DESIGNATING THE MONTH OF MAY 2026 AS MATERNAL MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH WHEREAS, pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period are profound life transitions that can affect every aspect of a person's life-including their mental health. Maternal mental health struggles are among the most common complications of pregnancy and childbirth, yet they often go unrecognized and untreated due to stigma, lack of screening, and barriers to care; and WHEREAS, up to 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men will experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder such as postpartum depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder, making these conditions the most common complication of pregnancy; and WHEREAS, untreated maternal mental health conditions can have long-term negative impacts on the birthing person, the infant, and the entire family, including disruptions to bonding, development, and family stability; and WHEREAS, stigma and cultural silence around mental health during pregnancy and postpartum prevent many individuals from seeking help, sometimes suffering in silence for months or years and the struggles with mental health can affect any parent, regardless of age, race, or in come level; and WHEREAS, systemic disparities mean that Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color experience higher rates of maternal mental health conditions and face greater barriers to care, including discrimination, lack of access, and underdiagnosis; and WHEREAS, pregnancy and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders are highly treatable through awareness, early screening, timely intervention, and access to culturally responsive and trauma-informed mental health care, which can lead to full recovery and improved outcomes; for individuals and families; and WHEREAS, Lake County Behavioral Health Services supports maternal mental health through investment in programs like Mother-Wise, a community-based nonprofit that offers free in-person and virtual support groups, mental health screenings, peer support, and a welcoming drop-in center where mothers can find connection, encouragement, needed supplies, and care without judgment; and WHEREAS, programs like Mother-Wise help reduce isolation, increase awareness of available resources, and create a sense of community for new and expecting mothers navigating the mental health challenges of pregnancy and postpartum; and WHEREAS, all birthing people deserve to be heard, believed, and supported in their mental health journeys, and a community that centers wellness for new and expecting parents builds a stronger foundation for future generations. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED, the Lake County Board of Supervisors does hereby proclaim the month of May 2026 as Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month in Lake County and calls upon all residents, healthcare providers, and community leaders to join in breaking the stigma, supporting families, and ensuring that maternal mental health is a priority in our collective efforts to build a healthier community.

This item requests approval of budget amendments for Fund 145, Budget Unit 4014 (Mental Health) and Fund 141, Budget Unit 4015 (Substance Use Disorder Services), authorization to utilize Encampment Resolution Fund (ERF) grant funding, and a corresponding amendment to the FY 2025-26 Capital Asset List. The FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget for these funds was developed using prior-year and baseline assumptions. Since adoption, updated revenue projections and actual expenditure trends have materially changed. These amendments are necessary to align the budget with current program operations, service demand, and actual funding levels. For Fund 145, Budget Unit 4014 (Mental Health), the proposed amendment increases revenues and appropriations by $9,510,998. This adjustment is primarily driven by increased Mental Health Medi-Cal revenue, Behavioral Health incentive funding, and one-time Mental Health Block Grant funding, as well as higher-than-budgeted service delivery costs. Major expenditure changes include significant increases in contracted billable provider services and client placement costs. These increases are partially offset by salary savings associated with vacant positions and other expenditure reductions. The amendment also includes $600,000 in BHCIP bond-related capital project costs and the associated match, as well as $200,000 in ERF grant funding for the purchase of one vehicle to support service delivery. For Fund 141, Budget Unit 4015 (Substance Use Disorder Services), the proposed amendment increases revenues and appropriations by $1,058,000. This adjustment is primarily driven by updated Medi-Cal billing projections and increased contracted services supported by Opioid Settlement funding. These increases are partially offset by salary savings from vacant positions and reductions in certain operating costs. The amendment also includes a $600,000 interfund transfer to Fund 4014 to support the required BHCIP bond match. While these amendments do not include any transfers from reserves, they do include this interfund transfer, which is reflected in the attached budget resolutions and supported by available restricted funding within Budget Unit 4015. These amendments reflect a shift from staffing-based expenditures to service delivery costs, including contracted providers and client placements, consistent with current operational needs, workforce capacity, and service utilization. This item is being brought forward separately from the midyear budget process because updated revenue and expenditure information became clearer following budget adoption and midyear review. Since that time, material changes in Medi-Cal revenue projections, contracted service utilization, and client placement needs have been identified. These amendments are therefore necessary to ensure the FY 2025-26 budget accurately reflects current program activity, funding levels, and service demand. ERF funding has been awarded through the Lake County Continuum of Care, with Lake County Behavioral Health Services serving in a lead administrative role for Behavioral Health-related components. The attached ERF resolution authorizes Behavioral Health to utilize ERF funding for eligible program activities in accordance with grant requirements, while clarifying that expenditure remains limited to amounts appropriated by the Board through the County budget process. The current FY 2025-26 budget amendment includes $200,000 for the purchase of one vehicle within Fund 145. Any additional ERF-funded program expenditures will be brought forward for future Board consideration through subsequent budget actions. All revenues supporting these adjustments are derived from State, federal, grant, and other restricted funding sources. These amendments do not require any additional General Fund contribution. The proposed budget adjustments and vehicle purchase are fully supported by these dedicated funding sources and do not result in any increase to County General Fund cost. A prior internal loan from the General Fund used to address temporary cash flow disruptions during State payment reform and electronic health record transition remains unchanged and is not impacted by these amendments.

