3.10 Budget Adjustment for Butte County Fair Grounds Tree Replacement and Electrical Projects
Several years ago, the Ash trees lining the promenade through the Butte County Fairgrounds in
Gridley began to drop large limbs creating safety hazards. A multi-year program was
implemented to remove the trees and replace them with a more appropriate tree in a phased
approach. Plans called for a one-year suspension of the project to allow the replanted trees to
mature. However, a recent arborist report indicates that 14 of the remaining 27 trees along the
promenade pose significant risk and require prompt removal and the remaining 13 trees require
significant pruning.The estimated cost is$16,000.
In 2016, the California Department of Food and Agriculture awarded the Fair Association
$442,800 to address deferred maintenance. As part of the project, it was determined that the
Gridley electrical infrastructure needed to be upgraded at a cost of$25,000. Staff is requesting
that the Board approve a $41,000 budget adjustment from General Fund Contingences,$16,000
for trees and $25,000 for the electrical work — action requested - APPROVE BUDGET

4.04 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act Status Update - On September 16, 2014, Governor
Brown signed into law a package of bills (SB1168, AB1739 and SB1319) collectively called the
Sustainable Groundwater Management Act(SGMA). For basins that meet State priority criteria,
a local agency or a collection of local agencies must notify the Department of Water Resources
by June 30, 2017 of their intent to be a Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA). Counties are
presumed to be the GSA for the areas not within the jurisdictional boundaries of local public
agencies, such as water districts, and cities. GSAs are responsible for developing and
implementing Groundwater Sustainability Plans (Plans) by January 31, 2022 for basins not in
critical overdraft. Plans must evaluate the sustainability of the basin and identify actions that will
be implemented to achieve sustainability over a 20 year period.There are four subbasins in Butte
County subject to SGMA. Butte County elected to be a GSA in each of the four subbasins for areas
not covered by another agency. All of the GSAs have committed to work toward developing and
submitting a single Groundwater Sustainability Plan in each subbasin. To achieve that goal, a
governance structure must be developed in each subbasin. Through a facilitated process, the
GSAs in the Vina and Wyandotte Creek subbasins identified governance options and guiding
principles for public discussion. These options are presented to the Board of Supervisors for
informational purposes and possible direction to staff. In the spring, public workshops will be
held in each subbasin to solicit input. Based on public input, a recommendation will be made to
the Board of Supervisors for a governance structure in the Vina and Wyandotte Creek subbasins
—action requested - PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF. (Water and Resource Conservation)

agreement included a clause that specified if any payment was more than thirty days past
due that the agreement is rendered null and void and the County shall initiate cost
recovery via a property lien. The parcel owner paid the initial down payment of$500 on
April 7, 2017 and one payment on-time after that. Five past due letters were sent which
