A. All contracts, except for State construction projects that are funded in whole or in part by the Federal government, must contain a 30-day cancellation clause and the following provisions:
1) It is mutually understood between the parties that this contract may have been written for the mutual benefit of both parties before ascertaining the availability of congressional appropriation of funds to avoid program and fiscal delays that would occur if the contract were executed after that determination was made.
2) This contract is valid and enforceable only if sufficient funds are made available to the State by the United States Government for the purpose of this Program. In addition, this contract is subject to any additional restrictions, limitations, or conditions enacted by the Congress or to any statute enacted by the Congress that may affect the provisions, terms, or funding of this contract in any manner. 3) The parties mutually agree that if the Congress does not appropriate sufficient funds for the Program, this contract shall be amended to reflect any reduction in funds.
4) The Department has the option to invalidate the contract under the 30-day cancellation clause or to amend the contract to reflect any reduction in funds.

B. Exemptions from provisions A.1 through A.4 above may be granted by the Department of Finance provided that the director of the State agency can certify in writing that Federal funds are available for the term of the contract.

C. Gov. Code § 8546.4(e) provides that State agencies receiving Federal funds shall be primarily responsible for arranging for Federally required financial and compliance audits, and shall immediately notify the Director of Finance, the State Auditor, and the State Controller when they are required to obtain Federally required financial and compliance audits.

CDBG-DR program beneficiaries are victims of this crime when the CDBG-DR program is abused. The Department wants to stop any criminal assault on the CDBG-DR program it administers, and in doing so ensure all CDBG-DR funds go to people it was designed to help and improve their living conditions.

C. Combatting Fraud - The HUD Office of Inspector General (OIG) is committed to protecting HUD’s programs, operations, and beneficiaries from dishonest individuals and organizations. HUD cannot combat fraud alone; they rely on Department and DR Workforce Development NOFA Applicants to combat CDB-DR program fraud. HUD also relies on Applicants for and people receiving HUD benefits, such as: tenants receiving rental assistance, borrowers with HUD insured loans, or citizens having their communities restored using HUD grants. The HUD OIG Hotline number is 1-800-347-3735. This is the primary means to submit allegations of fraud, waste, abuse, mismanagement, or Whistleblower related matters for the CDBG-DR program to the OIG.

HUD OIG accepts reports of fraud, waste, abuse, or
mismanagement in the CDBG-DR program from HUD employees, anyone administering the CDGB-DR program, anyone working in the CDBG-DR program, contractors, and the public.

You can report mismanagement or violations of law, rules, or regulations by HUD employees or program participants. Fraud, Waste and Abuse in the CDBG-DR program and its operation may be reported in one of the following four (4) ways:
1) By email to: [email protected]

a) a violation of any law, rule, or regulation,
b) gross mismanagement,
c) a gross waste of funds,
d) an abuse of authority, or
e) a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety. 2) In general, an employee or applicant may make a protected disclosure to anyone, including non-governmental audiences, unless the information is classified or specifically prohibited by law from release.

Complaints received by the State Auditor are confidential, and the identity of the complainant may not be revealed without the complainant's permission, aside from to an appropriate law enforcement agency conducting a criminal investigation.
2) There are many ways to file a complaint:
a) By Telephone
You may call the Whistleblower Hotline at (800) 952-5665 to file a complaint by talking to one of the State Auditor's employees. The hotline generally is staffed Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If you call when the hotline is not being staffed, or staff is occupied with other calls, you may leave a voicemail message requesting a
return call.
b) By Mail or Facsimile
You may file a complaint in the form of a letter to the State Auditor addressed as follows:

Investigations
California State Auditor
P.O. Box 1019
Sacramento, CA 95812
Or you may fax the letter to the State Auditor at (916) 322- 2603.

As an alternative, you may complete the electronic version of the complaint form (which is available on the State Auditor website at auditor.ca.gov), print it out, and return it by mail or facsimile as stated above.
c) Online

The State Auditor will not undertake an investigation unless there is a basis for believing that your complaint has sufficient merit to warrant spending resources on an investigation. Your complaint should therefore include:
i. A clear and concise statement of what you are alleging to be improper activity and why you believe it is improper.
ii. The name or other information that clearly identifies the person you are alleging has acted improperly and the
department where that person works.
iii. The names and contact information for any witnesses who can confirm the truth of what you are saying.
iv. Copies of any documents that will support what you are saying. (You should not submit original documents, as they cannot be returned.)

38. Authority to Post Remediated Versions of Agreement
Subrecipient hereby understands and acknowledges that the Department is obligated under federal law to post on the Department’s website copies of all CDBG-DR executed contracts. As posted, such contracts must be compliant with federal and state law accessibility laws, including the California Government Code Section 11546.7 (2017 Assembly Bill 434) and the federal Americans with Disability Act, Section 508. The state law is most stringent of the two, so all posted documents must meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG

2.0) accessibility level.

To comply, the Department must utilize document remediation tools that provide the compliant formatting. All remediation will only change formatting, color schemes, and update any tables so that screen readers can properly read out the content of the table. Thus, during remediation, the appearance of this Agreement may change, but under no circumstances shall any terms or tenets of the Agreement be changed in anyway.

Additionally, the Department shall offer website visitors the option to receive a scanned, un-remediated copy of this Agreement via email, which option Subrecipient also consents to.

The foregoing Subrecipient authorizations apply to both this original Standard Agreement as well as any and all subsequent amendments thereto.

5. Project Description
Project Overview
The Silveira Community Center, a public facility owned and operated by the City of Lakeport located at 500 N. Main Street, plays a crucial role in our community by providing a venue for social , recreational, educational, cultural activities and refuge center in times of need. However, the existing facility is lacking ADA ingress/egress access and restroom facilities are outdated, poorly maintained, and inaccessible for people with disabilities. To address these challenges and enhance community resilience, we propose a comprehensive renovation project. This project will include, replacing plumbing, fixtures, flooring, lighting, and ventilation systems, as well as installing grab bars, ramps, wider doors, and lower sinks and toilets. This project aligns with the CDBG-MIT-RIP program’s objectives by emphasizing risk reduction, equity, and community empowerment.

By investing in infrastructure improvements, we create a safer and more inclusive Lakeport.

Project Objectives

1. Mitigation-Related Infrastructure Enhancement:
o Wildfire Risk Reduction: By renovating the facility and restrooms for ADA access, we will contribute to overall community safety during wildfire and other emergency events. Accessible facilities ensure that all individuals, including vulnerable populations, can seek refuge at the center and have access to the facility.

2. Prioritizing Vulnerable and Low-to-Moderate Income (LMI) Populations:
o Accessibility: Installing grab bars, ramps, wider doors, and lower sinks and toilets will benefit people with disabilities, seniors, and families with young children.
o Equitable Access: The renovated restrooms will serve as a vital resource for low-income households lacking adequate facilities at home.

Beneficiaries
The project will directly benefit:
• Community Members: All residents who utilize the Silveira Community Center for events, programs, and gatherings. • People with Disabilities: ADA-compliant restrooms and access will promote inclusivity and dignity. • Seniors: Elderly individuals will find the updated facilities more user-friendly and accessible with wheelchairs, walkers and other aides. • Families with Young Children: Enhanced accessibility accommodates families with strollers and young children. • Low-Income Households: Access to well-maintained facility and restrooms is critical for those facing economic challenges during times of high need and disasters.

1. Eligible Activity Category
Installation of Public Facilities and Improvements

2. Explain how your project meets the definition(s) of each of the eligible type activities that you selected in the question above This project meets the definition of Installation of Public Facilities and Improvements because it involves the renovation of an existing public facility (the Silveira Community Center) to improve its accessibility, functionality, and quality for the benefit of the community. The project includes the following eligible type activities:
- Installation of plumbing systems and fixtures in the restrooms - Installation of flooring, lighting, and ventilation systems in the restrooms - Installation of grab bars, ramps, wider doors, and lower sinks and toilets in the restrooms to comply with the ADA standards - Installation of access and egress improvements to the facility These activities will enhance the public facility and improve its service to the community, especially for those with disabilities, seniors, families with young children, and low-income households who lack adequate facilities at home. The project will also increase the resilience of the community center to future disasters by improving its sanitary conditions and safety.

