Staff memo
Executive Summary
California State Association of Counties (CSAC) is asking all counties to immediately weigh in with their state legislative delegation on a problematic In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) proposal that was amended into a budget trailer bill yesterday. The human services trailer bill (AB 120/SB 120) contains a provision that would increase the existing IHSS collective bargaining penalty from a one-time seven percent of the county MOE amount to an ongoing ten percent of the county MOE amount.
Additional background information on the IHSS collective bargaining penalty is found below:
* Our county opposes the IHSS collective bargaining penalty included in the human services trailer bill (AB 120/SB 120) and asks for this language to be removed from the bill.
* This proposal was included with zero public input, no consultation with counties, and was not discussed at any budget hearings this year.
* Counties are making significant progress on collective bargaining and have made ongoing investments of hundreds of millions of dollars for permanent IHSS provider wage increases in the past several years.
* This proposal unfairly punishes all counties including those counties that are consistently increasing IHSS provider wage increases.
* The ongoing ten percent penalty amount will allow every county to be leveraged into a $1.00 wage increase.
* Many counties can't afford such an increase or can only do so by taking funding away from other safety net programs including social services, health, and behavioral health.
* If the state is interested in dictating the outcome of local bargaining, the state should assume responsibility for bargaining or provide funding for these mandated increases.
Background on IHSS Penalty
The current IHSS collective bargaining Realignment withholding was enacted in 2021 as a one-time seven percent penalty and is now proposed to be increased to an ongoing ten percent penalty with this new language. A county would be subject to the withholding only if all of the following four conditions are met: (1) A county and provider union have completed the full IHSS mediation and factfinding process; (2) the factfinding panel has issued recommended settlement terms that are more favorable to the union; (3) the county has an expired IHSS collective bargaining agreement; and (4) the county and union have not reached an agreement within 90 days after the release of the factfinding recommendations.
The existing withholding is equivalent to seven percent of a county's 2020-21 IHSS MOE amount. The withholding occurs through a one-time adjustment to the county's Social Services Realignment base and is distributed as one-time general growth to the other subaccounts. The Social Services Realignment base is then restored by the amount of the withholding in the next fiscal year. Under this new language, the withholding would be ten percent of a county's IHSS MOE amount for the prior year. The withholding will then occur every year until a collective bargaining agreement is reached.

5.3Adopt Resolution Establishing 2023-2024 Appropriations Limit for the County of Lake and Special Districts Governed by the Board of Supervisors
Resolution
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
As required by Government Code �7910 and in accordance with Article XIII B of the California State Constitution, I submit for your review and approval the annual calculation of the appropriations limit of County and Special Districts under your authority.
Additional background information provided:
In 1979 California voters approved Proposition 4, also known as the GANN initiative. Proposition 4 added Article XIIIB to the California State Constitution, which subsequently resulted in the addition of Division 9 (beginning with section 7900) to Title I of Government Code. This addition to government code requires that the governing body of a local jurisdiction establish a tax appropriation limit each year using established factors and criteria. Proposition 111 approved by voters in June 1990 amended Article XIIIB and expanded the factors and criteria for limit calculations.
The appropriation limit becomes the maximum for which a jurisdiction may spend based on the proceeds of tax that they receive in any given fiscal year. The County and the Special Districts under your Board authority have maintained compliance with annually established limit. The limit and the subject to limit calculations are performed by the Auditor-Controller's Office and are available for review at any time.
I respectfully request your review and approval of the Resolution Establishing 2023-2024 Appropriations Limits for the County of Lake and Special Districts Governed by the Board of Supervisors.

Executive Summary
This Agreement represents a culmination and continuation of work through Lake County Behavioral Health Services' Mental Health Services Act Innovation Plan. Lake County Behavioral Health Services has been working with Care Coordination Systems for the implementation of this County-wide community Hub referral and care coordination system since 2020. The reason for the delay of executing this contract was due to a reconciliation of services that ultimately led to a credit of funds towards the contract spanning through 2025. It should also be noted that this project is being led by Adventist Health, through a contract with the Department, and the work and associated continuing costs of implementation will be sustained through the provision of Enhanced Case Management, a Medi-Cal reimbursable service.

Although no monies were received or expended during the 2021/22 Fiscal Year, this annual report must still be electronically submitted to the Department of Justice showing zero dollar activity.

