3. Consent Agenda
3.01* Agreement with Aurora Behavioral Healthcare - Aurora Behavioral Healthcare provides inpatient
psychiatric hospitalization services. The State mandates contracting with managed care hospitals
based on a county's historical utilization. Butte County Department of Behavioral Health (BCDBH)
began drafting the managed care hospital agreements in April but needed to wait for each "host
county" (county in which the hospital exists), to negotiate their rates with the hospital for the new
fiscal year. Once negotiated, their contract must be fully executed by their respective governing
board. The State is notified by the host county of the contracted rates, and all other counties who
contract with the hospital utilize those rates per the direction of the state. Due to these
requirements, agreements with managed care hospitals are typically approved later in the fiscal
year. Approval is requested for an agreement with Aurora Behavioral Healthcare to provide inpatient
psychiatric services for clients referred by BCDBH. The term of this agreement will begin July 1, 2014
and will terminate June 30, 2015. The maximum financial obligation under this agreement shall not
exceed $350,000 — action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN

3.07* Resolution Encouraging the Federal Government to Reform the Federal Fee-to-Trust Process -
California counties impacted by tribal gaming continue to find that existing federal laws and
regulations fail to address the off-reservation impacts of tribal land development, including casinos.
Commercial projects on reservation land can attract large volumes of visitors and lead to myriad
impacts on the surrounding community. As such, California State Association of Counties (CSAC) is
continuing its efforts in 2015 to reform the federal fee-to-trust process. CSAC has requested counties
to take formal action in support of its reform efforts as a delegation of county supervisors and staff
are preparing to attend the National Association of Counties (NACo) Legislative Conference and visit
with California's congressional delegation. The CSAC officers and staff will use individual county
resolutions to assist in the reform proposal. CSAC's reform proposal aims to provide counties
adequate notice about fee-to-trust applications, provide counties with meaningful consultation, and
incentivize judicially enforceable intergovernmental agreements - action requested - ADOPT

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on a proposal to designate Over-Snow Vehicle (OSV) use
within the Lassen National Forest (LNF) The goal of this proposed project is to designate LNF system

System roads, National Forest System trails, and Areas on National Forest System lands within the
Lassen National Forest; and to identify snow trails for grooming within the Lassen National Forest.
Requested is an approval of a comment letter to the the Forest Service, U.S. Department of
Agriculture to consider the following on the Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS on the proposal to
designate OSV use within the Lassen National Forest: 1) Remove the prohibition in the southwest
corner of the LNF below 3,500'. The 12" and 6" rule is sufficient in precluding OSV travel when

3.14* Budget Adjustment for County Service Area 23 - Pleasant Valley Drainage - County Service Area 23,
known as Pleasant Valley Drainage, provides drainage maintenance to 1,916 parcels in the north
Chico area. Public Works road crews perform major maintenance work within this CSA every three to
four years. This work consists of the clearing of vegetative overgrowth when it threatens the flow
capacity of the drainage channel. The current year's budgeted amount for maintenance was not
sufficient to meet the total expenses incurred from an extensive cleanup effort late last year.
Approval is requested for a budget adjustment in the amount of$5,000 utilizing fund balance from
County Service Area 23 - action requested - APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT. (4/5 vote required)
(Public Works)
3.15* Butte County Support of Submitting a Regional Application for the 2015 Flood Emergency Response
Program - Recently the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) issued a call for projects for
Round 2 of the Flood Emergency Response (FER) Grant Program. The purpose of the grant is to
provide grant funding for local emergency responders to improve local flood emergency
preparedness and response plans. Under this program DWR will provide financial assistance through
a grant agreement to ensure local agencies have a robust flood emergency plan in place with
adequate flood preparedness and response capacity and resources. In 2013 the Mid/Upper
Sacramento River Regional Flood Management Plan (MUSR RFMP) group applied for a Round 1 grant
under this same program. The region was fortunate to receive a grant to begin the process of
developing Flood Emergency Response plans for many of the jurisdictions in the region. Because the
Scoring for the FER program is heavily weighted toward regional collaboration the Mid/Upper
Sacramento Region once again decided to prepare a Regional Application to further develop and
implement the programs and mapping that were developed as a part of the Round 1 grant. These
activities will be of benefit to all the Jurisdictions in the region that are involved in flood emergency
response activities. The Round 2 FER Grant will assist in providing additional resources to implement
the Round 1 planned activities. RD 108 has once again volunteered to act as the grant recipient for
the region just as they did for the Round 1 FER funding. Reclamation District 108 is requesting that
each jurisdiction provide a support letter for this effort — action requested - APPROVE THE LETTER
AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)
3.16* Reduction of Certain Gate Fees - Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility - At its November 6, 2012
meeting, the Board of Supervisors approved a rate increase for the Neal Road Recycling and Waste
Facility (NRRWF) to be implemented over a 3-year period. The rate increase was part of a two-part
plan to increase revenue at the NRRWF to fund capital improvements identified in a Strategic Plan
(2012-2021) prepared for the NRRWF. Rate increases were to take effect on January 1st of 2013,
2014, and 2015. Rate fee increases were implemented on January 1st of 2013 and 2014. At its
October 21, 2014 meeting, the Board approved waste and recycling collection franchise agreements
for the unincorporated areas. As part of approving the franchise agreements, initial collection rates
were approved based on a study conducted by the County's consultant of collection rates charged in
2014. The franchise agreements include a rate setting methodology for collection fees that is
triggered, in part, by increases in landfill gate fees. Since a landfill fee increase in January 1, 2015
would have triggered an increase in those initial franchise agreement collection rates that were just
set in October, staff decided not to implement the approved gate fee increase on January 1, 2015.
Staff wanted to avoid additional confusion for the public that an increase in collection rates before
the franchise services were even implemented would have created. With the franchise agreements
effective March 1, 2015, the NRRWF will receive additional waste tons (and revenue) that will offset
the fee roll-back. An analysis of the impact of postponing the gate fee increase as it relates to the
Strategic Plan's revenue model will be performed later this calendar year. Staff will forward a
recommendation to the Board based on that analysis. A Resolution with Exhibit A is included in the
staff report, which reverses the gate fee increase of January 1, 2015 to that implemented January 1,
2014-action requested -ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)
FEBRUARY 10,2015-BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA PAGE 4 OF 12
3.17* Keefe Commissary Network Contract Amendment - Since 2008, the Butte County Sheriff's Office has
contracted with Keefe Commissary Network for inmate commissary services. Keefe provides inmates
with items to purchase as well as maintaining the inmate accounting software and managing secure
mail from persons desiring to send mail to inmates. The Sheriff's Office is currently undergoing a
large software management system installation that will modify the level of services necessary from
Keefe. As the Sheriff's Office is not Yet prepared to move all tracking services to the new Jail
Management System (JMS), the need for Keefe's accounting software continues until the JMS is
functional. The Sheriff's Office intended to prepare a Request for Proposal for new commissary
services but recognized it cannot change commissary services until the JMS is operational;
commissary ordering is component of the new system. The Sheriff's Office cannot publish an RFP
until it fully understands the complexity of the need to interface with the new JMS in commissary
ordering, inmate fund tracking and deposits. The Sheriff's Office is requesting a one-year extension
through February 27, 2016. Revenue collected from this contract is deposited to the Inmate Welfare
Fund - action requested -APPROVE AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT TO
REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND AUDITOR-CONTROLLER. (Sheriff)
3.18* Forest Advisory Committee - Alternate Member Appointments - The Board of Supervisors
established the Forest Advisory Committee (FAC) to facilitate public involvement and assist the
County in its quest to meet the guiding principles of the Butte General Plan 2030 as it pertains to
utilization and management of public lands. The FAC is comprised of five public members and five
alternates representing the following areas of interest: 1) Agriculture/Timber Management; 2)
Recreation—Motorized; 3) Recreation—Non-Motorized; 4) Environmental &Watershed Management;
and 5) Economic/Tourism. A recruitment was conducted for the FAC, and to date, the County has
appointed five members and two alternates. The Committee has received requests for
appointment/letters of interest from the following individuals who have also been active public
participants at monthly FAC meetings since August: Charlotte Ann Hilgeman and Bob Gage. At its
meeting of January 26, 2015, the FAC voted to submit their names for approval by the Board of
Supervisors to fill alternate positions as follows: Economic/Tourism: Charlotte Ann Hilgeman and
Recreation-Non-Motorized: Bob Gage. The letters of request and the FAC Bylaws, which contain
additional detail regarding the membership of the FAC, are included in the staff report - action
requested - MAKE APPOINTMENTS. (Treasurer-Tax Collector)
3.19* Drought Task Force Report - In 2004, Butte County adopted the Drought Preparedness and
Mitigation Plan (Resolution 04-200). A key element of the Plan was the creation of 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. On January 17, 2014, Governor Brown declared a
statewide drought emergency and issued an executive order. On January 31, 2014 Butte County
activated the 2014 Drought Emergency Operation Center. The 2014 Drought Action Plan is currently

discuss fall groundwater level measurements, hydrologic conditions and drought impacts.The report
of the DTF was presented to the Butte County Water Commission on January 7, 2015. No formal
recommendations to the Board of Supervisors were made from the DTF or the Water Commission.

4.04* Proposed Revisions to the Zoning Ordinance Regarding Real Estate and Political Signs in the County
Road Right of Way - The Public Works Department has been reviewing the County's Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to the sections on real estate and political signs in the public road right of way.
Both of these sections can be found in Article 20 under section 24-108 "Temporary Signs." The
proposed revisions to the Zoning Ordinance would allow temporary portable "open house" signs to
be placed in the County right of way in a manner that would not create a potential risk to the public
health, safety and general welfare or injure County property. The proposed draft revisions would
also allow non-portable real estate signs in a County right of way after the application and approval
of a minor use permit/discretionary permit. The existing code allows political signs to be installed no
earlier than 90 days prior to an election and removed no later than 7 days following an election. The
existing code prohibits political signs from being placed in the County road right of ways. The
proposed revisions to the Code would allow political signs to be placed in a County right of way in a
manner that will not create a potential risk to the public health, safety and general welfare or injure
County property. Included in the agenda report are the proposed Zoning Ordinance revisions
showing deletions as strike out and additions shown as underlined - action requested - PROVIDE
DIRECTION TO STAFF ON THE PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT. BASED ON BOARD

5.03* 9:35 a.m. - Public Hearing - Updates to the Master Fee Schedule
A. Rescind Resolution 15-011 - Amendments to the Master Fee Schedule - At its meeting on
January 27, 2015, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 15-011. The resolution
provided for an adjustment to the county wide fee for providing photocopies to the public,
several types of adjustments to fees charged by the Environmental Health Division of the
Public Health Department, and fee adjustments in the Office of the Clerk-Recorder. After the
close of the public hearing where the fee adjustments were considered and the resolution was
adopted, the Board requested that the fees be reconsidered at the following meeting.
Presented for consideration is a resolution to rescind Resolution 15-011 and, thereby, all
amendments to the Master Fee Schedule contained in it - action requested - ADOPT
RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION 15-011 AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Board
of Supervisors)
B. Resolution Updating Master Fee Schedule - Public Health and Clerk-Recorder - The Board of
Supervisors established the Butte County Master Fee Schedule by resolution on March 24,
2009. Two departments recommend adjustments to the Master Fee Schedule. 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. Each department has included a memo that explains the
recommended adjustments in detail. 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 - action requested - ADOPT THE
RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Administration)
C. Resolution Updating Master Fee Schedule - Countywide Fee for Copies - Administration
recommends adjusting the countywide fee for providing routine copies to the public. The
current fee for routine copies is $0.25 for the first page and $0.06 for all subsequent pages of
a copy. The copy fee in the Assessor's Department is currently $1.00 per page. The
recommended fee, based upon analysis of current costs is $0.10 per page. Should the
recommended fee be adopted, the existing copy fee in the Master Fee Schedule pertaining to
the Assessor's Department would be eliminated -action requested -ADOPT RESOLUTION AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Administration)

5.04* 10:45 a.m. -Timed Item —Consideration of an Ordinance for Hydraulic Fracturing Ban -At its April 8,
2014 meeting, the Board directed staff to prepare an ordinance banning hydraulic fracturing (fracking)
in Butte County. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed ordinance banning fracking at its
October 23, 2014 meeting and directed staff to prepare an alternative ordinance banning only the
storage of hydraulic fracturing byproducts. At its December 11, 2014 meeting, the Planning
Commission, after extensive public comment and discussion, voted 2-1 to make no recommendation
to the Board of Supervisors. Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors waive the first reading of
the ordinance banning fracking in Butte County and adopt the resolution finding the ordinance
exempt from environmental review per the California Environmental Quality Act - action requested -
