Hi Hilary,

I have reviewed the attached application and it does not appear to impact County roads in any way.
We therefore have not comments or conditions to add to their permit.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

RE: Support for Assembly Bill 1559 (Dodd)
Dear Assembly member Dodd:
On behalf of the Lakeport City Council, I would like to express our support for your bill, AB 1559,
which would increase the period for individuals and businesses to defer payment of taxes and
fees to the Board of Equalization from one month to three months in the case of a declared
disaster.
As you are aware, the Valley Fire affected approximately 60 businesses in the Cobb Mountain,
Middletown and Hidden Valley Lake communities. Harbin Hot Springs, the Countys 10th largest
employer was destroyed; Calpine, lost five of its 14 power plants at the Geysers; and three
fourths of the Countys ranchers had range land and outbuildings destroyed by the fire.
As you know Lake County has not recovered from the Great Recession and will now be faced
with recovering from the wildfires of 2015 as well. Providing the temporary relief from paying
taxes and fees will help the affected individuals and businesses focus their limited resources
where they are needed most - to restore their livelihood.
We appreciate your efforts to help Lake County during this challenging time and are pleased to
express our support for AB 1559.
Sincerely,
Marc Spillman
Mayor, City of Lakeport

January 28, 2016

City Council
City of Lakeport
Lakeport, California

We have audited the financial statements of City of Lakeport (City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015
and have issued our report thereon dated January 28, 2016. Professional standards require that we advise you of
the following matters relating to our audit.
Our Responsibility in Relation to the Financial Statement Audit
As communicated in our engagement letter dated February 6, 2015, our responsibility, as described by
professional standards, is to form and express an opinion(s) about whether the financial statements that have
been prepared by management with your oversight are presented fairly, in all material respects, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audit of the financial
statements does not relieve you or management of your respective responsibilities.
Our responsibility, as prescribed by professional standards, is to plan and perform our audit to obtain
reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting
as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly,
as part of our audit, we considered the internal control of the City solely for the purpose of determining our
audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control.
We are also responsible for communicating significant matters related to the audit that are, in our professional
judgment, relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the financial reporting process. However, we are not
required to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other matters to communicate to you.
Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
We conducted our audit consistent with the planned scope and timing we previously communicated to you.
Compliance with All Ethics Requirements Regarding Independence
The engagement team, others in our firm, as appropriate, and our firm has complied with all relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence.

Qualitative Aspects of the Entitys Significant Accounting Practices


Significant Accounting Policies
Management has the responsibility to select and use appropriate accounting policies. A summary of the
significant accounting policies adopted by the City is included in Note 1 to the financial statements. As
described in Note 1 to the financial statements, during the year, the City changed its method of accounting for
pensions by adopting Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Pensions an amendment of GASB Statement No. 27, and GASB Statement No. 71,
Pension Transition for Contributions Made Subsequent to the Measurement Date an amendment of GASB
Statement No. 68. Accordingly, the cumulative effect of the accounting change as of the beginning of the year
has been reported in the Statement of Activities. No matters have come to our attention that would require us,
under professional standards, to inform you about (1) the methods used to account for significant unusual
transactions and (2) the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which
there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.
Significant Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on
managements current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience about
past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly
sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future
events affecting them may differ markedly from managements current judgments.
The most sensitive accounting estimates affecting the financial statements are useful lives of capital assets
(useful lives).
Managements estimate of the useful lives is based on experience with and observation of capital assets, by
category (e.g. infrastructure) as well as industry standards, when applicable (i.e. buildings). We evaluated the
key factors and assumptions used to develop the useful lives and determined that it is reasonable in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Financial Statement Disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures involve significant judgment and are particularly sensitive because of
their significance to financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the Citys financial
statements relate to commitments and contingencies.
Significant Difficulties Encountered during the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management relating to the performance of the audit.
Uncorrected and Corrected Misstatements
For purposes of this communication, professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely
misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that we believe are trivial, and communicate them to
the appropriate level of management. Further, professional standards require us to also communicate the effect
of uncorrected misstatements related to prior periods on the relevant classes of transactions, account balances or
disclosures, and the financial statements as a whole and each applicable opinion unit. Management has
corrected all identified misstatements
In addition, professional standards require us to communicate to you all material, corrected misstatements that
were brought to the attention of management as a result of our audit procedures. None of the misstatements
identified by us as a result of our audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either
individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole or applicable opinion units.

ATTACHMENT 1

Disagreements with Management


For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether
or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, which could
be significant to the Citys financial statements or the auditors report. No such disagreements arose during the
course of the audit.
Representations Requested from Management
We have requested certain written representations from management, which are included in a separate letter
dated January 28, 2016.
Managements Consultations with Other Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting
matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other
accountants regarding auditing and accounting matters.
Other Significant Findings or Issues
In the normal course of our professional association with the City, we generally discuss a variety of matters,
including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, operating and regulatory conditions
affecting the City, and operational plans and strategies that may affect the risks of material misstatement. None
of the matters discussed resulted in a condition to our retention as the entitys auditors.
Communication of Internal Control Related Matters
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Citys internal control over
financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances
for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Citys internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Citys internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct,
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entitys financial
statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet
important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section
and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or
significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal
control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been
identified.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council and management of the City and is
not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
Very truly yours,

Letter of Transmittal

January 30, 2016

To the Honorable Mayor, members of the City Council and citizens of the City of
Lakeport:
We are pleased to submit the City of Lakeports Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. This report is
prepared in accordance with state law, generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), and the best management practices for financial reporting as defined by
the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). California law requires
that a financial report be prepared annually and audited by a licensed certified
public accountant within a reasonable period of time following the year end.
These financial statements are presented in conformity with GAAP and audited
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Responsibility for the accuracy of the data and the fairness of
presentation, including all footnotes and disclosures, rests with City
management. We believe the data presented in this report is accurate in all
material respects, and all statements and disclosures necessary for the reader
to obtain a thorough understanding of the Citys financial activities have been
included. GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction,
overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form
of Managements Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is
designed to complement MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The
Citys MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent
auditor.
Management of the City has established an internal control framework
that is designed both to protect the Citys assets from loss, theft, or misuse and
to compile sufficient, reliable information for the preparation of the Citys
financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal
controls should not outweigh their benefits, the Citys framework of internal
controls has been designed to provide reasonable, rather than absolute,

City of Lakeport, California


Introductory Section

ATTACHMENT 2

assurance that the financial statements will be free from material


misstatements.
As the City did not expend over $500,000 of federal money during this
reporting period, it was not required to conduct a broader, federally mandated
OMB Circular A-133 Single Audit designed to meet the special needs of federal
grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require
the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the
financial statements, but also on the audited governments internal controls and
compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls
and legal requirements involving the administration of federal awards.
While traditionally addressed to the governing body of the City, this
report is intended to provide relevant financial information to external users
(non-management employees), who include the citizens of the City of Lakeport,
City staff, creditors, investors, and other concerned readers. We encourage all
readers to contact the Finance Department with any questions or comments
concerning this report.
The Citys financial statements have been audited by JJACPA, Inc., a firm
of certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit is to provide
reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2015, are free of material misstatements. The independent
audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.
Based upon the audit, the independent auditors concluded that there
was reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion, which states that the
Citys financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, are
presented fairly in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditors report is
presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
Profile of the City of Lakeport
The City of Lakeport is a partial service city (as opposed to full service) in
that it provides most typical municipal functions, including public safety (police),
public works, community development and parks and recreation. In addition,
the City provides water and wastewater services. It does not provide library or
fire protection, as those are activities of the County of Lake and the Lakeport
Fire Protection District, respectively. It operates in a council-manager form of
government, whereby the council serves as the legislative body and the City
Manager its executive.

area are: government (federal, state, local); education; and the service and
retail trades. The agricultural and construction sectors are important and the
transportation/public utilities, wholesale trade, finance/insurance/real estate
and manufacturing sectors round out the employment picture. Some of the
larger employers in the primary trade area include Sutter Lakeside Community
Hospital, Lakeport Skilled Nursing Center, PG&E, Lake County Record Bee,
Konocti Vista Casino, the City of Lakeport and the County of Lake.
Approximately 45% of all jobs in the county are located in the greater
Lakeport area.
The City is committed to providing high quality services in an economical
manner. For fiscal year 2014-15, the Citys efforts were focused in the following
areas:

Facilities and Infrastructure Rehabilitation of the water and


sewer system; public rights-of-way, including Parallel Drive and
other non-arterial road ways.
Economic Development Promoting economic development
(recruitment and retention of businesses) continued to be one of
the Citys key operational priorities. The City Manager worked
closely with staff and the business community to maintain a strong
regional and local economic environment.
Cost and liability reduction, particularly related to personnel fringe
benefits.

This report includes all funds of the City and its blended component
units: the Successor Agency to the Lakeport Redevelopment Agency and the
City of Lakeport Municipal Sewer District (CLMSD), for which the City is
financially accountable.
The City Council establishes annual budgets for the general fund,
proprietary funds, and all special revenue funds, with a possible exception for
certain special revenue funds for which expenditures are controlled by grant
funding or by special assessments. Budgetary control is legally maintained at
the fund level. Department heads submit budget requests to the City Manager.
The City Manager prepares an estimate of revenues and prepares
recommendations for the next years budget. The preliminary budget may or
may not be amended by the City Council and is adopted by resolution by the
City Council on or before June 30.
The Lakeport City Council consists of five members, elected at-large to
four-year overlapping terms. Council members must be residents of the City.

The positions of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem are chosen by the Council through
its own policy. The Mayor conducts the Council meetings and represents the
City in ceremonial occasions.
The City Council serves as the policy board for the municipality. It
provides policy direction, establishes goals, and sets priorities for the City
government. In addition to serving as the policy makers for the community, the
City Council also is responsible for numerous land use decisions within its
borders, including the General Plan. The City Council appoints the City
Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk, and all members of advisory boards and
commissions.
Current Economic Conditions and Outlook
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best
understood when it is considered from the broader perspective of the specific
environment within which the City operates. Understanding that property and
sales taxes generate the Citys largest two sources of revenue, it is important to
look at the economy in the context of peoples wherewithal for producing
general fund tax revenues.
Lake County suffered immensely from the Great Recession, but has
begun a slow recovery. The recovery is evidenced by slight improvements in the
unemployment rate, consumer spending (through sales tax analysis), building
permits, and planning work. The housing market, while starting to show signs of
life, continues to experience decreasing assessed valuation rates, but
foreclosure rates have improved significantly.
Unemployment rates in Lake County continued to be higher than the
national average at 6.7% in June of 2015, but this is down slightly from the prior
year3. Lakeport remains below the Countys unemployment rate, which has
been a historical normality due primarily to its demographic makeup.
The Citys economic development efforts and implementation of
revised financial policies help to promote Lakeports long-term fiscal stability.
This was a cornerstone in managements approach to debt structuring, capital
improvement planning, labor negotiations, and service delivery.
As mentioned earlier, the Citys principal general fund revenue sources
are sales tax and property taxes. These sources are expected to grow modestly,
averaging of 1-4 percent per year for the next five years. A one-time spike in
sales tax is expected in fiscal year 2016 as the state winds down the triple flip.

The housing market has improved markedly; however, property tax


receipts remain flat due to retroactive Prop 8 adjustments still being processed
by the Lake County Assessor. These revenues are expected to remain relatively
flat in FY 2015-16 but stronger than in the unincorporated areas of Lake County.
We believe that the housing market will continue to move forward positively.
As part of its path toward maintaining fiscal sustainability, the City may
rely on one-time
uses of its
reserves to
ensure the best
possible level of
service to its
citizen. The City
Manager
recommended
its use in FY
2014-15
resulting from a
general fund
surplus in FY 201314.
Financial Condition: General Revenues - Top Ten:
The Citys top ten revenue sources account for approximately 80% of
total general fund income. Focusing on these sources can provide an excellent
understanding of the Citys revenue position.
Overall, these key revenues performed worse in 2015 than in 2014. The
weakest performers were sales tax and subventions. The following chart
demonstrates this comparison:

Sales Tax. The City collects sales tax from two sources: normal BradleyBurns sales taxes - which are shared between City, county, and the state and a
cent sales and use tax, commonly referred to as Measure I and devoted
entirely to the City. Both tax sources are general taxes and can be used for any
regular, general governmental purpose.
Overall, sales taxes receipts (Bradley-Burns and Measure I) were down
12.1% from a year ago due in part to weaker sales in the Citys transportation
sector, most notably the price of gas. As anticipated at mid-year, the declining
price of gas had an adverse effect on this revenue source. Additionally, the
wind down of the states triple flip was not implemented as expected and
resulted in lower cash receipts. The wind down will continue into the 2015-16
FY.
Property Tax. Though the housing market continues to recover
modestly, receipts came in lower than anticipated and slightly lower than the
year prior due to retroactive Prop 8 assessment adjustments. Slightly less than
10.5% of property taxes paid by property owners within the City is allocated to
the City. The majority is distributed to local schools and the County of Lake.
Receipts came in lower than anticipated as the county continues to
process Prop 8 (1978) property value adjustments. Economically, the City
experienced a surge in residential property sales during 2011 and 2012, driving
home values upward, but that trend cooled in 2014-15. This revenue source is
down slightly compared to a year ago; however we are optimistic recovered

property values and current homes values will be reflected in 2015-16 tax
receipts. Property values remain stable at the very least.
Property Tax in Lieu of VLF (Vehicle License Fee). These are property tax
shares allocated to cities and counties beginning in FY 04-05 as compensation
for the states take of Vehicle License Fees (VLF). This revenue source typically
follows regular property tax collections and is almost identical to last year,
reflecting nominal changes to the property tax roll.
Property Tax in Lieu of Sales Tax (Triple Flip). This is a mechanism used
to repay the state fiscal recovery bonds pursuant to Prop 57 of 2004. Under the
Triple Flip, the local sales and use tax rate is reduced from 1.00% to 0.75% with
the 0.25% diverted to repay state fiscal recovery bonds. Cities and counties are
reimbursed for the lost revenue from a shift of property tax revenue. The 8.3%
increase is the result of final true-up processes by the state and County AuditorController.
Grants and subventions. The City receives several grants and
subventions to fund various activities, including public safety and
transportation. These sources include COPS, RSTP, and mandated cost
reimbursements for open meeting compliance. The amount to date is lower
than last year due to a lower RSTP draw from the lump sum 3-year
disbursement in 2013-14.
Franchise Fees. This includes sales-based revenues from franchise fees
paid by PG&E, MediaCom (Cable), and Lakeport Disposal. It is slightly higher this
year than last due to timing differences in payments received and increases in
trash collection revenue.
Rents and Leases. This is revenue collected from leasing properties to
private parties and other funds/agencies, i.e. water, and sewer enterprise. This
revenue source is lower than last year due to lower charges to the water and
sewer enterprise for use of general governmental resources.
Business License Tax. Businesses that operate within City limits are
required to obtain a business license. The proceeds from the tax collected are
available for unrestricted use in the general fund. Receipts are up significantly
from a year ago due in part to increased business filings and the timing of
payments received.
Permits. Fees collected from the issuance of building and planning
permits are essentially flat from last year but exceeded budget estimates due to
increased building and planning activity
The City anticipates nominal revenue growth for the next five years,
short of securing new sources of revenue. The City is pursuing annexation of the
South Main Street area, which is estimated to be 90% built out and may

generate sales tax revenue sufficient to ensure an adequate level of service


provision to that area and the rest of the City.
General Fund:
The Citys general fund is its primary source of discretionary resources
for the provision of service deemed necessary and desirable by the citizens of
Lakeport and the City Council.
The general fund ended the year well with a total fund balance of $2.94
million, of which $2.55 million was available for spending.
The City Manager recommended using $580,126 of the general fund
reserve to engage in one-time uses in the 2014-15 budget, including capital
projects and prior year encumbrances, which was later augmented to $672,355
to accommodate additional one-time expenditures. $274,451 was not used,
however, and was subsequently appropriated in the 2015-16 budget.

Business-type Activities:

fees and charges, these funds should collect revenues sufficient enough to

finance costs associated with administration, operations, capital improvements


(CIP), and debt service.
Water and sewer activities are accounted for like a business in the
private sector using the full accrual basis. This is starkly different than
governmental fund accounting, which uses the modified accrual basis and is
concerned only with current spendable resources, what we call fund balance.
Drawing comparisons of information between the two methods can be
challenging.
Here we present the activities of the water and sewer enterprise funds
in terms of working capital. Working capital is defined as the difference
between current assets and current liabilities, which is closely approximate to
the definition of fund balance in governmental funds. In other words, its the
resources available to meet ongoing operating, debt service, and capital
activities in the near term. Non-cash expenses - typically part of full accrual
accounting - are excluded from this presentation.
Water Enterprise Operations. Rate adjustments went into effect January
1, 2013. Monthly operations and maintenance (O&M) revenue from rates and
other sources (excluding expansion activities) reflects this, and the increase
from a year ago is lower than the most recent rate analysis estimates due to
conservation requirements imposed on customers.
Expenditures due to normal operation overall are down from the year
prior, due to unfilled vacancies in personnel. Primary increases in operations
were related to drought-related needs. Debt service was up due to additional
draws from interim financing for USDA projects as were capital expenditures not
related to USDA projects.

Major Initiatives
The City is three years into its largest capital improvement project in
recent memory. Over $9 million in loan and grant funding from the USDA
Rural Development are being expended to make significant improvements to
the water and sewer infrastructure, addressing its most critical needs. The
project in total is expected to be completed in 2016. The rate structures for
water and sewer, adjusted by the City Council in 2012 will meet the debt service
needs for this financing as well as leave capacity for further financing of capital
projects for water and sewer.
Remaining unspent bond proceeds in the amount of $2 million from the
Citys former redevelopment agency are schedule for use in mid-2016 for the
rehabilitation of roads, infrastructure, and public right-of-way of Downtown
Main Street. These monies will help to stimulate the local economy by making

central Main Street more attractive to local shoppers through enhancing the
aesthetic appeal and vibrancy of the Citys business and retail center. Improved
pedestrian and bicycle amenities are a key aspect of the capital plan, which will
draw greater foot traffic to downtown. This all will complement the
summertime activities City residents enjoy and foster an even stronger sense of
community well-being and civic pride.
Measure I
Measure I, passed by a simple majority (50% plus 1) of Lakeport voters
in November of 2004, is a general (unrestricted) transaction and use tax. A
general, unrestricted tax is one that can be used to fund any program, function,
service, or project at the discretion of the City Council. It is not a special,
restricted tax, which would require approval of two-thirds of the voting public.
Measure J, passed in conjunction with Measure I, was a distinctly separate,
advisory measure indicating the voting public's preference for the use of
Measure I proceeds.
Every year, the City Council appropriates resources in the amount of
revenue expected from Measure I for projects, programs, and activities that are

Relevant Financial Policies


City Management has adopted a series of financial policies meant to
guide its use and reporting of revenues. Some of the more germane policies as
related to this report include the following:

City of Lakeport, California


Introductory Section

All current operating expenditures will be paid for with current


revenues, unless the use of reserves is approved by the City Council.
Revenues will be conservatively estimated.
Intergovernmental assistance in the form of grants and loans will be
used to finance only:
o Those capital improvements which can be maintained and
operated over time; or
o Operating programs that can either be sustained over time or
have a limited horizon.
xiii

ATTACHMENT 2

A minimum fund balance reserve in the General Fund will be


maintained at all times. The minimal, optimal level required for this
reserve will be 25% of the General Fund operating budget. The reserve
will be drawn down as a funding source of last resort and used only
after other reserve accounts have been accessed.
The unappropriated fund balance in the General Fund will be
maintained at a level sufficient to provide adequate working capital and
to accommodate required adjustments to other reserve accounts,
including the reserves for advances to other funds, deposits and prepaid
items.
In general, one-time revenues will be used only to support capital or
other non-recurring expenditures. One-time revenues may be used for
operating programs only after an examination determines if they are
subsidizing an imbalance between operating revenues and
expenditures; and then only if a long-term forecast shows that the
operating deficit will not continue.
The City invests all idle cash as determined by analysis of anticipated
cash flow needs. Specific emphasis will be placed on future cash
requirements when selecting maturity dates to avoid forced liquidations
and the potential corresponding loss of investment earnings.
The General Fund currently does not have any general obligation bonds
and does not anticipate issuing such debt.
When the City finances capital projects by issuing bonds or acquiring
loans, it will pay back those obligations within a period that is consistent
with the useful life of the project.
The City requires an annual audit of the books of account, financial
records, inventories and reports of all City officers and employees
involved in the handling of financial matters by a qualified independent
auditor.

Information concerning significant accounting policies affecting the finances


of the City is summarized in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A) (REQUIRED


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION)
The following discussion provides readers of the City of Lakeports financial statements a narrative
overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. We
encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with the Independent
Auditors Report, the basic financial statements, and the accompanying notes.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

City assets exceeded its liabilities by $18.35 million (net position) as of June 30, 2015. The Citys
adoption of GASB 68 reduced the unrestricted net position to negative $6.58 million.

The Citys net position in total increased by $2.74 million during the fiscal year 2014-15,
compared to a decrease of $2.3 million in fiscal year 2013-14. The majority of the overall change
resulted from the recognition of capital assets held by the City.

The Citys adoption of GASB 68 resulted in a restatement of net position, which decreased
beginning net position in FY 2014-15 by $7.68 million.

The Citys general fund saw decreased revenues from tax sources in the amount of $352,005.
Overall general fund revenues were down $227,484 from the year prior. Prudent spending by
City department contributed to cost savings, however, considerably diminishing the impact of
reduced revenues to the general fund balance.

Fund balances for governmental funds (i.e., the general fund, its reserve, and special revenue
funds) were reported to be $6.3 million, as of year-end close, June 30, 2015.

Of the $6.3 million in total governmental fund balance, $1.74 million is characterized as
unrestricted (committed, assigned, or unassigned) and generally is available at the Citys
discretion.

Statistical section, which includes financial, demographic, and economic information on the City
and surrounding community, such as assessed and actual value of taxable property, direct and
overlapping tax rates, principal property tax payers, and principal sales tax remitters, and direct
and overlapping debt.

This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the financial section. The
statements of this section are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements,
2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains
supplementary information in addition to that found in the basic statements.
The City of Lakeport is presented as the primary government and reporting entity. The (former) City of
Lakeport Redevelopment Agency and the City of Lakeport Municipal Sewer District (CLMSD) are legally
separate entities, but are for reporting purposes considered component units of the City. All three
entities (the City and the component units) are reported herein on a blended basis, as opposed to a
discrete presentation.

