5. Approval of the Consent Agenda
5.1Approve Amendment #2 to the Agreement for Professional Services between the County of Lake and Lake County PEG-TV
Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
On November 22, 2022, an agreement was approved by the Board of Supervisors to provide videography services to the Lake County Municipal Advisory Councils (MACs) for the 22-23 fiscal year. Due to delays in the supply chain and the time required for training, the equipment was not ready to perform its duties as detailed in the agreement until June 2023. On July 11, 2023, the first amendment to the original agreement was approved by the Board of Supervisors extending the agreement through June 30, 2024. Originally, PEG provided videography services for 4 out of the 6 MACs. Later that year in November 2023, the Middletown Area Town Hall requested that PEG provide services to its meetings. Due to the increase of MACs being covered and longer meetings due to activities such as the Lake County 2050 General Plan Update, the $10,000 are close to being exhausted and will not cover the month of June's MAC meetings.
The Amendment before the Board today offers to increase the agreement amount by $1,000 for a total amount not to exceed, $11,000 for the term of the agreement through June 30, 2024.
Recommended Action
Approve Amendment #2 to the Agreement for Professional Services between the County of Lake and Lake County PEG-TV for a new total not to exceed $11,000

Proclamation
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
DESIGNATING JUNE 15, 2024, TO
HONOR INDIAN CHILD WELFARE ACT DAY
WHEREAS, the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) was enacted by Congress in 1978 to address the crisis affecting American Indian and Alaska Native children, families, and tribes due to the high number of children being removed from their homes and placed in non-Indian foster or adoptive homes, often far away from their communities and culture; and
WHEREAS, ICWA recognizes the inherent sovereignty of Indian tribes to determine the best interests of their children, aiming to keep Indian children connected with their families, communities, and cultural heritage; and
WHEREAS, ICWA establishes minimum federal standards for the removal and placement of Indian children and affirms the importance of tribal authority in child welfare matters, ensuring that Indian children are placed in homes that reflect the unique values and traditions of their culture; and
WHEREAS, the continued implementation and enforcement of ICWA are vital to the preservation of Indian tribes and the well-being of Indian children, providing them with a sense of identity and belonging that is essential for their development and success; and
WHEREAS, the area known as Lake County has been developed upon the ancestral homelands of Indigenous peoples who have continuously inhabited, utilized, and stewarded the land since time immemorial and is also the home to 7 Federally recognized tribes: Big Valley of Pomo Indians Elem Indian Colony, Habematolel Pomo of Upper Lake, Koi Nation of Northern California, Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California, Robinson Rancheria of Pomo Indians, and the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians; and
WHEREAS, we recognize and honor the resilience and strength of Indian tribes, families, and children, and commit to supporting the principles and practices established by ICWA; and
WHEREAS, on June 15, 2023 in the case of Haaland vs Brackeen, the United States Supreme Court decided to uphold and reaffirm the importance of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) by a vote of 7-2 where Justice Neil Gorusch stated "In adopting the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) Congress exercised that lawful authority to secure the right of Indian Parents to raise their families as they please; the right of Indian children to grow in their culture; and the right of Indian Communities to resist fading into the twilight of History."; and
WHEREAS, June 15, 2024, provides an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to the Indian Child Welfare Act, to raise awareness about its importance, and to celebrate the progress made in protecting the rights and cultures of Indian children.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT PROCLAIMED, that the Board of Supervisors of the County of Lake, hereby designates June 15, 2024, as a day to honor the Indian Child Welfare Act and encourage all citizens to learn about and support the principles of the Indian Child Welfare Act, recognizing its significance in safeguarding the future of Indian children and their communities.

