STAFF REPORT
RE: Unaudited Actual Report MEETING DATE: 9/17/2019
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The accounting for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 is substantially closed. We will be submitting balances to
the auditors and will start the process of preparing the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) which
can sometimes result in adjustments to balances for financial statement presentation purposes. Staff is
providing this information as an update to the status of the revenues and expenditures for the year ended June
30, 2019.
Attachments to this staff report include summarized unaudited financial statements for the general fund, water
operating and maintenance fund and the sewer operating and maintenance fund. The presentation in which the
statements are prepared is a familiar format. The format is similar to how the annual budget and quarterly
statements are prepared. The schedule includes a detailed reconciliation of the various components of net
position that adjust the amounts presented, in the 17/18 audited financial statements, in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), to the amounts of current resources available for
appropriations or the method that has been historically used for budgeting purposes.
In accordance with GAAP financial statements in the CAFR are presented in two distinctly different ways, the
governmental fund financial statements and government wide and enterprise fund financial statements.
Governmental fund financial statements present balances using current financial resources measurement focus
which emphasis the current available spendable resources available for appropriation. This method of
accounting is known as modified accrual. Government wide and enterprise fund financial statements are
presented on a flow of economic resources method which reports all assets and liabilities whether current or
long term. This method is also referred to as accrual accounting and is similar to the type of presentation that is
used in private industry. For budgeting purposes, the modified accrual method is used and this is common
practice among governmental agencies. The purpose of the additional section reconciling the components of net
position is an attempt to reconcile these two methods of accounting so that all relevant information is provided.
This schedule provides balances and concentration percentages of the City-wide cash and investment balances
as of June 30, 2019:
OPTIONS:
1. Review and file the Unaudited Actual Financial Update.
2. Do not review and file but provide direction to staff.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Resolution of the City Council of the City of Lakeport Establishing MEETING 09/17/2019
an Underground Utility District Under Chapter 13.16 of the DATE:
Lakeport Municipal Code
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The attached Resolution 2726 (2019) of the Lakeport City Council declaring its intent to form an underground
utility district along Eleventh Street and North Main Street and setting a public hearing on the formation of such
underground utility district was adopted by the Council at the August 13, 2019 special meeting of the City
Council.
Under California Public Utility Commission Rule 20A, utilities – including PG&E – are required to allocate a
certain amount of monetary credits to each community (cities and unincorporated areas of counties) within
their service area. Communities can then use these “Rule 20A work credits” to pay for the conversion of
overhead electric infrastructure to underground infrastructure. Communities may also borrow up to five years
of future work credit allocations to put towards an existing project. To begin a Rule 20A project, communities
must first form an “underground utility district” which defines the scope of the undergrounding to be
completed.
The City has conserved its Rule 20A work credits for many years, understanding that the credits are vital to the
City’s ability to perform undergrounding work. On April 25, 2019, the City of Lakeport had accrued $987,645 in
Rule 20A work credits, including $27,629 in 2019. However, on that date, the California Public Utilities
Commission issued a ruling allocating a percentage of numerous “inactive” communities’ Rule 20A work credits
to a proposed underground utility district in the City of Live Oak. The ruling proposed transfer of $5,028 of
Lakeport’s credits to Live Oak unless Lakeport formed an underground utility district by July 25. The City
received notice of this decision on May 2.
Under Lakeport Municipal Code section 13.16.030, the City can designate an underground utility district by
resolution if it “finds that the public necessity, health or welfare requires such removal and such underground
installation” within the area. A project qualifies for Rule 20A work credits if it meets one or more of the
following criteria:
OPTIONS:
1. The City Council can adopt the proposed resolution.
2. The City Council can provide other direction.

Comments:
SUGGESTED MOTIONS:
Move to adopt a resolution forming the Eleventh Street and North Main Street Underground Utility District.
