5.8Approve Continuation of Resolution Authorizing Teleconferenced Meetings during a State of Emergency Continue to Exist Action Item passed on consent
Staff memo

Date: June 14, 2022 · From: Anita L. Grant

Executive Summary

Assembly Bill 361 was enacted on September 16, 2021. Assembly Bill 361 authorizes the County to use teleconferencing for public meetings without following certain requirements of the Brown Act. Assembly Bill 361 essentially continues, with some limitations, the ability of local governments to meet virtually during a state- proclaimed State of Emergency as local governments have been authorized to do pursuant to Executive Orders of the Governor. On September 28, 2021, your Board adopted the attached Resolution whereby you made findings authorizing teleconferenced meetings to continue. Every 30 days during the proclaimed State of Emergency and/or the period during which state or local officials have imposed or recommended social distancing measures, the legislative body acting under the teleconference exemptions must make findings as to whether the circumstances explained above still apply. The legislative body must find that it reconsidered the circumstances of the State of Emergency and that one of the following circumstances exist: - The emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members to safety meet in person; OR - State or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to propose social distancing." (Gov. Code sec. 54953(e)(3).) Your Board may make those findings by motion and continue to allow teleconferenced meetings pursuant to AB 361 and the Resolution previously adopted. If your Board cannot make these findings by majority vote, then it will no longer be exempt from the physical public access, quorum, and public comment opportunity rules applied to teleconferenced meetings under subsection 54953(b)(3).

Recommended Action

Approve Continuation of Resolution Authorizing Teleconfered Meetings during a State of Emergency Continue to Exist

5.9Approve Continuation of a Local Health Emergency by the Lake County Health Officer for the Cache Fire Action Item passed on consent
Staff memo

Executive Summary

California Health and Safety Code section 101040 authorizes the local health officer to take any preventive measures that may be necessary to protect and preserve public health from any public hazard during an emergency. The Health Officer of Lake County finds that the Cache Fire that started in the City of Clearlake on August 18, 2021 meets the criteria for a Public Health Proclamation. The fire has created an imminent threat to public health in the form of contaminated debris from hazardous waste and materials and structural debris resulting from the destruction of structures and vehicles, especially given the proximity to Cache Creek and the high risk of contamination of waterways that feed Clear Lake and area drinking water supplies. The hazardous waste debris poses a substantial present or potential hazard to human health and the environment unless its removal and disposal is performed in a manner that will protect the public health and safety. ?

5.10Approve Continuation of a Local Health Emergency Related to the 2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19) as Proclaimed by the Lake County Public Health Officer Action Item passed on consent
Staff memo

Date: June 14, 2022 · From: Updated by Susan Parker, County Administrative Officer

Executive Summary

(include fiscal and staffing impact narrative): The declaration was declared on March 9, 2020, by then Public Health Officer Gary Pace, due to the introduction of COVID-19 into the County of Lake. California Health and Safety Code Section 101080 provides authority for the Health Officer to issue a declaration of local health emergency. The authority to discontinue the local health emergency rests with your Board. As your Board is aware, the local health emergencies for all of the wildfire disasters since 2015 have continued well beyond the threat of the immediate disaster. The emergencies are continued during the months following to enable the County's claiming of disaster costs to FEMA and to CalOES, as applicable. County Disaster Finance staff have not been able to get a definitive answer from FEMA regarding the impacts of discontinuing the local health emergency and recommends that as long as we continue to incur and claim costs relating to COVID, that the local health emergency remain active. There are no COVID-related local restrictions associated with the local health emergency, so while the declaration can remain in place to ensure recovery of associated costs, there is no impact on the public by having it continue. Finally, in checking with other counties regarding their comparable declarations, the vast majority responding indicated they are continuing their local health emergencies for the reasons described herein and in fact, many have tied their local health emergencies to the State of California, meaning that when the State terminates its local health emergency, the counties will follow suit.

