EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Attached for the Board's review and approval is Contract Change Order (CCO) No. One for the subject project.

Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As the demand for alternative energy sources increases and technology for the development of same improves, staff has been in contact with a consulting engineering firm, Oscar Larson & Associates (Consultant) that specializes in this field. In 2014, staff negotiated a simple contract with the Consultant to prepare a report on the potential for lake algae to be used as a resource. The resulting report "Clear Lake Algae as a Resource, Preliminary Alternatives Evaluation (attached) set the stage for future project grant applications. Due to the unique nature of the types of projects, staff recommends the use of an outside firm to assist in the pursuit of outside funding. The Consultant has demonstrated the specialized skill and industry connections to merit a sole-source selection, and staff recommends that your Board approve the attached contract for specialized services related to the development of grant applications for algae harvesting and processing.
The County is often accused of not "thinking outside the box" when it comes to finding solutions to issues. While we continue to pursue funding for projects and programs to reduce nutrients from entering Clear Lake, the fact is the lake will continue to produce algae for the foreseeable future due to the existing bank of nutrients in the bottom sediments. This proposal, if brought to fruition, could create a sustainable industry that utilizes cyanobacteria as a feedstock. This new industry could help reduce the negative impacts to water quality and create much needed jobs in the County. Because of the potential for economic growth, the Administrative Office has agreed to partner with Water Resources in the funding of the agreement.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors a) Due to the unique nature of the project, waive the Policy for Review and Selection of Professional Consultants and Other Contract Service Providers as it would produce no economic benefit to the County and b) approve the Consulting Engineering Services Contract with Oscar Larson & Associates for the development of Pilot Program Grants for harvesting algae from Clear Lake and processing the algae into products with a not to exceed amount of $30,000.00 and authorize the Chair to sign the agreement.

Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Attached are the contracts for Veterinary services and Registered Veterinary Technician services at the county animal shelter during fiscal year 15/16. The contract was split in two this year: one for the vet and one for the RVT. Other than this, the layout, design, and request for services is the same as the year before. The total contract amount for the vet is not to exceed $100,000, and the total contract amount for the RVT is not to exceed $36,000. This move will allow the vet and RVT the ability to manage their own tax situation, as well as afford us a $4,000 savings overall. Dr. Richard Bachman has agreed to accept the contract for vet services and Emily Thomas, the current RVT, has agreed to accept the contract for RVT services.
Our medical clinic, in addition to providing assistance with the community cat program, provides spay & neuter services on another 100 animals monthly: adoptions, rescue groups, low income residents, and Pitbulls. Lastly, the standard and quality of medical care shelter animals are receiving is outstanding! We have been able to save over $55,000 in outsourced medical care last year by having our own medical staff provide these services in house.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: William Davidson, Animal Care and Control Director
DATE: May 5, 2015
SUBJECT: (a) Approve Agreement between the County of Lake and Richard Bachman DVM, for FY 15/16 Professional Veterinary Services in the amount of $100,000 and authorize the Chair to sign; and (b) Approve Agreement between the County of Lake and Emily Thomas RVT, for FY 15/16 Registered Veterinary Technician Service in the amount of $36,000 and authorize the Chair to sign.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Attached are the contracts for Veterinary services and Registered Veterinary Technician services at the county animal shelter during fiscal year 15/16. The contract was split in two this year: one for the vet and one for the RVT. Other than this, the layout, design, and request for services is the same as the year before. The total contract amount for the vet is not to exceed $100,000, and the total contract amount for the RVT is not to exceed $36,000. This move will allow the vet and RVT the ability to manage their own tax situation, as well as afford us a $4,000 savings overall. Dr. Richard Bachman has agreed to accept the contract for vet services and Emily Thomas, the current RVT, has agreed to accept the contract for RVT services.
Our medical clinic, in addition to providing assistance with the community cat program, provides spay & neuter services on another 100 animals monthly: adoptions, rescue groups, low income residents, and Pitbulls. Lastly, the standard and quality of medical care shelter animals are receiving is outstanding! We have been able to save over $55,000 in outsourced medical care last year by having our own medical staff provide these services in house.

