As required by Government Code �7910 and in accordance with Article XIII B of the California State Constitution, the annual calculation of the appropriations limit of County and Special Districts under your authority is being submitted for your review and approval. In 1979, California voters approved Proposition 4, also known as the Gann Initiative. Proposition 4 added Article XIIIB to the California State Constitution, which subsequently resulted in the addition of Division 9 (beginning with section 7900) to Title I of Government Code. This addition to government code requires that the governing body of a local jurisdiction establish a tax appropriation limit each year using established factors and criteria. Proposition 111 approved by voters in June 1990 amended Article XIIIB and expanded the factors and criteria for limit calculations. The appropriation limit becomes the maximum for which a jurisdiction may spend based on the proceeds of tax that they receive in any given fiscal year. The County and the Special Districts under your Board authority have maintained compliance with annually established limit. The limit and the subject to limit calculations are performed by the Auditor-Controller's Office and are available for review at any time.

Lake County Behavioral Health Services (LCBHS), acting as the designated Mental Health Plan (MHP) under California's Medi-Cal Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS) program, is obligated to ensure access to medically necessary acute inpatient psychiatric hospital services for eligible Medi-Cal beneficiaries, in compliance with Title 42, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) �438.206(c)(1), California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 9, Section 1810.345, and Welfare and Institutions Code (W&I Code) �5600.4 and �5600.9. Due to the absence of an acute psychiatric hospital within Lake County, LCBHS must contract with out-of-county providers to meet its network adequacy standards (CCR, Title 9, �1810.435) and ensure timely care under federal and state Medicaid managed care requirements (42 CFR �438.68 and 42 CFR �438.207). Original Agreement (March 31, 2025): The Board of Supervisors approved an agreement (24.25.47) with BHC Fremont Hospital for the provision of acute inpatient psychiatric hospital services and associated professional services for Lake County Medi-Cal beneficiaries, with a not-to-exceed amount of $100,000 for FY 2024-2025. This agreement was structured to comply with federal and state regulations, including: * Title 9, CCR, Sections 1810.380 and 1810.385, regarding oversight and audit requirements; * 42 CFR Part 438, Subpart E, for program integrity and compliance; * The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, False Claims Act, and HIPAA (45 CFR Parts 160 and 164); * W&I Code �5325 et seq. for patient rights; * California Government Code �12920 et seq. and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act for non-discrimination. Amendment No. 1 (May 2025): Due to higher-than-anticipated utilization of services, the parties agreed to increase the contract maximum by an additional $100,000, resulting in a revised total not-to-exceed amount of $200,000 for FY 2024-2025. This amendment ensures continued access to critical inpatient psychiatric services for Lake County beneficiaries, aligning with network adequacy standards and the County's contractual obligations under its MHP agreement with the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), as governed by W&I Code �14712(c)(3) and the Special Terms and Conditions (STCs) of the Medi-Cal 1915(b) Waiver. Key Compliance Provisions: * The Contractor must maintain all required licenses and certifications (CCR, Title 9, �1810.435). * The Contractor must comply with federal and state confidentiality requirements, including 42 CFR Part 2, 45 CFR Part 164 (HIPAA), and W&I Code �5328. * Services must meet the standards outlined in the Community Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) and the Medi-Cal Provider Manual for SMHS. * Rates of reimbursement adhere to the Short-Doyle Medi-Cal claiming structure, with facility and professional fees clearly delineated.

The total revised agreement amount is $200,000, funded by Medi-Cal and realignment revenues, consistent with the County's budgetary authority. Payments will follow the fiscal provisions outlined in the agreement, including rates for specific populations and services, and adherence to billing and documentation requirements.

Staff recommends approval of the executive summary and the accompanying agreement and amendment documents for submission to the Board of Supervisors for final approval.

