Board Of Supervisors — Tuesday, July 7, 2015

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Scott De Leon. Public Works Director DATE: July 2, 2015 SUBJECT: Approval of Change Order No. Four for Soda Bay Road at Cole Creek Bridge Replacement Project, Federal Project No. BRLS-5914(025); Bid No. 13-31. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Attached for the Board's review and approval is Contract Change Order (CCO) No. Four for the subject project. CCO No. Four addresses the resolution of Potential Claim Record No. 1, dated April 20, 2015 and described as "Due to conflict with Pacific Gas and Electric power lines, whereby increasing costs and reducing productivity". The plans indicated Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) power poles would be relocated by others at a new location to be determined by PG&E. Addendum No. 3 issued on July 16, 2014 stated that the power line couldn't be moved out of the way and that ..."As a result, the Contractor will need to coordinate with the Utility Company so that the OH line can be shut down or a temporary bypass provided during the driving or some other provision. The Contractor and PG&E will need to work together so that the pile driving can be done safely." After the contract was awarded, PG&E agreed to shut down the line for 72 hours. The contractor requested additional compensation to pay for the cost of using a specialist subcontractor that could drive the piles in the 72 hour window. The contractor said they had bid the project using their crews to drive the piles with no interference with the power lines. This request was denied because of the warning in the Addendum. The contractor submitted Initial Potential Claim Record No. 1 for reimbursement of the additional cost. After a discussion with Fred Pezeshk and Scott Hornung with Lake County Public Works and County Counsel , Anita Grant, it was determined that the contractor did not have adequate time to coordinate with PG&E because bids were opened 2 days after Addendum No. 3 and payment of additional costs was justified . The payment adjustment at agreed price is based on the force account cost analysis of a subcontractor driving the piles in the 72 hour window with J.F. Shea providing support , less the Bid Item prices for Item 48 Drive Steel Piles (HP 10 x 42) and Item 50 Drive Steel Piling (HP 10 x 57). A Subcontractor's markup of 15% was used instead of 10% as stated in the Standard Specifications to cover the attorney fees and other costs due to the potential claim. The project was bid with the pile driving done by the contractor's forces in 14 days. This change order performs the work in 3 days for a time adjustment of -11 days. This project is fully funded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) through Federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) funding and state Surface Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funding. Therefore, this project is 100% federally and state funded through construction. Staff recommends approval by the Board of Supervisors of Contract Change Order No. Four and that the Board authorizes the Chair to execute CCO No. Four for an increase of $74,300.00 and a revised contract amount of $1,280,681.07 FISCAL IMPACT: __ None __Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Estimated Cost: Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION:

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Scott De Leon, Public Works Director DATE: June 25, 2015 SUBJECT: Approve Amendment One to Agreement between the County of Lake and Quincy Engineering Inc., for Final Design and Right-of-Way Services for the South Main Street and Soda Bay Road Corridor Improvement Project in Lake County, CA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On February 24, 2015, the Department of Public Works entered into an Agreement with Quincy Engineering, Inc. for Final Design and Right-of-Way Services for the South Main Street and Soda Bay Road Corridor Improvement Project. Staff has identified the need to amend this Agreement as described herein. The Principal-In-Charge originally assigned to the project, Alan Glen, resigned from Quincy Engineering to take a position with the California High-Speed Rail Authority. In Mr. Glen's place Quincy Engineering proposes Mark Reno as the new Principal-In-Charge. Mr. Reno has extensive transportation project delivery experience and is the Principal-In-Charge for multiple bridge replacement projects with the County of Lake. Consulting firms providing engineering and design related services for a federal-aid highway project under a contract funded by a federal grant are required by regulation to either, a) develop indirect cost rates in accordance with federal cost principles on an annual basis, or b) utilize a national "safe harbor" indirect cost rate of 110% as long as the firm meets certain eligibility requirements. The subconsultant for right-of-way acquisition, Bender Rosenthal Inc. (BRI), proposed to use the safe harbor rate of 110% in the Agreement. However, after execution of the Agreement BRI was notified by Caltrans that they were not eligible to use the safe harbor rate because they have sufficient government contract history to use as a basis for the development of a firm-specific indirect cost rate. In response, BRI hired a Certified Public Accountant to conduct an audit and develop an indirect cost rate specific to BRI. The revised rate of 108.04% results in a cost reduction of $2,262 to the Agreement and a new Agreement not-to-exceed amount of $2,180,333. Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve Amendment One to the Agreement with Quincy Engineering for Final Design and Right-of-Way Services for the South Main Street and Soda Bay Road Corridor Improvement Project in the amount not to exceed $2,180,333 (a reduction of $2,262), and authorize the Chairman to execute said Agreement.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Richard Coel, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Notice of Assessment & Lien Hearing for Gary and Ellen Rahmer; Supervisorial District 3 Date: June 2, 2015 ATTACHMENTS: 1. Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate 2. Notice of Assessment 3. Proposed Notice of Lien 4. Contractor's Invoice 5. Task Sheet I. PROPERTY OUTLINE: Property Owner: Gary & Ellen Rahmer Location: 6586 Cheviot Rd, Lucerne CA APN: 034-343-01 Zoning: "R-1", Single-Family Residential-Residential Design Case #: 14-0050 II. ABATEMENT SUMMARY On March 14, 2014, an Inspector from the Community Development Department conducted a site visit due to several complaints that had been filed by area residents. He noted excessive open and outdoor storage of junk, trash & debris along with inoperable vehicle. The inspector made contact with the property owner and informed them that the property needed to be cleaned up and repairs needed to be made to the dwelling. Multiple follow up site visits were conducted and showed signs of being cleaned up. However no improvement was noted on the dwelling. Further research indicated that no permits had been obtained by the property owner. On May 15, 2014, a Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate was then prepared and posted June 4, 2014 at the above referenced property within the Clearlake Beach Annex Subdivision, and mailed certified to the property owner of record due to the substandard structure. The Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate provided Mr. & Mrs. Rahmer with 30 days to obtain any necessary permits to repair, rehabilitate or demolish the substandard structure. The property owner; Mr. Rahmer came into the office several times, first asking for an extension of time, which was granted. He also asked what was needed to rehabilitate the dwelling. He was informed each time as to what needed to be done. A site visit was conducted by the inspector on August 26, 2015 and no change was noted on the property. A Courtesy Notification letter was sent Certified Mail to the property owner the same day. The letter requested the property owner to contact the office within 10 days to discuss the case. The letter was returned September 25, 2014 "unclaimed", with no further contact from the property owner. On October 31, 2014, the Chief Building Official conducted a site visit and again, no progress was noted. February 18, 2015 Community Development staff solicited bids for the demolition of the substandard dwelling. On March 2, 2015, bids were received and the County entered into a contract with a local contractor; Case Construction who was the low bidder at $6,850.00. Every effort was made to compel the property owners to remove their personal property from the site. On March 19, 2015 an Abatement Warrant was obtained from Lake County Superior Court and a 24 hour notice was posted on the property on the same day prior to any demolition work commencing. The contractor started work soon thereafter. A site visit was conducted on April 2, 2015, and the project was completed to the County's satisfaction. ..Recommended Action III. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors confirm the assessment of $7,547.97 and direct staff to Record a Notice of Lien against the property. The cost to demolish the substandard was $6,850.00, administrative costs amounted to $697.97. Sample Motion: I move that the assessment of $7,547.97 for nuisance abatement on property located at 6586 Cheviot Wy Lucerne, CA, also known as Assessor's Parcel Number 034-343-01, and owned by Gary and Ellen Rahmer 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 $7,547.97 pursuant to Lake County Ordinance Code Chapter 13, Section 13-43.