HUD defines mitigation as: Activities that increase resilience and reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of loss of life, injury, damage to and loss of property, and suffering and hardship, by lessening the impact of future disasters. See (MIT-PPS P&Ps Section 2.5 or MIT-RIP section 1.2.3)

3. Provide a detailed description of how the project will meet the definition of mitigation.

The project, in addition to its accessibility and safety enhancements, offers two crucial benefits that squarely meet the criteria of mitigation. First, it significantly improves the existing medical respite facility, which serves as a temporary shelter and care center for homeless or unstably housed individuals during emergencies. By enhancing this facility, we directly address the long-term risk of loss of life, injury, and suffering. Specifically:

1. Medical Respite Facility Enhancement:
o The upgraded medical respite facility will provide a safe haven for those recovering from illness or injury during crises. By offering a clean and secure environment, it reduces the risk of infection and complications for vulnerable populations. o Moreover, this facility doubles as an alternative care site when health services experience a surge in demand due to disasters. By preventing unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency room visits, it contributes to long-term resilience.

Secondly, the project incorporates essential infrastructure elements—namely, an emergency backup generator and solar panels. These additions position the facility as a PG&E community resiliency center during public safety power shutoffs or other power outages. Here’s how this aspect aligns with mitigation:

2. Community Resiliency Center:
o During emergencies, residents can rely on this center for critical services. It ensures access to electricity, cooling, heating, water, Wi-Fi, and other essentials.
o By providing a safe and comfortable space, the community resiliency center mitigates the hardship faced by residents during power disruptions. o Additionally, it fosters better communication and coordination among local agencies and community members, enhancing overall disaster preparedness.

In summary, this project not only bolsters resilience but also significantly reduces suffering and hardship, especially for those most vulnerable to the impacts of future disasters. By addressing both immediate and long-term needs, it exemplifies effective mitigation strategies.

F. Operations and Maintenance Plan (O&M)
HUD requires all Mitigation projects include an Operation and Maintenance Plan (O&M).

Each subrecipients must plan for the long-term operation and maintenance of infrastructure and public facility projects funded with CDBG–MIT funds.

The subrecipients must describe in its maintenance plan how it will fund long-term operation and maintenance for CDBG– MIT projects. Funding options might include State or local resources, borrowing authority or retargeting of existing financial resources. If operations and maintenance plans are reliant on any proposed changes to existing taxation policies or tax collection practices, those changes and relevant milestones should be expressly included in the maintenance plan. Additionally, the subrecipient must describe any State or local resources that have been identified for the operation and maintenance costs of projects assisted with CDBG–MIT funds.

1. Please describe how you will plan for long term operations and maintenance of the proposed project Introduction: The Silveira Community Center stands as a vital nexus for community engagement and enrichment within the City of Lakeport. To ensure its continued functionality and service provision, the City of Lakeport has formulated this Operation and Maintenance Plan in alignment with the requirements stipulated by the Community Development Block Grant for Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) funds from HUD.

Funding Strategy: The operation and maintenance costs of the Silveira Community Center will be sustained through a strategic combination of the general fund, borrowing authority, and reallocation of existing financial resources. Funding primarily originates from the general fund, supplemented by user fees and generous donations. In instances of budgetary constraints, options such as municipal bonds will be explored. Any alterations to taxation policies or tax collection practices affecting funding will be vigilantly monitored and addressed accordingly.

Long-Term Planning: Maintenance responsibilities for the Silveira Community Center are entrusted to the Parks, Buildings, and Grounds department. Approximately 20 hours per week will be dedicated to cleaning, landscaping, minor repairs, and general upkeep. Administrative staff will contribute a similar time allocation to oversee day-to-day operations, encompassing event scheduling, rentals, staff management, and regulatory compliance. An emergency preparedness plan will be devised to ensure swift and effective responses to unforeseen circumstances, minimizing disruptions to center activities.

Role of Recreation Program: Recognizing the integral role of recreation, the City of Lakeport is currently developing a Recreation Program tailored to complement the operations of the Silveira Community Center. This program will provide diverse recreational activities and programs for all age groups, further solidifying the center's position as a focal point for community engagement.

Incorporating Public Input: To foster community engagement, the Parks/ Buildings and Grounds Department will actively seek input from the public through surveys, online feedback forms on the department's webpage, and suggestion boxes. This proactive approach enables the gathering of valuable insights and suggestions regarding the maintenance of the Silveira Community Center, thereby enhancing community stewardship and encouraging volunteerism.

Utilizing Community Volunteer Resources: Volunteer engagement will be instrumental in both planning and executing upgrades to the Silveira Community Center. Community members will be actively involved in small-scale improvements and facility beautification projects, fostering a sense of ownership and pride. Moreover, involving community-based interest groups in facility enhancements strengthens relationships between residents and the center, paving the way for sustained care and maintenance.

Conclusion: The City of Lakeport is steadfast in its commitment to ensuring the efficient operation and maintenance of the Silveira Community Center. By leveraging the general fund, engaging community volunteers, and integrating a comprehensive Recreation Program, the city endeavors to uphold the center's standards of service excellence and community enrichment.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Acquisition of Real Property and Drainage Easements for Forbes Creek Headwall Replacement and Hartley Street
Culvert Repair Projects.

MEETING DATE: 12/16/2025
SUBMITTED BY: Ron Ladd, Public Works Director
PURPOSE OF REPORT: Information only Discussion Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

The City Council is being asked to approve four (4) separate resolutions approving and authorizing the acquisition of certain portions of real property and drainage easements from four (4) individual property owners to facilitate the construction and maintenance of the Forbes Creek Headwall Replacement and Hartley Street Culvert Repair.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

After the flooding in 2019, the City received federal funding through the Emergency Relief program to repair two areas damaged by the storms. The first project consists of replacing a headwall on the east side of Main Street at Forbes Creek (Forbes Creek Headwall Replacement Project). The second project consists of replacing a culvert and headwall on Hartley Street, north of the Anastasia Drive intersection (Hartley Street Culvert Repair Project).

City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Dokken Engineering on January 18, 2022 for environmental and right of way services. The environmental document was approved in May of 2023. Soon after, the authorization was granted to begin the right of way phase. Through the design process it was determined that the construction of the Forbes Creek Headwall Replacement Project requires two (2) fee acquisitions of right of way from property owners to the immediate north and south of the project. The Hartley Street Culvert Repair Project requires drainage easements from two (2) property owners for construction. The easements will also allow the City access to the storm drain system for maintenance.

Federal funding requires that any right of way acquisition, including easements, must follow the Uniform Relocation Assistance and the Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 as amended in 1987 (Uniform Act), as well as comply with all requirements of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Dokken Engineering has provided the right of way services, in compliance with all federal and state requirements, to get the City to the point of acquiring the right of way and easements necessary to move towards construction.

A summary of the right of way acquisition for each project is as follows:

Forbes Creek Headwall Replacement Project
• Savings Bank of Mendocino County, APN 025-331-140, Fee Acquisition of 728 square feet valued at $9,500
Meeting Date: 12/16/2025 Page 2 Agenda Item # VII.C.1.
425664.1
• H&S Energy, LLC, APN 025-331-080, Fee Acquisition of 52.55 square feet valued at $1,000
Hartley Street Culvert Repair
• Adam & Alexander Metaxas, APN 026-021-340, Drainage Easement, 1,000 square feet valued at $1,000
• Lakeport Unified School District, APN 026-031-180, Drainage Easement, 2,400 square feet valued at $1,700
Staff recommends the City Council approve a resolution for the acquisition of right of way and drainage easements from four property owners for the Forbes Creek Headwall Replacement and Hartley Street Culvert Repair Projects.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
The approval and acceptance of the grants of property and easements contemplated herein are components of larger projects which have been previously analyzed for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Control Board (SWRCB) and Applicable Clean Water Program Partner Agencies, and Directing Staff to Use the SWRP to Guide Future Stormwater and Watershed Planning Efforts.

MEETING DATE: 12/16/2025
SUBMITTED BY: Ron Ladd, Public Works Director – Presenter Jen Baker, Compliance Officer – Preparer
PURPOSE OF REPORT: Information only Discussion Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

Adopt a resolution approving the 2025 Lake County Stormwater Resources Plan (SWRP); authorizing staff to forward the adopted plan to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and applicable Clean Water Program partner agencies; and directing staff to use the SWRP to guide future stormwater and watershed program planning, project development, and grant application activities.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Senate Bill 985 (SB 985), the Storm Water Management Planning Act of 2014, requires California jurisdictions to adopt a Stormwater Resources Plan to remain eligible for state bond-funded stormwater and dry-weather runoff capture grants issued after 2014. Adoption of an SWRP is a procedural requirement for participation in Proposition-based stormwater funding programs administered by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB).