The Government-Wide Financial Statements


The government-wide financial statements provide an overview of the Citys activities and are comprised
of the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. The Statement of Net Position provides
information about the financial position of the City as a whole, including all of its capital assets and longterm liabilities on the full-accrual basis, similar to that used by private sector entities. The Statement of
Activities provides information about all of the Citys revenues and all of its expenses, also on the fullaccrual basis, with the emphasis on measuring net revenues or expenses of each the Citys major
functions, which have been categorized as follows:

General government (e.g., administration, finance and accounting, human resources, legal, city
clerk, etc.)
Community development (planning, building, storm water management)
Roads and infrastructure (road maintenance, city engineer and public works,)
Sanitation (administration of the franchise waste hauler, Lakeport Disposal)
Housing and support programs (emergency housing assistance, CDBG and HOME grants, etc.)
Redevelopment/Economic development
Public safety (i.e. police)
Parks, buildings, and grounds (including recreation i.e., Westshore Pool)
Interest on Long-Term Debt (primarily associated with capital leases and former redevelopment
bonds).

The Statement of Activities explains in detail the change in Net Position for the year. It demonstrates how
the Citys net position changed during the fiscal year 2014-15 as compared to 2013-14. As was stated
earlier, the Citys net position decreased by $10.04 million, which includes costs associated with

depreciation and other non-budgeted items that may not have an effect on cash or current financial
resources but do affect net position. The statement presents expenses first categorized by function or
activity. This is done so that a direct connection can be made to the cost of providing that service or
function for the entire year. It then presents how that activity was financed using funds other than those
that can be used for any purpose (i.e. taxes, fines, investment earning, etc.). This is an attempt to
demonstrate how self-sufficient that activity was during the year. The remainder is the net expense
covered by general revenues.
All of the Citys activities are grouped into either governmental activities or business-type activities, as
explained below. The amounts in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities are
separated into governmental activities and business-type activities in order to provide a clear summary of
the two.
Government-wide financial statements, prepared on the accrual basis, measure the flow of all economic
resources of the City. There are two basic statements presented here: the Statement of Net Position and
the Statement of Activities.
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities present information about the following:

Governmental activitiesall of the Citys basic services are considered to be governmental


activities. These services are supported by general city revenues, such as taxes, and by specific
program revenues such as user fees and charges.
The Citys governmental activities also include the housing activities of the (former) Lakeport
Redevelopment Agency, a separate legal entity for which the City is financially responsible. As of
February 1, 2012, the Lakeport Redevelopment Agency was dissolved and a successor agency was
established to handle the remaining affairs and obligations of the former agency. The City of
Lakeport elected to be that successor agency. Upon dissolution, the assets and liabilities of the
former agency were transferred to a private-purpose trust fund, which is not reported on the
government-wide statements, but is presented in the fund-based statements using the full
accrual basis of accounting.

Business-type activitiesThe Citys enterprise activities of water and wastewater are reported in
this area. Unlike governmental activities, these services are supported by charges paid by users
based on the amount of the service they use.

Fund Financial Statements


The fund financial statements report the Citys operations in more detail than the entity-wide statements
and focus primarily on the short-term activities of the Citys general fund and other major funds. The fund

City of Lakeport, California


Financial Section: MD&A

Page | 5

ATTACHMENT 2

financial statements measure only current revenues and expenditures and fund balances; they exclude
capital assets, long-term debt and other long-term amounts.
Because the focus of fund statements is narrower than that of the government-wide, it is useful to
compare the information presented for the governmental funds with similar information presented for
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better
understand the long-term impacts of the Citys near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental
funds Balance Sheet and the governmental funds Statements of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in
Fund Balance provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and
governmental activities.
Major funds account for the major financial activities of the City and are presented individually, while the
activities of nonmajor funds are presented in summary, with subordinate schedules presenting the detail
for each. Major funds are explained below.
The fund financial statements provide detailed information about each of the Citys most significant
funds, termed major funds. The concept of major funds, and the determination of which are major, was
established by GASB Statement 34 and replaces the concept of combining like funds and presenting them
in total. Instead, each major fund is presented individually, with all nonmajor funds summarized and
presented only in a single column. Subordinate schedules (Supplementary Information, page 88) present
the detail of these nonmajor funds. Major funds present the major activities of the City for the year, and
may change from year to year as a result of changes in the pattern of Citys activities.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the Citys major funds were as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS:
General fund
General Capital
HOME Program Income
2012 HOME Grant
PROPRIETARY FUNDS:
Water enterprise fund
Wastewater enterprise fund
Both of the Citys enterprise funds (water and sewer) are reported as proprietary funds. Enterprise fund
financial statements are prepared on the full-accrual basis, and include all of their assets and liabilities,
current and long-term.

The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for all governmental and proprietary funds. Budgetary
comparison statements for the general fund and all major governmental funds are presented and
included in the basic financial statements, as required by GASB 34. Proprietary budget comparison
statements are not required or presented.

Fiduciary Statements
The Citys fiduciary activities are reported in the separate Statement of Fiduciary Net Position. These
activities are excluded from the Citys other financial statements because the City cannot use these assets
to finance its own operations. The fiduciary statement provides financial information about the activities
of special deposits, such as police asset forfeitures and holdings; retiree health (OPEB) administration,
successor agency activities for the former redevelopment agency, and for certain other entities, for which
the City acts solely as an agent. They provide information about the cash balances and activities of these
funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements


The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in
the Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements. The notes to the basic financial statements can be
found on pages 48-98 of this report.

Other Supplementary Information


In addition to the basic financial statements and the accompanying notes, this report also presents
combined statements, which illustrate the condition and activities of all nonmajor funds. The combining
statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds are presented
immediately following the notes to the financial statements. Combining and individual fund statements
can be found beginning on page 103 of this report.

The Citys net position as of June 30, 2015, was over $18.35 million, an increase of $2.74 million. The
overall change in net position is attributed to the Citys adoption of GASB 68 requiring a restatement of
net position for the year ending June 30, 2014 as well as the capitalization of assets, including water and
sewer projects funded by USDA and the procurement of real property for a new police department
headquarters.

Capital assets (net of related debt) of $16.93 million include land, buildings and related improvements,
utility plants (water and sewer), machinery, equipment, vehicles, and infrastructure (roads and public
rights-of-way, water and sewer lines, etc.). Several City assets, previously not accounted for or reported,
were added this year, including the facility owned by the City but leased to the Lakeport Fire Protection
Direct for use as its main fire house. That addition alone totaled $750,000.

This does not include elements of infrastructure that comprise of a network, such as water, sewer, and
storm water pipes in the ground or public right-of-way elements, such as streets and sidewalks. These
elements will be inventoried, capitalized and reported in fiscal year 2014-15. The City uses these assets
to provide services to its citizens; they are not available for future spending. Although the Citys
investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed
to repay debt associated with these assets must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets
themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
Restricted net position of $8.0 million primarily comprise of cash and cash-equivalents for use as
prescribed by an outside entity, such as a grantor, bond holder, covenant, or other restricting entity or
instrument, or are in the form of long-term notes receivable and are unavailable for spending.
Unrestricted net position of negative $6.58 million include cash and cash equivalents and may be used to
meet the Citys ongoing obligations to citizens, creditors, and City-imposed designations (e.g. reserves,
pending litigations, contingencies, capital projects, special grant and revenue programs and projects,
etc.).

ACTIVITIES
Governmental and business-type activity expenses of the City for the year totaled $9.65 million.
Governmental activities totaled $5.3 million or 44.6% of total expenses. Business-type activities incurred
$4.34 million of expenses during the fiscal year. Public safety costs represented 32.3% of total
governmental activities expenses (excluding the extraordinary loss of unspent bond proceeds and land
held for resale), followed by roads and infrastructure, and general government.

Governmental revenues in total were lower in 2014 than 2013 primarily due to reduced grant-driven
housing activity. Most other revenues, including those derived from taxes were higher due to nominal
increases in sales tax and property taxes.

Business-type Activities
In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, business-type activities increased the Citys net position by
$310,342. Increased revenues from rates helped to better the net position of both enterprises.
Water revenues from fees and charges were up from the previous fiscal year by 8.0% resulting from a
rate increase in 2013 that is being phased in over five years. Its income from operations were up
$250,330 due to the increase in rate revenue as well as decreased costs related to personnel. Expenses
decreased due to personnel cost savings from unfilled, vacant positions. Net income for the water
enterprise was up $22,917.
Sewer revenues from fees and charges also were up by over 42.3% due to a similar rate increase. Sewer
enterprise expenses rose due to rising costs of pension and healthcare premium costs; however, its
overall operating income was up $239,665 due to strong revenue from rates. The sewer enterprise
realized a net increase of $287,425.
Total revenue for both enterprise includes fees collected for expansion activities, non-operating activities
(such as interest earnings and expenses), leases, or property tax assessments.

water main extension, and the completion of construction in progress.

Long-Term Liabilities
The Citys outstanding long-term liabilities, including bonds, loans payable, and compensated absences
totaled $14.16 million as of June 30, 2015. The increase from the year prior was due to additional draws
taken from the Bank of Nevada as interim financing for capital improvements to the water enterprise
related to the USDA water project.

FUND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS


The City employs fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements. As was mentioned earlier, fund financial statements present information based on current
financial resources and expenditures. Essentially they are snapshots of the condition of major funds in
the near-term; whereas, the government-wide statements present the entire picture of the reporting
entity. The focus of the Citys governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows,
outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the Citys
financing requirements. For comparison purposes, fund statements correlate well to the Citys adopted
budget.

GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
As of June 30, 2015, the Citys governmental fund balance was $7.22 million, of which $1.82 was
unrestricted and available for use. GASB 54 established five new criteria for categorizing that balance
based on its restricted and unrestricted use. The five categories are the following:

Nonspendable fund balance


Restricted fund balance
Committed fund balance
Assigned fund balance
Unassigned fund balance.

A more detailed discussion of these new fund balance categories is presented in Note 8.

General Fund Financial Condition


The Citys general fund is its primary source of discretionary resources for the provision of service
deemed necessary and desirable by the citizens of Lakeport and the City Council. It realized a net
decrease of $397,904 (8.2% of expenditures) as it used spendable fund balance accumulated from prior
years surplus to fund one-time capital and other activities.
Per City Council policy, net cash assets and near-term receivables held by the general fund at year end are
considered reserves and classified as committed and assigned fund balance. Though the general fund
balance was $2.92 million - this includes resources not available for spending, such as short and long-term
interfund loans receivable - cash assets set aside future use and reserves totaled $2.54 million. This
constitutes approximately 51% of total expenditures in the general fund for the fiscal year.

Other governmental funds reported a net decrease of $535,078. These funds include special revenues
and capital project funds. Grant proceeds for operations and capital programs/projects typically are
reported here.

Governmental funds reported $374,098 in nonspendable fund balance in fiscal year 2014-15. This is
comprised mostly of long-term housing and business loans/notes receivable that are unavailable to meet
current obligations.
The balance of $4.18 million in restricted fund balance - those financial resources can be spent only on
specific activities as defined by outside entities (e.g. a grantor, state agency, statute, etc.) is found
primarily on special revenue funds; however $14,091 is held in the general fund as asset forfeiture for law
enforcement purposes and park walking trail grant activities.
Committed fund balance consists of revenue stabilization amounts in the general fund, established by
policy and resolution of the City Council.
Assigned fund balance consists of the general fund reserve and several select capital projects earmarked
by the City Council.
The remaining amount of negative $1.21 million of unassigned fund balance consists of negative fund
equity in several special revenue funds as well as the general capital fund related to the purchase of real
property for the new police department headquarters.

PROPRIETARY FUNDS
Enterprise Fund - Water
The net position of the water enterprise fund increased by $22,917 in fiscal year 2014-15, primarily due
to decreased personnel costs and increased operating revenues. Operating revenues exceeded operating
expenses by $250,330, while non-operating expenses outpaced revenues (property taxes and interest of

Financial Section: MD&A

water loans and bonds) by $227,413. The water enterprise operating and maintenance (O&M) and
expansion funds are reported as one in these statements.
Ending net position at June 30, 2015 for the water enterprise funds was $521,272 million, of which a
deficit $2.82 million was unrestricted. This deficit is the result of the adoption of GASB 68 as well as the
capitalization of assets using available loan proceeds. June 30, 2014 ending net position was restated to
account for GASB 68, reducing it by $1.58 million.

Enterprise Fund - Sewer


The net position of the sewer enterprise fund increased by $287,425. Operating revenue was higher than
operating expenses, resulting in operating income of $239,665. Non-operating revenues and expenses
had a positive impact to net position by $47,760. The sewer enterprise consists of three funds to account
for O&M, sewer expansion fund activities, and debt service for the CLMSD 91-1 assessment district. Net
positions of those funds are restricted for expansion projects and the repayment of a sewer bond, which
was issued for the construction of the CLMSD sewer facility on Linda Lane.
Ending net position at June 30, 2014 was restated as the City implemented GASB 68 and recognized a
pension liability with CalPERS. This resulted in a decrease of net position of $1.85 million. As of June 30,
2015, ending net position of the sewer enterprise was $7.03 million, of which negative $941,329 was
unrestricted.

BUDGETARY COMPARISON
A comparison of budget to actual for major governmental funds is presented in the fund financial
statements. These statements and the notes are presented as additional information to show that
appropriations are being spent as authorized by the City Council. Budgetary control for the City rests at
the fund level.

General Fund
The original budget estimated $4.48 million in revenues. It was increased to $4.5 when management
reviewed it at mid-year. Revenues in the general fund ultimately were reported $53,787 lower than was
budgeted due to lower tax collections and rents and leases.

The largest change to appropriations during the year was an increase in general governmental. The City
Attorney budget was increased to account for additional litigation costs. The next largest change was to
the Police Department budget to allow for the purchase of additional equipment. The amount passed
through to the franchise trash hauler, Lakeport Disposal, was higher than budget estimates; however,
these amounts are simply collections that are passed through to the company. Deferment or cancellation
of capital projects - including road work - resulted in a significantly positive variance of $169,811. This
was the largest budgetary variance in the general fund. Frugal departmental spending and capitalizing on

costs savings from staff attrition rounded out remaining variances, as total expenditures in the fund were
$596,592 less than appropriated.
The combined effect (before transfers were considered) was a fund balance reduction of $413,939 in the
general fund. After transfers and extraordinary items were considered, that reduction was lessened by
$16,035.
Budgets to actual information was not presented for proprietary funds (water and sewer enterprise), as
this is not a GAAP requirement of GASB. However, such information can be provided upon request.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
Continuing its recovery in fiscal year 2014-15, the local and national economy grew slowly.
Unemployment continued to decline as consumer confidence rose. The Lake County region continued to
lag behind the rest of the state but made progress. Though the local job market remains challenging, we
see local businesses continuing to manage their recovery from 2008 and grow. The success of these
businesses is vital to the Citys fiscal health.
Additionally, foreclosure inventory continues its decline through the housing market, and home values
are rising. We expect to see revenues from property-related taxes increase as a result.
The states impact on, and relationship with, local government will continue to impose barriers to
economic growth within the City and in unincorporated Lake County as a result of realignment and more
draconian regulatory requirements on local government and small business.
Maintaining and growing revenue streams to the City remains a high priority for staff. Existing sources
predominately sales and property taxes are stable, and our estimates for the future will continue to be
conservative. Expenses related to personnel (primarily in health premium and pension costs) are
increasing at a substantial, though manageable, pace. We continue to look to find cost saving measures
to help offset these expenses. The challenge remains providing the highest level and quality of service
that the community needs, expects and deserves.

Government-Wide Financial Statements


The Statement of Net Position reports the difference between the Citys total assets and the Citys total
liabilities, including all the Citys capital assets and all its long-term debt. The Statement of Net Position
summarizes the financial position of all City Governmental Activities in a single column, and the financial
position of all the Citys Business-Type Activities in a single column; these are followed by a total column
which presents the financial position of the entire City.
The Citys Governmental Activities include the activities of its General Fund, along with all its Special
Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds. The Citys Business-Type Activities include all its
Enterprise Fund activities.
The Statement of Activities reports increases and decreases in the Citys net position. It presents the
Citys expenses first, listed by program, and follows these with the expenses of its business-type activities.
Program revenuesthat is, revenues which are generated directly by these programsare then
deducted from program expenses to arrive at the net expense of each governmental and business-type
program. The Citys general revenues are then listed in the Governmental Activities or Business-type
Activities column, as appropriate, and the Change in Net Position is computed and reconciled with the
Statement of Net Position.
Both these Statements include the financial activities of the City, the Lakeport Redevelopment Agency
and the City of Lakeport Municipal Sewer District, which are legally separate but are component units of
the City because they are controlled by the City, which is financially accountable for their activities.

PROPRIETARY FUNDS
Proprietary funds account for City operations financed and operated in a manner similar to a private
business enterprise. The intent of the City is that the cost of providing goods and services be financed
primarily through user charges.
The City maintains two enterprise funds: water and sewer.
WATER ENTERPRISE FUND
Chapter 13.04 of the Lakeport Municipal Code provides the authority for City to operate water system.
Revenues (fees and charges) are collected to pay for service (water) received.
SEWER ENTERPRISE FUND
Chapter 13.20 of the Lakeport Municipal Code provides the authority for the City to operate sewer
system. Revenues (fees and charges) are collected to pay for availability of collection, transportation,
treatment, and disposal system. In addition, grazing lease payments, LACOSAN payments for flows, tax
revenues, FEMA storm damage reimbursement, OES storm damage reimbursement, and insurance
rebates have been credited to this fund.
INTERNAL SERVICE FUND
Established to account for the risk management activities of the City, primarily premium payments for
liability insurance, which is charged to the general, water enterprise, and sewer enterprise funds.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The accounting policies of the City conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America as applied to government agencies. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial
reporting principles. The more significant accounting policies of the City are described below:
A. Defining the reporting entity
The City of Lakeport was incorporated in 1888 under the laws of the State of California. Lakeport operates
under a Council-Manager form of government. The City Manager serves as the chief executive for day-today operations and long-term planning, including executing the policies and directives of the City Council.
Department heads report directly to the City Manager and serve at his or her pleasure.
The City provides a range of municipal services to its citizens including public safety, public works,
planning and building regulation, recreation and parks, and water and sewer services.
These financial statements present the financial status of the City and its components units. The
component units discussed in the following paragraph are included in the Citys financial statements
because the City is financially accountable for their operations.
The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Lakeport (the Agency) was established by the City as a separate
legal entity in accordance with state law. The purpose of the Agency is to encourage new investment and
reinvestment within legally designated redevelopment areas in partnership with property owners. The
Agency was dissolved on February 1, 2013 by the State Legislature and California Governor, Jerry Brown.
The Municipal Sewer District No. 1 (CLMSD) was established as a separate legal entity to obtain funding to
construct a new sewage treatment plant and pumping stations in 1965. In later years and assessment
district was formed for the purpose of financing needed improvements and expansion of the wastewater
systems.
Although the component units are legally separate from the City, they are reported on a blended basis as
part of the primary government because their boards consist of members of the City Council. The
component units financial statements may be obtained from the City.
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statement
The government-wide financial statements report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the
primary government. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these
statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental
revenues are reported separately from business-type activates, which rely to a significant extent on fees
and charges for support.

ATTACHMENT 2

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or
segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a
specific function or segment. Program revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants who
purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or
segment and (2) grant and contributors that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital
requirements of a particular function. Taxes, and other items not properly included among program
revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds. The operations of each fund are accounted
for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenue,
and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allocated to, and accounted
for, in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which
spending activities are controlled.
In the fund financial statement in the report, the various funds are grouped into generic funds within
three broad fund types. They are as follows:
Governmental Funds
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial
resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other
than special assessments, expendable trust of major capital projects) that are legally restricted to
expenditures for specific purposes.
Capital Project Funds are used to account for revenue and expenditures restricted to the
acquisition or major capital facilities (other than those financed by proprietary or trust funds).
Debt Service Funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment
to, governmental long-term debt, both principal and interest.
Proprietary Funds
Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner
similar to private business enterprise the intent of the governing body is that the cost (expenses,
including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis,
be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. The City accounts for the operation of
its water and sewer utility fund on this basis.
Internal Service funds are used to account for operations similar to enterprise funds. The
difference between the two is that internal service funds provide goods and services to
City of Lakeport, California

departments and agencies under the primary government. Currently the City does not use an
internal service fund.
Fiduciary Funds
Agency Funds are used to account for assets administered by the City in a trustee capacity or as
an agent for other governments and other funds. Agency funds are custodial in nature (assets
equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of operations.
Trust Funds are used to account for assets held by the government in a trustee capacity.
An emphasis is placed on major funds within the governmental and proprietary categories. A fund is
considered major if it is the primary operating fund of the City or meets the following criteria:
1. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental fund
are at least 10 percent of the corresponding total for all funds of that category or type; and,
2. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental fund
are at least 5 percent of the corresponding total for all governmental funds combined.
The City reports the following major funds:
General Fund
Capital Projects Fund
Water
Sewer
C. Basis of Accounting and Measurement focus
Basis of accounting refers to when revenue and expenditures (or expenses) are recognized in the
accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of
measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied.
Measurement focus is the determination of (1) which assets and which liabilities are included on a
government's balance sheet and where they are reported, and (2) whether an operating statement
presents information on the flow of financial resources (revenues and expenditures) or information on
the flow of economic resources (revenues and expenses).
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statement. Revenue is
recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when liabilities are incurred, regardless of the timing
of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenue in the year for which they are levied.
Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements have been met.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


In the fund financial statements, all government funds and agency funds are accounted for using the
modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenue is recognized when they become both measurable and
available to finance the expenditures of the current period (susceptible to accrual). Major revenue
sources susceptible to accrual include substantially all property taxes, taxpayer-assessed taxes (such as
sales and use, utility users, business license, transient occupancy, franchise fees and gas taxes), interest,
special assessments levied, state and federal grants and charges for current services. Revenue from
licenses, permits, fines and forfeits is recorded as received. Expenditures are recorded when the related
fund liability is incurred.
Fiduciary fund revenue and expenditures (as appropriate) are recognized on the basis consistent with the
funds accounting measurement objective.
All governmental funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. This
means that only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets. Their
reported fund balance (net current assets) is considered a measure of available spendable resources.
Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenue and other financing sources) and
decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Accordingly, they present a
summary of sources and uses of available spendable resources during a period.
The government-wide financial statements, as well as the proprietary funds financial statements, are
accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. This means that all assets and all
liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activity are included on their balance
sheets. Proprietary fund operating statements present increases (revenues) in net total assets.

