3.05* Budget Adjustment for Bangor Fire Station Debt Service - While preparing for the debt service
payment due to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the Bangor Fire Station on
February 2, 2015, it was discovered that the amount budgeted in FY 2014-15 for debt service is
insufficient by$5,600. An increased transfer from the Capital Projects Fund to the Debt Service Fund
is necessary to make the required payment to USDA — action requested - APPROVE BUDGET
ADJUSTMENT(4/5 vote required). (Chief Administrative Office)
3.06* Budget Adjustment - Assessor Vehicle Replacement -The Assessor received approval to purchase a
new vehicle through the Equipment Replacement Fund as part of the FY 2014-15 budget. Following
adoption of the budget, the cost to purchase the vehicle increased by approximately $2,500.
Although the increase is less than 10% of the original approved amount, there is insufficient
appropriation available. Approval is requested to increase appropriations by$2,500, offset by use of
fund balance in the Equipment Replacement Fund, to complete the purchase of this vehicle—action
requested -APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT(4/5 vote required). (Chief Administrative Office)
3.07* Budget Adjustment and Agreement - Proposition 47 Implementation - On November 4, 2014,
California voters approved Proposition 47, titled "The Safe Neighborhood and Schools Act". The law
reduces the classification of most non-serious and non-violent property and drug crimes from a
felony to a misdemeanor. The law also permits re-sentencing anyone currently serving a prison
sentence for any of these offenses. To date, the Butte County Superior Court has received over 600
petitions for re-sentencing. The Court, along with the criminal justice agencies, has developed a
method by which to process these cases in a timely manner. Each re-sentencing case requires
investigative and legal workup by the prosecution, and a competent legal defense. The District
Attorney and Public Defender cannot absorb the temporary increase in the workload. It is
anticipated that these cases will be resolved by June of 2015. The District Attorney has hired as Extra
Help an experienced retired annuitant prosecutor, and the Public Defender Consortium has brought
on Denver Latimer, a local criminal defense attorney. The District Attorney requests $54,030 in
additional appropriations for the Extra Help costs, and the Public Defender requests approval of a
limited contract with Mr. Latimer from November 5, 2014 through May 2015. The increased cost in
the District Attorney's Office will be offset by a transfer from General Fund Appropriation for
Contingencies. No increase in funding is needed for the additional Public Defender contract—action
requested — 1) APPROVE CONTRACT WITH DENVER LATIMER AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN;
AND 2) APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT TRANSFERRING FUNDS FROM GENERAL FUND
APPROPRIATION FOR CONTINGENCIES(4/5 vote required). (Chief Administrative Office)

3.09* Agreement with Burghardt-Dore Advertising, Inc. for Advertising Services for Foster and Adoptive
Parent Recruitment - Approval is requested to enter into an agreement with Burghardt-Dore
Advertising, Inc., for the provision of advertising services for foster and adoptive parent recruitment.
The Department of Employment and Social Services (DESS) released a request for proposals (RFP),
and Burghardt-Dore Advertising, Inc. best met the criteria under the RFP. The goal of advertising
services for prospective foster and adoptive parents in Butte County is to recruit and retain high
quality caregivers who can provide excellent care to children in foster care. Informative advertising
and outreach services are necessary to give potential foster and adoptive parents information about
the process to become licensed and trained to care for children in foster care. These services are
needed to build a foundation that will assist the County to provide necessary support, training and
education to the community with the goal of increasing the number of quality caregivers for children
in out-of-home care. The term of the agreement is February 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, with a
maximum contract amount of $78,000 (FY 2014-15: $23,000 and FY 2015-16: $55,000) — action

CalWORKs, Welfare-to-Work (WtW), CalFresh, Medi-Cal, Child Care, KinGAP, Adoption Assistance
Program (AAP) and Foster Care programs, and to manage caseloads within these programs.This level
of reporting is not available from the Statewide Automated Welfare System (C-IV) currently in use.
As C-IV is not currently programmed to provide DESS with the reports necessary to effectively
monitor performance and manage workload activities and productivity, DESS has determined the
need to purchase these services from another provider. Exemplar is the only vendor currently
providing these needed services in California. Over the past two years, DESS caseloads have
increased dramatically. Despite these increases, federal and state performance standards have not
been relaxed. Use of Exemplar's reports and services will provide the DESS with the necessary tools
to effectively monitor performance and outcomes. The term of the agreement is February 1, 2015
through January 31, 2017, with a maximum amount of$481,000 ($120,000 FY 2014-15, $228,000 FY
2015-16; $133,000 FY 2016-17) — action requested - APPROVE THE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE

3.18* Capital Asset Appropriation Adjustment - In FY 2013-14, the Probation Department ordered and
purchased a vehicle for the Juvenile Hall. Unfortunately, the vehicle arrived late in the fiscal year, as
well as an accessory requiring Public Works to install. The installation occurred in July, resulting in a
Public Works charge in the new fiscal year. Due to the requirement of costs involved in the initial set
up for a vehicle being charged to a capital asset account, and no appropriations set up in the Juvenile
Hall Vehicle Fund in the current fiscal year, a budget transfer is required. Also, on September 23,
2014 and November 4, 2014, the Board approved two capital asset vehicle purchases for the Title IV-
E Child Welfare Demonstration Project, a joint project between Department of Social Services and
Probation and Youthful Offender Block Grant. After receiving quotes for the vehicles, the low bid
exceeded the anticipated costs. In order to increase appropriations to purchase the vehicles plus
related accessories, and cover anticipated costs from Public Works to set up the vehicles for
department use, Board approval is required — action requested - APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT
(4/5 vote required). (Probation)

larger and more powerful model. The Standard Lab 16 microscope and accessories was purchased in
1990 for$11,871.31.The microscope was replaced with a newer model with better technology. Both
items are no longer needed by the department and, if approved, can be sent to County Surplus —

4.05* Local Streets and Roads Report - The California State Association of Counties (CSAC), League of
California Cities and regional transportation planning agencies recently released the results of the
2014 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment Report
(www.savecaliforniastreets.org). The Statewide Streets and Roads Pavement Condition Index (PCI),
which ranks pavement conditions on a scale of zero (failed) to 100 (excellent) is 66, an "at risk"
rating. Without any new additional funding, by 2020 the PCI is projected to deteriorate from 66 to
54 and the percentage of "failed" streets will grow from 6% to almost 25%. The statewide funding
shortfall over the next 10 years is estimated to be almost$78 billion. The local roads in Butte County
are in similar condition with a PCI of 66 and an estimated 10 year funding shortfall of$658 million.
California's population continues to increase, but motorists are buying less fuel due to vehicle fuel
efficiencies resulting in less gas tax revenue. However, the total miles traveled in the State is still
increasing causing more wear and tear on our roads. Moreover, inflation has seriously eroded the
buying power of California's gas tax dollar. The base 18 cents state excise tax on gasoline which was
last adjusted in 1994 is now only worth 9 cents when adjusted for inflation and fuel efficiency.
Proposition 113 bond funds provided Butte County $10.5 million over a 6 year period (FY 2007-08 to
2013-14). During the same 6 year period, Road Funds also assisted in these road projects with an
additional $6,135,501 for a total of $16,635,850 or approximately $2.77 million spent each year on
pavement maintenance projects. All Prop 113 bond funds are now expended, and the County is now
back to just basic Road Fund sources estimated to be approximately $1 million per year for
pavement maintenance such as chip seals — action requested - ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION. (Public

Ordinance, and Chapter 35. Right-to-Farm Ordinance -A variety of amendments to Butte County Code
Chapter 24. Zoning Ordinance are proposed. Additionally, Butte County Code Chapter 35, Protection
of Agricultural Land ("Right-to-Farm") Ordinance, has been amended to extend the Right-to-Farm
Ordinance to interim agricultural uses within non-agricultural (residential, commercial and industrial)
designations and zones. An EIR Addendum to the previously Certified General Plan 2030

5.03* 10:15 a.m. - Public Hearing— Update to the Master Fee Schedule -Administration, Public Health, and
Clerk-Recorder - The Board of Supervisors established the Butte County Master Fee Schedule by
resolution on March 24, 2009. Three departments recommend adjustments to the Master Fee
Schedule. Administration recommends adjusting the countywide fee for providing photocopies to the
public. Should the recommended fee be adopted, an existing copy fee in the section of the Master
Fee Schedule pertaining to the Assessor's Department would be eliminated. The Public Health
Department is recommending several types of adjustments to fees charged by the Environmental
Health Division, including clarifications in wording, fee reductions resulting from the addition of new
fee subcategories, and new fees based on changes in state law. The Clerk-Recorder is recommending
adjusting the fees for filing an affidavit to amend a confidential marriage license, for the release of
lien, public agency, and for initial access to the online map indexing program. Adopting the
recommended county wide copy fee would not significantly impact county revenues related to
providing copies. Adoption of the fees for new subcategories of services provided by Environmental
Health would reduce departmental revenues by an estimated $12,000 annually, and adoption of new
fees made necessary by changes in State law for services provided by Environmental Health would
produce an estimated $16,500 in revenue for the department annually. Adoption of the fees
recommended by the Clerk-Recorder would result in a minimal increase in departmental revenue.
Each department has included a memo in the staff report that explains the recommended