Memorandum
TO: The Honorable Jessica Pyska, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Lars Ewing, Public Services Director
DATE: June 27, 2023
SUBJECT: Approve the Facility Space License Agreement with Digital Path, Inc. for Continued Access to the County- owned Buckingham Peak Communications Site
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Since 2011, broadband provider Digital Path has licensed space on the County's communications suite located on Buckingham Peak of Mt. Konocti. Although that agreement expired in 2021, Digital Path has remained on the licensed space in accordance with the holdover provision of that agreement. Prior to expiration of that agreement, staff entered into negotiations with Digital Path which focused particularly on evaluating new antenna technology proposed by Digital Path as well as adddressing staff's concerns with potential interference issues. The attached agreement is a result of those negotiations and reflects the following modifications to the prior license agreement:
1. An initial term of five years with an option for one additional five year term; and
2. A continuation of a 4% annual cost-of-living adjustment which will now be subject to renegotiation if inflation exceeds 7.5% for a period of one-year.
3. Consolidation of Digital Path's antennas to a single elevation level (102.5') on the tower which in turn will free-up space on the tower for other tenants.
4. Modification of existing equipment modification and interference provisions which will result in greater accountability.
If not budgeted, fill in the blanks below only:

Executive Summary
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 removal of trees adjacent to the roadway that could potentially fall during a wildfire emergency and block the corridor. Today's item is for your Board's consideration and approval of a contract with the Clear Lake Environmental Research Center (CLERC) to coordinate the work required to remove the trees.
Staff is recommending that your Board contract directly with CLERC based on the finding allowed in the County Purchasing Code 2-38(3) that competitive bidding is not in the public interest because a competitive bid would produce no economic benefit. To support that recommendation, I offer the following:
* The consultant's hourly rates are commensurate with the industry standard for the types of labor classifications expected for this work. CLERC is a local company, so should another consultant with similar experience and expertise be located, it is very likely that their rates would be higher due to increased travel time and expenses. It can therefore be presumed that a competitive consultant selection process would likely result in a higher overall cost.
* CLERC has been involved with hazardous tree removal projects in Lake County for the past 2 years, and they have developed a robust team of contractors as well as an efficient operation for all phases of the project. Their ties to the communities included in the project, as well as their knowledge of local conditions and resources could not be matched by any out-of-the-area consulting firm, and there are no local firms performing similar services. A competitive consultant selection is likely to receive little to no interest from firms other than CLERC.
Recommended Action
(a) Waive the formal bidding process, pursuant to Lake County Code Section 38.3, as it is not in the public interest due to the determination that competitive bidding would produce no economic benefit, and (b) Approve the Agreement between the County of Lake and the Clear Lake Environmental Research Center (CLERC) for consulting services related to hazardous tree removal as part of the Soda Bay Corridor Evacuation Route Grant Project, and authorize the Chair to sign the Agreement
a) On motion of Supervisor Crandell, and by vote of the Board, Waived the formal bidding process, pursuant to Lake County Code Section 2-38.2 paragraph 3, as it is not in the public interest due to the determination that competitive bidding would produce no economic benefit. The motion carried by the following vote:

Executive Summary
The Lake County Sheriff's Office requests Your Boards' approval on the attached contract with Helico Sonoma helicopter services for Fiscal Year 2023/24. Helicopter services are utilized by the Sheriff's Department for marijuana reconnaissance and eradication on public and private lands. These services are essential to the effectiveness of the marijuana enforcement program. In past years, the California National Guard has provided these services without cost, but they are now largely unavailable due to reduced resources and other commitments. Due to fire suppression activity, it is unknown which vendors will be available during the various times of the year.
The Sheriff's Office contracted for these services with Helico Sonoma for fiscal year 22/23. There is no increase in costs for these services in the requested contract for 23/24.
The Sheriff's Office contacted Redding Air Services Helicopters out of Redding and Air Shasta. Both provide this type of service however they are contracted with PG&E/CalFire and will likely not be available to us on an "as needed" basis.

Executive Summary
The Sheriff's Department requests approval of the attached five late travel claims. These claims arose from a graveyard assignment in Roseville that required supervision of an inmate in a medical facility. Correctional Deputies Jacob Masdeo and Daniel Constancio were assigned shifts working from 1800-0600 and there was confusion as to which meals these employees were allowed to claim. With the assistance of the Auditor's office, a determination has been made, however due to the lateness of the claims, your Board's approval is now required. The claims total $450.00 and will be paid from the Sheriff/Jail budget 2301, object code 29.50.
Recommended Action
Approve late travel claims for Correctional Deputy Jacob Masdeo in the amounts of $58.00, $58.00, $58.00 and $24.00 and Daniel Constancio in the amounts of $126.00 and $126.00 and authorize the Auditor to issue payment

