5.2Approve 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
5.3Approve 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
5.4Adopt Resolution Approving Amended MOU Between County of Lake and Lake County Resource Conservation District for Management of Goatsrue in Lake County for July 1, 2023, through December 31, 2027, in the Amount of $72,716.00
Agreement
pulled on consent
Staff memo
Executive Summary
We do not have the resources to oversee and manage the Goatsrue eradication project based on current staffing levels. The Agriculture Department has been awarded grant funding from CDFA for this project in which the Lake County Resource Conservation District (LCRCD ) is listed as a contractor/consultant. This MOU is needed with the LCRCD to maintain eradication efforts. This noxious weed is found in the Scotts Creek Watershed and is one of two known locations in the state.
The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) has identified Goatsrue as an "A" rated weed. An "A" rating is a pest of known economic or environmental detriment and is either not known to be established in California or it is present in a limited distribution that allows for the possibility of eradication or successful containment.
Should the board approve this resolution, please have the chair sign, and return one original copy of the MOU, one copy of the board resolution, and return them to the Department of Agriculture for processing. A signed complete copy will be returned for your records.
Recommended Action
Adopt Resolution Approving Amended MOU Between County of Lake and Lake County Resource Conservation District for Management of Goatsrue in Lake County for July 1, 2023, through December 31, 2027, in the Amount of $72,716.00

Staff memo
Executive Summary
Staff is requesting the Board of Directors of the Lake County Watershed Protection District, approve the attached Amendment to an existing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Lake County Watershed Protection District (District) and the local, non-profit Tribal EcoRestoration Alliance (TERA) organization to conduct much-needed conservation land and water management efforts in Lake County.
This contract outlines services TERA would be conducting for the District, and the District would be paying TERA for these services. The attached MOU and scope of work (ATTACHMENT A) identifies the specific tasks, grant projects, restoration needs, and anticipated future projects.
This item is not expected to be controversial; therefore we are requesting this item to be placed on the Consent Agenda.
The attached MOU supersedes the previous MOU dated June 4, 2024, as well as the prior memorandum on file under #24-612. The District and TERA have collaborated on several impactful grant-funded projects, including shoreline restoration, levee and creek vegetation maintenance, native plant community restoration and rearing, and planning for cultural and invasive plant burning. These essential efforts have been made possible through TERA's partnership, helping the District overcome staffing and capacity limitations to complete work that would otherwise not be feasible. Both parties are appreciative of this collaboration and remain committed to cross-disciplinary knowledge sharing and to advancing a shared vision of healing the land and strengthening our communities.
Staff is requesting that the Board waive the competitive bidding process and approve an amendment to the existing contract with TERA, in accordance with Lake County Code Section 38.2, as it is not in the public's interest to competitively bid this project, due to:
38.2 (2) The unique nature of the goods or services precludes competitive bidding because TERA provides an experienced conservation-focused, culturally-relevant, and dedicated stewardship role on all their projects; and
38.2 (3) The competitive bidding process would not produce an economic benefit to the County because TERA is a 501c3 (Federal EIN: 99-1079532, CA SSID: 6085557) non-profit organization and provides their contracted services at cost.
As during the last MOU period, when possible and where eligible, outside funding and grants are being used and pursued to support the project tasks within the scope of work. For example current grants from the Department of Pesticide Regulation, Blue Ribbon Committee for the Rehabilitation of Clear Lake, California Natural Resources Agency, Wildlife Conservation Board, and CA Department of Water Resources are currently available to fund TERA. Future or planned funds might be sourced from grants and funding agreements through Westside IRWMP, NRCS, US Fish and Wildlife Service, CA Department of Fish and Wildlife, State Water Board, and Cal-Fire. Internal District funds will be used to supplement or support these outside funding sources when needed.
Recommended Action
(a) Waive the formal bidding process, pursuant to Lake County Code Section 38.2, as it is not in the public interest due to the unique nature of the goods and services, and (b) Authorize the County of Lake Water Resources Director to sign an Memorandum of Understanding agreement between the Lake County Watershed Protection District and the Tribal EcoRestoration Alliance for the time period of June 1, 2024 - December 31, 2026.