5.5Approve Continuation of Proclamation of the Existence of a Local Emergency Due to Pervasive Tree Mortality
Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection found that its aerial and group surveys in Napa and Lake County revealed widespread conifer mortality leaving trees vulnerable to insect attacks and fire damage. On March 28, 2022, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order No. 7-77, that states the ongoing drought will have significant immediate impacts on communities. In response, the Lake County Risk Reduction Authority created the Lake County Tree Mortality Task Force established to investigate and address the extensive tree mortality in the County caused primarily by wildfire, drought and insect damage.
The Lake County Tree Mortality Task Force members have attended several presentations from individuals with considerable expertise in both entomology and tree mortality, including Forest
Advisor Dr. Michael Jones, an entomologist from University of California Cooperative. The overriding message was that failure to actively address tree mortality could result in the potential loss or degradation of forest habitats and associated ecological impacts, including the impact of wildlife, water and soil. And as such, create dangerous wildfire conditions that also threaten the safety of persons and property and will likely extend beyond the capacity of public safety services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of this County.
This Resolution requests the following actions from Governor Newsom; 1) Proclaim a State of Emergency in Lake County and other afflicted areas of the State, 2) Seek designation of tree mortality areas within Lake County and other afflicted areas of the State under Section 8204 of the Agriculture Act of 2014 and seek additional Federal program support; and 3) Request a Presidential Declaration of Emergency or Major Disaster for this emergency.
Recommended Action
Approve Continuation of Proclamation of the Existence of a Local Emergency Due to Pervasive Tree Mortality
5.6Approve Continuation of Emergency Proclamation Declaring a Shelter Crisis in the County of Lake
Proclamation
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The Board of Supervisors originally approved an emergency declaration for shelter crisis on January 24, 2023. The proclamation cited the lack of beds available for those experiencing homelessness and would assist in allowing shelters to continue as well as new shelters to be initiated.
Due to the fact that the original proclamation discussed rain and snow as being part of the reason for declaring an emergency, a revised version of the emergency declaration is being brought back to the board to approve with revised recitals.
We are still short of beds needed to provide shelter for all of those who are experiencing homelessness. However, great strides are being made at both Behavioral Health and the Continuum of Care with the support of the Board of Supervisors to make progress in what is available.
Recommended Action
Approve Continuation of Emergency Proclamation Declaring a Shelter Crisis in the County of Lake

WHEREAS, the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) was enacted by Congress in 1978 to address the crisis affecting American Indian and Alaska Native children, families, and tribes due to the high number of children being removed from their homes and placed in non-Indian foster or adoptive homes, often far away from their communities and culture; and
WHEREAS, ICWA recognizes the inherent sovereignty of Indian tribes to determine the best interests of their children, aiming to keep Indian children connected with their families, communities, and cultural heritage; and
WHEREAS, ICWA establishes minimum federal standards for the removal and placement of Indian children and affirms the importance of tribal authority in child welfare matters, ensuring that Indian children are placed in homes that reflect the unique values and traditions of their culture; and
WHEREAS, the continued implementation and enforcement of ICWA are vital to the preservation of Indian tribes and the well-being of Indian children, providing them with a sense of identity and belonging that is essential for their development and success; and
WHEREAS, the area known as Lake County has been developed upon the ancestral homelands of Indigenous peoples who have continuously inhabited, utilized, and stewarded the land since time immemorial and is also the home to 7 Federally recognized tribes: Big Valley of Pomo Indians Elem Indian Colony, Habematolel Pomo of Upper Lake, Koi Nation of Northern California, Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California, Robinson Rancheria of Pomo Indians, and the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians; and
WHEREAS, we recognize and honor the resilience and strength of Indian tribes, families, and children, and commit to supporting the principles and practices established by ICWA; and
WHEREAS, on June 15, 2023 in the case of Haaland vs Brackeen, the United States Supreme Court decided to uphold and reaffirm the importance of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) by a vote of 7-2 where Justice Neil Gorusch stated "In adopting the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) Congress exercised that lawful authority to secure the right of Indian Parents to raise their families as they please; the right of Indian children to grow in their culture; and the right of Indian Communities to resist fading into the twilight of History."; and
WHEREAS, June 15, 2024, provides an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to the Indian Child Welfare Act, to raise awareness about its importance, and to celebrate the progress made in protecting the rights and cultures of Indian children.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT PROCLAIMED, that the Board of Supervisors of the County of Lake, hereby designates June 15, 2024, as a day to honor the Indian Child Welfare Act and encourage all citizens to learn about and support the principles of the Indian Child Welfare Act, recognizing its significance in safeguarding the future of Indian children and their communities.

