animal control services for depredating wild animals such as trapping skunks and raccoons. The
USDA's Wildlife Specialist addresses the loss of livestock, wildlife rabies, and prevention of property
damage associated with predatory animals. Butte County will provide for approximately 63% of the
total cost of the program by reimbursing the USDA in an amount not to exceed $69,472. APHIS-WS

provides services in the specialized field of psychiatry as required for adult clients at the Butte
County Department of Behavioral Health outpatient centers. Dr. Lancaster also participates in after-

3.05* Resolution Increasing the County Clerk-Recorder Change Funds -The County Clerk-Recorder requests
approval of a resolution increasing the Department's change funds from $700 to $1,050. The current
level of change funds in the Hall of Records is insufficient for the daily volume of cash transactions.
The action would also increase total cash drawers from five to six to better meet operational needs.
The Auditor-Controller supports the requested increase — action requested — ADOPT RESOLUTION
AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Clerk- Recorder)
3.06* Continuation of Local Drought Proclamation — On July 22, 2015, the Chief Administrative Officer
declared a local emergency caused by drought, which was proclaimed by the Governor on January
17, 2014. On July 28, 2015,the Board of Supervisors reaffirmed and ratified the proclamation of local
emergency associated with drought. State law requires that the Board of Supervisors review the
need for continuing the local emergency every 30 days. As the State continues through its fifth year
of drought, Butte County is feeling the effects as there continue to be landowners with dry wells. At
this point, the final duration of the emergency has not yet been determined — action requested —
CONFIRM THE NEED FOR CONTINUING THE PROCLAMATION OF A LOCAL EMERGENCY; AND ADOPT
RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration)

of Supervisors adopt a resolution recognizing County employees for their dedication to providing
important services that are an integral part of improving the quality of life for our residents. As part
of public service recognition, the County is launching an initiative through its Leadership Academy to
highlight the work of individual employees. The initiative will include a series of employee profiles to
showcase employees throughout the County and to recognize the tremendous work they do to serve
residents. The first employee profiles will be presented during the Budget Hearing at the June 28,
2016 Board of Supervisors meeting — action requested — ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE
CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration)
APRIL 26,2016-BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA PAGE 2 OF 11
3.09* Resolution Recognizing May 2016 as Building Safety Month and Amnesty Program for May and June
2016 — Building Safety Month (May 2016) and the Permit Amnesty Program (May 1, 2016 through
June 30, 2016) are aimed at protecting public health, home/business owner's safety, and the
environment by encouraging property owners to complete the County's permit process. These
efforts are designed to ensure construction meets acceptable standards and to educate the public
about building codes through outreach activities. The Amnesty Program provides property and
business owners the opportunity to apply for permits for buildings, additions, and remodels not
previously permitted with the following assistance: the 60% investigative building permit penalty
fees would not be imposed; and a staff member will be assigned to assist the property owners
through the application process. Compliance with the building permit process can assist property
owners who may have their properties on the market where the sale may be jeopardized due to
unpermitted work. Residential, industrial, and commercial unpermitted construction work or
unpermitted commercial occupancies are eligible for the Amnesty Program — action requested —
ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND APPROVE A BUILDING PERMIT
AMNESTY PROGRAM FOR MAY 1, 2016 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2016 IN WHICH THE 60% PENALTY FEE
WOULD NOT BE IMPOSED ON ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS. (Development Services)
3.10* Resolution to Amend the Salary Ordinance — The Department of Human Resources has prepared a
resolution to amend the Salary Ordinance for the following departments: Behavioral Health, Child
Support Services, Human Resources and Sheriff's Department. These changes will increase the total
allocations in the County by 1 FTE.
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH: requests to change two (2) .50 Medical Records Technician, Senior/Medical
Records Technician to two (2) full time positions. The department has struggled to fill half-time
positions and has needs for additional medical records support in the Oroville and Gridley clinics.The
additional cost associated with this change within FY 2015-16 will be covered with current salary and
benefit savings.
Behavioral Health also requests to delete one (1) vacant Accountant and add one (1) flexibly staffed
Administrative Analyst to the department's administrative support team. A new analyst position is
needed in the Billing Unit to analyze State data and reports related to Medi-Cal and Drug Medi-Cal
claims. There is a cost savings associated with this change. In addition, the department requests to
delete one (1) vacant Personnel Operations Specialist position that is no longer needed and add one
(1) Supervisor, Support Services for additional Substance Use Disorder (SUD) clerical supervision.
SUD services and charting requirements are substantially different than mental health services
requirements, and a clerical supervisor is needed in the SUD area. The additional cost associated
with this change within FY 2015-16 will be covered with current salary and benefit savings.
Behavioral Health requests to add one (1) Program Manager, Clinical Services for the Substance Use
Disorder (SUD) Division. Currently there is only one Program Manager for the entire SUD Division
with clinics in both North County and South County. This management span is too broad. In
preparation for the upcoming changes to the Drug Medi-Cal program it has been determined that
additional program management is required allowing for complete program oversight in each clinic.
With the aforementioned changes the total allocations in the department will increase by two (2)
FTE. Any increase in cost is covered within the department's budget. There will be no additional
budget impact to the General Fund.
APRIL 26,2016-BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA PAGE 3 OF 11
CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES: requests to delete one (1) vacant Program Manager, Child Support
Services and one (1) vacant Supervisor, Child Support Services and add two (2) flexibly staffed Child
Support Specialist III/II/I. These changes will reduce staffing costs and increase the department's
ability to meet operational needs. There are cost savings associated with these changes. There is no
impact to the General Fund.
HUMAN RESOURCES: At the March 22, 2016, Board of Supervisors meeting an Assistant Chief
Financial Officer was eliminated from County Administration and an Assistant Chief Administrative
Officer was added. The staff report included the accompanying adjustment to the salary range for
the Assistant Chief Administrative Officer in accordance with resolution 15-180, section 1.6a, but this
change was inadvertently left out of the resolution. This item corrects that omission and updates the
salary range from 89 to 93.
SHERIFF-CORONER: requests to delete one (1) vacant Accountant, Senior/Accountant. This deletion
is the result of an internal promotion and will decrease the department's total allocations by one (1).
There is no impact on the General Fund — action requested —ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE
THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Human Resources)
3.11* Lisa Creamer O'Donnell, Counseling Services Contract—The Probation Department requests approval
for a contract with Lisa Creamer O'Donnell, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, to provide
counseling services, including assessment, treatment, counseling and case management, to at risk
youth and families through Juvenile Hall. Funding will be provided by the Juvenile Justice Crime
Prevention Act (JJCPA). The term of the contract is July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019, and the
maximum amount payable is $480,000—action requested —APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE
THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Probation)
3.12* Letter of Support for Senate Bill (SB) 1004 - Transitional Youth Diversion Program — Staff requests
approval of a letter of support for SB 1004 (Hill), which would allow Butte County to establish a pilot
transitional youth diversion program for eligible defendants. The bill would allow transitional age
youth access to age-appropriate rehabilitative services available through the juvenile justice system.
The opportunity with this population of youthful offenders lies in the fact that they have not yet
become ingrained in a lifestyle of crime. It is anticipated that an enhanced level of supervision and
mentoring, coupled with assisting the youth to connect to local resources (e.g. educational
programs, vocational programs, and appropriate counseling), they can overcome their challenges
and deficiencies and successfully reintegrate into the community. The primary goal will be to effect
positive, pro-social behavioral change. Objectives include assisting the youth in remaining drug and
alcohol-free, developing pro-social skills and strengthening family relationships, facilitating their
educational and/or vocational goals, and coordinating employment activities — action requested —
APPROVE LETTER AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Probation)
3.13* Tuberculosis Allotment Funding Agreement for Additional Funds for FY 2015-16 — The department
currently has an agreement with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to receive
funding in the amount of $14,497 for FY 2015-16 to provide services related to tuberculosis (TB)
control services in Butte County. The main priorities of this grant are: 1) Identify and treat persons
who have active TB and ensure they complete appropriate therapy; and 2) Find and evaluate persons
who have been in contact with TB patients to determine whether they have TB infection or disease
and provide them with appropriate treatment. CDPH is making an additional $3,882 available to the
department for these TB services for FY 2015-16. The new maximum amount receivable under this
agreement is $18,379. The term of the agreement remains July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 —
action requested — APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND APPROVE
BUDGET ADJUSTMENT(4/5 vote required). (Public Health)

3.14* Authorization to Request Proposals for Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF), Project No.
757-5913-12 —The Butte County Department of Public Works continues to work on short and long
range plans for the NRRWF. The Facility's fill sequencing plan calls for additional waste containment
units to be developed over the next several years. In preparation for excavation of the new waste
containment units,the septage ponds will need to be decommissioned.There are two septage ponds
at the facility; a primary (solids) pond and a supernatant pond. Removal of the supernatant pond is
scheduled for 2017. The primary pond, which is approximately 80%filled with solids, will need to be
partially emptied to provide additional capacity for the rain season of 2017-18. The County
contracted to remove 2,000 dry-equivalent tons from the primary pond in 2007. Emptying the
primary septage pond involves removing the solids, drying, and burying in the landfill. A feasibility
study conducted in 2013 indicated that there are approximately 6,000 dry-equivalent tons of solids
in the primary pond. Staff is requesting to release a Request for Proposals to remove approximately
3,000 dry-equivalent tons of solids. Staff anticipates this process will provide approximately five feet
of capacity for the rain season. Without the supernatant pond available for the overflow from the
primary pond, it will be critical to manage the liquid level in the primary pond prior to the rain
season. Staff anticipates the remaining solids will need to be removed in FY 2018-19 or 2019-20 —
action requested—AUTHORIZE PUBLIC WORKS TO ISSUE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. (Public Works)
3.15* Budget Adjustment for County Service Area 128 (CSA 128) - Wildflower Estates — CSA 128 provides
street lighting, drainage, and fire protection services for 30 parcels in north Chico in the area of
Herford Drive and Wild Rose Circle. Butte County Fire, which provides fire protection for the area,
was recently notified the fire protection system for the subdivision required repairs to the fire
protection pump and well off of Herford Drive. The repairs included replacement of a number of
items including a jockey pump, gate valve, pressure tank pad, and control box. The total cost of
repairs were $4,306.27. These repairs were not anticipated in the current fiscal year budget for CSA-
128 and were not budgeted. Public Works staff requests a budget adjustment to appropriate funds
for the repairs — action requested — APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 vote required). (Public
Works)
3.16* Resolution Certifying Annual Changes to Butte County Maintained Mileage — Section 2121 of the
California Streets and Highways Codes and Chapter 18 of the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures
Manual requires counties submit a listing of changes that have occurred to their list of maintained
roads by May of each year. The County's submitted data is then forwarded by Caltrans to the State
Controller for the allocation of State Gas Tax Funds. Caltrans District 3 Office of Local Assistance has
requested the Board of Supervisors approve a resolution prior to May 15th, 2016 for the new
maintained mileage even if there have been no changes. The County maintained mileage for the
previous year (ending December 31, 2015) was determined to be 1,299.205 miles. The calculated
mileage to be submitted this year is 1,289.956 miles, which is a decrease of 9.249 miles. This
decrease is primarily due to annexations to the City of Oroville. The changes to the maintained
mileage are shown in red in the Summary of Changes in the staff report—action requested—ADOPT
RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)
3.17* Cal Fire Fire Prevention Fee Grant Award —The State of California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection (Cal Fire) has awarded the Butte County Department of Public Works a fire fuels reduction
grant in the amount of$47,426 for clearing brush within the road rights-of-way along approximately
12 miles of Cherokee and Pentz Roads. The work will be done using hand-clearing crews from the
Sheriff's Alternative Custody Program and the Cal Fire Conservation Camp Crews of Salt Creek. The
fuels reduction work is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2016 and to be concluded before the
summer of 2017. The Department recommends the Board accept the grant award and authorize the
Director of Public Works to execute the grant documents on behalf of Butte County — action
requested—ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)

