Although the application states that this is a one-time grant, Cal OES expects this grant to be funded and extended for an additional two years. If awarded, this grant will fund a full-time permanent Victim Advocate, part of the Victim Witness Program Administrator, and other operating expenses used to achieve the Grant Project goals. FISCAL IMPACT: __ None _X_Budgeted __Non-Budgeted Estimated Cost: Amount Budgeted: Additional Requested: Annual Cost (if planned for future years): FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): Although the Grant would fund a full-time Victim Advocate and part of the Victim Witness Program Administrator, an additional full-time Victim Advocate would have to be hired. The current full-time Victim Advocates are already funded either 100% or partially by the Victim Witness Assistance Grant. STAFFING IMPACT (if applicable): If awarded, the additional full-time Victim Advocate would be filling the vacant Victim Advocate position. ..Recommended Action RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt the Resolution Authorizing the Grant Project - County Victim Services Program and Authorize the Chair to Sign the Certification of Assurance of Compliance for a Grant Application in the amount of $197,121 for a two year period retroactive to July 1, 2016.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Scott DeLeon, Interim Community Development Director Prepared by: Michalyn DelValle, Senior Planner DATE: May 24, 2016 SUBJECT: Appeal of Planning Commission Denial of Major Use Permit (UP 15-09) for Dollar General Store, Middletown; AB 16-02 APN 024-501-18 Supervisor District 1 EXHIBITS: A. Appeal Form B. Draft Planning Commission Minutes dated April 28, 2016 C. Planning Commission Staff Report Dated April 18, 2016 I. BACKGROUND The applicant is appealing the Planning Commission's April 28, 2016 unanimous decision to deny Major Use Permit (UP 15-09) to allow construction of an approximately 9,100 square foot general retail store (Dollar General) at 20900 S. State Highway 29, Middletown. The store is proposed to be located across S. Highway 29 from the Middletown High School on a parcel zoned for retail uses (C1-DR-FF-FW-SC-WW). The timely appeal (BOS Exhibit A) was filed by Joe Dell, Cross Development who is in disagreement with the Planning Commissions comments and reasons for the Denial. The Planning Commission hearing was held on April 28th and lasted approximately 2 hours and 14 minutes. The hearing was well attended and seventeen citizens spoke against the project. A total of nineteen letters from the public were received against the project. A summary of the public's concerns (See EXHIBIT B) included: * The potential impacts that the approval of a Dollar General may have on local businesses; * The proposed design of the building was not in compliance with the Middletown Design Guidelines; * That the Dollar General store does not fit the character of the area; * That as a gateway community to the County for Napa Wine Valley visitors it is important to uphold the commercial main street character; * That the proposed commercial building would be backed up to homes that are now gone, and would further discourage owners from rebuilding; and, * That a strip commercial chain store was not in keeping with the Middletown Area Plans vision for the community of unique, local and "home-grown" businesses. II. APPEAL DISCUSSION The appeal form (BOS Exhibit A) submitted by the applicant disagrees with the comments made during the hearing and the decision to deny the Major Use Permit made by the Planning Commission. After more than 2 hours of public testimony, the Planning Commission denied the Major Use Permit expressing a variety of concerns: that the proposed store is too close to a school and kids do not have a safe way to cross Highway 29; the potential economic impacts that a discount general store may have on the local economy and businesses that are currently struggling to survive in the aftermath of the Valley Fire; and that as the first new commercial building to come forward after the adoption of the Area Plan it is important that they make sure to follow the plan policies and design guidelines. Concern was expressed over the message this type of new commercial development would be sending to other would be investors, especially during the recovery and rebuilding process that may be documented and reported for the nation to follow. Economic impacts of a project are not typically part of the environmental review for CEQA Initial Study (California Environmental Quality Act). However, it was mentioned during the hearing that several businesses may have already been affected economically by the recent Valley Fire, and Major Use findings address "the health, safety, morals, comfort and general welfare" of the neighboring community and the County of Lake as a whole. The applicant submitted a revision to the project after staff discussions concerning building elevations and bringing the building into conformance with the Middletown Area Plan. A third revision to the proposed building elevation was presented by the applicant during the Planning Commission hearing. Some members of the public agreed that the elevation presented at the public hearing was more in keeping with the Design Guidelines of Middletown. ..Recommended Action Sample Motions: Appeal Denial I move that the Board of Supervisors make an intended decision to deny Appeal AB 16-02 and uphold the Planning Commission's denial of Use Permit 15-08 and associated mitigated negative declaration, for Cross Development, on behalf of Dollar General. Appeal Approval I move that the Board of Supervisors make an intended decision to grant approval of Appeal AB 16-02, and overturn the Planning Commission's denial of Use Permit 15-08, and associated mitigated negative declaration, for Cross Development, on behalf of Dollar General, and further direct staff to work with Cross Development on building and site refinements to address community design concerns.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisor FROM: Supervisor Steele DATE: June 29, 2016 SUBJECT: Discussion and Consideration of (a) Separating the Public Works and Water Resources Departments; (b) Approve Revisions to the Water Resources Director classification and establish the minimum qualification criteria; and (c) Request an advertising process broader than normal because of the unique nature of the position and value to the County' economy. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: I request the Board take up the following items for discussion and consideration. This item was taken up before but respectfully temporarily withdrawn while department consolidation was being considered and until the budget was in place: (a) Director Position for the Departments of Water Resources and Public Works. The Water Resources Department has traditionally been a separate entity. The role of Director for Water Resources and Public Works was combined by past action of the Board. The time it takes to properly lead each separate-role department is called into question by the recent fire disaster and the recovery process and particularly because of the pressing problems and technical nature of natural lake management. Either department's actions can negatively affect property values, tourist visits and slow economic growth. In addition, the qualifications for working on and leading lake and watershed runoff issues calls for specialized technical background. Cost vs Lost Opportunity. The present situation may be costing the County grant dollars in addition to lost opportunity for incrementally improving the lake ecosystem. Recently the Board approved onetime support funding to provide a scientist at the Deputy Director level for DWR but the selection did not meet the technical background required for lake science evaluation and project development. Additional consideration is that the difference for funding at the DD vs. the full Director level is minimal compared to the additional value received by changing the present circumstances and a new recruiting effort made. The Department of Public Works requires the attention needed to rebuild infrastructure lost by the fires as well as new infrastructures needed to upgrade to modern standards. In addition are the road, bridge and other infrastructure maintenance and upgrade pressures for the rest of the County amid changing standards and economic growth. The Department of Water Resources is not only in charge of flood and water delivery structures as is traditional but natural systems such as wetland, emergent vegetation, stream and lake functions. The lake has a history of nutrient loading and internal loading including phosphorus, nitrogen and micronutrients. The result has been significant cyanobacteria bloom cycles and cyano-toxin byproducts that affect water supply and water contact recreation. The issues are technically complex, have led to TMDL sanctions by regulators (RWQCB) and require a specialized background to both understand and develop cost effective management programs that reassure residents and visiting public. If the lake becomes known for toxic shoreline waters for pets and water contact sports (such as recently in the Russian River) the economy can be even more severely affected. Without a carefully chosen and well supported Director, the Water Resources Department will flounder to understand the lake ecosystem and advise the Board. Clear Lake is the underpinning of the economy in many areas such as fishing, vacationing, second home and resort vacationers as well as birding and other forms of ecotourism. Continuing to develop those attributes will help make up for lost resort capacity due to the recent fires but also support recovery funding. Grant Driven Management: We are in a state level, competitive, grant driven management system. The County has received grants for the Middle Creek projects for land purchase. A basic ingredient for additional water supply and ecosystem grants are well-founded applications for project funding by technically knowledgeable staff with baseline data. I have visited the Director of Fish and Wildlife and the Secretary of the Natural Resources Agency to understand how to develop better grant funding options for Lake County. In these discussions it was clear that our few applications have not met the mark with technical understanding, water quality monitoring baseline data, benchmarks and project development that describes how the lake works and how the projects will lead to measurable solutions for the lake. One consideration is resolving where the problems for the lake arise. Is it past anthropomorphic changes, present land practices or natural systems (such as internal loading) that need better understanding? Off-road vehicle groups, farming segments, septic systems, lost habitats and bad roads are implicated. Solutions such as expensive wetland restoration in one stream system are seen as the end-all but this is not a guarantee and the metric elements for success are needed. No direct measurements have been made for the comparative inputs throughout the lake basin nor has an estimate of the lake's nutrient lock-up/loss rates developed, or the level of nutrient reduction needed from each sub-watershed. Several decades of scientific studies led to an adequate understanding of the lake processes as revealed in the 1994 Clean Lakes report. But since this report and the supporting scientific publications, this background has not been followed up with watershed monitoring and adaptive management programs that can be used to develop grant applications or advise the Board. The citizens of Lake County should have a Department technically capable of both sorting through and developing good data, developing benchmarks, work-plans and understanding of relevant problems and solutions. (b) Minimum Qualifications. Most lake managers are concerned about artificial lake levels because there are significantly more dam impoundments than natural lake systems in California. Clear Lake is unique as the largest, oldest, natural, warm-water ecosystem in California and not many managers with experience are available in the local recruitment pool. The background for natural lake and watershed ecosystems are embedded in the lake sciences such as Limnology and earth sciences such as fluvial geomorphology. To act at the Director level, additional background in management and administration are also needed. (c) Advertising. Because of the small pool of experienced and technically qualified managers for natural lake ecosystems a recruitment process that advertises our unique lake attributes in the North American Lake Managers Society, the California Lake Managers Society, the American Fisheries Society (AFS), the AFS Cal-Neva group and the Limnology Departments of major Universities (to reach lake manager qualified alumni) should be a minimum addition to the usual advertising methods. 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: I recommend that this Board direct staff to develop the necessary actions to separate the Public Works and Water Resources Departments approve revisions to the Water Resources Director classification establishing the special minimum qualification criteria and the protocol needed for broad advertising in the desired field. The Board should adopt this allocation and position establishment in Final Budget Hearings. The recruitment and hire of a new Director should be initiated as soon as possible, and accomplished prior to the Department split as described.