Staff memo
Executive Summary
In 2011, the Water Resources Department identified areas around Clear Lake to be managed for nuisance aquatic plant growth. The total surface area of the lake treated annually for aquatic plants has never exceeded 260 acres (0.6% of Clear Lake's total surface area) and varies annually according to peak aquatic plant growth. Treatment areas are selected based on several conditions, including: density of shoreline occupation, presence of especially troublesome invasive plants, habitat value, and historic recreational uses.
Per Board request, in 2022, The County of Lake Water Resources Department distributed a Request for Proposals (RFP) to identify the best qualified aquatic plant contractors to conduct lake-wide management services in Clear Lake. Only one company responded with a full proposal to the RFP: Clean Lakes, Inc. Therefore, this company was selected as the preferred contractor to complete the Aquatic Plant Management at Public Access and High Use Recreational Areas in Clear Lake, Lake County, CA project.
The proposed contractor, Clean Lakes Inc., utilizes GPS-based hydro acoustic mapping to ensure accuracy of application location and rate, and an efficacy map of before and after treatment. Over the last ten years, Water Resources Staff has worked closely with Clean Lakes Inc. to evaluate performance, efficacy of treatment and compliance with the State's and County's Aquatic Pesticide NPDES permit and County's own permitting program, including all monitoring requirements.
For the last twelve years, the County Board of Supervisors has set aside funding for the abatement of nuisance aquatic plants in selected high-traffic, public use areas of Clear Lake as part of an overall strategic invasive species management program. The contract total for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 is $271,210 and is funded with Geothermal and Transient Occupancy Tax money. At the direction of the board, this contract will remain on a five-year basis, with annual amendment based on the available funds for that years' treatment. We are currently in the third year of this proposed five-year contract period.
Recommended Action
Approve the Agreement between County of Lake and Clean Lakes, Inc. for the Aquatic Vegetation Management Program for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 not to exceed an amount of $271,210 and authorize the Chair to sign.
On motion of Supervisor Sabatier, and by vote of the Board, approved consent agenda items 5.1 through 5.8 with the exception of items 5.4 and 5.7 which were pulled for further discussion. The motion carried by the following vote:

6.511:00 A.M. - (Sitting as the Lake County Air Quality Management District Board of Directors) Consideration of the Continued Discussion of the Draft Replacement Fee Schedule (Rules 660-668)
Action Item
Staff memo
Executive Summary
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 repeal rules. This is a continuation of the discussion from the
workshop and hearing held on June 10, 2025.
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 fee rule proposed is considered a new rule under CA H&SC
41512.7. The District has not increased fees since 1996, other than implementation of burn
permit fees in 2003 and annual CPI adjustments. The costs of operation and requirements
placed on the District have increased significantly more than CPI since then.
The attachments provided include the fee study summary based on staff time to perform
tasks, a fee comparison of existing permitted sources and the total proposed new fees, and
the proposed implementation schedule for existing permitted sources. The recommendation
proposes to implement the fees for existing permitted sources over 3 years. The initial fee
increase for existing sources would not take affect until 2026 thus allowing time for EPA
and ARB approval and for District staff to implement the conversion.
Recommended Action
Accept public comment and approve District Staff submittal of proposed rules to ARB and EPA for comment and to bring the final rules back to the Board of Directors for consideration of adoption.
This item was continued to the July 22, 2025 Board of Supervisors Meeting.

Ordinance
Motion carried

Crandell: aye Owen: aye Pyska: absent Rasmussen: aye Sabatier: aye
Staff memo
Executive Summary
As you will be aware, our predecessor Board of Supervisors directed staff work with a Task Force to develop recommended changes to portions of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance that comprise the "Cannabis Ordinance." That Task Force provided preliminary advice to the Community Development Department (CDD) and was disbanded by our Board on March 18, 2025. CDD staff are now drafting a new Article 73 to Chapter 21 of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance.
However, I have significant concern moving forward with additional permitting of Cannabis operations in the absence of appropriate regulation is not in the interest of our County and the residents we were elected to serve. For our legal industry to thrive, and for permitted businesses to be viable, regulations need to be clear and well understood. Pausing permit issuance and taking reasonable time to amend and adopt zoning regulations, as needed, make good sense.
Therefore, I recommend our Board make necessary Findings and Adopt an Interim Urgency Ordinance placing a Moratorium on issuance of Use Permits for commercial cannabis cultivation, in the interest of protecting the public health, safety, and welfare of Lake County.
Staff has advised, Pursuant to Section 65858 of the California Government Code, a four-fifths (4/5) vote is necessary to Adopt this Interim Urgency Ordinance. Thank you all for considering this urgent action.
Recommended Action
Adopt the Interim Urgency Ordinance placing a Moratorium on the Issuance of Use Permits for Commercial Cultivation of Cannabis within the Unincorporated area of the County of Lake.

