Board Of Supervisors — Tuesday, July 21, 2015

MEMORANDUM TO: The Honorable Members of the Lake County Board of Supervisors FROM: Caroline Chavez, Director of Public Services DATE: July 20, 2015 SUBJECT: Extra Agenda Item - Requesting Appropriation for 2016 Ford Truck EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: I respectfully request that you place on your July 21, 2015, Board of Supervisor's Agenda an item to appropriate the funds that were already approved and allocated in the 14/15 budget to purchase a 2016 Ford truck for the Solid Waste Division. The justification for considering an item not on the posted agenda is as follows: The need to take action came to the attention of this department subsequent to the posting of the current agenda: On July 20, 2015, staff was alerted that the amount for the truck was not carried over when preparing the budget in March, There was no reason to believe that it would not be delivered by 14/15 years end, but it was not and we overlooked the need to carry the appropriation forward. We are asking for approval of this appropriation as the purchase order was issued to Ukiah Ford in the amount of $31,181.72. There is a need to take immediate action before the next available agenda. It is necessary to take action on this item before the next available agenda as the purchase order was already submitted to Ukiah Ford for the purchase of a 2016 Ford truck for the Solid Waste Division which is on the lot and ready. The cost is not a problem for the Solid Waste Budget but does require approval from your Board. Background: A 2015 Dodge truck was approved by your Board of Supervisors and then ordered from Dodge on December 3, 2014, after 7 months of promises to deliver Dodge stated they would be unable to fulfill the County's order until 2016 and at that point the price of the truck would go up at that point. After doing some research we were able to find a 2016 Ford truck which is equivalently equipped and just $4600.00 more than originally requested. The cost through Ukiah Ford is under what it would have been to wait for Dodge to build and deliver. The order from Dodge was canceled.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors on Behalf of CSA 16 Paradise Valley Water System FROM: Mark Dellinger, Administrator and Jan Coppinger, Compliance Coordinator DATE: July 7, 2015 SUBJECT: Intertie Pipeline with Clearlake Oaks County Water District - Construction Inspection Services Agreement with RGH Consultants EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Background On May 19, 2015, your Board approved the funding agreement for the construction of these facilities. In the interim, we have been waiting for Caltrans approval of archeological documentation so the encroachment permit can be issued. The delay has created a very short time frame in which to construct the project while meeting all of Caltrans' schedule requirements. Given these limitations, we have to retain the services of a professional firm to perform the important task of construction inspection. Agreement with RGH Consultants Due to the strict time limitations imposed on the project, following the consultant selection process was not viable. We canvassed several local people having the needed experience but none are currently available. Also, we obtained informal cost proposals from three engineering firms (Veizades Associates, CH2M Hill, RGH Consultants). RGH is considered the best suited to perform the work for several reasons. 1) They have local experience in Lake County that includes construction inspection, geotechnical investigations, and materials testing within Highway 20. 2) They can mobilize staff quickly from within the County. Two of the three staff assigned to this project reside in Lake County. This reduces response time and travel costs. 3) The RGH proposal was the lowest hourly rate and daily travel time costs. The total cost of this work is $35,280. This is based on the negotiated hourly rate and the estimated construction time of 45 working days. The funding for these construction inspection services is available through the Department of Water Resources (DWR) Emergency Drought Grant previously approved by your Board. FISCAL IMPACT: _X_ None _X_Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Estimated Cost: $35,280 Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): None, paid by DWR grant. STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): None ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff is requesting that your Board take the following action: 1. Make a determination that the competitive consultant selection process would produce no economic benefit to the County and waive the consultant selection process, and 2. Approve consultant agreement with RGH Consultants for inspection services for construction of an 8 inch intertie pipeline in the amount of $36,280 and authorize the Chair to sign. Questions regarding this matter should be addressed to Mark Dellinger or Jan Coppinger.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Scott DeLeon, Water Resources Director DATE: July 21, 2015 SUBJECT: Consideration of Appeal of an Administrative Citation for (a) Richard Jones; (b) Jose Zapeda; and (c) Jason Buckley EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On June 19th 2012, your Board enacted Ordinance 2976 which established the Administrative Citation process for boaters found in violation of the County's Quagga Mussel Prevention Program. Under this ordinance, the enforcement officers have the option of citing a violation using an Administrative Citation instead of a Criminal Citation. For a first offense, the fine is $100; however the individual receiving the violation has the option to appeal the fine to your Board and today's item is a hearing for two citation appeals. I have provided a short summary of the cases and I anticipate that the Appellants or a representative will be available to present their argument. (a) Jose Zapeda Mr. Zapeda had apparently