Proclamation
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
DESIGNATING JUNE 2025 AS
LGBTQIA2S+ 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 (LGBTQIA2S+) 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, LGBTQIA2S+ 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 LGBTQIA2S+ people have grown substantially, and 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 LGBTQIA2S+ citizens and while further progress is needed, it is important to recognize and celebrate the substantial gains that have been achieved; and
WHEREAS, several of Lake County's local elected leaders have not only represented their constituents but also the LGBTQIA2S+ 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 LGBTQIA2S+ community and serve Lake County with distinction; and
WHEREAS, while LGBTQIA2S+ 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, lesbian, gay, and bisexual communities within the Rural Association of Northern California Health Officers region (the eleven rural Northern California counties) face numerous disparities: elevated levels of poor health, increased smoking and heavy alcohol consumption, suicidal thoughts, higher poverty rates, significantly elevated Adverse Childhood Experiences rates, domestic violence, deferred medical care, and adverse weather-related health impacts. Alarmingly, half of this community has seriously contemplated suicide; and
WHEREAS, LGBTQIA2S+ 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 LGBTQIA2S+ people helping our nation to become a more perfect union in reaching our ideals proclaimed in the 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 2025 as LGBTQIA2S+ Pride Month in Lake County and calls upon its residents to eliminate prejudice everywhere it exists and celebrate the rich diversity of our communities.
Recommended Action
a) Adopt Proclamation Designating June 2025 as LGBTQIA2S+ Pride Month in Lake County, and b) Approve the LGBTQIA2S+ Pride Flag to be displayed at the County Courthouse for the Month of June

5.3Approve 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
5.4Approve 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
5.5Adopt a Proclamation Recognizing Kelseyville High School K-Corps Graduating Class of 2025
Proclamation

GRADUATING CLASS OF 2025
WHEREAS, Kelseyville Community Organization for Rescue and Public Service (K-CORPS) is a two-year program in which the student is selected based on strict criterion and academic abilities; and
WHEREAS, the students work directly with the Lake County Sheriff's Office and are on call for two years/24 hours a day; and

5.6(a) Adopt the Resolution Approving Unanticipated Revenue in BU 2601 Agricultural Commissioner in the amount of $153,160.00, and (b) amend the capital asset list of the 2024-2025 budget to include In-truck prover ($45,000) and a Water Meter Test Bench ($14,500)
Resolution
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The Lake County Agricultural Commissioner has received $153,160.00 in unrealized revenue this fiscal year. This is the result of unanticipated revenue received from Unclaimed Gas Tax (UCGT) and Department of Pesticide Regulation pesticide mill assessment disbursement.
This unanticipated revenue needs to be spent this fiscal year if the County expects to meet the Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirements set forth by the California Department of Food and Agriculture for receiving Unclaimed Gas Tax (UCGT) funds in FY 24/25. If the County does not meet the MOE requirement, UCGT funding could be jeopardized in FY 25/26. The UCGT is the largest single revenue source for the Agricultural Commissioner's budget.
These funds will be used to support the county aquatic weed program and to purchase equipment and other departmental needs including an in-truck prover for efficiently testing gas stations and a water test bench for efficiently testing water meters.
Recommended Action
(a) Adopt the Resolution Approving Unanticipated Revenue in BU 2601 Agricultural Commissioner in the amount of $153,160.00, and (b) amend the capital asset list of the 2024-2025 budget to include In-truck prover ($45,000) and a Water Meter Test Bench ($14,500)
5.7Approve Amendment No 1 Between County of Lake and Avero Advisors for Implementation Services; an Increase of $140,289, Total Compensation Not to Exceed $300,000, and Authorize the Chair to Sign
Agreement
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
In March of 2024, the Board approved an agreement between the Auditor-Controller Office (A-C Office) and Avero Advisors. During the subsequent budget hearings, the board approved appropriations of $300,000 for the Avero contract as an extraordinary request. As the Board is aware, the A-C Office is heading the Countywide Enterprise Resource Planning/Human Capital Management (ERP/HCM) update. The county's current software has not been replaced in over 20 years.
We contracted with Avero Advisors so that Avero would provide needs assessment, request for proposal, and implementation support. The original contract delineates these tasks in three phases. We have completed Phase 1: ERP Needs Assessment of the County and Phase 2: Request for Proposal Development Assistance and Selection Assistance. We are now in the beginning of Phase 3: Implementation Project Management Services.
Avero Advisors provided costs for Phase 1 and Phase 2 for a total cost of $159,711. We came under budget on Phase 1 and Phase 2, and we used those cost savings to get started on Phase 3. While the original contract listed Phase 3 tasks such as system configuration & integration oversight, system testing oversight, and end-user training, the original contract did not provide a cost breakout for Phase 3 because Avero Advisor's costs were dependent on the ERP/HCM software chosen.
The County selected Workday, and Avero Advisors has reviewed the contract and determined that Phase 3 will incur additional costs of $140,289. Phase 3 is the longest phase, and it includes implementation, go-live, and post go-live support.
While the A-C Office has made all efforts to educate themselves on ERP/HCM implementation best practices, we do not have experience in this subject to complete this project without the use of consultants. We also do not have the resources for the change management team generally required for a project of this magnitude. This is a multi-year but temporary project, so additional staff allocation isn't prudent. However, additional support and expertise is needed to ensure a successful implementation.
The County is making a large investment in the business process efficiencies, security, and transparency that the new software will facilitate, and the A-C Office wants to honor that investment by ensuring that the implementation is managed properly and that departments' needs are incorporated into the new ERP/HCM system.
Avero Advisors is a team who specializes in ERP implementation, and their services will have a positive impact on the overall success of this project.
Recommended Action
Approve Amendment No 1 Between County of Lake and Avero Advisors for Implementation Services; an Increase of $140,289, Total Compensation Not to Exceed $300,000, and Authorize the Chair to Sign