Recommended Action

Approve Continuation of a Local Health Emergency Related to the 2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19) as Proclaimed by the Lake County Public Health Officer.

Staff memo

Date: June 14, 2022 · From: Brian L. Martin, Sheriff/Coroner/OES Director

Executive Summary

Pursuant to Chapter 6, Article 1 of the Lake County Code empowers the Director of Emergency Services to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a local emergency when Lake County is affected by, or likely to be affected by a public calamity and the Board of Supervisors is not in session. During the existence of this local emergency, the powers, functions and duties of the Director of Emergency Services and the emergency organization of the County shall be those prescribed by state law, and by ordinance and resolutions of this County, approved by the Board of Supervisors, and by the Lake Operational Area Emergency Operations Plan, as approved by the Board of Supervisors. On April 21, 2021, the Governor of the State of California proclaimed a State of Emergency for the Counties of Sonoma and Mendocino due to extremely low reservoir levels and drought conditions. Inasmuch, Lake County water table levels are at significantly to critically low levels and are being continuously monitored. Based upon low water levels, the County may have to consider measures to address the water shortages. These measures may include taking steps to conserve water by practicing water conservation efforts, including, but not limited to repairing leaking plumbing, limiting non-essential watering, limiting car washing, filling bathtubs halfway or less, using high-efficient appliances, reducing shower times, only washing full loads of laundry, turning off water when brushing teeth or shaving, planting drought resistant landscaping and implementing other practices that reduce water consumption. Short or long-term solutions are costly; however, the County may be eligible for State or Federal assistance should the need arise to address drought issues if conditions persist. Therefore, the declaration of an emergency will allow the County to qualify for funding that has been specifically set aside for drought relief purposes. Programs within the State focus on ground water management, conservation and recapture/recycle initiatives. By declaring a local emergency, the County is taking a pro-active approach to address drought related disaster issues. In addition, with the adoption of a proclamation declaring a state of local emergency, State law requires the Board of Supervisors to review the status of the emergency at least once every 30 days.

Recommended Action

Approve the Continuation of a Proclamation of Emergency Declaration for Drought Conditions.

Staff memo

Date: June 14, 2022 · From: Crystal Markytan, Director, Social Services Director

Executive Summary

Lake County participates in the County Medical Services Program (CMSP), which was established in 1983 when California law eliminated low-income adults from Medi-Cal coverage, transferred responsibility for their healthcare to counties, and allowed smaller counties (counties with a population of less than 300,000 at the time) to participate in CMSP for the delivery of indigent health care services. CMSP has made many changes since 1983, including creation of the CMSP Governing Board in 1995; movement of most indigent adults from CMSP to Medi-Cal under the Affordable Care Act; changes to Realignment affecting CMSP program funding; and most recently, the addition of a new CMSP primary care benefit program for low-income adults in CMSP counties that are not enrolled in other health coverage called Connect to Care. This presentation is to update your county officials on Connect to Care and other CMSP programs available to your county residents.

a) Consideration of FY 2022-23 Recommended Budget b) Consideration of proposed Resolution Amending the Position Allocation Chart for FY 2022-23 to Conform to the Recommended Budget c) Consideration of Authorization for affected Department Heads to proceed with purchasing selected Capital Assets prior to the adoption of the FY 2022-23 Final Recommended Budget

