Executive Summary
(a) This item is being submitted as an "extra" agenda item. The justification for this request to consider an item not on the posted agenda is as follows:
This item came to my attention subsequent to the posting of the current agenda and there is a need to take action before the next agenda. The current Interim Public Health Officer, Anju Goel, MD, MPH, declined to renew her contract which expired at midnight on Friday, July 31, 2026. Staff had anticipated that this contract would be renewed or extended through August 4th as negotiations were still ongoing. Without an appointed Public Health Officer, vital records work is at a standstill, the Health Services clinic cannot provide immunization services, and patients requiring clearance cannot be released from the hospital.
(b) After contacting multiple prospective Public Health Officers and Health Services Directors for assistance, Noemi Mimi Doohan MD PhD MPH, has agreed to provide short-term coverage. Dr. Doohan is currently the Public Health Officer for City of Berkeley. This offer of coverage was approved by her current employer and the State late Monday morning. This short-term appointment will ensure that ongoing public health mandates for services will continue. Lake County Health Services respectfully requests that your board approve this contract for temporary services with Noemi Mimi Doohan MD PhD MPH for a term of six months.
Recommended Action
(a) I request that the Board take action by motion to accept this item for consideration as an "extra" agenda item.
(b) Approve Interim Public Health Officer Appointment and Professional Services Contract with Noemi Doohan, MD, MPH, PhD for a Term of Six Months for an Amount not to Exceed $90,000 for the Term of the Agreement and Authorize the Health Services Director to Sign.

Executive Summary
The University of California Davis Campus (UC Davis) provides essential training, including all related materials, for Social Services (DSS) employees. Trainings cover various topics including Civil Rights, Welfare Fraud- Prevention and Detection, Accounting and Fiscal trainings, and even Field Safety Training. Many of these courses are required to comply with State regulations. The trainings not required by State law provide valuable information that would not be readily available or cost effective without the UC Davis contract. Because most trainings are held at DSS, there are no venue costs to provide, and no meal, travel, or lodging reimbursements are necessary for employees attending. Furthermore, DSS and UC Davis adapted to COVID-19 regulations and transitioned trainings into an online platform, which increases flexibility and allows more employees to attend trainings. This contract includes a total of 86 units of training.
According to 28.2(2), the unique nature of goods or services precludes bidding. UC Davis is the only institution in California that offers Continuing and Professional Education courses in Human Services(https://humanservices.ucdavis.edu) which have been developed in coordination with the state and county welfare departments to ensure the courses meet mandates. UC Davis is the sole institution selected by the state to provide post-secondary education to Social Workers under state subsidized Title IV-E Education programs, and the Northern Training Academies which all new CWS and APS Social Workers are required to attend. The daily rate for this contract is $4,250.00, the same as the previous 25-26 agreement with UC Davis. UC Davis is a sole source provider for the services offered. There is no other university, or alternative, in the state of California that provides these courses; many of which are required by state law.
Recommended Action
a) Waive the Formal Bidding Process Pursuant to County Ordinance 3137 Section 2-38, subsection 38.2(2), unique nature of the goods or services; and, b) Approve Contract between County of Lake and The Regents of the University of California for training services, in the amount of $339,915.00 from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, and authorize the Chair to sign.

Project Description:
Task C: Cole Creek Planning and Design
The Cole Creek Restoration Project in Lake County, CA, aims to develop a formal plan to restore 1.55 miles of spawning habitat for the Clear Lake hitch (CLH), a state-listed species under consideration for Federal ESA protection. This Project consists of planning, engineering, and design to improve flows, reduce sediment barriers, and address flooding. Its goal is to create a community-supported restoration plan to enhance CLH fish passage, spawning, juvenile migration, and long-term ecological resilience.
In accordance with the County's procurement policies, District staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to qualified engineering and environmental consulting firms with demonstrated expertise in fisheries habitat restoration, hydrology, and water resources planning. Following evaluation of the submitted proposals, FlowWest, LLC was determined to be the most qualified firm to perform the requested services.

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 25 years.
We contracted with Avero Advisors to 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 currently in Phase 3: Implementation Project Management Services.
Avero Advisors provided services 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. Phase 3 is the longest phase, and it includes implementation, go-live, and post go-live support.
