3.06 Budget Adjustment for Disaster Recovery Initiative Loan Relief - In 2008, many Butte County
residents' homes were destroyed due to wildfires. The County applied for and received
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) dollars through the Disaster Recovery Initiative
(DRI) Program in 2010. The County was able to reconstruct 25 homes destroyed in the 2008
wildfires, predominantly in the Concow area, with the awarded CDBG DRI dollars. The
homeowners received seven-year forgivable loans to reconstruct their homes. The loans are
reduced by one-seventh each year as long as the homeowner maintains insurance, stays current
on property tax payments, and submits an annual Certificate of Occupancy. Tragically, most of
the 25 homes that were rebuilt after the 2008 fires, were destroyed again on November 8, 2018
in the Camp Fire. At the Board of Supervisors' December 11, 2018 meeting, the Board approved
relief of loan balances for CDBG DRI homeowners whose homes were destroyed again in the
Camp Fire. Staff is now requesting additional budget appropriations to complete the relief of
loan balances — action requested - APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED).

3.07 Budget Adjustment for State and Federal Emergency Reimbursement - The County is continuing
to respond to the Camp Fire, the most deadly and destructive wildfire in California history. The
response and recovery have required millions of dollars in expenses and substantial hours of staff
time, some of which will be reimbursed through State and federal programs. In January, the
County submitted an expedited claim for $15.3 million for portions of the emergency response.
The expedited claim provides an advance payment of approximately 50% of the estimated
reimbursable costs to help the County manage cash flow. The County expects to receive $6.7
million in the coming weeks. Over the coming months and years, the County will continue to
receive funds from both State and federal programs for reimbursable emergency related costs.
The County anticipates that these funds will be the subject of future audits. In an effort to ensure
very clear accounting for these funds, staff recommends a budget adjustment creating a new
non-operating fund that will receive all State and federal emergency reimbursement. The funds
will then be transferred to the appropriate operating fund. The General Services budget currently
includes anticipated State and federal emergency reimbursement funds, and the recommended
budget adjustment reduces the anticipated revenues in General Services and redirects the
revenue through the new fund — action requested - APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 VOTE
REQUIRED). (County Administration)
3.08 Letter to Butte Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) Supporting Extension of Sewer for
New Residential Development in the Chapman and Mulberry Neighborhoods - The Camp Fire
was the most destructive wildfire in California history. The fire burned nearly 14,000 homes in
the Town of Paradise and the unincorporated communities of Paradise Pines, Magalia, Concow,
Yankee Hill, Pulga, Butte Creek Canyon, Butte Valley, and surrounding areas. The Camp Fire
created a housing shortage throughout Butte County. Fire survivors continue to search for
temporary and permanent housing options, so they may remain in the community near their
jobs, medical providers, and community support systems. The demand for housing has created
several inquiries for residential development in the unincorporated portions of the Chapman and
Mulberry neighborhoods, including an affordable Habitat for Humanity housing project. The
Sewer Service Extension and Annexation Agreement between Butte LAFCo and City of Chico does
not allow connection to sewer for expansion of existing uses of development of vacant parcels
in the Chapman and Mulberry areas until annexation. This provision does not allow housing stock
to be built during this unprecedented housing shortage. The Board of Supervisors directed staff
to draft a letter to Butte LAFCo allowing sewer service to new residential development prior to
the Chapman and Mulberry annexations being recorded in July 2020. The Department of
Development Services would coordinate with the City of Chico Community Development
Department on processing development projects prior to the annexation — action requested —
APPROVE LETTER AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration)
3.09 Adoption of Ordinance Amending Chapters 26 and 28 of the Butte County Code - The
Department of Development Services introduced amendments to Chapter 26-2 and 28A-1 of the
Butte County Code on January 29, 2019, limiting the age of manufactured homes installed in the
County to 10 years. On a 4-0 vote, the Board of Supervisors waived the first reading of the
ordinance and provided direction to increase the age limit to 12 years. After further discussion
at the February 12, 2019 Board Meeting, the Board voted 3-2 vote in favor of amending the
ordinance to the originally proposed 10 -year age limit, and waived the first reading of the
amended ordinance — action requested - ADOPT ORDINANCE AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO
SIGN. (Development Services)

3.10 Contract Amendment with Intellix Solutions, LLC - The District Attorney's Office recommends
amending the contract with Intellix Solutions, LLC, to construct and test computer system
integrations between the new District Attorney's case management system, the case
management systems used by several law enforcement agencies, and the jail computer system.
The amendment increases the maximum amount payable by $20,800, not -to -exceed $102,800.

AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (District Attorney)
3.11 Resolution Adopting a Standard of Aid for General Assistance (GA) and Amendments to the
General Assistance Manual — The GA is a program which provides temporary financial aid to
eligible indigent County residents. The GA is mandated by law and is funded by County General
Fund. The Director of Employment and Social Services recommends that the Board of Supervisors
approve a resolution setting the GA rate at $369 per month effective April 1, 2019. This is an
increase of 10%. The Department estimates the total increase to be $44,880 through the
remainder of FY 2018-19. The rate increase is in accordance with State Welfare and Institution
Code section 17000.5, which links any adjustment made in the CalWORKs program to a
corresponding increase in the GA program — action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Employment and Social Services)
3.12 Notice of Completion and Ratification of Change Orders for Communication Infrastructure
Projects - On November 28, 2017, the Board of Supervisors awarded a $558,775 contract to L. D.
Strobel, Inc. for infrastructure projects at several Butte County communication sites. The projects
required a total of 10 change orders totaling $34,438, primarily targeted at improving electrical
grounding conditions, bringing the total cost of the projects to $593,213. All contract work has
been completed, inspected, and approved by the Department of Development Services, the
Department of Information Systems, and the Department of General Services. Staff recommends
that the Board ratify the change orders, accept the work as complete and execute the Notice of
Completion to be recorded —action requested —1) RATIFY THE CHANGE ORDERS; 2) ACCEPT THE
WORK AS COMPLETE; AND 3) AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN THE NOTICE OF COMPLETION.
(General Services)
3.13 Resolutions Regarding Salary and Benefits of Confidential, Non -Represented, and Executive
Assistant -County Supervisor, and Ratify Chief Administrative Officer Authorization of 24 hours of
Paid Time Off for Select Confidential Unit Employees - The majority of Butte County bargaining
unit agreements contain a provision that authorizes the Chief Administrative Officer to grant
additional administrative leave in certain extraordinary circumstances, such as disasters. This
provision is absent in the bargaining unit agreements for the Confidential, Non -Represented, and
Board of Supervisors Executive Assistants. In an effort to standardize the process for granting
additional administrative leave hours for exempt employees, the Department of Human
Resources recommends amending these resolutions to match the current provisions in place
with the other bargaining units. Additionally, the Chief Administrative Officer inadvertently
authorized 24 hours of paid time off for the Confidential Unit when she authorized additional
time off for similarly situated bargaining units, and recommends ratification of the paid time off
for the Confidential Unit— action requested —1) RATIFY 24 HOURS OF PAID TIME OFF FOR SELECT
CONFIDENTIAL UNIT EMPLOYEES; AND 2) ADOPT RESOLUTIONS (3) AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR
TO SIGN. (Human Resources)
