Board Of Supervisors — Tuesday, November 7, 2023

WHEREAS, Lake County has been home to people for greater than 12,000 years, and the richly diverse cultures of the seven Tribal Nations indigenous to Lake County, Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California, Koi Nation of Northern California, Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians, Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians, Habematolel Pomo of Upper Lake, Robinson Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California and Elem Indian Colony, have informed every aspect of our community's history. Policies and practices of the United States and earlier colonial governments deprived Indigenous People in the State of California and Lake County, specifically, of land-holdings, liberty, even life, itself; and WHEREAS, Native Americans have helped to make our community stronger and more prosperous. On August 3, 1990, President of the United States George H. W. Bush declared the month of November as National American Indian Heritage Month, thereafter commonly referred to as Native American Heritage Month. The bill read in part that "the President has authorized and requested to call upon Federal, State and local Governments, groups and organizations and the people of the United States to observe such month with appropriate programs, ceremonies and activities"; and WHEREAS, this landmark bill honoring America's tribal people represented a major step in the establishment of this celebration which began in 1976 when a Cherokee/Osage Indian named Jerry C. Elliott-High Eagle authored Native American Awareness Week legislation, the first historical week of recognition in the nation for native peoples. This led to 1986 with then President Ronald Reagan proclaiming November 23-30, 1986, as "American Indian Week." President Barack Obama made a Presidential Proclamation on the 31st of October of each year that each respective November would be National Native American Heritage Month. We celebrate the richness of the County's unique Tribal history and traditions and the impact Native American cultures have had on every American; and WHEREAS, Lake County is committed to protecting the Sovereign right of Native American Tribal organizations and institutions to strengthen their own communities. In observance of Native American month, the County of Lake encourages all citizens to join in recognizing the accomplishments and contributions Native Americans have made to our County, and salutes those who have sought to honor the important role of Tribal leadership in our County's past, present and future. NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Lake, do hereby proclaim the month of November 2023, National Native American Heritage Month in Lake County, California.

Adopt Proclamation Designating the Month of November 2023 as National Native American Heritage Month.

WHEREAS, the contributions and sacrifices of the men and women who served in the Armed Forces have been vital in maintaining our freedoms and way of life; and WHEREAS, tens of millions of Americans have served in the Armed Forces of the United States during the past century; and WHEREAS, hundreds of thousands of Americans have given their lives while serving in the Armed Forces during the past century; and WHEREAS, our state is home to more than 1.6 million veterans, the most of any state in the nation; and WHEREAS, Lake County is home to approximately 4500 veterans, or approximately 7% of our county's population; and WHEREAS, our veterans are brave and selfless individuals who, when duty called, willingly put themselves in harm's way to defend the lives and liberty of others; and WHEREAS, their abiding patriotism and enduring devotion to the ideals on which the United States is founded can never fail to inspire us; and WHEREAS, our veterans understand the important task before the American service men and women now keeping watch; and NOW, THEREFORE, LET IT BE PROCLAIMED that the Board of Supervisors acknowledge the great contributions and sacrifice of our veterans to both our country and to our local communities. The Boards of Supervisors honors the contributions of our veterans to the principles of democracy, individual freedom, and human rights. LET IT BE FURTHER PROCLAIMED that the Board of Supervisors will join the nationwide effort Operation Green Light in showing support for veterans by lighting our Lake County Courthouse in Lakeport green from November 6-12. By shining a green light, the County of Lake and our residents will let veterans know that they are seen, appreciated, and supported.

WHEREAS, Clear Lake Gleaners, located in Finley, California is Lake County's USDA Commodities distributor, the "Food Bank of Lake County"; and WHEREAS, Clear Lake Gleaners provides consistent and quality service to Lake County residents experiencing food insecurity, including scheduled monthly food box distributions throughout Lake County, cooperation in disaster response to provide food at shelter sites and Local Assistance Centers; and WHEREAS, Clear Lake Gleaners always answers the call to serve Lake County's most vulnerable residents with compassion and caring; and WHEREAS, Redwood Empire Food Bank of Sonoma County likewise provides supplemental food deliveries to Lake County community members around the lake, sending four truckloads of critical food supplies each week; and WHEREAS, the profound need for food supports in Lake County is demonstrated, for example, by Redwood Empire Food Bank serving approximately 700 households at Redbud Park each week in just 90 minutes time; and WHEREAS, 16.5% of Lake County's residents live in poverty according to the 2020 Census; and WHEREAS, collectively, Clear Lake Gleaners and Redwood Empire Food Bank serve approximately 21,870 individuals and 6,558 Lake County households; and WHEREAS, current economic circumstances, food price inflation, and the end of Public Health Emergency CalFresh Emergency Allotments makes food distributions a vital key in the continued economic and food security of Lake County residents. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Lake does hereby commend Clear Lake Gleaners and Redwood Empire Food Bank for their invaluable community service. PASSED AND ADOPTED this 7th day of November, 2023