The 2025 Lake County Stormwater Resources Plan establishes a countywide framework for capturing, managing, and beneficially using stormwater and dry-weather runoff. The plan aligns with the State’s multi-benefit watershed objectives, including groundwater recharge, flood-risk reduction, water-quality improvement, habitat restoration, climate resilience, and support for disadvantaged communities.

During plan development, the Lake County Watershed Protection District solicited project submittals from local jurisdictions and partner agencies. Seventeen projects were received and evaluated using a standardized metricsbased scoring methodology consistent with the 2015 SWRCB SWRP Guidelines, ensuring transparent and defensible prioritization for future grant cycles.

Adoption of the SWRP does not obligate the City of Lakeport to fund or construct any listed projects. Rather, it:

Meeting Date: 12/16/2025 Page 2 Agenda Item # VII.C.2.
• Maintains the City’s eligibility for state and federal stormwater and watershed grant programs; • Provides a unified regional strategy for watershed management and climate resilience; • Supports future project planning, design development, and prioritization; • Strengthens inter-agency coordination across the Clean Water Program; and • Positions City staff to apply for competitive multi-benefit grants.

The Lake County Clean Water Program Management Council placed adoption of the SWRP on its November 20, 2025 agenda as a noticed action item and took formal action to recommend approval and adoption of the plan by participating City Councils and County governing bodies.

OPTIONS:

1. Adopt the resolution as presented.

2. Adopt the resolution with modifications and provide direction to staff.

3. Take no action.

StormwaterResourcesPlan

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Overview
The 2025 Stormwater Resources Plan (SWRP) provides the framework required under California Senate Bill 985 (SB 985) to keep Lake County and its municipalities eligible for state and federal grant funding for stormwaterandwatershedimprovementprojects.SB985(Water Code §10560 et seq.) makes the adoption of a Stormwater Resource Plan a mandatory precondition for receiving any bond-funded stormwater or dry-weather runoff capture grants issued after 2014.

Purpose and Regulatory Background
This plan establishes a county-wide strategy to capture, manage, and beneficially use stormwater and dry-weather runoff. By formally adopting the SWRP, Lake County meets the eligibility criteria for future Proposition-based funding programs (e.g., Propositions 1 and 68) and any subsequent bonds that fund multi-benefit stormwater, flood-management, or water-quality projects.

While the plan inventories specific projects, eligibility for funding is not limited to those listed. Any future project that meets SWRP criteria and demonstrates multi-benefit water-resource, flood, and environmental outcomes may be submitted for funding once the plan is officially adopted. Adoption is therefore a procedural requirement that opens the door to continued participation in State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) grant programs.

Plan Development and ProjectIdentification
The Lake County Watershed Protection District issued a public call for submittals in 2024 and received 17 projects from local jurisdictions and partner agencies. Project narratives appear on pages 16 through 42 of the plan.

These projects span feasibility studies, planning, design, and construction, addressing needs such as groundwater recharge, detention basins, flood-control improvements, creek restoration, and drainage upgrades across theClear Lake Basin and tributary watersheds.

Each project description provides a consistent analysis of potential benefits to water quality, groundwater recharge, flood reduction, and community enhancement. Together, they demonstrate an integrated watershed-management approach that meets the intent of SB985 to view stormwater as a resource rather than a waste stream.

ProjectEvaluation andScoring
To maintain transparency and prioritize investments, a metrics-based ranking system was applied following the 2015 SWRCB SWRP Guidelines.

Section5oftheplan(pages43–45)details thescoringmethodology.

Each project was evaluated against quantitative criteria such as water-supply benefits, floodmanagement value, habitat restoration, benefits to disadvantaged communities, and multi-objective integration.

A weighted average score (0–100 scale) was assigned to identify high-value, multi-benefit projects for potential funding.

This standardized scoring provides a defensible, data-driven way to rank local priorities for upcoming grant cycles.

Implementation and Benefits
Adopting theSWRPdoesnotcommitlocalfundsorauthorizeimmediateconstruction.Rather, it positions Lake County and its cities to:

Qualify forfuture state and federal stormwater and watershed funding opportunities.

Compete more effectively for multi-benefit grants that support water-quality improvement, flood-risk reduction,habitatrestoration,andclimateresilience.

Strengthen collaboration among agencies and align project planning with the County’s groundwater sustainability,flood-control,andclimate-adaptationgoals.

Conclusion and Council Recommendation
Adoption of the 2025 Stormwater Resources Plan is a strategic administrative requirement that preserves LakeCounty’seligibility formillionsofdollarsinfuturegrantfunding.

The plan does not bind the watershed to construct any listed project, nor does it limit future opportunities.

It simply provides the State-mandated framework that keeps Lake County grant-ready for upcoming funding cycles.

Recommendation:

That the Clean Water Council approve the 2025 Lake County Stormwater Resources Plan (SWRP) and forward a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors andCityCouncil Members for formal adoption.

Approval will authorize staff to coordinate with partner agencies on next-phase project planning and maintain Lake County’s standing for Proposition-based and other state-sponsored funding opportunities.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This document outlines the 2025 Stormwater Resources Plan (SWRP) for Lake County. It details strategies and measures designed to manage stormwater and dry weather runoff effectively. The plan aims to optimize water resources, improve water quality, and provide environmental and community benefits throughout the Clear Lake Basin and other Lake County Watersheds.

1.1 SWRP REQUIREMENTS
Senate Bill 985 (SB 985), the Storm Water Management Planning Act of 2014, implemented through the Water Code Section 10560 requires a Storm Water Resource Plan (SWRP) as a condition of receiving grant funds for stormwater and dry weather runoff capture projects from any bond approved by voters after January 2014. The intent of SB 985 is to encourage the use of stormwater and dry weather runoff as a resource to maximize water supply, water quality, flood management, environmental, and other community benefits within the watershed.

The nine key stormwater resource components as outlined in 10562-D are outlined in Attachment A to this Plan.

2.0 PLANNING AREA DESCRIPTION
Lake County is in the Northern California coastal mountain range, approximately 80 miles north of San Fransisco. This Stormwater Resources Plan addresses stormwater throughout the entire Lake County. The vicinity of Lake County is illustrated in Figure 2.1. Lake County contains several major watersheds, the largest of which is the area that drains to Clear Lake (326,000 acres or 40% of Lake County). Other significant watersheds1 include the Eel River/Lake Pillsbury, the Indian Valley Reservoir Watershed, the Putah Creek Watershed, and the North Fork Cache Creek Watershed.

Please refer to Section 1.6 of the Lake County 319 Watershed Plan for a graphic illustrating the extent of each watershed along with HUC 10 and 12 sub-watershed maps. Section 1.6 of the 319 Watershed Plan also includes a map of surface water tributaries in Lake County.

2.1 LAKE COUNTY AQUIFERS
The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) has designated 12 primary aquifers within Lake County. Most of these aquifers have not significantly declined over the last century. The seven aquifers that surround Clear Lake have the advantage of being recharged year round by the lake. A cursory review of DWR and Lake County monitoring data indicates that during the summer months the water level of these aquifers declines at a slower rate than other aquifers outside of the Clear Lake basin. These aquifers exhibit stable water levels even through the past 20 years of drought cycles.

The Big Valley Basin was categorized in California DWR Bulletin 118 as a “medium” priority basin.

This categorization meant that Lake County was required to produce a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) for the Big Valley Basin to comply with the State Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).

This GSP was published in January 2022. The Big Valley GSP states that the “Big Valley Basin was identified as a medium-priority basin by DWR based on components such as population and groundwater use”. This report explains that the total water use in the basin is estimated at approximately 13,000 AFY (approximately 32% of all agricultural demand in Lake County). The estimated sustainable aquifer yield is between 22,000 and 36,000 AFY and is far greater than the typical aquifer use. Twenty years ago, the Lake County Flood Control and Water Conservation District evaluated the viability of conducting groundwater recharge in the Big Valley Basin. The findings of this study can be found in the “Big Valley Ground Water Recharge Investigation Update” at the County’s groundwater management website.

