million. The revenue is distributed to counties to accomplish an enhanced system of care for
mental health services. One component of the MHSA is innovation projects. The Mental Health
Services Oversight Accountability Commission (MHSOAC) controls funding approval for all
innovation projects. Innovation projects must introduce a mental health practice or approach
that is new to the overall mental health system. In Butte County,a 30-day public comment period
was initiated on November 1, 2017 and concluded on December 1, 2017. Community meetings
were held in Oroville, Gridley, Chico, and Paradise. Public comment was captured through these
meetings, emails, and through an electronic survey, in order to incorporate community
participation and feedback for the proposed projects, and to solicit new ideas based on
community need. On November 15, 2017, the Behavioral Health Board recommended the
current innovation project proposal, Physician Committed Program, to be sent to the Board of
Supervisors for approval as required by the MHSOAC. The Physician Committed Program is
designed to transform the healthcare setting that traditionally focuses on physical health into a
comprehensive healthcare setting that includes mental and emotional health. The program will
be staffed by County employees who will partner with local physicians to standardize the
processes and protocol used for screening adolescents for mental health and substance use
issues. It is estimated that the total cost of the project will be$767,900 over a three-year period

Groundwater Status Report includes a summary of hydrologic conditions for the 2017 water
year,which is October 2016 through September 2017, groundwater conditions, results from the
water quality trend monitoring program, land subsidence data, and the 2018 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,
such as desirable groundwater conditions, and Alert Stages, such as conditions relative to
historical lows. 2017 was classified as a wet water year in the Sacramento Valley with record high
precipitation on the Northern Sierra 8-Station index. Groundwater levels came up significantly,
especially in groundwater dependent areas where they had declined the most during the
drought. Yet, there are still a number of wells near historical lows in some areas. 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 10, 2018 and was presented to the Water Commission on February 7,
2018. Individual BMO reports and the appendices are available online at