Our office has received notification from the County Auditor-Controller regarding a proposed annexation to Konocti County Water District (KCWD) which has been filed with LAFCO (Project #2023-0002). The assessor parcel numbers are: 012-036-19, 012-036-11, 012-036-25, 012-036-26, 012-036-02, 012-036-29, 012-036-28, 012-036-08, 012-036-04, 012-036-05, 012-036-06, 012-037-50, 012-037-02, 012-037-44, 012-037-45, 012-037-46, 012-037-47, 012-040-15, 012-037-52, 012-037-35, 012-037-26, 012-037-27, 012-037-28, 012-037-51, 012-037-32, 012-037-37, 012-037-53, 012-037-13, 012-037-34, 012-037-33, 012-037-41, 012-037-39, 012-037-40, 012-037-38, 012-037-09, 012-037-08, 012-037-07, 012-037-06, 012-037-05, 012-037-04, 012-037-49, 012-039-22, 012-036-13, 012-036-27, 012-036-20.) A tax exchange agreement must be reached in order for this annexation to proceed. Since the County will not be relieved of any service requirements as a result of this annexation, it would not be appropriate for the General Fund and other taxing entities to incur any loss of property tax revenue. Staff has confirmed KCWD agrees with this assessment. The proposed Resolution, attached hereto, provides for no exchange of the existing base property tax revenue or the future tax increment as a result of this annexation.

Staff recommends that your Board adopt the Property Tax Exchange Resolution for Proposed Annexation to Konocti County Water District.

Staff is also requesting the Board's approval for Supervisors Pyska and Sabatier to attend the California State Association of Counties' (CSAC) Annual Conference in Oakland from 11/13 to 11/17/2023. This association actively develops priorities to advance change in counties throughout California.

The District is requesting to extend the temporary counter hours approved on April 25, 2023, due to the continuing workload increases with State Reports, illegal burning, permit issues, enforcement activities, grant programs, and other mandatory activities. District staff has been making progress, but is still unable to complete required work timely. With only 4 staff, we directly answer nearly all phone calls and we help people at our counter regularly throughout the day. The result is that staff does not have uninterrupted work time, nor do we have time for inspections, complaint response and other workload activities and tasks. This is creating delays in permitting and other projects throughout the County. We are not exceeding our statutory requirements, but we are having delays that are longer than our goals. The initial six months of the temporary office hours was very successful. We did not receive any complaints, as we were nearly always able to accommodate the public timely.

That the Board of Directors authorize the APCO to extend the closure of the District office to walk-in traffic Monday through Thursday from 8am to 10am and 4pm to 5pm, and all day Fridays for an additional six (6) months.

New Life Health Authority, a Tribal 638 Clinic owned by Pinoleville Tribal Nation, provides Narcotic Treatment Program services, including methadone, to Lake County Drug Medi-Cal (DMC) beneficiaries. The services provided under this agreement come at no cost to the County, as the Pinoleville Tribe is providing the non-federal match for Medicaid reimbursement through an Intergovernmental Transfer process. The competitive bidding process does not apply to this contract, as Lake is required to contract with any DMC provider who takes Lake County beneficiaries as the Medicaid pass-through.

Approve Agreement Between County of Lake and New Life Health Authority dba New Life, LLC. for Substance Use Disorder Outpatient Drug Free Services, Intensive Outpatient Treatment Services, and Narcotic Treatment Program Services in the Amount of $10,000,000.00 for Fiscal Year 2023-24 and Authorize the Board Chair to Sign.