No other aquifers in Lake County are listed in Bulletin 118. There are five other primary aquifers designated by DWR in Lake County that are not directly recharged by Clear Lake. These aquifers include Gravelly Valley, Long Valley, Collayomi Valley, Coyote Valley, and High Valley.

Please refer to Attachment B of the 2023 Clear Lake Source Water Assessment for more detailed monitoring data and information related to the Upper Lake Valley, Big Valley, Scott’s Valley, Burns, Lower Lake Valley, Clear Lake Cache Formation, Middle Creek, and High Valley Groundwater Basins.

Lake County Staff measure water wells in seven major groundwater basins (Upper Lake Valley, Scott’s Valley, Big Valley, High Valley, Burns Valley, Coyote Valley, and Collayomi Valley). This monitoring data is published at the Lake County Water Resources Department Groundwater Management Program website.

2.2 LAKE COUNTY SURFACE WATER
Clear Lake is the largest surface water body in Lake County and has a maximum storage capacity of

1.15 million acre-ft. There are many natural lakes and man-made reservoirs within Lake County in addition to Clear Lake.

After Clear Lake, the Indian Valley Reservoir and Lake Pillsbury are the largest water bodies. Water stored in these reservoirs is largely utilized by entities outside of Lake County. Indian Valley Reservoir is a 300,000 acre-ft reservoir across the North fork of Cache creek. Yolo County owns all rights to the water. Lake Pillsbury is an 80,000 acre-ft hydroelectric reservoir maintained by PG&E. According to a recent news article by the Mendocino Voice, PG&E has published a notice to decommission Scott’s dam as the hydroelectric plant is no longer viable. According to a June 2023 presentation by the Russian River Forum, most water rights to the Eel river are held in Humbolt and Mendocino Counties.

Other smaller reservoirs have been constructed in Lake County for the purpose of managing annual winter flooding and providing a reliable source of irrigation water. A detailed list of other notable surface water bodies in Lake County with links to additional information can be found in the Wikipedia Article “List of Lakes of Lake County, California”. Please refer to the map on the following page for the locations of various water bodies.

2.3 LAKE COUNTY WATER USAGE
According to the Lake County Water Resources Department website, In an average year, groundwater meets about 60% of Lake County’s urban and agricultural demands. Urban water demand in Lake County is estimated at 11,000 AFY and agricultural water demand is estimated at 40,000 AFY. More detailed information related to water usage demands in Lake County is included in the 2006 Lake County Water Demand Forecast.

3.0 STORMWATER RESOURCES PLAN COMPONENTS

3.1 LOCAL WATER SUPPLY AUGMENTATION (10562-D1)
In Lake County, there are opportunities for local water supply augmentation through groundwater recharge in Big Valley. The area's groundwater management plan focuses on replenishing the aquifer using techniques like infiltration from local creeks and managed aquifer recharge. These efforts aim to enhance water supply resilience, mitigate the effects of drought, and protect natural water resources.

3.2 POLLUTION AND STORMWATER RUNOFF REDUCTION (10562-D2) The Largest urban areas within Lake County include The City of Lakeport and the City of Clearlake.

These cities as well as Lake County are part of the local Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4) program, which aims to manage and reduce stormwater pollution. A map of the Lake County MS4 boundary is presented in Figure 3.1. Areas shown in red are considered urban and other areas are non-urban.

3.2.1 Reducing Urban Stormwater Runoff
Urban stormwater is rainwater that flows over surfaces in impervious urban areas rather than being absorbed into the ground. This water collects and flows into stormwater channels and further downstream to surface water bodies. In Lake County, much of the urban stormwater runoff ultimately is transported into Clear Lake. The existence of impervious surfaces increases the volume and speed of runoff, which can contribute to localized flooding issues.

Reducing urban stormwater runoff involves a combination of strategies aimed at increasing water infiltration, reducing impervious surfaces, and managing runoff before it enters water bodies.

Managing runoff can include any of the following actions:
• Slowing down the flow of runoff through detention or retention • Development, maintenance, and improvement of stormwater conveyance systems to reduce flooding
Most infiltration, conveyance, detention, and retention systems (stormwater runoff management systems) are implemented when urban infrastructure is initially constructed. Strategic city planning and standards are necessary to guide this urban development. Stormwater runoff management systems can also be improved upon post-development.

3.2.2 Reducing Urban Stormwater Pollution
Urban stormwater pollution occurs when the stormwater runoff flowing over impervious surfaces in urban areas picks up pollutants and carries them into local water bodies such as Clear Lake and other surface waters. Urban stormwater pollution is related to urban stormwater runoff. An increase in stormwater volume or a decrease in transportation time can increase the mass of pollutants that are transported. The EPA “Nonpoint Source: Urban Areas” webpage defines the following categories of urban pollutants that apply to Lake County:
• Sediment
• Oil, grease, and other toxic motor vehicle chemicals
• Pesticides and nutrients from lawns and gardens
• Viruses, bacteria, and nutrients from pet waste and failing septic systems • Heavy metals from roof shingles, motor vehicles, and other sources Urban stormwater pollutants can be reduced and mitigated by:
• Leveraging Best Management Practices (BMPs) to filter and absorb pollutants • Public education and outreach for proper disposal and use of various chemicals • Improving the management of stormwater runoff as described in Section 3.2.2 of this plan

3.2.3 Reducing Non-Urban Runoff Pollution
Practices for reducing non-urban runoff pollution are described in-depth in the 2025 Lake County 319 Watershed Plan. Please refer to this plan for relevant information.

3.3 RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF NATURAL TREATMENT AND INFILTRATION (10562- D3)
The 2025 Lake County 319 Watershed Plan Section 2.0 includes a review of “Wetland and Vegetative Filtration Loss” in Lake County and its detrimental effects on water quality. This section of the report also includes a list of typical mitigation BMPs. Sections 6.6 and 6.7 of the Plan outline recommended capital projects aimed at reducing the effects of wetland and vegetation loss. Section 7.2 of the report includes a roadmap for continuing to identify and prioritize related capital improvement projects in Lake County.

3.4 RESTORATION OF OPEN SPACE AND HABITAT (10562-D4)
“Re-Establishment of Natural Treatment and Infiltration” and “Restoration of Open Space and Habitat” are addressed in the same sections of the 2025 Lake County 319 Watershed Plan. Please refer to Section 3.3 of this Lake County Stormwater Resources Plan for a review of applicable references.

3.5 PUBLIC LANDS IN LAKE COUNTY (10562-D5)
The California Water Code Section 10560 emphasizes the use of public lands for stormwater resource projects. A stormwater resources plan must include, “[o]pportunities to use existing publicly owned lands and easements, including but not limited to, parks, public open space, community gardens, farm and agricultural preserves, schools sites, and government office buildings and complexes to capture, clean, store, and use stormwater and dry weather runoff either onsite or offsite”.

Several types of public lands in Lake County may be considered for stormwater resource projects.

Lake County public lands include BLM-managed areas, USFS-managed areas, City and County Public Lands, and State Public Lands. A map of public lands is presented in Figure 3.2.

3.6 BMPS FOR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT (10562-D6)
In Lake County, new development and significant redevelopment projects are required to comply with local and state stormwater guidelines. Where these projects exceed one acre, a “General Permit” issued through the California SWRCB is required. The general permit requires a storm water pollution prevention plan to be prepared for each construction project. Contractors must implement various construction BMPs as described in the California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) BMP manual. Runoff calculations are prepared using the criteria and methodology outlined in the “Lake County Hydrology Design Standards” manual. Additional guidance for meeting stormwater quality construction objectives for Lake County Construction projects is outlined in the Bay Area Stormwater Management Agencies Association “Design Guidance Manual for Stormwater Quality Protection” (Design Guidance Manual).

The Design Guidance Manual emphasizes a “start at the source” approach. The design concepts are intended to address pollutants at their source and minimize the volume of stormwater runoff. This manual outlines the following types of BMPs:
• Impermeable Surface Reduction
Permeable pavements are encouraged by allowing for a reduced overland flow “c-factor” which results in a lower runoff volume calculation and a lower treatment requirement. • Onsite Stormwater Storage
The use of detention and retention basins are encouraged in this manual with a reduction in stormwater runoff volume, and a related reduction in stormwater treatment needs. • Low-Impact Development
Self-treating areas are a component of Low-Impact Development. Self-treating design techniques outlined in the Design Guidance Manual include “conserved natural spaces, large landscaped areas, grass/vegetative swales, and turf block paving areas”.