WHEREAS, pursuant to certain criteria, CPUC rules allow participating cities and
counties to establish legislation authorizing the creation of underground utility districts
within which existing overhead electric distribution and telecommunication distribution
and service facilities will be converted to underground;
WHEREAS, the City of Lakeport has adopted chapter 13.16 of the Lakeport
Municipal Code, which authorizes the City Council to designate areas within which all
existing overhead poles, overhead wires and overhead equipment associated with the
distribution of electric power, telecommunication services and cable television should
be removed and replaced with underground wires and facilities;
WHEREAS, the City Manager for the City of Lakeport has consulted with the
affected public utilities and such utilities have agreed that the proposed underground
conversion district, designated the Eleventh Street Underground Utility District and
more particularly described in Exhibit 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference, meets the criteria established by the rules of the CPUC, because:
WHEREAS, each year the City of Lakeport is notified by PG&E regarding the
allocation of work credits for conversion of overhead electric distribution lines and
facilities to underground, known as Rule 20A allocations;
WHEREAS, the City Manager for City of Lakeport has consulted with PG&E and
determined that the City has accumulated Rule 20A work credits or PG&E has agreed
214583.3
that the City may borrow against future credits sufficient to complete the proposed
overhead to underground conversion project;
WHEREAS, the City of Lakeport and the affected utilities have agreed that each
utility shall complete the engineering of their respective portion of the Eleventh Street

STAFF REPORT
RE: Increases in Self-Insured Retention (Deductible) and MEETING DATE: 9/17/2019
Contribution Rates for the REMIF Property Program
Receive an informational item regarding the state of the property insurance market and its impact on City of
Lakeport deductibles and rates.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
At the quarterly meeting held June 20, 2019 and a special meeting held on August 14, 2019, the REMIF Board of
Directors recognized the need to raise both premiums and deductible levels (self-insured retentions) for its
property program in order to ensure a viable fund.
REMIF General Manager, Amy Northam, reported that earlier this calendar year, market experts projected rate
increases up to 15 percent. By the end of June, the market took a nosedive and some carriers raised rates 100
to 400 percent or were cancelling policies all together, particularly in high-risk areas. Most entities saw both
increased premiums of 40 to 70 percent and increased deductibles. REMIF was no exception, with a 40 percent
rate increase and deductible increases that will be explained in this report.
Property insurance carriers were greatly impacted by a series of nationwide catastrophic losses beginning in
2017 with three powerful hurricanes which were quickly followed by devastating wildfires. In 2018, fires broke
again in Redding, Paradise, and Southern California, not to mention the Mendocino Complex Fire. Some
flooding followed in 2019. Additionally, there have been numerous, significant cyber breaches and cyber is
covered in many property policies (including REMIF’s). Therefore, the market is still actively attempting to
recover lost profits. Catastrophic losses are now considered more routine and carriers are adjusting premiums
in response. If there are no catastrophic losses, the market may start to recover in 12-18 months, although it is
anticipated rates will continue to increase. If there are losses, increases in the next year will not be small.
After the June 2019 REMIF Board of Directors meeting, the carrier that provides REMIF’s property coverage
increased REMIF’s deductible to $250,000 for all property losses, $500,000 for wildfire losses and $1,000,000 for
high flood zone areas, much higher than anticipated. To bring some perspective, the deductible was $25K two
years ago!
Insurance pools, such as REMIF, have layers of coverage. There are three basic layers of coverage for the
property program which includes the REMIF member city layer, the REMIF layer, and the excess carrier layer.
In addition to the 40% increase in premiums quoted by the carrier, the higher deductibles had to be funded by
way of contribution increases to the REMIF cities. Otherwise, there would not be sufficient reserves in the
REMIF layer of the property program to fund potential property losses this year. Also, with the High Risk Flood
Zone deductible at $1M, REMIF bound additional gap coverages (from $1M to $100K). The premiums for the
gap coverage will be split among the affected cities.
So what does all this mean to the City? Between the increases in property insurance rates, increased funding to
REMIF for the high deductibles and the purchase of gap coverage, property contributions will land at $42K more
this fiscal year over last year. The city no longer has a $10,000 deductible for all property claims but has instead
a $100,000 deductible for general property claims, a $500,000 deductible for wildfire claims, and a $100,000
deductible for high risk flood zone claims.
During the budgeting process, staff anticipated rate increases and built in additional $50k to the budget to cover
increases and to meet deductibles should the need arise. With funds already built into the budget, there is not
currently a need for a budget adjustment. However, should the city suffer a loss, a budget adjustment would be
necessary to cover the deductible. The historical practice of including deductibles in the operating budget is no
longer fiscally prudent. Tying up appropriations for potential claims no longer makes sense at these elevated
dollar amounts. The finance department will be investigating changes to budget and reserve policies to ensure
the City is remaining fiscally responsible in light of these significant changes. It is also worthy to note that in the
case of a wildfire or flood, the city may be able to apply for state or federal emergency funding.
While deductibles have been affected, it is both important and interesting to observe that coverage has not
been affected. Carriers are not adding exclusions to coverage and are not removing lines of coverage. If there’s
a silver lining in this, it’s that our coverage has remained the same and was not cancelled. Moving forward,
REMIF cities will be actively demonstrating how they are working to mitigate risk and what has been done to
mitigate risks from prior losses in hopes that carriers will continue to provide the coverage.

