Executive Summary
The Officer Wellness and Mental Health Grant Program, was established in the 2022 Budget Act (Assembly Bill 178, Chapter 45, Statutes of 2022), and provided $50 million for city and county law enforcement agencies for the purpose of improving officer wellness and expanding mental health sources.

The Lake County Sheriff's Office was awarded $64,592 from this grant. To address improvements in our deputies' physical/mental well-being, we added a subscription to the Mindbase Wellness Platform. The platform requires an interface with our current CAD/RMS system to help track types of calls that deputies respond to.

Action Item

Staff memo
Executive Summary
The County of Lake operates a comprehensive collections program under the State of California's framework through the Treasurer - Tax Collector's office. This program collects a variety of debts, primarily court-ordered debt, through multiple processes. One of these is the utilization of an outside collections agency.
Previously, the County utilized Municipal Services Bureau (MSB) for these services under a prior State master agreement. This vendor has discontinued the provision of these services and T-TC staff now recommends moving forward with Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP. The State of California has secured favorable terms tailored to this program, which we are eligible to utilize as a County, so there is no economic benefit to engage in competitive bidding.
Recommended Action
(a) Waive the Formal Bidding Process Pursuant to Lake County Code Section 2-38.2 as competitive bidding would produce no economic benefit to the Count; (b) Approve Agreement between County of Lake and Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP pursuant to State of California Master Agreement 2018-14, and authorize the Treasurer - Tax Collector to sign.

Background
In April 2022, your Board approved the final amendment to the property exchange agreement with the State of California for a land swap of vacant County-owned property in Clearlake in exchange for the California Army National Guard Armory adjacent to the Hill Road Correctional Facility in Lakeport. The armory had been vacant since approximately 2016 as part of a cost-reduction program for the National Guard. The property exchange was intended to provide a dual public benefit - to help meet affordable housing needs through a future housing development on the land in Clearlake, and to provide the Lake County Sheriff's Department with an expanded space and an improved operations and administration center location.
In April 2023 your Board approved an architectural engineering agreement with Dewberry Architects for the design of an adaptive reuse of the armory for the Sheriff's Department. Dewberry's initial scope of work was to complete the preliminary phase of design, which included an evaluation of the existing armory building, analysis of Lake County Sheriff's Department operations and staffing levels, and recommended future staffing and facility needs to accommodate community growth projections over a 20-30 year projection. Renovation recommendations were then developed to incorporate best practices related to law enforcement facility design and in support of the Lake County Sheriff's Department mission. Specific design deliverables from Dewberry included a facility assessment, a staffing needs analysis, a space needs program, three conceptual design options, estimates of probable construction costs, and a schematic design based on the preferred concept. The project report and schematic design are included with this agenda packet.
There are sufficient appropriations in the County's FY 23-24 budget to fund the final design development for the armory, specifically in budget unit 1785, Public Safety Facilities. Revenue for the appropriations is generated through American Rescue Plan Act State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. Therefore, staff requested a proposal from Dewberry for the remaining design work, and prepared a draft contract amendment which incorporates that scope of work into their agreement.
Discussion
The preliminary construction cost estimate for the armory is approximately $20 million, and there is not an identified source of funding for construction. Built infrastructure project designs such as the armory run the risk of becoming outdated or even obsolete as more time passes from the completion of design to construction. Consequently, even though the project is fully funded through design, the decision to advance the project to 100% design requires your Board's input.
Public agencies have several options when funding capital improvements. The County of Lake has historically completed capital projects on a "pay-as-you-go" basis, either with County general funds, or by securing state/federal funding, or through grants, or some combination of the three. However, in absence of grants or state/federal funding, larger capital projects often require more money than what can be made available from the County general fund. Another option available to local jurisdictions is debt financing; however, the County has rarely, if ever, implemented or even considered debt financing for projects.
Specific to capital improvement funds for this project, your Board included a request for $10 million of construction funding as one of the seven projects included with the County's FY 2025 Community Project Funding (CPF) application to Congressman Thompson. However, it is an uncertain source of funding with many other jurisdictions competing for CPF funds.
Staff recommends your Board approve the amendment with Dewberry Architects to complete the project design, and direct staff to research and prepare a construction funding proposal and report back to your Board with recommendations to complete the full project.

