SOCIAL SERVICES adjustment to set up the Public Safety/Health and Human Services Realignment
special revenue fund to meet the requirements of Assembly Bill 118 (AB 118). AB 118

those revenues from the new local revenue fund to operating department budgets.
The Transitional Housing Program (THP Plus) is one of the realigned programs. The
Department has received an allocation each year for THP Plus and budgeted those
funds in the Department's operating budget each year, as it did with the FY
2011/2012 allocation of $399,784. Due to the realignment of the program after the

3.13* BudEet Adjustment for the Installation of an Uninterruptable Power Supply for
County Servers - In the event of an electrical power failure in Oroville, the main

automatically power the County computer servers for the few moments it takes the
main generator to take over. During routine testing of the main generator on
February 21, 2012, the main UPS failed to operate and the County servers shut down.
Although temporary measures have been implemented in an effort to help ensure
system integrity in the event of a true power outage, staff recommends implementing
this project immediately instead of as scheduled for next fiscal year. Staff is
requesting a budget adjustment of $120,000 from General Fund Appropriation for
Contingencies to complete necessary design work and modifications to the electrical
components servicing 308 Nelson Avenue in Oroville to accommodate the new UPS.
Approval of the budget adjustment will commit funds to the UPS replacement project
and reduce General Fund Appropriation for Contingencies by $120,000, thereby
reducing carryover available fund balance for the next fiscal year by the same
amount. The balance in the General Fund Appropriation for Contingencies was
$1,000,703 on February 21, 2012 - action requested - APPROVE BUDGET
ADJUSTMENTS (4/5 vote required) AND DESIGNATE THE GENERAL SERVICES
DIRECTOR AS OFFICER OF THE PROJECT.

through the Local Law Enforcement Services Account. In order to maintain
consistency and accounting accuracy with the local Public Safety and Human Services
Fund (Fund 55) recently established by the Board of Supervisors, a budget adjustment
is required to shift appropriations to the appropriate fund and accounts. The budget
adjustment will establish appropriations within Fund 55, and move revenue

Pusuc 3.17* Adoption of Ordinance AmendinE Chapter 4 of the Butte County Code RelatinE to
HEALTH Animals -Butte County Animal Control staff were recently made aware that neither
the State of California codes 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, and that there is no provision in either
state or local code addressing exotic animals running at large. The proposed
amendment to Chapter 4-Animals of the Butte County Code 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 Department learned that during the last update of the animal
control ordinance, language regarding fair hearing processes dealing with kennel
licenses was inadvertently left out. The proposed additional language 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
the kennel permit holder -action requested -ADOPT ORDINANCE AND AUTHORIZE
THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (From 2-14-11 [Item 5.01])

AUDITOR-CONTROLLER.
3.19* Northern Valley Indian Health, Inc. (NVIH) -The Public Health Department has been

Pusuc 3.20* Authorization to Advertise for the Construction of Landfill Gas Wells at the Neal Road
WORKS RecyclinE and Waste Facility -The Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility is in
compliance with surface emission monitoring regulations for the closed section of the
landfill. With the implementation of California's AB32 Landfill Methane Rule, the
detection threshold has been lowered for which compliance is required and a
requirement added to install a gas collection system in active waste cells that contain
waste greater than 2-years old. Sampling in the active area suggests that surface
emissions may be detected above the new compliance threshold. As apro-active
measure, staff has submitted a landfill gas collection system expansion design to the
California Air Resources Board, thereby postponing the requirement to monitor
surface emissions in the active waste cells until the landfill gas collection system has
been expanded.
To comply with the AB32 Landfill Methane Rule, the Neal Road Recycling and Waste
Facility needs to install additional landfill gas collection wells within 18 months of the
California Air Resources Board's approval. Staff will install the additional gas collection
wells, upon Board approval to take advantage of royalties from the sale of electricity
that will be generated by the additional landfill gas produced by these new wells.
Staff will return to the Board at a later date for consideration of award of contract.
The engineer's estimate is $275,000. There are sufficient appropriations in the Fixed
Asset expenditure account for the current fiscal year for this project. Staff will not
complete a scale relocation infrastructure project this fiscal year and instead will use
those funds for this project -action requested -AUTHORIZE THE DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC WORKS TO ADVERTISE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF ELEVEN LANDFILL GAS
COLLECTION WELLS AT THE NEAL ROAD RECYCLING AND WASTE FACILITY.
TREASURER 3.21* Public Auction Sale of Tax-Defaulted Properties -The Treasurer-Tax Collector has
TAX COLLECTOR submitted a request, in accordance with Chapter 7 of Part 6 of Division 1 of the
California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3698, to sell at public auction via the
Internet for the stated minimum price, the tax-defaulted properties which are subject
to the power of sale. The department has tentatively scheduled the auction for June
16 - 19, 2012. Any funds received through the auction will pay back taxes and fees
associated with the properties. Any excess proceeds may be claimed by parties of
interest. Excess proceeds that are not claimed will be deposited in the General Fund -
action requested -APPROVE AND SIGN THE REQUEST FOR APPROVAL TO SELL TAX-
DEFAULTED PROPERTY SUBJECT TO THE POWER OF SALE.

WATER AND 3.22* 2011 Groundwater Status Report and Basin ManaEement Objectives -Pursuant to
RESOURCE Chapter 33 and Chapter 33A of the Butte County Code, the department is required to
CONSERVATION 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
Objective (BMO) program. The 2011 Groundwater Status Report includes the BMO
report, data on groundwater conditions, a summary of hydrologic conditions and a
description of the monitoring network. In previous years, the BMO report was
submitted as a separate document. In 2011, the BMO Ordinance was amended to
allow for the incorporation of the BMO report into the Groundwater Status Report.
The BMO documents for each of the 16 sub-inventory units include groundwater level
trend summaries, hydrographs depicting groundwater levels over time and a
comparison of monitoring data to BMO levels. The BMO Ordinance specifies the
methodologies for BMOs (i.e., desirable groundwater conditions) and Alert Stages
when BMOs are not reached. In 2011, hydrologic conditions improved after four
below-normal water years. With favorable hydrologic conditions, groundwater levels
continued to improve throughout Butte County. The number of wells that reached a
BMO Alert Stage declined in 2011. No evidence of saline intrusion or land subsidence
were identified. The 2011 Groundwater Status Report was reviewed by the Technical
Advisory Committee on January 19th and by the Water Commission on February 1St _

Aeenda Format and The agenda is usually organized into the following areas and meetings generally proceed in the following
Meetine Order: order:
1. Consent Aeenda: these are items that are considered routine and are handled by one motion and vote of
the Board. If you wish to discuss any item on the Consent Agenda you can either fill out a speaker card
(located in the back of the board room) and give it to the Clerk of the Board (sitting to the right of the
Board) or, when the Chair asks if there is anything anyone would like to remove from the Consent
Agenda, stand and approach the podium and request the item be removed. The removed items are
discussed at the end of the Regular Agenda.
2. Reeular Aeenda: this is where presentations to the Board and items that require full discussion are
heard. Items removed from the Consent Agenda are discussed under this section.
3. Public Hearine and Timed Items: this is where items that are required by law to be heard as a public
hearing are set. This is the section where appeals before the Board are usually discussed. Hearings may
start after the time listed, but will never start before the time listed.
4. Public Comment: this is the area of the agenda where members of the audience may address the Board
on any matter not listed on the agenda. The Board, by law, cannot take action on any matter not listed
on the agenda, but may respond to statements or questions and provide staff direction.
5. Closed Session: the Board is authorized, by law, to meet in a closed session in certain circumstances.
This area of the agenda identifies those items that will be discussed during the closed session.