loaned his personal watercraft vessel to a relative and it was discovered on the lake without a current Lake County Quagga Mussel sticker by the Sheriff Boat Patrol on May 30, 2015. The operator was cited for violation of County Code 15.63 - Failure to display a current Lake County Quagga Mussel sticker. According to Mr. Zapeda's appeal paperwork, current stickers had been purchased for the craft; however they were not affixed to the hull of the boat prior to its use in the lake. Staff's Argument: The County Sheriff's Department has adopted a no-tolerance policy on violations of the County Quagga Mussel ordinance. The vessel owner was familiar with the requirements of the program and should have been aware that he was responsible for ensuring his vessel had the proper stickers prior to its operation on Clear Lake. Simply possessing the stickers is not sufficient, they need to be attached to the vessel and visible. (b) Richard Jones Mr. Jones was cited by a Lake County Sheriff Boat Patrol officer on June 17, 2015. He was cited for violation of County Code 15.63 - Failure to display a current Lake County Quagga Mussel sticker. According to the incident summary provided by the officer, Mr. Jones and his daughter were observed riding Personal Watercraft in the lake without a current Lake County Quagga Sticker, and upon contact by the officer, Mr. Jones claimed he thought the State of California sticker was sufficient. According to the appeal paperwork, Mr. Jones has purchased County Quagga stickers for these watercraft for the past 3 years, so he was familiar with the local program requirements. Signage at the nearby ramp advised boaters that all vessels must have current stickers and attached is a photograph of one of the signs at the ramp. Staff's Argument: The County Sheriff's Department has adopted a no-tolerance policy on violations of the County Quagga Mussel ordinance. The vessel owner was familiar with the requirements of the program and should have been aware that he was responsible for ensuring his vessel had the proper stickers prior to its operation on Clear Lake. (c) Jason Buckley Mr. Buckley was cited by a Lake County Sheriff Boat Patrol officer on June 27, 2015. He was cited for violation of County Code 15.63 - Failure to display a current Lake County Quagga Mussel sticker. According to the incident summary provided by the officer, the vessel Mr. Buckley was operating had failed to display a ski warning flag and upon contact by the officer, it was observed the boat did not have the required local stickers. Mr. Buckley claimed he was not aware of a local program and did not see any signs at the ramps. According to the appeal paperwork, Mr. Buckley visited Redbud Park the following day and observed several signs in the vicinity of the ramps. Also in his paperwork, he recalls an event with many people at the park - which is presumed to suggest he was distracted while launching his boat. Mr. Buckley also claims that due to the late hour he launched (6:30 pm) the signs were difficult to see due to the darkness - saying that without lights, the signs were "impossible to see or even notice in the evening light", however; Mr. Buckley was cited on the lake while pulling an inflatable tube at 7:35 pm. It should also be noted that sunset was officially at 8:36 pm on June 27, 2015. Staff's Argument: The County Sheriff's Department has adopted a no-tolerance policy on violations of the County Quagga Mussel ordinance. Signage alerting boaters to the Lake County requirements exists on State Highways leading into Lake County, and there were signs posted at the ramp used by the appellant. The owner is responsible for ensuring his vessel had the proper stickers prior to its operation on Clear Lake, and though it's unfortunate the citation tainted their overall experience, all boaters - residents and visitors - are responsible for following the local ordinance. ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: (a)(b)(c)Only the Board of Supervisors can grant an appeal to the Administrative Citation. Your Board has supported the Sheriff's Department's policy of zero-tolerance on previous citation appeals and staff recommends that you follow your previous decisions.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Richard Coel, Community Development Director Prepared by: Michalyn DelValle, Senior Planner DATE: July 7, 2015 SUBJECT: Appeal of Planning Commission Denial of Major Use Permit for Dollar General Store, Kelseyville; AB 15-02 APN's 008-710-50 and 51 Supervisor District 5 EXHIBITS: A. Appeal Form B. Draft Planning Commission Minutes dated May 28, 2015 C. Planning Commission Staff Report Dated May 13, 2015 D. Proposed Modified UP 15-01 Conditions E. Public Comments Letters BACKGROUND The appellant is appealing the Planning Commission's May 28, 2015 unanimous denial of a Major Use Permit (UP 15-01) to permit construction of an approximately 9,100 square foot general retail store (Dollar General) at 4315 Douglas Street and 5505 Main Street, Kelseyville. The appeal was filed by the applicant, Cross Development citing that the project is in conformance with the Community Character of downtown Kelseyville. There was considerable controversy during the Planning Commission hearing. Approximately 10 members of the public spoke against the project citing various concerns, including character, economic concerns and impact to small local businesses, wrong location and traffic concerns for school children. Several letters were submitted by members of the public that also expressed these concerns, and a few letters expressed support of having a Dollar General store in Kelseyville. These letters are included as Exhibit E. The Planning Commission cited the following additional concerns with the proposed project: appropriateness of alcoholic beverage license; the Clearlake Oaks Dollar General store had not demonstrated a track record of giving back or being part of the community and had not reached out to the nearby school; concern