In May 2026, there were challenges surrounding payroll data validation, as extensive Excel work needed to be done. The A-C Office does have the skillset needed but could not/cannot keep up with the volume and deadlines. Attached is Amendment #3, for $16,000, which was meant to assist specifically with spreadsheet validation work, that required a specialist level knowledge. While Amendment #3 was under review, the county made the decision to extend the go-live date from 7/1/26 to 10/1/2026. This decision results in the need for a minimum of three additional months of coverage, which is covered in Amendment #4. This brings the total not to exceed amount, covering March 2024-November 2026, to $634,925.
While the A-C Office has made all efforts to educate themselves on ERP/HCM implementation best practices, we do not have the staffing necessary 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 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.

SUBJECT: 10:00 A.M. - PUBLIC HEARING - Consideration of Appeal (PL-26-357) of Planning Commission's Denial of Major Use Permit (PL-26-115/ UP 21-17) and Mitigated Negative Declaration (PL-26-115/ IS 21-18) for Seigler Springs North/ Forest Elie; located at 11615 & 11625 Seigler Springs North, Kelseyville (APNs: 115-007-03 & 115-007-06)
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2023 Planning Commission Hearing & Continuance
On October 26, 2023, the Lake County Planning Commission considered Major Use Permit (PL-26-115 / UP 21-17); Applicant: Seigler Springs North, LLC / Brian Pensack and Garrett Burdick. During the public hearing, the Commission raised the following three concerns:
1. Tree Removal and Mitigation: A Tree Mitigation Plan must be submitted to address the proposed removal of trees.
2. Grading Plans: Staff inadvertently omitted the grading plans from the Staff Report attachments.
3. Tribal Cultural Resources: During the public hearing, the Planning Commission heard public comment from the Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians Tribal Historic Preservation Officer. The Commission was informed of potential Tribal Cultural Resources within the vicinity and directed Staff to address Tribal Cultural Resources further with the applicant and local Tribe(s).
Due to these issues, the Planning Commission continued the public hearing to a date and time uncertain to allow staff the time to address the identified issues. The video from the October 26, 2023, hearing can be found here on the County of Lake Website, under Agendas & Minutes https://countyoflake.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx
Project Revisions & Resolution of Concerns
Since the October 2023 hearing, the applicant has changed from Brian Pensack and Garret Burdick to Forest Elie. Forest Elie has decided to move forward with the pending application (UP 21-17) and has subsequently reduced the cultivation scope and addressed the Commission's directives by submitting the following:
* Scope Reduction: The applicant reduced the proposed commercial cannabis cultivation canopy from 174,240 square feet (four acres) to 130,680 square feet (three acres). The change in scope was Site plans are included in Exhibit A1.
* Oak Mitigation Plan: An arborist survey and Oak Mitigation Plan (dated January 3, 2024) were prepared by Jacobzoon and Associates for the project (Exhibits A8 and A9). As discussed in the Appeal Analysis section of this memorandum, an addendum to the Oak Mitigation Plan was submitted on July 28, 2026 (Exhibit F). The survey resulted in the preservation of five large black oak trees.
* Tribal Consultation: Staff initiated formal consultation with the Middletown Rancheria, resulting in site visit on February 28, 2024, where Tribal Cultural Resources were identified within the vicinity. Staff amended the existing mitigation measures in the Mitigated Negative Declaration to provide further protection (Exhibit A5). The mitigation measures were provided to the Tribe, and the applicant agreed to enter into a Tribal Monitoring Agreement with the Middletown Rancheria. Formal consultation concluded on April 9, 2024.
* Revised Grading Plans: The applicant provided updated grading plans on May 4, 2026, to accurately reflect the reduced project footprint (Exhibit A2).
2026 Planning Commission Hearing & Automatic Appeal
On June 11, 2026, the Planning Commission considered Major Use Permit (PL-26-115 / UP 21-17) and the associated Mitigated Negative Declaration (PL-26-115 / IS 21-18) for commercial cannabis cultivation located at 11615 and 11625 Seigler Springs North Road, Kelseyville (APNs: 115-007-03 & 115-007-06); Applicant: Forest Elie.
The Planning Commission vote resulted in a 2-2 tie with Commissioner Chavez and Commissioner Rosenthal voting yes, and Chair Zolar and Commissioner Brown voting no. The June 11, 2026, Staff Report and attachments are included as Exhibit A.
