3.03* Continuation of Local Drought Proclamation - On July 22, 2015, the Chief Administrative Officer
declared a local emergency caused by drought, which was proclaimed by the Governor on January
17, 2014. On July 28, 2015 the Board of Supervisors reaffirmed and ratified the proclamation of local
emergency associated with drought. State law requires that the Board of Supervisors review the
need for continuing the local emergency every 30 days. As the State continues through its fifth year
of drought, Butte County is feeling the effects, as there continue to be landowners with dry wells. At
this point, the final duration of the emergency has not yet been determined action requested 1)

grant approved projects have come in under budget. The grant specified Anti-Terrorism Approval
Body (Approval Authority) has authorized the purchase of a bomb suit that meets grant guidelines.
This item requires Board of Supervisors approval for the purchase of a capital asset and related
budget authority action requested - APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 vote required); AND

3.07* Agreement with Michael Baker International, Inc. to Prepare Amendments to the General Plan and
Zoning Ordinance - Butte County is required to amend the General Plan Health and Safety Element to
identify land uses within expanded flood hazard areas based on recently adopted legislation, Senate
Bill 5, and new planning guidelines developed by the California Department of Water Resources. The
County is also required to amend the Zoning Ordinance to establish administrative procedures,
findings, and development standards for proposed projects potentially subject to flooding. State law
requires the General Plan Health and Safety Element consider flood risks in areas subject to a 200-
year flood and protected by levees identified in the State Plan of Flood Control because Butte County
is located in the area covered by the Central Valley Flood Protection Plan (CVFPP). In September
2015, staff published a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Amendment of Butte County General Plan and
Zoning Ordinance for Consistency with the Central Valley Flood Protection Plan. Three companies
submitted proposals and a review committee recommended contracting with Michael Baker
International, Inc. based on the firm's experience preparing similar General Plan and Zoning
Ordinance amendments to comply with SB 5 and CVFPP requirements. The department recommends
executing an agreement with Michael Baker International, Inc. in the amount of $40,035 with a term
to expire on December 31, 2016 action requested - APPROVE THE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE
THE CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND AUDITOR-CONTROLLER.

3.08* Sublease and Attornment Agreements for 205 Mira Loma Drive Suite #30, Oroville, for Occupancy by
DESS - In an effort to gain efficiency, the Butte County Department of Employment and Social
Services (DESS) desires to occupy additional space located at 205 Mira Loma, Suite 30, which is
adjacent to existing DESS employment and adoption programs in Oroville. The facility is owned by
the Jon H. Bechtel Trust and, through a Master Lease, is under the control of Guillon, Inc. Staff
recommends that the Board execute a sublease of the facility from Guillon, Inc. Under the terms of
sublease, the rent payment runs $0.75 per square foot for a total monthly payment of $6,026.25 per
month for the 8,035 square foot area including common area maintenance charges. The planned
termination date for the sublease is June 30, 2021, and includes the option to extend for an
additional sixty month period. Funding for the lease is identified within the DESS FY 2015-16 budget
and no additional appropriation is required. In addition, and in an effort to secure the rights of
occupancy by DESS in the event that the Master Lease between the Jon H. Bechtel Trust and Guillon,
Inc. expires or is terminated, staff also recommends that the Board approve the Attornment
Agreement. The Attornment Agreement establishes the occupancy rights of DESS directly with the
Jon H. Bechtel Trust in the event the facility is no longer under the control of Guillon, Inc. action
requested - APPROVE THE AGREEMENTS AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT TO REVIEW
BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND AUDITOR-CONTROLLER. (General Services)
3.09* Introduction of the Salary Ordinance for FY 2015-2016 - The Department of Human Resources has
prepared an updated Salary Ordinance. The ordinance includes details on allocated positions, and
the salary plans for classified positions and elected and appointed officials. The ordinance is based
on Board of Supervisors actions regarding positions through February 9, 2016 as well as clean-up of
the format of the ordinance to improve readability. In addition, the proposed ordinance shows all
hourly rates of pay with two decimals consistent with how employees are actually paid. Past
ordinances have included four decimals. The conversion from four to two decimals was done in such
a way that no employee will see a reduction in pay due to rounding action requested WAIVE THE
FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE. (Human Resources)
3.10* Resolution Ratifying the Program Supplement Agreement to Master Agreement with State
Department of Transportation - On January 9, 2007, the Board approved Master Agreement,
Administering Agency-State Agreement for Federal-Aid Projects, No. 03-5912R with the State
Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for County projects receiving federal-aid from the Federal
Highway Administration in order to incorporate and conform to changes in State and Federal
statutes, regulations, and policies, including Caltrans Local Assistance procedures relating to the
federal-aid funded programs. With the approval of the agreement in 2007, the Board adopted a
resolution authorizing the Director of Public Works to execute and submit Program Supplements to
the Master Agreement for all future projects. This was necessary to process the Program
Supplements in an expeditious manner as projects came about. Recently Caltrans has begun
requiring individual Board resolutions authorizing the Director of Public Works to sign each Program
Supplement Agreement for each individual project. Public Works recently received the Program
Supplement Agreement for the Lincoln Blvd. Sidewalk Improvement Project 03-5912(087), from
Arnold Avenue to Myers Street. The Program Supplement Agreement was signed by the Director of
Public Works on February 3, 2016 and submitted to Caltrans. The department is requesting the
Board ratify the Program Supplement Agreement in order to meet the new Caltrans requirement

3.11* Resolution Redesignating the Chico/North Butte County Recycling Market Development Zone
(RMDZ) Boundaries - The Department of Public Works is requesting the Board's approval of a
resolution re-designating the Chico/Northern Butte County Recycling Market Development Zone
(Zone). The resolution will act as an application to the Department of Resources Recycling and
Recovery (CalRecycle) for expansion of the Zone's southern boundary to include the North State
Rendering Plant (NSR). CalRecycle's Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ) program offers
incentives to businesses within an RMDZ that use commodities in the waste stream for beneficial
use. NSR has indicated it intends to apply for funding under CalRecycle's Green House Gas Reduction
Grant/Loan program (GHG) and/or RMDZ program. The loan/grant will allow NSR to expand its
facilities to process food waste to generate renewable energy. A facility in Butte County capable of
accepting and processing food waste will help the County and each city in meeting the mandates
placed on local government by the enactment of the commercial organic waste recycling legislation
(AB 1826). Public Works staff worked with cities and other stakeholders to develop the County's
Commercial Organic Waste Recycling Plan in order to comply with AB 1826. As a result of those
meetings, NSR staff requested the County and City of Chico consider expanding the Zone boundary
to include the area in which NSR is located. The City of Chico is the lead agency for the Zone. At its
February 16, 2016 meeting, the Chico City Council will consider a resolution to expand the Zone
the unincorporated area of the County, therefore, CalRecycle requires that the Board of Supervisors
approve a resolution to expand the Zone boundary as well action requested ADOPT RESOLUTION
AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)
3.12* Contract Amendment with Keefe Commissary Network - In 2008, the Sheriff's Office completed a

Over the years, services have been added to include video visitation for inmates, internet secure
messaging, and electronic deposits and at each of these service enhancements, a contract
amendment was completed, numbering three in total. Services of inmate commissary are integral to
jail operations and a long-term relationship with a commissary provider is essential in order to
maintain a smooth process. In December of 2015, the Sheriff's Office prepared a new RFP for
commissary services and is currently reviewing and vetting the two responses and will next enter
into the contract negotiation phase with the selected company. The current Keefe contract is set to
expire February 27, 2016, and the Sheriff is requesting three additional months through May 27,
2016 to finalize selection and negotiations to develop a contract for all required services. All other
terms and conditions remain unchanged action requested APPROVE AMENDMENT AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND THE AUDITOR-
CONTROLLER. (Sheriff-Coroner)
3.13* Sheriff's Office Civil Division Equipment - The Sheriff's Office Civil Division is in need of four hand held
radios for civil deputy use in the field. Due to emerging FCC regulations and anticipated future
analogue to digital, we are electing to purchase dual band radios that will work within both systems.
The Sheriff's Civil Division will be the first division in the Sheriff's Office to purchase the new dual
band radios. Funds for the purchase in the amount of $16,500 will be allocated from the Civil
Equipment Fund action requested APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 vote required). (Sheriff-

