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.

Approve Continuation of Proclamation of the Existence of a Local Emergency Due to Pervasive Tree Mortality

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.

As your Board is aware, on February 27, 2024, your Board ratified the two-year compensation adjustment for the medical services in the Lake County Detention Facility agreement with California Forensic Medical Group (CFMG). Like many other medical providers, CFMG is facing a shortage of Registered Nurses (RN) and has requested their Agreement with the County of Lake be amended to allow use of Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) in place of RNs. Since LVNs are compensated at a lower rate, CFMG has agreed to credit the County for any difference in cost on their next monthly bill, pending your Board's approval. Per Section 56 of the agreement, the base compensation amount and per diem shall be adjusted each year consistent with the prior year's annual average percentage of the Medical Care Component of the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") for Urban Consumers, not to exceed 5.0%. Overall Compensation (Agreement Section 5) has been increased by 4.7%. Moving forward, annual increases will be tied to the Medical Index of the Consumer Price Index, not to exceed 5%. Application of the 4.7% increase revises the base annual amount for professional health care services rendered at the Lake County Adult Correctional Facility beginning January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024, from $3,947,351 to $4,132,876.50. The per diem will adjust from $4.50 to $4.71.

On October 8, 2023, Governor Gavin Newson signed Assembly Bill 1304 into law. This bill adjusts device registration fees for commercial weighing and measuring devices and became effective on January 1, 2024. The new statewide fee structure is the first comprehensive adjustment since 2012 and reflects the true cost of the regulatory program. This authority is found in the California Business and Professions Code, Section 12240. Weights and measures device registration fees partially cover the costs of a very important behind-the-scenes, consumer protection program. With very few exceptions, all weighing and measuring devices (meters and scales) used in commercial transactions are tested on an annual basis by department inspectors. Lake County has over 4,000 weighing and measuring devices that require annual testing. These meters and scales are tested for accuracy to ensure that Lake County consumers are getting what they pay for and that Lake County businesses are operating in a fair and equitable business environment. Department inspectors also frequently investigate consumer complaints.

In 1996 the Lake County Sheriff's Office received two M113A2 Armored Personnel Carriers (APC), with the assistance of the United States Marshalls Service, from the DRMO program. (serial #s C4946 & C5056). Neither M113A2 was added nor is currently listed on the Sheriff's Office fixed asset inventory. In 2014 M113A2 serial #C4946 was transferred to the Solano County Sheriff's Office. The Lake County CAO's office was notified of the transfer via a memorandum from the Sheriff's Office on March 14th, 2014. This M113A2 has since been donated by the Solano County Sheriff's Office to a military museum. A search of archived Board of Supervisor minutes for May and June of 1996 was conducted by Sheriff's Office staff. No record of the Board of Supervisors accepting the M113A2s from the DRMO program could be located. M113A2, #C5056, currently in the possession of the Lake County Sheriff's Office has not been operational for several years. The M113A2, in its current condition, is of no value to the Sheriff's Office and the cost to repair and maintain the M113A2 outweighs any potential value it may have. On June 26th, 2024, Command Sergeant Major Janice R. Barnes-Cabassa from the LESO program (replacement program for DRMO) was contacted regarding the return/disposal of the M113A2. The Sheriff's Office was advised the LESO program has no record of the M113A2 and no interest in it. In June of 2024, the American Armory Museum (AAM), Fairfield Ca, a 501(c)(3) recognized museum was contacted regarding the transfer of the M113A2 to them. AAM currently possesses numerous military vehicles including several armored vehicles and an earlier variant of an M113. A sight visit was conducted to verify their museum status. Sheriff's Office staff were put in contact with Doug Boales, President of Eagle Field Educational Foundation, Moffett Field Museum, Santa Clara, Ca. Mr. Boales verified the M113A2 possessed by the Sheriff's Office is not regulated by the State Department's Directorate of Defense Controls, ITAR, or USML and may be possessed by museums and private collectors. AAM has agreed to transport the M113A2 to their museum at no cost to the Sheriff's Office or County of Lake.

