AGENDA -APRIL 24, 2012
CHIEF 3.08* BudEet Adjustment -Part of the permit streamlining process within the County's
ADMINISTRATIVE Economic Development Strategy includes providing customer service training to staff
OFFICE that interact with the public. The County has negotiated an agreement with Butte
College to design training which can be provided to all departments and not just the
departments involved in land use permitting activities. In order to accurately account
for and allocate costs incurred for the benefit of all employees, it is recommended
that funding originally appropriated in the Administration Department's budget for
this purpose be moved to the Human Resources (HR) Department's budget. HR will
then incorporate the training into its regular training schedule. The one-time cost for
designing the content of the customer service training is $16,650. The contract will
cross fiscal years, so a budget adjustment of $7,000 is being requested for the current
fiscal year. The balance of the contract will be included in the FY 2012-2013
Recommended Budget that will come before the Board of Supervisors in June.
Eventually, the cost for the training will be allocated out to all County departments

California, through their local trial courts, has been collecting funds for the

projects is the New North Butte County Courthouse in Chico. In addition to improving
local Court operations, the project will create jobs, and will provide a location around
which other public and private services can be centered, creating the ability to
provide more efficient services to mutual constituents. It has recently come to the
County's attention that consideration is being given by the State Judicial Council to
redirect funds from this project, along with similar projects throughout the state, in
