5.1Approve Continuation of Proclamation of the Existence of a Local Emergency Due to Pervasive Tree Mortality.
Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection found that its aerial and group surveys in Napa and Lake County revealed widespread conifer mortality leaving trees vulnerable to insect attacks and fire damage. On March 28, 2022, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order No. 7-77, that states the ongoing drought will have significant immediate impacts on communities. In response, the Lake County Risk Reduction Authority created the Lake County Tree Mortality Task Force established to investigate and address the extensive tree mortality in the County caused primarily by wildfire, drought and insect damage.
The Lake County Tree Mortality Task Force members have attended several presentations from individuals with considerable expertise in both entomology and tree mortality, including Forest
Advisor Dr. Michael Jones, an entomologist from University of California Cooperative. The overriding message was that failure to actively address tree mortality could result in the potential loss or degradation of forest habitats and associated ecological impacts, including the impact of wildlife, water and soil. And as such, create dangerous wildfire conditions that also threaten the safety of persons and property and will likely extend beyond the capacity of public safety services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of this County.
This Resolution requests the following actions from Governor Newsom; 1) Proclaim a State of Emergency in Lake County and other afflicted areas of the State, 2) Seek designation of tree mortality areas within Lake County and other afflicted areas of the State under Section 8204 of the Agriculture Act of 2014 and seek additional Federal program support; and 3) Request a Presidential Declaration of Emergency or Major Disaster for this emergency.
Recommended Action
Approve Continuation of Proclamation of the Existence of a Local Emergency Due to Pervasive Tree Mortality

With the establishment of the LCTID and its own revenue stream, County staff are no longer engaged in tourism marketing directly and funds previously used for direct services are now provided to the LCTID for marketing and destination tourism activities, which promote the local economy.
Staff respectfully requests your approval of the attached Agreement which authorizes the County of Lake to provide funds for the purpose of marketing Lake County.

Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
On June 28, 2022, your Board appointed and ratified the Physician Consultation Services contract with Dr. Gary Pace to ensure that the ongoing public health mandates for services were able to be provided.
At the same time, we also pursued a contract for a Public Health Officer alternative who will perform the Public Health Officer duties when Dr. Pace is unable to perform those duties.
We did not receive the executed contract in time for the June 28, 2022 Board of Supervisors meeting. Therefore, I authorized this very temporary appointment and have now brought the contract to your Board to ratify.
Because of the urgency presented, the agreement should be considered for ratification by your Board as soon as practically possible.
Staff recommends appointing Charles E. Evans, M.D. as the Public Health Officer alternate and ratify the Physician Consultation Services contract with Dr. Charles Evans.
Recommended Action
Appoint Charles E. Evans, M.D. as the Public Health Officer alternate and ratify the Physician Consultation Services Contract.

Staff memo
Executive Summary
Lake County Behavioral Health Services is required to provide Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS) to children meeting criteria for the Wraparound Program, due to risk of being placed in out-of-home placement either with the Child Welfare System or the Juvenile Justice System, and children in the Foster Care System. These requirements are described here: https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/foster-care/pathways-to-well-being
LCBHS does not have the clinical capacity to provide these services, and determined the need to issue a Request for Proposals. This RFP was released on March 11th and closed April 8th. One Proposal was received, reflecting the contract now before the Board for approval today. LCBHS has partnered with RCS for many years to provide critical SMHS services to the community, with a particular focus on children and youth. This contract reflects an expansion of services provided by RCS, where LCBHS will now be referring youth meeting criteria for SMHS but not in the highest category of acuity to RCS. It is important to note that criteria for SMHS services has expanded fairly dramatically under CalAIM reform, and this contract is a response to meeting this expanded service need with an explicit focus on Clearlake and South County children.

Executive Summary
Lake County Behavioral Health Services has contracted with Davis Guest Home for the placement of individuals on conservatorship and/or who meet criteria for placement in a Mental Health Rehabilitation Center since 2012.

Despite a lack of proposal from Davis Guest Home, LCBHS continues to have a great need to maintain this placement setting for our beneficiaries. LCBHS has placed four (4) clients in Davis Guest Home since July 1, 2021.

