AGENDA -FEBRUARY 14, 2012
CHIEF
ADMINISTRATIVE 3.04* ReEional HousinE Authority of Sutter and Nevada Counties -The State Housing and
OFFICE Community Development Department (HCD) allows jurisdictions to enter into
subrecipient agreements with a governmental non-profit, private non-profit, or
private for-profit agency to execute HCD funded activities on the jurisdiction's behalf.
On November 14, 2011 the County's Disaster Recovery Initiative (DRI) contract with
the State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program was amended to
include an additional award of $3,093,980 of which $769,500 is provided for housing
assistance. Staff recommends approval of an amendment to increase the amount of
the Housing Authority agreement for the administration of the Housing Assistance
program by $184,680 (from $592,920 to $777,600) and extend the term of the
agreement from November 30, 2013 to March 31, 2014. The additional DRI funding
increases the amount available to provide housing assistance to victims of the 2008
fires. There is no impact to the General Fund -action requested -APPROVE
AGREEMENT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT TO REVIEW
BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND THE AUDITOR-CONTROLLER.
3.05* ReEional HousinE Authority of Sutter and Nevada Counties - On September 1, 2007,
Butte County entered into a master subrecipient agreement with the Housing
Authority to administer the County's Housing Rehabilitation program, which serves
low-income households in the unincorporated areas of the County. The County's
Housing Rehabilitation Program is funded through existing housing rehabilitation loan
payments, housing rehabilitation loan payoffs, and grant funds when available.
Amendment 1 to Exhibit 3 of the master subrecipient agreement between the County
of Butte and the Housing Authority recommends continuing to utilize the Housing
Authority as our housing rehabilitation consultant through June 30, 2013. It is
anticipated that during this term no more than $420,000 in loans will be executed
utilizing CDBG Program Income. The administrative fee to be paid to the Housing
Authority for their services will total 25% of the executed loan value or $105,000. The
contract is paid from CDBG Program Income funds and there is no impact to the
General Fund - action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND THE
AUDITOR-CONTROLLER.
3.06* Jail Security System Proiect Funding - In 2011, the County replaced the main jail
security system due to its inadequate functioning, which was caused by the non-
performance of the contractor. The installation of the new system was funded
through General Fund Appropriations for Contingencies, Inmate Welfare Funds and
anticipated revenue from the calling of the contractor's performance bond. The
insurance company that issued the bond is litigating the matter, therefore the
revenues have not been realized. Fund balance from the Capital Project Fund was
used as cash flow, but now the fund has additional needs for the cash. Revenue from
the performance bond will likely be received in FY 2012/2013, therefore staff
recommends transferring $579,733 from the Criminal Justice Facility Construction
Fund to the Capital Project Fund to provide needed cash. Upon receipt of the
proceeds of the performance bond revenues, the Criminal Justice Facilities
Construction Fund can be repaid - action requested - APPROVE BUDGET
ADJUSTMENT (4/5 vote required).

AGENDA -FEBRUARY 14, 2012
3.07* Alternate Dispute Resolution ProEram -Pursuant to the provisions of the Dispute
Resolution Programs Act of 1986 (California Business and Professions Code Section
465 et seq.), Butte County established the Alternative Dispute Resolution Program in
conjunction with the Butte County Superior Court. The goal of the Dispute Resolution
Programs Act was to create astate-wide system of locally-funded programs that
would provide services to assist county residents in resolving problems informally and
function as alternatives to more formal court proceedings. Butte County's Alternative
Dispute Resolution Program has been administered by the Court and funded by a
dedicated portion of Court filing fees, which the County receives and disburses
through the Office of County Counsel to the Court. No County funds are dedicated to
the program. New contracting rules at the State have necessitated a change to the
program structure to ensure continuity and compliance. The updated structure will
result in the Court retaining the operational aspects of the program while the County
contracts with the vendors. Funds will continue to come from a dedicated portion of
Court civil filing fees. The action is supported by County Counsel and the Butte
County Superior Court. The Department will return to the Board at a future meeting
for consideration of vendor contracts -action requested -DESIGNATE THE COURT
EXECUTIVE OFFICER OR DESIGNEE AS THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROGRAM

3.09* Adoption of Amendment to Ordinance 4025 - Board of Supervisors Member

local levels, and to reinforce good public policy that all employees will make
contributions towards their retirement pension, the existing members of the Butte
County Board of Supervisors agreed to phase in a portion of the payment of the
employee contribution to CaIPERS. To reflect similar actions for future Board
members and to separate Board members from other elected officials, a new
resolution was adopted in January and a change to the existing Ordinance regarding
Board of Supervisors Member Compensation was introduced. The amendment to
Ordinance 4025, Board of Supervisors Member Compensation, amends Section 8
(Other Benefits) to reference the "most current Resolution Regarding Benefits of
Butte County Board of Supervisors Members" to incorporate the new and separate
resolution for Board Members. On-going savings from Board Members paying a
portion of the employee contribution to CaIPERS -action requested -ADOPT

Subsequent to the closure of the Private Industry Council (PIC), which served as the
facility manager for the County-owned SOCC and a number of facilities leased by the
County, General Services (GS) incurred a number of unanticipated costs in
temporarily providing facilities related services in an effort to keep County programs
functional until long-term solutions could be implemented. Award of the contract for
the management of SOCC to The Hignell Companies returns daily management of
SOCC to a contracted service provider and completes long-term plans established
subsequent to the closure of PIC.
GS is requesting a budget adjustment of $36,732 from the General Fund
Appropriation for Contingencies to cover approximately $14,932 in SOCC operating
costs already incurred by GS since the beginning of the current fiscal year, and
approximately $21,800 that will be incurred by GS in transitioning management of
SOCC to the new management team. The balance in the General Fund Appropriation
for Contingencies as of January 1, 2012, was $1,100,707.
Separate from the costs associated with management of the SOCC are costs incurred
by GS to temporarily provide services in leased facilities for the Departments of
Employment and Social Services, Public Health, and Behavioral Health. To reimburse
GS for providing those services previously provided by PIC, a budget adjustment of
$179,644 is required with transfers from the approved FY 2011/2012 operating

Behavioral Health: The Behavioral Health Department is requesting to delete one
vacant Office Specialist, Senior/Office Specialist/Office Assistant position and add one
Medical Records Technician, Senior/Medical Records Technician position. This change

positions are being added to accommodate for multiple long term leaves of absence
at the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility with uncertain return dates. In order for
the department to continue providing adequate service to County residents, these
positions are being requested. This change will increase the allocations in the
department by two. The costs of $53,977 for the remainder of FY 2011/2012 will be

Grand Jury reviewed the operations of the Public Works Department's Fleet Services
Division and made three recommendations in its report. The Board of Supervisors, in
its formal response, directed the Public Works Director to report back with a plan to
implement those recommendations by February 2012. In summary, the Grand Jury's
recommendation to consolidate and/or centralize all County's fleet functions under

3.27* BudEet Adjustment -The Sheriff's Office contracts for inmate medical services within
the jail facility. The contract has a maximum payout of $15,000 per episode for
medical services rendered outside the facility. On rare occasion, an inmate suffers a
catastrophic medical incident far exceeding the $15,000 policy limit. The medical
costs above the $15,000 limit can be substantial and are a County cost. The Sheriff's
Office had previously researched the cost of catastrophic medical insurance, and the
cost was prohibitive. With an increasing local inmate population and the potential for
longer inmate sentences, the department has again researched the cost of inmate
medical insurance. With the assistance of County Risk Management, the Sheriff's
Office reviewed numerous catastrophic medical insurance plan proposals, and the
county's insurance provider worked to develop the best option for a policy for the
County. The Sheriff's Office would like to purchase a policy through the county's
insurance provider with the following cost thresholds: $75,000 deductible per
incident per inmate with a $500,000 liability limit. The annual cost of the policy is
$33,562 with a term of March 1, 2012 through February 28, 2013. The amount the
policy will pay per case varies by each medical incident. The cost to the county may
be greater than the amount covered yet should significantly off-set a major medical
case. Total first year annual cost is $33,562, funded with Inmate Welfare Funds -