Executive Summary

We are pleased to present for your Board's consideration the Recommended Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23. The Recommended Budget has been prepared in compliance with the County Budget Act, and must be Approved no later than June 30, and Adopted no later than October 2. As your Board is aware, Adoption of the budget will take place following the public hearings presently scheduled for September 21 and 22, 2022. Your Board may modify the Recommended Budget as you desire prior to Approval. By Approving the Recommended Budget, you authorize expenditure of funds for operational needs of County departments until your Final Recommended Budget is Adopted. Recommended appropriations for all funds total $337,455,551 (an increase of $18,069,436 from FY 2021-22). General Fund (GF) appropriations are $76,237,204 (down $6,974,644 from FY 2021-22). The guiding principles in preparing the Recommended Budget continue to be as follows: 1. Develop a responsible, sustainable budget that will enable the County to maintain its fiscal solvency for the short- and long-term. 2. Minimize and/or completely avoid negative impacts on service levels provided to the public; improve services when possible. 3. Preserve the County's General Reserves; increase reserve designations, where possible, to prepare for future budgetary needs. 4. Avoid utilization of a large number of layoffs, work furloughs or other forms of compensation reductions in order to balance the budget, as such measures negatively affect County employees and the local economy. Balancing the budget and these competing principles is always a very difficult task, and could not be accomplished without the extraordinary work and cooperation of County department heads, your Board and County Administrative Office staff. FISCAL IMPACT (Narrative): COUNTY BUDGET - OVERVIEW The FY 2022-23 Recommended Budget for all County funds totals $337,455,551 including: FY 2021-22 GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS FY 2022-23 $83,232,344 General Fund $76,237,204 $156,057,105 Special Revenue Funds $165,775,366 $8,709,308 Capital Project Funds $10,197,448 $0 Debt Service Funds $0 $247,998,757 Total Governmental Funds $252,210,018 OTHER FUNDS $10,382,785 Internal Service Funds $11,448,405 $5,257,864 Enterprise Funds $11,464,958 $55,746,709 Special Districts and Other Agencies $62,332,170 $71,387,358 Total Other Funds $85,245,533 $319,386,115 Grand Totals $337,455,551 This Recommended Budget represents an increase of $18,069,436, when compared to FY 2021-22 ($319,386,115). Year-over-year increases are attributable to additional appropriations to: Special Revenue Funds, like Roads ($3,191,548), Behavioral Health ($2,216,775), Social Services Administration ($4,844,373), Health Administration ($2,246,160); Enterprise Fund Integrated Waste Management ($6,207,094); Special Districts and Other Agencies, such as County Waterworks District #3 Kelseyville ($2,038,201), and CSA #21 North Lakeport Water ($1,737,088). I. GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATIONS Recommended FY 2022-23 Fund 001 General Fund appropriations total $76,237,204, a decrease of $6,974,644 (9.15%) from FY 2021-22 $83,232,344. Adopted Budget Fund 001 General Fund Appropriations FY 15/16 FY 16/17 FY 17/18 FY 18/19 FY 19/20 FY 20/21 FY 21/22 FY 22/23 $60,085,643 $55,165,108 $55,984,784 $56,552,081 $61,163,094 $63,578,629 $83,257,700 $76,237,204 The ($7,020,496) decrease is attributable to Fund 155 (Pension Stabilization Reserve, $3,000,000), Budget Unit 1120 ($12,506,226, due to a change in budgeting for ARPA funding), Budget Unit 7011 ($2,933,856), and an increase in payroll ($5,347,196). II. GENERAL FUND DISCRETIONARY REVENUE Property Tax. General Fund discretionary revenues are derived from a variety of sources. However, Property Taxes, by a great margin, constitute the largest source of discretionary funding. General Fund appropriations ebb and flow, in direct relationship to General Fund discretionary revenues available. As reflected in the following table, Property Tax revenues have steadily increased, over time: PROPERTY TAX REVENUE (General Fund) FY 15/16 FY 16/17 FY 17/18 FY 18/19 FY 19/20 FY 20/21 FY 21/22 A FY 22/23 B $24,361,322 $24,986,282 $24,151,826 $23,867,784 $24,880,731 $26,061,168 $26,662,190 $27,199,324 A=Anticipated, B=Budgeted *Reflects one-time property tax backfill payment from State Sales Tax. Bradley-Burns (1%) Sales Tax revenues received through May 2022 total $3,894,494 ($100,000 lower than FY 2020-21, with one month remaining to be received). Prop 172 Sales Tax revenues through May 2022 equal $4,410,082 (nearly $1,000,000 greater than FY 2020-21). Staff continue to watch these funding source; volatility from pandemic reverberations remains possible. Transient Occupancy Tax. Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues have totaled $753,806.01 through May 2022, slightly higher than the total received in FY 2020-21 ($720,169.62). Like Sales Tax, TOT requires continual monitoring for impacts to lodging operations. Cannabis Tax. Cannabis Cultivation and Business Tax revenues received through June 2, 2022, total $6,704,062.58, down $1,640,814.47 from May 2020-21. This is anticipated, as your Board elected to provide Cannabis Tax relief in an effort to stabilize our local industry, temporarily reducing the cultivation tax rate by 50%, and applying it to the canopy area only, as opposed to the total cultivation area. These reductions, coupled with remaining uncertainty surrounding which permitted cannabis businesses will operate this year, make projecting revenue difficult. III. CONTINGENCIES AND RESERVES: Contingencies: Appropriations included in Contingencies remain consistent at $4,548,360. These can be used for unanticipated needs, including but not limited to shortfalls in revenue. General Reserve: Following your Board's action in FY 2020-21 to increase the General Reserve by $3.5 million, it stands at $12.5 million. This balance is approximately 16.4% of total recommended General Fund appropriations. $12.5 million may seem considerable, but it is a best practice for Counties to maintain three months' revenue or appropriations in Reserves. The present balance would sustain County General Fund operations for two, possibly three months. IV. CAPITAL ASSETS Capital Improvements: The FY 2022-23 Recommended Budget includes funding for a number of capital projects, many of which are supported by grants or other special funding, including: Various deferred maintenance and roof replacements (BU 1778) $2,489,238 Logging recorder (BU 2202) $100,000 Repeater and radio equipment replacements (BU2704) $376,239 New Recording System (BU 2708) $250,000 Various roads and bridges (BU 3011) $7,746,523 Medical Vans (BU 4011) $495,877 Electronic Health Record Project (BU 4014) $427,971 Landfill expansion project (BU 4121) $6,000,000 Customized Sprinter vehicle to serve as Bookmobile (BU 6022) $196,659 Cobb Area Community Parks and Trails (BU 7011) $1,000,000 Clean CA Parks Beautification (BU 7011) $1,162,208 Grant to purchase remaining property in the reclamation area (Upper Lake) (BU 8109) $10,680,000 Middletown Sewer Treatment Plant Improvement Construction Project (BU 8353) $4,751,250 LACOSAN SE Infiltration & Inflow Reduction (BU 8354) $1,433,401 Septic Hauler Dump Station (BU 8355) $400,000 Bridge Construction Project- Upper Wolf Creek / North Fork (BU 8462) $380,000 SWRCB Grant - Water Treatment Plan Improvement Project (BU 8480) $5,000,000 Fixed Assets: Administration proposes funding a modest list of fixed assets (e.g. vehicles and other equipment). These are delineated in the attached Capital Asset list. The majority of these are expected to be supported by non-General Fund allocations. Early Authorization: County departments are not permitted to purchase new Capital Assets between July 1 and formal adoption of the budget (September 21-22, 2022) unless specifically authorized by motion of the Board of Supervisors. The attached Capital Asset list specifies whether the department is requesting authorization to purchase a specific Capital Asset prior to Adopted Budget. V. COUNTY WORKFORCE All Funds: This FY 2022-23 Recommended Budget provides for a total workforce of 1,053.60 Full-Time Equivalents (FTE's), a net increase of 15.65 FTE's compared to FY 2020-21's Adopted Budget allocation. The following positions are unfunded: * 1 Public Works Fiscal Coordinator I/II (BU 1903); * 1 Administrative Assistant (BU 1903); * 1 Assistant Engineer I/II/Senior/Associate Civil Engineer (BU 1908); * 1 Special Projects Engineer I/II (BU 1908); * 1 Survey Technician (BU 1908); * 1 Senior Planner (BU 2702); * 3 Planners (BU 2702); * 1 Deputy Assessor-Recorder I/II/Senior (BU 2707); * 2 Library Assistant/Library Tech (BU 6022); * 1 Branch Library Coordinator (BU 6022); and * 1 Heavy Equipment & Fleet Maintenance Lead Worker (BU 9911) General Fund: Positions funded by General Fund discretionary revenues total 426.75 FTE's, a net increase of 9.25 FTE's from Adopted FY 2020-21 Position Allocations.