Staff memo
Executive Summary
Lake County Behavioral Health Services entered into an Agreement with New Life Health Authority, LLC for Substance Use Disorder Treatment Services and Narcotic Treatment Program (NTP) Services on August 10, 2021. Lake County Behavioral Health Services is the first non-ODS, Drug Medi-Cal County to contract with a Tribal 638 Clinic in California. It is important to note that NTP services are an entitlement to Medi-Cal beneficiaries under the State Drug Medi-Cal Plan. Depending on the beneficiary's type of Medi-Cal, these services are almost 100% reimbursable by the State, where LCBHS is the fiscal pass-through.
Utilization for this service exceeded our expectations, which is good news for our community. This means the service was truly needed and is filling a treatment/service gap. As such, LCBHS needs to increase the contract.

Executive Summary
Lake County Behavioral Health Services issued a Request for Proposals for Adult Residential Support services on March 3 which closed March 31. We did receive one proposal, though have a need for many other levels of service and placements, primarily for people on conservatorship. Clover Valley Guest Home is one of two in-County Board and Care facilities. LCBHS has a contract with the other facility, Manzanita House, executed by the Board on June 28th. Board and Care facilities represent a step right above independent community living and are a critical part of the care continuum for one of our most vulnerable populations.

Staff memo
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

5.24Approve 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.

Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
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.

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.

In April, your Board considered the distribution of funds received from PG&E as part of a settlement following the Sulphur Fire in 2017. During this discussion, your Board approved the allocation of one million dollars from the settlement funds to be used on a pavement rehabilitation project for roads that were impacted by the fire.

Exhibit A - Map
Facts:
On May 17, 2022, a complaint was received alleging a new and second structure is going to be built on the subject property. The complaint further stated the structure will block property owners' view of the lake and quite possibly lower their property value. It should be noted that already existing on the property was an accessory structure commonly known as a pergola.
On May 20, 2022, Code Enforcement was allowed access onto the subject property. Observed on the property were materials (wood posts) typically used for the construction of a structure.
Exhibit B - Photos from May 20, 2022
On May 23, 2022, I received information a new structure, commonly known as a pergola had been erected or constructed on the subject property. The structure measures approximately 11ft X 8ft X 8 1/2 ft (approximately 88 sq ft).
On June 1, 2022, A NONOTA was issued against the subject property. The NONOTA cited the following violation(s) of the Lake County Code:
* LCC Chapter 21, Article 10 - Violation of the Zoning Designation
* LCC Chapter 21, Article 48 - Failure to obtain Zoning Clearance
*It should be noted that Pursuant to LCC Chapter 21, Article 61, Section 61.4 (b) - Any building or structure erected, constructed, altered, enlarged, converted, moved or maintained contrary to the provisions of Chapter 21 and any use of land or buildings operated or maintained contrary to the provisions of Chapter 21 are declared to be public nuisances.
Exhibit - C - Photos of the new structure
On June 6, 2022, a written request was received for a nuisance abatement hearing along with accompanying documents.
Exhibit D - Nuisance Abatement Hearing Request
*Additional Note/Background: In 2021, prior to the current action taken against the property, Code Enforcement investigated a complaint made against the property regarding an existing structure that had been erected in violation of the conditions included the property owners grant deed for the subject property. This structure is not the subject of the current 2022 Code Enforcement action taken against the property. It was decided at that time by prior Code Enforcement management that if the structure could be physically moved it would be considered temporary that would be sufficient for compliance. Code Enforcement was informed the structure was constructed with bolts that could be screwed into an existing foundation and that the structure could be moved by unscrewing the bolts and then physically moved. The prior case was closed with no action taken. Per statement made to Code Enforcement, this prior existing structure has never been moved and has been situated in its current location for more than a year.
Recommended Action
Code Enforcement recommends the Board of Supervisors to deny the hearing request of Zeb Herinckx and to uphold the 2022 NONOTA / Code Enforcement action and direct staff to move forward with the abatement process for the structure.
On motion of Supervisor Simon, and by vote of the Board, Continued the hearing to the August 16, 2022 Board of Supervisors meeting at 9:30 A.M. The motion carried by the following vote:

7.5(a) Discussion of Next Steps to Fill the Role of District 4 Supervisor, to be Vacated by Tina Scott July 31, 2022; (b) Consideration of a Resolution Setting an Election for District 4 Supervisor as Part of the November 8, 2022 Statewide General Election
Action Item
Staff memo
Executive Summary
As your Board is aware, on the morning of April 14, 2022, Lake County's District 4 Supervisor, Tina Scott, announced her intent to resign from her office, effective July 31, 2022.
California Government Code Section 25060 directs, "Whenever a vacancy occurs in a board of supervisors, the Governor shall fill the vacancy. The appointee shall hold office until the election and qualification of his or her successor." Pursuant to Government Code section 1770, this vacancy will legally occur July 31, the effective date of Supervisor Scott's resignation.
California Government Code Section 25061 continues, "The election of a supervisor to fill the vacancy for the unexpired term shall be held at the next general election, unless the term expires on the first Monday after January 1st succeeding the election."
Because the period during which a candidate can provide appropriate documentation to appear on the June Primary Election ballot had elapsed prior to Supervisor Scott's announcement (Elections Code Section 8020), a nomination process for a special election to fill a vacancy, as described in the Elections Code will be employed.
Further, while Lake County's Supervisorial Districts were redrawn in December 2021, since Supervisor Scott was elected when previous boundaries were in use, eligibility to vote for District 4 Supervisor in November will be based on those old boundaries (Elections Code Section 21506).
Registrar of Voters, Maria Valadez, and County Counsel, Anita Grant, have conducted considerable research on next steps related to Lake County's upcoming Supervisorial vacancy, and will be present to answer any technical questions you may have regarding this election process.
Recommended Action
(a) Consideration of action to set a special election to fill a vacancy;
(b) Adopt the Resolution setting an Election for District 4 Supervisor as part of the November 8, 2022 Statewide General Election.
Discussion Only. No action taken.
Clerk’s notes: County Counsel Anita Grant presented the item to the Board. Registrar of Voters Maria Valdez spoke.

7.7Consideration of Amendment One to the Agreement between the County of Lake and SCS Engineers for Engineering Design Services for the Eastlake Landfill Expansion Project
Action Item
Motion carried
Carried 4-0 — moved by Sabatier
Crandell: aye Pyska: aye Sabatier: aye Scott: absent Simon: aye
Crandell: aye Pyska: aye Sabatier: aye Scott: absent Simon: aye
Staff memo
Executive Summary
In November 2021 the Board of Supervisors approved an agreement with SCS Engineers to complete engineering design services for phase one of the proposed Eastlake Sanitary Landfill expansion project. SCS Engineers was previously selected by a County consultant selection board as the most qualified firm to provide professional landfill expansion services. The scope of work of the current agreement includes preparation of facility permits, construction design documents, a construction quality assurance plan, and bid support tasks.
Staff has now identified two tasks necessary for project completion that were not included in the current agreement scope of work for SCS. First, the proposed location of the haul road requires a retaining wall design in order to ensure the road can be built in an appropriate location while maintaining required regulatory setback distances from the creek located to the east. Second, staff requested SCS prepare the project supplementary conditions, a.k.a. "Division One" specifications; currently only the preparation of project technical conditions, a.k.a. "Division Two" specifications, are in SCS' original scope of work. To accomplish these two tasks, staff requested a proposal from SCS, which serves as the basis for this proposed amendment.
Recommended Action
Approve Amendment One to the Agreement between the County of Lake and SCS Engineers for Engineering Design Services for the Eastlake Landfill Expansion Project, and authorize the Chair to sign.
On motion of Supervisor Sabatier approved Amendment One to the Agreement between the County of Lake and SCS Engineers for Engineering Design Services for the Eastlake Landfill Expansion Project. The motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes- Supervisors: 4 - Simon, Sabatier, Pyska, and Crandell
Absent: Supervisor: 1 - Scott
