Executive Summary
DESIGNATING JUNE 2024 AS
LGBTQIA+ PRIDE MONTH IN LAKE COUNTY
WHEREAS, the United States was founded on the principle that "all men are created equal", and the fulfillment of this promise has expanded over the years to cover all people. Some of the most inspiring moments in our history have arisen from civil rights movements bringing one group after another under the umbrella of our most revered and foundational principle of American society; and
WHEREAS, in the movement toward equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual (LGBTQIA+) and people of all other gender identities and sexual orientations, a historic turning point occurred on June 28, 1969, in New York City, with the onset of the Stonewall Riots. During these riots, LGBTQIA+ citizens rose up and resisted police harassment that arose out of discriminatory criminal laws that have since been declared unconstitutional. In the four decades since, civil rights for LGBTQIA+ people have grown substantially, and LGBTQIA+ pride celebrations have taken place around the country every June to commemorate the beginning of the Stonewall Riots; and
WHEREAS, California has been a leader in advancing the civil rights of its LGBTQIA+ citizens with leaders such as Harvey Milk. While further progress is needed, it is important to recognize and celebrate the substantial gains that have been achieved; and
WHEREAS, Lake County's local elected leaders such as Denise Rushing and Joey Luiz not only represented their constituents, but also represented the LGBTQIA+ community within Lake County. The Board of Supervisors also recognizes the many staff members from line-staff to Department Heads who are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community and serve Lake County; and
WHEREAS, while LGBTQIA+ Americans remain marginalized and under attack through legislation in states across our country, the Lake County Board of Supervisors stands firm against intolerance, discrimination, and injustice, and is deeply committed to fostering communities where all people can live free and authentic lives; and
WHEREAS, LGBTQIA+ residents in Lake County represent our families, our friends, our neighbors, our teachers, our employees, and our community leaders. Across all religions, races, and communities there are LGBTQIA+ people helping our nation to become a more perfect union in reaching our ideals proclaimed in our Declaration of Independence that all "people" are created equal and therefore deserve to be embraced and treated as equals.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED the Board of Supervisors of the County of Lake does hereby designate June 2024 as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month in Lake County and calls upon its residents to eliminate prejudice everywhere it exists and celebrate the diversity of our communities.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 4th day of June 2024.

COMMENDING CALPINE CORPORATION ON
FORTY YEARS OF POWER GENERATION
WHEREAS, June 5, 2024, marks 40 years since Calpine Corporation was founded in California, and Calpine Corporation now owns and operates the majority of the largest producing geothermal field in the world, located in Lake and Sonoma Counties; and

WHEREAS, by consistently donating locally, participating in events, supporting local initiatives, joining public discussions, including key Lake County committees such as the Geothermal Advisory Committee, the Seismic Monitoring Advisory Committee and the Geysers Air Monitoring Program, Calpine is an actively engaged community partner in Lake County; and
WHEREAS, Calpine has teamed with the County of Lake to build the nation's first recycled water-to-power project - the Southeast Geysers Effluent Pipeline project has been providing an environmentally responsible way to dispose of treated recycled water, preventing its discharge into local waterways and providing a sustainable source of steam for geothermal power operations that has help sustain generation capacity at The Geysers for over 26 years; and
WHEREAS, Calpine Corporation is America's largest generator of electricity from natural gas and geothermal resources, with operations in competitive power markets serving customers in 22 states, Canada and Mexico, providing over 26,700 megawatts of generation capacity; and

WHEREAS, Calpine is at the forefront of California's clean energy revolution, investing in battery storage projects statewide to bolster grid reliability and support the transition to renewable energy sources - with a total of 2,000 megawatts of battery storage systems operating or in advanced development, Calpine is playing a pivotal role in securing California's energy future; and
WHEREAS, through innovation, Calpine's consolidation of The Geysers' steam fields and power plants is continuing to sustainably harness geothermal power from a natural, clean energy source, heat from steam produced one and a half miles below the earth's surface, to produce electricity. Geothermal Energy from The Geysers is continuing to help meet California's bold greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED, that the Lake County Board of Supervisors congratulates Calpine Corporation on 40 years of environmentally responsible power production, its outstanding financial and volunteer contributions to our area communities in which it operates and the innovation, professionalism and expertise of its employees who work hard daily to ensure the sustainability of The Geysers and continuation of green geothermal power production in Lake County for years to come.

Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
A) The annual NACo conference will take place this year in Tampa, Florida from 7/12-7/15. During the conference, not only will I be learning about federal programs that can benefit the County of Lake, but I will also be attending my two policy groups that I am a member of. I am a current member of the NACo Health Policy Steering Committee and the newly reformed Economic Mobility Leadership Advisory Council which also includes the Rural Leaders for Economic Mobility.
Networking is always a key component to any and all conferences and I intend to follow up with a wide variety of Commissioners, Judges, and Supervisors from across the nation with whom I've been building relationships with as we discuss similar issues occurring in the communities we serve.
I am also seeking a Vice-Chair membership on the NACo Health Policy Steering Committee and that announcement will be made at the annual meeting. With our health metrics where they stand today in Lake County, I find it critical to position our Board in the conversations that could lead to greater health outcomes in our future.
B) During the Annual Business Meeting, we will be voting on newly elected positions as well as resolutions that have the ability to become, or change, federal law. CSAC works with all delegates to let them know where California stands on these votes, and I will be reaching out to the appropriate departments to learn of their position on the items I will be voting on during the Annual Business Meeting.

Executive Summary
North Coast Opportunities, Inc. (NCO) provides Stage One Childcare Services to Lake County clients receiving CalWORKs cash aid. Services include enrollment and payments to childcare providers, as well as coordination with LCDSS, and verifying the licensure of service providers. This Second Amendment to Contract changes the compensation and budget sections to reflect increases in childcare spending. For the period of July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025, contractor now has a spending limit of 950,000.00 per fiscal year. The state funding for Stage 1 childcare is uncapped and based on childcare provided.

Staff memo
Executive Summary
Staff is requesting the Board of Directors of the Lake County Watershed Protection District, approve the attached Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Lake County Watershed Protection District (District) and the local, non-profit Tribal EcoRestoration Alliance (TERA) organization to conduct much-needed conservation land and water management efforts in Lake County.
This contract outlines services TERA would be conducting for the District, and the District would be paying TERA for these services. The attached MOU and scope of work (ATTACHMENT A) identify the specific tasks, grant projects, restoration needs, and anticipated future projects.
This item is not expected to be controversial; therefore we are requesting this item to be placed on the Consent Agenda.
This will be the second MOU between the District and TERA with both parties having collaborated and partnered on several grant projects such as restoration of shorelines, levee and creek vegetation maintenance, native plant community restoration and rearing, and cultural and invasive plant burning planning activities. The District is grateful to TERA to accomplish these much-needed projects that would otherwise not be able to be completed due to capacity and staff shortfalls within the District. The District and TERA are dedicated to cross-interdisciplinary knowledge sharing and through this partnership, they are working together towards a vision of healing our land and communities.
Staff is requesting that the Board waive the competitive bidding process and approve a contract with TERA, in accordance with Lake County Code Section 38.2, it is not in the public's interest to competitively bid this project, due to:
38.2 (2) The unique nature of the goods or services precludes competitive bidding because these services are provided by a multi-tribal organization affiliated with Robinson Rancheria, a sovereign government agency and TERA provides an experienced conservation-focused, culturally-relevant and dedicated stewardship role on all their projects; and
38.2 (3) The competitive bidding process would not produce an economic benefit to the County because TERA is a 501c3 (Federal EIN: 99-1079532, CA SSID: 6085557) non-profit organization and provides their contracted services at cost.
Due to the nature of the field-based services needed, exact hours required for agreement tasks fluctuate seasonally. Annually, tasks within the scope of work (ATTACHMENT A) are estimated to currently cost between $25,000 and $80,000 annually, with a budget not to exceed $90,000 in any single fiscal year.
As during the last MOU period, when possible and where eligible, outside funding and grants are being used and pursued to support the project tasks within the scope of work. For example current grants from the Department of Pesticide Regulation, Blue Ribbon Committee for the Rehabilitation of Clear Lake, California Natural Resources Agency, Wildlife Conservation Board, and CA Department of Water Resources are currently available to fund TERA. Future or planned funds might be sourced from grants and funding agreements through Westside IRWMP, NRCS, US Fish and Wildlife Service, CA Department of Fish and Wildlife, State Water Board, and Cal-Fire. Internal District funds will be used to supplement or support these outside funding sources when needed.
Recommended Action
(a) Waive the formal bidding process, pursuant to Lake County Code Section 38.2, as it is not in the public interest due to the unique nature of the goods and services, and (b) Authorize the County of Lake Water Resources Director to sign an Memorandum of Understanding agreement between the Lake County Watershed Protection District and the Tribal EcoRestoration Alliance for the time period of June 1, 2024 - April 30

