workshops and have worked with local partners, Butte County Resource Conservation District and
Plumas National Forest (PNF), to develop the work proposed for the 2015-16 OHV Grant pre-
application. In summary, the 2015-16 OHV Grant application proposes the following work projects:

Feasibility Study for the approximately 1.2 mile private road section of Four Trees Road. Four Trees
Road is the only road access to the Plumas National Forest along State Highway 70 corridor. Opening
up this section of road to the public will provide convenient and easy access to OHV routes in the
PNF. The Feasibility Study will include working with the five individual property owners and the PNF

3.12* Amendment to the Franchise Agreement for Refuse, Recyclable Materials and Green Waste
Collection Services - The Department of Public Works requests approval of an amendment to the
franchise agreements with Waste Management, Recology Butte Colusa Counties, and Northern
Recycling and Waste Services by reducing collection fees for mobile home parks and multi-family
facilities that have individual trash collection service. When mobile home park collection fees were
recommended as part of Exhibit B of the franchise agreements, staff used information provided by
the haulers to determine the collection fees. The haulers provided summary information of their
charges. Under terms of the negotiations, County staff was not to have any of the haulers' detailed
financial information. Instead, the County contracted with a consultant to analyze the haulers'
detailed information. The consultant concentrated on total revenue for each company, and his
collection fee study focused on single family and commercial accounts only. Since the franchise
agreements have been executed, County staff now has more detailed account information from the
haulers. Staff has evaluated the collection fees for mobile home parks currently being charged by the
haulers and has determined that the adopted collection fees should be reduced. The haulers agree
that the franchise agreements should be amended to reflect this change. Requested action is to
approve an amendment to the franchise agreements which amends Exhibit B, reducing collection
fees for mobile home parks and multi-family facilities. Proposed amendment is included in staff
report (changes are found on page 2) — action requested - APPROVE AMENDMENT TO FRANCHISE
AGREEMENTS FOR REFUSE, RECYCLABLE MATERIALS AND GREEN WASTE COLLECTION SERVICES.

the expenses incurred from Public Works road crews performing maintenance work within this CSA
in December 2014. Requested is a budget adjustment ($500) to pay for this unanticipated cost —
action requested -APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT(4/5 vote required). (Public Works)
3.14* State of California, Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Division (OHVMR) Grant—2015 -On Nov. 4, 2014, the
Butte County Board of Supervisors approved the Sheriff's Office application for grant funding from

support of a grant application. The Sheriff's Office has since been awarded a grant in the amount of
$32,064. The funds will support the Sheriff's commitment to patrolling recreation areas in the
Plumas and Lassen National Forest, the Jonesville Snowpark, and Butte Meadows during high usage
periods. Staff will use snow machines and/or off-road vehicles to assist recreationalists, perform
rescues and educate the public as to safe practices when in the remote outdoors. The grant will be
utilized for personnel costs and a capital asset purchase of a Ranger Utility Vehicle (UTV) estimated
to cost $18,000. The grant requires matching funds of 25% which will be met by Sheriff's Office staff
providing supervision of grant activities, financial oversight, as well as Butte County Search & Rescue
volunteer time, and the purchase of a $1,200 trailer to transport the UTV. The trailer will be

4.06* 2014 Groundwater Status Report/Basin Management Objectives (BMO) - Pursuant to Chapters 33
and 33A of the Butte County Code, the Department of Water and Resource Conservation 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 BMO program. The 2014 Groundwater Status Report includes a
summary of hydrologic conditions for the water year (October 2013-September 2014), groundwater
conditions, results from the water quality trend monitoring program, land subsidence data, and the
2015 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. 2014
was classified as a critical water year in the Sacramento Valley. Groundwater levels are generally
lower than in 2013 and the number of wells reaching a BMO Alert Stage increased. Water quality
results showed a number of samples with new lows for pH and new highs for electrical conductivity
but observations 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 21, 2015 and was presented to the Water Commission on February 4, 2015 -

5. Public Hearings and Timed Items
5.01* 9:20 a.m. -Timed Item - Deputy Sheriff's Association (DSA) Basic POST and 12 Hour Shift Side Letters
The Sheriff and Human Resources staff have been working together on developing a three-pronged
approach to address the existing staffing shortage and inability to recruit qualified Deputy Sheriff
applicants. The strategy includes enhanced compensation (5%) along with the 12-hour scheduling for
Deputy Sheriff and Sergeant classifications to address immediate needs, as well as a long term
outreach plan with regard to recruiting. In order to fund the increase in costs associated with these
changes, the Sheriff will be deleting four (4) of the fourteen (14) vacant Deputy Sheriff allocations that
have been unfilled due to the inability to recruit qualified applicants. The Sheriff will also keep the
Undersheriff position unfilled through the balance of the current fiscal year, as well as the majority of
FY 2015-2016. The total annual cost to add 5% Basic POST Certificate incentive pay for Deputy Sheriff
and Sergeants in the DSA-General unit is $428,173. In order to fund the increase, the Sheriff proposes
deleting four (4) vacant Deputy Sheriff allocations, which will provide an annual savings of$383,737.
The balance of$44,436 will be funded by the Sheriff on an ongoing basis.The change to 12-Hour shifts
is designed to be cost neutral with no additional fiscal impact to the County General Fund — action
requested - 1) ADOPT THE SIDE LETTER WITH THE DSA-GENERAL UNIT THAT INCLUDES THE 5% BASIC
POST CERTIFICATE INCENTIVE PAY AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND 2) ADOPT THE SIDE
LETTER WITH THE DSA-GENERAL UNIT THAT INCLUDES THE ADDITION OF 12 HOUR SHIFTS AND A 2.5%