STAFF REPORT
RE: Lakeport Water Loop Line – Application resolutions for the MEETING DATE: 9/17/2019
application for funding from the Drinking Water State
Revolving Fund.
Consider staff’s recommendation to approve three funding resolutions required as part of the application process
for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund for our proposed loop line project.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City of Lakeport’s water distribution system contains two large dead-end main lines. These are located on
South Main and at the intersection of Parallel Drive at Linda Lane. Connecting (looping) these two mains will
enhance water quality and greatly improve fire flows to the commercial/industrial area along South Main Street.
A looped water main would also promote redundancy in the event of an emergency shutdown that would help
minimize the number of customers affected.
Both of the existing dead-ends are at or near the city limit. As a result, most of the proposed loop line will be
constructed in the County of Lake right of way.
The City contracted with Quincy Engineering in 2018 to design the 3,500’ of 14” pipeline required to connect the
two dead-ends. The design is now complete and plans are ready for construction. The engineer’s estimate to
complete the project is $1,500,000.
The City is now seeking a “loan agreement” noted in the recommendation for funding the project through the
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. One of the requirements of the application is for the City Council to approve
three funding resolutions.
The following draft resolutions are attached for the Council’s consideration:
• Reimbursement Resolution
• Authorizing Resolution
• Pledged Revenues and Fund(s) Resolution
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolutions that are required to continue with the funding
application process. All loan agreements will be brought back to the City Council for consideration and approval.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve the subject resolutions.
2. Provide alternative direction to staff.

STAFF REPORT
RE: John Deere 333G Loader Purchase MEETING DATE: 9/17/2019
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City of Lakeport Public Works Department currently utilizes a 2004 Bobcat Rubber tire loader. It has become
apparent that Public Works needs a new track driven Skid Steer Loader in order to properly maintain the
approximately 400 acres of spray fields located at the City operated Wastewater Treatment Plant. The rugged
terrain and high moisture content of the soil makes it extremely difficult to navigate and accomplish routine
tasks with our current machinery.
Researching some alternatives led us to the John Deere 333G Skid Steer. This piece of equipment will be
outfitted with multiple attachments and will have the ability to perform numerous tasks such as spray field
maintenance, right of way clearing and fire mitigation fuel reductions. While checking references we learned
that the City of St. Helena recently purchased the same piece of equipment for similar use and have been very
pleased with its performance. The requested Loader will also meet all of the current State of California CARB
rules.
Appropriations were approved for this purchase in the current fiscal year budget in the amount of $120,000
from the Sewer budget. Staff worked with PAPE’ MACHINERY, Inc. to secure a government pricing program to
ensure the best possible government pricing for this purchase. The pricing program is through Sourcewell,
formerly NJPA (National Joint Powers Alliance) which uses a bidding process like US Community’s and GSA. The
NJPA Contract Number is 032515-JDC.
OPTIONS:
• Move to authorize the purchases of a John Deere 333G Loader
• Provide alternative direction to staff.

RE: Sewer Replacement Design Project MEETING 09/17/2019
DATE:
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
A Request for Proposals was issued August 1, 2019 for engineering services to design plans for sewer mainline
replacement on Ninth Street, sewer mainline on the Lakeport Unified School District’s property, and a manhole
replacement on Lakeshore Boulevard. Direct solicitations were made to 14 firms and the documents were
posted on the City’s website. There was interest from 2 firms prior to the due date. Proposals were due August
26, 2019, for an advertising period of 3 weeks.
The City received one proposal from LACO Associates. A panel of City staff reviewed the proposal, which lead to
negotiations with the firm regarding key personnel and their cost proposal. City staff feel this firm is qualified
and wish to award LACO Associates a Professional Services Agreement for the project. Staff recommends the
City Council authorize the City Manager to sign the PSA.
OPTIONS:
1. Authorize City Manager to sign PSA for the chosen engineering firm.
2. Do not approve the authorization to sign and provide staff direction.

SUGGESTED MOTIONS:
Move to approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with LACO
Associates for the Sewer Main Replacement Design Project.
LACO Associates (LACO) is pleased to submit the enclosed proposal to provide topographic survey,
civil design, and project management services for sewer main replacements and improvements at
three locations within the City of Lakeport (the City).
The LACO team provides the City with the following benefits:
• Experience working with the City of Lakeport: LACO is currently supporting the City with the
Hartley Street Pedestrian Improvement Project, and we are developing strong working
relationships with City staff.
• Geographic Proximity: the LACO team providing services on this project is based out of our
Ukiah office, limiting travel and lodging costs and allowing us to provide responsive service to
the City.
