Clear Lake Environment Research Center (CLERC) has requested letters of support for two (2) applications for funding through CAL FIRE's Forest Health Grant Program. If awarded, this funding will help post-fire restoration treatments needed in response to the 288,000 acres burned during the 2018 Ranch Fire. These treatments will help reduce the risk of future wildfires and improved forest resiliency.

(a) Approve Letter of Support for the North Shore Restoration Project Number 22-FH-LNU-46336202 and Authorize Chair to Sign and (b) Approve Letter of Support for the North Shore Restoration Project Number 22-FH-LNU-46336098 and Authorize Chair to Sign

To meet statewide Preferred System Plan Energy Portfolio goals, an estimated 1,200 MW of new geothermal resources must be developed by 2030, and 2,300 MW by 2045. This is in addition to maintaining 1,600 MW of current production. To lend some context, at its peak, The Geysers facility produced around 1,500 MW. Lake County has a 60-year history of geothermal production, and valued long-term partners in this space, most notably Calpine. On January 25, 2022, your Board was invited to join a Geothermal Opportunity Zone (GeoZone) effort led by Sonoma Clean Power (SCP), which is seeking to bring an organized exploratory approach to new geothermal technologies that could support statewide geothermal production needs while limiting water usage and seismic impacts, for example: https://sonomacleanpower.org/geozone While your Board ultimately elected not to move forward with joining the GeoZone in early 2022, SCP and Sonoma and Mendocino Counties have continued this effort, and reached a point where they are seeking grant funding. Lake County maintains very positive relationship with SCP; they are a truly valued partner. Pursuant to Ordinance No. 3026, Adopted in 2015, and your Board's Direction, most recently April 28, 2020, Lake County expects to continue to periodically evaluate the potential for Community Choice Aggregation to bring energy savings for Lake County residents: https://library.municode.com/ca/lake_county/ordinances/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=760261 Sonoma Clean Power conducted our most recent feasibility study in 2019, at no cost to the County (https://countyoflake.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=8266382&GUID=D69A2F9D-36E0-480F-9E62-5D65B312AD2E). In 2020, SCP's Board determined providing service at rates competitive with PG&E was not possible, but they committed to assisting Lake County (PDF page 1 at the link in the above paragraph), and SCP staff have valuably contributed to County energy priorities in the time since, including the Trane-led N. Lakeport FLASHES Projects. Staff recommends your Board Approve this Letter of Support, which seeks to enable funding for a geothermal demonstration project led by CYRQ that is expected to be sited on a Calpine property located in Sonoma County. If funded, this project carries the potential to bring skilled construction jobs and other economic activity to our region, in addition to furthering statewide energy goals. Attachments to this Memo include the Letter of Support and a Project Summary.

Approve the Letter of Support for Department of Energy Funding for CYRQ Energy's Geothermal Demonstration Project on Behalf of the Multi-Jurisdictional Geothermal Opportunity Zone (GeoZone)

As your Board is aware, the County received a grant through CalFire and the California Fire Safe Council for the Soda Bay Corridor Evacuation Route Planning and Development Project. One of the project components is the hiring of a consultant to develop a wildfire evacuation route plan, which would include evacuation route planning, implementation, public education, signage, and related activities. Today's item is for your Board's consideration and approval of a contract with the selected consultant for the Evacuation Plan (Plan). In October 2022, staff prepared a Request for Proposals for the development of an Evacuation Plan for the Soda Bay Corridor. Proposals were received from Headway Transportation LLC and The Resiliency Initiative. A Consultant Selection Board (CSB) was convened in accordance with "Section Four - Consultant Selection" of the County of Lake Policies and Procedures Manual. The CSB was comprised of the Public Works Director, the County Emergency Services Director, a member of the Administration Office, representatives of the Konocti FireSafe Council, and a staff member of the Engineering and Inspection Division of Public Works. After review of the proposals, the CSB scoring determined Headway Transportation Consultants was the most qualified consultant. Their proposed cost of $84,620 is within the project budget

Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors Approve a Professional Services Agreement between the County of Lake and Headway Transportation LLC for consulting services to prepare the Soda Bay Corridor Evacuation Plan and authorize the Chair to sign the Agreement.

