3.11 An Ordinance Creating Butte County Code Section 34C Entitled Nonmedical Marijuana Ordinance
- On November 8, 2016, voters of the State of California approved Proposition 64, entitled the
"Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act" (the "Adult Use of Marijuana Act" or the
"AUMA").The AUMA generally provides that individuals 21 Years of age and older may cultivate
up to six nonmedical marijuana plants within a private residence, or upon the grounds of a
private residence, and allows counties to enact "reasonable regulations" to regulate cultivation
activities, including the ability to require that cultivation take place indoors. Accordingly, the
County has prepared the Butte County Nonmedical Marijuana Ordinance, Chapter 34C of the
Butte County Code, to regulate nonmedical marijuana cultivation in Butte County. Chapter 34C
of the Butte County Code is modeled after Chapter 34A of the Butte County Code, which
regulates the cultivation of medical marijuana. The primary difference between the two
ordinances is that Chapter 34C of the Butte County Code requires nonmedical marijuana
cultivation to take place indoors only on all parcels less than 5 acres in size, but allows
nonmedical marijuana cultivation to take place either indoors or outdoors on parcels 5 acres in
size and larger. Chapter 34C was introduced on January 24, 2017, and during discussion of the
ordinance, a concern was raised regarding the applicable setback requirement for indoor and
outdoor grows as set out in 34C-8. After clarification, the Board voted to waive the first reading
of the ordinance—action requested -ADOPT ORDINANCE AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

Enloe Medical Center for a portion of 560 Cohasset Road with a lease rate of$1.14 per square
foot, including utilities and maintenance, for a total monthly payment of$2,508.This portion of
the facility houses the AB-109 program.Subsequently, it was determined that the square footage
of the suite is actually 4,500 square feet. Instead of operating the program in a 2,200 square
foot space, the department wishes to retain the full 4,500 square feet. In an effort to minimize
the fiscal impact from the resultant increase in the size and rent, Enloe has agreed to maintain
the original fixed monthly payment of$2,508, a rate of$.557333 per square foot, for the first
five years of this agreement. Beginning in year six, the monthly rent payment will escalate to
$3,543 per month with a rate of$ .787333 per square foot and remain fixed through year ten. In
year eleven,the monthly rent payment will escalate to$6,255 per month for a rate of$1.39 per
square foot and remain fixed through the term of this agreement.All other terms and conditions
of this agreement will remain in full force and effect, including the option to extend for an
additional 120 month period. Funding for this lease is included in the budget—action requested

The Butte County Department of Behavioral Health currently provides public services from the
leased facility at 865 Mitchell Avenue, Oroville, under a lease due to terminate February 28,
2017. The department seeks to continue these services and renew the existing lease with new
terms and conditions. The current lease has a lease rate of $0.85382 per square foot, with a
payment of$3,927.60. Under the new lease, the rate will drop to $0.58 per square foot, with a
monthly payment of$2,668 for the first twenty-four months. The lease rate will then escalate
2%, going to$2,721.36 per month, and will remain fixed through the term of the lease.The rent
reduction results in a net savings of approximately $37,505.28 over the term of the lease. This
new lease, with the ability to terminate due to lack of funding, has a planned termination date
of February 28, 2020, and includes the option to extend for an additional sixty-month period.

Creek Drive Area - The Department of Public Works received a petition to vacate (abandon)
portions of unnecessary public rights of way in the Rock Creek Drive area north of Rock Creek.
The proposed street to be vacated is the westerly extension of Rock Creek Drive from the north
end of the County maintained portion of Rock Creek Drive. Rock Creek Drive, originally Rock
Creek-Cana Road, was originally brought into the County's road system via a Road Viewers
Report and Map issued in 1896. The map was recorded in Book 3 of Maps at Page 97 with the
County Recorder. The road was first officially delineated on the County's Official Map of 1901.
The road continued to be shown on the County's official maps until 1942; the last Year official
maps were prepared. After the last official map, the road was dropped from the County's
Maintained road list and is currently shown as a private road on county maps. There is no actual
road in the location shown on the maps and the length of the road abandonment referred to in
this request crosses two privately owned properties. The Department of Public Works has no
objection to the vacation. The vacated portions of these streets will be Quit Claimed to the
following parcels: APN 047-230-001, Lowe; APN 047-170-094, Hall; and APN 047-510-005,