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Richard Coel, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Proposed Amendment to Lake County Zoning Ordinance Pertaining to Age Limits on Manufactured Home Installations June 23, 2015 Agenda Item DATE: June 9, 2015 ATTACHMENT: Copy of Existing Zoning Ordinance Section with draft revision added SUMMARY On May 19, 2015 your Board directed staff to develop an exception to the proposed 10-year age limit on the installation of used manufactured homes onto private property, exclusively for existing manufactured home owners located within mobilehome parks to be able to relocate their older units out of parks and onto lots they own. Staff has revised the proposed revision to Section 10.20(b) of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance to include a specific exception for owners of manufactured homes located within mobilehome parks that are within the jurisdictional boundary of Lake County, provided that the manufactured home has been owned by the individual seeking to relocate the unit for a minimum of 2 years, and the individual purchased the property prior to the (anticipated) effective date of this ordinance revision. Please refer to page 3 of the attachment, which contains the proposed ordinance revisions in red font. It is staff's opinion that any exception to the 10-year age limited be designed to only apply to owners of older units within parks that have already started the process of relocating their home to a lot they own within the County, and that they have owned the manufactured home for a minimum of two years. This exception should only be applicable to owners within mobilehome parks that are located in the County, not parks within the City of Lakeport or Clearlake. In these cases, the manufactured home will still need to meet the minimum architectural standards of the Zoning Ordinance, and the fire codes applicable to the particular location. ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending that the Board of Supervisors review this latest draft language and provide guidance to staff for any further refinement. In order to expedite this ordinance revision process, staff has scheduled this matter for review and recommendation by the Planning Commission on June 25, 2015, and has provided the required 10-day legal notification. Should your Board determine on June 23rd that additional revisions to the draft exception language are necessary, staff will be able to discuss the changes with the Commission on June 25th before bringing the ordinance revision back to your Board for final adoption in July. The previously reviewed revision to the definition of Manufactured Home in the Zoning Ordinance remain unchanged and will be included in the proposed Ordinance for the Planning Commission and BOS.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Matt Perry, County Administrative Officer DATE: July 7, 2015 SUBJECT: Sale of Holiday Harbor Property EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In 2008, the Lake County Redevelopment Agency acquired the property known as Holiday Harbor located at 3605 and 3655 Lakeshore Boulevard, Nice. The Agency selected a primary project in each community to spur economic activity; and Holiday Harbor was identified as the primary catalyst project in Nice. The Agency initially undertook some efforts to work with private parties to purchase the property; however, two events have created barriers: the "Great Recession" and the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency in February 2012. The dissolution of the Agency meant that funding and the ability to work with potential buyers was severely limited. During the past few years, the County has continued to operate the marina and made some improvements while waiting for the economy to recover. Since the economy is beginning to recover and trying to maintain the property and operate the marina has stretched county resources (both staff and money), staff recommends that the County now try to sell the property. Staff issued a request for proposals and contracted with a real estate broker, Tim Vi Tran of The Ivy Group, based in Fremont, to develop a marketing program, including a custom website and other tasks to help sell the property. A couple of issues should be discussed by your Board. First, how much of the property should be sold. The initial marketing plan adopted by the Board in April 2012 was to keep in public ownership the eastern peninsula that creates the harbor. (See parcels 7, 8, and the area between parcel 8 and the harbor on the attached presentation.) This would expand the area known as known as Nice Community Beach, which is frequented by people fishing and other recreational activities. Therefore, the Board may wish to retain lakefront in public ownership. However, if keeping this portion of the property in public ownership ultimately hinders the sale of the property by limiting the amount of interested buyers and types of projects, then the Board may want to consider offering all parcels 1-8 in the interest of completing a sale. There are additional steps to be taken before the Board officially makes the property available for sale. The first step is to decide which parcels would be offered. The second issue is what types of projects could be developed on the site. The initial marketing plan was to attract a hotel development on the site and not allow a recreational vehicle park. However, the County does not have the ability to assist in a hotel development as the Redevelopment Agency once did. Furthermore, a hotel may not be the most economically viable option for that site. Therefore, staff recommends that the County allow the private sector the ability to determine what development options would be successful on the subject property and propose the project through the normal permitting process. Should the Board decide to sell parcels 7 and 8, Supervisor Steele requests time for a Town Hall meeting to discuss the possibility of reducing the amount of public beachfront access.