Executive Summary

5.9Approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Between the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA) and the California Department of State Hospitals for County Use of State Hospital Beds and Authorize the Behavioral Health Director to Sign the MOU.
Agreement
passed on consent
Staff memo
Purpose
The purpose of this agenda item is to seek the Board's approval for the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA) and the California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) for County use of state hospital beds. This MOU will outline the terms under which Lake County and other participating counties will utilize DSH facilities for patients requiring the highest level of psychiatric care, as defined by the Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) Act.
Background
This MOU addresses the use of state hospital beds for patients who are under LPS conservatorship and who require acute psychiatric care that cannot be provided in less restrictive settings. CalMHSA serves as the administrative agent for participating counties, negotiating the MOU terms with DSH and ensuring compliance with the terms of use. The MOU will be effective from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027, with negotiated bed rates for the fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. A new bed allocation methodology and associated rate increases have been incorporated for more equitable distribution of available beds.
Key Terms:
* Bed Types and Rates: The MOU specifies bed rates for three types of facilities-Acute Psychiatric Hospital (APH), Intermediate Care Facility (ICF), and Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF)-with a 4% increase for FY 2025-26 and 3.5% for FY 2026-27.
* Admission and Referral Process: Counties must follow the established referral process, including documentation submission and coordination with DSH staff. Counties will designate points of contact for managing referrals and patient prioritization.
* Discharge Planning: A shared goal between the County and DSH is to transition patients to the least restrictive setting as clinically appropriate, in alignment with state policies.
* Bed Allocation: The allocation of beds is based on a new, data-driven methodology that considers population size, historical bed utilization, and behavioral health needs. The County of Lake is assigned a total of 2 beds for LPS patients for FY 2025-26.
Financial Impact:
Lake County will reimburse DSH for the use of these beds, with costs based on actual bed usage. The bed rates for FY 2025-26 and 2026-27 are outlined in Exhibit 3 of the MOU, with a scheduled increase over the term of the agreement. The agreement also includes provisions for the management of bed availability and utilization, ensuring that the County only pays for the beds it uses.
Recommended Action
Approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Between the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA) and the California Department of State Hospitals for County Use of State Hospital Beds and Authorize the Behavioral Health Director to Sign the MOU.
5.10Approve a) Budget Transfer in Budget Unit 4014 – Behavioral Health of $514,650 from Inventory account 740.38-00 to Capital Asset account 740.63-13; and b) Amend the list of capital assets of the 2024-2025 budget to increase the South Shore Clinic to $681,250. and authorize the Chair of the Board to sign.
Action Item
pulled on consent
Staff memo
Purpose
To approve the budget transfer and increase in capital assets related to the South Shore Clinic expansion project, as required for compliance with the Bond BHCIP Round 1: Launch Ready funding and Program Funding Agreement (PFA).
Background
As part of the Bond BHCIP project, the South Shore Clinic is undergoing significant expansion, and funding for the project has been allocated from both the Opioid Settlement Funds (OSF) and MHSA funds. Due to adjustments in project scope and funding allocation, the following actions are required:
1. Budget Transfer:
o Transfer $681,250 from Professional & Specialize account (740.23-80) to Capital Asset account (740.63-13) in Budget Unit 4015 - Behavioral Health.
o This transfer ensures that the funds are properly designated for the clinic's expansion.
2. Increase in Capital Assets:
o Adding the South Shore Clinic capital asset listing in the 2024-2025 budget to reflect the updated project total of $681,250.
o This adjustment is necessary to accurately represent the value of the assets and the ongoing expansion work.
Financial Impact:
This budget transfer and capital asset increase are critical for aligning the project's funding sources and ensuring that the funds are available for the continued development of the South Shore Clinic expansion. The total match commitment for the project is $1,005,500, including both cash match and sunk costs.
Next Steps:
* Once approved, the budget transfer will be executed, and the capital asset list will be updated accordingly.
* The Chair of the Board will be authorized to sign the necessary documents related to the budget transfer and capital asset amendment.
Recommended Action
Approve a) Budget Transfer in Budget Unit 4015 - Behavioral Health of $681,250 from Professional & Specialized Account (740.23-80) to Capital Asset Account (740.63-13); and b) Amend the list of capital assets in the 2024-2025 budget to reflect the updated South Shore Clinic capital asset total of $681,250, and authorize the Chair of the Board to sign.