that this store would not be a good neighbor; and, that its proximity to Kelseyville High School was not ideal. During the Planning Commission hearing staff presented several recommended modifications (BOS Exhibit D) to the project to address some of the compatibility concerns which included: * Requiring larger planted shrubs and trees * Reducing the amount of signage and prohibiting a freestanding sign * Providing additional pedestrian access * Reducing the amount of parking spaces * Limiting the hours of commercial truck deliveries * Extending enhanced architectural design around all sides of the building and completely screening roof-mounted equipment. These recommendations were presented as an attempt to bring the project more into conformance with the community character of Kelseyville. The Planning Commission denied the project on a 5-0 vote stating that: A. The site, located across from a high school, is not appropriate for this proposed project due to the high traffic and pedestrian volumes. B. The project, as designed is not compatible with the community character of Kelseyville. II. APPEAL DISCUSSION The appeal form submitted by Cross Development (BOS Exhibit A) states: "As the applicant on the above referenced project, Cross Development wishes to appeal the decision of the Lake County Planning Commission in regards to case# UP15-01. We believe that the Planning Commission's decision did not take in to account all of the facts outlined in the staff report, the findings outlined in the Initial Study (IS 15-03), and the conditions of approval placed on the project which, in our opinion, serve to address concerns raised and ensure that all impacts will be properly mitigated in accordance with applicable codes, regulations, and policies. We believe that the project will not negatively impact the high school in terms of traffic and pedestrian circulation and can, in fact, serve to promote a vibrant downtown in Kelseyville. Analysis has been submitted to Lake County demonstrating that traffic volumes associated with Dollar General will not unduly burden area roadways and access has been designed to Lake County standards to ensure conflicts with the High School will not result. Also, it is important to note that peak traffic hours associated with the school are different than that of Dollar General. As such, no pedestrian or traffic conflicts are anticipated. In terms of the Planning Commission's related to community character, Dollar General will be complementary to existing commercial businesses along Main Street. There are currently a variety of commercial uses and building styles located along Main Street. Dollar General is an appropriate use given the surrounding land use patterns and conditions included with the Major Use Permit further ensure compatibility." Staff had made several recommendations for modifications to the project design in an attempt to address concerns related to inconsistency with community character, to bring the project into conformance with the community of Kelseyville's design guidelines. Additionally, the Department of Public Works, during initial review of the project, did not request that a traffic study be conducted for this development as they believed it was not warranted. Most of the traffic related concerns expressed by members of the public and the Superintendent of the Kelseyville Unified School District were related to pedestrian traffic from the High School at this location. The current zoning of this project site is "C2", Community Commercial, with a land use designation of Community Commercial. This district allows for general retail stores as a use-by-right if the building does not exceed 5,000 square feet. Other uses that would be allowed by right on this parcel include restaurant, professional offices, bank or indoor entertainment of up to 5,000 square feet, or a small hotel. Because the proposed Dollar General store is larger, at 9,100 square feet, Section 19.5(a) of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance requires that approval of a major use permit be obtained. Therefore, staff believes that the focus of this appeal should be centered on project design (site layout and building architecture) and pedestrian traffic concerns. ..Recommended Action III. CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission did not take any action on the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration that was prepared for the project, since projects that are denied are not subject to CEQA. Should the Board of Supervisors decide to grant the appeal request to Cross Development, this project will need to be brought back to the Planning Commission for CEQA action, and presumably for amendments to the proposed use permit conditions to require project revisions addressing community character concerns. Sample Motions: Appeal Approval: I move that the Board of Supervisors make an intended decision to grant appeal AB 15-02 and overturn the Planning Commission's denial of Use Permit 15-01 applied for by Cross Development on behalf of Dollar General, on property located at 4315 Douglas Street and 5505 Main Street, Kelseyville, and direct County Counsel to prepare findings of fact before remanding the project back to the Planning Commission for completion of environmental review. Appeal Denial: I move that the Board of Supervisors make an intended decision to deny the appeal AB 15-02 and sustain the Planning Commission's denial of Use Permit 15-01 for Cross Development, on behalf of Dollar General, and direct County Counsel to prepare proposed findings of fact.

Exhibit A of Resolution No. 2015-78 consists in part of the resolutions adopted by Lake County fire agencies whereby their respective fire mitigation fees are imposed. The Resolution adopted by the Northshore Fire Protection District contains a typographical error in that, while the dollar amount of the fee is correct, that amount does not correctly reflect the percentage of the fire mitigation fee ceiling.