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Scott DeLeon, Water Resources Director DATE: July 7, 2015 SUBJECT: Consideration of Administrative Encroachment Permit #15-13 for the Hot Car and Boat Show EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Two local businessmen, Tony Barthel and Dave Lakatos will be hosting this first annual event at the Konocti Vista Casino on Saturday, July 18, 2015. According to the event organizers, this new event is expected to draw hundreds of cars and boats. For the boat participants, the organizers would like to provide a closed area to allow the boats to make high-speed passes. We have met with the organizers as well as the Sheriff's Boat Patrol and we concur that a marked-off course will help provide a safe area in which to operate and observe these specialized boats. This event will require your Board to authorize the closure of that portion of the lake situated approximately 1/2-mile outside the entrance to the Konocti Vista Marina Harbor and extending for 1.5 miles in a north-easterly direction as approximated on the attached map. Your Board has the authority to grant this temporary closure pursuant to Section 11.3 of Chapter 23 of the Clear Lake Shoreline Ordinance. This Ordinance allows your Board to authorize a closure if it finds that the proposed uses are appropriate but require special regulations or separation from other uses. In light of the scope of this event and the risks inherent therein, staff believes that this event meets those tests.

Staff recommends that your Board approves such a closure in accordance with the Administrative Encroachment Permit, which is attached hereto for your consideration; and, 2. Waive the Encroachment Permit fee of $665.00 in light of the positive economic benefit the event will bring to the County.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Brian L. Martin - Sheriff/Coroner DATE: June 23, 2015 SUBJECT: Sheriff's Detective to deviate from County of Lake Vehicle Policy, Part D, Subsection K EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The County policy under subsection K reads: "Deputies who live outside of Lake County who have a permanently assigned pursuit vehicle, must leave that vehicle at Central Garage or other location designated by the Sheriff. Such vehicles may not be driven to the deputies out of county residence." The reason for the request for an exception to this vehicle policy for a single employee is that the employee is a detective assigned to the Narcotics Unit. The detective will be assigned as a Task Force Officer with the DEA Task Force which operates out of Santa Rosa, California. The detective's regular duty station will be in Santa Rosa while in this assignment. The investigator currently resides out of county, in Ukiah. The detective is subject to callouts, which will require the detective to report for duty outside of Lake County, in various areas throughout the state. Under the current policy, when the detective is called out for an investigation, the detective will be required to leave Ukiah, drive a personal vehicle to Lakeport, and then respond to the location of the callout. In many instances this will add compensable time to the callout for time spent by the detective driving, and not actually engaged in meaningful investigative functions. This will increase the amount of hours worked above and beyond what would be required if the investigator were able to respond directly from his/her residence with an assigned vehicle. Pursuant to the provisions of the MOU, and other employment laws, the County is responsible for compensating deputies in such instances for time spent in transit. Clearly, time in transit would be greatly increased during such incidents. For work days on which the employee is not called out, the travel time from Lakeport to Santa Rosa will increase the investigator's drive time by a total of 30 minutes each day, as opposed to departing from Ukiah and driving to Santa Rosa. The vehicle that will be used by the investigator will be an unmarked vehicle. The investigator understands that he/she is expected not to engage in any self-initiated enforcement activity outside the course of what the detective's task force assignment requires, while in transit from his/her residence to his/her work station. This request for exemption is a single request specific only to the investigator assigned to the DEA Task Force, and only for the duration of time to which the investigator is assigned to the DEA Task Force. The Sheriff's Office submits this request in the interest of providing efficient law enforcement services and making the best use of County employee time and resources.
