3. CONSENT AGENDA
3.01 Resolution Establishing the Composition of the Members Representing Butte Countv on the
Citizens Advisory Commission for the Oroville Dam - On February 7, 2017, historically high water
levels in Lake Oroville, coupled with damaged primary and auxiliary spillways of the Oroville Dam,
led to the evacuation of approximately 200,000 residents in the communities of Oroville,
Palermo, Thermalito, Kelly Ridge, and low-lying areas in Yuba and Sutter Counties. In 2018, the
legislature passed Senate Bill 955 - Oroville Dam: Citizens Advisory Commission. The Citizens
Advisory Commission for the Oroville Dam (Commission) consists of representatives from various
State agencies, the State Senator representing the City of Oroville, and the State Assembly
Member representing the City of Oroville. Additionally, the Chair of the Commission shall invite:
two members appointed by the Oroville City Council; three members appointed by the Butte
County Board of Supervisors; two members appointed by the Sutter County Board of
Supervisors; two members appointed by the Yuba County Board of Supervisors; and a deputy
sheriff from each of the following jurisdictions: Butte County, Sutter County, and Yuba County.
The Commission functions as a liaison between the communities surrounding the Oroville Dam
and the dam operator and publishes a report regarding maintenance, improvements, and flood
mitigation. Staff recommends adopting a resolution establishing the composition of the three
members appointed by the Board to the Commission as follows: the two Supervisors who serve
on the Federal Energy Regulation Commission Relicensing Ad Hoc Committee; and one member
of the public. After adoption of a resolution establishing the composition of the members
representing Butte County on the Commission, staff will agendize a request for consideration of
the appointment of the public member after the Chair of the Commission has extended an
invitation to the County pursuant to Senate Bill 955 — action requested — ADOPT RESOLUTION
AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration)

created agency, the Wyandotte Creek Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA). The purpose of
the Wyandotte Creek GSA is to (a) develop, adopt, and implement a GSP for the Wyandotte Creek
subbasin in order to implement SGMA requirements and achieve the sustainability goals; and (b)

provisions in Article 7 to reflect that the Stakeholder Directors and Alternates are appointed by
the Butte County Board of Supervisors rather than the GSA Board — action requested - APPROVE

5.02 9:45 am — Agreement with the City of Chico and Durham Irrigation District Establishing the Joint
Exercise of Powers for the Vina Groundwater Sustainability Agency - On January 1, 2015, the
Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) went into effect. SGMA provides for local
public agencies with land use, water management, or water supply the opportunity to be
Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSA) with the responsibility for developing and
implementing Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSP). GSPs must evaluate the sustainability of
the basin and identify actions that will be implemented to achieve sustainability over a 20 year
period. Each subbasin must be covered by one or more GSPs by January 30, 2022. The Vina
subbasin overlies Butte County and is subject to SGMA. The GSAs in the Vina subbasin include
Butte County, the City of Chico, Durham Irrigation District, and the Rock Creek Reclamation
District. In 2018, the GSAs drafted an agreement for the purpose of establishing a governance
structure to develop the GSP for the Vina subbasin. The agreement was passed unanimously by
the Board of Supervisors on September 11, 2018, and by the Durham Irrigation District on
September 25, 2018. The City of Chico was prepared to consider adopting the agreement on
October 16, 2018, but on October 2, 2018, the Rock Creek Reclamation District decided to retain
its GSA status and not join the agreement. The agreement was redrafted to remove the Rock
Creek Reclamation District and to reflect a change in the appointment process of Stakeholder
Directors. The redrafted agreement is being brought to the Board for adoption — action
requested - 1) ADOPT AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND 2) AUTHORIZE
