3.29 Authorization to Advertise and Bid the Kelly Ridge Road Emergency Relief (ER) Rehabilitation
Project - The Kelly Ridge Road ER Rehabilitation Project will provide for removal of damaged
pavement sections with dig -outs and placement of a single layer chip seal on Kelly Ridge Road
from State Route 162 to 720 feet north of Royal Oaks Drive. The total project length is
approximately 2.15 miles. This repair work is due to damage caused from the emergency
response for the Oroville Dam spillway incident. Federal funding was recently released that has
allowed this and several other projects to move forward. Asphalt concrete dig -out is a process
of removing the damaged portion of the traveled roadway by milling the road surface to a depth
of approximately three inches and repaving the removed portion with three inches of hot mix
asphalt. The engineer's estimate for construction is $320,000 for this section of roadway. The
total project cost is $450,000, which includes preliminary engineering, construction, and
construction engineering. The Department of Public Works recommends the Board of
Supervisors authorize the Department to advertise and solicit bids for the construction of the

3.30 Request by Sutter Butte Flood Control Agency (SBFCA) to Grant Easements for Portions of Levees
that Lie Under County Owned Road Rights of Way - SBFCA is in the process of acquiring the
necessary easements from government-owned parcels within the Feather River West Levee
Project to properly allow maintenance of these newly constructed facilities. Since these are
government-owned parcel(s), SBFCA (representing the Sacramento San Joaquin Drainage District
[SSJDD]) is only requesting an easement over the parcel for levee operation and maintenance
purposes. Currently, State Maintenance Area 7 (MA7) performs the levee operation and
maintenance in this area, although it has no formal land right to be on the property and perform
operation and maintenance duties. The easement will be transferred to SSJDD, who in turn will
transfer the operations and maintenance duties to State MA7. SBFCA is taking this approach with
all government owned property within the levee areas in both Butte and Sutter Counties. SBFCA
requests, and the Public Works Department recommends, the Board of Supervisors grant the
easements and authorize the Chair to execute the necessary easement documents on behalf of
the County — action requested - GRANT EASEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN
EASEMENT DOCUMENTS. (Public Works)

sheriffs. The new lieutenant will act as liaison between the Sheriff and DWR, and the new
deputies will provide law enforcement and security patrols to areas under the jurisdiction of
DWR. The second year of the agreement adds one full-time sergeant position, who will supervise
and coordinate the deputies assigned to the program with fulfilling the duties and responsibilities
of the agreement. In addition to funding full-time staff, DWR will fund three fully marked vehicles
(two vehicles in the first year and one vehicle in the second year), marine equipment, and

4.05 Request for Direction for General Plan Amendment and Rezone for Table Mountain Boulevard
and Garden Drive Parcels -The Department of Development Services requests direction from the
Board of Supervisors to initiate a General Plan Amendment and Rezone concerning seven parcels
(APNs: 031-010-046, -067, -068, -080, -081, -084, -085) ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 acres in size, each
located east of, and adjacent to, Table Mountain Boulevard, approximately 500 feet north of
Garden Drive north of the City of Oroville. These parcels are currently designated Retail and
Office by the General Plan and zoned GC (General Commercial). A General Plan designation and
zone of MDR (Medium Density Residential) is recommended by staff to match the existing
residential land uses. This amendment is considered a correction to the General Plan designation
and zoning map. The subject property owners have submitted a petition in support of this
amendment — action requested - DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING
ORDINANCE AND GENERAL PLAN. (Development Services)
4.06 Temporary Log Decks and Forest Processing in Support of Camp Fire Recovery - The Department
of Development Services is aware of the establishment of log yards and decks including those
near Durham-Pentz and Clark Roads in Butte Valley in support of the PG&E tree removal effort
following the Camp Fire. The Zoning Ordinance classifies this use as timber processing, which is
only allowed in the TM (Timber Management), TPZ (Timber Production) and HI (Heavy Industrial)
zones, and requires a conditional use permit in the GI (General Industrial) zone. Potential issues
associated with temporary log yards and timber processing facilities can include fire safety,
traffic, noise, and stormwater discharge effects on water quality. Given these uses and the need
to address tree and vegetation removal as part of the Camp Fire recovery, staff is seeking
direction from the Board of Supervisors regarding amendments to the Camp Fire Recovery
Ordinance and Zoning Ordinance to accommodate temporary log yards and timber processing
facilities or continue code enforcement efforts — action requested - PROVIDE DIRECTION TO
STAFF. (Development Services)

