The salary range for this classification shall be set at 46 with a bi-weekly salary of $1,740.86-$2,332.91; 2) Sheriff Security Officer to Section 57, reference C of the Salary Ordinance titled, "BCEA-General Unit".

Along with this change the department requests to add the classification of Correctional Deputy Trainee to Section 57j Classification with Flat Rate Assignments of the Salary Ordinance. This position is an unrepresented classification and will have a flat rate of $1,318.25/biweekly. PAGE 6 January 24, 2012 BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA -JANUARY 24, 2012 District Attorney: Concurrent with the request by Human Resources above, the District Attorney's Office is requesting to add one (1) position of Victim Witness Coordinator. The funding for this position was approved at the November 22, 2011 Board meeting with the transfer of the Victim Witness Program to the District Attorney's Office from the Probation Department. The salary range for this position is the same as the Probation Officer III classification that performed these duties when the program was part of the Probation Department. The new position was created for the District Attorney's Office due to the fact that the Probation Officer III classification is specific to the Probation Department. This change will increase the allocations in the department by one (1) and is fully funded with State Victim Witness funding. Sheriff-Coroner: Concurrent with the request by Human Resources above, the Sheriff's Office is requesting to add one (1) Sheriff Security Officer. A transition is underway on providing Court security services. Currently, the Sheriff provides some of the security services using State funds, and the Court provides other security services using their own State allocation. In FY 12-13, all security services will be performed by the Sheriff's Office, to be funded through funds from the Administrative Office of the Court. The Sheriff anticipates providing these services through a combination of the new Sheriff Security Officer position and existing Deputy Sheriff positions, the exact combination yet to be determined. Adding one of the Sheriff Security Officer positions now will allow for a smoother transition. The position will be funded in FY 11-12 by State funding savings created from temporarily holding four Deputy Sheriff positions vacant. Also, concurrent with part of Human Resources request above, the Sheriff's Office is requesting to change all of the Correctional Officer allocations to reflect the new Correctional Deputy title. This title change (no change in salary or duties) will bring the classification title in line with California Penal Code Section 830.1(c). These changes will increase the total allocations in the department by one (1), which will be funded by State funds. Public Health: Concurrent with the request by Human Resources above, the Public Health Department is requesting to add one (1) Animal Control Dispatcher. The department is requesting this addition to address operational needs for the Animal Control Division. The 2009/2010 Grand Jury report recommended the use of a dispatcher to increase officer safety. The addition of this position will allow officers and equipment to be dispatched in a timely, safe and efficient manner to both emergency and non-emergency calls. Funding for this new position is included in the FY 2011-12 approved budget for the department and will be funded by a combination of animal fees, CSA 164 and Public Health Realignment funding, therefore no additional funding is being requested. This change will increase the allocations in the department by one (1) position. PAGE 7 January 24, 2012 BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA -JANUARY 24, 2012 Behavioral Health: Concurrent with part of Human Resources request above, the Behavioral Health Department is requesting to change the allocation of Assistant Behavioral Health Director to Assistant Behavioral Health Director-Clinical Services.

Additionally, the Sheriff's Office utilizes PropertyRoom.com to sell abandoned property in possession of the Sheriff's evidence facility. Proceeds from the auction sales have also been deposited to the Sheriff's Evidence Trust. The Sheriff's Office has never transferred unclaimed funds nor auction proceeds from the Sheriff Evidence trust but discovered the issue and is now addressing the oversight. The one time unclaimed monies fund transfer equates to $47,930.97. The auction proceeds funds equate to $11,385.22. Anew procedure has been implemented so funds will not accumulate in the future but will transfer in a timely manner. The General Fund will realize unanticipated revenue in the amount of $59,316.19. The Sheriff's Office is requesting to utilize these revenues to off-set anticipated revenue shortfalls in the jail thus reducing anticipated revenue in two categories, $29,658 reduction in detention of parolees and $29,658 reduction in SWAP administration fees. These transfers will leave a remaining balance in the Evidence Trust Fund of $3,617.71- action requested -APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT.

In 2011, the DSC released the Fifth Staff Draft Delta Plan and the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR). 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." According to the Delta Reform Act, the Delta Plan was limited to address defined "covered actions" that will "occur, in whole or part, within the boundaries of the Delta or Suisan Marsh." The Draft Delta Plan includes vague language and specific policies that could lead to having the northern Delta watershed responsible for providing increase flows to the Delta. Enforceable actions outside of the Delta are not authorized by the statute. The DEIR does not address or analyze any potential impacts to the northern Delta watershed. The lack of clarity of the Draft Delta Plan and the inadequacy of the DEIR raises significant concerns for the region including socioeconomic impacts. Comments on the DEIR are due by February 2, 2012. On January 4, 2012, the Water Commission recommended that the Board of Supervisors submit the comment letter to the DSC -action requested -APPROVE LETTER AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Water and Resource Conservation) PAGE 12 January 24, 2012 BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA -JANUARY 24, 2012 4.04* Authorization to Advertise for Bids to Construct a Left Turn Pocket on Lincoln Boulevard at Myers Street -The County was awarded a Highway Safety Improvement Project grant for Lincoln Boulevard between Arnold Avenue and Elgin Street due to the very high number of accidents along this corridor. The Lincoln Boulevard safety median project included installing a continuous raised median on Lincoln Boulevard at the intersection of Myers Street. The Lincoln Boulevard median was installed across this intersection to prevent vehicles on Myers Street from turning left onto Lincoln Boulevard which was determined to be unsafe due to the hill on Lincoln Boulevard that restricts safe sight distance for this movement. Due to complaints about access from Lincoln Boulevard to Myers street, staff reviewed several options and determined a left turn pocket on southbound Lincoln Boulevard at Myers Street could provide safe access from Lincoln Boulevard onto Myers without compromising the original safety concern regarding the Myers Street traffic turning left onto Lincoln Boulevard -action requested -AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR A PROJECT TO CONSTRUCT A LEFT TURN POCKET ON LINCOLN BOULEVARD AT THE INTERSECTION OF MYERS STREET AND RETURN TO THE BOARD WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR AWARDING THE WORK.