In accordance with Lake County Zoning Code Section 58.40, a tie vote by the Planning Commission deems the matter automatically denied at the first hearing in which it cannot achieve a majority action, thereby triggering an automatic appeal to the Board of Supervisors for a public hearing. Consequently, an automatic appeal has been processed for the Seigler Springs North / Forest Elie project under case number PL-26-357.
II. SUMMARY OF PROJECT
The applicant, Forest Elie proposes 130,680 sf (3-acres) of outdoor commercial cannabis canopy within a 174,240 (4-acre) cultivation area and appurtenant facilities located at 11615 and 11625 Seigler Springs North Road, Kelseyville (APNs: 115-007-03 & 115-007-06) Development of the site includes removal of 71 (previously 76) Black oak tree over 6" DBH and replanting of 213 (previously 228) oaks in accordance with the submitted Oak Mitigation Plan (Exhibits A8 and F).
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires agencies to evaluate the environmental impacts of land use actions. A Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (Exhibit A5) was prepared and circulated for public review in compliance with CEQA on June 30, 2023, and recirculated on January 26, 2024. The Initial Study found that the Project would result in potentially significant impacts to Aesthetics, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology & Soils, Hydrology, Noise, Tribal Cultural Resources and Wildfire. However, with implementation of the identified mitigation measures, all impacts can be reduced to a less than significant level. Public comments are included as Exhibit A14.
III. BASIS FOR THE APPEAL
On the June 11, 2026, Planning Commission hearing, four Commissioners were in attendance (Fields absent). Pursuant to the Planning Commission By-Laws, an affirmative majority vote of the total commission is required to either approve or deny a project. The Commission's vote resulted in a 2-2 tie and no majority action could be taken. In accordance with Section 58.40 of the Lake County Zoning Ordinance, a tie vote prevents formal action and automatically triggers an appeal of the matter to the Board of Supervisors. Consequently, this item is before the Board as an automatic appeal under case number PL-26-357.
IV. APPEAL ANALYSIS
The applicant and Staff addressed the concerns from the Planning Commission hearing(s) with the following items:
* Tree Study & Mitigation: The applicant has conducted a tree study and submitted an Oak Mitigation Plan (Exhibit A8).
o On July 28, 2026, an additional arborist survey and Addendum to the Oak Mitigation Plan (Exhibit F) was completed by Jacobzoon and Associates, to confirm the health of the trees proposed for removal and discuss potential alterations to the project to further mitigate impacts on the existing oak woodland. During the inspection several oaks within the project footprint (approximately 15%) showed signs of poor and/or declining health, including crown die-back, partial basal girdling, beetle attack, and wood-decaying fungal infections (turkey tail fungus). The Arborist determined that these symptoms are the result of injuries caused by the Valley Fire which burned the property in 2015. The survey also found that there are five large, healthy black oaks situated in the northwest corner of the proposed cultivation; the applicant has committed to preserving the five noted black oak trees and a Condition of Approval (BIO-5 in the Amended Conditions within Exhibit E) has been added to ensure compliance with this requirement.
* Tribal Consultation: Staff contacted the local Tribe(s) and Tribal Consultation took place with the Middletown Rancheria on February 28, 2024. As a part of consultation, a site visit was conducted, and Tribal Cultural Resources were found within the vicinity. Staff amended the existing mitigation measures in the Mitigated Negative Declaration to further protect the resources (Exhibit A5). The mitigation measures were accepted by the Tribe. Tribal consultation was concluded on April 9, 2024.
* Scope Reduction: The applicant has reduced the proposal from 174,240 sf (four acres) to 130,680 sf (three acres) of commercial cannabis cultivation canopy.
* Revised Grading Plans: The applicant provided revised Grading Plans to reflect the reduction in project scope on May 4, 2026 (Exhibit A2).
The tie vote prevented the Planning Commission from taking action, and the project is now before the Board to determine if the environmental review and proposed mitigations are sufficient, and if the required findings support the revised proposed project.
V. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors:
Uphold the appeal (PL-26-357), reversing the Planning Commission's denial of Use Permit (PL-26-115/ UP 21-17) and Initial Study (PL-25-115/ IS 21-18) for Seigler Springs North/ Forest Elie for a Commercial Cannabis Cultivation located at 11615 & 11625 Seigler Springs North Road, Kelseyville (APNs 115-007-03 & 115-007-06).