provide the ability to conduct scenarios of changed conditions (e.g. land use, drought, climate
change). The department recommends extending the agreement expiration from May 7, 2016 to

S. Public Hearings and Timed Items
5.01* 9:40 a.m.—Public Hearing— Award of Contract to Richard Heath and Associates, Inc., for the County
Lighting Project — One of the maintenance projects budgeted for FY 2015-16 is the upgrade of
lighting across 22 County buildings. Richard Heath & Associates, Inc (RHA) is the vendor that has
been selected by Pacific Gas and Electric to implement this phase of their lighting efficiency program.
Compensation due RHA under this project includes a County fixed price contract totaling
$158,438.40 and acceptance of the PG&E rebate totaling $45,085.34. With an estimated annual
savings of approximately $46,055 in energy costs alone, the overall payback estimate for this project
is approximately 3.44 years. With a life expectancy of over 50,000 hours,this project will continue to
accrue savings for the County for many years into the future. In addition, the newer lighting
components, especially LED technology, has been proven to dramatically reduce power
consumption, reduce maintenance costs due to longer bulb replacement cycles, and at the same
time reduce waste stream impacts as new models of LED lights have virtually no hazardous waste
materials inherent in their construction. Although pricing was obtained from multiple sources and all
found to be higher than the RHA cost for the project, staff recommends that the Board authorize the
utilization of Public Contract Code section 4217, allowing for the sole source selection and contract
execution of energy contracts that are in the best interest of the County and when the anticipated
cost for the energy project is less than the anticipated energy savings to be derived from those
services. Public Contract Code section 4217.12 and 4217.13 specify that local governments may
enter into such energy contracts upon determination by the Board made at a regularly held public
hearing—action requested — 1) AUTHORIZE THE USE OF PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE SECTION 4217 FOR
THIS LIGHTING PROJECT; 2)AWARD THE CONTRACT TO RICHARD HEATH AND ASSOCIATES, INC., AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND 3) APPOINT THE GENERAL SERVICES DIRECTOR AS OFFICER OF
THE PROJECT. (General Services)
5.02* 9:45 a.m. —Timed Item— Letter of Support for Proposition 1 Funding for Sites Reservoir-The Chair of
the Butte County Water Commission appointed a subcommittee in August 2013 to investigate the
Sites Reservoir storage project, which is proposed to be located in the Sites Valley in Colusa County.
The subcommittee presented its findings to the full Water Commission at its November 2014
meeting. There was no recommendation from the Commission at that time so the subcommittee
report was forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for information at its January 13, 2015 meeting.
The Board provided direction to staff at its September 29, 2015 meeting to bring the item back to the
Water Commission. The Sites subcommittee was reconvened by the Water Commission to further
evaluate the project and provide a recommendation.The Commission considered a recommendation
from the subcommittee and voted 5 to 3 (Commissioners Archuleta, Scott, and Washington voted
against the motion) at its April 6, 2016 meeting to recommend to the Board send a letter to the
California Water Commission in support of Proposition 1 funding for Sites Reservoir — action
requested — APPROVE THE LETTER AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Water and Resource