Stormwater Capture and Reuse
In 2014, the State of California passed the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). This act was intended to provide a framework for local agencies to manage depleting groundwater basins in a sustainable manner. The Big Valley groundwater basin has been identified by the State of California as a “medium” priority groundwater basin in Bulletin 118 (most recently published in November 2021). The Big Valley Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) was formed in response to the Bulletin 118 classification of Big Valley. This agency prepared the “Big Valley Groundwater Sustainability Plan” (Big Valley GSP) to provide a method of attaining the SGMA sustainability goals.

The Big Valley GSP includes both projects and management actions aimed to achieve sustainability in the Big Valley basin. These projects and management actions are ranked in the GSP using a “Tier” 1-3 approach. Those ranked Tier 1 are backed with a commitment by the GSA to implement. Those projects in Tiers 2 and 3 are less developed and are not prioritized in the same way as Tier 1. Tier 2 recommended projects include the following:
• Implement Adobe Creek Conjunctive Use Project
• Rehabilitate Kelsey Creek Detention Structure
• Improve Water Demand Estimates
Stormwater Resources Plan
County of Lake Watershed Protection District |
Storm Water Resources Plan | March 2025 | 13
• Investigate Recharge Locations and Benefits
• Investigate Stormwater Capture for In Lieu Use
• Conduct Video Survey of RMS Wells
The Big Valley GSP also recommends developing an aerial electromagnetic study to better understand the extents of the Big Valley Aquifer. The aerial electromagnetic study and the other relevant proposed groundwater capital projects are included in this Stormwater Resources Plan Section 4.0 as potential stormwater resources capital projects.

3.7 ACTIVITIES THAT POLLUTE OR IMPAIR STORMWATER (10562-D7) The 2023 Clear Lake Watershed Sanitary Survey identifies several activities that pollute or impair stormwater, including erosion of natural soils, agriculture, timber and forestry, septic systems, urban runoff, and urban wastewater. These activities contribute to water quality degradation by introducing pollutants such as sediments, nutrients, and chemicals into the watershed. The survey emphasizes the need for improved management practices to mitigate these impacts and protect the water quality of Clear Lake.

The 2025 Lake County 319 Watershed Plan includes a more in-depth review of the pollution categories that were initially identified in the Sanitary Survey. The pollution categories are further refined as; “Wetland and Vegetative Filtration Loss”, “Hydromodification and Sediment Transport”, “Roadway Runoff”, and “Septage in Runoff”. The report contains background information related to each pollution category as well as typical BMPs. The report also includes recommendations for preparing subsequent planning studies to evaluate each pollution source further and develop actionable projects. One initial capital project has also been developed for each pollution category.

NO. 3- KELSEY CREEK DETENTION STRUCTURE REHABILITATION PLANNING Project Description
The Rehabilitation of the Kelsey Creek Detention Structure (KCD Structure) involves repair and replacement as it relates to the middle gate structure. KCD structure has been in operation since 1992. When operating the KCD Structure as designed, improve the natural form and functions of the creek which will benefit the riparian habitat, which plays a crucial role in the spawning habitat of the Clear Lake hitch. Additionally, this project will fund the installation of several stream flow telemetry gages above and downstream to provide valuable water flow and water saturation information to build out the knowledge needed to better understand and monitor the groundwater and surface water interactions on Kelsey Creek.

The purpose of the KCD Structure is to retain water for groundwater recharge which additionally will support downstream flows for migrating hitch and associated habitat. This project will ensure the continued proper operation of the KCD detention structure and the data collection tools needed to monitor that the structure if operation properly and as intended. The KCD Structure is a key piece of surface and groundwater management infrastructure that provides essential water for multi-use in a Severely Disadvantaged Community, a major agriculture center for the County, and a region that has suffered from water scarcity and drought impacts.

This project will support the recruitment of specialized contractor(s) to repair and maintain the detection structure and to install and calibrate the stream gages and verify the data upload and management of the produced data. All data collected during this project will be shared to a publicly accessible state data warehouse.

Outreach with the surrounding community will be included in this project in the form of project updates via in-person or virtual webinars and the production and distribution of digital and hard copy factsheets / infographics. Signage may also be needed and included in the outreach budget.

5.0 STORMWATER RESOURCE PROJECT RANKING
An integrated metrics-based analysis has been prepared in accordance with the 2015 SWRCB SWRP Guidelines. This report section uses quantifiable factors to rank the proposed projects that are included in the plan database. Table 5.1 illustrates the primary benefits that have been identified for each proposed project along with “multi-project benefits” as defined by the California SWRCB. For each project, a score has been calculated to reflect the percentage of multi-project benefits that are a part of the project. This score is illustrated in the white column on the far right of the table.

Table 5.2 illustrates the prioritizing criteria as identified on pages 29 and 30 of the 2015 SWRCB SWRP Guidelines as related to each project. The criteria listed in the table are used to calculate a “weighted average” score for each proposed project. The various projects are assigned a score between 0 and 100 for each category. If a component is not part of the project, the project is assigned a score of “0” for that component. If a component is a part of the project, the project is assigned a score of “100” for that component. Then the weighted average is calculated for each project using the criteria importance weight listed at the top of the table. The resulting weighted project score can be used to prioritize projects for future grant funding.

ATTACHMENT A- CA WATER CODE SECTION 10560
This text has been reproduced from California Code, WAT 10561 as accessed January 15th, 2025.

CA Water Code Section 10560
This part shall be known and may be cited as “The Stormwater Resource Planning Act.” CA Water Code Section 10561
The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following:
(a) In many parts of the state stormwater and dry weather runoff are underutilized sources of surface water and groundwater supplies. Instead of being viewed as a resource, they are often seen as a problem that must be moved to the ocean as quickly as possible or as a source of contamination, contributing to a loss of usable water supplies and the pollution and impairment of rivers, lakes, streams, and coastal waters. (b) Improved management of stormwater and dry weather runoff, including capture, treatment, and reuse by using the natural functions of soils and plants, can improve water quality, reduce localized flooding, and increase water supplies for beneficial uses and the environment.
(c) Most of California’s current stormwater drainage systems are designed to capture and convey water away from people and property rather than capturing that water for beneficial uses.
(d) Historical patterns of precipitation are predicted to change and an increasing amount of California’s water is predicted to fall not as snow in the mountains, but as rain in other areas of the state. This will likely have a profound and transforming effect on California’s hydrologic cycle and much of that water will no longer be captured by California’s reservoirs, many of which are located to capture snow melt.
(e) When properly designed and managed, the capture and use of stormwater and dry weather runoff can contribute significantly to local water supplies through onsite storage and use, or letting it infiltrate into the ground to recharge groundwater, either onsite or at regional facilities, thereby increasing available supplies of drinking water. (f) New developments and redevelopments should be designed to be consistent with lowimpact development principles to improve the retention, use, and infiltration of stormwater and dry weather runoff onsite or at regional facilities. (g) Stormwater and dry weather runoff can be managed to achieve environmental and societal benefits such as wetland creation and restoration, riverside habitats, instream flows, and an increase in park and recreation lands, and urban green space. (h) Stormwater and dry weather runoff management through multiobjective projects can achieve additional benefits, including augmenting recreation opportunities for Stormwater Resources Plan
County of Lake Watershed Protection District |
Storm Water Resources Plan | March 2025 | 47
communities, increased tree canopy, reduced urban heat island effect, and improved air quality.
(i) Proper planning and implementation is vital to ensure that the water supply and other benefits potentially available through better management of stormwater and dry weather runoff do not come at the expense of diminished water quality. (j) The capture and use of stormwater and dry weather runoff is not only one of the most costeffective sources of new water supplies, it is a supply that can often be provided using significantly less energy than other sources of new water supplies.

