3.02 Disaster Relief Ordinance Regarding Reassessment of Property After a Governor Declared
Disaster- Butte County had four major wildfires last year. The Assessor's Office staff worked to
provide calamity property tax relief for residents affected by wildfires as provided for in Revenue
and Taxation Code section 170. However, staff are not always able to connect with all 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 Butte County Code
entitled "Reassessment of property after a Governor declared disaster." If approved,this section
will allow the Assessor's Office to reassess property impacted by a wildfire that results in a
disaster declaration by the Governor without the filing of an application by the property owner

3.35 Authorization to Advertise and Solicit Bids for the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility Septage
Pond Closure Project -As part of the ongoing solid waste disposal cell development at the Neal
Road Recycling and Waste Facility, the existing Septage Pond must be removed to allow for
future solid waste disposal. To facilitate this, the Board has taken multiple steps including
awarding a construction contract to construct a separate septage receiving facility in June 2017,
which included a five-year contract for off-site disposal of septage. All septage coming to the
Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility is now being disposed off-site, which allows for the full
decommissioning of the septage pond.The project will include removal of the liquid (estimated
at 16 million gallons), removal of biosolids(estimated at 1,500 dry tons), removal of the 4.4-acre
pond liner system, and removal of any contaminated soils below the liner. This project is
expected to be under construction from the summer of 2018 through September 2019.This will
allow for excavation and creation of the new solid waste module, 5C, which should be ready to
receive solid waste by early 2020.The engineer's estimate for this project contract is$3,100,000.
All sludge will be removed and air dried, and then disposed of in the landfill. The Department
requests authorization to advertise and solicit bids for the construction of Septage Pond
Decommissioning, County Project No. 757-7518-03 — action requested — 1) APPROVE THE
PROJECT; 2)AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO ADVERTISE AND SOLICIT BIDS FOR

3.36 Authorization to Award the Oakvale Avenue Full Depth Rehabilitation Project to the Lowest
Responsible and Responsive Bidder - The Oakvale Avenue Full Depth Rehabilitation Project,
County Project No.533-2018-01,will provide for grinding up the existing roadway full depth from
State Route 162 (Oro-Quincy Highway)to Mt. Ida Road,which is a distance of approximately 1.3
miles.The existing roadway surface has extensive cracking and other pavement deficiencies and
is rated at a pavement condition index of 45. The grinding and recompaction work will be
followed by placement of three inches of asphalt concrete surfacing. This grinding process will
eliminate the possibility of the old established pavement cracks reflecting back up through the
new asphalt surfacing, and will improve the roadway's structural capacity to withstand future
traffic loadings.The project was advertised beginning April 10, 2018.Two bids were received and
opened on May 1, 2018.The lowest bidder was Knife River Construction Company, Inc. of Chico,
with a low bid of $751,665. This bid is $132,483 (14.98%) below the engineer's estimate of
$884,148 for the project. The Department reviewed the bids and other required documents
submitted with the bid and determined that Knife River Construction Company, Inc.'s bid is
responsible and responsive to the bid request.The contractor has 25 working days from the date
of the notice to proceed to complete the construction on this project.The contractor is required
to coordinate their work with the Ophir School to ensure that all work is completed during the
summer recess, which occurs between June 10, 2018, and August 10, 2018—action requested—

4.04 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act - Vina Subbasin Governance - On January 1, 2015,
the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) went into effect. SGMA provides local
public agencies with land use, water management, or water supply the opportunity to be
Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSA) with the responsibility for developing and
implementing Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSP). GSPs must evaluate the sustainability of
the basin and identify actions that will be implemented to achieve sustainability over a 20-year
period. There are four subbasins (Vina, West Butte, East Butte, and Wyandotte Creek) in Butte
County subject to SGMA.A GSP for each subbasin must be submitted by January 30, 2022. SGMA
allows for more than one GSP to be submitted for each subbasin, subject to Coordination
Agreements and other requirements. Failure to meet the deadline would subject the subbasin
to intervention by the State Water Resources Control Board.Through a facilitated public process,
Butte County and the other GSAs are developing a governance structure to develop one GSP.
The GSA managers in the Vina subbasin(Butte County,City of Chico,and Rock Creek Reclamation
District) developed a draft governance concept based on public input. The draft governance
concept is being presented to solicit comments from the Board prior to drafting the legal
agreements and formal consideration — action requested — PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF.