On June 7, 2022, the Sheriff's Office sent out a Request for Proposal to five different safety check technology groups. There were just two respondents, Guard 1 and Guardian RFID. A Consultant Selection Board, consisting of Deputy Probation Officer Agustin Perez. Information Systems Analyst Angel Perez, Jail Lt. Jason Findley and Retired Correctional Officer Terry Norton met and reviewed the proposals. After the initial discussion, it was determined to interview both of the respondents. Both systems are similar in nature. Guardian RFID system is computer based software used in conjunction with mobile handheld devices dedicated to the management of inmates. The system will aid deputies in making randomized safety checks of inmates while providing them with the ability to document on the go with voice to text reporting, photos and videos. Additional features allow supervisors to easily monitor compliance of department expectations and state regulations. The Sheriff's Office is looking to lean into the use of this technology to streamline the functions of staff working inside of the jail, while improving compliance with state regulations. Guardian RFID has a more robust and user friendly Data Analytics software program. These user friendly features will save staff time as they have to audit and search the system daily for compliance. The analytic data is a required feature as the jail is regularly audited by the Board of State and Community Corrections for compliance with state regulations. The Consultant Selection Board is recommending Guardian RFID be awarded the contract. Funding in the amount of $40,000 is currently budgeted in the Sheriff/Jail budget 2301/62.74. Additional funds are being requested during the mid-year budget update to complete this purchase.

Approve contract with Guardian RFID for a Safety Check program in the amount of $40,485 and authorize the Chair sign the contract.

The Classification, Compensation, Recruitment, and Retention Committee (CCRR) has completed the review of reclassification and salary adjustment requests that were submitted for FY 2022/2023 reclassification cycle. The Committee met, reviewed and discussed the requests, and made Committee recommendations. In total, 6 Departments submitted requests for review summarized below: 1. Animal Care and Control Animal Care and Control did not have any benched positions in the 2018/2019 Class and Comp Study so Animal Control salary was based on previous affiliations. Due to the difficultly hiring HR did a Bench for Animal Control Officer II using 2019 data. The department request is using current data. However, to be consistent HR recommends using 2019 bench data to set new salary. Veterinarian Lake County Animal Care and Control is required by law to provide care and treatment to all sick and injured stray animals. Having a veterinarian on staff will allow highly requested public services to resume and help with the overpopulation of both dogs and cats. The veterinarian position also allows the department to provide high levels of medical care to all animals within its care and saves money by treating animals at a steeply reduced rate. The veterinarian can also provide specifically needed training the department requires in-house. The Veterinarian position also provides specific permits that is required to operate our shelter. This includes a premise permit. Managing a shelter properly also requires specifics tasks, like vaccinating on intake. This position, or a 3rd party veterinarian willing to lend their license, is required to operate in a safe manner. Without this position, Animal Care and Control will be forced to send ALL sick/injured animals to vet offices for care which will cost much more than keeping the animals in our care and providing treatment. HR could not get a bench using 2018/2019 Class and Comp methodology because the 12 comparison counties do not have veterinarians. CCRR Recommendation: The Committee recommends approving this request using 2019 bench salary data. All positions should be adjusted up by 4 grades and the Veterinarian adjusted 14 grades.

Meet and Confer not required. 2. Behavioral Health Currently, BH has the position of Peer Support Specialist, which is a lead position. We also have the job classification of Client Support Assistant which is made up of two distinct job duties: transportation drivers and peer support workers. Employees are hired into either one or the other job duties, so it makes it difficult to fly for the position and distinguish what the need is. CSA for peer support have always been an entry level job where employees can get experience and move up the job ladder. California Senate Bill 803 in 2020, peer support certification standards we're implemented, setting the standard for peer support to become certified and be able to bill Medi-Cal for the peer support services provided. Summary of Changes: 1. Change Mental Health Cultural Specialist - Native American to Peer Support Specialist, Senior - Native American with certification within 1 years of hire. 2. Change Mental Health Cultural Specialist - Latino title Change to Peer Support Specialist Senior - LatinX with certification within 1 years of hire. 3.