4.07 Review of Fuel Reduction Projects and Impacts on Fire Suppression - Despite the devastation of
the Camp Fire, there were a number of success stories and lessons learned regarding fuel
reduction. Prior to the Camp Fire, the Butte County Fire Safe Council, U.S. Forest Service, Paradise
Irrigation District, and CAL FIRE collaborated on a number of fuel reduction projects that proved
to be critical in aiding resident evacuations and helping firefighters protect lives and property.
The Fire Department in conjunction with the Butte County Fire Safe Council will provide a short
presentation that highlights some of these successes and how similar projects can reduce future
fire impacts — action requested — ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION. (Fire)
4.08 Status Report on Property Assessed Clean Energy Program (PACE) - The Residential PACE
Program was authorized in Butte County in 2015 under provisions enacted by the State
Legislature designed to provide financing for energy efficient home improvements. Since that
time, a number of consumer issues came to the forefront, causing concern amongst tax
collectors statewide. The California Association of County Treasurers and Tax Collectors
spearheaded collaborative legislative changes to address concerns during 2017 through 2018. A
number of consumer protection provisions were enacted, some of which became effective April
of 2018 while others did not become effective until January of 2019. More legislative consumer
protection action is pending nationwide: The federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is
looking at requirements for the PACE industry that mirror mortgage and consumer finance laws,
including Truth -in -Lending Act regulations. Locally, a PACE Survey was developed and mailed to
600 Butte County homeowners with PACE liens in the Fall of 2018. Of those receiving the survey,
145 provided responses, which are summarized in the staff report, for reference. Most of the
PACE liens on the tax roll in the Fall of 2018 were not subject to the new consumer protection
provisions. The Survey comments indicate a lack of comparison shopping, confusion on financing
terms and provisions, and concerns about the effect on future refinance or sale of homes, overall
cost, sales tactics of contractors and, in some cases, poor workmanship. On the other hand,
consumers are generally satisfied with the performance of energy efficiency improvements —
action requested - ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION. (Treasurer -Tax Collector)

4.11 Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 33A of the County Code - Basin Management
Objectives - Chapter 33A of Butte County Code establishes the Basin Management Objective
(BMO) program (Program). The basis of the Program is to develop BMOs, conduct groundwater
monitoring, evaluate data, publicly report data, and provide outreach to stakeholders. In 2014,
the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) was passed Statewide requiring
Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs) by January 31, 2022 for all subbasins within Butte
County. On June 6, 2018, a subcommittee of the Water Commission was appointed to review
and evaluate the Program due to overlaps in Chapter 33A and SGMA requirements. The review
identified the need for a Program expiration date and interim modifications to the existing
Program. The proposed amendments will 1) establish an expiration date of January 31, 2022 for
Chapter 33A of the Butte County Code; 2) dissolve the Water Advisory Committee (WAC) and
associated bylaws; 3) discontinue use of subinventory units for reporting purposes; and 4)
provide clarifications to the definitions section of the code. Recommended changes were
presented to the Water Commission on September 5, 2018. The Water Commission unanimously
accepted the report, supported the subcommittee's recommendations, and recommended that
the Board of Supervisors adopt the proposed amendments to Chapter 33A and associated WAC
bylaws. Staff recommends that Chapter 33A of the Butte County Code and the WAC bylaws be
amended consistent with the recommendations of the Water Commission — action requested -
WAIVE THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE ENTITLED "AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNTY OF
BUTTE AMENDING CHAPTER 33A - BASIN MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES". (Water and Resource

5.01 1:00 Pm — 2019 State and Federal Legislative Platforms - On February 9, 2019, the Board of
Supervisors adopted platforms establishing priorities with regard to State and federal legislation