An Ordinance Rescinding Lake County Ordinance No. 3094 d. An Ordinance Rescinding Lake County Ordinance No. 3095

Executive Summary

On July 21 and August 4, 2020, the Lake County Board of Supervisors approved a number of actions in regard to the Guenoc Valley Mixed Use Planned Development Project (the "Project"). The actions of the Board of Supervisors were challenged in Superior Court by separate petitions for peremptory writ of mandate, which actions were subsequently consolidated for certain purposes by the Court. In its Ruling and Order on Petitions for Writ of Mandate, the Superior Court expressly concluded that the County's findings regarding community emergency evacuation routes were not supported by substantial evidence and, for that reason, the Environmental Impact Report (the "EIR") did not comply with the California Environmental Quality Act. As a result of that limited ruling in favor of the petitioners, the Superior Court entered its Judgment and issued a Peremptory Writ of Mandate wherein the Court ordered the County to set aside and vacate its certification of the final EIR, findings relating to impacts to an adopted emergency evacuation plan, and other specified approvals of the Project. Presented for your Board's consideration are the following: a. A Resolution Vacating, Setting Aside, and Rescinding Land Use Approvals for the Guenoc Mixed Use Planned Development Project b. An Ordinance Rescinding Lake County Ordinance No. 3093 c. An Ordinance Rescinding Lake County Ordinance No. 3094 d. An Ordinance Rescinding Lake County Ordinance No. 3095

Recommended Action

Your Board may offer the Resolution for approval. As to each of the ordinances, the following actions will be necessary: 1. A motion to waive reading of the ordinance and have it read in title only; and 2. A motion to advance the ordinance to the next regular board meeting. Thank you.

7.6a) Consideration of Accela Agreement Extension and True Point Permitting Software; and b) Consideration of Road Map Task Force Data Tracker Software System Action Item
no itemized roll call in the official record
Staff memo

Date: June 14, 2022 · From: Mary Darby, Community Development Director Bruno Sabatier, District 2 Supervisor

Executive Summary

a) Lake County moved to an Accela Civic Platform for permit tracking in 2016. In 2016, Accela provided the Community Development Department (Department) with 10 user licenses. In 2021, the Department upgraded to 23 user licenses. Currently, the Department does not have a sufficient number of licenses to accommodate the number of users in the Department. Therefore, CDD is further requesting to update the number of user licenses from 23 to 42 (19 additional user licenses). This number of licenses will support the number of staff members in the Department. To purchase 42 user licenses from the Accela Civic Platform software would costs approximately $98,600.81 for a one year subscription. There are options to secure a 3- and a 5-year subscription as well. However, the Department would like additional time to explore the effectiveness, efficiency and economic stability of supporting a 3 to 5 year Accela Civic Platform Subscription. In addition, CDD is requesting the approval of $15,000 to compliment the Accela Civic Platform Subscription to retain the professional services of True Point. True Point would be tasked with upgrading some of the workflows in the Accela system. True Point charges a $150/hour to conduct professional services. An approval of True Point services would provide the Department with 100 hours of professional services to help upgrade the basic workflows in Accela. CDDs Business Software Analyst would be tasks with other services to help improve the Accela Platform. b) Further, CDD is requesting approval to utilize a Road Map Task Force Data Tracking System that has been specifically designed to support and compliment the Road Map Task Force Pilot Project. Supervisor Bruno Sabatier will provide a demonstration of this system for consideration.

Recommended Action

It is my recommendation that BOS approves the Accela Civic Platform Software, the True Point Accela Platform Services and the Road Map Task Force Data Tracker Software System