Sample Motion:
Uphold Appeal (PL-26-357)
I move that the Board of Supervisors uphold the Appeal PL-26-357, in concept, and direct Staff to prepare Draft Findings of Fact.

6.61:00 P.M. - Consideration of Direction on the FLASHES Microgrid Boundary: Option B4 or Option B5
Action Item
Staff memo
Executive Summary
On June 23, 2026, the Board of Supervisors approved the Microgrid Incentive Program (MIP) Grant Agreements with Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and the Development Reimbursement Services Agreements with Trane for predevelopment of the Firemain Linked Auxiliary Supply/Hydraulic Energy Storage (FLASHES) Hartley and Lucerne projects. With those agreements in place, one threshold question remains before predevelopment engineering can advance: the boundary of the area to be served by the microgrid. Staff and Trane are seeking the Board's direction on whether Trane should pursue the Option B4 or Option B5 boundary.
The microgrid boundary defines the area the FLASHES projects are designed to serve in island mode. It drives the infrastructure the project must build, determines which communities receive resilience benefits, and shapes the long-term economics of the project. Both options are technically viable; the choice between them is a policy decision for the Board of Supervisors.
Option B4 is an extended boundary. It runs east through Nice to include the community of Lucerne within the microgrid's resilience footprint, serving a larger population than the alternative. Extending the boundary east also requires additional distribution and interconnection infrastructure. Trane projects that Option B4 would produce a 20 to 25 percent (20-25%) reduction in cash flow, net of operating and capital costs, compared to Option B5.
Option B5 is a compact boundary. It serves the Upper Lake-Nice corridor portion of the Lucerne substation's territory, and stops short of Lucerne, itself. This is the baseline against which Trane's projected 20 to 25 percent (20-25%) reduction is measured. Option B5 carries the stronger projected economics of the two options, but Lucerne would not be served by the microgrid, and the Board may wish to weigh that exclusion against County resilience priorities. Selecting Option B5 would not permanently foreclose Lucerne; the boundary could be expanded to include the community in the future.
Preliminary Trane modeling projects island mode duration under each boundary. Both options reach the 96-hour modeled maximum from April through October and diverge in the winter months, with Option B4 projected at 32 hours in January and 28 hours in December against 76 hours and 74 hours, respectively, under Option B5. On a twelve-month average, Option B4 projects 73.6 hours in island mode and Option B5 projects 92.5 hours. Both boundaries exceed the MIP program's 24 consecutive hour island mode requirement in every month modeled.
On July 8, 2026, Michael Day of Trane briefed the Ad Hoc Energy Policy Committee on the two boundary options. The Committee's preference was for Option B5. Because Trane projects a 20 to25 percent (20-25%) reduction in cash flow, net of operating and capital costs, for Option B4 compared to Option B5, the Committee was concerned about the financial viability of the extended boundary.
This item seeks Board direction only and carries no additional fiscal impact. Predevelopment costs under either boundary are covered by the MIP Grant Agreements with PG&E and the Development Reimbursement Services Agreements with Trane that the Board approved on June 23, 2026.
Recommended Action
Provide direction to staff on the boundary for the FLASHES microgrid, selecting either Option B4 (extended boundary, including Lucerne) or Option B5 (compact boundary, excluding Lucerne).
Direction was given to work on option B5 and direct project staff to design the project to serve as many residents as possible.

Executive Summary
The California Child and Family Services Review (C-CFSR) was established through the Child Welfare System Improvement and Accountability Act (AB 636) in 2001 and is modeled after the federal Child and Family Services Review process. The C-CFSR is designed to improve outcomes for children and families involved in the child welfare system while holding counties and the State accountable for achieving positive outcomes in child safety, permanency, and well-being.
As part of the C-CFSR process, the County develops a five-year System Improvement Plan (SIP), which serves as a roadmap for Child Welfare Services and the Probation Department to implement measurable strategies that improve outcomes for children and families. The SIP includes an analysis of county performance data, identified areas for improvement, specific goals and strategies, and a five-year implementation timeline.
The final SIP was developed collaboratively with the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) through a negotiated review process. While the County submitted its draft within the required timeframe, final approval was delayed due to statewide CDSS capacity constraints. The negotiated SIP has now been finalized and is being presented for Board approval.