3.26 Agreement with State of California for Inmate Medical Expenses - The State of California has
implemented a program that may save the County money. When an inmate requires medical
care outside the jail facility, the Sheriff's Office, in conjunction with the Sheriff's contracted
medical services provider, California Forensics Medical Group, pays for the inmate's hospital
stay.The State of California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) is administering a Medi-
Cal program for eligible inmates housed in county jail facilities; the program is called the Medi-
Cal Inmate Program (MCIP). The MCIP allows hospitals to directly invoice the State for medical
services provided to inmates who are admitted to the hospital and MCIP pays the hospital
directly at Medi-Cal rates. MCIP then invoices the County for the required match funds. DHCS
requires an agreement stating the maximum payable for the fiscal Year. The first quarter of the
program begins April 1, 2017.The first agreement addresses April 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017,
with a maximum payable by the State of$125,000 and an MCIP administrative service charge of
$825.94.The second agreement addresses JuIY 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, with a maximum
payable of $475,000 and an administrative charge of $2,722.58. Participating counties are

service providers. The maximum payable amount is an estimate based on possible claims and
history of hospital expenses —action requested —APPROVE AGREEMENTS (2) AND AUTHORIZE

3.27 Coalition Letter to Governor Brown Regarding the Bay-Delta Water Quality Plan - The State
Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), under their authority to establish water rights and
water quality requirements to protect human,fish,and wildlife uses, is in the process of updating
the Bay-Delta Water Quality Plan.The update of the Bay-Delta Water Quality Plan is referred to
as the Substitute Environmental Document. The SWRCB is pursuing the update in two phases.
Phase I is ongoing and will set water quality standards for the major tributaries to the San Joaquin
River(Stanislaus,Tuolumne, and Merced Rivers). Phase II will set enforceable flow standards for
the Sacramento River and its tributaries. On October 19, 2016, the SWRCB released a draft
scientific report for the Sacramento River (Phase II). The draft scientific report will be the basis
for regulatory standards of the Bay-Delta Water Quality Plan. The approach taken in the draft
scientific report would result in devastating impacts to the region's agricultural economy and
water supplies. The counties in the Sacramento Valley region (Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Tehama,
Shasta, Sutter, Placer,Yolo,Yuba, and Sacramento) have common interests in having the SWRCB

4.04 Items Removed from the Consent Agenda for Board Consideration and Action
4.05 Business Systems Resilience - During the Saddle Fire in September 2016, the County suffered a
two-day loss of Internet connectivity directly attributed to the fire. The loss of Internet
connectivity neutralized County web and email services. As a result, the Public Information
Officer had difficulty communicating relevant information to citizens and officials during the
event. In addition, daily business functions in each department were negatively affected which
resulted in reduced service delivery. Staff has developed a plan of action to strengthen existing
systems and improve the reliability of Internet connectivity. The first step is to add a redundant
Internet connection, which will improve protection against outages that could affect County
services. The new Internet connection requires the capital purchase of additional firewall
security equipment. Staff will return at a later date for approval of a contract with a consultant
who will work with staff to perform a comprehensive systems assessment identifying gaps in
capability, capacity and resilience of network and connectivity, suggesting appropriate cloud
services, and strengthening existing systems as necessary. In order to continue the project, staff
requests authorization of a capital equipment purchase of firewall equipment. Since Internet
connectivity is critical to daily operations in the department, the Clerk-Recorder has agreed to
fund up to $30,000 of the systems resilience project to establish a more robust, redundant
connection. Staff recommends transfer of $55,000 in General Fund Appropriation for