D. Use of Estimates
Financial statement preparation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenditures/expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Citys cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and shortterm investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.
The City pools cash and investments from all funds for the purpose of increasing income through
investment activities. Highly liquid money market investments with maturities of one year or less at time
of purchase are stated at amortized cost. All other investments are stated at fair value in accordance
with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External
Investment Pools. Market value is used as fair value for those securities for which market quotations are
readily available.
F. Receivable and Payables
Balances Representing lending/borrowing transactions between funds outstanding at the end of the fiscal
year are reported as either due to/due from other funds (amounts due within one year), advances
to/from other funds (non-current portions of interfund lending/borrowing transactions), or loans
to/from other funds (long-term lending/borrowing transactions as evidenced by loan agreements).
Advances and loans to other funds are offset by a fund balance reserve in applicable governmental funds
to indicate they are not available for appropriation, and are not expendable available financial resources.
Property, sales, use, and utility user taxes related to the current fiscal year are accrued as revenue and
accounts receivable and considered available if received within 60 days of year end. Federal and state
grants are considered receivable and accrued as revenue when reimbursable costs are incurred under the
accrual basis of accounting in the government-wide statement of net position. The amount recognized as
revenue under the modified accrual basis of accounting is limited to the amount that is deemed
measureable and available. The City considers these taxes available if they are received during the period
when settlement of prior fiscal year accounts payable and payroll charges normally occur.
Grants, entitlements or shared revenue is recorded as receivables and revenue in the general, special
revenue and capital project funds when they are received or susceptible to accrual. Notes receivables
represent individual loans, secured by property liens in favor of the City and the Redevelopment Agency,
made through various sources, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and federal
HOME housing programs. When repaid, theses amounts are designated for purposes allowed under the
aforementioned reuse guidelines.
G. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Management has elected to record bad debts using the allowance method.

H. Prepaid Expenses
The prepaid expenses consist of expendables supplies held for consumption and are recorded as
expenses when consumed. Materials and supplies used by governmental funds are recorded as
expenditures at the time they are purchases or obtained.

I. Capital Assets
Government-Wide Statements
Public domain (infrastructure) capital assets include roads, bridges, curbs and gutters, streets, sidewalks,
drainage systems, and lighting systems.
The accounting treatment of property, plant and equipment (capital assets) depends on whether the
assets are used in governmental fund operations or proprietary fund operations and whether they are
reported in the government-wide or fund financial statements.
Prior to July 1, 2003, governmental funds infrastructure assets were not capitalized, since then these
assets have been valued at estimated historical cost.
Depreciation of all exhaustible capital assets is recorded as an allocated expense in the Statement of
Activities, with accumulated depreciation reflected in the Statement of Net Position. Depreciation is
provided over the assets estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation. The City
capitalizes assets with an original cost greater than $5,000 and with a useful lifespan longer than three
years. No depreciation is recorded in the year of acquisition or in the year of disposition.
The range of estimated useful lives by type of asset is as follows:
Buildings and improvements
Roadway improvements
Sidewalks, curbs and gutters
Storm drain pipes/structures
Traffic signal devices
Landscaping
Signage
Leasehold improvements
Machinery and equipment
Vehicles

Fund Financial Statements
In the fund financial statements, capital assets used in governmental fund operations are accounted for
as capital outlay expenditures of the governmental fund upon acquisition. Capital assets used in
proprietary fund operations are accounted for the same way as in the government-wide statements.
J. Compensated Absences
Compensated absences represent the vested portion of accumulate vacation and sick leave. In
governmental funds, the cost of vacation and sick leave benefits is recognized when payments are made
to employees. Upon separation, 100% of accrued vacation leave (up to a maximum of 400 hours) and
accrued comp time is paid and, depending on longevity, sick leave is paid out up to 50% of the accrued
amount. In proprietary funds, a long-term liability for such benefits has been recorded.
K. Deferred Inflow of Resources
Deferred inflow of resources in governmental funds primarily represents business license taxes collected
but unavailable for spending until the next fiscal year.
L. Long-term Liabilities
In both the governmental-wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements, long-term
debt and other long-term liabilities are reported as liabilities in the applicable statement of net position.
Bond premiums, issuance costs and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bond.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognized bond premiums and discounts, as
well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as
other financing sources.
M. Equity Classification
Government-Wide Statements
Equity is classified as net position and is displayed in three components:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt consists of capital assets, including restricted capital
assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds,
mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or
improvement of those assets.
Restricted net position consists of net position with constraints placed on the use by external groups
such as creditors, grantors, contributors, or by laws or regulations of other governments or law through
constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Unrestricted net position all other net position that do not meet the definition of restricted or
invested in capital assets, net of related debt.
Fund Financial Statements
Governmental fund equity is classified as fund balance. Fund balance is classified as nonspendable,
restricted, committed, assigned or unassigned. Proprietary fund equity is classified the same as in the
government-wide statements. The classifications for governmental funds are defined as follows for the
City:
Nonspendable Fund Balance
Assets that will never convert to cash (prepaid items, inventory).
Assets that will not convert to cash soon enough to affect the current period (long-term notes or
loans receivable).
Resources that must be maintained intact pursuant to legal or contractual requirements (the
principal of an endowment).
Restricted Fund Balance
Resources that are subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions imposed by parties
altogether outside the government (Creditors, Grantors, Contributors and Other Governments).
Resources that are subject to limitations imposed by law through constitutional provisions or
enabling legislation (Gas Tax).
Committed Fund Balance
Self-imposed limitations set in place prior to the end of the period. (Encumbrances, economic
contingencies and uncertainties).
Limitation at the highest level of decision-making (Council) that requires formal action at the
same level to remove, done typically through resolution during the budget process.
Assigned Fund Balance
Amounts in excess of nonspendable, restricted, and committed fund balance in funds other than
the general fund automatically are reported as assigned fund balance and are done so by the City
Manager through the budget process.
Unassigned Fund Balance
Residual net resources
Total fund balance in the general fund in excess of nonspendable, restricted, committed and
assigned fund balance (surplus).
Excess of nonspendable, restricted, and committed fund balance over total fund balance (deficit).

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


The general fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance. In other
governmental funds it is not appropriate to report a positive unassigned fund balance amount.
However, in governmental funds other than the general fund, if expenditures incurred for specific
purposes exceed the amounts that are restricted, committee, or assigned to those purposes, it
may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance in that fund. [GASB S54: 17 and
19]
N. Property Taxes
Property taxes in the State of California are administered for all local agencies at the county level and
consist of secured, unsecured and utility tax rolls. The following is a summary of major policies and
practices relating to property taxes:
Property Valuations are established by the Lake County Assessor for the secured and unsecured
property tax rolls; the utility property tax roll is valued by the State Board of Equalization. Under
the provision of Article XIII-A of the State Constitution (Proposition 13, adopted by the voters on
June 6, 1978), properties are assessed at 100% of full value. From this base assessment,
subsequent annual increases in valuation are limited to a maximum of two percent. However, an
increase to full value is allowed for property improvements or upon change in ownership.
Personal property is excluded from these limitations and is subject to annual reappraisal.
Tax Levies are limited to one percent of full assessed value which results in a tax rate of one
percent assessed valuation under the provisions of Proposition 13. Tax rates for voter-approved
indebtedness are excluded from this limitation.
Tax Levy Dates are attached annually on January 1, preceding the fiscal year for which the taxes
are levied. The fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30 of the following year. Taxes are levied on
both real and unsecured personal property as it exists at that time. Liens against real estate, as
well as the tax on personal property are not relieved by subsequent renewal or change in
ownership.
Tax Collections are the responsibility of the Lake County Treasurer-Tax Collector. Taxes and
assessments on secured and utility rolls, which constitute a lien against the property, may be paid
in two installments.
The First is due on November 1 of the fiscal year and is delinquent if not paid by
December 10;
The second is due on March 1 of the fiscal year and is delinquent if not paid by April 10.

Notes to the Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


Unsecured personal property taxes do not constitute a lien against property unless the taxes
become delinquent. Payments must be made in one installment, which is delinquent if not paid
by August 31 of the fiscal year. Significant penalties are imposed by the county for late payments.
The City has elected to receive the Citys portion of the property taxes from the county under the
county Teeter Bill program. Under this program, the City receives 100% of the Citys share of the
levied property taxes in periodic payments with the county assuming the responsibility for the
delinquencies.
Property Tax Administration Fees the state of California FY 90-91 Budget Act authorized counties to
collect an administrative fee for collection and distribution of property taxes.
Tax Levy Apportionments due to the nature of the City-wide maximum levy, it is not possible to
identify general-purpose tax rates for specific entities. Under State legislation adopted
subsequent to the passage of Proposition 13, apportionments to local agencies are made by the
countys auditor-controller based primarily on the ratio that each agency represented of the total
City-wide levy for the three fiscal years prior to fiscal year 1979.
O. Interfund Transfers
Resources are reallocated between funds by reporting them as interfund transfers. For the purposes of
the Statement of Activities, all interfund transfers between individual governmental funds have been
eliminated.
P. Reclassifications
Certain amounts have been reclassified to provide for comparable results on a year to year basis.
Q. Restatement
Due to the Citys adoption of GASB 68, net position was restated at June 30, 2015. Net pension liability
with CalPERS is now reported by the member agency. The following is a reconciliation of the total net
position as previously reported at July 1, 2014, to the restated net position.

R. Budgetary Information
The City follows these procedures annually in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements:
1. The City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed draft budget for the fiscal year
commencing July 1 of the next fiscal year. The budget includes proposed expenditures and the
means of financing them.
2. If use of fund balance is recommended by the City Manager, resources to be used will be in the
following order:
i.
unassigned fund balance
ii.
assigned
iii.
committed
3. The City Council reviews the proposed budget at special scheduled sessions which are open to
the public. The Council also conducts a public hearing on the proposed budget to obtain
comments from interested persons.
4. Prior to July 1, the budget is to be adopted by resolution of the City Council.
5. From the effective date of the budget, which is adopted and controlled at the fund level, the
amounts stated therein as proposed expenditures become appropriations to the various City
funds and departments. The City Council may amend the budget by minute action during the
fiscal year. The City Manager may authorize transfers from one object or purpose to another
within the same fund, and between departments within the General Fund. All appropriations
lapse at year end unless encumbered and carried forward upon the approval of the City Manager.

Budgets are adopted for all fund types and are reported on a basis consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles. Budgeted amounts presented are as originally adopted and as further amended by
the City Council.
S. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability and deferred outflows/inflows of resources related to
pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Local Government of
Example's California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS) plans (Plans) and additions
to/deductions from the Plans' fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are
reported by CaIPERS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions)
are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at
fair value.

Prop 40 Per Capita

NOTE 2 - STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY


Revenue Limitations Imposed by California Propositions 218 and 26
Proposition 218, approved by the voters in November 1996, regulates the Citys ability to impose,
increase, and extend taxes, assessments, and fees. It was enhanced further by the passage of Proposition
26 in 2010, which revised to the definitions of taxes and fees. Any new, increased, or extended taxes,
assessments, and fees subject to the provisions of Proposition 218 require voter approval before they can
be implemented. Additionally, Proposition 218 provides that these taxes, assessments, and fees be
subject to the voter initiative process and may be rescinded in future years by the voters.

Interest Rate Risk


Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the sensitivity of its fair value
to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that Lakeport manages its exposure to interest rate
risk is by investing in LAIF, whose underlying securities have staggered maturities and are generally due
on demand, which provides cash flow and liquidity needed for operations.
Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of
the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by nationally recognized statistical rating
organization. The Citys investment policy limits credit risk by requiring compliance with the California
Government Code for investment of public funds, as described in detail above.

Custodial Credit Risk


The credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of failure of a depository financial institution, a
government will not be able recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are
in the possession on an outside party. The California government code and the Citys investment policy do
not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits,
other than the following provision for deposits:
The California government code requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state
or local governmental units by pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a
depository regulated under state law (unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market
value of the pledged securities in the collateral pool must be equal at least 110% of the total
amount deposited by the public agencies. California law also allows financial institutions to secure
City deposits by pledging first trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured
public deposits.
At June 30, 2015, the City had $470,824 in financial institutions that were not covered by the FDIC but
were covered by collateralized securities of the financial institutions where the deposits were maintained.
The credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of counterparty (e.g., brokerdealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of investment or collateral
securities that are in the possession of another party. The California government code and the Citys
investment policy do not contain legal or policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial
risk for investments. With respect to investments, custodial credit risk generally applies only to direct
investments in marketable securities. Custodial credit risk does not apply to a local governments indirect
investment in securities through the use of mutual funds or government investment pools (such as LAIF).

Participation in an External Investment Pool
The City is a voluntary participant in the California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), which is
regulated by California Government Code Section under the oversight of the Local Investment Advisory
Board (Board). The Board consists of five members as designated by state statue, and is chaired by the
State Treasurer who is responsible for the day to day administration of LAIF. The balance available for
withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized
cost basis, which is different from the fair value of the Citys position in the LAIF pool. The State Treasurer
determines fair value on its investment portfolio based on market quotations for those securities where
market quotations are readily available. As of June 30, 2015, the Citys investment in LAIF was
$6,704,904. The total amount invested by all public agencies at that date was $21.89 billion. LAIF is part
of the California Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA), which at June 30, 2015 has a balance of
$62.68 billion. Financial Statements of LAIF and PMIA may be obtained from the California Treasurers
web site at www.treasurer.ca.gov.

NOTE 10 - RISK MANAGEMENT


The City is an associate member of the Redwood Empire Municipal Insurance Fund (REMIF), a public
entity pool comprised of fifteen northern California charter and associate member cities. REMIF is
organized under a Joint Powers Agreement pursuant to the California Government Code. The purpose of
REMIF is to arrange and administer programs of insurance for the pooling of self-insured losses and to
purchase excess insurance coverage. The City pays an annual premium to REMIF for its workers
compensation, general liability and property coverage.
The City of Lakeport participates in the following three REMIF programs:
General Liability Insurance
Annual premiums are paid by the member cities and are adjusted retrospectively to cover costs. The City
of Lakeport self-insures for the first $5,000 of each loss and pays 100% of all losses incurred under
$5,000. The City does not share or pay for losses of other cities under $5,000, depending on the entitys
deductible amount. Participating cities then share in the next $5,000 to $500,000 per loss occurrence.
Specific coverage includes comprehensive and general automotive liability, personal injury, contractual
liability, professional liability, and certain other coverage. REMIF is a member of the California Joint
Powers Risk Management Authority, which provides REMIF with an additional $9,500,000 liability
insurance coverage over and above REMIF retention level of $500,000.
Workers Compensation
Periodic deposits are paid by member cities and are adjusted retrospectively to cover costs. The City of
Lakeport is self-insured for the first $5,000 of each loss and pays 100% of all losses incurred under $5,000.
The City does not share or pay for losses of other cities under $5,000.
Losses of $10,000 to $300,000 are prorated among all participating cities. Losses in excess of $300,000
are covered by excess insurance purchased by participating cities, as part of the pool, to State statutory
limits.
Property Insurance
The City participates in REMIFs property insurance program. The annual deposits paid by participating
member cities are based upon deductibility levels and are not subject to retroactive adjustments. The City
of Lakeport has a deductible level of $10,000 and a coverage limit of $300,000,000 declared value.

NOTE 11 - PUBLIC EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLAN


Plan Description
The City contributes to the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS), an agent multipleemployer public employee defined benefit pension plan. PERS provides retirement and disability benefits,
annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. PERS acts as a
common investment and administrative agent for participating public entities within the State of
California. Benefit provisions and all other requirements are established by state statue and city
ordinance. Copies of PERS annual financial report may be obtained from the Executive Office, 400 P
Street, Sacramento, California, 95814.
General Information about the Pension Plans
Plan Descriptions - All qualified permanent and probationary employees are eligible to participate in the
Local Government's separate Safety (police and fire) and Miscellaneous (all other) Employee Pension
Plans, cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit pension plans administered by the California Public
Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS). Benefit provisions under the Plans are established by State
statute and Local Government resolution. CalPERS issues publicly available reports that include a full
description of the pension plans regarding benefit provisions, assumptions and membership information
that can be found on the CalPERS website.
Benefits Provided - CalPERS provides service retirement and disability benefits, annual cost of living
adjustments and death benefits to plan members, who must be public employees and beneficiaries.
Benefits are based on years of credited service, equal to one year of full time employment. Members with
five years of total service are eligible to retire at age 50 with statutorily reduced benefits. All members are
eligible for non-duty disability benefits after 10 years of service. The death benefit is one of the following:
the Basic Death Benefit, the 1957 Survivor Benefit, or the Optional Settlement 2W Death Benefit. The
cost of living adjustments for each plan are applied as specified by the Public Employees' Retirement Law.
The Plans' provisions and benefits in effect at June 30, 2015, are summarized as follows:

Contributions
Section 20814(c) of the California Public Employees' Retirement Law requires that the employer
contribution rates for all public employers be determined on an annual basis by the actuary and shall be
effective on the July 1 following notice of a change in the rate. Funding contributions for both Plans are
determined annually on an actuarial basis as of June 30 by CaIPERS. The actuarially determined rate is the
estimated amount necessary to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with
an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The Local Government is required to
contribute the difference between the actuarially determined rate and the contribution rate of
employees.
For the year ended June 30, 2015, the contributions recognized as part of pension expense for each Plan
were as follows:

The Local Government's net pension liability for each Plan is measured as the proportionate share of the
net pension liability. The net pension liability of each of the Plans is measured as of June 30, 2014, and
the total pension liability for each Plan used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an
actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2013 rolled forward to June 30, 2014 using standard update procedures.
The Local Government's proportion of the net pension liability was based on a projection of the Local
Government's long-term share of contributions to the pension plans relative to the projected
contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined. The Local Governments
proportionate share of the net pension liability for each Plan as of June 30, 2013 and 2014 was as follows:

The underlying mortality assumptions and all other actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2013

2011. Further details of the Experience Study can found on the CalPERS website.

NOTE 11 PUBLIC EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLAN (CONTINUED)


Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.50% for each Plan. To determine
whether the municipal bond rate should be used in the calculation of a discount rate for each plan,
CalPERS stress tested plans that would most likely result in a discount rate that would be different rom
the actuarially assumed discount rate. Based on the testing, none of the tested plans run out of assets.
Therefore, the current 7.50 percent discount rate is adequate and the use of the municipal bond rate
calculation is not necessary. The long term expected discount rate of 7.50 percent will be applied to all
plans in the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF). The stress test results are presented in a detailed
report that can be obtained from the CalPERS website.
According to Paragraph 30 of Statement 68, the long-term discount rate should be determined without
reduction for pension plan administrative expense. The 7.50 percent investment return assumption used
in this accounting valuation is net of administrative expenses. Administrative expenses are assumed to be
15 basis points. An investment return excluding administrative expenses would have been 7.65 percent.
Using this lower discount rate has resulted in a slightly higher Total Pension Liability and Net Pension
Liability. CalPERS checked the materiality threshold for the difference in calculation and did not find it to
be a material difference.
CalPERS is scheduled to review all actuarial assumptions as part of its regular Asset Liability Management
(ALM) review cycle that is scheduled to be completed in February 2018. Any changes to the discount rate
will require Board action and proper stakeholder outreach. For these reasons, CalPERS expects to
continue using a discount rate net of administrative expenses for GASB 67 and 68 calculations through at
least the 2017-18 fiscal year. CalPERS will continue to check the materiality of the difference in calculation
until such time as we have changed our methodology.
The long -term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a buildingblock method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net
of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class.
In determining the long-term expected rate of return, CalPERS took into account both short-term and
long-term market return expectations as well as the expected pension fund cash flows. Using historical
returns of all the funds' asset classes, expected compound returns were calculated over the short-term
(first 10 years) and the long-term (11-60 years) using a building-block approach. Using the expected
nominal returns for both short-term and long-term, the present value of benefits was calculated for each
fund. The expected rate of return was set by calculating the single equivalent expected return that arrived
at the same present value of benefits for cash flows as the one calculated using both short-term and longterm returns. The expected rate of return was then set equivalent to the single equivalent rate calculated
above and rounded down to the nearest one quarter of one percent.

Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation
The Citys annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual
required contribution of the employer (ARC), and an amount actuarially determined in accordance with
the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an
ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities
(or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years. The following table shows the components of
the Citys annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the

Measurement began with the 6/30/11 fiscal year implementation of GASB 45.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of expected benefit payments and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined
regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are
subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are
made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplementary
information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multi-year trend information about
whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial
accrued liabilities for benefits.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as
understood by the employer and the plan participants) and include the types of benefits provided at the
time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and
plan participants to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are
designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial
value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the June 1, 2011 actuarial valuation, the entry age normal cost method was used. The actuarial
assumptions included a 5 percent investment rate of return, which is the expected long-term investment
returns on plan assets, a projected salary increase assumption rate of 3 percent, and an annual
healthcare cost trend rate of 4 percent. The actuarial value of assets is not applicable (no assets as of the
initial valuation date). The UAAL is being amortized as a flat percentage of covered payroll over thirty
years. The remaining amortization period at June 1, 2011 was thirty years.

Grants and Allocations
The City receives funding from a number of federal, state and local grant programs, principally
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). These programs are subject to financial and compliance
review by grantors. Expenditures, if any, which may be disallowed by the granting agencies, cannot be
determined at this time. The City does not expect the undeterminable amounts of disallowed
expenditures, if any, to materially affect the financial statements. Receipt of these federal, state and local
grant revenues is not assured in the future.

NOTE 14 SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FOR ASSETS OF FORMER REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY


On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld Assembly Bill 1X 26 (the Bill) that provides
for the dissolution of all redevelopment agencies in the State of California. This action impacted the
reporting entity of the City of Lakeport that previously had reported a redevelopment agency within the
reporting entity of the City as a blended component unit.
The Bill provides that upon dissolution of a redevelopment agency, either the city or another unit of local
government will agree to serve as the successor agency to hold the assets until they are distributed to
other units of state and local government. On January 10, 2012, the City Council elected to become the
Successor Agency for the former redevelopment agency in accordance with the Bill as part of City
resolution number 2441 (2012).
After enactment of the law, which occurred on June 28, 2011, redevelopment agencies in the State of
California cannot enter into new projects, obligations or commitments. Subject to the control of a newly
established oversight board, remaining assets can only be used to pay enforceable obligations in
existence at the date of dissolution (including the completion of any unfinished projects that were subject
to legally enforceable contractual commitments).
In future fiscal years, successor agencies will only be allocated revenue in the amount that is necessary to
pay the estimated annual installment payments on enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment
agency until all enforceable obligations of the prior redevelopment agency have been paid in full and all
assets have been liquidated.
The Bill directs the State Controller of the State of California to review the propriety of any transfers of
assets between redevelopment agencies and other public bodies that occurred after January 1, 2011. If
the public body that received such transfers is not contractually committed to a third party for the
expenditure or encumbrance of those assets, the State Controller is required to order the available assets
to be transferred to the public body designated as the successor agency by the Bill.

NOTE 14 SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FOR ASSETS OF FORMER REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CONTINUED)
Management believes, in consultation with legal counsel, that the obligations of the former
redevelopment agency due to the City are valid enforceable obligations payable by the successor agency
trust under the requirements of the Bill. The Citys position on this issue is not a position of settled law
and there is considerable legal uncertainty regarding this issue. It is reasonably possible that a legal
determination may be made at a later date by an appropriate judicial authority that would resolve this
issue unfavorably to the City.
In accordance with the timeline set forth in the Bill (as modified by the California Supreme Court on
December 29, 2011) all redevelopment agencies in the State of California were dissolved and ceased to
operate as a legal entity as of February 1, 2013. Prior to that date, the final seven months of the activity
of the redevelopment agency continued to be reported in the governmental funds of the City included in
the fund financial statements as Former Redevelopment Agency Special Revenue Fund and
Low/Moderate Income Housing Fund.

NOTE 14 SUCCESSOR AGENCY TRUST FOR ASSETS OF FORMER REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CONTINUED)
After the date of dissolution, the assets and activities of the dissolved redevelopment agency are
reported in a fiduciary fund (private-purpose trust fund) in the financial statements of the City. The
transfer of the assets and liabilities of the former redevelopment agency as of February 1, 2012
(effectively the same date as January 31, 2012) from governmental funds of the City to fiduciary funds
was reported in the governmental funds as an extraordinary loss (or gain) in the governmental fund
financial statements. The receipt of these assets and liabilities as of January 31, 2012 was reported in the
private-purpose trust fund as an extraordinary gain (or loss).
Loans and Notes Receivable
Through the Citys various housing rehabilitation funds and first-time home buyers funds, the City has
loaned funds to qualifying individuals and businesses. Interest rates vary depending on the terms of the
loan. Interest is accrued on the loans that bear interest. Some of these loans were transferred to the
successor agency and are reported in the respective trust fund.

The GASB has issued Statement No. 66, Technical Corrections 2013. The objective of this Statement
is to improve accounting and financial reporting for a governmental financial reporting entity by resolving
conflicting guidance that resulted from the issuance of two pronouncements, Statements No. 54, Fund

Issuance of refunding pension note with Umpqua Bank:

Note: In 1978 the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 13 which limited property
taxes to a total maximum rate of 1% based upon the assessed value of the property being taxed.
Each year, the assessed value may be increased by an "inflation factor" (limited to a maximum of
2%). With few exceptions, property is only reassessed at the time that it is sold to a new owner. At
that point, the new assessed value is reassessed at the purchase price of the property sold. The
assessed valuation data shown above represents the only data currently available with respect to
the actual market value of taxable property and is subject to the limitations described above.

(1) As of February 1, 2011, the Lakeport Redevelopment Agency was dissolved by the State of
California. Property taxes formerly allocated to the Agency are now done so to satisfy existing
debt obligations administered by its successor, the City of Lakeport.

Note: In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13, which sets the property tax rate at a
1.00% fixed amount. This 1.00% is shared by all taxing agencies whose boundaries include the
subject property. In addition to the 1.00% fixed amount, property owners are charged taxes as
a percentage of assessed property values for the payment of Kelseyville Unified School Bonds,
Lucerne Elementary School Bond, Lake Sanitation Bonds, County Service Area #6, Callayomi
Water, Clearlake Oaks Water, Konocti Unified School Bond, Middletown Unified School Bond,
Upper Lake High School Bond, Lakeport Unified High School Bonds, Yuba Community College
Bonds, and Mendocino Community College.

Notes: The Government Code of the State of California provides for a legal debt limit of 15% of grossed assessed secured tax valuation. However, this provision was enacted
when assessed valuation was based upon 25% of market value. Effective with the 1981-82 fiscal year, each parcel is now assessed at 100% of market value (as of the most recent
change in ownership for that parcel). The computations shown above reflect a conversion of the assessed value for each fiscal year from the current full valuation perspective to
the 25% level that was in effect at the time that the legal debt margin was enacted by the State of California for local governments located within the state.

The City does not have any outstanding general obligation debt subject to the limit.

RESOLUTION NO. **** (2016)


A RESOLUTION OF THE LAKEPORT CITY COUNCIL AMENDING THE LAND USE
DESIGNATION PLAN (Figure 1) OF THE CITY OF LAKEPORT GENERAL PLAN
FOR APN 005-038-33 AND 005-038-34 KNOWN AS THE LANDS OF RAY SOMBERG
FROM RESORT RESIDENTIAL TO MAJOR RETAIL AND RESIDENTIAL
WHEREAS, Section 65361 of the Government Code of the State of California limits the
amendment of the Lakeport General Plan to not more than four times per year; and
WHEREAS, this Resolution is presented as the first quarter amendment of 2016; and
WHEREAS, the City of Lakeport Planning Commission has conducted a public hearing
(January 13, 2016) on the proposal submitted by the Ray Somberg (GPA 15-02) and
recommended that the City Council adopt the proposed General Plan Amendment; and
WHEREAS, the Lakeport City Council conducted a public hearing on March 1, 2016 to
consider the recommendation made by the Planning Commission and approved said
amendments.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
A.

The Land Use Designation Map (Figure 1) of the Lakeport General Plan is hereby amended
to change lands described as APNs 005-038-33 and 005-038-34 from Resort Residential to
Major Retail and Residential as shown by the map marked as Exhibit A.

B.

The findings in support of the amendment of the General Plan are as follows:
1. The Lakeport General Plan establishes four criteria which must be satisfied to approve
a General Plan amendment.
a. The project proponent must demonstrate in a factual way that the proposed
amendment benefits the publics interest.
b. The proposed amendment must be consistent and compatible with the remainder
of the General Plan and any implementation programs that it may affect.
c. The potential impacts of the General Plan amendment have been assessed and
have been determined not to be detrimental to the public health, safety, and
welfare.
d. The amendment has been processed according to the California Government Code
and California Environmental Quality Act.
2. The City Council finds that:

RESOLUTION NO.

GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT

ATTACHMENT 1

a. The provision of Major Retail for the property fronting South Main Street (1930
South Main Street) would be consistent with the majority of parcels along South
Main Street. The resort residential use would not allow commercial and retail
use. The proposed change from Resort Residential for the rear parcels (10 Queen
Ann Way) would allow single family residential uses consistent with the
neighboring property to the north. The intent of the resort residential
designation is to provide resort uses and high density residential uses along the
shoreline of Clear Lake. At one point, a man-made channel provided access from
the property to Clear Lake, but only during high water levels. To maintain that
water channel a significant amount of dredging and costly permits from the Army
Corps of Engineers would be required. Given these issues, a resort use with
viable access to Clear Lake at this site is very unlikely. The area lacks good
pedestrian facilities that is critical to higher density developments and is not
located within an area which has close access to the wide array of basic general
services utilized by residential areas on a daily basis. The proposal for a General
Plan Amendment to Major Retail and Residential to accommodate three
residential buildings is in the publics interest and is consistent with previous uses
at this location.
b. According to the text of the Lakeport General Plan Land Use Element, the Major
Retail designation is the principle retail designation for the Lakeport area; the
place for regional and local serving retail establishments; specialty shops; banks;
professional offices; motels; business and personal services..This designation is
typically assigned to larger parcels that can provide sufficient land for a shopping
center; located on a major arterial street and established commercial areas with
off street parking and/or clusters of street-front stores.Consistent zoning
districts include, but are not limited to C-1, C-2 and C-3. While the Residential
designates areas suitable for single family dwellings.Consistent zoning districts
include, but are not limited to, R-1 and R-2.
The proposed change of the General Plan designation from Resort Residential to
Major Retail and Residential, is consistent and compatible with the existing City of
Lakeport General Plan Land Use Map along with other applicable goals,
objectives, policies, and programs of the General Plan. Additionally, the proposal
is consistent with the existing development patterns within this area of southern
Lakeport.
c. The changes to the General Plan designation associated with this project reflects
the historic development in this part of the South Main Street Area. The General
Plan Amendment applications for the proposed commercial use along South Main
Street and the residential use in the rear of the property described above is
consistent with the goals and policies of the Lakeport General Plan. The City in its
preparation and adoption of the Lakeport General Plan intended for the area
along South Main Street to be zoned C-2 Major Retail and the areas located
toward the lake zoned residential. Through this action the City made a
comprehensive determination that commercial and residential zoning of the
subject lots would in fact not be detrimental to the communitys health, safety

and welfare, because its consistent with the Land Use Designation Map. The
project as defined in the Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) would reduce traffic and
impacts on public services. This perspective, which relates directly to the
communitys health, safety, and welfare, is acknowledged in the Introduction
section of the Lakeport General Plan which indicates that the General Plan
represents an agreement among the residents of Lakeport on basic values,
ideals, and aspirations to govern a shared environment.
d. Lakeport City staff has prepared an Initial Study (IS) environmental document in
accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The CEQA IS addresses the totality of the Somberg project including the
TPM, the General Plan designation change, and the proposed Zone Change, and
can be found as Attachment 2 of the Planning Commission staff report of January
13, 2016, along with proposed mitigation measures. In addition, the mitigation
measures have been incorporated into the Project Conditions of Approval.
The IS has identified potentially significant environmental impacts associated with
the proposed TPM for the proposed site improvements and has recommended
mitigation measures which when implemented will reduce and eliminate the
identified impacts to a less than significant level. There are no potentially
significant environmental impacts identified in the IS that are associated with the
General Plan and Zoning Change for the Somberg project.
This Resolution was passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Lakeport at a regular
meeting held on the 1st day of March, 2016.

A location map showing the subject property and its immediate surroundings is included

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The property was previously known as Victorian Village
with 95-lot condominium lots. The projects was approved in 2003. Phase 1, which
included 14 lots was recorded in 20**. The remaining seven phases were not recorded.
The property was recently acquired by the project applicant who submitted the subject
applications in lieu of completing the remaining development associated with the
previously approved Victorian Village property.
Proposed Parcel 4 is physically divided from the rest of the project by the development
of Phase of Victorian Village but is accessible directly to South Main Street. The
remainder portion of the property to the rear of Phase 1 is proposed to be divided into
three (3) residential parcels ranging in size from 1.3 to 2.4 acres. Access will be
provided through the extension of Queen Ann Way, a private road providing access to
the existing Victorian Village subdivision via South Main Street. As a result of this
previous development, the proposed extension of Queen Ann Way will also be
maintained as a private road.
The property is located south of a mobile home park; north, east and south of
commercial uses, and west of vacant/agricultural land. An RV park once operated on

Staff Report

this property, and water, sewer and other utilities still exist on the property that once
served the recreational vehicles. An older man-made channel exists in the rear of the
property provides accesses Clear Lake during periods of high water.
The applicant is proposing to change the General Plan designation and the Zoning on
the property adjacent to South Main Street from Resort Residential, Planned
Development (R-5, PD) to Major Retail (C-2), consistent with other uses in the
immediate area along South Main Street. This property was created as a remainder
parcel following the recordation of Victorian Village Phase 1 and currently is not a legal
lot of record. With the recordation of the parcel map, the proposed commercial property
(Parcel 4) would be legalized. At this time, there is no commercial use or development
proposed for this property.
The applicant is proposing to change the General Plan designation and the Zoning on
the property located in the rear of the property from Resort Residential, Planned
Development (R-5, PD) to Residential (R-1). The purpose of this general plan and
zoning change is to allow division of the property into three parcels with single family
dwellings on each. Parcel 1 is 1.61 acres in size and located adjacent to Victorian
Village Phase 1, Parcel 2 is 1.34 acres in size and located in the center of the property,
Parcel 3 is 2.44 acres in size and located in the rear of the property. Both Parcel 2 and
3 would have access to the existing man-made channel with access to Clear Lake
during periods of high water. Access to the three properties would be from Queen Ann
Way, through Parcel 1 and ending in a cul-du-sac at the junction of Parcel 1, Parcel 2
and Parcel 3. At this time, aside from creating the lots there is no residential
development proposed for these properties.
The subject property had a single family dwelling on the property that was demolished
in November, 1988. In 1988, the City approved an Architectural and Design Review (AR
88-06) and Environmental Review (ER 88-005) permits for a recreational vehicle (RV)
park. The RV park was developed with Sewer, water, and electrical to each RV unit.
In September 2, 2003, the City Council approved Victorian Village a 95-lot
condominium units. Only phase 1 was recorded with 14-lots. The remaining units (81lots) were never recorded and have subsequently expired.
The PD (Planned Development) zoning on this property was associated with the high
density residential for the Victorian Village development. Since this project is changing
the land use to commercial and single family residential and no longer represents high
density residential development the PD zoning is no longer relevant.
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND ZONE CHANGE: According to the Lakeport
General Plan, the Citys land use planning document is not to remain static. California
law permits up to four General Plan Amendments per year. Most of these amendments
will involve a change in land use designation for a particular piece of property as is the
case in this application. State law requires that any decision to amend the General Plan
be based on factual information with findings of fact. These findings are the rationale
for making a decision to either approve or deny a proposed amendment. The
Proposed General Plan Amendment would represent the first such amendment this
calendar year.

Staff Report

As noted, the application for a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change is being
pursued by the applicant with the intent of utilizing the one portion of the property
located at 1930 South Main Street (APN 005-038-33), to allow future commercial
development, while the other portion of the property located at 10 Queen Ann (APN
005-038-33) in the rear of the property, to allow three single family residential lots.
The current General Plan designation of the property is Resort Residential which allows
resort uses and high density residential along the shores of Clear Lake. The current
zoning of the property is R-5 (Resort/High Density Residential) which allows a mixture
of resort, residential, and lake-associated uses primarily along the shore of Clear Lake
and other appropriate locations. The general plan land use and zoning designation
Resort Residential (R-5) would not allow either retail uses along South Main Street or
single family residential uses at the rear portion of the property. In order to develop the
property as the applicant proposes, and be consistent with the Lakeport Zoning
Ordinance, this application is proposing changes to retail and residential use sited in
lands zoned R-1, Low Density Residential and C-2, Major Retail respectively, with a
corresponding general plan land use designation.

Lakeport Municipal Code Section 17.32.010 (Zoning Amendments) &


Section 17.32.020 (General Plan Amendments).

Staff Report

As the required findings for both General Plan amendments and Zone Change are
nearly identical; and the proposed applications both seek a change in the designation of
the entire site from Resort Residential (R-5) to Major Retail (C-2) and Residential (R-1)
the staff analysis of these findings have been combined for simplicity and to allow for
greater understanding of the entire project as a whole. Staff analysis of each individual
finding criteria is as follows:
1.
The proposed General Plan Amendment & Zone Change is in the publics
interest.
Staff Analysis: The proposed changes include a change from Resort Residential to Major Retail
for proposed Parcel 4 which fronts South Main Street and Residential for proposed Parcels 1, 2
and 3 located behind the existing Victorian Village subdivision and accessed through the
extension of Queen Ann Way.
The proposed change from Resort Residential (R-5) for the front parcel (Parcel 4) would allow
commercial/retail uses along South Main Street consistent with the majority of parcels along
South Main Street. The resort residential use would not allow commercial and retail use. At this
time, there are no proposed uses on the new 0.70 acre lot with a 220-feet of frontage along
South Main Street, however the commercial/retail use of this property would reflect the best use
of this property, consistent with neighboring uses in the immediate area fronting on South Main
Street. The proposed Parcel 4 is part of a TPM application which is a component of this
development project.
The proposed change from Resort Residential (R-5) for the rear parcels (Parcels 1, 2 & 3)
would allow single family residential uses consistent with the neighboring property to the north.
The resort residential use would not allow single family residential uses as proposed with this
project, only high density residential uses. The intent of the resort residential designation is to
provide resort uses and high density residential uses along the shoreline of Clear Lake. At one
point, a man-made channel provided access from the property to Clear Lake, but only during
high water levels. To maintain that water channel a significant amount of dredging and costly
permits from the Army Corps of Engineers would be required. Given these issues, a resort use
with viable access to Clear Lake at this site is very unlikely.
The proposed general plan and associated zone change would reduce the maximum permitted
density on this 5.39 acre property from 118 to 176 units to 44 units with the residential use.
Although the proposal represents a significant loss of available housing for this property, the
reduction would not represent a significant loss for the City as a whole, with 312 acres of vacant
and under developed sites with residential and high density residential designations situated
throughout the City. Currently, the total vacant acres in the city are 14 acres of high density
residential and 28 acres of resort residential. The change in land use would not represent a
significant loss and would not reduce the amount of lands available for higher density housing
below a level that would be inconsistent with the Citys General Plan Housing Element. It is also
important to note that the location and other physical features of this site make it a less than
ideal site for the possible development of 100 additional housing units. A large portion of the
property is located within the 100 year floodplain. The area lacks good pedestrian facilities that
is critical to higher density developments and is not located within an area which has close
access to the wide array of basic general services utilized by residential areas on a daily basis.
The large size of the proposed residential lots could allow further subdivisions under different

Staff Report

ownership. For example, Lot 1 at 1.61 acres could be further subdivided into four to eleven
parcels.
The applicant has submitted a written statement Statements for approval and/or justification
for a General Plan Amendment and zone change which provides background information and
rational for the proposed general plan and zoning changes (See Attachment 6) . The applicants
statement discusses the fact that the previous development of Victorian Village with its overall
size and scope may not be feasible at this current time. The change to three estate parcels is
more desirable. The applicant also adds that the development of Victorian Village has not
provided the affordable housing with the costs associated the development of Phase 1. The
applicant also adds that the changes would reduce traffic in the immediate area.
The proposal for a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to Major Retail and Residential
to accommodate three residential buildings and major retail is in the publics interest and is
consistent with previous uses at this location.
2. The proposed General Plan Amendment & Zone Change is consistent and
compatible with the entire General Plan and any implementation programs that may be
affected.
Staff Analysis: The Lakeport General Plan has been adopted in accordance with the provisions
of California law and includes several mandatory elements such as Land Use,
Transportation/Circulation, Noise, Conservation, Safety, and Housing. In addition there are
several other General Plan Elements that the City has chosen to include such as the Urban
Boundary, Community Design and the Economic Development Elements. Within each of these
General Plan Elements there are stated purposes, discussion about existing conditions, goals,
objectives, policies, programs and responsible parties. Taken together the General Plan
language is intended to be internally consistent and compatible and to provide the community
with a clear understanding as to what the intended land use and growth picture of the City is.
The Lakeport General Plan also includes a Land Use Designation Map Figure 1. This map
illustrates land use designations for all land within the City of Lakeport and surrounding areas.
The current Land Use designation for the existing property east of South Main Street is Resort
Residential.
According to the text of the Lakeport General Plan Land Use Element, the Major Retail
designation is the principle retail designation for the Lakeport area; the place for regional and
local serving retail establishments; specialty shops; banks; professional offices; motels;
business and personal services..This designation is typically assigned to larger parcels that
can provide sufficient land for a shopping center; located on a major arterial street and
established commercial areas with off street parking and/or clusters of street-front
stores.Consistent zoning districts include, but are not limited to C-1, C-2 and C-3. While the
Residential designates areas suitable for single family dwellings.Consistent zoning districts
include, but are not limited to, R-1 and R-2.
The proposed change of the General Plan designation from Resort Residential to Major Retail
and Residential, as well as, the proposed changing of the zoning designation from Resort/High
Density Residential (R-5) Zoning District to Major Retail (C-2) and Low Density Residential (R-1)
Zoning Districts is consistent and compatible with the existing City of Lakeport General Plan
Land Use Map along with other applicable goals, objectives, policies, and programs of the
General Plan. Additionally, the proposal is consistent with existing development patterns within
this area of southern Lakeport.

3. The potential impacts of the proposed General Plan Amendment & Zone Change
have been assessed and have been determined not to be detrimental to the public health,
safety, and welfare.
Staff Analysis: The changes to the General Plan designation associated with this project
reflects the historic development in this part of the South Main Street Area. The General Plan
Amendment and Zoning Change applications for the proposed commercial use along South
Main Street and the residential use in the rear of the property described above is consistent with
the goals and policies of the Lakeport General Plan. The City in its preparation and adoption of
the Lakeport General Plan intended for the area along South Main Street to be zoned C-2 Major
Retail and the areas located toward the lake zoned residential. Through this action the City
made a comprehensive determination that commercial and residential zoning of the subject lots
would in fact not be detrimental to the communitys health, safety and welfare, because its
consistent with the Land Use Designation Map. The project as defined in the TPM would reduce
traffic and impacts on public services. This perspective, which relates directly to the
communitys health, safety, and welfare, is acknowledged in the Introduction section of the
Lakeport General Plan which indicates that the General Plan represents an agreement among
the residents of Lakeport on basic values, ideals, and aspirations to govern a shared
environment.
4. The proposed General Plan Amendment & Zone Change has been processed in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the California Government Code and the

California Environmental Quality Act.


Staff Analysis: Lakeport City staff has prepared an Initial Study (IS) environmental document in
accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The CEQA
IS addresses the totality of the Somberg project including the TPM, the General Plan
designation change, and the proposed Zone Change, and can be found as Attachment 2 to this
staff report along with proposed mitigation measures. In addition, the mitigation measures have
been incorporated into the Project Conditions of Approval (Attachment #4).
The IS has identified potentially significant environmental impacts associated with the proposed
TPM for the proposed site improvements and has recommended mitigation measures which
when implemented will reduce and eliminate the identified impacts to a less than significant
level. There are no potentially significant environmental impacts identified in the IS that are
associated with the General Plan and Zoning Change for the Somberg project.

TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP APPLICATION


TPM PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In accordance with the provisions of the City of Lakeport
Subdivision Ordinance, the land owner/project proponent has submitted a tentative parcel map
(TPM) application for the purpose of subdividing a 6.09 acre parcel of land into four (4) parcels.
The proposed parcels include parcel 4 fronting South Main Street, while parcels 1, 2, & 3 would
be located on a new privately-owned 25-foot wide street right of way, extending from South
Main Street and through the Victorian Village site. The 25-foot wide private street right of way
was created with the approval of the Victorian Village subdivision. The 25-foot wide street right
of way does not meet city standards and would be required to remain private, with the
maintenance and repair provided by the property owner. The private street right-of-way is
proposed to extend east from Victorian Village a distance of approximately 225 feet to a cul-desac bulb.

Staff Report

The subject property, which has been assigned two Assessor parcel numbers by the County, is
considered by the City as a single lot of record. Both parcels were created as two reminder
parcels following the recordation of Victorian Village Phase 1. APN 05-038-33 is a rectangularshaped parcel containing approximately 0.70 acre of land fronting on South Main Street. APN
05-038-34 is a rectangular-shaped parcel containing 5.39 acres of land located easterly of
Victorian Village Phase 1 and includes a man-made channel extending from Clearlake at the
eastern portion of the property. This existing channel has silted in over the years and now only
provides access to Clear Lake during periods of high water levels.
Proposed Parcel 1 is a residential parcel located easterly and adjacent to the Victorian Village
development, with Queen Ann Way extending through the property. Parcel 1 will front on and
access from Queen Ann Way. Parcel 1 is a rectangle shape dimension of 179 x 331. Parcel 1
will contain 1. 61 acres of land area.
Proposed Parcel 2 is a residential parcel situated just to the east of Parcel 1, along the north
portion of the property and will also have a rectangular shape and a rough dimension of 272 x
268. Parcel 2 will be fronting on the terminus of Queen Ann Way. The new cul-de-sac will be
located at the southwest corner of Parcel 2. This parcel will contain 1.34 acres of land area.
Proposed Parcel 3 is a residential parcel situated east of Parcel 2 extending to the end of the
property and will also have a angular shape and a rough dimension of 501 x 331. Parcel 2 will
be fronting on the terminus of Queen Ann Way. The new cul-de-sac will be located at the
southwest corner of Parcel 3. This parcel will contain 1.34 acres of land area.
Proposed Parcel 4 will be a commercial parcel that is rectangular-shaped. It will be located on
the east side of South Main Street and have approximately 220 of frontage (width) and 145 of
depth. Proposed Parcel 4 is vacant and will contain 0.70 acres of land area. Future commercial
development at this site would require the approval of additional development permits.
The TPM (Attachment 4) identifies the subject site and the proposed subdivision. The TPM
includes a legal description, general notes, a list of utility providers, and general information
about the project.
The TPM generally complies with the Citys Subdivision Ordinance in terms of the details that
must appear on the map. The TPM identifies the existing improvements on each of the
proposed parcels, along with ground surface elevations, adequate areas for building locations,
vegetation, existing and proposed public easements, adjacent land ownership and
development, adjacent right-of-way and street improvements, existing water and sewer utilities,
flood zone boundaries, drainage channels and easements, and other information.
The TPM identifies improvements associated with the previous RV park facilities at this site that
include water lines, sewer lines, and electrical lines that served each RV space, on proposed
Parcels 1, 2 and 3. The water and sewer lines associated with the RV Park have either been
removed or are in the process of being removed, and would not be used by the three proposed
parcels. An existing 36 stormwater drain is located along the northern property line that drains
a larger area to the west of South Main Street. A 10-foot easement is proposed along the north
side of the property for existing stormwater drain. The existing stormwater drainage system on
the property serves Victorian Village Phase 1, and would also serve parcel 1, 2, 3, and 4
associated with this project. The existing and proposed water system and sewer system would
extend along Queen Ann Way for proposed Parcels 1, 2 and 3. The water and sewer service for
Parcel 4 would extend from South Main Street. The TPM indicates that sewer service and water
service will be supplied by the City of Lakeport. A 5-foot easement is proposed along the south
side of the property.

The subject property has a relatively flat topography with a high-point elevation of 1,335 above
sea level and a low-point elevation of 1,320. The land slopes from west to east. The 1320
elevation is located at the bottom of an older channel that extends from Clearlake. There are 18trees scattered around the property of APN 05-038-33, that includes 6-ash, 5-maple and 3mulberry trees that were planted as part of the RV Park, and 4-willow trees located along the
south side of the channel. No riparian vegetation was identified in the channel area. The other
property of APN 05-038-34 fronting South Main Street only has grasses, and no trees. No
native trees are proposed to be removed as the result of improvements associated with this
TPM. Tree removal associated with future development will be required to adhere to the Citys
Tree Preservation Ordinance found in Section 17.21 of the Lakeport Zoning Ordinance.
Portions of the eastern portion of the property would be located within the 100-year floodplain.
Development of any of the single family residences would be required to locate the habitable
area above the 100-year floodplain (1330.8).
Fire protection is provided by the Lakeport County Fire Protection District. The TPM illustrates
the 55 wide Queen Ann Way accessing from South Main Street that narrows down to 25 as it
extends through Victorian Village and reaches the proposed parcels. At this time, Queen Ann
Way would be the primary access to the proposed three residential parcels. Hampton Park
would not be used as access for the proposed three residential parcels. The 25 road width
would not meet the Citys road standard and remain private. Vehicular access to proposed
Parcel 4 (the commercial property) would require access from South Main Street. The 23
roadway from Queen Ann Way on the south side of parcel 4 would be an inadequate access
width for the commercial use of the property, and would be required not to be used. The
Lakeport Fire Protection District reviewed the project and found roadway widths, turn-around
areas, and location of fire hydrant to be adequate.
CONFORMANCE WITH THE SUBDIVISION MAP ACT AND TITLE 16 OF THE LAKEPORT
MUNICIPAL CODE / SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE:
The project as submitted is consistent with the requirements as set forth in the California
Subdivision Map Act and the Lakeport Subdivision Ordinance, for a subdivision of four or less
parcels. The plans have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Lakeport
Subdivision Ordinance and suitable for recordation with the Lake County Recorder.
Section 16.12.030 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires all relevant data shall be provided for
the review of the project and preparation of all required environmental documents. A
Geotechnical and Geological Feasibility Report was prepared by Thomsen Consulting
Engineers in 2002, for the original Victorian Village subdivision. The report did not identify any
geotechnical or geologic constraints on subdividing this property. Conditions have been added
that would be required for the development of the property. The report was determined
adequate for the purpose of the subdivision, updated geotechnical reports may or may not be
required at the time of the building permits to address changes to the building code since 2002.
An Archaeological Report was prepared for the property in 1989, that due to the propertys
location, a high probability for cultural artifacts exists. In 2003, an archaeological monitoring
program was prepared. That monitoring program has been added as a mitigation measure for
the cultural resource section of the Initial Study, under CEQA. In addition, staff has met with
representatives of the Big Valley Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians and Scotts Valley Band of
Pomo Indians, to address cultural resources on the site, that includes the preparation of a tribal
agreement and tribal monitors on the property during excavation.
City staff has prepared a CEQA Initial Study which includes the TPM project. Notice of the TPM
and CEQA public hearing concerning the project has been made in accordance with the
Municipal Code. The Planning Commission must find that the TPM, together with the provisions

for the design and improvement thereof, is consistent with the Lakeport General Plan and
applicable provisions of the Subdivision Ordinance.
If the TPM is approved or conditionally approved, the Community Development Department will
forward a written report to the City Council who shall review the map, as part of the General
Plan amendment and Zoning change. The Council review shall take place at a public hearing
after notice is given.
The proposed lots appear to be proper for their proposed use as a commercial and residential
subdivision. The area in which the subdivision is proposed is also residential and commercial in
nature and the proposed subdivision is consistent with the other lots in this locality. The size
and shape of the proposed lots is proper as the topography of the subject site is essentially flat.
The proposed lot sizes are not less than the applicable Zoning Ordinance standards as each
parcel exceeds the minimum lot size in the C-2 District and the R-1 District.
The proposed lots are suitable for the purpose for which they are intended which is to provide
for three residential parcels on the residential property and the one commercial parcel proposed
with the General Plan and Zoning changes. The lot layout design is defined by the shape of the
parcel and the need to provide for the development of Queen Ann Way along the south side of
the property. The proposed residential lots provide land area for the three single family
residences and associated uses. The proposed lot provides land area for the commercial uses,
parking, landscaping, utilities, and other existing and proposed site improvements. The Lakeport
Zoning Ordinance defines the building and site development standards for future improvements.
All of the proposed residential lots are large in terms of land area (1.34 2.44 acres) and are of
sufficient dimension to facilitate future subdivisions, if under separate ownership, providing
further potential housing opportunities.

INITIAL STUDY AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW


The proposed General Plan Amendment from Resort Residential to Major Retail and
Residential; the proposed Zoning Change from R-5, Resort/High Density Residential to C-2,
Major Retail and R-1, Low Density Residential, the 4 lot TPM and required improvements, and
related site improvements is defined as the project per the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The project is subject to the provisions of CEQA and is also subject to Chapter 8.08 of
the City of Lakeport Municipal Code and Resolution No. 1160 which details the Citys
environmental review procedures.
Notice of the project has been provided to City departments and affected agencies and the
submitted comments are addressed in the Initial Study/Environmental review (Attachment 2). A
20-day public review period for the proposed mitigated negative declaration in accordance with
CEQA has also been conducted beginning on November 16, 2015. At the time of writing the
staff report two comments from the public regarding the proposed Initial Study/Environmental
Review have been received.
Comments include the following:

Water, sewer, and storm drains lines are inaccurate. Staff Response: Comment noted.
The City has no evidence of the inadequacy of the utilities. The existing stormdrain is in
place and serving Victorian Village Phase 1 and would serve the four proposed parcels.
The plans are adequate for the purpose of the TPM with water and sewer being stubbed
to the property line. At the time of development of structures on the property all water,
sewer and utilities would be extended to the residential properties and the commercial
properties.

The Utilities with the original RV Park are broken and not in place.
Staff Response:
The applicant is in the process of removing and/or disconnecting the utilities associated

with the RV park, and would be required to install new utilities. The existing stormwater
drains on the property are serving Victorian Village Phase 1 and would remain.

An Archeologist should be required for all excavation.


Staff Response: The project
would be conditioned to have not only an Archeologist, but would also include a Tribal
Monitor present during all major excavations.

The Geotechnical Report is from 2002, and should have expired or is inadequate, as
well as being prepared for another person. Staff Response: The Geotechnical report
was submitted with the project and was determined adequate for the purposes of this
parcel map. If the Building Official requires additional geotechnical information, that
would be required at the time of development upon individual parcels. The Geotechnical
Report was prepared for the property, ownership of said report is between the various
property owners and is not an issue for the city.

There is a 1 deep sheet flow flood zone on the western portion of the property not
included in the initial study.
Staff Response: There is a potential for sheet flow
flooding on the western (commercial) property. At this time, the city does not have plans
for the development of the commercial property, and would require plans for any
structure to be located 1-foot above the sheet flow flood zone.

There is currently no water service to either property, the water service for the
easternmost properties requires an agreement with the VV HOA for water service and all
other utilities, which at this time does not exist.
Staff Response: The applicant has
been involved with reestablishing the VV HOA (Victorian Village Homeowners
Association) and would take the leadership role in expanding the water and utilities.
Since all roadways and utilities would remain private, it would be the responsibility of the
VV HOA to maintain the roadway and utilities.

An 8 foot solid wall should be required to mitigate the potential light and noise impacts,
of the proposed commercial uses along South Main Street on the existing residential
uses directly east. Staff Response: The project at this time is a parcel map that does
not include construction on the commercial property. An 8 wall may be required at the
time of the construction of the commercial building, depending on the type of commercial
use proposed on that property.

A representative from Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians requested consultation for the
proposed projects.
Staff Response: Staff has met with local Pomo Tribal
representatives and have added conditions to reflect that meeting.

Comments from the public are still permitted to be received through the January 13, 2016 public
hearing scheduled before the Planning Commission.
The potentially significant effects identified in the Initial Study/Environmental Review include: air
quality, biological resources, cultural resources, and geology/soils.
Staff has developed mitigation measures which have been agreed to by the applicant, and when
implemented will mitigate the identified environmental impacts to a less than significant level.
Proposed mitigation measures in the Initial Study/Environmental Review document (Attachment
2) and are further included in the proposed Project Conditions of Approval (Attachment 3).

Daniel Chance, Associate Planner

PROJECT LOCATION: The property is 7.8 acres in size, located easterly of South Main
Street, and is currently being developed as Victorian Village, Phase 1 (14 condominium lots) on
a portion of the property. That development includes two roadways, Queen Ann Way and
Hampton Way, with Queen Ann Way being the primary access from South Main Street.
The property is located in the southern portion of the City Lakeport. The subject property is
located at 1930 South Main Street and 10 Queen Ann Way and is further described as APN 05038-33 & 34. The property was previously known as Victorian Village with 95-condominimum
lots, divided into in the 8 phases. Only Phase 1 was recorded and developed with 14-units.
Those homes are currently in various stages of development. The other phases of the original
project, Phase 2 thru 7 (70 units) in the rear of the property and Phase 8 (12 units) fronting
South Main Street have not been recorded or developed. The property was originally used as
an RV (recreational vehicle) park. The property outside of Victorian Village Phase 1 is
currently vacant, with some roadways, utilities, and parking spaces for the former RV Park.
The utilities (electrical, water and sewer lines) for the original RV Park are still in place, but
disconnected.
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION AND ZONING DISTRICT:
The City of Lakeport General
Plan designates the property as Resort Residential. The City of Lakeport Zoning Map
identifies the property as R-5 Resort/High Density Residential, and includes the PD Planned
Development overlay district associated with the Victorian Village 95-unit condominium
development.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed project consists of two General Plan Amendments
that includes changing the property fronting on South Main Street from Resort Residential to

Major Retail and changing the property located easterly and Behind Victorian Village (Phase
1) from Resort Residential to Residential. The proposed project consists of two Rezonings that
include changing the property fronting on South Main Street from R-5/PD, Resort/High Density
Residential/Planned Development to C-2, Major Retail and changing the property located
easterly and behind Victorian Village (Phase 1) from R-5/PD, Resort High Density
Residential/Planned Development to R-1 Low Density Residential. The project also includes a
minor subdivision that would create four parcels. The subdivision would include creating three
residential parcels located easterly and behind Victorian Village (Phase 1), as well as
identifying the property fronting on South Main Street as a legal lot of record, Parcel 4. The
front lot would be commercial, as part of the proposed land use and zoning changes.
SURROUNDING LAND USE: To the south of the property is the Record Bee building zoned C2, Major Retail, and vacant land with a residence located behind, zoned R-5 PD, Resort/High
Density Residential, Planned Development. North of the property is a vacant parcel fronting
South Main Street, zoned C-2, Major Retail, and a Mobile Home Park, zoned R-2 PD, Medium
Density Residential/Planned Development. West of the site on the other side of South Main
Street is retail commercial property zoned C-2, Major Retail and commercial property zoned C3, Service Commercial. East of the property is vacant/open space in the County with a land use

DETERMINATION
On the basis of the initial evaluation that follows:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment,
and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,
there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been

made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE


DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a potentially significant impact or potentially
significant unless mitigated impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has
been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,
and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as
described on attached sheets. A TIERED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is
required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately
in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b)
have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE
DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the
proposed project, no further environmental document is required. FINDINGS consistent
with this determination will be prepared.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:


1)
A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are
adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses
following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced
information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one
involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer
should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general
standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a
project-specific screening analysis).
2)

All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as
on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as
well as operational impacts.

3)

Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, and
then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant,
less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant

ZC15-03 CEQA

Initial Study
10/20/2015

ATTACHMENT 3

Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If


there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is
made, an EIR is required.
4)

"Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies


where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially
Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe
the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than
significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be
cross-referenced).

5)

Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other
CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative
declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the
following:
a)
Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b)
Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist
were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document
pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were
addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c)
Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation
Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures, which were
incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they
address site-specific conditions for the project.

6)

Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to


information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances).
Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate,
include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.

7)

Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources
used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.

8)

This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats;
however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that
are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected.

9)

The explanation of each issue should identify:


a)
the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b)
the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than
significance
INITIAL STUDY AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

Response I a): The project will not substantially damage scenic resources within a state scenic
highway as there is no scenic highway in the vicinity of the project site.
Response I b): The proposal will not substantially degrade the existing visual character or
quality of the site and its surroundings. The existing site was formerly utilized as an RV park for
several years and there are no significant or notable structures or other improvements that will
be impacted by the proposed project. The proposed project, through the development of three
residential units in the rear of the property and the potential for commercial development along
South Main Street, with associated landscaping materials, will not significantly impact the visual
character or impact a scenic quality of the site.
Response I c): It should be noted that some existing trees will be removed from the site in
order to develop the proposed three single family residential units. The types of trees on the
property include ash, maple, walnut, and mulberry, all non-native trees associated with the
previous RV-Park. Willow trees are located along the upper edges of the channel, and under
the Citys Tree Preservation Ordinance would require replacement with the removal of any
willow trees. The potential development of the three single family residential units and the
commercial property along South Main Street would not substantially degrade the visual
character of the site or surrounding area. No trees are proposed for removal with the

installation of improvements, any tree removal would be addressed at the time of development
of the three residential units.
Response I d): The project provides for the potential development of three single family
residential units and one commercial building that would not create the potential for substantial
light and glare; or would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area. The applicant
would be conditioned to meet the City of Lakeport lighting standards that all exterior lighting will
be shielded, downlit or otherwise designed so as to eliminate glare-related impacts.

ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The City of Lakeport is located within the eco-region known as the Northern California Interior
Coast Ranges. Northern California Interior Coast Ranges vegetation is predominately
characterized by the Blue Oak series, Chamise series, Purple needle grass series, and Foothill
pine series. The vegetation within these plant communities vary greatly and are generally
influenced by several ecological factors, including the amount of water available, soil depth and
chemistry, slope and aspect (angle of the terrain with regard to direct sunlight), and climate.
Response IV a): The proposed development of the site could have some impact on the
diversity and numbers of existing plant and animals on the subject property; however, the fact
that the site was utilized as an RV park has resulted in a change in the conditions associated
with the native plant environment and habitat. There is a dredged channel and vegetated areas
on the west side of the site. The project would be conditioned to require a 20-foot setback from
the upper edge of the channel. However, the size and scope of three residential dwelling units
in the immediate area would not significantly increase in runoff generated from the subject site
which could impact biological resources within the lagoon area, and the off-site run off into the
lagoon would be similar to what has historically taken place with the RV Park.
Response IV b): Due to the scope of the project and the fact that it is a conversion of an
existing RV park, the proposal will not have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or
through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special
status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department
of Fish and Game or the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. For the same reasons, the
proposal will not have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive
natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California
Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service.
Response IV c): The fact that there are no designated wetland areas on the site means that
the proposal will not have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as
defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Review of the Victorian Village project did not
identify any designated wetlands existing on the property.
Response IV d): The developed nature of the existing site means that potential development
of three residential units and a commercial building will not interfere substantially with the
movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native
resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites.
Response IV e): Development of the proposed project will not conflict with any local policies or
ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance.
Chapter 17.21 of the City of Lakeport Municipal Code sets forth the guidelines for native tree
preservation and lists several tree species that must be replaced if they are removed in
conjunction with a development project. As described in the Aesthetics section of this report,
some of the existing trees will be removed in conjunction with the development of the three
homes in the rear of the property.
Although some of trees would be required to be removed from the site for the development of
roadways and homes, the majority are not native trees as they were planted in conjunction with
the development of the RV Park approximately 22 years ago. The willow trees which are native
and would be protected with their location within the 20-foot setback from the edge of channel.

Response V a): The property is currently vacant, and with a former use as an RV park; there
are no historic structures on the property.

Response V b-d): Development of the proposed project has the potential to disturb
paleontological resources and archaeological resources as they have been determined to be
present on the subject property. Notice of the proposal was submitted to the California
Archeological Inventory at Sonoma State University who indicated that the project site contains
a known archaeological site (CA-LAK-215) that includes obsidian flakes and tools, worked
bone, shell, ochre, and human bone. The Inventory recommends that an archaeologist assess
potential impacts to the site and provide specific treatment recommendations.
The Inventory also notes that a previous site study (Study #S-11383, Mikkelsen and White,
1989) identified one or more historical resources and recommends that a qualified
archaeologist assess the status of the site and provided specific recommendations. The
Inventory noted that their review is based on scientific information and also recommended that
the applicant contact the local Native American tribes regarding traditional, cultural and religious
values. With the following mitigation measures, potential impacts to cultural resource can be
addressed:

substantial risks to life or property?
e) Have soils incapable of adequately
supporting the use of septic tanks or

water?

The proposed development of the parcel map, the construction of three residential units,
commercial building, as well as related utilities will result in some disruption, displacement,
compaction, and over-covering of the soils on the subject site. There may also be changes in
topography and the existing ground surface features.
Response VI a.i-iii): The proposed project area may expose people or structures to potential
substantial adverse effects, including strong seismic ground shaking, seismic related ground
failure, landslides, and related geologic impacts.
According to Chapter 6 Safety Element of the Lakeport General Plan (page VI-3), Lakeport
is located in a highly-active earthquake area, and there exists the potential for a significant
earthquake event in the future. There are known active faults in the vicinity of Lakeport,
including the San Andreas Fault and the Healdsburg Fault. Both of these faults have been
responsible for moderate to major earthquakes in the past. The maximum earthquake
magnitudes which have been recorded to date are 8.5 on the San Andreas Fault and 6.75 for
the Healdsburg Fault. Other faults in the vicinity are the Big Valley Fault adjacent to the eastern
City boundaries, the Rogers Creek Fault in Sonoma County, and several smaller faults in the
Cobb Mountain and Hopland Grade areas (Mayacamas).
It is important to note that the
subject property lies to the south of the Fault Rupture Study Zone detailed on Map VI-1 of the
Citys General Plan.
Response VI a.iv): The subject property has a slightly varied topography. City topographical
data indicates the ground surface of the subject property has a high point of 1,334 feet above
sea level in the southwest portion of the parcel and a low point of 1,328 feet above sea level
near the southeast property corner. The majority of the site has a relatively flat terrain.
Response VI b): It is important to note that the development of the former RV park project
required the modification of the sites ground surface features including the dredging of the
lagoon and the depositing of soils on the remainder of the site.
The applicant has submitted a Geotechnical and Geological Feasibility Report prepared by a
licensed geotechnical engineer Neil Thompsen. A copy of this report dated June 12, 2002 is
included in the Community Development Departments file and incorporated herein by
reference.
Response VI c): The aforementioned geotechnical and geological feasibility report notes that
the site is relatively flat and that very little grading will be required. The report describes the

ZC15-03 CEQA

12

Initial Study
10/20/2015

ATTACHMENT 3

types of soils present on the site and also addresses the sites seismic conditions, slope
stability, and presence of uncompacted fill.
Response VI d): The report indicates that the sites geological hazards are relatively common
and can be mitigated using well known and commonly used construction techniques.
Extraordinary and extremely expensive methods to mitigate the existing geological hazards
will not be required for the subject property according to the submitted report.
The reports conclusion describes three different geological hazards. The primary hazard is the
potential for seismic shaking during an earthquake. The report indicates that it is reasonable to
assume that during the life of the proposed structures, the site will be subject to at least one
moderate to severe earthquake that will cause strong ground shaking. According to the report,
the best way to mitigate this potential hazard is to build structures with wood framing in
accordance with the latest building code. The second geological hazard is the moderate to high
shrink-swell potential of the clay soil and fill at the site. The report indicates that this hazard can
be easily mitigated by controlling surface drainage around structures and employing proper
foundation design and construction.
The third geological hazard is the potential for differential settlement of the underlying relatively
soft soil and the uncompacted fill. The report indicates that differential settlement is possible,
especially if large building loads are imposed on the soil. The report indicates that deep
excavations are not practical in these situations and that pile foundations are often used to
support buildings. The report states that this issue will need to be evaluated during the
detailed geotechnical engineering investigation of the site. If is determined that differential
settlement is possible, then a deep foundation design will be needed to prevent settlement of
structures. The Mitigation Measures include recommendations from the Geotechnical and
Geological Feasibility Report.
Response VI e): Development of the proposed project will not result in or expose people to
potential hazards involving landslides, substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil. Adequacy
of the sites soils to support septic tanks or other alternative waste water disposal systems is
not applicable as the Citys sewer system will serve the project.
Mitigation Measures Geology and Soils

project or the continual use of the three single family residence and/or the eventual use of the
commercial property. The project would not add to cumulative impacts associated with
greenhouse gas.

where wildlands are adjacent to
urbanized areas or where residences
are intermixed with wildlands?

Response VIII a-d): The proposed parcel map and subsequent construction of three
residential dwellings and one commercial building does not appear to have the potential to
create significant hazard to the public related to the routine transport, use, or disposal of
hazardous materials. There also does not appear to be a significant hazard related to
reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous
materials into the environment. The proposed project does not propose to emit hazardous
emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials within one-quarter mile of an
existing or proposed school. The proposed project is not located on a site which is included on
a list of hazardous material sites compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5.
Response VIII e-f): The proposed project is not located within an airport land use plan nor
within two miles of an airport or public use airport which would result in a safety hazard for
people residing or working in the project area. The project is not in the vicinity of a private
airstrip which would result in a safety hazard for people working or residing in the project area.
Response VIII g): The proposed project includes a private roadway (Queen Ann Way) to the
three residential units that currently do not meet city standards. Although the private streets will
be narrower, the fire department reviewed the roadway and determined Queen Ann Way would
be adequate to serve emergency vehicles. The proposed project would not appear to impair
implementation of, or physically interfere with, an adopted emergency response plan or
emergency evacuation plan.

where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed wildlands.
However, the proposed development located easterly of South Main Street, southerly of
Clearlake, and in a highly urbanized area minimizes the risk of wildland fires.

IX. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY:

b) Substantially deplete groundwater
supplies or interfere substantially with
groundwater recharge such that

Response IX ac): The proposed development of three residential units and one commercial
building and related driveways, roadways and other impervious surfaces will result in the
changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and/or the rate and amount of surface water
runoff generated from the subject property. There will be no significant increase in the amount
of storm water runoff generated at this site, from what has historically taken place on the
property. The project site is located within the 17.8 acre Todd Road Drainage Basin according
to City records.
Any impact associated with new impervious surfaces with this project will be mitigated by the
payment of the Citys standard storm drainage mitigation fee ($0.10 per square foot of new
impervious surfaces). Payment of this fee will be required prior to the issuance of a building
permit.
Construction of the project is not expected to violate any water quality standards or waste
discharge requirements; substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially
with groundwater recharge; substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,
including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would
result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site or substantially increase the rate or
amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site; create or
contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water
drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff; otherwise
substantially degrade water quality; or expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss,
injury or death involving inundation by tsunami or mudflow.
Response IX de): An important issue related to storm drainage is the fact that the storm
water runoff generated at this site will be directed into the sites lagoon which is essentially an
extension of Clear Lake. Storm water runoff generated from streets, parking areas and
driveways contains a variety of automobile-related toxins which could alter the quality of the
surface water of Clear Lake if discharged directly into the lake. As has been required with other
projects of this nature, staff recommends that an adequate number of oil/sediment interceptors

ZC15-03 CEQA

17

Initial Study

ATTACHMENT 3

be provided as part of the on-site drainage system in order to minimize these potential impacts.
A low-cost filter type oil/sediment interceptor will be sufficient provided it is maintained in the
future.
Staff has reviewed the Citys Storm Drainage Master Plan which appears to indicate that a 72
diameter pipe is necessary in the vicinity of the subject property to accommodate the storm
water flows generated by the Todd Road Drainage Basin, west of South Main Street. A
condition would be added to provide a 10-foot easement along the northern property line to
provide for any future expansion and development of a 72 diameter stormwater pipe. A 36
line currently exists at the present time. However, the development of the proposed project will
not add to the storm water flows carried in the existing 36 pipe. The storm water generated
from the subject property will be conveyed to the lagoon area via a separate set of pipes. The
project as proposed would include a ten foot easement along the northern property line to
accommodate any future drainage improvements.
Response IX f): The size and scope of this project would not degrade water quality.
Response IX gi): The ground surface elevation in the eastern portion of the subject property
lies below the 100-year flood level. Construction activities in these areas will be required to
comply with the Citys Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance in order to eliminate the potential
exposure of residents to flood-related hazards.
Response IX j): Although the subject property lies to the south of the seiche inundation study
zone shown on Map VI-4 of the General Plans Safety Element, the proximity of the site to Clear
Lake means that residents of the proposed residential project could be exposed to seicherelated impacts. However, this is not considered to be a significant impact based on past
history of development near the Clear Lake shoreline.

Response X a-c): The project involves General Plan Amendments and Rezoning of APN 05038-33 and 34, and a parcel map to develop four separate parcels. Three parcels will be
developed with single family residences and one parcel fronting South Main Street would have
the potential of being developed with a commercial building. The original development
Victorian Village included 93-condominium residential units, of which only 14-units were
developed (Phase 1), leaving two disconnected remainder properties. The first property is 0.70
acres in size, fronting South Main Street and northwest of Phase 1. The second property is
5.41 acres in size, located behind Phase 1. The project as proposed includes subdividing the
rear property into three single family residential parcels, and creating a legal lot of record for the
property along South Main Street for future Commercial use.
The subject property is designated Resort Residential according to the City of Lakeport General
Plan Land Use Map and is zoned R-5 PD Resort Residential/Planned Development according
to the Citys zoning map. The project includes changing the General Plan Designation of the
property from Resort Residential to Major Retail for the property fronting South Main Street, and
Residential for the property in the rear. The project includes rezoning the property from R-5
PD, Resort Residential/Planned Development to C-2, Major Retail for the property along South
Main Street and from R-5 PD Resort Residential/Planned Development to R-1, Single Family
Residential for the property in the rear. With the proposed changes to the General Plan and
Zoning the property is in conformance with the Citys Land Use Plan and will not conflict with
any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project
adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. Staff review of the
large number of vacant and underutilized lots throughout the city zoned high density and
resort/high density residential exists that provide adequate high density housing opportunities.
There are no applicable habitat conservation plans or natural community conservation plans in
place at the present time. The project would be consistent with the changes to the General Plan
designation and the zoning. In addition, the land use changes reflect similar uses in the
immediate area, such as Major Retail land use along South Main Street.
The project as proposed reflects a large reduction of residential units from what was originally
approved on the property with the Victorian Village development. That subdivision created 93
developable residential parcels on 6.78 acres of land. Only 14 of those parcels have been
developed or in the process of being developed. Following the 2008 recession, condominium
development of this nature has not been in demand and funding to develop these types of
projects are not being funded. The 12 residential lots on the parcel fronting South Main Street
would be converted to commercial use. The remaining 67 residential lots in the rear of the
property would be replaced by 3 residential lots. The density of the 5.41-acre remainder
property in rear of the property in accordance with the Citys General Plan, would be allow as
many as 39 units according to the General Plans density standards. The density of the
proposed project is approximately .55 dwelling units per acre. Upon sale of any of the three
properties, the new owner could further subdivide the property. Staff has evaluated the
proposed parcel one for a future four lot subdivision, if the opportunity arises.

expose people residing or working in


the project area to excessive noise
levels?

Response XII a-d): The project would not appear to expose persons to, or cause generation
of excessive ground-borne vibration or ground-borne noise levels, nor result in a substantial
permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity. The expected noise levels
are those normally associated with typical single family residential development.
The proposed project will result in an increase in existing noise levels in the project area but will
not expose people to severe noise levels. The expected slight increase will be due to the
construction and occupation of three new residential units. There may be some noise impacts
associated with the future construction and use of the commercial building along South Main
Street.
Residents of the adjoining development will experience a slight increase in noise levels.
However, the typical residential activities that are expected to take place within the proposed
condominium development will not expose area residents to continuously excessive noise
levels. Excessive noise in residential areas is defined in Section 17.28.010 of the Municipal
Code as noise or other sound emissions which exceed 60 dBA for any 15-minute period in any
one-hour period, while commercial areas are limited to not exceed 70 dBA for any 15-minute
period in any one-hour period.
The construction activities associated with the development of the proposed project will be
subject to the noise guidelines set forth in Chapter 17.28 of the Lakeport Municipal Code. The
project would be conditioned that all construction meet the Citys noise guidelines and with that
condition the potential noise impacts associated with this project would be mitigated.
Response XII e), f): The subject site is not located within an airport land use plan nor in the
vicinity of a private airstrip which would generate substantial noise impacts.

Response XIII a -c): No significant impact anticipated. The proposal will not induce
substantial population growth in the Lakeport area, either or indirectly; displace substantial
numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere;
or displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement
housing elsewhere.
As stated in the land use section, existing housing opportunities throughout town would provide
enough high density residential inventory, that the loss of the high density residential with this
project would not reflect a significant loss of housing available in the city.
The three proposed residences will have either two or three bedrooms according to the
submitted information. Recent data (January 2002) prepared by the State of California
Department of Finance indicates that an average of 2.425 people occupy each household in
Lakeport. Based on this figure, approximately 7 people can be expected to reside at the
project, and would not reflect a major change to the population of Lakeport.

Response XIV a): The proposed subdivision and construction of the three residential units and
a potential for a commercial building will not result in substantial adverse physical impacts
associated with the provision of new or physically-altered governmental facilities, need for new
or physically-altered governmental facilities, the construction of which would not cause
significant environmental impacts in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response
times, or other performance objectives for any of the following public services:
Fire protection: The Lakeport County Fire Protection District reviewed the proposed project
and did not identify any issues associated with the proposed project. The location of the existing
fire hydrants, as well as, the width and size of the private roadway and cul-de-sac were
reviewed by the Lakeport County Fire Protection District and determined adequate.
Police protection: The City of Lakeport Chief of Police reviewed the proposed project and did
not identify any issues associated with the proposed project.
Schools: The size and scope of the proposed project, with three residential dwellings, would
not have a significant impact on the Lakeport Unified School District.
The Lakeport Unified School District Board of Trustees has adopted a school impact fee
resolution in accordance with State law. This resolution currently requires the builder of
commercial buildings pay a fee of $0.49 per square foot and residential structures to pay a fee
of $2.97 per square foot of living area to the School District to mitigate the impacts to the
schools.
Parks: The proposed project will not create a need for new or physically-altered park facilities,
the construction of three residential dwellings would not cause significant environmental
impacts. Potential impacts to the Citys existing park system are addressed in the Recreation
section of this report.

facilities, such that substantial physical deterioration of a facility could occur or be accelerated.
The City of Lakeport has a limited number of park facilities, and the addition of 3 dwelling units
and approximately 7 new residents, would not have an impact on existing facilities within the
community.
The Lakeport General Plan calls for the acquisition and development of 75 acres of parkland by
the year 2020 (5 acres of developed parkland per 1,000 residents). When the General Plan
was adopted in 1992, the ratio was 1.94 acres of parkland to 1,000 residents. With the
development of the Westside Community Park - Phase One Improvements, expansion of park
facilities is underway.
The City has determined that all subdivision projects will lead to an increased demand for parks
or other recreational facilities. Municipal Code Section 16.16.040 E. indicates that the
subdivider is required to pay a fee in lieu of dedication if the proposed subdivision contains less
than fifty (50) parcels and sets forth the applicable criteria.
The fees paid are to be used for special, community, and neighborhood parks and related
facilities in such a manner that the locations of such facilities bear a reasonable relationship to
their use by the future inhabitants of the newly created subdivision.

a) Cause an increase in traffic which is


substantial in relation to the existing
traffic load and capacity of the
street system (i.e., result in a
substantial increase in either the
number of vehicle trips, the volume

congestion at intersections)?
b) Exceed,
either
individually
or
cumulatively, a level of service
standard established by the county
congestion management agency for
designated roads or highways?
c) Result in a change in air traffic
patterns, including either an increase
in traffic levels or a change in
location that results in substantial
safety risks?
d) Substantially increase hazards due to
a design feature (e.g., sharp curves
or
dangerous
intersections)
or
incompatible
uses
(e.g.,
farm
equipment)?

Response XVI a-b): According to the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation
Manual (6th Edition), a typical single family dwelling generates an average weekday vehicle trip
end per unit of 10.00. This is the total of all trip endings plus all trips leaving a dwelling. Based
on 3 new dwelling units at ultimate build-out, this project will add approximately 30 trips to the
surrounding street system. The trips generated by the commercial property would be difficult to
calculate at this time since traffic numbers are calculated by type of use and square footage of
the structure. Any proposal for the development of the commercial property would require the
traffic analysis to determine the potential impacts at that time. However, due to the small size
of the commercial property, it can generally be estimated that the commercial use would not
generate a high number of vehicle trips that would have an impact on the surrounding
roadways.
The subject property has been operated as an RV park for several years in the past. However,
it is clear that the RV park never generated substantial amounts of traffic. The development of
the proposed project will result in a generation of weekday vehicle trips that would not represent
a significant increase from the previous use as an RV park.
Response XVI c): The size and scope of this project will not result in a change in air traffic
patterns through an increase in traffic levels or a change in location, which will result in a
substantial safety risk to any airport.
Response XVI d): Access to the three residential parcels would be through Queen Ann Way, a
private roadway, maintained by the Victorian Village Homeowners Association. Although the
roadway does not meet city standards, the road would be adequate to serve the three parcels.
Access to the commercial parcel would be directly from South Main Street. The 0.70 acre
commercial parcel would limit the size, use and parking availability would limit the commercial
use of the property, and would not represent a significant impact. The traffic generated by the
project will not have a significant impact on the operation of South Main Street or on the
operation of the intersection of South Main Street and Peckham Court. The project would not
increase hazards due to roadway design features or incompatible circulation uses.
Response XVI e-f): The size and scope of the project as proposed would not result in
inadequate emergency access or inadequate parking capacity.
Response XVI g): The proposed project would not impact adopted policies, plans, or
programs supporting alternative transportation. The size and the scope of project would not
warrant a bus stop or bike racks.

Response XVII a-e): The proposed development of 3 new dwelling units and future
commercial structure will not exceed the wastewater treatment requirements of the Central
Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. Sewage generated from the project will flow to
the Citys sewage treatment plant in south Lakeport and the treatment plant has adequate
capacity for the proposed project. As such, the project will not require or result in the expansion
of existing facilities.
Development of the proposed project will not require or result in the construction of new storm
water drainage facilities or an expansion of existing facilities. The applicant proposes no
modifications to the existing storm water drainage system at this time.
As stated in the

ZC15-03 CEQA

ATTACHMENT 3

Hydrology and Water Quality section of this report, the project would provide a 10-foot
easement along the northern property line, that accommodate any expansion of storm water
drain facilities required in the future. An existing stormwater drain system exists on the property
that currently serves Victorian Village Phase 1, and would adequately serve the commercial
parcel and the three residential parcels.
The proposed development of 3 new dwelling units and future commercial structure will not
exceed the domestic water supplies or require expansion of existing City water system. Water
entitlements are issued on a building permit basis, on a first-come - first-served basis.
Response XVII f-g): The project will be served by the Eastlake Landfill which has sufficient
permitted capacity to accommodate the projects solid waste disposal needs. The project is
expected to comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste.

XVIII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE Potentially


Significant
Impact

a) Does the project have the potential


to substantially degrade the quality
of the environment, substantially
reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below selfsustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal
community, substantially reduce the
number or restrict the range of an
endangered, rare or threatened
species; or eliminate important
examples of the major periods of
California history or prehistory?
b) Does the project have the potential
to achieve short-term environmental
goals to the disadvantage of longterm environmental goals?
c) Does the project have impacts that
are individually limited, but
cumulatively considerable?
("Cumulatively considerable" means
that the incremental effects of an
individual project are significant
when viewed in connection with the
effects of past projects, the effects of
other current projects, and the
effects of probable future projects)?

d) Does the project have environmental


effects which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?

Response XVIII a) d): Based on the findings set forth in the Initial Study, the proposed
general plan amendments, rezoning and parcel map does not have the potential to adversely
impact the environment unless mitigation measures are incorporated into the project approval.
The potentially significant effects identified herein are related to air quality, cultural resources,
and geology/soils. Staff has developed/recommended conditions that will mitigate the impacts
to a less than significant level. The potential environmental impacts identified in the Initial Study
are less than significant with mitigation measures incorporated .

Phase II
SUBMITTED BY:

MEETING DATE:

Kevin M. Ingram, Community Development 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 conduct a public hearing for the consideration of a revised CEQA Initial
Study/Environmental Review (ER 06-01) prepared for the Downtown Lakeport Improvement Plan, as proposed
by the City of Lakeport in order to allow construction activities associated with Phase II to occur between the
hours of 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The original Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted in 2006, covering all the improvements in Phase I and
Phase II. However, since that original adoption Phase I has been completed and the plans for Phase II have been
revised to include a smaller area and for all construction to take place at night. The current proposal consists
pedestrian and roadway improvements along Main Street between First and Fourth Streets.
The previously approved Mitigated Negative Declaration for the original project did not analyze the potential
impacts related the allowance of night time construction. The work taking place at night would have a potential
for impacting neighboring residences with excessive noise and lighting glare. In addition, the project had to be
reviewed to address some additional changes in CEQA since the documents originally adopted in 2006.
The purpose of the construction taking place at night is to limit the impacts on the downtown businesses,
reduce traffic impacts, and faster completion of the improvements. Amended sections of the Amended
Mitigated Negative Declaration primarily include: aesthetics, cultural, and noise related sections.
Staff hosted a community workshop to discuss the potential impacts related to night time construction on
January 21, 2016. Notice of the workshop was provided to local business owners and all property owners within
500 feet of the project area. Following this public meeting staff made revisions to the previously approved
environmental document and re-circulated to agencies who commented on the original document for a 30 day
period consistent with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.
The Planning Commission also reviewed the revised document at its February 10, 2016 meeting. The
Commission supported the Amended Mitigated Negative Declaration, however, the Commission had concerns
with noise impacts during work at the First, Second, Third and Fourth Street intersections, where no two-story
buildings would reduce those noise impacts. The Commission recommended noise insulating blankets during
construction at those intersections. Staff concluded that the use of noise insulating blankets, along with other

noise canceling procedures may be an adequate tool by the contractor to mitigate noise impacts and reduce
overall noise decibels.
The revised Environmental Review/Initial Study (ER 06-01) is provided as Attachment 1 of this report.
OPTIONS:
1. After conducting the public hearing and consideration of the proposed project, consider the
recommendations of the Planning Commission and Community Development Department as set forth in the
staff report, adopt the revised Environmental Review/Initial Study.
2. After conducting the public hearing and consideration of the proposed project, direct staff to make
modifications or revisions to the proposed Environmental Review/Initial Study.
3. After conducting the public hearing and consideration of the proposed project, take no action or take action
to deny the project.

PROPOSED ACTION AND LOCATION: An application for an Amended Environmental


Review for the adoption and implementation of the proposed Downtown Lakeport
Improvement Plan Phase II. The original improvement plan covered about seven blocks
from Forbes, Main, and Park Streets which run north and south and Armstrong, First,
Second, Third, and Fourth Streets which run east and west. The original Mitigated
Negative Declaration (ER06-01) addressed a larger area, and developed mitigation
measures for the entire project area. The current proposed Downtown Lakeport
Improvement Plan Phase II consists of improvements only along Main Street from First
Street to Fourth Street. A map is included in the improvement plan which details the
project boundaries. Although the mitigation measures from the original Mitigated
Negative Declaration would address this smaller area of the downtown construction of

ATTACHMENT 1

the revised phase II portion of the project is proposed to take place between the hours
of 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM. The potential impacts of having the work taking place at night
were never addressed as part of the original Mitigated Negative Declaration. In
addition, in the ten years since the original adoption of the Mitigated Negative
Declaration, the California Environmental Quality Act and State law have required
other issues to be addressed as part of the environmental review process. Those issues
have been analyzed and new mitigation measures recommended as part of this
amended Mitigated Negative Declaration.
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION AND ZONING DISTRICT: The project area is designated
by the City of Lakeport General Plan Land Use Map as primarily Central Business District,
with one area designated for Parkland Uses. The area is zoned CB Central Business
District. Chapter 17.12 of the City of Lakeport Zoning Ordinance contains the
regulations for the Central Business District. The project area encompasses the historic
commercial core of the City of Lakeport and contains a mix of commercial, office,
institutional, governmental, residential, and open space land uses.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
City staff and hired consultants for the Downtown
Improvement Plan Phase II have been working with the Lakeport City Council, Planning
Commission, City Departments, Lakeport Main Street Association, Lakeport Regional
Chamber of Commerce, and many interested citizens, business owners, and property
owners.
The Downtown Improvement Plan is an outgrowth of the existing downtown district
urban design goals and policies as set forth in the Community Design Element of the
Lakeport General Plan.
The City of Lakeport applied for and obtained Planning and Technical Assistance Grant
financing from the California Housing and Community Development Department.
Since that original project, many of the funding opportunities have been reduced,
requiring a smaller project.
The Downtown Improvement Plan includes a map and description of proposed
improvements. There is also a written text describing the Plan. The project area is
illustrated on the next page:

ER 06-01 / City of Lakeport


Downtown Improvement Plan

Amended Initial Environmental Study

ATTACHMENT 1

The overall Downtown Improvement Plan addresses a number of public area


improvements that are intended to be designed and constructed over a several year
period. Phase I development which included expanded sidewalks, street trees and
other pedestrian improvements along 3rd and Park Streets east of Main Street have
been previously completed.
The improvements are financed primarily by
Redevelopment funds. These improvements include:
1.