Agreement
passed on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
This memorandum seeks approval for Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement between Lake County and New Life Health Authority dba New Life, LLC, for the provision of Substance Use Disorder (SUD) services in Fiscal Year 2024-25. The amendment aligns with recent updates to the Medi-Cal Short Doyle aid code types and the corresponding federal financial participation (FFP) percentages as of December 2023. These updates reflect necessary changes to ensure continued compliance with state and federal funding mechanisms.
Under the DMC-ODS plan, Lake County is obligated to fund the provision of services to Medi-Cal beneficiaries enrolled in the program. As part of this plan, services rendered by New Life LLC are eligible for reimbursement through Medi-Cal and Medicare, based on the updated Aid Code Table, which now includes specific percentages for federal and state contributions.
Importantly, beneficiaries have the freedom to choose their service providers, and Lake County must honor this choice by ensuring that services rendered to any beneficiary under the Medi-Cal program, including those provided by New Life LLC, are covered within the scope of the DMC-ODS plan. This amendment ensures that the County is in full compliance with Medi-Cal's reimbursement and eligibility criteria, maintaining accurate financial reporting and timely reimbursement for services rendered.
The amendment includes no change to the total contract maximum but ensures that all services provided align with updated state regulations. This change is necessary for maintaining ongoing federal and state funding and ensuring the continued provision of high-quality services to Lake County residents who rely on these vital resources.
Recommended Action
Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement Between County of Lake and New Life Health Authority dba New Life LLC. for Substance Use Disorder Outpatient Drug Free Services, Intensive Outpatient Treatment Services, and Narcotic Treatment Program Services for Fiscal Year 2024-25 with no change to the contract maximum and authorize the Chair to sign.

WHEREAS, Lake County seniors and dependent adults are valued members of society, and it is our collective desire to ensure they live safely and with dignity; and
WHEREAS, Older Americans Month, established by the Administration for Community Living in 1963, is a time to recognize older Americans' contributions, highlight aging trends, and reaffirm commitments to serving the older adults in our communities; and
WHEREAS, the 2025 theme of Older Americans Month "Flip the Script on Aging," focuses on transforming how society perceives, talks about, and approaches aging, encouraging individuals and communities to challenge stereotypes and dispel misconceptions; and
WHEREAS, the population of Californians over 60 years of age is expected to increase 166 percent during the period from 2010 to 2060, inclusive, with more than one-half of the counties seeing a 100-percent increase in this age group; and
WHEREAS, research by the National Institute of Justice found that 11 percent of older adults reported experiencing at least one form of mistreatment in the past year, including emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation; and
WHEREAS, abuse of elder and dependent adults is a tragedy inflicted on vulnerable adults and an ever-increasing problem in today's society that crosses socio-economic boundaries; and
WHEREAS, combating the abuse of elder and dependent adults will help improve the quality of life for all citizens and will allow elder and dependent adults to continue to live as independently as possible and contribute to the vibrancy of life in Lake County; and
WHEREAS, Lake County is committed to raising awareness about issues facing elder and dependent adults and helping all individuals thrive in communities for as long as possible; and
WHEREAS, Lake County promotes building safer communities for all our citizens; and