CA Water Code 10562
(a) One or more public agencies may develop a stormwater resource plan pursuant to this part. (b) A stormwater resource plan shall:
(1) Be developed on a watershed basis.
(2) Identify and prioritize stormwater and dry weather runoff capture projects for implementation in a quantitative manner, using a metrics-based and integrated evaluation and analysis of multiple benefits to maximize water supply, water quality, flood management, environmental, and other community benefits within the watershed. (3) Provide for multiple benefit project design to maximize water supply, water quality, and environmental and other community benefits.
(4) Provide for community participation in plan development and implementation. (5) Be consistent with, and assist in, compliance with total maximum daily load (TMDL) implementation plans and applicable national pollutant discharge elimination system (NPDES) permits.
(6) Be consistent with all applicable waste discharge permits. (7) Upon development, be submitted to any applicable integrated regional water management group. Upon receipt, the integrated regional water management group shall incorporate the stormwater resource plan into its integrated regional water management plan.
(8) Prioritize the use of lands or easements in public ownership for stormwater and dry weather runoff projects.
(c) The proposed or adopted plan shall meet the standards outlined in this section. The plan need not be referred to as a “stormwater resource plan.” Existing planning documents may be utilized as a functionally equivalent plan, including, but not limited to, watershed management plans, integrated resource plans, urban water management plans, or similar plans. If a planning document does not meet the standards of this section, a collection of local and regional plans may constitute a functional equivalent, if the plans collectively meet all of the requirements of this part.

Stormwater Resources Plan
County of Lake Watershed Protection District |
Storm Water Resources Plan | March 2025 | 48
(d) An entity developing a stormwater resource plan shall identify in the plan all of the following:
(1) Opportunities to augment local water supply through groundwater recharge or storage for beneficial use of stormwater and dry weather runoff. (2) Opportunities for source control for both pollution and stormwater and dry weather runoff volume, onsite and local infiltration, and use of stormwater and dry weather runoff. (3) Projects to reestablish natural water drainage treatment and infiltration systems, or mimic natural system functions to the maximum extent feasible. (4) Opportunities to develop, restore, or enhance habitat and open space through stormwater and dry weather runoff management, including wetlands, riverside habitats, parkways, and parks.
(5) Opportunities to use existing publicly owned lands and easements, including, but not limited to, parks, public open space, community gardens, farm and agricultural preserves, schoolsites, and government office buildings and complexes, to capture, clean, store, and use stormwater and dry weather runoff either onsite or offsite. (6) Design criteria and best management practices to prevent stormwater and dry weather runoff pollution and increase effective stormwater and dry weather runoff management for new and upgraded infrastructure and residential, commercial, industrial, and public development. These design criteria and best management practices shall accomplish all of the following:
(A) Reduce effective impermeability within a watershed by creating permeable surfaces and directing stormwater and dry weather runoff to permeable surfaces, retention basins, cisterns, and other storage for beneficial use. (B) Increase water storage for beneficial use through a variety of onsite storage techniques.
(C) Increase groundwater supplies through infiltration, where appropriate and feasible.
(D) Support low-impact development for new and upgraded infrastructure and development using low-impact techniques.
(7) Activities that generate or contribute to the pollution of stormwater or dry weather runoff, or that impair the effective beneficial use of stormwater or dry weather runoff. (8) Projects and programs to ensure the effective implementation of the stormwater resource plan pursuant to this part and achieve multiple benefits. These projects and programs shall include the development of appropriate decision support tools and the data necessary to use the decision support tools.
(9) Ordinances or other mechanisms necessary to ensure the effective implementation of the stormwater resource plan pursuant to this part.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Approval of a Revocable License Agreement with Westside Community Park for Development and Operation of the
Westside Community Trail Park on CLMSD Property
MEETING DATE: 12/16/2025
SUBMITTED BY: Kevin M. Ingram, City Manager
PURPOSE OF REPORT: ☐Information only ☒ Discussion ☒Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

Review and consider approval of a revised revocable License Agreement with Westside Community Park (WCP) authorizing construction, operation, and maintenance of a multi-use trail park on lands owned by the City of Lakeport Municipal Sewer District (CLMSD).

Action is requested of the City Council acting in its capacity as the Board of Directors of CLMSD.

BACKGROUND:

This item was previously presented at the December 2, 2025 City Council meeting. At that time, no action could be taken because it was discovered that the underlying property is owned not by the City of Lakeport, but by the City of Lakeport Municipal Sewer District (CLMSD). The license agreement has since been corrected to properly reflect CLMSD as the landowner.

As summarized in the prior staff report (included as Attachment 3), the City and Westside Community Park have a longstanding partnership focused on expanding recreational amenities for the community. Over several years, WCP and City Utilities staff identified unused portions of the CLMSD wastewater treatment property as a suitable location for a non-commercial, multi-use trail system serving equestrian, hiking, and mountain biking users.

The project concept builds on the Westside Park Master Plan vision and decades of volunteer-driven development at Westside Community Park. The proposed partnership would allow WCP to design, construct, and maintain all trails and related improvements at no cost to the City or CLMSD, while ensuring that all activities remain fully compatible with ongoing sewer district operations.

The amended license agreement (Attachment 1) presented today corrects ownership references and restructures the action for approval by the CLMSD Board of Directors.

DISCUSSION:

Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the License Agreement with WCP to allow the nonprofit to construct and operate a multi-use recreational trail system for equestrian, hiking, and mountain biking use on District-owned CLMSD lands. The agreement establishes a clear framework for enhancing public access to open Meeting Date: 12/16/2025 Page 2 Agenda Item # VII.D.1.
space at no cost to the District, while fully preserving the District’s operational authority over wastewater treatment activities and long-term site management.

The amended agreement continues to authorize WCP to construct and operate a public recreational trail network on designated portions of CLMSD property while preserving full operational control and revocation authority for the District. Key elements remain unchanged from the December 2 version, including:
• A revocable, long-term license term providing stability for phased project development • Authorization for equestrian, hiking, and mountain biking uses • WCP responsibility for all design, construction, maintenance, signage, fencing, safety measures, and access road upkeep
• Protection of CLMSD operational areas and infrastructure • Annual fee of $1.00 and full indemnification of CLMSD and City The corrected agreement ensures that all legal, operational, and property-ownership requirements are properly aligned before the project proceeds through Lake County’s land use entitlement process.

OPTIONS:

1. Approve the License Agreement with Westside Community Park and authorize the Board Chair (Mayor) to execute the agreement on behalf of CLMSD.

2. Do not approve the License Agreement and direct staff to notify the Westside Community Park that the District will not move forward with this project at this time.

3. Take no action at this time.

4. Provide alternative direction to staff.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMAPACT:

The granting of this revocable license is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301 (Existing Facilities), as the licensing of an existing public facility and topographical features involving negligible expansion of existing or former use; section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), as permitting the installation of small structures such as picnic tables, benches, signage, etc.; section 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land), as the minor alteration in the condition of land and/or vegetation which do not involve the removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees; and 15061(b)(3), as it can be seen with certainty that the license and establishment of a trail system will not have a significant effect on the environment. Any future development associated with trail and facility development would be subject to additional CEQA analysis at the time of proposed development.

FISCAL IMPACT:
☐ None ☒ $1.00 Budgeted Item? ☐Yes ☒ No
Budget Adjustment Needed? ☐Yes ☒ No If yes, amount of appropriation increase: $ Affected fund(s): ☐ General Fund ☐ Water OM Fund ☒ Sewer OM Fund ☐ Other:

Comments: There is no direct cost to CLMSD or the City, as all trail construction, maintenance, and operational responsibilities will be carried out by Westside Community Park. The City’s only financial obligation is limited to existing CLMSD property operations, which remain unchanged by the agreement.

COUNCIL PRIORITIES:
☐ Priority #1: Public Safety & Crisis Response
☐ Priority #2: Disaster Resiliency
Meeting Date: 12/16/2025 Page 3 Agenda Item # VII.D.1.
☐ Priority #3: Good Governance & Fiscal Stability
☐ Priority #4: Capital Infrastructure Improvement
☒ Priority #5: Safe, Sustainable & Attractive Neighborhoods ☒ Priority #6: Economic Development
SUGGESTED MOTIONS:

Move to approve the License Agreement with Westside Community Park for construction, operation, and maintenance of the Westside Community Trail Park on CLMSD property, and authorize the Board Chair to execute the agreement on behalf of the CLMSD Board.

