As your Board is aware, as OES Director, I declared a Local Emergency in response to the Glenhaven Fire, which ignited October 4, 2024, near Hwy 20 and Glenhaven Drive in Glenhaven, CA. Over 400 acres burned, threatening over 2,000 structures and resulting in mass evacuations.

Staff memo
Executive Summary
a) The emergency proclamation continuations were accidently left off the October 22nd meeting. Cal OES states that renewal of the resolution should occur every 60 days until terminated. I learned that there will not be a meeting on November 19th due to lack of quorum so I am requesting these be taken up as extras.
b) 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
a) Approve taking up this item as an extra as it came up after the posting of the agenda and needs to be taken up before the next meeting.
b) Approve Continuation of Proclamation of the Existence of a Local Emergency Due to Pervasive Tree Mortality
b) On motion of Supervisor Pyska, and by vote of the Board, approved Continuation of Proclamation of the Existence of a Local Emergency Due to Pervasive Tree Mortality. The motion carried by the following vote:

I learned that there will not be a meeting on November 19th due to lack of quorum so I am requesting these be taken up as extras.
b) 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
a) Approve taking up this item as an extra as it came up after the posting of the agenda and needs to be taken up before the next meeting.

5. Approval of the Consent Agenda
5.1Adopt Proclamation Designating November 2024 as National Native American Heritage Month in Lake County
Proclamation
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
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 landholdings, 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 an annual Presidential Proclamation on the 31st of October stating 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 BE IT PROCLAIMED, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Lake, do hereby designate the month of November 2024, National Native American Heritage Month in Lake County, California.
Recommended Action
Adopt Proclamation Designating the Month of November 2024 as National Native American Heritage Month in Lake County

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 4,500 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.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT PROCLAIMED, the Board of Supervisors recognize the legacy of loyalty, service, and sacrifice of our veterans to both our country and to our local communities. The Board 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 4-11, 2024. By shining a green light, the County of Lake and our residents will let veterans know that they are seen, appreciated, and supported.

Action Item
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
NACo's National Association of County Veterans Service Officers (NACVSO) is inviting all 3,069 counties across the country to join them in Operation Green Light. By lighting up our County Courthouse green, Lake County will be joining hundreds, if not thousands, of other counties nationwide to show their support for veterans.
During the week of November 4 - 11, 2024, I am requesting that the Board consider joining Operation Green Light and lighting up our courthouse green during that time period. This would be our third time honoring our veterans in this manner and I hope to continue this tradition for the foreseeable future.
Lake County is home to approximately 4500 veterans, representing 7% of our population. The sacrifice, courage, and grit of our veterans to protect our freedoms and the ideals of the United States of America are second to none and should not go unnoticed.

6.49:05 A.M. - Presentation of Proclamation Designating November 2024 as National Native American Heritage Month in Lake County
Proclamation
Staff memo
Executive Summary
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 landholdings, 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 an annual Presidential Proclamation on the 31st of October stating 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 BE IT PROCLAIMED, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Lake, do hereby designate the month of November 2024, National Native American Heritage Month in Lake County, California.

6.811:00 A.M - PUBLIC HEARING - Hearing for the Lake County Hospital Improvement District
Public Hearing
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The Lake County Hospital Improvement District (LCHID) would be a business-based assessment of the two hospitals in Lake County - Sutter Lakeside Hospital and Adventist Health Clear Lake (Hospitals). If another general acute care hospital were established in Lake County it would also be part of the LCHID. These two Hospitals petitioned the County to form the LCHID by utilizing the Property and Business Improvement Law of 1994. If approved, the initial term of the LCHID would be five years and renewals could be up to ten years. The County would retain a fee of 1% of the collected assessment to cover the administration costs of the LCHID. Attached is the Management District Plan with language from the Treasurer-Tax Collector on the County's administrative fee for the LCHID. The Hospitals anticipate the assessment would boost their Federal Financial Participation ("FFP") reimbursement from the Federal Government for Medi-Cal patients. The Hospitals plan to utilize the increase in FFP for both financial stability and increase in services.
The establishment of a business-based assessment district requires a resolution of intention, then a public meeting, then a public hearing, and finally a resolution of formation. The Board of Supervisors passed a resolution of intention on September 10, 2024, a public meeting was held on October 22, 2024, and it is anticipated that the resolution of formation will be considered by the Board of Supervisors on November 19, 2024. Attached is a draft annual report template for the LCHID. The Hospitals would provide the Board of Supervisors an annual report for the LCHID reporting how much assessment was collected and how the funds were employed.
Recommended Action
No Board action is required at this moment.
There was Board consensus to add reporting for Medical information to the annual report.

Action Item
Motion carried
Carried 5-0 — moved by Simon

Crandell: aye Green: aye Pyska: aye Sabatier: aye Simon: aye
Staff memo
Executive Summary
On August 15, 2023, the Lake County Board of Supervisors approved a Memorandum of Understanding between the Mendocino County Air Quality Management District and the Lake County Air Quality Management District for Interim Air Pollution Control Officer Services. Examples of these services include: permitting stationary sources, grant program oversight, review and signature of official reports and grant programs, prescribed and open burn program, attending meetings, and budget management.
These services were agreed to be paid for at a maximum not to exceed 10 hours per week at a rate of $113.50 per hour with a maximum not to exceed $28,284 for the term of the MOU. The term of the MOU was to terminate as of January 31, 2024.
The origins of this MOU was due to Mendocino County not having a Mendocino County Air Quality Management District Director. They requested our assistance with our Lake County Air District Director working as an Interim Mendocino County Air District Director while they worked on recruiting.
During this time, an amendment to the MOU was approved on February 6, 2024. This extended the MOU through June 30, 2025 and increased the total compensation to a maximum not to exceed $113,136. A reason for this amendment was to have time to train the newly recruited Mendocino County Air District Director.
There are just under 8 months of the MOU's term left until June 30, 2025. However, we have had discussions at the Board of Supervisors trying to help our Lake County Air District who is experiencing high levels of vacancies, and are now offering stipends and hiring incentives to try and assist in filling those vacancies. Additionally, the Air District office is closed to public access outside of appointments so as to help with the lack of staffing able to pause their work and greet the public and provide assistance to them.
There are over 700 renewal permits to complete. State and Federal mandates and health risk are being prioritized while processing new permits is not the first priority and can take up to 180 days to get approved.
A discussion about the MOU with Mendocino County is necessary. There is potential Lake County residents/businesses who may be seeking improvements to our county for demolition permits, grant approvals or construction approvals. Is the Mendocino County MOU ideal considering the concerns presented by the Lake County Air District regarding their vacancies and lack of capacity to fulfill approvals? We hope to discuss the value of continuing this MOU and whether or not we should seek to terminate it or finish the term.
Recommended Action
Direct staff to terminate the MOU with Mendocino County Air Quality Management District.
On motion of Director Simon, and by vote of the board, moved to direct staff to terminate the MOU with Mendocino County Air Quality Management District effective December 31, 2024. The motion carried by the following vote:
