3.15* Support for AB 610 - Child Support: Suspension of Order - Assembly Bill 610 (AB 610) will extend
existing law, scheduled to sunset on July 1, 2015, to January 1, 2020. Current law authorizes the
suspension of child support orders in the event the obligor is incarcerated or involuntarily
institutionalized for more than 90 days, with specified exceptions. When non-custodial parents are
incarcerated or involuntarily institutionalized, their support obligation continues unabated and
interest accrues on the unpaid debt, unless they seek a modification of their child support order. An
obligor must petition the court upon release from incarceration or involuntary institutionalization for
an adjustment of the arrears, but few obligors do so. There is a need to make this program work for
all parties involved. AB 610 gives the local child support agencies the power to make the administrative
adjustments to the child support arrearages, provided no party objects. The ability to adjust payments
will allow obligors to have a manageable payment and will improve their ability to pay. Studies show
that as obligors fall further behind on their payments, the less likely it is they will make the payments

3.34* May 2015 -Water and Watershed Awareness Month Resolution- California water agencies have
celebrated May as Water Awareness Month since 1989. May brings warmer weather and an
opportunity to remind us all to use water wisely inside and outside the home, especially in this fourth
year of drought. The Save Our Water Campaign is a statewide program aimed at helping Californians
reduce their everyday water use. This public education campaign shows consumers the many ways to
conserve water and permanently reduce water use. The California Watershed Network launched
California's first annual Watershed Awareness Month in May 2005. Throughout the month of May,
volunteer community organizations, educators, and other groups are encouraged to promote the
importance of watersheds at the grass-roots and community levels by organizing and conducting
watershed awareness activities. In light of these statewide efforts, Butte County along with other local
watershed groups and water agencies would like to join with others around the state to encourage

4.06* Resolution Recognizing May 2015 as Building Safety Month and Amnesty Program for May and June
2015 - The Building Safety Month (May 2015) and the Permit Amnesty Program (through June 30,
2015) 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 intended benefits: 1) The 60% investigative building permit penalty fees would not be
imposed; and 2) Assignment of a staff member to assist the property owners through the application
process. Compliance with the building permit process can assist those property owners that 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 – 1) ADOPT RESOLUTION AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND 2) APPROVE A BUILDING PERMIT AMNESTY PROGRAM
THROUGH JUNE 30, 2015 TO WAIVE THE 60% PENALTY FEE FOR ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS. (Development

5 9:40 a.m. –Timed Item -Resolution of Necessity to Acquire Certain Property by Eminent Domain for
.02*
the Lincoln Boulevard Pedestrian Safety Project - The Public Works Department has been involved in
negotiations to acquire right of way and easements for the Lincoln Blvd. Pedestrian Safety Project,
Federal Project No HSIPL 5912-03(087). The project as designed is intended to reduce accidents
involving pedestrians in the area, particularly children going to the area schools. The County and its
consultant have negotiated with 39 owners of 45 parcels. To date, the County has been successful in
reaching an agreement with 35 of the 39 owners. Before the County can advertise for construction
of the project, the County must first certify to CalTrans, by August 30, 2015, that: 1) it has acquired
the necessary right of way or 2) it can obtain an order of possession from the courts. The right of way
negotiations for the following four property owners have reached the point of impasse: Jeffrey L.
Cooper; APN 035-211-007 & 035-213-023, Carol L. Froelick; APN 035-213-013, Audrie Kleinert; APN
035-222-046 and Ronald and Patricia Stilwell; APN 035-222-040. In order to complete the project, the
County needs to begin the process of acquisition by eminent domain. To meet the time frame
necessary to certify the right of way the County must first adopt the Resolutions of Necessity before
the Orders of Possession can be requested – action requested –
1) CONDUCT THE HEARING TO CONSIDER THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTIONS OF NECESSITY TO
ACQUIRE CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY OR INTEREST IN REAL PROPERTY BY EMINENT DOMAIN FROM
EACH OF THE FOUR PARTIES LISTED ABOVE; AND
2) UPON COMPLETION OF THE HEARING, DETERMINE WHETHER THE FOUR CONDITIONS REQUIRED
BY THE STATE GOVERNMENT CODE HAVE BEEN MET. IF THE FOUR CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN MET,
ADOPT THE RESOLUTIONS OF NECESSITY FOR EACH OF THE PARTIES AS IS REQUIRED TO PROCEED
WITH ACQUISITION OF RIGHTS OF WAY AND EASEMENTS REQUIRED FOR THE LINCOLN BLVD.

5.03* 10:00 a.m. –Public Hearing - Rezone to Repeala Conditional Zoning Agreement between Mooretown
Rancheria and the County of Butte; REZ15-0001 - Rezone REZ15-0001 would remove conditions of
approval and mitigation measures applicable to the Feather Falls Casino parking lot, through repeal
of the May 22, 2001 Conditional Zoning Agreement between Mooretown Rancheria Concow Maidu,
a federally-recognized sovereign Indian Tribe, and the County of Butte, thereby removing
encumbrances to the subject property and enabling it to be taken into trust status by the United
States on behalf of the Tribe. The 5.16-acre project site area has been constructed with parking lot
improvements consistent with the Conditional Zoning Agreement. The parking lot’s consistency with
conditions of approval and mitigation measures relative to construction were checked and confirmed
prior to approval of the final building permit on October 22, 2002. Rezone REZ15-0001 is categorically
exempt from environmental review pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines section 15301. The project is currently developed as a parking lot and will continue with
no change or expansion of use after the Conditional Zoning Agreement is repealed. The Planning
Commission recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt the Rezone – action requested - 1)
ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND 2) ADOPT ORDINANCE TO REPEAL
THE MAY 22, 2001 CONDITIONAL ZONING AGREEMENT BETWEEN MOORETOWN RANCHERIA