(a) Adopt a Resolution amending the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget for Fund 141 (Mental Health) to increase revenues and appropriations; (b) Adopt a Resolution amending the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget for Fund 141 (Substance Use Disorder Services) to increase revenues and appropriations; (c) Adopt a Resolution authorizing Lake County Behavioral Health Services to utilize Encampment Resolution Fund (ERF) grant funding administered through the Lake County Continuum of Care; (d) Amend the FY 2025-26 Capital Asset List for Budget Unit 4014 to include one (1) vehicle funded by ERF grant funding.

On February 28, 2017, the County of Lake entered into an agreement with Quincy Engineering to provide preliminary and final design, environmental services, right of way, bidding and construction assistance services for the project to replace the Clover Creek Bridge at First Street (14C-0015). On December 20, 2022, Quincy Engineering was acquired by Consor Engineering, and the project agreement between the County and Quincy was assigned to Consor. The amendment incorporates additional design services to revise the foundation design and address Caltrans comments to mitigate for weak/soft soil conditions supporting the new structure, changes resulting from right-of-way negotiations, and changes in approach to stormwater treatment compliance. The amendment also incorporates additional coordination with the permitting agencies to verify the permits are still valid after design changes, and to obtain revised permits if necessary. Public Works staff reviewed the proposed scope of work consulted with Caltrans local assistance to confirm that the work is justified, and prepared the attached amendment for your Board's consideration. The project is fully funded through the federal Highway Bridge Program.

Approve Amendment Eight to the Agreement between the County of Lake and Consor Engineering for Engineering Services for Replacement of Clover Creek Bridge at First Street (14C-0015) for an increase of $242,200 and Authorize the Chair to Sign.

The Department of Public Works will perform multiple road resurfacing projects during the 2026 construction season. These projects generally include localized pavement repairs, placement of asphalt leveling courses, and application of double chip seal and sealcoat treatments. Successful delivery of this work requires a consistent and reliable supply of hot mix asphalt that meets County specifications and can be transported and placed within required temperature and time constraints. County road crews will haul asphalt directly from the supplier to active job sites. Due to the temperature-sensitive nature of hot mix asphalt, extended haul times can result in reduced workability, compromised compaction, and diminished pavement performance. The Granite Construction asphalt plant located at the Highway 175 quarry near Lakeport is the only supplier within a practical hauling distance that allows County crews to maintain material quality and efficient operations. Use of more distant suppliers would: * Result in excessive haul times incompatible with hot mix placement requirements * Increase fuel and labor costs * Reduce daily production efficiency of County crews * Risk degradation of asphalt quality prior to placement Based on these operational constraints, Granite Construction represents the only reasonably available source capable of meeting the County's material, schedule, and performance requirements for these projects. County Code section 2-38.2(2) identifies the circumstances wherein the competitive bidding process may be waived. One circumstance includes situations where the unique nature of the goods or services precludes competition. In this case, the combination of geographic proximity, time-sensitive material requirements, and operational limitations of County hauling effectively limits the procurement to a single viable supplier. Each individual project is estimated to remain within the purchasing authority of the Public Works Director for the purchase of materials for a public project. Therefore, the only action requested of your Board is waiver of the competitive bidding process.

Waive the Competitive Bidding Process pursuant to section 2-38.2(2) for the purchase of hot mix asphalt from Granite Construction for 2026 road maintenance projects.

At this same time last year, our office was advised that the reason our RT Lawrence invoices were no longer being paid was because month-to-month contracts were no longer being honored. We were ultimately able to restore payment, but now again our invoices are not being paid due to a contract interpretation. As your Board is aware, RT Lawrence is our vendor for electronic payment processing as well as the lockbox processing service for property tax payments. RT Lawrence remains the only vendor integrated with our Megabyte Property Tax Software, and with our limited staffing levels a conversion back to manual payment processing will not be sustainable. This item is being brought in an effort to provide certainty and permit Treasury operations to continue.

(a) Affirm and continue the June 6, 2023, Board of Supervisors determination to waive the formal bidding process pursuant to Lake County Code Section 38.2(2), as it is not in the public interest due to the unique nature of goods or services; (b) determine that ongoing competitive bidding is still not in the public interest pursuant to Section 38.2 (1), as the inability of the Treasurer - Tax Collector to continue basic essential operations pursuant to the existing month-to-month contract with RT Lawrence would create a state of emergency; (c) Approve payment of RT Lawrence Invoice #50662 & 50772; (d) and authorize payment of RT Lawrence invoices so long as the total payments remain under the estimated annual maximum, adjusted for CPI as indicated in Section 38.1.