The Committee met, reviewed and discussed the requests, and made Committee determinations. Below you will find a list of the requests, not already considered by your Board, that were received by the Committee, the Committee's recommendation for each request and the reason(s) for the Committee's determination. Public Works Public Works Fiscal Coordinator I/II Department is requesting to create a new Public Works Fiscal Coordinator I/II flex series. Proposed Grade and entry step: Public Works Fiscal Coordinator I Grade B23 $21.9041 Public Works Fiscal Coordinator II Grade B25 $24.1493 Committee Recommendation: Approve request. Reasoning: The creation of this flex series will allow the department to begin succession planning their fiscal functions, as well as allowing for cross-training on complex fiscal and reporting issues unique to the Department of Public Works. Cost Information: The salary of the Fiscal Coordinator II is equal to the Public Works Analyst, which will be eliminated upon the next vacancy. Therefore, in the long term there will be no affect on cost. In the near term there will be a slight increase in cost while the Fiscal Coordinator I and Public Works Analyst are both filled. This will not affect the general fund as the Public Works Administration budget unit is self-funded. (Requires Meet and Confer) Social Services Salary Adjustment for professional staff assigned to Child Welfare functions. Department is requesting to increase the salaries for professional classifications assigned to Child Welfare Services by 7.5% due to critical staffing shortages related to recruitment and retention issues.

Reasoning: The Department of Social Services is facing critical staffing issues in Child Welfare Services. This affects the department's ability to effectively protect at risk, neglected and abused children, which could have dire consequences. The increase in salary for positions assigned to Child Welfare Services should assist in the department's ability to attract qualified staff to fill these critical vacancies. Cost Information: The Department of Social Services is self-funded, therefore the proposed increases will not affect the general fund. (Requires Meet and Confer) Legal Analyst I/II Department is requesting to create a new Legal Analyst I/II class series.

The creation of the flex series will allow the department to have a dedicated staff member to ensure reporting requirements, court requirements, and other legal and/or compliance support related to Child Welfare Services are performed in a timely, effective way. In addition, this position will allow other professional staff assigned to Child Welfare Services to focus on other critical issues related to the protection of at risk, neglected and abused children.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Directors, Lake County Watershed Protection District FROM: Scott De Leon, Water Resources Director DATE: July 6, 2015 SUBJECT: Consent Agenda Item for July 21, 2015 Property Acquisition - Middle Creek Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project - Approval of Purchase Contract APN 004-010-04 & 004-013-18, 755 & 737 E State HWY 20, 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, seventeen 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 004-010-04 & 004-013-18, 755 & 737 E State Highway 20, Upper Lake: The 115.25 acre property has a 49 acre vineyard and vacant land (formerly vineyard) and is owned by Robinson Lake Vineyard LLC. The fair market value is $1,510,000 as established by an independent fee appraisal and review by the State of California, Department of Water Resources, Real Estate Division. This acquisition is fully funded by the DWR Grant. The northern portion of the property (approximately 40 acres) is outside of the Project boundaries. Staff is investigating options for this portion of the property. Attached as Exhibit "A" 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.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Marisa Chilafoe, Emergency Services Manager DATE: July 9, 2015 SUBJECT: Continuing the Proclamation of a Local Emergency Due To Drought Conditions EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On March 4, 2014, your board proclaimed a local emergency, continuing the emergency thirteen times, and on June 23, 2015, your board proclaimed a continued local emergency due to ongoing drought conditions. Pursuant to State law, your Board is required to review the status of the declared emergency every 30 days. As your board is aware, the severity of this year's drought became apparent as our community water systems, private wells and natural resources struggled to maintain adequate water supply, was complicated by the extreme effects of the lake's algae, the County saw impacts to local agriculture and has brought about extreme fire danger county-wide. Lake County remains one of 55 California counties to be declared a primary natural disaster area due to drought damages and losses by the U.S. Department of Agriculture ("USDA"). Such declaration makes all qualified farm operators eligible for low interest emergency loans from the USDA's Farm Service Agency. Though local water rights curtailments have been lifted, the compliance order in place for Hidden Valley Lake's Community Service District ("CSD") remains in place until the CSD can address its junior water rights. In addition, several additional local water districts are either seeking or in the process of receiving grant funding to mitigate system issues related to the drought. Lake OES continues to work with local water districts, the State Water Resources Control Board, the State Department of Water Resources and the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services ("Cal OES") regarding potential funding and solutions. Given the circumstances, the County continues to seek State or Federal assistance for impacted systems as drought conditions persist and weather forecasts predict continued drought conditions. Therefore, continuing the declaration of an emergency and maintaining a proactive approach to drought response is critical for area water purveyors in maintaining the health and safety of their customers - Lake County residents and tourists - and protecting our local economy. Continuing the declaration of an emergency is also required to allow the County to seek funding specifically designated for drought relief purposes, and other assistance that might be required.