..Title ..Body MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: Carol J. Huchingson. County Administrative Officer DATE: July 8, 2016 SUBJECT: Consideration of Amendment to the Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement with Veterans Housing Development Corporation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In July of 2015, at the initiation of Supervisor Farrington, your Board approved an agreement with Veterans Housing Development Corporation (VHDC) for the purpose of evaluating the viability of a permanent supportive housing development for very low income veterans and their families on County-owned property in the City of Clearlake located adjacent to Redbud Hospital. To that end, the agreement provides VHDC with the opportunity to conduct pre-development activities to determine: � The projected number of veterans in Lake County that are in need of permanent supportive housing. � The scope of the project, the cost to construct and whether it is likely to be financially self-supporting. � The availability of funding for the project. � The planning requirements such as acquisition of entitlements, permits, zoning, and necessary public infrastructure. Depending on the above findings, VHDC will then determine whether to conduct an environment site assessment and develop preliminary site plans. PROJECT STATUS: The agreement provided a one-year time period to determine if sufficient progress was being made in completing these tasks. Because this is an exclusive agreement precluding the County from entering into negotiations with any others regarding the disposition or development of the site, it is especially important to monitor progress. To that end, staff has met twice with VHDC representatives during the preceding 12 months during which the developer has identified several potential funding sources, including the State Veterans Housing and Homelessness (VHHP) Prevention bond act, tax credits, and the new "No Place Like Home" funding opportunity provided for in the 2016/17 state budget. The developer is also working with the VA and local veterans' organizations to document sufficient demand for the housing to meet VHHP criteria. The City of Clearlake has also secured the funding necessary to complete the extension of Dam Road that will bisect the property. Staff believes that sufficient progress has been made to warrant an 18-month extension of the agreement to allow VHDC to continue its pre-development evaluation. 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: In light of the foregoing, staff recommends that the Term of the agreement be extended 18 months pursuant to the attached contract amendment.

After further review by the contractor, he declined the contract due to a conflict of interest. County Staff contacted the next bidder: Coleman Environmental Engineering Inc. whose original bid was $17,320.00. Staff was able to negotiate the price to $15,000.00. The property consists of an unpermitted, substandard structure. A Nuisance Abatement Hearing was conducted on March 22, 2016 with your Board directing the property owner: Benjamin Hittle to provide building drawings, pay fines and obtain permits within 30 days (April 22, 2016). On April 25, 2016 Mr. Hittle came into the office and paid the fines of $3,138.80 that were due and informed Staff that the plans would be submitted by the end of week (April 29, 2016). On May 13, 2016 no plans had been submitted or permit applied for. Staff requested bids from several local contractors for abatement of the property. On June 22, 2016 staff reevaluated the bid and propose award to the next apparent low bidder: Coleman Environmental Engineering Inc. ..Recommended Action Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the attached Agreement between the County of Lake and Coleman Environmental Engineering Inc RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the Board of Supervisors approve the Agreement for abatement services with Coleman Environmental Engineering Inc. for abatement of nuisance conditions located at 10715 Gifford Springs Road, Cobb CA, in the amount of $15,000.00 and authorize the Chair to execute said agreement. :