The County Administrative Office is very pleased to present for the consideration of your Board the Inaugural County of Lake Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), spanning Fiscal Years (FY) 2025-26 through 2029-30. This Draft CIP is divided into three functional areas, Facilities, Transportation, and Utilities. Departments with projects listed are Public Works, Special Districts, and Water Resources. The CIP is intended to promote County staff, departments and your Board with planning projects, while promoting public understanding. As your Board and members of the public will be aware, the County budgets for the upcoming Fiscal Year, only. Therefore, the only projects with committed funding in the CIP (with the exception of the Armory project), are the FY 25 / 26 projects. Projects identified in future years of the CIP reflect strategic priorities, with planning-level cost estimates; they are not pre-approved expenditures. Members of your Board will likewise be aware, funding sources vary by department and project type. Transportation projects are substantially supported by state and federal transportation funds, including Surface Transportation Program (STP) and Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) allocations, alongside local road funds. Facilities projects generally rely on the County General Fund and, where applicable, state or federal grants, except for landfill projects which are funded through the solid waste enterprise fund through disposal revenue. Water, sewer, and lighting districts' capital improvements are funded primarily through service revenues collected from ratepayers within each service district. Special Districts regularly pursues grants to supplement these revenues, particularly for larger infrastructure projects. There are 216 projects listed in this CIP. Fully funding all would require estimated allocations of $260,986,544 from FY 25-26 through FY 29-30. Administration's intent is for the CIP to be an integrated part of annual County planning processes (including the County Budget), with updated cost estimates, new project identification, funding confirmations, and reporting on project completions.

Approve the Inaugural County of Lake Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for Fiscal Years 2025-26 Through 2029-30.

Further, the listed community commercial uses are allowed when conducted within a completely enclosed building; when open to the public between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m. (1) It is the CDD's position that Hollman's business use or operation is inconsistent with and contrary to the zoning ordinance and does not meet the criteria for the permitted uses as listed in Section 19.3 and is not open to the public, and therefore is not allowed. Hollman believes his business use meets the criteria of Section 19.3 (f) - Professional offices and services such as dispatching, blueprinting, duplicating, printing, drafting, engineering, surveying, planning, and architectural services. The determination if Hollman's business use is consistent with Section 19.3 (f) is at the discretion of the Director of the Department / Head of the Planning Division. To meet the criteria for public hours, Hollman stated he would open the business for one (1) hour a day to meet the criteria for public hours stated in Section 19.3. CDD does not support Hollman's operation hours and believes it to be inconsistent with Section 19.3. (2) It is CDD's position that Hollman's residential use of the land and/or premises is contrary to the zoning ordinance and is not allowed. Hollman stated he currently resides in Unit #C of the building. Accessory residential uses are allowed per the "C2" zoning designation, if the primary purpose of the "C2" zoning designation has been met. It is the position of CDD that Hollman's current use is contrary or inconsistent with the allowed uses as stated in Section 19.3 and until the primary purpose of the "C2" zoning designation has been met, the residential use cannot occur. Holloman stated the building has been used for residential purposes in the past, but has not provided any evidence to date to support this claim. Hollman filed an application with this Department to obtain the issuance of a use permit to allow his residential use pursuant to Section 59.5 (b) of the zoning ordinance - Alterations: (b) A legal non-conforming use of land may be enclosed by a building upon obtaining a major use permit in each case, provided that the use area of the non-conforming use is not expanded, and additional uses are not initiated. The Review Authority shall make the following additional findings in each case. The code requires the issuance of a zoning permit to allow the residential use. CDD has asked Hollman to provide information that substantiates the building was used for residential purposes in the past. To qualify as being legal-non-conforming, the building had to be permitted for residential uses and be determined to be a legal structure at the time it was constructed to allow residential use at some point in the past. Hollman has not provided information to CDD to substantiate that a residential use had been established prior to the enactment of Section 27.3 (a). Per the records of the County Assessor's Office the building is being assessed as an office. Failure to obtain a zoning clearance for a Cargo Container / Dog Kennel Observed on the property is a cargo container and a dog kennel. Both structures and/or uses require the issuance of a zoning clearance prior to being situated or erected on the property. Failure to obtain a zoning clearance is contrary to the provisions of the zoning ordinance. A search of CDD records could not locate any zoning clearance(s) having been issued.

Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors uphold the Notice of Violation and Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate and direct the property owner to voluntarily cease residential occupancy of the structure; cease the current business use within thirty (30) days and to authorize staff to abate the nuisance if it is not voluntarily abated and that all associated costs of the abatement become a charge against the property and placed on the tax rolls as a special assessment.