The original agreement between the County of Lake and 360 Junk Removal & Hauling for Abatement Services was approved by the Director of the Community Development Department and the Agreement for Abatement Services commenced on July 1, 2024. Since then, 360 Junk removal & Hauling has been a valuable partner to perform Abatement Services and were a vital partner in the success of the Free Dump Days hosted by the Community Development Department (CDD) in Nice. The capacity of 360 Junk removal & Hauling is above and beyond the capacity of the other Abatement Services Contractors and for this reason they are an important partner in performing large projects effectively and reliably. To ensure that we have the capacity to deliver on the CalRecycle Grant objectives to clean up Illegal Dumping in Lake County, it is vital we have the resources and expertise of 360 Junk Removal & Hauling available to us. On May 13th the Board approved Amendment One to the Agreement for Abatement Services, increasing the contract limit from $100,000 to $150,000. This has ensured we maintain the pace of abatements and Free Dump Days funded by the CalRecycle Grant. The success of the activities funded by the grant program and the speed at which 360 Junk Removal and Hauling is able to complete abatements has allowed for increases in abatements as well as successful Free Dump Days in Nice, Lucerne, and Clearlake Oaks. The Community Development Departments Code Enforcement Division has upcoming abatements scheduled to maintain the grant deliverables. In looking forward to planned Abatements and Free Dump Days through June 30, 2025, we anticipate we will exceed the current contract limit of $150,000. and for this reason we ask the Board to approve the increased annual compensation to not exceed $250,000. ensuring we do not experience any delays in executing planned abatements and we maintain the availability of 360 Junk removal & hauling at these illegal dumping cleanup sites and ensure the Community Development Department deliver on the grant goals.

The District Attorney's criminal case management system (CMS) is essential to the function of a DA's Office. It contains the information from many years of reports referred to the DA's Office for prosecution by local as well as State law enforcement agencies. The CMS is then used to create the documents needed when a case goes through the judicial system. Other County law enforcement agencies such as the Sheriff's Office and Probation, also use our system to look up the status of their cases. This particular vendor and product was selected mainly because of its wide use among California District Attorney Offices - approximately 30 other counties and cities use Prosecutor by Karpel (PbK). PbK will greatly improve the efficiency of our office by (1) hosting the CMS data on their secure cloud where we can store digital evidence, rather than use costly and time consuming CDs or flash drives; (2) allowing secure portals for defense attorneys to view their discovery and for law enforcement agencies to upload reports; and (3) providing our office a means to become less dependent on paper. It should be noted that one year after PbK has been fully implemented, an annual subscription cost of $66,750 will be due during the 2026-27 fiscal year. Attachments to the agenda item are: (2) The Solicitation Number Checklist for this purchase

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. This item was continued from June 3, 2025, due to an inadvertent omission of public input received during the public review period.

Conduct a public hearing, approve the first reading of the ordinance, and advance the draft ordinance to a future meeting for adoption.

The Lake County Air Quality Management District (District) is required to follow the legal process outlined in California Health and Safety Code in order to adopt new rules or fees, modify existing rules, and to repeal rules. This workshop and hearing is intended to start the process, in compliance with H&SC 42311. The District is proposing to repeal the existing fee rules and replace them with a new fee rule and structure. The new structure is intended to provide clarity and better transparency to the District fees. The District has not increased fees since 1996, other than implementation of the burn permit fee in 2003 and CPI adjustments. The costs of operation and requirements placed on the District have increased significantly more than CPI since then. Other rules proposed to be updated include the lifting of the burn ban, and necessary changes to the burn rules related to changes in Fire Agency participation in the burn program. The District is proposing to repeal several rules required to be repealed by EPA, as they are no longer enforceable and have been repealed by EPA during the past 2 years. This workshop and hearing is an opportunity to receive public comment and Board direction on the proposed changes, prior to submitting them to the State of California and EPA for comment. After which the final proposed rules will be brought back to the Board of Directors for consideration.

Accept public comment and provide direction to District Staff.

Lake County Behavioral Health Services (LCBHS), in collaboration with the Lake County Probation Department, seeks Board approval to submit an $8 million grant application to the California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) under the Proposition 47 Cohort 5 Request for Proposals. The proposed project expands permanent supportive housing, mental health and substance use treatment, and workforce development services for justice-involved individuals.

Proposition 47 reclassified certain non-violent offenses from felonies to misdemeanors and allocates resulting state savings to local projects that support mental health treatment, substance use services, and housing for justice-involved individuals. BSCC's Cohort 5 RFP prioritizes cross-sector collaboration, housing supports, job training, and civil legal services in alignment with AB 1056. Lake County's proposed project will: * Support construction of a 20-unit supportive housing development in partnership with Rural Communities Housing Development Corporation (RCHDC), leveraging $5 million in AB 109 funds already committed to the project. * Provide clinical treatment and case management through LCBHS, including Medi-Cal reimbursable services under the County's integrated agreement with DHCS. * Deliver workforce readiness training in partnership with North Coast Opportunities (NCO) through their BUILD program. * Enhance reentry support through dedicated Probation staffing and data coordination. The grant requires that at least 5% of awarded funds be allocated to an independent evaluation of project outcomes. Request Staff respectfully requests the Board: 1. Authorize submission of the Proposition 47 Cohort 5 Grant Application by Lake County Behavioral Health Services in partnership with the Probation Department. 2. Approve the Letter of Support for inclusion in the application (attached). 3. Authorize the Behavioral Health Director to sign the application and any related documents as required by BSCC.

