programs, programming and rehabilitative space for inmates. The County completed a
Request for Proposals back in 2006 and selected Steven Reader Enterprises, partners with
Harris & Harris Enterprises, for a total cost of $85,000. If the Sheriff's Office sought
services from a different contractor, the Sheriff would pay more than $85,000 for a new
needs assessment. The Sheriff's Office submitted a sole source request to General
Services that was approved to allow us to again use Harris & Harris Enterprises. Harris &
Harris Enterprises will update the 2006 Jail Needs Assessment to include all new laws
enacted since the initial report. The total cost is $37,500 (department budget utilizing

3.26* Securus Technologies, Inc. - The Sheriff's Office maintains a contract for telephone
services for inmate use within the jail facility through Securus Technologies. The contract
is set to expire December 10, 2013. The Sheriff's Office recently completed an RFP for
video visitation services and, after reviewing two viable responses, chose Securus to
provide video visitation services. Video visitation will allow inmates to view and speak
with visitors on-line thus reducing the need for friends and family to travel to the jail.
The video visitation system expands jail visiting hours from just weekends to seven days
per week and expands visiting hours each day. Video visitation is less staff intensive than
allowing in-person visitation and more inmates will be able to visit with friends and
family. Video visitation stations will also allow inmates to access commissary ordering,
personal information regarding court dates, release dates and commissary balances,
requests for medical visits and within one year additional inmate services. In collaboration
with General Services, it was determined that in order to simplify inmate services and
contract management, the Securus telephone contract should be amended to include
video visitation services. In order to allow Securus time to capture their initial equipment
installation costs, the Sheriff's Office is requesting to extend the telephone services
contract two additional years to coincide with a three-year service agreement for video
visitation — action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO
SIGN SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND THE AUDITOR-CONTROLLER.
WATER AND 3.27* Drought Task Force Report - In 2004, Butte County adopted the Drought Preparedness
RESOURCE and Mitigation Plan (Resolution 04-200). A key element of the Plan was the creation of
CONSERVATION the Drought Task Force (DTF). The charge of the Drought Task Force is to monitor
hydrologic conditions throughout the water year and report the findings to the Water
Commission and the Board of Supervisors biannually, quarterly, or monthly as needed.
Since no state drought emergency declaration exists and local drought conditions have
subsided, the DTF decided to meeting annually. The DTF met on November 15, 2012 to
review the hydrologic conditions and drought related issues. The DTF reviewed data on
snow-pack, reservoir levels, stream flow, precipitation, climatic conditions; and
groundwater levels. Groundwater conditions rebounded in 2011 due to favorable
hydrologic conditions, but dry conditions in 2012 brought the basin back to 2010
conditions. The DTF discussed the drought declaration issued by the USDA for Butte
County and other counties in July 2012. The DTF decided to hold its meeting annually in
the fall unless circumstances change. The Butte County Water Commission received the
DTF status report at their December 5, 2012 meeting. The DTF Status Report is presented
for informational purposes-action requested-ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION.

3.28* Delta Plan Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (Draft PEIR) - The Delta
Stewardship Council (DSC) is charged through the Delta Reform Act of 2009 to develop
the Delta Plan. The Delta Plan is a strategic document that includes legally enforceable
policies, strategies and actions within the Delta to further advance the "coequal goals of
providing a more reliable water supply for California and protecting, restoring and
enhancing the Delta ecosystem." The Butte County Board of Supervisors submitted
comments on the Draft EIR in 2011 and on various versions of the draft Delta Plan. On
November 30, 2012 the Delta Stewardship Council released the final Delta Plan and a
Recirculated Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR). The Draft PEIR
replaces the Draft EIR that was released in November 2011. The Draft PEIR states an Area
of Known Controversy as "The Delta Plan's applicability to actions upstream of the Delta,
and its impacts on water users there". Actions contemplated by the Delta Plan may
impact Butte County's environment, economy and ecosystem. The Draft PEIR fails to
address groundwater, recreation and socioeconomic impacts to northern Sacramento
Valley. The Department recommends that the Board of Supervisors submit comments
calling for the Delta Plan EIR to address the impacts to Butte County and the region.
Comments on the Draft PEIR are due by January 14, 2013 —action requested —APPROVE
LETTER AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.
3.29* Butte County Water Advisory Committee —Appointments - In September 2011 the Board

advisory capacity under the Butte County Water Commission. Section 33A-4 specifies that
the Board shall consider all nominations to the WAC that reside, own property, or have
their principle place of business within the sub-inventory unit (SIU). At-large members

Roll -On June 5, 2012, voters in the Gridley Unified School District ("District") approved the
issuance of $2,500,000 in bonds for repair and upgrades to school facilities within the
District. The Gridley Unified School District Board of Trustees ("Trustees") is requesting
that the Butte County Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution allowing the District to issue
General Obligation Bonds directly, without the involvement of the Butte County Board of
Supervisors as a conduit issuer, under Government Code 53506-53509.5. The District did
not provide a certified copy of the Trustees Resolution required for the Butte County Board
of Supervisors to take action on the December 11 agenda. There was some confusion and
debate about what the Trustees Resolution set forth regarding the bond issuance and
repayment terms so the matter was continued to the January 8, 2013, agenda. A certified
copy of the Trustees Resolution dated December 17, 2012, has now been provided and is
attached. The Resolution authorizes the issuance of Current Interest Bonds in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2,500,000 with a maturity not to exceed thirty

4.07* Water Resource Management and Protection Project - The Department is proposing to
initiate the first phase of the the Water Resource Management and Protection Project
("Project"). The management and protection of water resources is contingent upon having
adequate baseline scientific information and analytical tools to assess current conditions
and various scenarios. Over a decade ago, Butte County produced a robust suite of water
resource data that accounts for baseline demand, water resource availability and analysis
of changed circumstances. The materials provided the foundation for water resource
management for Butte County. Butte County was able to assess future water demand and
availability to identify economic and ecologic consequences (e.g., groundwater overdraft,
land subsidence, water supply shortages). However, the current baseline and forecast
information are outdated and the ability to assess future water demands or impacts are
insufficient for today's challenges. The lack of adequate data creates uncertainty in the
availability of water resources. Without action to restore Butte County's water resource
management foundation, the County's authority over groundwater management and
water resource sustainability could be in jeopardy. Investing in this Project will develop
the scientific foundation to manage and protect the County's water resources for its
economy, communities and environment. The Department is requesting the Board
approve the initiation of the first phase of the Project which will allow the County to more
formally determine the scope and cost of additional phases and any future budget
implications — action requested - AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
WATER AND RESOURCE CONSERVATION TO PROCEED WITH INITIATING THE PROJECT.

Private Industry Council which was the local service provider for years. The Director of