• In-house Survey Services: LACO’s in-house survey team is integrated with the firm, forgoing the
need for sub-contracting.
• Experienced Project Management: Ms. Holly Cinkutis is a registered Civil/Water-Wastewater
Engineer with experience primarily in the Public Works and Water-Wastewater Sectors. She is
an active member of AWWA and CWEA and has a passion for system designs that are efficient
and practical. She has over 13 years of experience as a designer and project manager for a
multitude of Municipal/Public Works and Water/Wastewater projects such as Bridge and Dam
inspections, stormwater improvements, water system improvements (distribution and
treatment), and wastewater system improvements (collection, conveyance, and treatment),
trenchless technologies, and sewage pump station design. Your technical team will be
rounded out by T. Scott Kelly, PE, a veteran Civil/Water-Wastewater Engineer with over 30
years’ experience who we propose as the Quality Assurance/Quality Control reviewer.
LACO has received the project addenda one and two, dated August 12 and 19, 2019, and commits
to supply the required insurance and sign the professional services agreement enclosed with the RFP.
We look forward to presenting our team, discussing our approach in further detail, and deepening our
relationship with the City of Lakeport. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 707-462-0222 or
cinkutish@lacoassociates.com with any questions or requests for further information.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
1.0 Project Understanding and Approach .........................1
Upon completion of the field survey, LACO’s team will convert field data to 1”:20’ topographic maps as
appropriate for construction and provide the drawings to both the City and to our in-house engineering
design team.
Using topographic data and field verification of appropriate features, LACO’s drafting team will create
roadway profiles as described in the Scope of Work for use with engineering design. These profiles will allow
for a complete picture of the site for construction and city records.
1.2
1.2 Civil Engineering Plans
LACO’s experienced design team will create complete sets of construction plans for each of the three sites,
including details as required in the Scope of Work. Plan and profile drawings for each location (one each for
the School and Lakeshore sites; three for the Ninth Street sites) will be provided, including all sewer system
components and construction details appropriate for each site. City standard details will be included for
appropriate components, such as laterals, manholes, fittings, cleanouts, and sewer service connections.
All plans will conform to the City of Lakeport standards for design and construction. Upon completion of the
topographic mapping for each site, a plan set will be developed for the required improvements. LACO will
provide plan sets at the 50% and 90% design stages for the City’s review, followed by a final design plan set
which is construction ready. The 50% design submittal will include a preliminary cost estimate for the proposed
work, along with plan and profile views of the proposed replacements on the completed surface
topographic survey. The 90% design submittal will consist of a completed set of plans accompanied by a
detailed cost estimate for construction. The final plans will be accompanied by a bid item schedule in
addition to updated plans and cost estimates and will be delivered in electronic formats as requested.
Following a period of review for each set of plans, the LACO team will meet with City engineers to discuss
changes and updates to the plans. Where possible, these review sessions will be coordinated to ensure
optimum use of City time and to minimize travel costs. If desired, some meetings can be held over
teleconference or video conference utilizing LACO’s Zoom.us conference software.
LACO will provide regular updates on project progress to City staff as requested, or at the very least on a
fortnightly basis. LACO has planned an aggressive design process timeline for this project and will ensure the
City is aware of any significant delays (such as, for example, surveying being delayed by inclement weather).
LACO understands that soil characterization may be necessary to design appropriate shoring around the
deep manhole. LACO is capable of providing soil extraction and testing in-house and will provide a separate
estimate for this work if it is deemed necessary.
This project site is very close to Rumsey Bay, and as such, extra care must be taken to avoid contamination
of local waters. Protective construction practices will be prioritized in LACO’s design.
Special considerations for this site include minimizing impact on local traffic and access to homes along Ninth
Street and minimizing disruption of sewer service to residents. These will be priorities when considering
construction methods and design for the site.
The most important feedback from our clients comes during project meetings. Starting with the project
kickoff, LACO will prepare agendas, keep meeting minutes, and provide updates as appropriate. This project
will have a number of moving parts, and the aggressive design schedule will require careful timing and
planning. Submittal meetings are scheduled to occur after each review period, for a total of six meetings
throughout the timeline; however, we understand time limitations and will work with the City to ensure we
maximize productivity. Where possible, we will combine meetings to address multiple submittals at once.
LACO will provide the City with an update every two weeks via email and/or phone call, advising the City of
current activities, milestones, and address any questions which come up between parties.
We propose staggering the design portions for each site to enable a consistent workflow throughout the
project, prioritizing the sites according to the City’s preference stated in Addendum #1.