If awarded, Lake County will receive $8,000,000 in additional funding over 42 months to support housing, treatment, and reentry services. This investment supplements existing resources and will not require additional County General Fund contribution.

The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1) provides funding for deferred maintenance on local street and road systems. The Department of Public Works (DPW) anticipates receiving funds in Fiscal Year 2025-2026 in the amount of $3,757,495.00. Pursuant to California Streets and Highway Code Section 2034, the County of Lake (County) is required to submit a list of projects to be funded to the California Transportation Commission before receiving funds under the program. 10-Year Pavement Rehabilitation Plan On May 23, 2023, the Board of Supervisor approved the adoption of the 2022 County Pavement Management Plan Update (PMP) and the 10-Year Pavement Rehabilitation Plan (Plan). The implementation of the Plan requires approximately $10 million annually, which the County has not secured. The County is unable to implement the current Plan due to the funding shortfall. The County, working with Lake Area Planning, intends to publish an updated Pavement Management Plan in 2028. Short-Term Pavement Rehabilitation and Infrastructure Work Plan Because the County is unable to implement the Plan, the Board of Supervisors directed the Public Works Director to prepare a short-term pavement rehabilitation and infrastructure work plan (Short-Term Plan). This Short-Term Plan focuses on projects that use SB1 funds for design and/or construction. DPW intends to seek grants for many projects shown on the SB1 Project List. A significant number of grant-funded projects are currently being designed, which are not included in this Short-Term Plan. All projects will be shown in the forthcoming Capital Improvement Plan. Except for the Lake County Bridges - Replacements and Repairs Projects, the SB1 projects were chosen from the Plan. Most projects in the Short-Term Plan have significantly smaller scopes of work compared to the projects in the Plan due to funding shortfalls. The short-term work plan addresses the following items: 1. Pavement Rehabilitation of the County's Minor Arterial Roads, the County's busiest roads. 2. Pavement Rehabilitation of roads in communities with roads having the lowest pavement condition index (PCI). 3. Replacement and repair of bridges with significant deficiencies. SB1 funds are often thought of as pavement rehabilitation funds; however, the County must utilize SB1 funds for bridges. DPW anticipates using SB1 funds for (1) all work on short span bridges (span length < 20 feet) and regular maintenance on long span bridges (span length > 20 feet) because few grants are available for this bridge work. Grants are available for the replacement and major rehabilitation of long-span bridges. Minor Arterial Road Projects Rehabilitating the two minor arterial roads in the County has regional significance as the roads connect state routes. DPW working with Lake APC will include the projects in the 2026 Regional Transportation Plan Update to increase the likelihood of securing grant funds. The Nice-Lucerne Cutoff Pavement Rehabilitation Project will rehabilitate 1 mile of the Nice-Lucerne Cutoff from the Rodman Slough Bridge to State Route 20. The PCI of that section of the Nice-Lucerne Cutoff is 12. The project budget is $1.2 million. The project is currently under design. The project will be "shovel-ready" in the fall of 2025. DPW will seek a grant to fund all or a portion of construction. The Nice-Lucerne Cutoff Pavement Rehabilitation Project was shown in Year 1 of the Plan. The Bottle Rock Road Pavement Rehabilitation Project will rehabilitate 10 miles of Bottle Rock Road from State Route 29 to State Route 175. The average PCI for Bottle Rock Road is 46 (ranging from 30 to 67). The project budget is $12 million. DPW anticipates the project will be constructed in multiple phases. DPW intends to request that the Board of Supervisor approve a contract amendment for designing the priority segment(s) in the Winter 2025-2026 so phase 1 of the project is shovel ready. DPW will seek grants to fund all or a portion of design and construction. The project will likely be phased due to availability of grant funds. The Bottle Rock Road Rehabilitation project is shown in Year 2 of the Plan. Community Roads Projects To determine the pavement rehabilitation phasing of community roads, DPW staff calculated the PCIs for 10 communities using the PCIs shown in the PMP. Staff calculated the following PCIs. Rank Community Average PCI Road Miles 1 Riveria Heights and Soda Bay Road 61 10.8 2 Upper Lake 45 5.4 3 North Lakeport 44 15.1 4 Middletown 37 8.1 5 Lower Lake 36 13.9 6 Kelseyville 34 15.3 6 Clearlake Oaks 34 16.2 7 Kelseyville Riveria 30 26.3 8 Lucerne 28 15.9 9 Nice 26 16.8 