays of each month and at other times as determined by your Board to be necessary and appropriate.
This ordinance will require the standard two readings should your Board wish to take action:
First, a motion to waive the reading of the ordinance and read it in title only.
Second, a motion to advance the ordinance on the Agenda for consideration of passage.
Additionally, because the ordinance will not become effective until June 18, 2015, your Board may wish to consider whether you wish to take action to adjourn the meetings of May 12 and June 9, 2015.
..Recommended Action
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends your Board:
1. Waive the reading of the ordinance, having it read in title only
2. Advance the ordinance on the agenda for consideration of passage
3. Adjourn the meetings of May 12 and June 9, 2015

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Lake County Sheriff's Department requests your Board's approval to purchase four (4) High Power portable repeaters. These repeaters will be installed temporarily at San Hedrin and Walker Ridge to increase radio coverage for public safety operations. Both repeater sites have been tested with good coverage. The Sheriff's Department will be piggybacking their purchase on Mendocino County's purchase which was made off the WSCA contract. The Department of Homeland Security recognizes the WSCA contract and can be used in lieu of the State bid requirement. The State does not recognize a local vendor preference.