The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) created this grant in 2018 for the purpose of funding affiliate, developing, and accredited Child Advocacy Centers in California which work with child abuse victims to reduce trauma to the children and their families by using a multidisciplinary-team approach. The Victim Witness Division of the District Attorney's Office has had its own Multi-Disciplinary Interview Center (MDIC) called "Hope House" for over 15 years. Hope House uses specialized audio/video equipment to conduct children's interviews in a less intimidating setting. Due to the nature of these situations, interviews must be conducted by a specially trained, trauma-informed professional who can build a rapport with the child, while conducting a meaningful and productive interview - this professional is also known as a Forensic Interviewer. The project cost of $88,000 will fund a full-time Forensic Interviewer, the Interviewer's training, transcription services for the forensic interviews, maintenance of the audio/visual equipment, as well as the upkeep and improvements to Hope House. Although a match is required for this grant, CalOES approved our request to waive the customary matching of funds. Adoption of this resolution will allow the Lake County District Attorney's Office to submit an application for the Lake County Child Advocacy Center Program and also requires the Board, after review and consideration, to authorize the Chair to sign the Grant Subaward Certification of Assurance of Compliance attached to the resolution.

The Information Technology Department wishes to enhance the security of Information Systems in the County. One way we can greatly increase security of systems is to leverage a product suite known as Managed Detection and Response (MDR). MDR allows for 24/7 professional monitoring of our Information Systems by a trusted third party along with advanced detection and prevention of malware and other cybersecurity threats. The Center for Internet Security (CIS) is a nonprofit organization that offers various cybersecurity products to state and local government agencies, including their MDR product, Endpoint Security Service (ESS). After reviewing a number of MDR products, we wish to partner with CIS because they offer a product that is most tailored to the needs of our County. We are asking that your Board waive the formal bidding requirement because the ESS product is available on the NASPO ValuePoint Cooperative Purchasing contract (Section 2-38.4).

a) Waive the formal bidding requirement per Section 2-38.4 Cooperative Purchasing; and b) authorize the IT Director to issue purchase orders to Carahsoft Technology Corp. for Center for Internet Security's Endpoint Security Service for an amount not to exceed $70,422.00

Special Districts Administration has shifted responsibility for some service areas internally between Utility Areas, each overseen by a Utility Area Superintendent. That internal shifting led to discussions among senior field staff and our administration and a determination that the new configuration would be better served by having an additional Treatment Plant Operator and one less Utility Worker I/II in Utility Area 1. Any impact to the budget is anticipated to be minor as there is a small differential between salary schedules with the TPO being approximately the same at entry level and slightly higher at higher tiers. We're requesting the Board adopt the attached resolution amending the position allocations for Budget Unit 8695 to reduce the Utility Worker I/II number to 11 and increase the TPO Trainee/I/II/III allocation to 9.

The Uniform and Clothing Purchase Policy was last updated in April of 2021. At that time former CAO Huchingson and her staff solicited input from department heads about the policy, including maximum cost amounts. Special Districts provided feedback and recommendations on costs for some of the items based on 2021 current prices. A recommendation was also provided requesting that the Maximum Cost amounts in the policy be tied to an index (CPI, etc.) so that the allotted cost would keep current with the increasing cost of goods and to avoid a need to revisit the policy after a few years. That recommendation for an index was not incorporated, and the costs of goods has outpaced the allotted maximum cost for some items. As we prepare to head into winter we've obtained quotes for Safety Jackets, Safety Pants, Jacket/windbreaker, and Steel-toed Muck Boots so staff is properly outfitted to work in inclement weather conditions. Quotes were obtained from responsive local vendors and additional pricing was checked with various online vendors as well. The table below highlights the items we are requesting consideration for. It identifies the item, current maximum cost, the range of costs we were quoted, our requested one-time maximum cost authorization, and the quantity we'd like to purchase. Safety jackets will be purchased from a local vendor, the muck boots did not have a responsive local vendor and will be purchased from an online source. Item Current Maximum Cost Range of Quotes (w/o tax or shipping) Requested one time maximum cost Quantity Safety Jacket 150 149.99 - 169.99 175 4 Steel-toed Muck Boots 150 145.00 - 159.99 175 5

Presentation Only.