This list is subject to change and will be updated/modified to reflect recent chip seal work performed by the County's Road Division. No chip seal work has been performed in Nice or Lucerne since the publication of the PMP. DPW intends to address roads in communities with roads having the lowest average PCI first. Addressing the roads with the lowest PCIs will likely raise the County's overall PCI average faster than other alternatives, which is consistent with the goals of the Plan. The Nice Roads Pavement Rehabilitation Project will rehabilitate 4.4 miles of roads in the town of Nice. The average PCI for selected roads is 20 (ranging from 4 to 31). The project budget is $5 million. DPW intends to request that the Board of Supervisor approve a contract amendment for design of the project. DPW believes the project is an excellent candidate to receive grants funds and will seek grants for construction. Rehabilitation of roads in Nice is shown in Year 5 of the Plan. The Lucerne Roads Safety Improvements and Pavement Rehabilitation Project will rehabilitate approximately 4 miles of roads in the town of Lucerne. The project will focus on 3.4 miles of roads from 1st Avenue through 17th Avenue between State Route 20 and Country Club Drive. The average PCI for those roads is 16 (ranging from 4 to 23). Safety improvements are intended to reduce traffic accidents along State Route 20 and Country Club Drive. Because Caltrans' Lucerne Complete Street is currently in the planning phase, DPW would like to prepare a conceptual plan that incorporates public input as soon as practical so Caltrans may incorporate the County's future improvements into the Lucerne Complete Streets Project. As part of the development of the conceptual plan, DPW intends to prepare and present at least two conceptual plans to the public for input. DPW believes the project is an excellent candidate to receive grant funds and will seek grants for planning, design, and/or construction. Rehabilitation of roads in Lucerne is shown in Year 10 of the Plan. Lake County Bridges - Replacement and Repair Projects The County maintains approximately 120 bridges (80 long-span bridges (span length > 20 feet) and 40 short-span bridges (span length < 20 feet). Staff are currently developing a comprehensive Bridge Capital Improvement and Maintenance Plan that addresses repair and replacement work to be performed by Contractors and Road Division Staff. DPW will prioritize repairing or replacing: (1) existing bridges with temporary bailey bridges; (2) existing bridges that are closed; and (3) bridges that are excellent candidates for grant funding. The existing bridges with temporary bailey bridges are: 14C-0202 Thompson Creek Bridge (Highland Springs Road) and 14C-0204 Hill Creek Bridge (Merrit Road). The existing bridges that are out of service bridges are: 14C-0205 Hill Creek Bridge (Holdenried Drive) and 14C-0227 Morrison Creek Bridge (Foothill Road). DPW intends to request that the Board of Supervisors approve a contract for the design of the repair and/or replacement of bridges in the Fall 2025. Grant funds are available for the replacement and major rehabilitation of long-span bridges. SB1 funds may be utilized for the maintenance of long-span bridges and all work on short-span bridges.

The Public Works Director recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt the resolution adopting a list of projects for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 funded by SB1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

The district has received a grant for additional water supplies for Spring Valley. The funding is to install one well in Spring Valley. A test well must be drilled to ensure adequate water is found and to ensure that it meets state requirements related to water quality. Weeks Drilling and Pump Co. was awarded the initial Test Well contract on March 25, 2025. Weeks Drilling we hit water at about 300 feet providing about 100 gallons per minute (gpm). Due to the rock formations and drilling conditions, it was beneficial to drill deeper to increase the gpm. Weeks drilled to 560 feet and hit two different aquafers producing at least 200 gpm in total. The current plant produces about 180 to 200 gpm. The additional drilling cost is reflected in the attached Change Order in the amount of $133,400. This additional cost is covered by grant funding and no additional funds are needed to award the Change Order. Upon completion of the test wells, additional bids will be solicited to complete the production wells, connect them to the water system and install all necessary equipment. There is sufficient funding in the grant to complete the production well.

Award Change Order #1 to the Construction Contract with Weeks Drilling & Pump Co., for the Spring Valley Test Wells in the amount of $133,400.00 and Authorize the Administrator to Sign the Contracts.