Executive Summary
The County of Lake has been sponsoring 1Team 1Dream for the past 2 years. 1Team 1Dream offers an annual Lake County Business Competition. The $50,000 will support and help build a more resilient and sustainable small business economy in Lake County. The goal of the small business competition is to help build a resilient and thriving economy, a few small businesses at a time. The premise is that strong small businesses are the backbone of small rural economies, such as ours. The program prepares small businesses and entrepreneurs to become even more ready to fill commercial gaps throughout the County and to build a sustainable business.
Included in the competition is business training, business plan revisions, and more to help develop our local business owners. The selected finalists present to a panel of judges. They introduce their business and how they intend to invest the funds from their prize earnings to develop/grow their business. 1Team 1Dream has grown to offer two separate categories of businesses: established businesses and startup businesses.
Over the course of the past 4 years that 1Team 1Dream has been actively investing in our local businesses. 91 small businesses have gone through training, marketing, and a dynamic social media campaign. At the end of the competition, 1Team 1Dream has provided investment dollars to 27 local businesses: 6 in the City of Clearlake, 7 in the City of Lakeport, and 14 in the unincorporated area of Lake County. Last year's big winner and fan favorite was Tyrrel Martial Arts in Middletown whose plan was to expand his business into a new facility including the purchase of a van to pick up students to bring to his dojo.
One of the first winners of the competition, Lam Printing in Clearlake doubled their business after the competition and is currently seeking a new facility to grow their business some more.
The City of Lakeport grants $10,000, The City of Clearlake grants $30,000, and thus far the County of Lake has granted $30,000 to 1Team 1Dream as well. Currently, Budget Unit 1892, Marketing & Economic Development is budgeted with $30,000 to support 1Team 1 Dream's Lake County Business Competition. This year, we are requesting that the County increase that budgeted amount to $50,000.

CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL FINANCE AUTHORITY:
The CMFA was created on January 1, 2004 pursuant to a joint exercise of powers agreement to promote economic, cultural and community development, through the financing of economic development and charitable activities throughout California. To date, over 200 municipalities have become members of CMFA.
The CMFA was formed to assist local governments, non-profit organizations and businesses with the issuance of taxable and tax-exempt bonds aimed at improving the standard of living in California. The CMFA's representatives and its Board of Directors have considerable experience in bond financings.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Bonds to be issued by the CMFA for the Project will be the sole responsibility of the Borrower, and the County will have no financial, legal, moral obligation, liability or responsibility for the Project or the repayment of the Bonds for the financing of the Project. All financing documents with respect to the issuance of the Bonds will contain clear disclaimers that the Bonds are not obligations of the County or the State of California but are to be paid for solely from funds provided by the Borrower.
The Board of Directors of the California Foundation for Stronger Communities, a California non-profit public benefit corporation (the "Foundation"), acts as the Board of Directors for the CMFA. Through its conduit issuance activities, the CMFA shares a portion of the issuance fees it receives with its member communities and donates a portion of these issuance fees to the Foundation for the support of local charities. With respect to the City of Gilroy, it is expected that that a portion of the issuance fee attributable to the City will be granted by the CMFA to the general fund of the City. Such grant may be used for any lawful purpose of the City. The Borrower will be the beneficiary of the CMFA's charitable donation through a 25% reduction in issuance fees.
SUMMARY:
In light of the foregoing, and in order to support affordable housing, staff recommends that the County conduct the TEFRA Hearing and adopt the resolution in favor of the issuance of the Bonds by the CMFA.
Recommended Action
1) Conduct the public hearing under the requirements of TEFRA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

Executive Summary
In the past year, Lake County PEG has provided videography services for 39 Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) meetings. While PEG will not deny that technology, more specifically broadband, has been an issue with virtual hybrid capabilities, PEG has successfully been able to offer a robust recording and audio service to all MACs that have requested their services. PEG is continuing to invest in its equipment to overcome some of the obstacles and hiccups that we have experienced. However, it remains ready to continue to offer its services to provide transparency in Lake County MAC meetings with archived video of all meetings.
PEG has recently purchased a StarLink mobile unit in hopes to better connect to the internet in areas where broadband deployment does not meet the needs of PEG's hybrid virtual meeting requirements. PEG is working on a better finished product with introductions prepared for each MAC and a list of the board members and contact information for contacting the MAC. We are working on our YouTube channel and our Website to better organize the MAC video archives to easily and quickly access the meeting that viewers are seeking. PEG is also starting conversations on upgrading individual Town Halls for easier setup and a better recording product.
The agreement before the board offers to continue the PEG videography professional services for the next three fiscal years through June 30, 2027 with a maximum not to exceed $10,000 per fiscal year.

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.
