In addition the department requests to flexibly staff nine (9) Administrative Analyst,
Senior positions to Administrative Analyst, Senior/Administrative Analyst/Administrative
Analyst, Associate. Expanding these positions to include all classifications in the series will
provide the department with more flexibility when hiring. There are no additional costs
associated with this change. This change will leave the allocations in the department
unchanged.
The department is also requesting to delete one (1) vacant position of Supervisor,
Employment Services and add one (1) position of Supervisor, Employment & Eligibility.
The department has a greater need for supervision in Eligibility Services than Employment
Services due to the increased activity and numbers of staff. Funding for this position is
included in the Department's current fiscal year budget. This change will leave the
allocations in the department unchanged.
Public Health: requests to delete one (1) vacant position of Manager, Program
Development and add one (1) position of Supervisor, Public Health Education Specialist.
After a review of the level of supervision required for the division, the department
believes that position of Supervisor, Public Health Education is the classification that best
meets the needs of the department. This change will have no fiscal impact on the County
General Fund and will leave the total allocations in the department unchanged.
Behavioral Health: requests to delete one (1) vacant position of Supervisor, Behavioral
Health Counselor from budget unit 541-011 and add one (1) position of Supervisor,
Behavioral Health Counselor to budget unit 541-012. In addition, the Department is
requesting to delete one (1) vacant Certified Nurse Practitioner. These changes will allow
for appropriate expenditures in each budget unit based on actual service delivery. These
changes will decrease the total allocations in the department by one (1) position and have
no fiscal impact on the County General Fund.
Human Resources: requests to change the salary schedule to which the Program
Manager, Probation classification is currently tied. The Program Manager, Probation is a
Safety position within the Butte County Management Employees Association (BCMEA).
This classification has been inadvertently tied to the miscellaneous classifications salary
schedule (Reference O Salary Schedule for Non-Safety BCMEA Classifications of the Salary
Ordinance) for BCMEA when it should be tied to the safety classifications Salary Schedule
(Reference O Salary Schedule for BCMEA Safety Classifications of the Salary Ordinance).
The classification is currently vacant and has been for many years. The salary schedules
began to differ between Safety and Miscellaneous employees over the past few years as
employees began paying their member contribution to PERS and received different salary
increases based on if the employees were paying a 9% member contribution (Safety) or
7% member contribution (Miscellaneous). These differences necessitated the need to
create two (2) separate salary schedules for any bargaining unit that contains both Safety
and Miscellaneous employees.

in the Targeted Case Management (TCM) program. The term of the agreement is July 1,
2013 through June 30, 2018. Participation in the program allows Public Health to be

PUBLIC WORKS 3.35* Lumos and Associates - In 2011, the County was awarded a Disaster Recovery Initiative
(DRI) Grant to help recover from damages from the 2008 wildfires. A portion of this grant
allowed the County to repair and make other safety enhancements to Concow Road
providing for safer ingress and egress in the event of further disasters. On January 24,
2012, the Board awarded a contract for the design of this project to Lumos & Associates
in an amount not-to-exceed $293,310. On May 22, 2012, the Board approved
Amendment 1 incorporating additional work identified during a field review of the site for
an additional $20,500. Amendment 2 incorporated a no-cost change order that added an
additional employee position description to the contractual billing rate. The original
federal legislation for the DRI grant included language indicating that such projects were
categorically exempt from the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) process. The
contractor and Public Works Department relied on this language when developing the
scope and budget for this project. However, the State Department of Housing and
Community Development, delegated to be the federal lead agency for this project, has
required that its 8-step process for NEPA clearance must be implemented for this project.
This contract Amendment 3 will compensate the contractor for the extra work required.
This additional work will increase the not-to-exceed price by $9,580, bringing the total
contract to $323,390 — action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND
AUDITOR-CONTROLLER.