As you will be aware, recent years have highlighted a profound and growing need for supplemental food support (above and beyond that provided by the CalFresh program) in Lake County. Clear Lake Gleaners and Redwood Empire Food Bank both provide invaluable service to Lake County residents, and both organizations have highlighted concerns the need in Lake County greatly outpaces financial and other resources available. We have a need to work with both entities, to ensure supplemental food is sustainably made available to those Lake County residents who most need it. Redwood Empire and Gleaners staff have reported approximately 21,870 unique people, in total, are receiving supplemental food services in Lake County. Chair Pyska, Department of Social Services and Administrative Office staff and I recently met with Clear Lake Gleaners and Redwood Empire Food Bank. Representatives from Senator McGuire and Assemblymember Aguiar-Curry's offices joined, as well. Further conversation and work are needed to ensure effective ongoing partnership. Prior to acting further, we wanted to bring this critical discussion to the full Board. Next steps will likely include discussion with the California Department of Social Services, and working to ensure the right combination of State and Federal resources is developed to support the ongoing need. We look forward to this discussion, and anticipate representatives from Clear Lake Gleaners and Redwood Empire Food Bank will join.

Clear Lake Gleaners (Lake County's official Food Bank) has been in existence since 1986 and is staffed by approximately 150 volunteers. While their home site is in Finley, they provide food at 8-9 sites around the lake. Initially, 120 people picked up food allotments from the Gleaners every two weeks; that number has grown to 550, on average, and more than 800 people are expected at the Finley site over Thanksgiving. Some will be aware, Clear Lake Gleaners is planning to expand their warehouse operations. However, funds provided to them from Federal and State funds are not sufficient to feed all of those in need in Lake County, at this time. Redwood Empire Food Bank has been in existence since 1987. While they are officially the Food Bank for Sonoma County, they serve those in need throughout Northern California, including 9 Lake County locations with at least monthly distributions. Their largest distribution is Redbud Park, in Clear Lake, where they have served approximately 700 households/week. In the past year, they have provided $6.6 million worth of food in Lake County alone. The cost to their organization was $2.4 million, and no State or Federal funds have been provided to support these Lake County distributions.

Direction to staff to continue conversations regarding food insecurity in Lake County, in collaboration with Clear Lake Gleaners, Redwood Empire Food Bank and State and Federal Partners, as needed.

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is designed to provide assistance through revitalization and improving economic opportunities with a high degree of flexibility for application of funds. The California Office of Housing and Community Development (HCD) administers the State's allocation of CDBG funds for eligible municipalities, which are non-entitlement jurisdictions - cities with populations under 50,000 and counties with populations under 200,000 in unincorporated areas that do not participate in the US Department of Housing and Urban Development direct CDBG program. Community Development Services, based in Kelseyville, is the County's CDBG contractor. They were established in 1997, have obtained over $100 million for economic development clients, and have administered a significant amount of CDBG funding. They are the contractor for Lake County's CDBG Coronavirus (CV)-1, CDBG CV 2, CDBG CV 3, and CDBG grants for business loans programs and microenterprise assistance. The Lake County CDBG Microenterprise program provides technical assistance to small and start up businesses through one-on-one consultations and workshops. Areas of assistance include preparing a business plan and financial forecasts, financial literacy, preparation to access financing, marketing plan development, social media, QuickBooks training, and credit building and repair. CDS has conducted four microenterprise workshops in 2023 and plans to conduct two more in 2024. CDS has also facilitated eight small business loans from these four CDBG funding sources, which have supported 36 jobs in Lake County. It's anticipated that HCD will issue the 2024 CDBG Notice of Funding Allocation in January 2024. CDS in conjunction with the County is planning to submit for up to $1,500,000 for fa�ade improvements, small business loans, job creation, and technical assistance. The fa�ade improvement grants would be between $5,000 - $40,000 for small businesses in Lake County. The program payment structure would be primarily reimbursement with 25% of funding provided upfront. Eligible costs include fa�ade, landscape, and signage improvements that face and are visible from the public right-of-way. If possible, fa�ade improvement funding will be evenly split between supervisor districts and preference given to applicants located near other applicants.