While Clear Lake is the jewel of Lake County, there has not been a dedicated Clear Lake science conference or symposium in Lake County in 25 years. It's time for a comprehensive Clear Lake Integrated Science Symposium to showcase the research and management that has been occurring in the lake and watershed. The Clear Lake Integrated Science Symposium (CLISS 2024) will be held August 15th and 16th, 2024. Main sessions will be at Robinson Rancheria Conference Center with additional concurrent sessions being held at Habematolel Meeting Hall on Main Street in Upper Lake, CA. Daytime activities include traditional sessions, Q&A panels, and workshops on various topics ranging from the Superfund Sulfur bank Mercury studies and management, Clear Lake Hitch, Clear Lake Water Quality Monitoring, Harmful Cyanobacteria and Algal Blooms, Flora and Fauna, Invasive Species, and In-lake and Landscape Management and mitigation strategies. Evening activities include a Thursday evening networking poster reception, at Robinson, that will allow time and space for the public to interact and engage with researchers, managers, and scientists while learning about projects being displayed on posters. Friday evening activities will continue at Soper Reese Theater, in Lakeport, and will include a Clear Lake mini-science documentary premier "Big Lake, Big Science" and Lake County's first Science Slam. This will provide another opportunity for the public to learn about science occurring in Clear Lake and the basin. This event is free, but registration is requested to ensure food & drink accommodation and associated materials for in-person attendees. Motivation for CLISS Clear Lake is important to Lake County ecologies and economies, yet over time, the Lake has been impacted by land use changes, development, pollution, and climate change. Identifying how these factors have influenced Clear Lake's form and function is an important research question that requires dedicated space and time to explore. The management and solutions needed to improve Clear Lake conditions, and the ecosystems that depend on a vibrant, healthy, and natural lake, should be identified and discussed with scientific consensus and within an open forum that is accessible by and for the public. The Clear Lake Integrated Science Symposium aims to meet this objective, and more, and will be an essential information exchange opportunity for scientists and managers from the county, tribes, state and federal agencies, universities, NGOs and private environmental organizations, to educate the public and each other, to improve the future of Clear Lake and Lake County. Lake County Watershed Protection District staff is requesting 15 minutes to present the symposium to the Board of Directors / Supervisors and the public. Please see attachments: Main CLISS Poster, with event sponsors Thursday Evening Poster and Networking Reception Friday Night Film Poster

The proposed tobacco retail license ordinance aims to regulate the sale of tobacco products within our community. By requiring retailers to obtain a license, Lake County can effectively monitor and enforce compliance with laws regarding age restrictions, product sales and product safety. This initiative not only promotes public health by reducing youth access to tobacco but also enforces state regulations. Tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable disease, disability, and death in the United States. Commercial Tobacco cost Californians annually $9.8 Billion in Health Care Costs, $1.4 Billion in Lost Productivity, $3.8 Billion costs to the Medi-Cal program, and $41 Billion for Tobacco Product Waste Cleanup. Policies like this address the youth vaping epidemic including health risks of Tobacco Products, and effects of tobacco litter on the environment!

Creative Alternatives operates many facilities for youth, including Short Term Residential Treatment Programs (STRTP). California Assembly Bill 1051 now requires the Mental Health Plan (MHP) of Original Jurisdiction to maintain responsibility for the cost of Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS) provided out of County, in most circumstances. As such, we expect a significant increase in contracts with out-of-County STRTP SMHS fee-for-service. We are working closely with the Probation Department, Child Welfare Department, and the Lake Count Office of education to ensure we are notified timely of STRTP placements. These three agencies are the placing agencies in our community. These costs are billed fee-for-service and are fully Medi-Cal reimbursable. We have conducted a Risk Assessment and Request for Qualifications with the providers to ensure they are in good standing.

The Lake County Department of Social Services (LCDSS) currently has two separate contracts in place with the California Department of Social Services (CDSS). One for the provision of Agency Adoption Services, and one for Resource Family Approval (RFA) Family Evaluations. CDSS is requesting that we merge these two contracts. The RFA program is a unified, family friendly, and child-centered process that helps to provide more placement opportunities for foster children and reduces the likelihood they are placed in a group home. The family evaluations include interviews of applicants to assess their personal history, family dynamic, and a need for support or resources, and a risk assessment. CDSS is the only entity other than the County, that can perform Adoption Services which includes case management, assessments of children and prospective adoptive parents, completion of reporting requirements, medical and social background checks, the provision of relinquishment services for birth/legal guardians, and other related adoption services as needed. CDSS's role is essential for the continued functionality and success of these programs; contracting these services to CDSS has served Lake County well. This agreement combines both existing contracts into a single contract. Agreement #23-5021 A1 was presented to the Board of Supervisors on July 23, 2024. However, due to a discrepancy between the amendment's resolution and its action item in determining the authorized signatory, the amendment must be presented to the Board again for full execution. This memo provides clarifying language, affirming that the LCDSS Director has authority to sign the standard agreement.
