Disaster- Butte County had four major wildfires last year. Assessor's Office staff work diligently
to provide calamity property tax relief for residents affected by wildfires as provided for in

affected taxpayers. Additionally, some taxpayers are reluctant to file the required application
due to the mistaken belief that calamity relief allows the property to be reappraised to fair
market value upon reconstruction. The proposed ordinance would add Section 21-74 to the
Butte County Code entitled "Reassessment of property after a Governor declared disaster." If

ROD would implement Alternative 4, which designates snow trails and areas of the LNF for OSV
use. The planning decisions in the Draft ROD will designate six areas for cross-country OSV use,
covering 762,920 acres or approximately 66%of the LNF. It will also designate 380 miles of trails
for public OSV use when snow depth is adequate,and identify 350 miles of snow trails that would
be mechanically groomed for public OSV use. A letter of objection was developed based on
public input and comments made at the April 23, 2018 FAC meeting. Within the letter, more
clarity on the areas where OSV use will be allowed is requested, including improved maps, and
more specificity on the Pacific Coast Trail crossings. Accordingly,the FAC discussed the issuance
of a Board letter of objection to the LNF. On May 1, 2018, the Coordinating Committee met and
reviewed the letter of objection, and support bringing it before the Board for consideration —
action requested—APPROVE LETTER AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)