Staff memo
Executive Summary
Learning disabilities should not be a barrier to employment and self-sufficiency. The Lake County Department of Social Services (LCDSS) CalWORKs Welfare-to-Work (WTW) program supports this philosophy by offering learning disability testing, evaluations, and accommodations to WTW clients. It is a State mandate that LCDSS must provide testing and evaluations to any WTW client who requests such services. Brain Learning Psychological Corporation (Brain Learning) has experience providing these services to county welfare departments. In addition to the testing and evaluation services, Brain Learning will also be providing training for staff to increase knowledge and awareness of learning disabilities. A disproportionate percentage of the unemployed have learning disabilities compared to the general population and given awareness and accommodation, a client is more prepared and better able to reach their employment goals. Despite COVID-19 restrictions, Brain Learning was still able to complete ten evaluations in fiscal year 2021/2022. Brain Learning charges a rate of $1350 per virtual assessment and $1,500 per in person assessment.

Resolution
pulled on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The subject property is currently within the Lake County Sanitation Service area, however, it is served by a private septic system which is in need of major repairs.
Per Sec. 205 of the Lake County Code (Sewer Use Ordinance); "The owner of any building situated or constructed within the District and abutting on any street in which there is now located or may in the future be located a public sewer of the District; is hereby required at his or her expense to connect said building directly with the proper public sewer in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance, within ninety (90) days after the date of official notice to do so, provided that said public sewer is within two hundred (200) feet of the property line."
The owner of the property located at 9586 S State Highway has obtained four (4) quotes, which have been attached for your review, ranging in cost from $96,355 to $160,000 (all with many exclusions) creating a significant and unreasonable hardship to connect to the public sewer.
Per Sec. 204 of the Lake County Code (Sewer Use Ordinance); "The Board may, on its own motion, find that by reason of special circumstances any provision of this regulation and Ordinance should be suspended or modified as applied to a particular premise and may, by resolution, order such suspension or modification for such premises during the period of such special circumstances, or any part thereof."
Due to the hardship to connect the property to public sewer, the owner of the property would like the Board to approve an exception to Lake County Code Sec. 205, and waive the requirement to connect to public sewer and to go forward with repairing the existing septic system.
Recommended Action
(Sitting as Lake County Sanitation District, Board of Directors) Adopt Resolution approving an exception to Lake County Sewer Code Sec. 205, allowing APN 012-026-140, located at 9586 S State Highway 29 in Lower Lake, to remain on a private septic system.

Executive Summary
The Lake County Watershed Protection District (District) applied for and was accepted as a partner organization with CivicWell (Formerly known as the Local Government Commissions) CivicSpark Fellowship for the 2023-2024 service year. The District will receive one (1) CivicSpark Fellow to conduct an Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Outreach Assessment and Improvement Plan. The Fellow will work closely with District staff to learn about AIS programs being conducted throughout the county, with a focus on the Invasive Mussel Prevention Program. Through these efforts, the Fellow will strengthen the effectiveness of the District's Lakebed Management and several of the aquatic invasive species programs such as the Quagga Mussel Prevention Program and the Clear Lake Integrated Aquatic Plant Management Program. The Fellow will conduct assessments and surveys to determine how the programs can be improved through development of outreach, education, informative materials and products.
CivicSpark is a Governor's Initiative AmeriCorps program dedicated to building capacity for public agencies throughout California in order to address community resilience issues. CivicSpark provides local agencies with Fellows who serve full time for an 11 month service year with each Fellow providing at least 1,700 hours of service dedicated to a capacity building project. Fellows are employed through CivicWell and their salary, insurance, and workers compensation are all structured through CivicWell. Lake County has hosted AmeriCorps CivicSpark Fellows since 2017, and the District has hosted CivicSpark Fellows since 2020.
This year, the District's CivicSpark Fellowship will mostly be funded by a US Fish & Wildlife grant received by the District in 2021 and previously approved by the Board of Directors. The grant provides $31,000 towards the position.
We recommend that your Board utilize Section 38.2 Not in the Public Interest of Chapter 2 of the Lake County Code, specifically items (2) and (3) of that section, which allows the Board to waive competitive bidding based on the following findings:
(2) The unique nature of the goods or services precludes competitive bidding, and
(3) A determination that competitive bidding would produce no economic benefit to the County.
In accordance with Ordinance 3109, which further defines the criteria for the use of the aforementioned section, I offer the following justifications for the above-referenced findings:
The CivicSpark Fellowship selects Fellows who go through a highly competitive national application process. The application process requires Fellows to pass an in-depth state and federal background check, and at a minimum, to have a college degree in a relevant field. CivicSpark provides Lake County's local public agencies dedicated project support from emerging professionals who receive professional development and sector training. These benefits include but are not limited to:
* Direct support for specific resiliency project needs with defined outcomes.
* Increased capacity for sustainable communities and response community resilience needs.
* A pipeline for future resiliency efforts.
* Stronger State-local partnerships for information and expertise exchange.
* A workforce with local expertise in climate change, energy, water, or social issues.
* Access to affordable resources, resulting in increased capacity and hands-on training.
* Increased volunteerism at the local level.
These immeasurable benefits to our community are unique to and welded through the mission of CivicSpark making it unlikely that CivicSpark would be surpassed by an alternative approach using the appropriate criteria.
Additionally, if the District followed the route of a competitive bidding process, the District would miss the opportunity of the above benefits as it is not in the nature of CivicSpark to submit proposals under a competitive bidding process. This is due to the nature that the CivicSpark Fellowship is a service year through the AmeriCorps Program.
This request was submitted and approved by the BOS last year, however due to failure to recruit a fellow to complete the described project, a grant extension has been filed and this position is re-opened this year. Today we are asking for approval again for this Civic Spark position. Thank you.
Recommended Action
(a) Waive the formal bidding process, pursuant to Lake County's Code Section 38.2, as it is not in the public interest due to the unique nature of goods or services and (b) Authorize the Water Resources Director, on behalf of the Lake County Watershed Protection District, to sign and enter an Agreement with CivicWell for independent contractor services through the AmeriCorps CivicSpark Fellowship in the amount of $31,000 for one (1) CivicSpark Fellow to develop an Aquatic Invasive Species Outreach Assessment and Improvement Plan.