License Agreement Page 7
381471.8
The minimum coverages and policy forms specified in this Section 9 are subject to review at the end of every two (2) year period this License remains in effect. On such review, Licensor shall preliminarily determine whether it considers the coverage adequate in light of the value of money, the cost of coverage, the experience of the parties during the preceding two (2) years with respect to claims, actions, settlements, judgments and other matters relevant to the question of adequate insurance coverage. If Licensor determines that the coverage is not adequate, it shall specify the coverage requested in writing and Licensee shall continue to satisfy the requirements of this Section 9 by procuring and filing proof of such additional coverage as requested by Licensor. If Licensee does not agree, the parties shall attempt to settle the question by negotiation and appropriate modification of this Section 9. However, if the parties are unable to agree after hearing before the City of Lakeport Municipal Sewer District’s Board of Directors, the decision of the Board of Directors shall be final.
c. General Liability Insurance. Commercial General Liability Insurance shall be no less broad than ISO form CG 00 01. Coverage must be on a standard Occurrence form. ClaimsMade, modified, limited or restricted Occurrence forms are not acceptable. d. Worker’s Compensation Insurance. Licensee is aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which requires every employer to carry Workers’ Compensation (or to undertake equivalent self-insurance) and shall maintain Worker’s Compensation insurance if and as required by the laws of the State of California. e. Subcontractors. Licensee shall require each of its subcontractors to maintain insurance coverage that meets all of the requirements of this License. Licensee agrees that if it does not keep the insurance coverages required by this License in full force and effect, Licensor may either (i) immediately terminate this License; or (ii) take out the necessary insurance and pay the premium(s) thereon at Licensee’s expense.
f. Proof of Renewal. Licensee shall provide proof that policies of insurance required by this License expiring during the term of this License have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Such proof will be furnished at least two (2) weeks prior to the expiration of the coverages.
g. Additional Insured Endorsements. The Licensor, its Board of Directors, commissions, officers, and employees, as well as the City of Lakeport, its City Council, commissions, officers, and employees must be endorsed as an additional insured for each policy required herein, including the general liability and automobile policies for liability arising out of ongoing and completed operations by or on behalf of the Licensee. Licensee’s insurance policies shall be primary as respects any claims related to or as the result of the Licensee’s work or performance. Any insurance, pooled coverage or self-insurance maintained by the Licensor, its elected or appointed officials, directors, officers, agents, employees, volunteers, or consultants, or the City of Lakeport, its elected or appointed officials, directors, officers, agents, employees, volunteers, or consultants shall be non-contributory. All of the policies required under this License shall contain an endorsement providing that the policies cannot be canceled or reduced except on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Licensor. Licensee agrees to require its insurer License Agreement Page 8
381471.8
to modify the certificates of insurance to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, and to delete the word “endeavor” with regard to any notice provisions. All endorsements shall be signed by a person authorized by the insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. h. Failure to Maintain Coverage. In the event any policy is canceled prior to the termination or expiration of the term of this License and the Licensee does not furnish a new certificate of insurance prior to cancellation, Licensor has the right, but not the duty, to obtain the required insurance and deduct the premium(s) from any amounts due the Licensee under this License. Failure of the Licensee to maintain the insurance required by this License, or to comply with any of the requirements of this section, shall constitute a material breach of this License.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Approval of a Revocable License Agreement with Westside Community Park for Development and Operation of the
Westside Community Trail Park on CLMSD Property
MEETING DATE: 12/02/2025
SUBMITTED BY: Kevin M. Ingram, City Manager
PURPOSE OF REPORT: ☐Information only ☒ Discussion ☒Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

Review and consider adoption of a revocable License Agreement with Westside Community Park (WCP) authorizing the construction, operation, and maintenance of a multi-use trails park on designated portions of the City-owned CLMSD wastewater treatment property.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Lakeport and Westside Community Park (WCP) have collaborated for many years to expand recreational opportunities for the Lakeport community. Building on this longstanding partnership, the proposed trail park represents the next major step in creating accessible, volunteer-supported recreational amenities that serve a wide range of users.

Westside Community Park Partnership & Committee Overview: Westside Community Park is a volunteer-led nonprofit formed to plan, develop, and enhance recreation facilities serving the Lakeport area. Under the longterm 2008 Memorandum of Understanding between the City and WCP, the nonprofit has successfully led the development of Westside Community Park Phase II—fundraising and constructing facilities at its own cost, coordinating volunteer labor and youth sports partnerships, and delivering substantial public benefit without City financial contribution. As highlighted in the organization’s recent newsletters, the Committee continues to advance major recreation initiatives, mobilize local volunteers, pursue grants, and support long-term park planning—making them uniquely capable of constructing and operating the proposed multi-use trails park on CLMSD property.

Evolution Toward an Equestrian and Trails Facility: The vision for equestrian and trail recreation dates back to the 1998, 2003, and 2011 Westside Park Master Plans, each of which identified equestrian amenities and trail systems as core project elements. Over time, and based on further evaluation of suitable land, City staff and WCP volunteers identified unused portions of the CLMSD wastewater treatment property as better suited for large-scale equestrian activity due to terrain, acreage, and separation from residential neighborhoods.

Between 2021 and 2022, the City Council reviewed presentations from WCP regarding the development of an equestrian center and supported a term sheet and Letter of Intent associated with a Proposition 68 grant proposal. Although the grant was unsuccessful, the WCP Board reaffirmed its commitment to the project and adapted its strategy toward developing a multi-use recreational trails park as the first phase—an approach that can serve equestrian, hiking, and mountain biking communities with lower costs and broad community benefit.

Meeting Date: Page 2 Agenda Item #
425388.1
Since 2022, WCP and City Utilities staff have worked collaboratively to identify trail alignments that do not interfere with wastewater treatment operations and are compatible with environmental conditions and longterm CLMSD needs.

CLMSD Property Location and Jurisdiction: Although owned by the City of Lakeport, the CLMSD property is located outside City limits within the unincorporated area of Lake County. As such, the project is subject to the County’s land use entitlement process. Westside Community Park has already begun coordination with the Lake County Community Development Department to identify required permits and environmental review steps, and the City will continue partnering in these discussions to support a smooth entitlement and development process.

DISCUSSION:

Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the License Agreement with WCP to allow the nonprofit to construct and operate a multi-use recreational trail system for equestrian, hiking, and mountain biking use on City-owned CLMSD lands. The agreement establishes a clear framework for enhancing public access to open space at no cost to the City, while fully preserving the City’s operational authority over wastewater treatment activities and long-term site management.

The proposed license formalizes a public-private partnership that builds on the City’s decades-long relationship with WCP and leverages the organization’s volunteer, fundraising, and project management capacity to expand recreation opportunities well beyond what the City could support on its own. Over the past two years, Utilities, Public Works, and Administrative staff have worked closely with WCP to identify suitable trail areas and ensure that proposed alignments do not conflict with CLMSD operations. Extensive care has been taken to avoid areas needed for wastewater disposal, pond maintenance, pipeline infrastructure, and service access, ensuring compatibility between recreational use and the primary public purpose of the property.

This partnership model continues WCP’s longstanding role in helping develop regional recreation amenities that enhance quality of life for Lakeport residents and the greater community. The full proposed license agreement is included as Attachment 1, and key components are summarized below:
• License Term: The proposed license establishes a 30-year term beginning upon execution, providing WCP with the certainty needed to plan, fund, and phase trail development over time. However, the license remains fully revocable at any time by the City to protect public health, safety, or the operational needs of the CLMSD wastewater treatment system. This structure balances long-term project stability for WCP with the City’s need to maintain flexibility and retain full control of the property for essential municipal functions.
• Permitted Uses: The license authorizes Westside Community Park to develop and operate a noncommercial public trail system accommodating horseback riding, hiking, and mountain biking. While individual trail segments may be designated for specific uses to reduce user conflicts, the overall trail area will remain accessible to all user groups. The agreement also clarifies that the City will not be responsible for enforcing any trail-specific use designations established by the operator. • Trail Construction and Maintenance: Westside Community Park will be solely responsible for all aspects of trail design, construction, improvements, and ongoing maintenance, including trail surfacing and repair, installation of signage and fencing, safety measures, litter and debris management, and upkeep of the access road with appropriate dust control. The City will not provide labor or financial support for any portion of trail development or maintenance. To ensure compatibility with CLMSD operations and site conditions, each proposed trail segment will be subject to City review and approval prior to construction.
• Access: Public access to the trail system will occur through the existing Caltrans-approved encroachment at 3865 State Highway 175. Westside Community Park will be responsible for maintaining the access Meeting Date: Page 3 Agenda Item #
425388.1
road with adequate surfacing to ensure safe vehicle entry and to minimize dust impacts on neighboring properties.
• Fees, Insurance and Indemnification: The license establishes an annual fee of $1.00, reflecting the substantial public benefit generated by the project. Westside Community Park will be required to maintain general liability insurance naming the City as an additional insured, and must indemnify and hold the City harmless for all activities associated with trail construction, operation, and use.