Executive Summary
Lake County selected Workday as the county's new Enterprise Resource Planning/Human Capital Management (ERP/HCM) software. Workday is a robust software that offers a bevy of options when it comes to financial and human resource configuration.
The county's current software has not been replaced in over 20 years, and the Auditor-Controller, Treasurer-Tax Collector, and Human Resources departments have developed a variety of procedures throughout the years which ensure that proper internal controls are in place, and that our various systems accurately reflect the data we use for reporting.
Every year, the county is audited per governmental requirements. Our current external auditors, CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (CLA), also offer consulting services on ERP/HCM implementations which, for us, adds a level of assurance to our implementation. We are ensuring that our new software is being configured in a manner that meets audit requirements while also modernizing our capabilities.
CLA has offered professional services such as providing recommendations for Workday chart of accounts structure, state reporting configurations, and accounting report designs. Additionally, CLA is reviewing our current state of affairs so necessary components of our current structure are properly translated into Workday's structure to ensure that we can maintain accurate, timely, and compliant financial, state, and federal reporting.
We have a small team with regular day-to-day duties, and we want to ensure that the implementation is a net gain for the County. The accounting and advisory services being provided by CLA will contribute to successful implementation, and their use will prevent the need for additional staffing.

Executive Summary
Lake County Behavioral Health Services (LCBHS) is requesting Board approval of a five-year agreement with Kno'Qoti Native Wellness, Inc. (KNWI) in the amount of $1,000,000, funded through the County's Opioid Settlement Funds (OSF). This contract was awarded through a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP No. 25-1138), in alignment with the County's Opioid Settlement Funds Expenditure Plan and the High Impact Abatement Activities (HIAA) framework established by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS).
This agreement supports the implementation and expansion of KNWI's ElevateED Program-a culturally grounded youth prevention and leadership initiative focused on reducing opioid and substance misuse among transitional age youth (TAY) and other at-risk populations in Lake County, with particular attention to Native youth.
The ElevateED Program includes:
* School-Based Prevention Outreach to middle and high school students across Lake County.
* Peer Mentorship and Leadership Development to empower youth as health ambassadors.
* Community Wellness Events and intergenerational engagement to support families affected by opioid misuse.
* Cultural Education and Resilience Building using traditional Native wellness practices.
KNWI will collaborate with local schools, tribal organizations, and LCBHS to deliver evidence-informed prevention strategies and increase access to youth-friendly services that foster protective factors, build cultural identity, and prevent substance use disorders. Phase 1 deliverables, including initial school outreach and peer mentor training, must be completed by November 30, 2025.
The contract includes strict performance expectations, including:
* Quarterly reports documenting youth participation, program activities, and measurable outcomes;
* An annual evaluation assessing impact, engagement, and alignment with County prevention goals;
* Detailed fiscal documentation and a reimbursement-only payment structure tied to actual deliverables;
* Full compliance with all applicable federal and state regulations, including HIPAA, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
KNWI is a Native-led organization based in Lakeport, CA, and has demonstrated strong community partnerships and organizational readiness to implement culturally competent behavioral health programming. This agreement affirms the County's commitment to equity in service access and the use of opioid settlement dollars for youth prevention, per guidance from the National Opioid Abatement Trust, California Attorney General, and relevant legal settlements.
Approval of this agreement will ensure the County continues to invest in upstream prevention, build youth leadership capacity, and strengthen culturally relevant behavioral health infrastructure in communities most impacted by the opioid crisis.

