Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Before the outbreak of the 2015 summer wildfires, your Board applied for and was awarded a $33,445 grant for Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation education. Much of the project's work was to be focused in areas that have now been burned and as such the users and vehicles that would have benefitted from this project are largely absent. Furthermore, the Public Services Department is severely understaffed and does not anticipate having the capacity manage this grant from start to finish before the grant's performance period ends this October.

Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This 5 year agreement with Califa will allow the library to join the State Library Broadband Project, a project of the state library to connect libraries to the California Research and Education Network (CalREN) provided by the Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC). CENIC is a nonprofit corporation formed in 1996 to provide high-performance, high-bandwidth networking services to California universities and research institutions. The Califa Group is a not-for-profit membership cooperative serving libraries and information organizations in California and has been appointed by the California State Library to manage the Broadband project.
The most important benefit of connecting to CENIC will be a 500Mbps high speed internet broadband connection for all four branches of the Lake County Library, which is over ten times faster than our current connection. CENIC will also apply for e-rate discounts on our behalf, which will save staff time. E-rate is a federal program that provides telecommunications discounts to schools and libraries. This increased connection will help support current and future digital library offerings such as downloadable eBooks, audiobooks, streaming video and other digital resources the library makes available to the public as well as provide a fast, stable connection to the public for connecting to the internet.
It should also be noted that only if we join the broadband project are we eligible for a $30,000 grant to replace our telecommunications equipment, which is in need of replacement. We are already approved to receive this equipment grant.

Annual Cost (if planned for future years):
FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): : $70,000 will be budgeted in fiscal year 2016-17 to cover the initial cost with no e-rate discounts. E-rate discounts from the previous year may help cover this initial cost. E-rate discounts for the 2016-17 year will be received in the subsequent year. These e-rate discounts are estimated to be 80 to 90% and will help defray the cost.

Proclamation
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Valley Fire is 100% contained. While, removal of hazardous materials and remediation of burned properties is currently under way, it is still early in the process, such that only a portion of ash and other hazardous, or potentially hazardous materials has been removed. Further, although the threat of additional fire damage to structures in impacted areas is reduced, it is not absent. Families have re-entered burned areas that may pose both acute and chronic health risks as well as threats to the environment if timely and appropriate clean-up efforts are not supported.
Continuing the Proclamation of a Local health Emergency by the County Health Officer which was initiated on September 22, 2015, serves to enable assistance from state and federal agencies and provides for streamlined procedures, which are essential for the health and safety of the communities impacted by the Valley and other recent fires. Therefore, it is recommended that the Proclamation of a Local Health Emergency by the Lake County Health Officer as Amended on September 22, 2015 be extended for an additional two-week period of time.

8.49:30 A.M. - (Continued from February 19, 2016) Consideration of Sheriff's Department Request to Reduce Open Office Hours.
Action Item
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Sheriff's Department's Main Office at 1220 Martin Street is open Monday-Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, except on weekends and holidays as mandated in Chapter 2, Article 1, Section 2-2 of the Lake County Code. The public window is normally staffed by 2 Law Enforcement Records Technicians who answer phones, route calls, and interact with members of public seeking information and/or services from the Sheriff's Department. These two employees are also responsible for the Records function of the Department which includes providing reports, recordings, and documents to the District Attorney, responding to Public Records Act requests, accepting legal process for service, and numerous other required tasks.
Of these two employees, one has been out for several weeks due to a medical condition. The date this employee is expected to return to full duty is uncertain. The second employee has recently been promoted, but continues to work in her previous capacity until a replacement can be found. Other clerical staff are occasionally assigned to cover the front desk functions, but this prevents those employees from carrying out the functions of their respective assignments.
One of the critical functions of the Law Enforcement Records Techs is to provide reports to the District Attorney's Office within 48 hours of a person's arrest. Typically, numerous people are arrested over weekends. This creates a large number of "in-custody" reports that need to be processed on Monday mornings to make it to the DA's Office with sufficient time to meet legal requirements.
This request is for authorization to close our public office hours on Monday mornings until 1:00 PM. This closure is proposed to remain in effect until such time as we have hired sufficient Law Enforcement Records Techs to adequately staff the public desk while at the same time meeting our legal requirements to process reports on Monday mornings for delivery to the District Attorney's Office. As of the writing of this memo, there is an active recruitment for the Law Enforcement Records Tech position, and the Sheriff's Office will continue its efforts to fill these positions.

Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In October of 1992, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 2114 establishing a Fire Mitigation Fee Program that is applicable on new construction. Pursuant to that Ordinance, each local fire district adopted a Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plan, which serves as the basis for the findings that support each district's requested fire mitigation fees. Those individual Plans and findings were then collectively adopted by your Board to become the Lake County Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plan.
The subject Ordinance also directs the fire districts to annually submit a resolution which reflects re-adoption of their findings and a request to continue imposition of their fire mitigation fees. Similarly, Government Code Section 66002 requires that the Lake County Fire Facility and Equipment Plan be updated annually by resolution at a noticed public hearing. This update consists of each district's re-adopted findings as well as their Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plans as may be amended.
Each of the fire districts has now submitted the appropriate resolutions which staff has found sufficient to meet the requirements of Ordinance No. 2114. Of particular note is that Lake County Fire Protection District is proposing to increase its fee from 60 cents to $1.00 per sq.ft. for all buildings, both sprinklered and unsprinklered. This increase will conform Lake County Fire's mitigation fee to that of all the other fire districts.
The attached County resolution serves to collectively approve the individual resolutions of each fire district, update the Lake County Fire Facility and Equipment Plan, and authorize collection of the indicated fire mitigation fees.

Pursuant to that Ordinance, each local fire district adopted a Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plan, which serves as the basis for the findings that support each district's requested fire mitigation fees. Those individual Plans and findings were then collectively adopted by your Board to become the Lake County Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plan.
The subject Ordinance also directs the fire districts to annually submit a resolution which reflects re-adoption of their findings and a request to continue imposition of their fire mitigation fees. Similarly, Government Code Section 66002 requires that the Lake County Fire Facility and Equipment Plan be updated annually by resolution at a noticed public hearing. This update consists of each district's re-adopted findings as well as their Capital Fire Facility and Equipment Plans as may be amended.
Each of the fire districts has now submitted the appropriate resolutions which staff has found sufficient to meet the requirements of Ordinance No. 2114. Of particular note is that Lake County Fire Protection District is proposing to increase its fee from 60 cents to $1.00 per sq.ft. for all buildings, both sprinklered and unsprinklered. This increase will conform Lake County Fire's mitigation fee to that of all the other fire districts.
The attached County resolution serves to collectively approve the individual resolutions of each fire district, update the Lake County Fire Facility and Equipment Plan, and authorize collection of the indicated fire mitigation fees.

Resolution
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In December of 2015 a public economic summit meeting was held in Middletown for the purpose of reviewing the current state of the local economy, discussing the impacts of the September fires, and beginning the process for future community and economic development. The information gathered at that meeting, research done by the County Economic Development Program, and input from multiple sources throughout the county, has been incorporated into the 2016 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). The Strategy follows the format and contains the information required by the Federal Economic Development Administration. The CEDs has been posted on the County Fire Recovery website for over the required 30-day period.
The CEDS provides a great deal of information regarding the historic and current state of the economy, demographic information, infrastructure, and our overall capacity to pursue economic development. The CEDS also provides a work plan to pursue economic and community development. This work plan is summarized in the Executive Summary section on pages 2 and 3. The work plan then becomes a local reference guide for pursuing economic development tasks and projects. The projects and activities listed in the work plan then become eligible for funding from the Economic Development Administration and other sources, such as the USDA.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As your Board is aware, in the afternoon of July 29, 2015, the Rocky Fire began in the area of Morgan Valley Road and continued for several weeks. This prompted the activation of the Lake OES Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and I declared a Local Emergency on July 31, 2015. On August 4, 2015, your Board ratified the declaration by Resolution no. 2015-107, confirming the existence of such emergency. The dangers of this year's fire season continued on Sunday, August 9, 2015, when the Jerusalem Fire broke out, and your Board amended the declaration of a local emergency on August 18, 2015, to include the Jerusalem Fire, by Resolution no. 2015-109. On the afternoon of September 12, 2015, the Valley Fire began. This again prompted the activation of the EOC and I declared a Local Emergency that evening. This was ratified by your Board on September 15, 2015 by Resolution no. 2015-128.
As the County seeks funding and performs recovery operations related to tree removal and other fire recovery projects for the Rocky, Jerusalem, and Valley Fires, it is advisable that we continue the declaration of an emergency to support the fire recovery process.
This declaration needs to be re-considered and confirmed by your Board once every 30 days to stay in effect.
..Recommended Action
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends your Board extend the Proclamation of a Declaration of a Local Emergency due to wildfire conditions.

Appointment
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: James Harvey has served for the past 6 years as a Public Member on the Lake County Air Quality Management District Hearing Board. He is one of two Public Members on the legally required Hearing Board, which must also have a lawyer, doctor and engineer. Mr. Harvey has an interest in air quality and preserving it and has agreed to continue to serve on the Hearing Board and we are appreciative.
The Hearing Board has not met frequently in the past 3 years; previously the Hearing Board has met up to 8 times a year. The hearing process is both legalistic and technical in nature. Continuing Hearing Board members, as has been the case for the present Hearing Board, has helped greatly in making the process work smoothly and in the publics interest. Because of infrequent meetings, the advantages of having experienced Hearing Board members, and the fact that Mr. Harvey has indicated his willingness to continue, we ask that you reappoint him.
Staff believes the LCAQMD is fortunate to have Members with such strong credentials, history, and unique understanding of our community and environmental matters and are willing to continue to serve on the Hearing Board.
