The County of Butte provides for indigent defense services by contracting with a consortium of
attorneys who provide a full range of public defender services. The current contracts with the Butte
County Indigent Defense Services consortium expired on December 31, 2014, and Board approval is
requested for amendments to the current agreements that will extend the terms for 3 months (to
3/31/2015) to allow the County and consortium additional time to develop successor contracts. The
previous contract language is being thoroughly reviewed and updated as needed. Additionally, the
old contracts were in a non-standard format for the County, and additional time is needed to
negotiate, revise and conform the agreement language to the County's standard contract template
form. The proposed amendments extend the terms of the agreements for the 15 full-time and 5
part-time attorneys at the same rate of pay, with all other terms and conditions remaining
unchanged - action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AMENDMENTS (20) AND AUTHORIZE THE
CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND THE AUDITOR-CONTROLLER. (Chief

3.07* Resolutions Supporting Reauthorization of SRS and PILT Funding - In December 2014, Congress
approved $450 million in Federal Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILI) funding to local governments for
Federal Fiscal Year 2015. While this was good news, Congress failed to reauthorize PILT funding for
future years. In addition, Congress did not reauthorize the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-
Determination Act of 2000 (SRS) in the closing days of the 113th Congress. However, the new
leadership in the House of Representatives has pledged to reform federal forestry policy in the first
90-days of the 114th Congress, which will likely include some aspect of SRS reauthorization, and
stated that "enacting an extension to the Secure Rural Schools program is going to be an early
priority for next year." Since it is unclear at this time what course of action the U.S. Senate will take
with respect to forestry reform and/or reauthorization of SRS, the Board of Supervisors is requested
to approve resolutions requesting reauthorization of both federal funding sources -action requested

JANUARY 13,2015-BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA PAGE 2 OF 12
3.08* Approval with Butte County Association of Governments to Pay County's Share of Federal
Representation Costs - For over a decade, Butte County has contracted with the Ferguson Group, LLC
to assist with federal representation in Washington, DC. During the same period, the Butte County
Association of Governments (BCAG), of which Butte County is a member, has also used the Ferguson
Group for its federal representation. Since the two agencies often pursue similar federal funding, the
two agencies agreed to have one contract for Federal Fiscal Year 2015 and share the cost of federal
representation instead of paying for two separate contracts, thereby saving money for both
agencies. Approval is requested for an agreement with BCAG to pay the County's share of the
agreement with the Ferguson Group. The County share of the the agreement is 50%, or $60,000,
plus $7,500 for additional work the Ferguson Group will perform for the County in agriculture/flood
protection work for a total of$67,500. The term of the agreement is October 1, 2014 to September
30, 2015 - action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT

3.10* Authorization to Execute a Quit Claim Deed to Remove the County's Reversionary Interest in State
Owned Real Property-On June 6, 1933, the Board of Supervisors by resolution confirmed the sale of
County owned real property identified as a portion of Assessor's parcel number 031-040-015-000;
commonly referred to as Cal Fire Butte Unit-Station 63 -Oroville with a street address of 176 Nelson
Avenue, Oroville, California 95965 to the State of California with the provision that the real property
would revert to the County if it ceased to be used for fire protection purposes. Subsequently, the
Deed with a reversionary clause was recorded on September 15, 1933 in Volume 7, Page 268 of the
Official records of the County of Butte. Now, the State desires to reconstruct Fire Station
Headquarters using State bond financing that requires the land to be free of any deed restrictions
including reversionary clauses. Staff recommends that the Board adopt a resolution to approve the
State's request to release the County's reversionary interest and remove the deed restriction by
authorizing the execution of the Quit Claim Deed to allow the proposed project to move forward —
action requested — 1) ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND 2) AUTHORIZE

State's fee increase of 7.6% from last year's fee schedule was not adopted until after the County's
budgets for the County Service Areas were finalized. The amount of the increased State permit fees
were not anticipated and budgeted, so current appropriations are not sufficient. Requested is a
budget adjustment to use fund balance ($650 for CSA 21 Zone 1 and $515 for CSA 141) to provide