Executive Summary
Lake County Behavioral Health Services (LCBHS) is requesting Board approval to enter into an agreement with Crestwood Behavioral Health, Inc. for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. This agreement, not to exceed $1,200,000, provides essential access to Adult Residential Support Services and Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS) for Lake County Medi-Cal beneficiaries with serious mental illness (SMI) and co-occurring disorders who require a structured, intensive treatment environment.
In Fiscal Year 2024-2025, Crestwood served 20 unduplicated Lake County clients across various levels of care, supporting complex discharge planning needs and offering a critical step-down option from inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. The vast majority of these individuals are on LPS Conservatorship. These placements reduce unnecessary hospitalization and help stabilize individuals in community-based settings appropriate to their level of need.
Crestwood operates over 35 licensed facilities across California, including Adult Residential Facilities, Social Rehabilitation Centers, and Psychiatric Health Facilities (PHFs). These facilities provide a continuum of care, including recovery-oriented treatment, trauma-informed rehabilitation, geropsychiatric care, and services for individuals with neurobehavioral conditions.
This contract supports the County's obligations under the Mental Health Plan (MHP) as defined in the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 9, and is consistent with Medicaid Managed Care requirements under 42 CFR Part 438. As a designated MHP, LCBHS is responsible for ensuring that medically necessary SMHS are provided to eligible beneficiaries in accordance with the 1915(b) Waiver, the State's Medi-Cal Specialty Mental Health Services Consolidation Waiver, and associated Special Terms and Conditions issued by the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS).
Crestwood shall adhere to all federal and state compliance requirements, including but not limited to:
* CCR, Title 9, Sections 1810.435, 1850.210 - Provider selection, compliance, and grievance processes
* Welfare & Institutions Code �5325 - Client rights
* HIPAA and HITECH Act - Protection of health information
* 42 CFR ��422.128, 438.100, and 438.230 - Advance directives, client rights, and audit access
* Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 and the Federal and State False Claims Acts - Fraud, waste, and abuse compliance
* County's Cultural Competency Plan & National CLAS Standards - Equity in service delivery
The agreement includes defined service authorizations, clear expectations for documentation, record retention, audit readiness (including rights of DHCS, CMS, and HHS Office of Inspector General), and detailed fiscal and compliance provisions. Services must be preauthorized by LCBHS, and monthly invoices must include client-level documentation. Rates vary by facility type and level of care (Patch 1-5, PHF, Social Rehab), with itemized rates in Exhibit B.
The term of the agreement is July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with the option to continue services on a month-to-month basis if necessary. County reserves the right to terminate the agreement with 30 days' written notice or upon non-appropriation of funds.
Approval of this agreement ensures Lake County maintains access to appropriate step-down and long-term care placement options for individuals requiring high levels of care, especially in light of ongoing challenges with inpatient psychiatric bed capacity and discharge planning statewide.
Recommended Action
Approve Agreement between the County of Lake and Crestwood Behavioral Health, Inc. for the provision of specialized mental health services for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 in the Amount of $1,200,000 and Authorize the Board Chair to Sign.

These programs provide intensive case management, therapeutic interventions, and coordinated care to Medi-Cal eligible foster youth and high-risk children and adolescents under the age of 21.
Program Impact:
In Fiscal Year 2024-25, fifty-eight (58) unduplicated beneficiaries received services under this agreement. Six (6) individuals successfully completed treatment or discharged. A total of 4,289 distinct SMHS encounters were delivered-primarily individual rehabilitation services, followed by therapy and targeted case management.

Redwood Community Services has provided SMHS under contract with the County for several years. The County last issued a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) for these services in 2022, covering FY 2022-23 through FY 2025-26 in accordance with the Lake County Purchasing Ordinance (Article IX of Chapter 2 of the Lake County Code). Pursuant to Section 2-38.4(a), a formal competitive process was conducted, and RCS was selected through that process based on qualifications, program performance, and capacity to meet DHCS requirements for foster youth programs.
Regulatory and Contractual Requirements:
The proposed contract is governed by and compliant with:
* California Welfare & Institutions Code � 14184.402(d) - Mandates medically necessary SMHS for beneficiaries under age 21 per EPSDT entitlement.
* CCR, Title 9, � 1810.435 - Requires review of provider qualifications at least every three years.
* CCR, Title 9, �� 1810.227, 1810.249, and 18360.05 - Defines scope of SMHS, case management, and therapeutic foster care.
* BHIN 21-073 & BHIN 22-019 - Guides eligibility criteria, documentation, and medical necessity under the CalAIM framework.
* 42 CFR � 438.230 & 438.608 - Establishes federal standards for provider oversight, program integrity, and compliance monitoring.
The contract ensures adherence to all applicable federal and state laws, including HIPAA, the Deficit Reduction Act, and the County's contractual obligations under its Medi-Cal Mental Health Plan.