Roadway improvements which will, in some cases, include reconstruction of


existing roads and intersections. The existing street configuration and traffic
patterns within the project area will essentially remain the same including two-way
traffic and a center turn lane on Main Street. There will be some traffic calming
measures implemented, including vehicular and pedestrian safety by narrowing
the streets at intersections and will be engineered to allow turning movement by
large vehicles.
Existing storm drainage along the Main Street public right-of-way would be
constructed to provide connectivity to the existing storm drain systems at First,
Second, Third and Fourth Streets with the construction of the proposed street
improvements.

ATTACHMENT 1

2.

Sidewalk and paving treatments: The sidewalks within the improvement area will
be demolished, removed, and replaced, along with curbs, gutters, and
handicapped ramps in order to provide a uniform appearance, a high standard
of public safety, and the opportunity to implement a regular pattern of street trees
and decorative paving accents. The new sidewalks will be concrete, with areas of
colored and stamped to resemble brick at intervals consistent with the placement
of street trees.

3.

Parking: Parking configurations in the downtown improvement area will remain


static with parallel spaces provided on both sides of most streets.

4.

Landscaping, Street Trees, and Lighting: The Downtown Improvement Plan Phase
II calls for the replacement of street trees along Main Street. The Zelkova tree, a
column-type variety is preferred and will be a deciduous tree showing seasonal
color. Root barriers will be used to mitigate damage to paving, and the trees will
be planted in 4 square wells and protected with tree grates. The final placement
of the street trees will require careful analysis in order to avoid conflicts with
lighting, signage, and building entries. Vintage-style decorative street lights have
been installed along Main Street in the project area. Flower baskets will continue
to be provided on the lights and will be irrigated with an automatic system.
Irrigation will also be provided to street trees.
Street furniture, lighting, benches, trash receptacles, newspaper and bike racks,
and alleyway improvements will all be designed into the downtown improvements
with a common theme and design approach.

5.

The construction proposed with Downtown Improvement Plan Phase II would take
place between the hours of 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM. The purpose for the work taking
place at night is to reduce potential impacts on businesses along Main Street. The
project would include performing all demolition and construction at night, while
providing access to the businesses each morning. The work at night would require
construction lighting.

6.

Preliminary Cost Estimate and Time Frame: A preliminary budget for the specified
work has been developed at a cost of slightly over $2.2 million. The time line for
Downtown Improvement Plan Phase II is anticipated to take place from March 29,
2016 with a completion date of August 15, 2016.

Mandatory Findings
of Significance

DETERMINATION
On the basis of the initial evaluation that follows:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in
the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment,
and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a potentially significant impact or
potentially significant unless mitigated impact on the environment, but at least
one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures
based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. A TIERED
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects
that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed
adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable
standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or
NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are
imposed upon the proposed project, no further environmental document is
required. FINDINGS consistent with this determination will be prepared.

ATTACHMENT 1

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:


1)

A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that
are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the
parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately
supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply
does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a
fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based
on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not
expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening
analysis).

2)

All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as
well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and
construction as well as operational impacts.

3)

Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may
occur, and then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is
potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant.
"Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that
an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant
Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.

4)

"Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated"


applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect
from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead
agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they
reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from
Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced).

5)

Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other
CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or
negative declaration. Section 15063(c) (3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion
should identify the following:
a)
Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for
review.
b)
Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above
checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier
document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether
such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier
analysis.
c)
Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with
Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures,

ER 06-01 / City of Lakeport


Downtown Improvement Plan

ATTACHMENT 1

which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the
extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
6)

Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to


information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning
ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should,
where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the
statement is substantiated.

7)

Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other


sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.

INITIAL STUDY AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW


The adoption of the proposed Downtown Improvement Plan is subject to the provisions
of the California Environmental Quality Act. It is also subject to Chapter 8 of the City of
Lakeport Municipal Code and Resolution No. 1160, both of which deal with
environmental review.
The following Initial Study / Environmental Review identifies potentially significant
impacts associated with the project and suggest mitigation measures which are
expected to reduce the impacts to a less than significant level.

and its surroundings?
Create a new source of substantial
light or glare which would adversely
affect day or nighttime views in the
area?

Less Than
Significant with
Mitigation
Incorporation

Less Than
Significant
Impact

No
Impact

Response I a):
The adoption and future implementation of the Downtown
Improvement Plan Phase II will not have a substantial adverse effect on an established
scenic vista. Map III-1 of the City of Lakeport General Plans Conservation, Open Space
and Parks Element details environmentally sensitive areas, including view corridors. No
view corridors are located within the project area boundaries. The nearest view
corridor is located along the Clear Lake shoreline in the vicinity of Library Park. There is
no impact.
Response I b): The project will not substantially damage scenic resources within a state
scenic highway. Highway 29 is located approximately one mile west of the project
area but is not considered a scenic highway according to the State of California
Department
of
Transportation
website
(http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/
LandArch/scenic/cahisys.htm).
The website indicates Highway 29 is eligible for
consideration as a State Scenic Highway but is not officially designated as such. There
is no impact.
Response I c): The proposal will not substantially degrade the existing visual character
or quality of the site and its surroundings.
The proposed Plan provides for
enhancements to public sidewalks and other paved areas, additional landscaping,
lighting, street furniture and other related public improvements, all of which are
intended to enhance the existing visual character and quality within the downtown
area. There is no impact.
Response I d): With respect to the potential creation of substantial light and glare that
would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area, the Downtown Improvement
Plan Phase II calls for maintaining the Sternberg vintage-style decorative street lights
along Main Street.
During construction at night, the work will require lights to illuminate those areas under
construction. These lights operating at night may have a potential for excessive light
and glare impacting neighboring residential homes. Staff is recommending a mitigation
measure consistent with City regulations calling for a requirement that the construction
lighting be down lit, illuminating only the construction area, and have no off-site glare.
The height of buildings within the downtown area will also assist in reducing construction
lighting from impacting surrounding residential neighborhoods. This potential impact is
less than significant with mitigation incorporation.
See conclusion of report for recommended mitigation measure.

Response II a): Staff reviewed the State of California Important Farmland Map for Lake
County and visited the web site for the State of California Department of Conservation,
Division of Land Resource Protection Division (http://www.consrv.ca.gov/
DLRP/index.htm), and found that area affected by the proposed Downtown
Improvement Plan is not considered to be prime farmland, unique farmland or farmland
of statewide importance. The project site is located in an urban/built-up area
according to the Important Farmland Map. The proposal will not result in the
conversion of prime farmland to non-agricultural use. There is no impact.
Response II b): No properties within the project area are subject to a Williamson Act
contract according to GIS map data maintained by the County of Lake. There is no
impact.
Response II c): There are no components of the project that could result in the
conversion of officially-designated farmland to a non-agricultural use. There is no
impact.

Response III a): Notice of the proposal was provided to the Lake County Air Quality
Management District (LCAQMD). Written comments were not submitted but Lake
County Air Quality Management District personnel verbally indicated that their agency
did not have any notable concerns or comments regarding the original Downtown
Improvement Plan. There was no indication that the amended proposed project will
conflict with or obstruct the implementation of the Countys air quality program. There
is no impact.
Response III b): Some construction activities related to the proposed downtown
improvements will result in temporary localized increases in particulate air pollution
related to excavation, hauling, trenching, demolition, and other construction activities.
Construction activities also result in pollutant emissions from the operation of gasoline
and diesel powered equipment. This potential impact is less than significant with
mitigation incorporation. See conclusion of report for recommended mitigation
measures related to minimizing the generation of fugitive dust and other related
problems during construction periods to a less than significant level.
As described above, the Lake County Air Quality Management District was contacted
and offered no objections or notable comments regarding the proposal.
Response III c): The adoption and implementation of the Downtown Improvement Plan
Phase II will not directly result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria
non-attainment pollutant. The Lake County region is currently under attainment levels
for all criteria pollutants. There is no impact.
Response III d, e): Adoption of the Plan and the subsequent development of the
proposed improvements are not expected to expose sensitive receptors to substantial
pollutant concentrations or result in the creation of objectionable odors. Map III-1 of
the City of Lakeport General Plans Conservation, Open Space and Parks Element
identifies sensitive air quality receptors and none are shown within the boundaries of the
project area. Although not specifically listed as sensitive receptors, there are several

REGULATORY SETTING
Federal Endangered Species Act
The Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA) defines an endangered species as any
species or subspecies that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant
portion of its range. A threatened species is defined as any species or subspecies that is
likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or
a significant portion of its range.
Once a species is listed it is fully protected from a take unless a take permit is issued
by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). A take is defined as the killing, capturing,
or harassing of a species. Proposed endangered or threatened species are those
species for which a proposed regulation, but not final rule, has been published in the
Federal Register.
Migratory Bird Treaty Act
To kill, possess, or trade a migratory bird, bird part, nest, or egg is a violation of the
Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (FMBTA: 16 U.S.C., 703, Supp. I, 1989), unless it is in
accordance with the regulations that have been set forth by the Secretary of the
Interior.
Clean Water Act Section 404
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) regulates all discharges of dredged or fill
material into waters of the United States. The United States Army Corps of Engineers is
the agency responsible for administering the permit process for activities that affect
waters of the United States. Executive Order 11990 is a federal implementation policy,
which is intended to result in no net loss of wetlands.
Natural drainage channels and wetlands are considered Waters of the United States
(hereafter referred to as jurisdictional waters). The extent of jurisdiction within
drainage channels is defined by ordinary high water marks on opposing channel
banks. Wetlands are habitats with soils that are intermittently or permanently saturated,
or inundated. The resulting anaerobic conditions select for plant species known as
hydrophytes, which show a high degree of fidelity to such soils. Wetlands are identified
by the presence of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils (soils saturated intermittently or
permanently saturated by water), and wetland hydrology according to methodologies
outlined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (USACE 1987).
Clean Water Act Section 401
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires an applicant who is seeking a 404
permit to first obtain a water quality certification from the Regional Water Quality
Control Board. To obtain the water quality certification the Regional Water Quality
ER 06-01 / City of Lakeport

Control Board must indicate that the proposed fill would be consistent with the
standards set forth by the state.
Fish and Game Code 2050-2097 - California Endangered Species Act
The California Endangered Species Act (CESA) protects certain plant and animal
species when they are of special ecological, educational, historical, recreational,
aesthetic, economic, and scientific value to the people of the State. CESA established
that it is the States policy to conserve, protect, restore, and enhance endangered
species and their habitats.
The CESA expanded upon the original Native Plant Protection Act and enhanced legal
protection for plants. To be consistent with Federal regulations, CESA created the
categories of "threatened" and "endangered" species. It converted all "rare" animals
into the Act as threatened species, but did not do so for rare plants. Thus, there are
three listing categories for plants in California: rare, threatened, and endangered.
Under State law, plant and animal species may be formally designated by official listing
by the California Fish and Game Commission.
Fish and Game Code 1900-1913 - California Native Plant Protection Act
In 1977, the State Legislature passed the Native Plant Protection Act (NPPA) in
recognition of rare and endangered plants of the state. The NPPA gave the California
Fish and Game Commission the power to designate native plants as endangered or
rare, and to require permits for collecting, transporting, or selling such plants.
Public Resources Code 21083.4 - Oak Woodlands Conservation
In 2004, the California legislature enacted SB 1334, which added oak woodland
conservation regulations to the Public Resources Code. This law requires a County to
determine whether a project within its jurisdiction may result in a conversion of oak
woodlands that will have a significant effect on the environment. If a County
determines that there may be a significant effect to oak woodlands, the County must
require oak woodlands mitigation alternatives to mitigate the significant effect of the
conversion of oak woodlands. Such mitigation alternatives includes: conservation
through the use of conservation easements; planting and maintaining and appropriate
number of replacement of trees; contribution of funds to the Oak Woodlands
Conservation Fund for the purpose of purchasing oak woodlands conservation
easements; and/or other mitigation measures developed by the County.
Public Resources Code 21000 - California Environmental Quality Act
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) identifies that a species that is not
listed on the federal or state endangered species list may be considered rare or
endangered if the species meets certain criteria. Under CEQA, public agencies must
determine if a project would adversely affect a species that is not protected by FESA or
CESA. Species that are not listed under FESA or CESA, but are otherwise eligible for
listing (i.e. candidate, or proposed) may be protected by the local government until
the opportunity to list the species arises for the responsible agency (i.e. USFWS or CDFG).
Fish and Game Code 3503, 3503.5, 3800 - Predatory Birds
Under the California Fish and Game Code, all predatory birds in California, generally
called raptors, are protected. The law indicates that it is unlawful to take, possess, or
ER 06-01 / City of Lakeport

ATTACHMENT 1

destroy the nest or eggs of any such bird unless it is in accordance with the code. Any
activity that would cause a nest to be abandoned or cause a reduction or loss in a
reproductive effort is considered a take. This generally includes construction activities.
Fish and Game Code 1601-1603 Streambed Alteration
Under the California Fish and Game Code, the Department of Fish and Game (CDFG)
has jurisdiction over any proposed activities that would divert or obstruct the natural
flow or change the bed, channel, or bank of any lake or stream. Private landowners or
project developers must obtain a Streambed Alteration Agreement from the CDFG
prior to any alteration of a lake bed, stream channel, or their banks. Through this
agreement, the CDFG may impose conditions to limit and fully mitigate impacts on fish
and wildlife resources.
ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The City of Lakeport is located within the eco-region known as the Northern California
Interior Coast Ranges. Northern California Interior Coast Ranges vegetation is
predominately characterized by the Blue Oak series, Chamise series, Purple needle
grass series, and Foothill pine series. The vegetation within these plant communities vary
greatly and are generally influenced by several ecological factors, including the
amount of water available, soil depth and chemistry, slope and aspect (angle of the
terrain with regard to direct sunlight), and climate.
Habitat Types
This eco-region is composed of a variety of plant communities that support a diversity of
wildlife species. Each plant community is dependent on special ecological factors
within that particular plant community. Micro-habitats occur within each plant
community and are generally the result of a unique physical and/or biological factor.
Most of the rare, threatened and endangered plants in Lake County occur in microhabitats such as vernal pools and/or serpentine soils.
An urban habitat is present in the vicinity of the area affected by the Downtown
Improvement Plan. Urban habitat areas consist of structures, roads, and parking areas.
The plant diversity in this type of habitat is generally low and is composed of primarily of
ornamental landscaping plants as well as plants commonly found along disturbed field
margins. Wildlife in the area is very limited as food sources are scarce. Wildlife that is
commonly found in these areas is similar to those found in agricultural and disturbed
areas although they are less abundant and are generally passing through rather than
occupying the area.
SPECIAL STATUS SPECIES
A search of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) revealed that the Boggs
Lake hedge-hyssop is located in the vicinity of the City of Lakeport. However, this plant
is not located in the vicinity of the project area due to the areas urban habitat
characteristics.
Plants
Plants that are documented in the CNNDB in the regional vicinity of Lakeport include:
bristly sedge (Carex comosa), Norris's beard-moss (Didymodon norrisii), and glandular

ER 06-01 / City of Lakeport


Downtown Improvement Plan

Amended Initial Environmental Study

ATTACHMENT 1

western flax (Hesperolinon adenophyllum). None of these plant species are presumed
to be located within the project area due to the surrounding urban habitat.
Animals
Animals that are documented in the CNNDB as located in the regional vicinity of
Lakeport include: tricolored blackbird (Agelaius tricolor), northwestern pond turtle
(Clemmys marmorata marmorata), double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus),
and foothill yellow-legged frog (Rana boylii). None of these animal species are
presumed to be located within the project area due to the surrounding urban habitat.
Nesting raptors/active raptor nests
Nesting raptors (predatory birds) and active raptor nests (i.e., nests in which raptors are
breeding or raising young) are protected by the California Fish and Game Code
Section 3503.5 and the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Nest trees are typically
located in open woodland habitats, including riparian woodland and oak woodland.
Some large trees are located in the project area which may be capable of supporting
raptor nests; however no large trees are slated for removal as part of the Downtown
Improvement Plan project.
Plant Communities
Coastal and Valley Freshwater Marsh is a plant community that is listed in the California
Natural Diversity Data Base as a rare plant community. This community generally occurs
in coastal valleys near the mouth of rivers and creeks or around the shoreline or margin
of a lake or pond. An area with this type of plant community requires year-round water
and the dominate plants are composed of tall emergent vegetation. Coastal and
Valley Freshwater Marsh is located in the regional vicinity of Lakeport but not within the
downtown area affected by the Downtown Improvement Plan.
Response IV a), b) : Adoption of the Downtown Improvement Plan Phase II and
development of the proposed improvements will not directly result in any significant
impacts on candidate, sensitive, or special status species recognized by either local,
State, or Federal agencies. Similarly, the project will not have a substantial adverse
effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified by local,
State or Federal authorities. As described above, the project area is within the urban
habitat as it is primarily surrounded by developed parcels and related infrastructure
including streets and sidewalks. There is no impact associated with either of these
issues.
Response IV c): There are no federally-protected wetlands, as defined by Section 404
of the Clean Water Act, within the boundaries of the project area. As such, there will
be no impact on these resources related to the adoption and implementation of the
Plan.
Response IV d): Approval of the Plan and the subsequent development of the
proposed improvements will not directly result in substantial adverse impacts to
movement of native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established
native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery
sites. The sites urban habitat, its lack of any significant vegetation or habitat areas, and
its proximity to high-traffic local streets hinders any notable wildlife movement through
the project area.

Native wildlife nursery sites are known to be present in the vicinity of Library Park and the
landscaped areas adjacent to City Hall. These nursery sites are used on a seasonal
basis by ducks and must not be disturbed while wildlife is present. The work proposed
with Downtown Improvement Plan Phase II would not impact those nursery sites. Staff
has developed a mitigation measure addressing this issue.
As such, no impact is
anticipated.
Response IV e), f): Approval of the proposed Plan and the subsequent development
and construction activities will not directly result in any conflicts with local policies or
ordinances protecting biological resources. There are no native trees within the project
area which are proposed to be removed and thus the proposal will not conflict with the
Citys native tree preservation guidelines. Furthermore, there are no applicable Habitat
Conservation Plans, Natural Community Conservation Plans, or any other local,
regional, or state conservation plans affecting the project area. As such, no impact is
anticipated.

Response V a): Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines discusses historical resources
and indicates that the term historical resources shall include the following:

A resource listed in, or determined to be eligible by the State Historical Resources


Commission, for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (Public Resource
Code SS 5024.1, Title 14 CCR, Section 4850 et seq.).

A resource included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in section


5020.1(k) of the Public Resources Code or identified as significant in an historical resource
survey meeting the requirements section 5024.1(g) of the Public Resources Code, shall
be presumed to be historically or culturally significant. Public agencies must treat any

ER 06-01 / City of Lakeport

16

Amended Initial Environmental Study

ATTACHMENT 1

such resource as significant unless the preponderance of evidence demonstrates that it


is not historically or culturally significant.

Any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead
agency determines to be historically significant or significant in the architectural,
engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or
cultural annals of California may be considered to be an historical resource, provided
the lead agency's determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the
whole record. Generally, a resource shall be considered by the lead agency to be
"historically significant" if the resource meets the criteria for listing on the California
Register of Historical Resources (Pub. Res. Code SS5024.1, Title 14 CCR, Section 4852).

This section of CEQA also includes additional criteria that can be used to determine if a
building, site, area, etc. is a historical resource.
Notice of the proposal was submitted to the California Historical Resources Information
System (CHRIS) at Sonoma State University who indicated that the proposed project
area contains numerous listed historic structures and recommends that a qualified
architectural historian familiar with Lake County history assess the status of the
resource(s) and provide specific project recommendations.
It is important to
emphasize that the improvements associated with the Downtown Improvement Plan
are limited to areas within the public right-of-way. No modifications to any private
improvements, including historic structures, are proposed. As such, the adoption and
implementation of the Downtown Improvement Plan will not result in any substantial
adverse changes to any historical resources located within the project area.
No improvements listed on the California Register of Historical Resources or the Citys
local register of historical resources will be affected by adoption and implementation of
the Downtown Improvement Plan. Although no impact is anticipated, staff has
developed a mitigation measure calling for the City and/or its contractors to ensure
that no damage is done to any of the historic buildings in the project area in
conjunction with the proposed construction activities.
Response V b), c), d): The response from the CHRIS at Sonoma State University
indicated that the proposed project area has the possibility of containing unrecorded
archaeological sites. A study is recommended prior to commencement of project
activities. The agency also recommended that the City contact the local Native
American tribes regarding traditional, cultural and religious values.
City staff, after reviewing the scope of the project and the boundaries of the project
area, determined a majority of the work proposed would include removal and
replacing existing street and sidewalks, and would not include any significant
excavation. However, there would be some excavation associated with digging up
existing utility lines and replacing utilities along Main Street. Staff has met with tribal
representatives from the Big Valley Rancheria and Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Tribes
discussing the proposed project. The City of Lakeport will develop an agreement with
the tribes that includes a tribal monitor on site during excavation of areas for new utility
connections that will involve the disturbance of areas not previously excavated as part
of past development activities. The agreement would include procedures if historical
resources or archeological resources are identified during any excavation. There does

not appear to be much opportunity for any human remains to be impacted, given the
fact that the proposed improvements will be located in areas that have been
previously excavated and disturbed in conjunction with the construction of the existing
streets, sidewalks, etc. However, the mitigation measures has added requirements in
case human remains are found onsite. It should be noted that during previous
construction activities related to the installation of the downtown decorative
streetlights, some historic resources were uncovered such as horse shoes, old coins and
other miscellaneous antiquities. Given that the CHRIS agency has suggested an
archeological study and the fact that historic resources have been previously
unearthed in the downtown area, staff has recommended a mitigation measure if any
notable cultural or archeological resources are encountered during the excavation or
construction phases of the project. This potential impact is considered less than
significant with mitigation incorporation.
See conclusion of report for recommended mitigation measures.