3.17* Agreement Between Public Works and Public Health Departments for Non-infrastructure SRTS Grant
Services -The Public Works Department, with the input of the Public Health Department, applied for
and was awarded a $941,400 Cycle 3 Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Safe Routes to School
(SRTS) grant for the Oakdale Heights Elementary School in the vicinity of Las Plumas and Walmer
Avenues in the South Oroville. The proposed pedestrian safety improvements include extensive new
curb, gutter, sidewalk, tie-in paving, driveways, drainage, ADA access ramps, crosswalks, signing and
striping, and actuated electronic driver feedback and school crossing signage. In addition, the SRTS
grant requires non-infrastructure and evaluation components that were proposed in the amount of
$80,100 for providing multi-year on-site school and neighborhood education, training, travel, safety,
and security plans and programs to supplement and sustain the benefit of the public works
improvements to be installed. Included in that amount are mandatory before and after evaluation
surveys of the utility of the proposed improvements and safety programs to be conducted by Public
Health staff for submittal to the FHWA for their SRTS database. The Public Health Department has
already established a rapport with the school's student body, staff, and parents through a series of
previously ongoing public health and safety programs. The additional program requirements for the
non-infrastructure component of the SRTS grant naturally dovetail into this association such that
each department's goals and responsibilities would be enhanced by allowing the Public Health
Department to administer and oversee the non-infrastructure and evaluation programs of the SRTS
grant. The term of the agreement is from January 13, 2015 to June 30, 2017 — action requested -

3.18* Jail and Juvenile Hall Medical Services Contract - The Sheriff's Office and Probation Department
completed a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Jail and Juvenile Hall inmate/ward medical services. The
RFP resulted in two responses, California Forensics Medical Group (CFMG) and Correct Care
Solutions. Both companies were thoroughly considered by an evaluation panel who studied and
discussed the responses. Although the cost of CFMG is 5% higher, CFMG was selected due to its
extensive experience providing inmate medical services in the State of California and its knowledge
of the unique challenges in providing inmate medical services within this state. The term of the
proposed contract is three years with an option for two additional years. The first twelve-month's
quote to the Sheriff's Office was $3,475,000 and Juvenile Hall is $387,580 but adjusted down for 13
days less service to $3,356,786 and $374,395 respectively. In future years, the annual cost of the
contract is adjusted by the Medical Care Component of the Consumer Price Index for the San
Francisco-Oakland Region, which is the same language in our current contract and customary in the
industry. Due to the annual index being unknown years ahead, the total exact cost of the three-year
contract cannot be determined at this time. In recent history, the index has been adjusted from a
low of 1.1% in 2011 to a high of 5.77% in 2013. The average increase for the last six years was 3.05%
- action requested — APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT TO
REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND THE AUDITOR-CONTROLLER. (Sheriff)
3.19* Ecolab Pest Elimination Contract for Services -The Sheriff's Office utilizes the services of Ecolab for
pest elimination. Eco Lab has consistently served the jail and Sheriff facilities as the requirements to
enter the jail are stringent and cannot be met by all service providers. The Sheriff's Office is
requesting two additional months of service to complete a required Request for Proposal process to
ascertain if any other pest elimination companies can provide the service. Total cost for two
additional months is $1,463 increasing the maximum payable on the contract to $30,569 through
February 28, 2015 - action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN

contract for the acquisition of hardware, software and services from FileOnQ, the company selected
to provide the tracking system for use in the Sheriff's Office Evidence Bureau.The new system allows
for data entry at any computer in the County network as well as system viewing capability for the
District Attorney's Office which we anticipate will greatly reduce the amount of paper and CD
copying currently performed by staff. FileOnQ will conduct data conversion from our current
property tracking system to the new system, install the new software on Sheriff computers, conduct
staff training and provide system maintenance. The term of the contract is three years to include
system maintenance in outlying years. The initial purchase price is $54,000. Annual maintenance is

2. Consent Agenda
2.01* Resolution Designating the In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority as a HIPAA Hybrid Entity -
The Public Authority (PA) and California United Healthcare Workers (CUHW) have agreed to modify
the existing healthcare plan provided for many of the In Home Support Service (IHSS) providers. The
new healthcare plan will meet the individual mandate required under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
The adoption of a plan that is compliant with the individual mandate under the ACA subjects the
IHSS PA to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations in a limited
capacity. IHSS PA business activities include functions covered and not covered by HIPAA, therefore,
the IHSS PA meets the definition of a Hybrid Entity. The Director of the Department of Employment
and Social Services requests that the In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority Board adopt a
resolution designating the IHSS PA as a HIPAA Hybrid Entity—action requested -ADOPT RESOLUTION