Executive Summary
Lake County Health Services (LCHS) has an active contract with Anju Goel, MD, MPH for Public Health Officer (PHO) services from April 1, 2025 through September 30, 2025.
Dr. Goel's extensive experience and qualifications have served LCHS and Lake County well. Her appointment to this temporary PHO position has ensured continuity and effectiveness of LCHS operations and has avoided the lapse of coverage and services to our community that we faced with the resignation of the previous PHO.
The initial contract has a maximum compensation not to exceed forty-nine thousand eight hundred sixty dollars ($49,860) per year. Unfortunately, the hourly requirements for Dr. Goel's services will result in charges exceeding this amount due to initial training requirements and complicated communicable disease cases.
LCHS has recently completed a Request for Proposals (RFP) for temporary and back-up PHO services and the County has recently appointed a new PHO scheduled to start in September. LCHS respectfully requests that your board approve this amendment to avoid a lapse of PHO coverage and services while we work through negotiations and the contract process with our RFP respondents and await the arrival of the incoming PHO.
Staff recommend approval of the amendment.
Recommended Action

7.8Consideration of quarterly report of construction contract change orders approved under delegation of authority to Public Services Director for the Lake County Sheriff Administration Facility Renovation Project
Presentation
Staff memo
Executive Summary
As your Board is aware, the County is currently renovating the former California National Guard Armory to serve as the new Lake County Sheriff Administration Center. The project is approximately 35% complete and progressing ahead of schedule. However, due to long lead-time items and project sequencing, it is anticipated that the construction timeline will ultimately align with the originally projected completion date in Spring 2026.
On March 18, 2025, your Board authorized the delegation of authority to the Public Services Director to approve and execute Construction Change Orders (CCOs) for the project's agreement with Wright Contracting, subject to the following limitations:
1) No individual CCO executed through the delegated authority shall exceed $210,000;
2) The cumulative total of CCOs approved under this authority shall not exceed $610,750; and
3) The Public Services Director shall present a quarterly report to your Board detailing all CCOs approved under this delegation.
As of the writing of this memorandum, two CCOs have been approved under this delegated authority, totaling $207,597.06:
1) CCO No. 1 (approved 4/16/2025): $139,404.84
2) CCO No. 2 (approved 6/25/2025): $68,192.22
Both CCOs are included with this memorandum. These changes address typical construction adjustments resulting from design modifications and unforeseen field conditions. The delegated authority enabled County staff to respond quickly to these issues, ensuring continued progress on the project without delays.
Importantly, these CCOs do not require any additional funding beyond what has already been approved by your Board. The project budget includes a 10% contingency, and the project remains well within approved appropriation limits.

Executive Summary
The FY 2025-2026 Final Recommended Budget for the Integrated Waste Management Division includes an appropriation of $425,000 for the purchase of an articulated dump truck. This equipment is necessary for transporting on-site rock and dirt over rough off-road terrain, such as landfill operations.
Prior to the preparation of the budget, staff obtained preliminary quotes and compared prices for both new and used articulated dump trucks. A new truck of the sort needed at the landfill is approximately $655,000.00. On June 13, 2025, staff obtained a quote from Peterson CAT of Ukiah for a used Caterpillar 730 articulated dump truck in the amount of $370,012.50, representing a significant cost savings. Staff is of the opinion that it is in the County's interest to pursue the purchase of this truck.
This specific truck has only 4,193 operating hours, which is relatively low for a haul truck - with proper maintenance, these trucks typically operate for up to 15,000 hours. Additionally, Peterson CAT is located in Ukiah, which provides accessible dealer support and minimizes risk in comparison to buying from a private seller or at auction, which is important for a large capital purchase such as this.
Therefore, staff is requesting your Board make a determination that competitive bidding would not be in the public's interest, pursuant to Lake County Code Section 38.2 (2), because the unique nature of the goods - specifically a used articulated haul truck - precludes competitive bidding.

Executive Summary
The Public Works Department plans to resurface approximately 37 centerline miles of roads this summer. Earlier this year staff solicited two separate requests for proposals (RFPs) for the materials necessary for the resurfacing work - one RFP for rock (specifically 5/16" chips) and one RFP for oil (specifically polymer modified rejuvenating emulsion). Two proposals were received for each RFP, and staff convened a selection committee to review and rank the submittals. The committee ranked Granite Construction as the most responsive proposal for the rock RFP, and Western Emulsions, Inc. as the most responsive proposal for the oil RFP.
The not-to-exceed amounts for each purchase order are calculated based on estimated quantities plus 10%. The project is fully funded using a portion of the County's allocation of SB1 (Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
Recommended Action