Peer support certification standards will enable BH to bill Medi-Cal for the peer support services provided in Peer Support Centers. Cost Information: No increase to allocated positions. Any increase due to reorganization of Peer Support positions would be covered by salary saving in 2022-2023. Meet and Confer is required. 3. Public Services Department Project and Parks Superintendent Currently the Project and Parks Superintendent is a dual-role management position. One role is Parks Superintendent, with responsibility for operations and maintenance of approximately two dozen county parks and a dozen parks maintenance staff. The other role is construction project management for all contracted projects managed by the Public Services Department, which includes multiple infrastructure categories to include county buildings, grounds, landfill, and parks construction projects. The workload for both roles has expanded to the point that it is now necessary to split the roles into two separate positions. Therefore PS is requesting that the Project and Parks Superintendent be reclassified back to its' former title and role of Parks Superintendent. The Parks will manage parks projects and managing the Parks Area Supervisors. If the Parks Superintendent is set at a pay grade of M36, equivalent to the Facilities Maintenance Superintendent.

Social Services Add Accountant, Senior We are proposing the creation of a new job classification, Accountant Senior (Salary Grade G31). This would be the advanced-level class in the Accountant Series which currently has a flex class Accountant I/II (G23/G27) as the entry/journey levels respectively. Department Proposed Salary: G31 $28.65 - $34.83 CCRR Recommendation: The Committee recommends denying this request, as this request is based on giving a specific person a raise not the need to add a Senior Accountant position. Section 8 Family Self-Sufficiency Case Manager Reclass the currently vacant Section 8 Family Self-Sufficiency Case Manager position to Housing Specialist position and increase grade from G16 to G22. The Housing Eligibility Specialist position has a more appropriate education requirement and description of the job tasks required. In addition, the HUD program that necessitated the creation of the Section 8 Family Self-Sufficiency Case Manager position is ending making the position obsolete. This position has been difficult to fill with current education requirements and low pay. By updating the Housing Specialist classification and changing the Section 8 Family Self-Sufficiency Case Manager position, we are hoping to improve our recruitment efforts and retain staff currently working in the position. Additionally, this alignment with the Eligibility Specialist career path will add an additional/alternate career path for our Eligibility staff and may help with the retention of current staff within the entirety of Social Services. CCRR Recommendation: The Committee recommends approving this requests. Current Title: Section 8 Family Self Sufficiency Case Manager Reclass to Housing Specialist and The proposed job description is also being updated to align with the actual tasks currently being performed by employees in this position at Housing. These positions require independent work and a high level of responsibility similar to that of the existing Eligibility Specialist III job description. Many of the tasks are the same for both positions so it makes sense that the salary should also be the same. Housing Eligibility Specialists maintain large caseloads, must complete detailed case narratives in the Housing software, and they also make regular visits to client homes. This is not a new classification, but an update to the current classification to more closely match the position's duties and responsibilities. The existing DSS position description for Eligibility Specialist III is very similar to the actual duties performed by the Housing Eligibility Specialist position and the salary range is more suitable for the level of responsibility and independent work that is required.

Treasurer -Tax Collector The Treasurer -Tax Collector currently has 4 Accounting Technician positions, 3 of which are vacant. They are not currently listed as flex positions, meaning that existing staff typically has no ability to promote past Accounting Technician without going to another department that offers Accounting Technician -Senior, Accounting Technician -Auditor, or Accounting Technician Confidential. Tax staff work with material where confidentiality must be maintained due to state laws or banking practices, but they do not receive any increased pay for that whereas Accounting Technician -Confidential series positions do. Our staff has to perform comparable duties to the staff in the Auditor Controllers office, but they do not receive the additional compensation that an Accounting Technician in the Auditor-Controller's office would. This has created an untenable position for recruitment and retention in the office, as existing staff or applicants can go to another department with potentially less strenuous job duties or responsibilities and have a path to become an Accounting Technician -Senior, or they have the ability to go obtain higher pay and a path to a senior position with similar duties in the confidential or Auditor series. Especially considering the T-TC staff has to engage in enforcement activity, which adds a stress level due confrontational behavior that often accompanies these actions, it is yet another disparity between Accounting Technicians in T-TC versus other departments. These structural imbalances have incentivized turnover in the Treasurer- Tax Collector's office and contributed to recruitment difficulties.