Response VI a.i): The 2001 Fault-Rupture Hazard Zones maps prepared by the California
Geological Survey for the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act identifies AlquistPriolo zones in the northern and southern sections of Lake County, but none in the City
of Lakeport.
Active faults, defined as those for which there is evidence of activity during the last
11,000 years, or Holocene time, in the area include the Mayacama, about seven miles
southeast of Lakeport, and the Konocti Bay, nine miles to the east. The Healdsburg and
San Andreas faults lie 24 and 35 miles to the southwest. Faults near Lakeport,
categorized as potentially active, include the Collayomi, nine miles southwest; the
Barlett Springs, approximately 20 miles east; and the Big Valley, running along the west
shore of Clear Lake. Immediately east of the City, between the City limits and Clear
Lake, there is a potentially active rupture zone. Potentially active rupture zones are
faults which have been active in the past 2,000 years. Little is known about this
shoreline fault rupture zone, however, it represents a potential significant hazard and
must be taken into consideration when development occurs in the vicinity.
Numerous minor faults exist within the county, designated potentially active, which
could cause ground rupture, failure and shaking.
The project area is in close proximity to the potentially active fault rupture zone along
the Clear Lake shoreline. However, potential seismic-related impacts associated with
the construction of various street and sidewalk improvements and other related
improvements are considered to be less than significant.
Response VI a.ii-iv): Despite the fact that no damaging earthquakes have occurred on
faults within Lake County during the past 200 years, the California Geological Survey
has classified the area as Seismic Zone 4, indicating that it is a highly active
earthquake area with potential for significant events. Seismic Zones are classified on a
scale from one to four; Seismic Zone 4 indicates that the area has a one in ten chance
that an earthquake with an active peak acceleration level of 0.04 g (4/10 the
acceleration of gravity) will occur within the next 50 years. Direct effects of seismic
activity include the shifting and rupturing of ground along a fault and ground shaking.
Ground shaking can cause indirect effects including landslides, subsidence and
differential settlement, and liquefaction.
The project area has a slightly varied topography that is generally characterized by
moderate slopes descending from west to east. Generally speaking, the Main Street
corridor is relatively flat while the east/west side streets (First, Second, Third and Fourth
Streets) slope downward toward the east.

Regarding seismic issues and potential for strong seismic ground shaking, seismicrelated ground failure including liquefaction, and/or landslides, the project area is
obviously located in a seismically active region. Liquefaction and landslide potential
are not significant concerns due to the scope of the project and the fact that no large
structures are proposed to be constructed as part of the Downtown Improvement Plan.
These potential impacts are considered to be less than significant.
Response VI b): Based on a review of the proposed Downtown Improvement Plan
Phase II and the physical characteristics of the project area, there is no indication that
the development of the proposed improvements will result in substantial soil erosion or
the loss of topsoil. Very little, if any, existing topsoil will be affected by the project as the
improvements are generally intended to replace existing streets, sidewalks and other
related features.
It is important to note that erosion control measures will be required during the
construction and post-construction periods due to storm water mitigation requirements.
The project is subject to the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) and the Lake County Clean Water Program Storm Water Management
Plan. Projects involving sites larger than one acre are required to comply with the
Phase II NPDES requirements. Staff has recommended a mitigation measure calling for
the submittal of an erosion control plan in conjunction with the construction plans.
Potential impacts related to substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil are considered
to be less than significant with mitigation incorporation.
Response VI c), d): According to the survey conducted by the Soil Conservation
Service, Wappo loam (2 to 8 percent slopes) is present throughout the project area.
This is a very deep, moderately well drained soil usually found on terraces. Permeability
of this Wappo soil is very slow, surface runoff is medium, and the hazard of erosion is
moderate. The main limitations in terms of development are the slow permeability, high
shrink-swell potential in the subsoil, and low load bearing capacity. The survey states
the shrink-swell potential and low load bearing capacity of the soil should be
considered when designing and constructing foundations, concrete structures and
paved areas.
The soil survey identifies the areas native soils. However, the original topography and
the original soil composition throughout the project area have been modified by past
grading and construction activities. It is difficult to analyze the potential geologic
impacts associated with the construction of the proposed improvements. However, it is
important that the construction plans take into account the potential geologic-related
impacts related to erosion, unstable soil conditions, lateral spreading, subsidence and
expansive soils. Staff has developed a mitigation measure calling for the preparation of
construction plans which adequately address these issues. These potential geologic
issues are considered less than significant with mitigation incorporation.
Response VI e): Adequacy of the soils within the project area to support septic tanks or
other alternative waste water disposal systems is not applicable as the Citys sewer
system serves the improvements within the project area. There is no impact.
See conclusion of report for recommended mitigation measures.

Response VIII a): Adoption and implementation of the Downtown Improvement Plan
will not result in activities which would involve the transportation, use, and storage of
hazardous materials. No hazardous materials will be necessary in conjunction with the
proposed construction activities. As such, there will be no impact.
Response VIII b): Construction of the improvements associated with the Downtown
Improvement Plan will not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment
through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions related to the release
of hazardous materials into the environment. As noted above, no hazardous materials
are expected to be used in conjunction with the construction activities. There is no
impact.
Response VIII c): The nearest school is a private elementary school located at the
Lakeport Christian Center on South Forbes Street which is approximately 800 feet (less
than one-quarter of a mile) southwest of the south boundary of the project area.
However, as discussed in Responses VII a.) and b.), no hazardous materials are
expected to be used in conjunction with the construction of the proposed
improvements. There is no impact.

the National Priority List, or the Department of Toxic Substances Control Cortese List.
There is no impact.
Response VIII e), f): The project area is not located within an airport land use plan or
within two miles of an airport or public use airport which would result in a safety hazard
for people residing or working in the project area. The project area is not in the vicinity
of a private airstrip which would result in a safety hazard for people working or residing
in the project area. There is no impact.
Response VIII g):
The Downtown Improvement Plan Phase II and subsequent
construction of the proposed improvements will not directly interfere with an adopted
emergency response plan or emergency response system. No comments were
received from the Lakeport County Fire District or the City Police Department indicating
any concerns regarding the ability to respond to an emergency in the project area.
There is no impact.
Response VIII h):
The proposed improvements associated with the Downtown
Improvement Plan Phase II do not have the potential to expose people or structures to
a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires including where wildlands
are adjacent to urbanized areas. The project area is within the downtown core of the
City and there are no wildlands in close proximity. Fire hydrants are present in numerous
locations throughout the project area. No impact is anticipated.

Response IX a): As discussed in the Geology/Soils section of this report, the construction
activities related to the Downtown Improvement Plan Phase II are subject to the
requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and the
Lake County Clean Water Program Storm Water Management Plan. In addition to the
mitigation measure calling for the submittal of an erosion control plan, staff has
suggested mitigation measure requiring compliance with the Lake County Clean Water
Program Storm Water Management Plan and the NPDES Phase II requirements of the
California Water Resources Control Board. Potential impacts related to violations of
water quality standards or waste discharge requirements are considered to be less than
significant with mitigation incorporation.
Response IX b) f): There are no components of the Downtown Improvement Plan
Phase II that will substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with
ER 06-01 / City of Lakeport

Amended Initial Environmental Study

ATTACHMENT 1

groundwater recharge. The street and sidewalk enhancements and other related
project components will not result in any changes/modifications to the Citys water
system beyond the minor irrigation facilities that will be provided to the hanging
landscape planters that will be attached to the new decorative lights.
Similarly, the adoption and implementation of the Downtown Improvement Plan Phase
II will not result in significant changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, and/or the
rate and amount of surface water runoff generated in the project area. The majority of
the proposed construction activities will affect areas that are currently developed with
impervious surfaces. Given that the project generally affects existing developed areas,
the proposed streetscape improvements will not substantially deplete groundwater
supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge.
Existing storm drainage along the Main Street public right-of-way would remain the
same with connectivity to the existing storm drain systems at First, Second, Third and
Fourth Street with the construction of the proposed street improvements. The new
improvements do not create any increase in drainage problems. Given the scope of
the project and the types of proposed improvements, potential modifications to
existing storm drainage facilities or the construction of new facilities in conjunction with
the proposed project are not expected to detrimentally affect the capacity of the
existing stormwater drainage system or provide substantial additional sources of
polluted runoff.
Staff reviewed the Citys Storm Drainage Master Plan which identifies no storm drain
facilities are proposed within the boundaries of the project area.
There is no impact associated with these issues.
Response IX g) - j): City map data indicates the project area is not within a 100-year
flood hazard area. The project is limited to new and enhanced sidewalk and
streetscape improvements, no new flood-related hazards or impacts are anticipated in
conjunction with this project. New housing will not be constructed within the flood
hazard area nor will any structures be constructed which could impede or redirect
flood flows. Furthermore, approval of the project will not expose people or structures to
a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding or by inundation by seiche,
tsunami or mudflow. No impact is anticipated.

Response X a) - c): The majority of the project area is designated Central Business
District according to the City of Lakeport General Plan Land Use Map. The block
occupied by the Lake County Museum (Courthouse Square) is designated Parkland.
The entire project area is zoned CB Central Business District according to the City Zoning
Map.
As previously described, the project area encompasses the historic commercial core of
the City and contains a mix of commercial, office, institutional, governmental, and park
uses.
It is important to note that the Community Design Element of the Citys General Plan
includes a section regarding the Citys downtown district and references the Downtown
Master Plan that was originally adopted by the City in 1989. The stated goals of this
section of the Community Design Element include:

Increase property values though construction of new commercial and multifamily


residential development and renovation of existing structures;

Provide facilities and amenities for the Downtown District that encourage
pedestrian movement and special events;

Preserve and enhance historic buildings and sites;

Retain Lakeports small town character while accommodating growth; and

Improve retail sales volume of downtown businesses

The Community Design Element contains numerous urban design policies which
address the following issues:

Maintaining downtowns unique character

Improving Pedestrian Circulation

Landscaping, hardscaping and lighting

Parking

Many of the proposed improvements set forth in the Downtown Improvement Plan
Phase II are consistent with the goals and policies set forth in the Community Design
Element, including wider sidewalks, street trees, decorative lighting, street furniture, and
special paving patterns. The proposed improvements are intended to enhance
pedestrian movements in the downtown area and will all be designed with a common
theme and design approach.
There is no indication that the implementation of the Downtown Improvement Plan
Phase II will physically divide an established community or conflict with applicable land
use plans, policies, or regulations of agencies with jurisdiction over the project area.
There are no applicable habitat conservation plans or natural community conservation

the project vicinity above levels


existing without the project?
e) For a project located within an
airport land use plan or, where such
a plan has not been adopted, within
two miles of a public airport or public
use airport, would the project expose
people residing or working in the
project area to excessive noise
levels?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a
private airstrip, would the project
expose people residing or working in
the project area to excessive noise
levels?

Response XII a): Adoption of the Downtown Improvement Plan Phase II and the
subsequent development of the proposed improvements will not permanently increase
the existing noise levels within the project area which are relatively high given the
volume of automobile traffic on Main and Forbes Streets and areas commercial
development. The hours of operation for the streetscape improvements between the
hours of 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM has a potential for exposure of persons to noise levels in
excess of standards established in the Lakeport General Plan or the applicable
standards of other agencies. Excessive noise in commercially-zoned areas is defined in
Section 17.28.010 of the Municipal Code as noise or other sound emissions which
exceed 70 dBA for any 15-minute period in any one-hour period during the hours of 7:00
AM to 10:00 PM. The allowable noise level from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM decreases to 55
dBA during the evening and early morning hours. The project would be required to use
noisier tools and equipment, such as jackhammers and mounted impact hammers
(Hoe rams) between the hours of 6:00 PM to 10:00PM. The noise associated with the
majority of the power equipment and tools sound emission ranges between 70 to 95
dBA at 50-feet which exceeds the city noise standards. The noise generation at night in
the downtown area would have little impact on the downtown commercial area, since
a majority of the businesses are closed. However, the noise generated at night may
have an impact on the residential uses in close proximity to the downtown. Staff
measured the distance from the downtown improvements and the residential homes
which range from 200 to 500 feet. At a distance of 200 to 500 feet the sound levels are
reduced by 10 to 20 dBA, respectively.
The downtown area along Main Street is lined with two-story structures. Testing
performed by staff determined the noise levels were reduced by 15 to 25 dBA with the
screening associated with the two story buildings along Main Street. The only opening
along Main Street is located at the park in front of the three-story county building, which
also creates screening for neighborhoods further west. The improvements would take
place over a four month period, with the higher ambient noise level operations taking
place in the first three months. With the distance of the residences from Main Street, as
well as the noise dampening by the two story buildings along Main Street, the noise
impacts would be consistent with Section 17.28.010 of the Municipal Code as noise or
other sound emissions. The project requires a representative take noise measurements

throughout the night, to evaluate noise generated by the project and make
appropriate modifications to reduce those noise impacts. In addition, the residents in
the area would be provided the contact number for the representative for the project,
if noise impacts are excessive.
The proposed project Potential impacts related to
exceeding noise standards are considered to be less than significant with mitigation
incorporation.
Response XII b):
As stated above, construction activities associated with the
Downtown Improvement Plan Phase II would have the potential to expose persons to,
or cause generation of a substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise
levels in the project vicinity. The four months the construction takes place could have a
potential of exceeding the citys noise standards.
Response XII c): The improvements associated with this project would not create
permanent increase in ambient noise levels or excessive long-term ground-borne
vibration or ground-borne noise levels.
There is no impact associated with these
potential issues.
Response XII d): The temporary construction activities associated with the Downtown
Improvement Plan Phase II (four month period, with the higher ambient noise level
operations taking place in the first three months) have the potential to create a
substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity
above levels existing without the project. In particular, the demolition of existing
concrete curbing and sidewalk has the potential to create high noise levels. The intent
of the work taking place at night is to reduce the noise impacts on the downtown
businesses, when a majority of those businesses are closed. All construction activities will
be subject to the noise guidelines set forth in Chapter 17.28 of the Lakeport Municipal
Code, that would require those higher noise levels associated with construction
activities take place between the hours of 6:00 PM and 10:00 PM, while quieter work
activities take place after 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. This potential impact is considered less
than significant with mitigation incorporation.
Response XII e), f): The subject property is not located within an airport land use plan or
in the vicinity of a private airstrip which would generate substantial noise impacts.
There is no impact.
See conclusion of report for recommended mitigation measure.

b) Displace substantial numbers of
existing housing, necessitating the
construction of replacement housing
elsewhere?
c) Displace substantial numbers of
people, necessitating the
construction of replacement housing

Response XIII a) - c): The proposed Downtown Improvement Plan Phase II project is
limited to the enhancement and improvement of existing streetscapes in the
downtown area. Adoption and implementation of the plan will not induce substantial
growth in the Lakeport area, either directly or indirectly; displace any existing housing;
or displace any residents in a manner that would necessitate the construction of
replacement housing. As such, there is no impact related to population or housing
issues.
XIV. PUBLIC SERVICES:
Potentially

Impact

a) Would the project result in substantial


adverse physical impacts associated
with the provision of new or
physically altered governmental
facilities, need for new or physically

Response XVI a), b):


The proposed improvements set forth in the Downtown
Improvement Plan Phase II are limited to the replacement and enhancement of
existing streetscape improvements such as sidewalks, street paving, street lights and
street furniture. As such, there is no indication that the improvements will result in a net
increase in traffic in the project area. Many of the improvements are intended to
enhance pedestrian facilities and as such there may be a reduction in the number of
vehicles using the streets in the project area. Because no traffic increase is anticipated,
the existing levels of service for the affected streets within the project area will not be
impacted.
No impact has been identified related to the increase in vehicle traffic.
Response XVI c): There are no components of the project that will result in a change in
air traffic patterns including either the volume or the location of air traffic in the vicinity
of the project area. No impact is anticipated.
Response XVI d): There are no design features of the Downtown Improvement Plan
Phase II which have the potential to increase traffic related hazards nor are there any
proposed land uses which are considered incompatible and thus capable of increasing
traffic related hazards. There will be no impact related to these issues.
Response XVI e): The demolition and reconstruction of existing sidewalks and streets in
the downtown area has the potential to temporarily impact emergency access to the
adjoining storefronts. However, with the construction taking place at night, while a
majority of the businesses are closed, reducing the potential demand for emergency

access. During the four months of construction, Forbes Street would represent the
primary access for all north and south traffic flows and emergency access. However,
with all the construction taking place at night, those roads would remain open during
the day. The impacts would be minimal, but during construction (plans) will need to
address maintaining traffic and pedestrian safety as some of the major concerns.
A mitigation measure calling for the preparation of a pedestrian safety plan has been
developed. This mitigation measure also calls for the provision of temporary business
identification signage to alert the public that businesses/offices will remain open during
the construction periods.
This potential temporary impact is considered to be less than significant with mitigation
incorporation. There will be no long-term emergency access problems related to the
proposed streetscape improvements.
Response XVI f): Adoption and implementation of the Downtown Improvement Plan
Phase II will not result in the need for any new parking facilities or significantly impact
existing public parking facilities within the project area. As such, there is no impact
related to parking issues.
Response XVI g): Staff has reviewed the Circulation Element of the Citys General Plan
and there are no components of the project which conflict with adopted policies,
plans or programs supporting alternative transportation. There is no impact.
See conclusion of report for recommended mitigation measures.

Response XVII a) - b): Construction of the proposed streetscape improvements will not
impact the Citys wastewater treatment facilities or water production facilities. There
will be no need to expand existing water or sewer facilities or construct new facilities.
There is no impact related to these issues.
Response XVII c): As discussed in the Hydrology section of this report, the existing storm
drainage facilities would remain and provide connectivity to the public right-of-way
(curb inlets, drainage lines, etc.) with the proposed streetscape improvements. Any
proposed changes are expected to be minor. As such, the related construction
activities will not cause any significant environmental effects. This issue is deemed to be
a less than significant impact.
Response XVII d) - e): As described above in Section XVI a)-b), the construction of the
proposed improvements will not impact the Citys sewer or water systems. The project
includes replacing the sewer and water service lines along Main Street. All new
connections to the Citys water system will be in accordance with required State
regulations. The Citys water supply will not be affected nor will its sewer treatment
capacity. There is no impact related to these issues.
Response XVII f) - g): Approval and implementation of the Downtown Improvement
Plan Phase II will not result in an increase in solid waste disposal needs. There is no
indication that the proposed improvements will result in a notable increase in the
generation of solid waste in the project area. No impact is anticipated.

sustaining levels, threaten to


eliminate a plant or animal
community, substantially reduce the
number or restrict the range of an
endangered, rare or threatened
species; or eliminate important
examples of the major periods of
California history or prehistory?
b) Does the project have the potential
to achieve short-term environmental
goals to the disadvantage of longterm environmental goals?
c) Does the project have impacts that
are individually limited, but
cumulatively considerable?
("Cumulatively considerable" means
that the incremental effects of an
individual project are significant
when viewed in connection with the
effects of past projects, the effects of
other current projects, and the
effects of probable future projects)?
d) Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?

Response XVIII a): Based on the findings set forth in this Initial Study, some components
of the Downtown Improvement Plan Phase II have the potential to adversely impact
the environment unless mitigation measures are incorporated into the project approval.
The potentially significant effects identified herein are related to air quality, cultural
resources, geology/soils, hydrology and water quality, noise, and transportation/traffic.
Staff has developed/recommended mitigation measures that will reduce the impacts
to a less than significant level. The potential environmental impacts identified in the
Initial Study are less-than-significant with mitigation incorporation.
Response XVIII b) - d): The Initial Study has determined that the adoption and
implementation of the Downtown Improvement Plan Phase II does not have the
potential to achieve short-term environmental goals to the disadvantage of long-term
environmental goals; does not feature impacts that are individually limited but
cumulatively considerable; and will not result in any environmental effects which will
cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. There is
no impact related to these issues.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: As outlined in the Initial Study, the adoption of
the Downtown Improvement Plan and the subsequent construction activities have the
potential to significantly impact the environment unless mitigation measures are
incorporated into the project approval. The potentially significant effects will be
mitigated to a less than significant level provided the recommended mitigation
measures are implemented by the City and/or its contractors. The status of all required

prepare a mitigation plan. If human remains are encountered, construction shall
be halted, and the County Coroner shall be contacted. If the remains are
determined to be Native American, the Coroner will contact the Native American
Heritage Commission who will then identify the person or persons believed to be
the most likely descendants from the deceased Native American. The most likely
descendant then makes a recommendation regarding the treatment of the
remains with appropriate dignity. (Cultural Resources)

WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/AGENCY/BOARD:


The Council is being asked to approve an application from the Lakeport Main Street Association (LMSA)
for a new event this year: a St. Patricks Day Parade to be held Saturday, March 12, 2016.
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:
The LMSA has submitted an application for the parade to be held on Main Street from Seventh Street to
Armstrong, and back to Seventh Street. They are requesting that Main Street be closed between Seventh
and Armstrong Streets on Saturday March 12, 2016, between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
Public Works Superintendent Grider and Police Chief Rasmussen met with the Lakeport Main Street
Association on February 19 to discuss their concerns with this new event.
The LMSA does not currently know how many parade entries they will receive, as the application period for
parade participants closes on March 7th. There is another meeting set with the LMSA for March 8th to
determine the better of two proposed options for the event, dependent on the number of parade entries.
If there are limited entries staff recommends asking that the event be transitioned to a sidewalk or other
non-street event that will not require Police and Public Works staff assistance for a street closure.
If parade takes place, staff advises that the route will need to end at First Street and either turn around and
go back to the starting point at the old Natural High School, or disperse by going east on First Street.
OPTIONS:
Approve Application No. 2016-004 for the LMSAs St. Patrick Days Parade incorporating the requirements
requested by staff, dependent upon the number of entries received.
Give staff direction.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
$190.00 for Police (Two officers for 1 hour at $68.00 per hour and two volunteers for 1
hour at $27.00 per hour.) The call-out rate for a Public Works employee would be $85.92 ($42.96/hr with a
minimum of 2 hours pay for call-out)
Account Number:
SUGGESTED MOTION:
Move to approve Application No. 2016-004 for the LMSAs St. Patrick Days Parade incorporating the
requirements requested by staff, dependent upon the number of entries received.

RE: Professional Services Agreement with Polestar Computers, IT
Support Services
SUBMITTED BY:

PURPOSE OF REPORT:

Discussion

Action Item

WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:


The City Council is asked to approve and authorize the City Manager to sign a professional services agreement
(PSA) with Polestar Computers of Kelseyville for the provision of IT support services.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City has utilized Polestar Computers for its IT support services for several years and has come to rely on
their expertise and technical ability to appropriately maintain, enhance, and troubleshoot its proprietary
network, including the Citys use of Microsoft Exchange.
The City has been utilizing Polestar without a PSA since July, effectively continuing the former agreement. Staff
requests the City Council renew the Citys arrangement with Polestar, retroactive to July 1, 2015, using the most
recent PSA boilerplate from the City Attorney under the most recent procurement ordinance, adopted by
council over a year ago.
Staff inquired informally with the County of Lake for similar services and received comparable prices; however,
given the familiarity Polestar has with the Citys systems, continuing the relationship with them would be both
more cost effective and reasonable.
The contract provides for six hours weekly of general IT services during normal business hours but gives
flexibility to meet unexpected issues requiring additional regular time or time beyond normal hours.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to sign the attached PSA with Polestar Computers.
2. Do not approve but provide directions to staff.
FISCAL IMPACT:
