administer the program. Butte County has an existing partnership with the Yankee Hill Fire Safe

3.09 Request to Fund Administration Costs to Implement the Upper Feather River Integrated Regional
Water Management Plan - The State of California promoted the development of integrated
regional water management (IRWM) plans to facilitate regional coordination on common water
resource priorities (e.g., supply, flood, waste, etc). Various state water funding programs either
require, or give preference to, project applications that are identified as a priority with an IRWM
planning area. Most of California established IRWM planning areas. In Butte County, there are
two IRWM planning areas- Northern Sacramento Valley(NSV) and the Upper Feather River.The
Upper Feather River IRWM planning area was adopted in 2016; covers Plumas, Sierra, and Butte
counties; and was formally amended to include Butte County as a member of the Board of
Directors in 2017.The development of the Upper Feather River IRWM was supported through a
Proposition 84 grant. The Proposition 84 grant is complete. The implementation of the Upper
Feather River IRWM is being conducted by a consultant, Hinman &Associates Consulting, with
funding from Plumas County,which provided$10,000 in FY 2016-17 and committed $25,000 for
FY 2017-18. Plumas County's support was done on an interim basis until a long term funding
strategy can be adopted. With the conclusion of the Proposition 84 grant funds, the Upper
Feather River IRWM Board recently proposed to change the manner in which the program would
be funded for 2017-18 and going forward. The Upper Feather River IRWM Board proposed
financial contributions (based on geographic area) from the three counties seated on the Board
including Plumas ($19,025), Butte ($3,975), and Sierra ($2,000). A one-time contribution of
$3,975 is requested from Butte County. The expense can be paid from the Water and Resource
Conservation Department budget for FY 2017-18. Future contributions would be evaluated at
the time of the request — action requested - APPROVE REQUEST TO CONTRIBUTE $3,975 TO

3.24 City of Chico Request for County Contribution of Impact Fees for SR 99-Eaton Road Interchange
Improvement Project-Over the last Year, Public Works staff held discussions with Public Works
staff from the City of Chico about a possible County contribution to the SR 99-Eaton Road
Interchange Improvement Project.The discussions revolved around using funding from the Chico
Urban Area Transportation Impact Fees(CUATIF)collected by the County for projects in the Chico
area. This impact fee was established in the 1980's to generate funding for major street
improvement projects for the areas impacted by development in the City and in County areas
surrounding the City. At the time of the implementation of the fee program, the City took the
lead in developing the necessary studies and continues to do the necessary work to update the
program.The only project the County currently has listed for this funding source is a future traffic
signal at the intersection of West East Avenue and Guynn Avenue which is located in the County
jurisdiction.This interchange project being proposed by the City of Chico is located at SR 99 and
Eaton Road, and will benefit both City and County residents. The City arranged for various State
and federal funding sources (Caltrans and Highway Safety Improvement Program) for this
project, and is requesting $450,000 from this CUATIF to assist with funding the project
development component. The City of Chico will be responsible for all aspects of environmental
review, right-of-way, design, and construction of the proposed improvement. County areas that
will benefit from this project include those areas north of Eaton Road along Hicks Lane and the
County areas south of Eaton and north of East Lassen Avenue east of SR 99. Per the Butte County
Association of Governments traffic model, about 18% of the vehicles utilizing this interchange
are residents of the unincorporated area.The department supports the request from the City of
Chico for funds from the CUATIF—action requested—1) DIRECT STAFF TO DRAFT AN AGREEMENT

5. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS
5.01 9:20 am - 5 MPH Speed Posting for the Oregon Gulch Road Bridge Across Oregon Gulch Creek
Pursuant to Title 23 of the Code of Federal Regulations(Federal Highway Act), Caltrans Structure
Maintenance and Investigations make biennial inspections of bridges under County jurisdiction.
The load capacity of a bridge is controlled by many factors including a component for impact, or
the speed of a vehicle as it crosses the structure. By restricting this speed, the component for
impact can be reduced to the point where this structure can continue to withstand California
legal truck loads. Without the maximum speed posting, the bridge would be required to be
posted for load. If posted for load, the bridge would no longer be able to carry all legal loads,
which means each truck driver would need to check the truck's weight and configuration against
the posted restrictions. This could also require delivery trucks to make short loads,which means
carrying less than full capacity when making deliveries in order to comply with the load
restrictions. This bridge has relatively short radius gravel surfaced curves approaching from both
directions, which makes it an obvious candidate for a speed restriction. This circumstance
provides the justification to post this bridge for speed limitations rather than load limitations.
Caltrans Area Bridge Maintenance Engineers determined the Maximum Speed Posting for the
bridge on Oregon Gulch Road Bridge across Oregon Gulch Creek shall be 5 miles per hour (mph)
—action requested -ADOPT RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE MAXIMUM SPEED POSTING FOR THE
BRIDGE ON GULCH ROAD ACROSS OREGON GULCH CREEK TO BE 5 MPH AND AUTHORIZE THE
CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)

party consultants (hired by the property owner) is required. The department is recommending