WHEREAS, Elder and Dependent Adult Abuse Awareness Month in California aligns with World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, first established in 2006 and observed on June 15 every year and created to promote a better understanding of the cultural, social, economic, and demographic issues associated with abuse around the globe; and
WHEREAS, on June 10, 2019, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order No. N-14-19, calling for the development of a 10-year Master Plan for Aging (MPA) to serve as a blueprint for state government, local government, the private sector, and philanthropy to prepare the state for the coming demographic changes and continue California's leadership in aging, disability, and equity; and
WHEREAS, Goal 3 of the MPA, "Inclusion and Equity, Not Isolation," resulted in the establishment of the California Elder and Disability Justice Coordinating Council, which brings together agency representatives and stakeholders working to strengthen the system of services for older adults and dependent adult victims of abuse and neglect; and
WHEREAS, all Californians are strongly encouraged to report suspected abuse of an elder or dependent adult by calling their local adult protective services agency, local Long-Term Care Ombudsman program, law enforcement, or emergency services agencies.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED that the Lake County Board of Supervisors, along with the Lake County Department of Social Services, does hereby designate June 2025 as Older American and Dependent Adult Awareness Month.

Executive Summary
The Water Resources Department is requesting the approval to exceed the 900 hour extra-help limit for several ramp monitors Anthony DeBolt, John MacDonald, Robert Dragness, Frank Levings Jr., Wayne Moore, Kenneth Wikstrom, Justin Braider, Mark Duncan, Al Acrey and the two ramp coordinators Donald Purdy and Robert Valdez. Funds for these positions are allocated under Budget Unit 8109, and sourced through several State Division of Boating and Waterways Quagga Mussel Prevention grants, and a federal grant through the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Between these current grants, there are sufficient funds to cover these requests. If this request is approved, hours are not to exceed 999.
Water Resources Extra-Help ramp staff have been working this year since the season started in February, and have been working additional hours to maintain ramp coverage during a very busy fishing tournament season that is taking advantage of our very full lake. February through June is the busiest season for ramp monitoring as this period is when we see large volumes of boats that come into the county for pre-fishing prior to the majority of fishing tournaments. We have seen more tournaments this year with all public ramps being open and significant water levels that are generally expected to provide for good fishing conditions as well as other water-based events.
Thank you for your consideration on waiving the 900-hour limit for Extra-Help Water Resources ramp monitoring staff for Anthony DeBolt, John MacDonald, Robert Dragness, Frank Levings Jr., Wayne Moore, Kenneth Wikstrom, Justin Braider, Mark Duncan, Al Acrey and the two ramp coordinators Donald purdy and Robert Valdez.

Executive Summary
DESIGNATING JUNE 2025 AS
LGBTQIA2S+ 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 (LGBTQIA2S+) 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, LGBTQIA2S+ 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 LGBTQIA2S+ people have grown substantially, and 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 LGBTQIA2S+ citizens and while further progress is needed, it is important to recognize and celebrate the substantial gains that have been achieved; and
WHEREAS, several of Lake County's local elected leaders have not only represented their constituents but also the LGBTQIA2S+ 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 LGBTQIA2S+ community and serve Lake County with distinction; and
WHEREAS, while LGBTQIA2S+ 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, lesbian, gay, and bisexual communities within the Rural Association of Northern California Health Officers region (the eleven rural Northern California counties) face numerous disparities: elevated levels of poor health, increased smoking and heavy alcohol consumption, suicidal thoughts, higher poverty rates, significantly elevated Adverse Childhood Experiences rates, domestic violence, deferred medical care, and adverse weather-related health impacts. Alarmingly, half of this community has seriously contemplated suicide; and
WHEREAS, LGBTQIA2S+ 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 LGBTQIA2S+ people helping our nation to become a more perfect union in reaching our ideals proclaimed in the 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 2025 as LGBTQIA2S+ Pride Month in Lake County and calls upon its residents to eliminate prejudice everywhere it exists and celebrate the rich diversity of our communities.