Recommended Action
Approve the Lake County's System Improvement Plan (SIP) for the Term of November 2025 to November 2030 and authorize the Chair to sign.
On motion of Supervisor Crandell, and by vote of the Board, Approved the Lake County’s System Improvement Plan (SIP) for the Term of November 2025 to November 2030 and authorized the Chair to sign. The motion carried by the following vote:

Staff memo
Executive Summary
As your Board will recall, during last week's Legislative Update, Supervisor Owen raised concern regarding recent loss of wage parity between goat and sheep herders. This change carries unintended consequences, including increased wildfire risk from projects deferred where goat-herding was previously the most effective and affordable way to mitigate vegetation in steep terrain. Administrative Office staff conferred with Katherine VanDerWall, Lake County's Agricultural Commissioner, regarding this matter, and she noted Tehama County had submitted a letter, and she would support Lake County likewise submitting a Letter, noting, "Not only would this have an impact on goat herders in Lake County, [it] would negatively impact that industry statewide, and... [potentially] put producers out of business."
I therefore ask that our Board join Tehama County in urging Speaker Rivas and the California State Assembly to include language in the August Budget Trailer Bill permanently restoring wage parity, as sheep and goat herders perform substantially the same duties. This action will approve the attached Letter, which will be distributed as described.
Further, I recommend our Board approve the attached Letter, and authorize me to sign, as Chair.
Recommended Action
Approve the Letter of Support for permanent sheep/goat herder Wage Parity in the August Budget Trailer Bill and authorize the chair to sign the letter
On motion of Supervisor Owen, and by vote of the Board, approved Letter of Support for Permanent Sheep/Goat Herder Wage Parity in the August Budget Trailer Bill as amended. The motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes- Supervisors: 5 – Owen, Sabatier, Crandell, Pyska, and Rasmussen

7.3Consideration of Amendment No. 2 between the Lake County Sanitation District (LACOSAN) Northwest Wastewater Treatment Plant and Clearlake Oaks County Water District (CLOCWD) for the Acceptance of Effluent for Twenty-Five Years
Agreement
Motion carried
Carried 3-2 — moved by Crandell
Crandell: aye Owen: nay Pyska: aye Rasmussen: aye Sabatier: nay
Crandell: aye Owen: nay Pyska: aye Rasmussen: aye Sabatier: nay
Staff memo
Executive Summary
LACOSAN and CLOCWD entered into the Agreement for the Acceptance of Effluent dated July 21, 1998, to transport effluent from Northwest Wastewater Treatment Plant to the Clearlake Oaks County Water Plant and to the Geyser Pipeline at the Southeast Wastewater Treatment Plant. The original agreement was extended through Amendment No. 1.
Amendment No. 2 extends the term of the agreement for twenty-five years to coincide with the Geyser Agreement and updates some of the operation and maintenance section to include a mutual operation and maintenance understanding between LACOSAN - NW and CLOCWD.
This amendment assures that LACOSAN and CLOCWD will be able to continue to dispose of the effluent from the two wastewater plants through the Geyser Pipeline. This continued disposal method ensures that both plants continue to follow their NPDES permits and prevents possible issues that were experienced with the previous deposal method of land application. This agreement further benefits both districts to ensure additional costs are not incurred to repair the land application systems.
Environmental was completed under the original project that installed the pipelines and pumping systems. No additional environmental review is needed to extend the agreement.
All operation and maintenance expenses are included in the approved budget, and no additional funding is necessary to extend the agreement. Additionally, there is an attachment that reflects ballpark cost estimates for upgrades that would be required to the sprinkler system, and reservoir capacity upgrades. These costs are not an affordable solution to dispose of the effluent. The costs to continue with the Clearlake Oaks contract and partnership is very cost effective.
Recommended Action
Approve the Amendment No. 2 between the Lake County Sanitation District (LACOSAN) Northwest Wastewater Treatment Plant and Clearlake Oaks County Water District (CLOCWD) for the Acceptance of Effluent for Twenty-Five years.
On motion of Supervisor Crandell, and by vote of the Board, made the motion, approved Amendment No. 2 between the Lake County Sanitation District (LACOSAN) Northwest Wastewater Treatment Plant and Clearlake Oaks County Water District (CLOCWD) for the Acceptance of Effluent for Twenty-Five Years.