Subdivision Conditions of Approval b. Modification Conditions of Approval c. Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) 2019 Addendum d. Agency Comments 5 - Planning Commission Minutes from June 8, 2023 Meeting I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The applicant requests approval of a Modification to Subdivision (SD 06-01) to use 18765 Hartmann Road (APN 014-260-24) as a primary access, and eventually as a drainage area for the relocation of Coyote Creek, a Class II seasonal stream located east of the Valley Oaks commercial area. On June 8, 2023, the Planning Commission made a unanimous decision to recommend approval of this modification to the Board of Supervisors. Because the original subdivision was approved by the Board of Supervisors, the modification must be considered by the Board of Supervisors (Article 60, "Expiration, Revocation, or Modification of Permits and Reapplication"; subsection 60.21, "Modification of Permits". Subsections (a) and (b)). II. PROJECT BACKGROUND The approved tentative map shows an access leading directly to the State Highway 29 / Hartmann Road roundabout. However, the applicant was unable to receive approval by Caltrans for the access to the roundabout which connects the commercial portion of the development to Highway 29. This modification proposes an alternative access route that relocates the road access to 'Oak Meadow Drive', which then connects with Hartmann Road. This alternative route was analyzed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document for the Grocery Outlet project (UP 19-09), which required an Addendum to the original adopted Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR). The Oak Meadow Drive alternate route requires the use of a lot that was not part of the approved tentative subdivision map. The alternative route has received an encroachment permit from the County of Lake Public Works Department. Since Oak Meadow will be the primary access to not only Grocery Outlet, but the entire subdivision until the connection with the roundabout is approved by CalTrans, the Oak Meadow Drive access needs to be included as being a part of the Valley Oaks Development. Condition no. II.6 of Subdivision (Parcel) Map (PM 21-31) for Valley Oaks states: A note shall be placed on the Final Parcel Map stating Oak Meadow Dive is "Not a County Maintained Road" Currently the tentative subdivision map revision remains substantially non-compliant with the approved permitted subdivision because the new access was not included as part of the originally approved application. This modification would adjust the access to the subdivision.