7.2Consideration of requesting Armstrong Consultant to provide a Lampson Field airport expansion conceptual plan
Action Item
Staff memo
Executive Summary
Lake County's Lampson Field is an important local asset. However, currently only small Cessna style planes are able to utilize its runway. Fixed wing medical transport, CalFire, and more cannot utilize the airport if it remains as is.
There is incoming businesses and current businesses that plan to utilize airports outside of Lake County due to Lampson Field'slimited runway length and proximity to mountainous areas.
With Congressional Community Projects and the upcoming release of infrastructure bill funds, it is possible that with expansion plan funding can be obtained to help build out Lampson field in a way that can benefit the future growth and economic development of Lake County. But without a plan, funding sources will remain difficult to access for this purpose.
Armstrong Consultants have already been acquired through a contract signed on July 26, 2022 for engineering and design services regarding airport improvements, maintenance, lighting, drainage, and more. Approval of moving forward with requesting Armstrong Consultants provide a airport expansion plan will require a Supplemental Services Agreement which would be brought back to the Board for consideration as well.
In the initial conversations with Armstrong Consultants the cost of the airport plan would be estimated at $34,104. Provided to the Board is the attachment on the potential Scope of Work and Cost of this endeavor.
Recommended Action
Direct staff to bring back a Supplemental Services Agreement for Armstrong Consultants to produce a Lampson Field Airport Expansion Plan.
Direction was given to staff to bring back a Supplemental Services Agreement for Armstrong Consultants to produce a Lampson Field Airport Expansion Plan and have Armstrong and Consultants provide a countywide needs proposal for additional locations.

7.3Consideration of District and Board of Supervisors Newsletter Options
Action Item
Staff memo
Executive Summary
During your Board's Budget Hearing of Thursday, June 15, Chair Pyska raised the idea of preparing and distributing regular District-specific or Board of Supervisors Newsletters.
Multiple members of your Board voiced support for development of Newsletters by District. Updates and input are regularly provided by members of your Board in Town Hall meetings and/or in collaboration with members of City Councils. Having a written document that can be readily shared may enhance these updates, and help ensure consistency of messaging.
There was some discussion, as well, regarding whether each Supervisor would prepare a Newsletter, or support would be provided by staff.
Staff review, at a minimum, to perform minor edits and ensure messaging on major County projects is consistent across Districts may be reasonable.
If desirable, Staff could also provide a greater level of support in preparing language, provided members of your Board are able to relay what information should be included (e.g. bullet points with essential information), and capture images that would otherwise require travel time.
A highly flexible Newsletter template is included here to enhance your Board's discussion, and staff will look forward to your discussion, consensus-building and resulting direction.
Recommended Action
Direction to staff for preparation of Newsletter(s), as appropriate.
Direction was given to staff to return with a final plan and policy at a later date.