Zoning: "R-3", Multi-Family Residential District
Case #: 14-0085
II. ABATEMENT SUMMARY
On May 14, 2014, a Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate was prepared and posted at 5900 E. State Hwy 20, Lucerne within the Clearlake Beach Annex Subdivision, and mailed, certified to the property owner of record due to excessive open and outdoor storage of scrap metal & wood, miscellaneous junk, trash & debris, inoperable vehicles. Several complaints had been filed by area residents. The Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate provided Mr. & Mrs. Lodge with 30 days to clean up and remove the inoperable vehicles from the property.
On June 20, 2014, an Inspector from the Community Development Department conducted a site visit and noted some improvement but still need further work. Due to the property owner's clean-up efforts, the abatement date was extended until July 21, 2014. On July 23, 2014, another site visit was conducted to check compliance. The property was fairly clean with the exception of the removal of a recreational vehicle, trailer and inoperable vehicle. The property owner informed the inspector that they needed another two (2) weeks extension to remove the remaining vehicles. Multiple site visits were conducted with little or no change. It was during the site visit that the property was now abandoned/no one living in the dwelling.
The next site visit conducted by the inspector was on December 19, 2014. Unfortunately the inspector found the residence abandoned with additional garbage, trash & debris on the property.
On February 6, 2015, Community Development staff solicited bids for the clean-up of the property. On February 19, 2015, bids were received and the County entered into a contract with a local contractor; Fossa's Backhoe Service who was the low bidder at $3,200.00 with work starting thereafter. On March 11, 2015, a site visit was conducted by the County of Lake Chief Building Official: Michael Lockett to check progress of the cleanup. At the site, it was decided by Mr. Lockett to board up the abandoned dwelling to prevent unauthorized entry for an additional cost of $1,100.00 for a new total amount of $4,300.00. On March 24, 2015, a site visit was conducted and the project was completed to the County's satisfaction.
..RECOMMENDATION
III. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors confirm the assessment of $4,854.08 and direct staff to Record a Notice of Lien against the property. The cost abate the property was $4,300.00. The administrative costs on this case amounted to $554.08.
Sample Motion:
I move that the assessment of $4,854.08 for nuisance abatement on property located at 5900 E. State Highway 20 Lucerne, CA, also known as Assessors Parcel Number 034-422-20, and owned by Paul E and Glenda A Lodge be confirmed and the Enforcement Official be directed to prepare and have recorded in the office of the Lake County Recorder, a Notice of Lien in the amount of $4,854.08 pursuant to Lake County Ordinance Code Chapter 13, Section 13-43.

As the Lake County Housing Commission, we are considered by HUD to be a "qualified" Public Housing Agency (PHA) because we administer less than 550 Section 8 Housing vouchers, we are not designated as a "troubled PHA" and we do not have a failing score under the Section 8 Management Assessment Program.
As a "qualified" PHA we are required to approve a Civil Rights certification annually for submission to HUD.

Report
approved
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In 2002 the LCAQMD purchased a 2002 GMC Safari cargo van that has historically been used as a source test vehicle. This vehicle is considered a specialized use vehicle and since 2008 District Staff has attempted to reduce the need for specialized vehicles, and replace them with universal use vehicles. This van has two seats and the inside is setup with parts racks and open cargo space. The van currently has less than 40,000 miles on it, and is no longer required for source testing. The Public Services Buildings and Grounds department has expressed significant interest in obtaining the van and are willing to reimburse the District the current Blue Book auction value, as determined by Don Hoberg, for this vehicle.
We believe it is a positive step in reducing costs to the District for maintaining a low use vehicle, and also provide a much needed vehicle to Public Services without the significant cost of a new vehicle. It also makes good budget sense for us to eliminate a single use specialty vehicle as we have universal use vehicles that can perform all the function of this vehicle as well as other daily use needs.

9.3Consideration of Resolution Opting to Affirm an Exemption from the Requirements of Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling.
Action Item
Adopted
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Last year AB 1826 (Chesbro, 2014) Recycling of Organic Waste was signed into law. The statute requires businesses that generate a specified amount of organic waste per week to arrange for recycling services for that organic waste. It phases in this requirement by the amount of organic waste generated:
* By April 1, 2016, for businesses who generate eight cubic yards or more of commercial organic waste per week
* By January 1, 2017, for businesses who generate four cubic yards or more of commercial organic waste per week
* By January 1, 2019, for businesses who generate four or more cubic yards of solid waste per week.
It also requires governing jurisdictions to implement an organics recycling program for businesses by January 2, 2016, and to implement education, outreach, and monitoring activities and report annually to CalRecycle, much the same as the mandatory commercial organic recycling program. However, with the mandatory commercial organic recycling program, there are some additional components for the jurisdiction to include in the program that would be a significant challenge and of little or no value to the County.
There are few commercial properties in Lake County large enough to generate the first two thresholds that would require onsite collection of organics. Moreover, it is not known how we could determine the volume of organics generated by private business. Because of the very low number of businesses that meet these thresholds, the cost to provide a commercial organics collection program would be unfeasibly high.
Fortunately, Supervisor Farrington brought to our attention the fact that the Regional Council of Rural Counties (RCRC) was able to include a provision in the law that allows an exemption from all requirements of AB 1826 for the smallest counties (population less than 70,000) until January 1, 2020. In order to take advantage of the exemption, your Board of Supervisors must pass a resolution including findings as to the purpose and need for exemption. Each of the two cities would be required to pass a similar resolution to become exempt from the new regulation.
Even with this exemption, hopefully the third tier can be re-visited legislatively in the next couple of years before the exemption expires. Phase 3 requires generators of 4 cubic yards of solid waste per week to sign up for organics collection. Consequently, this is the only phase where we could know which Lake County businesses would be subject to the regulations. But a business generating 4 CY of solid waste may generate little to no organic waste, depending on the property and the nature of the business.

Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
a) 2014 Statewide December Winter Storms
As your Board may recall heavy rains began on the evening of December 10, 2014, and continued the following morning causing flooding and road closures throughout Lake County. This prompted the activation of the Lake OES Emergency Operations Center ("EOC") and the Declaration of a Local Emergency by the County Administrative Officer on December 11, 2014. December 16, 2014, your Board ratified the declaration by resolution 2014-143, confirming the existence of such emergency. The declaration of a local emergency has since been extended three times.
Subsequent to our request by the Disaster Council, Governor Brown issued a Proclamation of a State of Emergency for Lake County including the authorization of immediate assistance through the Federal Highway Administration's ("FHWA") Emergency Relief Program as well as funding through the California Disaster Assistance Act ("CDAA"). On April 20, 2015, Lake OES, as the County of Lake's authorized agent as per resolution 2015-32, submitted our formal application for CDAA funds to the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services.
As of Thursday, April 23, 2015, Hill Road was reopened to through traffic following the removal of debris blocking access to the hospital due to damages sustained during the winter storm, and thus the situation is now under control and there no longer exists an emergency.
The Lake County Public Works Department has completed the first phase of this project, emergency opening of Hill Road, and will begin second phase which will include permanent repairs (allowing permanent, safe access to the public when using Hill Road). All other projects are either complete or in progress, and are awaiting approval and reimbursement of eligible costs under the FHWA and/or CDAA application process.
b) Letters of Appreciation
One of the many successes during the 2014 December Winter Storms was the support we received from the Governor's Office of Emergency Services, Senator Mike McGuire, Assemblyman Bill Dodd, and Governor Brown. FHWA and CDAA funding through the Governor's proclamation of a State of Emergency have positively impacted our ability to quickly recover from the damage sustained in the December storms, as well as stretch our limited resources.

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

Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
BACKGROUND
This project was considered by the Lake County Planning Commission on 3/26/15. The preferred water supply option was an intertie pipeline between the South Main Street/Soda Bay Road commercial area and the Finley-Kelseyville water system. This proposal was met with widespread and vocal opposition by existing water system customers in Finley and Kelseyville. An additional stand-alone well site option is proposed that will be further away from Manning Creek than that proposed for Option 2, (another stand-alone well site). In addition, it has the potential to offer improved water quality. This site is located on the south side of Soda Bay Road across from Lake County Waste Solutions. We have had very positive communications with the property owner who is very interested in negotiating an agreement with the County.
PROPOSAL
The attached agreement would authorize the consultant, (OEI Environmental, Inc.), to perform a hydrology evaluation of this new site to the same level of detail as the previous evaluation for options 1 and 2. It is appropriate to have the same consultant perform this work due to his current knowledge of the local hydrological conditions. The compensation is $11,400.00. The scope is consistent with the level of detail required for the CEQA documentation for this project. Staff recommends approval.
The policy for the selection of professional consultants specifically provides that it may be waived for projects costing between $10,000 to $25,000 upon the following conditions:
i. Limited number of firms in the region which are qualified to provide the service.
ii. Nature of the project is routine and a full scale RFP would not significantly affect the quality nor the cost of the service.
iii. Duration of the project is estimated to be less than three (3) months, such as a narrowly focused environmental study for a project not requiring an environmental impact report.
The proposed project meets these conditions.
..Recommended Action
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors take the following actions:
1) Waive the competitive consultant selection process as provided in the policy.
2) Approve the attached agreement for Hydrology Report Services for South Main Street/Soda Bay Road Water System with OEI Environmental, Inc. in the amount of $11,400.00 and authorize the Chair to sign.
