3.34 Resolution of Intent to form Butte County Permanent Road Division Zone of Benefit for the
Mandville Park Subdivision - On June 27, 2006, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No.
06-102 establishing the Butte County Permanent Road Division (PRD). The PRD was established
in conjunction with a change in County policy on new roads that are accepted into the County
Maintained Mileage System. The Policy provided that collector or arterial roads would be
accepted into the County Maintained Mileage system, but that local roads would only be
accepted subject to creation of an approved funding source for the future maintenance of the
local road and associated facilities through a Board-approved PRD Benefit Assessment District.
The developer of the Mandville Park Subdivision in north Chico has submitted a Petition to Form
a Zone of Benefit within the PRD. The procedure to form a Zone of Benefit requires a resolution
of intent to establish the PRD Zone of Benefit; a public hearing to consider testimony about
establishing the Zone of Benefit; and a resolution of formation for the Zone of Benefit. The public
hearing and the resolution of formation for this zone of benefit will be considered by the Board
along with the final subdivision map on February 26, 2019 at 9:20 am action requested - ADOPT
RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)

The Sheriff's Office recommends using State Drug Seizure funds for the match. The area of
service is Plumas and Lassen National Forests, the Jonesville Snowpark, and Butte Meadows. The
grant funding period is January 1, 2019 through December 30, 2019. The Sheriff's Office
recommends removing an obsolete snowmobile from the County's Certified Asset Ledger: 2002
Polaris Snowmobile. In lieu of disposing the surplus equipment through the standard process,
the Sheriff's Office recommends trading the obsolete machine for credit toward the new
machine action requested 1) APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED); 2)

4.05 Camp Fire - Phase II Debris Cleanup Priorities - The Camp Fire destroyed over 18,000 structures
(of which approximately 14,500 were homes and businesses) in the Town of Paradise and in
unincorporated areas within Butte County. The Department of Toxic Substances Control and
Environmental Protection Agency have been working to clean parcels from household hazardous
waste (Phase I). As of January 18, 2019, they have cleared over 10,000 parcels or 75% percent
of all destroyed parcels. CalOES, in partnership with CalRecycle, will begin Phase II of the State-
sponsored cleanup towards the end of the January. Teams will be deployed throughout the Town
of Paradise and incorporated areas to cover a large portion of all the communities within the
burn area. While it is the intent to clean all qualified parcels as quickly and as safely as possible
of all qualified fire related debris, the State will be making strategic decisions with regard to the
priority of parcel cleanup work. A number of variables are taken into consideration in
determining which parcels are cleaned first, including but not limited to the following: public
safety (such as watershed); proximity to essential services such as schools, medical facilities, day
care facilities, or critical public facilities; areas where high percentages of Right of Entry forms
have been received; neighborhoods where houses survived the fire and are now being occupied
by fire survivors. The Administration Department recommends that the Board of Supervisors
provide input on the above listed priorities or on other general priorities action requested -
PROVIDE PHASE II DEBRIS CLEANUP PRIORITIES TO STAFF WHICH CALOES AND CALRECYCLE WILL

4.06 Implementation of Camp Fire Fee Waiver Program - The Board of Supervisors authorized the
Chief Administrative Officer and County departments to waive certain fees for survivors of fires
in 2008 and 2017, where approximately 500 structures were destroyed. On November 8, 2018,
the Camp Fire ignited and became the most destructive wildfire in California history, with over
18,000 structures destroyed and over 500 structures damage. Due to the exponentially larger
number of structures that will need to be replaced from the Camp Fire, over a million dollars in
fee waivers are estimated for the uninsured, under-insured, or for property owners who have no
other source for permit fees. The General Fund does not have sufficient resources to backfill the
lost revenue. Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors consider fee waivers for services
related to rebuilding from the Camp Fire, using similar criteria and requirements from prior
years, and with the caveat that the fees can only be waived if the County is able to obtain
reimbursement from a funding source outside of the County's General Fund action requested

4.07 Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Chapters 26 and 28 of the Butte County Code The
recent fires in 2017 and 2018 have destroyed thousands of housing units in Butte County. All
new homes constructed in fire hazard areas are required to meet minimum fire safe standards,
including manufactured homes or factory built housing, with the exception of used
manufactured homes being relocated. State law currently requires that only new manufactured
homes meet fire safe standards in CAL FIRE designated fire hazard areas. Used manufactured
homes may be installed in fire hazard areas with little to no modification to increase fire
resistiveness. The lack of State requirements allows for the installation of manufactured homes
that are an increased fire hazard to the occupants and the community. Government Code section
65852.3 allows, at the discretion of the local legislative body, a city or county to preclude the
installation of a manufactured home if more than 10 years have elapsed from the date of
manufacture of the home and the date of application for permit to install the manufactured
home. Amendments to section 26-2 and section 28A-1 of the Butte County Code will increase
the safety of the community by increasing the fire resistiveness of manufactured homes installed
in all unincorporated areas of the County action requested WAIVE THE FIRST READING OF

4.08 CalPERS Post-Retirement Employment Exemption - The Public Employees' Pension Reform Act
(PEPRA) of 2013 makes retirees ineligible for a period of 180 days. An exemption to this rule is
permitted by Government Code section 7522.56(f)(1), if approved by the governing body in a
public meeting on the regular agenda. The Department of Human Resources recommends the
Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution to allow the extra-help hiring of Connie Meahan as a
Human Resources Analyst-Senior, for the Human Resources Department. Connie Meahan retired
as a regular-help employee on September 21, 2018, and has over 20 years of experience working
in the Department. The proposed extra-help hire date is January 30, 2019. The position of Human
Resources Analyst-Senior is necessary to help with the elimination of a backlog, complete special
project work, and to perform work in excess of what regular staff can do. The Department
anticipates the duration of extra-help will be approximately 12 weeks. The Director of Human
Resources has reviewed the facts and concurs that the request is consistent with Government
Code section 7522.56(f)(1) action requested 1) APPROVE CALPERS POST-RETIREMENT

2023. Amendment 1 permits 5% pay for Undersheriff possessing Peace Officer Standards and
Training (POST) Basic Certificate, up to a maximum incentive pay of 20.5% of base wage. The
Board of Supervisors is requested to approve the employment contract amendment with Jerry
D. Jones, Undersheriff. The salary of the position with POST Basic Certificate is $178,571.73. The
term of the contract is four years, through January 2, 2023 action requested - APPROVE

4.10 Repeal, Replacement and Codification of Camp Fire Urgency Ordinance Nos. 4150, 4151 and
4152 Regarding Debris Removal and Temporary Interim Housing - Chapter 53 of the Butte County
Code - Pursuant to California Constitution Art. XI, Section 7 and Government Code sections
25123(d) and 25131, the Department of Development Services and the Department of Public
Health propose the adoption of an urgency ordinance which repeals, replaces and codifies three
recently adopted Camp Fire Disaster Recovery Urgency Ordinances:
No. 4150 Temporary Housing Outside of the Camp Fire Area (adopted December 11, 2018)
No. 4151 Requirements for the Removal of Fire Damaged Debris from Private Property
(adopted December 11, 2018)
No. 4152 Temporary Housing Inside of the Camp Fire Area (adopted December 21, 2018)
Staff received feedback on the Urgency Ordinances following their adoption and have modified
the content of the Urgency Ordinances as described in the memorandums in the agenda report.
This Urgency Ordinance codifies the separate Urgency Ordinances into one new chapter of the
Butte County Code, Chapter 53. The Urgency Ordinance will take effect immediately upon a
four-fifths approval of the Board of Supervisors. In addition to the recommended changes, staff
requests direction from the Board regarding: (1) whether to include "manufactured housing" as
a temporary housing option; (2) whether to include "yurts" as a temporary housing option; and
(3) whether to allow Temporary RV Parks in the Agriculture Zone action requested 1) WAIVE

5.01 9:10 am Adoption of the Butte County Pension Strategy - The County's required contributions
to CalPERS for employee pensions are expected to continue increasing until reaching their peak
in 12 years. As a percent of pay, the peak rates are projected to increase 57% from the current
year to FY 2030-31. In gross dollars, the contribution would more than double, from $24.9 million
in FY 2018-19 to $57 million in FY 2030-31 due to compounding of the assumed payroll growth
over that period. These increases will exacerbate an already challenging budget situation. The
Finance Work Team, along with staff and a professional actuary, evaluated the options for
addressing increasing pension costs. The team recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt
a strategy setting aside additional funds now and over the next seven years to help offset the
peak cost increases. The Pension Strategy (Strategy) includes: 1) ramping up payroll collections
to a minimum of an additional 1% of pay to be dedicated to the Strategy; 2) dedicating available
and appropriate one-time or other funds towards the Strategy; 3) using savings from the
prepayment of the required annual CalPERS Unfunded Accrued Liability Payments towards the
Strategy; 4) establishing Section 115 irrevocable pension trusts for both the Miscellaneous and
Safety Plans; and 5) regular reevaluation of the strategy as part of the annual budget process

5.02 9:30 am - Appeal of the Planning Commission Denial of Minor Use Permit for Mike Grosberg
Applicant Mike Grosberg filed an appeal of the Planning Commission's November 8, 2018 denial
of Minor Use Permit MUP18-0009 to establish a home business, pursuant to Butte County Code
section 24-. The proposed business includes light assembly of pre-
fabricated parts to make the Handozer D3.5-MG Driveway Leveling Grader. Product parts are
fabricated off-site and delivered to the property by standard UPS delivery. Delivered parts are
stored within the shop until the product is partially assembled and packaged for delivery. Product
assembly includes fastening individual parts to the product's main frame using standard tools
and equipment. The partially assembled frame and other individual parts are then packaged and
stored on-site until the product is either picked-up by UPS or delivered directly to the UPS
terminal. One employee, that resides off-site, works approximately 3.5 hours per day, five days
a week. No customers are proposed to visit the business. The business is located within an
existing 2,400 square foot building containing a 1,396 square foot residence and 1,699 square
foot shop / garage located at 3168 Aloha Lane in the unincorporated area near Chico, and
situated in the VLDR-1 (Very Low Density Residential 1 acre minimum parcel size). The total
business area occupies approximately 324 square feet of the 1,699 square foot private shop

5.03 10:30 am - Resolution Amending the Master Fee Schedule for Services Provided by the Butte
County Department of Public Works - Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF) - The
Department of Public Works has a schedule of gate fees in the Master Fee Schedule for use of
the NRRWF. Included in the gate fees is the commercial haulers tipping fee. Traditionally these
fees are adjusted annually using the Employment Cost Index (ECI) pursuant to Ordinance 4139,
and the recommendation is brought before the Board of Supervisors in the fall. The Department
has franchise agreements with the solid waste haulers, where an annual review of the rates
charged by the solid waste haulers also occurs in the fall. The hauler's rates are based on the
NRRWF's tipping fee. In the fall of 2018, the hauler's rates were calculated based on an ECI
recommendation to increase the tipping fee from $42.11 to $44. However, with the impact of
the Camp Fire in November and December 2018, the recommended ECI increase to the Master
Fee Schedule was postponed. The Department recommends that the 4.87% ECI be applied to
NRRWF's fees, changes be applied for general cleanup of fees, and an addition of four fees be
included in their Master Fee Schedule. The new fees include: 32 Gallon Bag, Other Asphalt or
Concrete (allowing for no more than five inches of exposed rebar), Scrap Metal, and
Weighmaster Certificate action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR
TO SIGN. (County Administration)