Public Hearing
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The PLHA program is operated by the State HCD for the purpose of providing financial assistance to local governments to address unmet housing needs. The program required the county to submit a Five Year PLHA Allocation Plan. The county entered into an agreement with HCD in September 2023 which allocated all the yearly program allocations for 2019 through 2023 to the Collier Avenue housing project. This project then found other funding and only needed the allocations for 2019 and 2020, totaling $602,469, leaving a balance of $847,981 to be reallocated.
In December 2024 the county approved by resolution a memorandum of understanding between the County of Lake, City of Lakeport, and City of Clearlake authorizing formation of the Lake County Regional Housing Trust Fund for the purpose of addressing county wide housing needs in coordination with the two cities. The Regional Housing Trust Fund provides a mechanism to accumulate PLHA and other funds to be used for housing projects and programs. The county allocated $847,981 in PLHA funds in the MOU pending HCD approval. The attached resolution is required by HCD to obtain the approval to reallocate PLHA funds for 2021,2022, and 2023 from the Collier Avenue project to the Regional Housing Trust Fund by amending the existing Five Year PLHA Allocation Plan.

6.1011:15 A.M. - PUBLIC HEARING - Consideration of Proposed Ordinance Designating Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the Local Responsibility Areas in the Unincorporated Lands of Lake County
Public Hearing
Motion carried
Carried 5-0 — moved by Sabatier
Crandell: aye Owen: aye Pyska: aye Rasmussen: aye Sabatier: aye
Crandell: aye Owen: aye Pyska: aye Rasmussen: aye Sabatier: aye
Staff memo
Executive Summary
The Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) is required to classify lands within State Responsibility Areas (SRA) into Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ) of Moderate, High, and Very High fire hazard severity based on consistent statewide criteria and based on the severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas. In April of 2024, the FHSZ map for the state of California was adopted for the SRA.
Both the OSFM and CAL FIRE have now classified, evaluated, and recommended updates to the 2011 FHSZ in the LRA and released updated maps (Attachment 1) for a 90-day public review and comment period. The comment period started on April 12, 2025, with a press release issued by the Risk Reduction Authority (Attachment 2), with the maps available for review on the Ready.LakeCountyCA.gov website and at the Community Development Department (CDD). Public comment was received via email to CDD (Attachment 3).
What is new for this update is the incorporation of climate data. A 2-kilometer grid of climate data covering the years 2003-2018 has been used in this update. The previous model used stock
weather inputs across the state to calculate wildland fire intensity scores. The updated model will adjust fire intensity scores based on the most extreme fire weather at a given location considering temperature, humidity, and wind speed. In addition, ember transport has been modeled based on local distributions of observed wind speed and direction values instead of using a generic buffer distance for urban areas adjacent to wildlands.
This updated modeling also places an emphasis on the spread of embers. Embers spread wildfire because they can travel long distances in the wind and ignite vegetation, roofs, attics (by getting into vents), and decks.
All areas in the State Responsibility Area, including water bodies like Clear Lake, require a Fire Hazard Severity Zone designation. The 2007 FHSZ maps zoned all water as Moderate by default. For ease of viewing for Lake County residents, Clear Lake is shown as gray, (non-wildland), as areas of the shoreline have been designated as Moderate as well.
In the 2024 FHSZ model for the SRA, CAL FIRE added a buffer of FHSZ from the surrounding wildland into water bodies to account for potential threat of embers to buildings on docks and boats, as well as variation in lake height that occurs with drought.
Each jurisdiction is required to adopt the draft maps via ordinance. Amendments can be made to the map to increase the severity levels but not decrease them. The cities of Clearlake and Lakeport have already launched this process with their City Councils.
Recommended Action
Conduct a public hearing, approve the first reading of the ordinance, and advance the draft ordinance to a future meeting for adoption.
There was Board consensus to return with a letter.
On motion of Supervisor Sabatier, and by vote of the Board, continued the item to June 10, 2025 at 9:30 a.m. The motion carried by the following vote:

6.111:00 P.M. - Consideration of Presentation by North Coast Opportunities Home Hardening Program
Action Item
Staff memo
Executive Summary
Home hardening is the process of making a residence more resistant to wildfires and ember intrusion. It involves strengthening the structure with fire resistant retrofits and creating defensible space that could ignite during a wildfire. Home hardening is important because it increases a home's chances of surviving and reduces the flame spread to neighboring homes. With the rise in wildfires and climate-related disasters, home hardening is a key step in improving safety and resilience.
NCO Program Manager Deanna Fernweh will present to your board the following highlights of the Home Hardening Program:
* Partners & Funders
* Process of environmental clearances
* Process of vetting contractors
* Program status update
* Brief overview of home hardening for all community members