3.36* Award Contract for Design of a Temporary Cover for West Slope of Modules 1 and 3 at
the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility, County Project 757-5913-11 - Beginning in the
early 1990s and again in 2002, the Department of Public Works implemented Corrective
Action Plans (CAP) to minimize potential impacts to groundwater from the unlined
Modules 1, 2, and 3. The second CAP resulted in final closure of Modules 1, 2, and 3 in
2007. In 2
007, the west slope of Modules 1 and 3 received a temporary cover which has degraded
and requires replacement. To provide continued groundwater protection until waste can
be placed against the west slope and a final cover constructed, the Department of Public
Works solicited proposals for the design of a temporary cover to meet the CAP
requirements and offer a longer service life. The Department of Public Works received
three responses. Staff reviewed and scored the proposals based on consultant
capabilities, experience, proposed temporary cover design and cost as described in the
request for proposals. The review and scoring resulted in Geo-Logic Associates of Grass
Valley being selected as the most responsive to the proposal for a not-to-exceed cost of
$27,994. The Director of the Department of Public Works recommends awarding a
contract agreement to Geo-Logic Associates - action requested - AWARD CONTRACT TO
GEO-LOGIC ASSOCIATES SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND AUDITOR
CONTROLLER AND AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO SIGN THE
CONTRACT.
3.37* Declaration of Use of Force Account Pursuant to AB 720 - On January 1, 2013, Assembly
Bill 720 (Hall) amended Public Contract Code Section 22031 to limit the amount of road
construction and reconstruction work that may be performed by County employees
under "force account." Public Contract Code Section 22031(b)(2) now limits new road
construction and reconstruction work by County employees to a maximum of 30 percent
of the total value of all work performed by force account, other than maintenance
activities and emergency repairs, as reported in the State Controllers' Streets and Roads
Annual Report. Typically, Butte County does not use employees to construct or
reconstruct roads or perform asphalt concrete overlays over one inch depth. However,
County employees are used to prepare roads for chip sealing, which often requires an
asphalt concrete leveling course beforehand. Additionally, County employees are used to
provide capital project support for construction contracted with the private sector. The
capital project support includes engineering, project design, surveying, construction
inspection and material testing. Assembly Bill 720, requires that any county acting
pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22031(b)(2) shall declare its intention to use this
provision prior to commencing work. Butte County Public Works Department does not
anticipate that any projects will utilize County employees to perform construction work
on new road construction or reconstruction. However, in the Annual Road Report, the
State Controller's Office combines the capital project delivery support force account work
with the construction of new roads or reconstruction force account work into the same
category. Therefore, it is unclear whether a declaration needs to be made solely for the
use of County employees providing capital project delivery support. To be sure Butte
County is in compliance with AB 720, staff is recommending the Board adopt a resolution
declaring its intention to utilize its authority under Public Contact Code Section
22031(b)(2) — action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO
SIGN.

4.07* Debt Management Guidelines and Procedures - The purpose of the Debt Management
Guidelines and Procedures (DMGP) is to ensure sufficient guidelines and procedures exist
within the County to serve as a foundation for prudent debt issuance and management.
The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), with advice from the County Auditor, Treasurer,
and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has developed and will periodically review the DMGP. All
future changes must be approved by the Board of Supervisors (Board). The DMGP shall
accomplish the following objectives: 1) assist decision making regarding the debt issuance
process and affordability; 2) document and assign pre-debt issuance and post-debt
issuance responsibilities and objectives to be achieved by the County; 3) promote
objectivity and transparency in the decision-making process; and 4) establish important
procedural decisions in advance of new debt financings to facilitate an open and
transparent process. The DMGP addresses minimizing the County's debt service and
issuance costs, ensuring the highest practical credit ratings, which ultimately lowers
financing costs, and maintaining full and complete financial disclosure and reporting. The
DMGP provides that no short-term or long-term debt will be issued without prior approval
of the Board. The proposed DMGP was developed based on recommendations by the
Government Finance Officers Association, current practices of other California
jurisdictions, and input from the eleven member County Finance Work Team composed of