FIGURE 3 - ZONING OF SITE AND VICINITY Source: Lake County GIS Mapping 2023 III. PROJECT ANALYSIS General Plan Conformity This section is limited to General Plan goals and policies that relate to the addition of APN 014-260-24 for use as an access into the Valley Oaks development. Goal LU-1: To encourage the overall economic and social growth of the County while maintaining its quality of life standards. * Policy LU-1.5 Mixed Use Development: The County shall actively support the development of mixed use projects as a means to reduce travel distances and create neighborhood environments that offer a range of residential options. APN 014-260-24 contains Oak Meadow Drive that provides access into the Valley Oaks development. Valley Oaks is a mixture of commercial and residential development that is undeveloped at present time with the exception of the Grocery Outlet building. The parcel is not proposed to be a development lot; the purpose of this lot is limited to providing an access and eventually for re-channeling Coyote Creek, a seasonal stream and drainage channel in this location. Middletown Area Plan Objective 5.1.5 Encourage comprehensive economic development efforts for the long-term benefit of the Planning Area aimed at increasing local employment opportunities. * Policy 5.1.5c: Increase local employment opportunities in order to provide an adequate number of jobs to support the local population. This modification is instrumental in providing access into Valley Oaks, a mixed-use development. Future commercial development will bring jobs into this overall area, which will benefit the local population through the purchase of commodities, housing and other local products and employment opportunities for local residents. Zoning Ordinance Conformity Article 19, Community Commercial (C2). The purpose of the C2 zoning district is to provide a full range of commercial retail and service establishments to communities. The affected portion of the project parcel is zoned "C2", Community Commercial; no commercial development is proposed on this parcel. A condition of approval has been added that requires a CEQA review that considers the cumulative impacts of all commercial development prior to any development occurring on the commercially-zoned APN 014-260-36. A re-assessment of the FEIR would be required for new development on APN 014-260-24 prior to any new development other than access and future realignment of Coyote Creek, which will be assessed further at such time when the drainage realignment is imminent. Article 24, Open Space (O). The purpose of the 'O' zoning district is to provide a zoning district to preserve, protect, and enhance public and private lands for their resource production potential and environmentally sensitive animal and plant habitat; while providing access to publicly owned lands and reducing land use conflicts by limiting uses incompatible with the purposes of this district. The following regulations shall apply in all "O" districts. The southern portion of APN 014-260-24 across Hartmann Road is zoned 'O', Open Space; this portion of the project parcel is not part of this project. Article 35, Floodway Combining (FW). The purpose of the Floodway Combining overlay zone is to provide land use regulations for properties situated in floodways, and along creeks and streams to ensure for an adequate open corridor to safeguard against the effects of bank erosion, channel shifts, increased runoff or other threats to life and property; and to prevent property damage and safeguard the health, safety and general welfare of the people by allowing the passage of the one hundred (100) year flood. The southern portion of APN 014-260-24 is within the Putah Creek floodway, a year-round stream. The portion of APN 014-260-24 located within the floodway is zoned 'O', Open Space, and the portion of the lot that is located in the floodway is not buildable based on current County, State and Federal regulations. The portion of APN 014-260-24 that contains Oak Meadow Drive is located in the AE flood zone but is not within the floodway. Article 36, Floodway Fringe (FF). The purpose of the Floodway Fringe zoning overlay district is to provide land use regulations for properties and their improvements situated in the floodplain to ensure protection from hazards and damage which may result from flood waters. The entire APN 014-260-24 is within a mapped flood plain with the southern portion of the lot located in the Putah Creek floodway. Development on that portion of APN 014-260-24 is not proposed. Article 37 Waterway (WW). The purpose of this zoning designation is to protect, preserve, and restore significant riparian systems, streams and their riparian, aquatic and woodland habitats, including but not limited to protecting water quality; erosion control through best management practices, and protecting the public health and safety. As previously stated, the southern portion of APN 014-260-24 is within the Putah Creek floodway, a year-round stream. Coyote Creek, an intermittent Class II stream, runs to the north of the road extension for Oak Meadow Drive. No development may occur within the Putah Creek floodway per County, State and Federal Regulations. Coyote Creek, a seasonal water channel, will be realigned at a later date and is not part of this modification proposal. Article 53, Design Review Combining District (DR). The purpose of the "DR" combining district is to insure aesthetic compatibility between uses, protect and enhance property values, protect scenic qualities, and promote community character through use of community design manuals. This district is intended to be established at the request of an original developer or a substantial segment of the population of an area. Within the "DR" Design Review combining district, all uses of land shall comply with the regulations of the base zoning district and with the additional regulations of "DR" combining district. No development on APN 014-260-24 is proposed. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guideline Section 15162 requires agencies to evaluate the environmental effects of proposed land use and actions. On March 3, 2020, an Addendum to the FEIR was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in conjunction with the appeal of the major use permit for Grocery Outlet. This Addendum included the access that connects Hartmann Road with Oak Meadow Drive, and which leads into the commercial portion of the Valley Oaks Development. When making a determination that an EIR may be changed through an Addendum, the following requirements must be addressed. 15164. ADDENDUM TO AN EIR OR NEGATIVE DECLARATION (a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. (b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. (c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration. (d) The decision making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project. (e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency's findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence. (CEQA Guidelines 2023). An addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) was prepared by the County for the Grocery Outlet store. The Addendum referenced the site plans submitted for Grocery Outlet, which included the access that is under consideration in this modification. The Board of Supervisors adopted the Addendum when the Major Use Permit appeal was denied by the Board of Supervisors. CEQA section 15162 lists four conditions that would cause the project to need a new EIR rather than an Addendum. These four conditions involve significant changes to a project that might further impact sensitive species. The lead agency, Lake County, has the ability to determine whether the CEQA evaluation needs to rise to the level of a new EIR, an Addendum to an EIR, a Negative Deciaration, or if no further CEQA review is necessary. In this case the road was evaluated under the Addendum to the original FEIR for Valley Oaks. Subsection (c) is primarily advisory regarding procedure. The Board of Supervisors is being asked to adopt the previously-adopted Addendum to CEQA that accompanied the Grocery Outlet major use permit, UP 19-09. The addendum contains a description on the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR for Grocery Outlet, as well as for the Oak Meadow Drive access.

Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors: Adopt the Addendum to the FEIR and approve the Modification (MMU 22-01) to Subdivision (SD 06-01) with the original and modified conditions of approval. Sample Motion: Adoption of FEIR Addendum I move that the Board of Supervisors adopt the Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report based on findings in the Memorandum for MMU 22-01 dated November 7, 2023. Approval of the Modification (MMU 22-01) I move that the Board of Supervisors approve the Modification (MMU 22-01) to Tentative Vesting Subdivision for Valley Oaks (SD 06-01) based on the findings and subject to the conditions in the Staff Memorandum dated November 7, 2023.