eliminating leases for several scattered, inadequate facilities; and to reduce
overcrowding in 25 County Center Drive in Oroville. With the conceptual
plans spanning years and the project now coming to fruition, the General
Services Department will provide an update to the Board of Supervisors on
the status and timeline for the project. The plan is to fund the project with a
USDA loan that will be repaid over a 40-year period through multiple sources
in the Clerk-Recorder and Elections budgets (including lease savings), Facility
Reserves and Development Impact Fees -action requested -ACCEPT FOR
INFORMATION.
B. Authorization to Close Escrow on Parcels for Construction of the Hall of
Records - On November 8, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved a
$600,000 appropriation of funds that included $380,000 for land acquisition
for the Hall of Records project. The County has successfully negotiated an
agreement for the acquisition of parcels 031-150-080, 031-150-081, 031-150-
082 and 031-150-083 in Oroville for the project. The purchase price for all
four parcels combined is $355,000, not including approximately $20,000 in
closing costs, bringing the total acquisition cost to approximately $375,000.
Due diligence analysis centered on environmental factors, planning, valuation,
and title conditions have been completed confirming that the parcels
containing approximately 3.88 acres meet the requirements of the County.
Staff requests the approval to execute the documentation, including the
Certificates of Acceptance, necessary to close escrow for all four parcels. If
the County is not successful in obtaining a USDA loan for this project, the fund
balance in the Capital Project Fund will be reduced to cover these costs,
leaving less funding for other projects. The County is in the pre-application
phase with the USDA at this time -action requested -APPROVE THE
ACQUISITION OF ASSESSOR PARCEL NUMBERS 031-150-080, 031-150-081,
031-150-082 AND 031-150-083; AND AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL SERVICES
DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE
ACQUISITION, INCLUDING THE CERTIFICATES OF ACCEPTANCE, ON BEHALF OF
THE COUNTY. (General Services)

BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
AGENDA -FEBRUARY 14, 2012
4.06* Direction to the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) reEardinE Butte
County's Position on the Governor's Initiative for GuaranteeinE Revenues for 2011
RealiEnment - In December 2011, CSAC, of which Butte County is a member,
requested feedback from counties regarding support for an initiative on the
November 2012 ballot that would provide Constitutional protections for 2011
realignment. The proposal was to raise county dues by 37.5% annually to free up non-
public funds to support the initiative. The Butte County Board of Supervisors voted
not to support the dues increase and the CSAC sponsored initiative. CSAC is now
requesting that counties provide feedback on whether or not they would support the
Governor's initiative entitled "Temporary Taxes to Fund Education. Guaranteed Local
Public Safety Funding. Initiative Constitutional Amendment" that will be on the
November 2012 ballot. The Governor's initiative would provide 2011 realignment
protections along with temporary new taxes. The CSAC Governing Body will receive
feedback from counties at its February 23, 2012 meeting. Currently, California
counties have no guarantee of funding from the State for the shift of State programs
to county governments under 2011 realignment. If no Constitutional protection is
provided, counties will still be responsible for the realigned programs with no
guaranteed revenue to fund them. The initiative calls for temporary tax increases to
offset the revenue guarantee -action requested -PROVIDE DIRECTION REGARDING
THE BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS' POSITION ON CSAC'S PROPOSAL TO
SUPPORT THE GOVERNOR'S INITIATIVE. (Administration on Behalf of Supervisor Kirk)
4.07* Redevelopment Oversight Board Appointments for Chico, Oroville, Paradise and
Gridley -The California Legislature's action to eliminate redevelopment agencies
(AB1X 26) was recently upheld by the California Supreme Court. As a result, all
redevelopment agencies will be dissolved as of February 1, 2012. AB1X 26 provides
that each former redevelopment agency determine the successor agency. The local
entity that created the redevelopment agency may elect to be the successor agency.
The Cities of Chico, Oroville, and Gridley, and Town of Paradise have elected to be
successor agencies. The successor agency shall among other tasks, continue making
payments on and managing enforceable obligations of the former redevelopment
agency. The legislation also provides that each successor agency have an oversight
board pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 34179. Of the seven
members required to sit on each of the oversight boards, two members shall be
appointed by the County: one member appointed by the County Board of Supervisors;
and one member of the public appointed by the County Board of Supervisors -action
requested -APPOINT ONE MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO EACH OF
THE FOUR OVERSIGHT BOARDS; AND APPOINT ONE MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC TO
EACH OF THE FOUR OVERSIGHT BOARDS. (Administration)

S.OO PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS
9:30 A.M. 5.01* Timed Item -Introduction of an Ordinance AmendinE Chapter 4 of the Butte County
Code Relating to Animals -Neither State law nor the local animal ordinance (Chapter
4 of the Butte County Code) contain language addressing bison/buffalo running at
large. Bison/buffalo are considered exotic animals. The proposed amendment to
Butte County Code, Chapter 4 will add language that will clarify all animals included in
the exotic animal category are required to be held within a fenced area in order to
protect the animals and the safety of the public. Additionally, the proposed ordinance
will add language regarding fair hearing processes dealing with kennel licenses as this
section was inadvertently left out during the last update of the animal control
ordinance. The proposed addition will allow kennel permit holders a clear and
consistent procedure to deal with any suspected kennel permit violations. The current
ordinance does not provide that due process to kennel permit holders -action
