4.04 Contract with EES Consulting, Inc. for a Technical Study Related to Feasibility of Community
Choice Aggregation-In response to concerns voiced by several Butte County businesses,and per
action items in the Butte County Regional Economic Development Strategy and the Butte County
General Plan, County staff has been researching opportunities to assist both businesses and
residents through alternative energy projects and programs. One such program is Community
Choice Aggregation (CCA). A CCA allows local governments to become an energy purveyor and
to purchase electrical energy on the wholesale market from any source. A CCA chooses the
source of electrical power for the community and sets its own rates. A CCA only provides
electricity and does not own poles or wires; electricity would continue to be delivered using
PG&E transmission and distribution lines. On June 14, 2016, the Board of Supervisors directed
staff to have a technical study performed to determine the feasibility of CCA in the Butte County
region. In October of 2016, a Request for Qualifications and Proposals was issued and proposals
were submitted by two firms, both of whom are out of the area. Interviews were conducted
with both of the firms on February 3, 2017. EES Consulting, Inc.,from Kirkland,Washington,was
selected as the lowest responsive bidder and the highest ranked by the interview panel. Staff
recommends approval of the contract for a term of May 9, 2017 through March 31, 2018. The
contract shall not exceed $94,000, and will be funded out of the Utilities Internal Service Fund—

4.07 2017 Roadway Storm Damage Update - The Department of Public Works has been working
diligently over the past 5 months to minimize the weather related roadway damage and reduce
the risks to the traveling public. In spite of the department's best efforts to keep the County's
roadways in drivable condition, a significant number of County maintained roadways were
damaged by the combination of heavy rain and heavy snowfall followed by more heavy rain.
Approximately 40 roadways sustained heavy damage, either by the January storm system
(Federal Disaster Declaration No. 1) or the February storm system/spillway failure (Federal
Disaster Declaration No. 2). Staff is working with the Butte County Office of Emergency
Management, along with Cal-OES and FEMA representatives on a daily basis to ensure that the
County receives the maximum amount of State and federal reimbursement for costs as allowable
by law. Staff is also working with the Department of Water Resources (DWR) to ensure that
roadways damaged by the Emergency Response and Recovery phases of the spillway failure will
be repaired by DWR—action requested -ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION. (Public Works)
4.08 An Ordinance Amending Chapter 44 of the Butte County Code Entitled "Juvenile Hall Charges" -
California Welfare and Institutions Code section 903 generally provides that the parent of a
minor who is housed in a juvenile hall may be responsible for the reasonable costs of support
incurred by a county in housing the minor. Separate sections of the Welfare and Institutions
Code provide that the parent of a juvenile offender may also be responsible for other costs, such
as costs for legal services (Section 903.1), costs for probation supervision (Section 903.2), and
costs for sealing records (Section 903.3). Currently, Chapter 44 of the Butte County Code only
allows Butte County to seek recovery of the reasonable costs of support incurred in housing
juveniles in Butte County Juvenile Hall, as allowed by Section 903. The proposed amendments
to Chapter 44 would: 1) amend Section 44-1 to allow Butte County Probation to seek recovery
of all costs incurred in dealing with juvenile offenders that are recoverable by law; and 2) add
Section 44-3 to designate the Treasurer-Tax Collector as the County Financial Evaluation Officer
for the purpose of evaluating the financial ability of a minor's parent to pay for all or any portion
of potentially recoverable costs — action requested — WAIVE THE FIRST READING OF THE
ORDINANCE. (Treasurer-Tax Collector)
4.09 General Fund Reserve Policy - In January 2010, the Board of Supervisors established a General
Fund Reserve Policy. The maintenance of a General Fund Reserve helps to protect the fiscal
solvency of the County. A prudent General Fund Reserve level is a critical measure of a
government's ability to manage risk. Prior to the establishment of that policy, the County
maintained a General Fund Appropriation for Contingencies, but no General Reserve.The County
now has an $8 million General Fund Reserve in addition to an $8.4 million General Fund
Appropriation for Contingencies. The Finance Work Team reviewed the current policy relative
to current best practices and County needs and presents a revised policy for the Board's
consideration. The Finance Work Team's review of the General Fund Reserve Policy included a
survey of other counties' policies, a review of guidance from the Government Finance Officers
Association(GFOA)and rating agencies,and the completion of the GFOA Risk Analysis. The result
of this analysis is a revised General Fund Reserve Policy that refocuses the policy target on the
General Fund and combines the General Fund Appropriation for Contingencies and General
Reserve for a single goal of 10-15% of prior Year General Fund operating expenditures ($13.2
million to $19.8 million)—action requested—ADOPT GENERAL FUND RESERVE POLICY. (County