This is a request for the purchase of holiday greeting cards to send to Lake County troops stationed away from their home. This time of year can prove to be extremely difficult for those members of the military that serve their country and are stationed away from their home and families around the holiday season. These cards will be a reminder that we appreciate their service and are thinking of them during this time. Operation Tango Mike, whose mission is to send support and care packages to our troops, will include these cards in the Holiday packages.

Approve the purchase of Holiday Greeting Cards for the Board of Supervisors to send to Lake County Troops in an amount not to exceed $600 and authorize County Administrative Officer or designee to purchase.

Pursuant to your Board's Statement of Intended Decision in the above matter on September 19, 2023, I have prepared the attached Findings of Fact and Decision. On September 19, 2023, your Board determined, by a vote of four to zero with one recusal, to grant this appeal in part. If the Findings of Fact are acceptable to you, I would recommend that you take the following two actions:

1. Move to approve the Findings of Fact and Decision and authorize the Chair to Sign; and 2.

The Health Services Department recently became aware of a funding opportunity made available by the National Association and County and City Health Officers (NACCHO). If awarded, the $60,000 grant would facilitate focused academic work and training for healthcare providers and Emergency Services personnel in the following areas: * Identification of harm reduction opportunities, using a patient-centered approach that promotes trauma-informed care; * Promotion of provider engagement in harm reduction approaches, open discussion with patients on substance use, and strategically responsive supports; * Strengthening of patient-provider relationships, empowering patients and providing low-barrier, welcoming and productive care. This will be accomplished by partnering with Health Care Coalition members (e.g., local healthcare providers, hospitalists and Emergency Medical Services personnel) to raise awareness of the role of buprenorphine prescription in harm reduction, Narcan access, and how substance abuse-related stigma and burnout may affect optimal patient care. Bolstering these relationships and enhancing supports available to healthcare providers and first responders will benefit every Lake County resident. For your Board's situational awareness, Health Services staff became aware of this opportunity in the time since your last Regular Meeting, and the application deadline was Monday, November 6 (yesterday). Therefore, with the unanimous support of the departmental leadership team, the application was proactively developed and submitted. It remains possible to withdraw our application, if your Board finds it necessary. However, the Health Services team recommends you instead affirm your support for pursuit of this funding opportunity, and Authorize the Health Services Director, Public Health Officer and/or their Designee(s) to execute all documents related to this funding opportunity, should the grant be awarded.

By consensus, affirm your Board's support for Health Services' pursuit of this funding opportunity, and Authorize the Health Services Director, Public Health Officer and/or their Designee(s) to execute all documents related to this funding opportunity, should the grant be awarded. (No Resolution was required for grant application submittal)

The Notice of Hearing was sent in a timely manner via Certified Mail by the Clerk of the Board on September 15, 2023. The notice was returned by USPS and indicated that the notice was unable to be forwarded to a new address. An attempt to contact the applicant by the phone number listed was not successful and did not allow voicemail to request a call back. I request the appeal be denied due to lack of response from the applicant despite making multiple attempts to contact them.

Deny Assessment Appeal Application No. 20-2022 Quail Run Fitness for Failure to Return Notice of Hearing.

Supplemental Assessment filing dates are within 60 days after the date printed on the supplemental notice or its postmark date, whichever is later. If such notice is not received within 15 days of the deadline filing date, or the property is in a county that allows for the tax bill to serve as the notice, the filing date is within 60 days of the date printed on the supplemental tax bill or its postmark date, whichever is later. On the submitted appeal applications Mr. Villalobos indicated that the postmark date for the supplemental assessment notice was approximately 50 days past the date listed on the notice. Since a scanned copy of the envelope with the August 10, 2022 postmark date was not provided during filing, I am requesting that the Board determine if the appeal was filed timely. If it is determined that that appeal was filed timely, either the Assessor's Office or the Applicant can request that both appeal applications be considered on May 14, 2024 to allow for time to prepare, or the appeals can be taken up at this meeting. If it is determined that the appeals were not filed in a timely manner, the appeals can be denied due to timeliness.

Determine if assessment appeal applications were filed timely.