Proclamation
Staff memo
Executive Summary
DESIGNATING JUNE 2024 AS
LGBTQIA+ PRIDE MONTH IN LAKE COUNTY
WHEREAS, the United States was founded on the principle that "all men are created equal", and the fulfillment of this promise has expanded over the years to cover all people. Some of the most inspiring moments in our history have arisen from civil rights movements bringing one group after another under the umbrella of our most revered and foundational principle of American society; and
WHEREAS, in the movement toward equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual (LGBTQIA+) and people of all other gender identities and sexual orientations, a historic turning point occurred on June 28, 1969, in New York City, with the onset of the Stonewall Riots. During these riots, LGBTQIA+ citizens rose up and resisted police harassment that arose out of discriminatory criminal laws that have since been declared unconstitutional. In the four decades since, civil rights for LGBTQIA+ people have grown substantially, and LGBTQIA+ pride celebrations have taken place around the country every June to commemorate the beginning of the Stonewall Riots; and
WHEREAS, California has been a leader in advancing the civil rights of its LGBTQIA+ citizens with leaders such as Harvey Milk. While further progress is needed, it is important to recognize and celebrate the substantial gains that have been achieved; and
WHEREAS, Lake County's local elected leaders such as Denise Rushing and Joey Luiz not only represented their constituents, but also represented the LGBTQIA+ community within Lake County. The Board of Supervisors also recognizes the many staff members from line-staff to Department Heads who are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community and serve Lake County; and
WHEREAS, while LGBTQIA+ Americans remain marginalized and under attack through legislation in states across our country, the Lake County Board of Supervisors stands firm against intolerance, discrimination, and injustice, and is deeply committed to fostering communities where all people can live free and authentic lives; and
WHEREAS, LGBTQIA+ residents in Lake County represent our families, our friends, our neighbors, our teachers, our employees, and our community leaders. Across all religions, races, and communities there are LGBTQIA+ people helping our nation to become a more perfect union in reaching our ideals proclaimed in our Declaration of Independence that all "people" are created equal and therefore deserve to be embraced and treated as equals.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED the Board of Supervisors of the County of Lake does hereby designate June 2024 as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month in Lake County and calls upon its residents to eliminate prejudice everywhere it exists and celebrate the diversity of our communities.

Agreement
Staff memo
Executive Summary
On January 11, 2024, the Board of Supervisors approved an Agreement with Black Dog DESIGNS for a County economic development website, marketing collateral, and website hosting services. That Agreement is part of RFP 24-04 Economic Development Design Services, which closed in September 2023. This Trails Website Agreement would also be part of RFP 24-04 as it aligns with the RFP's scope. The new trails website will feature materials from the dormant Konocti Trails System website, which won the Social Media, Websites and Technology Award from the California Trails Conference Foundation. As a result of its background building trails websites for local communities and the ability to leverage the brand development of the Lake County economic development website Black Dog DESIGNS was selected for the relaunch of the trails website.
A relaunched trails website would have value for residents, visitors, and businesses in Lake County. The site would be utilized by the Tourism Improvement District (Visit Lake County) and the economic development marketing materials in development. Approximately 25% of visitors to the Konocti Regional Trails website were from Lake County, 43% from the Bay Area, and 85% from California. The site will feature trails, maps, descriptions of public lands, access points, and the County's Parks, Recreation, and Trails Master Plan.
Recommended Action

7.3Second Reading - Consideration of Ordinance Amending Article I of Chapter 27 of the Lake County Code - Fire Mitigation Fees
Ordinance
Staff memo
Executive Summary
At the May 21, 2024 Board meeting, the Ordinance was
The Mitigation Fee Act (California Government Code sections 66000, et seq.) provides authority for local governments to impose fees to offset the impacts of development on public facilities or services. The statute regulates how public agencies may collect, maintain, and spend development impact fees, including reporting requirements.
California fire departments can use fire mitigation fees, also known as development impact fees, as an effective tool to raise funds for expanding their fire protection and emergency medical response systems. These fees can fund construction and expansion of fire stations, training centers, administrative buildings, and other public services.
The purpose of Article 1 is to implement the Lake County General Plan policy providing for the adoption of fire mitigation fees and the collection of fees at the time of the issuance of building permits, said fees to be allocated to the affected Fire Agency for the acquisition of capital facilities in order to ensure the provision of the capital facilities necessary to maintain current levels of fire protection services necessitated by new development.