Abatement Summary:
Pursuant to Lake County Code (LCC) Chapter 13, Article VI, Section 13-42.1 - Upon completion of the abatement, the Board shall hear and consider the account and proposed assessment, together with objections and protests thereto. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Board may make such modifications and revisions of the proposed account and assessment as it deems just and may order the account and proposed assessment confirmed or denied, in whole or in part or as modified and revised. (LCC Chapter 13, Article VI, Section 13-42.1)
On January 21, 2021, during a shoreline survey of Clear Lake, the property located at 7129 E STATE HWY 20 Lucerne CA (property) was found to be in violation of the LCC and Lakebed Encroachment Lease. A violation letter was sent to the property owner on May 18, 2021.
- LCC Ch. 23-13. - Maintenance, Repair and Removal of Improvements.
- Lakebed Encroachment Lease - 13. Maintenance and Repair.
The property was an improved lot with a lakebed structure consisting of a pier and covered platform.
A Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate (NONOTA) was issued against the property on November 16, 2022. The property owner reflected in the title is CHERNOW EDWARD (Chernow). Notices were posted on the property and mailed to Chernow's address reflected on county records. The notices were signed for and marked as received.
Due to the fact that the legal responsible party was not able or willing to correct the violation(s) within the 21 days given within the Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate, Water Resources moved forward with the abatement process.
On May 30, 2023, an inspection and abatement warrant was issued by a County of Lake Superior Judge.
On June 1, 2023, an inspection of the property was conducted to observe the extent and scope of the violations that were occurring on the property. Our contractor who responded to RFQ 21-13 provided quotes on the lakebed structure abatement.

Staff memo
Executive Summary
Lake County is preparing a comprehensive update to the 2008 General Plan and all eight of the County's Local Area Plans (i.e., "Lake County 2050"), which were adopted at various times between 1989 and 2010. Often described as each jurisdiction's "constitution," general plans are required by State law to guide land use and development, typically over a 20-30-year period. General plans must be updated periodically to respond to new State laws, changing conditions, and emerging issues and opportunities. State law requires that the General Plan contain eight elements: land use, circulation, housing, open space, noise, safety, conservation, and environmental justice.
The County's eight Local Area Plans comprehensively cover the entire unincorporated county (see Figure 1, Local Area Plans) and provide more detailed guidance specific to the local planning area. The General Plan and Local Area Plans Update will build off the current General Plan and Local Area Plans and provide a framework for land use, transportation, and conservation decisions, and direct future growth in unincorporated Lake County through the year 2050. The existing General Plan and Local Area Plans may be accessed online at: https://www.lakecountyca.gov/459/Planning.
To inform the update to the Health and Safety Element, the project will also include a countywide climate vulnerability analysis and evacuation study. The County is also beginning a concurrent effort to prepare the County's first Climate Adaptation Plan, which is funded by the State's Adaptation Planning Grant program and will include the development of a framework for the county to adapt to climate change.
The Community Development Department and the planning consultant obtained by the County (PlaceWorks) to complete Lake County 2050 will provide the Board of Supervisors with an overview of the components of the General Plan and Local Area Plans, the update process, environmental review, the Climate Adaptation Plan, community engagement efforts, and next steps. Staff welcomes input from the Board and public and will be available to answer questions that may arise. However, this item is informational and no formal action by the Board requested. The PowerPoint presentation prepared for this item is included in Attachment 1. The Community Engagement Plan for the General Plan and Local Area Plans Update is included in Attachment 2.

Executive Summary
Unfortunately, Lake County has seen an increase of severe behavioral health needs. We will be coming to the Board in the near future to present on these issues.
We are seeing a large number of beneficiaries who require a higher level of care, including competency restoration services for misdemeanor offenses. Also a higher level of need for people who are challenging to find placement for due to significant behavioral/safety issues.
North Vally Behavioral Health is one of the only facilities in California that accepts these individuals. Due to the high level of care these are expensive placements to pay for. The good news is that North Valley Services are largely reimbursable. They are not 100% reimbursable but we see anywhere from 50-70% back from Medi-Cal on these services. The remainder comes out of our realignment funds.

Executive Summary
California Psychiatric Transitions provides inpatient psychiatry services to the County's most seriously ill and dangerous beneficiaries. Individuals who commit a felony and are deemed incompetent to stand trial (IST) have historically only found placement at a California State Hospital. In 2021, Lake was lucky enough to get a contract with CPT who also receives these types of beneficiaries.