3.16* Funds for Armored Vehicle Replacement In April 2013, a refurbished Armored Vehicle was
purchased with FY 2010-11 Homeland Security Grant funds for joint use by the Butte County Sheriff's
Office and the Chico Police Department. In April of 2015, the engine compartment was destroyed by
fire. Because of the vehicle design, the vehicle could not be repaired and was deemed a total loss.
The City of Chico maintained ownership of the vehicle and was storing, maintaining and insuring the
vehicle. The City settled with their insurance carrier and the majority of the cost for replacement was
covered by insurance. Due to state sales tax and shipping of the new vehicle, the insurance
replacement funds were $33,650 less than the total replacement cost. The Sheriff and Chief of Chico
agreed to split the budget shortfall for the new vehicle. Sheriff's portion of the vehicle replacement
is $16,825 to be paid with Federal Asset Forfeiture Funds action requested APPROVE BUDGET
ADJUSTMENT (4/5 vote required). (Sheriff-Coroner)

3.17* Sustainable Groundwater Management Act Basin Boundary Modification - The Sustainable
Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) went into effect on January 1, 2015. Sub basins designated
by the California Statewide Groundwater Elevation Monitoring (CASGEM) program as high or
medium priority are subject to SGMA compliance. In these sub basins, Groundwater Sustainability
Agencies (GSA) must be formed and take responsibility to develop and implement a Groundwater
Sustainability Plan (GSP) by 2022. In Butte County, there are four subbasins (Vina, West Butte, East
Butte and North Yuba) subject to SGMA. Local agencies are provided the opportunity to request the
Department of Water Resources (DWR) modify basin boundaries to foster sustainable groundwater
management. The deadline to submit basin boundary modification requests is March 31, 2016.
Unfortunately, the deadline does not provide sufficient time to fully consider basin boundary
modification options and their potential implications. It would be premature at this time to submit a
basin boundary modification request since there are too many uncertainties regarding SGMA
implementation. Preferably, DWR should reopen the basin modification process in 2018 or 2019,
which would allow GSAs to engage in an orderly and confident planning process that will foster
sustainable groundwater management. The Butte County Water Commission voted on February 3,
2016 to recommend the Board of Supervisors submit a letter to DWR requesting they reopen the
period to accept basin boundary modifications in 2018 or 2019. A similar request is expected to be
made by other public agencies including counties and water districts action requested APPROVE
LETTER AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Water and Resource Conservation)
3.18* Water Advisory Committee Appointments- Oroville and Environment At-Large - The Water Advisory
Committee (WAC) is mandated by the Basin Management Objectives (BMO) ordinance, also known

4.06* 2015 Groundwater Status Report and Basin Management Objectives - Pursuant to Chapter 33 and
Chapter 33A of the Butte County Code, the Department is required to collect data on groundwater
conditions (i.e., elevation, water quality) and land subsidence. The Department is required to report
to the Board of Supervisors each February on the status of groundwater conditions and the Basin
Management Objectives (BMO) program. The 2015 Groundwater Status Report includes a summary
of hydrologic conditions for the 2015 water year (October 2014-September 2015); groundwater
conditions; results from the water quality trend monitoring program, land subsidence data, and the
2016 BMO reports. The BMO documents for each of the 16 sub-inventory units (SIU) describe land
and water use activities in the SIU, geology, current conditions and the management objective as
stated by SIU stakeholders. Spring and fall hydrographs for each BMO well show groundwater levels
over time in comparison to their Alert Stage. The BMO Ordinance specifies the methodologies for
BMOs (i.e., desirable groundwater conditions) and Alert Stages when BMOs are not reached. 2015
was classified as a critical water year in the Sacramento Valley. Groundwater levels are generally a
little lower than in 2014 and the number of wells reaching a BMO Alert Stage increased. Water
quality results show no indication of saline intrusion into the basin. No inelastic land subsidence has
been recorded in Butte County to date. The report was reviewed by the Technical Advisory
Committee on January 12, 2016 and was presented to the Water Commission on February 3, 2016