Alignment with Citywide Goals: The proposed license agreement strongly aligns with several adopted City goals and policy priorities by expanding recreational access, activating underutilized public lands, and supporting longterm community wellness and open space preservation. Together, these elements ensure the project advances the City’s broader vision for high-quality recreation, sustainable land management, and an enhanced quality of life for Lakeport residents.

City Manager Goal IT-3 – Recreation Program Master Plan and Activation of Existing Parks: The proposed agreement directly supports the City’s FY 2025/26 Goal IT-3 by enabling the activation of an underutilized Cityowned property for broad recreational purposes. The trails park expands access to outdoor recreation, supports youth- and family-oriented activities, and establishes a framework in partnership with WCP that can be integrated into a future Recreation Program Master Plan.

City Council Priority Area: Safe, Sustainable & Attractive Neighborhoods: This project advances multiple priority objectives by:
• Increasing access to parks and recreational amenities • Supporting community health and active lifestyles
• Expanding access to open space
• Preserving natural vistas
• Promoting environmentally protective and economically beneficial public land uses The activation of the CLMSD property as a public recreational asset aligns with the City’s commitment to health, safety, and environmental stewardship.

Westside Park Master Plan: The agreement is fully consistent with long-standing master planning objectives that identify equestrian uses, trail development, and natural area access as core recreation priorities for the Lakeport community. The proposed trail park represents the next incremental step toward a future equestrian center envisioned since the 1990s.

General Plan Consistency: This project aligns with two key General Plan goals:
• Objective PR-1: Provide recreational facilities and access that support play, relaxation, and enrichment for all community members.
• Objective OS-2: Preserve and ensure access to natural open space areas harmonious with environmental and neighborhood conditions.

The trail park expands low-impact recreational opportunities that connect residents and visitors to the natural landscape surrounding Lakeport.

OPTIONS:

1. Approve the License Agreement with Westside Community Park and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.

2. Do not approve the License Agreement and direct staff to notify the Westside Community Park that the City will not move forward with this project at this time.

3. Take no action at this time.

4. Provide alternative direction to staff.

Meeting Date: Page 4 Agenda Item #
425388.1
ENVIRONMENTAL IMAPACT:

The granting of this revocable license is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301 (Existing Facilities), as the licensing of an existing public facility and topographical features involving negligible expansion of existing or former use; section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), as permitting the installation of small structures such as picnic tables, benches, signage, etc.; section 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land), as the minor alteration in the condition of land and/or vegetation which do not involve the removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees; and 15061(b)(3), as it can be seen with certainty that the license and establishment of a trail system will not have a significant effect on the environment. Any future development associated with trail and facility development would be subject to additional CEQA analysis at the time of proposed development.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Establishment of the City Lands Advisory Committee as a Permanent Standing Committee to Advise on the Use, Lease, and Disposition of City-Owned Properties
MEETING DATE: 12/16/2025
SUBMITTED BY: Kevin M. Ingram, City Manager
PURPOSE OF REPORT: Information only Discussion Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

The City Council is being asked to adopt a resolution establishing the City Lands Advisory Committee as a permanent standing committee pursuant to Government Code section 54952(b) to advise on a broad range of matters concerning City-owned lands, associated agreements, and strategic land use considerations. The body will remain advisory only, with all final decisions reserved for the full City Council.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

In September 2024, the City Council approved creation of the City Lands Working Group to provide strategic review of proposals involving City-owned lands, leases, and cooperative agreements with community partners.

The Working Group was formed in response to multiple active and emerging land-use proposals—including the Carnegie Library lease, the CLMSD Equestrian & Trails project, and the Dutch Harbor Hotel development—which required coordinated policy direction and early evaluation prior to formal City Council consideration.

The initial purpose of the Working Group was to more thoroughly evaluate a range of alternatives and options, streamline review processes, and ensure that all land-related proposals aligned with the City’s broader goals for economic development, community well-being, and public space optimization.

Effectiveness and Value of the Working Group (2024 & 2025): Over the past two years, the Working Group has proven to be an exceptionally valuable tool for staff, particularly in its ability to evaluate alternatives, explore options, and guide early project direction. Its work has strengthened several key community partnerships ultimately brought forward for City Council approval, including the CLERC Carnegie Library lease establishing a community education center, the Westside Community Park license for development of the trails park on CLMSD property, and an expanded partnership with the Lake County Arts Council that will allow the Silveira Community Center to expand use by the public to include evenings and weekends. Additional efforts have included assisting with the Dutch Harbor hotel attraction initiative, initiating Surplus Land Act proceedings for the former Transfer Station property, and providing recommendations for an upcoming request for proposals for cattle grazing on CLMSD lands, along with review of numerous other smaller-scale agreements and propertyrelated matters.

Need for a Permanent Standing Committee: Given the volume, diversity, and strategic importance of City-owned lands—and the demonstrated benefits of structured advisory review—staff now recommends transitioning the Meeting Date: 12/16/2025 Page 2 Agenda Item # VII.D.2.
temporary working group into a permanent standing committee, consistent with Government Code provisions and the structure described in the proposed resolution.

The permanent City Lands Advisory Committee would:
• Provide a continuous and consistent venue for the review of proposed uses, leases, dispositions, or other agreements involving City-owned land
• Offer strategic guidance to ensure City assets are used in ways that advance community goals • Support long-term planning, public transparency, and cross-departmental coordination • Allow for proactive rather than reactive review of opportunities related to City-owned property The Committee will remain advisory only, without authority to approve, deny, or execute agreements. All recommendations will be forwarded to the full City Council for consideration at publicly noticed meetings.

This structure reflects best practices for municipal land stewardship, ensures ongoing public engagement, and strengthens governance over some of the City’s most important long-term assets.

OPTIONS:

1. Adopt the Resolution establishing the City Lands Advisory Committee as a permanent standing committee.

2. Take no action.

3. Or alternatively, the Council may provide staff alternative direction.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Sewer Main Repair – Martin St. MEETING
DATE:
12/16/2025
SUBMITTED BY: Paul Harris, Utilities Director
PURPOSE OF REPORT: Information only Discussion Action Item WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

The City Council is being asked to award a Purchase Order/Contract Agreement to Miskis Services Inc. to slip line an existing 8” sewer main.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

During construction of the 2024 pipeline project, a 200’ section of 8” DI sewer main on Martin St was identified as needing replacement due to the age of the pipeline. This could not be reasonably accomplished with trenching due to the numerous storm drain conflicts in the immediate vicinity. As a result, all service laterals were rerouted beyond the conflicts leaving the aged section as only a flow through main which transitions into the newly installed pipeline.

After the completion and video inspection of the newly installed pipe, it was decided that a slip line for this section of pipe was the most cost-effective solution to greatly extend the life of this segment. The existing DI pipe was structurally sound so an interior lining would be almost equivalent to a newly installed pipe and eliminate all potential points of I&I from the abandoned laterals.

Miksis Service Inc. was requested to assess and provide a quote for this slip line segment. Miskis is the only contractor in our region qualified to perform this type of work. The Dynaliner thermoformed PVC pipe is the only material capable of this type of transition which is proprietary to this contractor, which resulted in a sole source bid. They have performed several other point repairs, manhole rehabilitations, and slip line installations in our collection system over the years.

OPTIONS:

1. Authorize City Manager to signa Purchase Order/Contract with Miksis Services to perform a slip line of 200’ on Martin St for $26,360.

2. Provide other direction to staff.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None $26,360 Budgeted Item? Yes No

MSI will install an 8” Dynaliner thermoformed seamless PVC pipe liner that will “jump size” from the transition between the 8” and 10” diameters. After installation, one 4” service lateral in the 10” section will be reinstated. All lateral connections in the 8” section will remain covered by the pipe liner.
