3.34 Contract with Elite Universal Security for Security Services -When an inmate is transported and
admitted to the hospital, Sheriff staff cannot stay with the inmate long term as it is too costly
and taxing on department resources. In these situations, the Sheriff's Office utilizes private
security to monitor the inmate while in the hospital. The Sheriff's Office requests approval to
continue contracting with California Security Systems, doing business as Elite Universal Security
(Elite),for inmate security outside the jail. Elite has been providing these services to the Sheriff's
Office since 2004 and there are few contractors willing to provide this service. The Sheriff's Office
expends over $100,000 annually for guard service. The term of this contract will begin May 23,
2017 through May 22, 2020, with a maximum amount payable of$300,000—action requested -

3.35 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 (Welf. & Inst. §903.1), costs for probation supervision (Welf. & Inst.
§903.2), and costs for sealing records (Welf. & Inst. §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 of the
California Welfare and Institutions Code. 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 all or any portion of potentially
recoverable costs. On May 9, 2017, the amended ordinance came before the Board of
Supervisors and the Board voted unanimously to waive the first reading. It is now recommended
that the Board of Supervisors adopt the amended ordinance — action requested - ADOPT
ORDINANCE AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Treasurer-Tax Collector)
3.36 Addendum One To Upper Feather River Integrated Regional Water Management Memorandum
Of Understanding - Butte County and the Upper Feather River Integrated Regional Water
Management Group (Upper Feather River IRWMG) share common surface water and
groundwater resources. Based on these common resources,overlap between these two entities
occurred during the development of the Upper Feather River Integrated Regional Water
Management (IRWM) Plan. In November 2016, the Butte County and Upper Feather River
IRWMG Resource Coordination, Collaboration, and Communication Agreement Memorandum
of Understanding was approved. The goal of the agreement was to foster coordination,
collaboration, and communication between the parties on water and resource-related issues.
This allows for greater efficiencies and enhanced public services, a framework for the
management and disbursement of funding, and improved competitiveness for State and federal
grant funding. The MOU discussed working together in the overlap area only. At their April 21,
2017 meeting,the full Upper Feather River IRWMG voted unanimously to establish Butte County
as a regular member of the Upper Feather River Regional Water Management Group. This action
is being brought forward as an addendum to the Upper Feather River IRWM MOU, which
establishes Butte County as a member of the Upper Feather River IRWMG —action requested -

3.37 Groundwater Pumpers Advisory Committee Bylaws - On October 11, 2016, the Board of
Supervisors adopted Resolution 16-151 creating the Groundwater Pumpers Advisory Committee
(GPAC). The purposes of the GPAC is to act as a liaison between groundwater pumpers and the
County on issues regarding the management of groundwater and the development of the
Groundwater Sustainability Plan, and to provide advice to the Board of Supervisors on matters
related to Butte County's implementation of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act
(SGMA). On April 17, 2017, the GPAC adopted Bylaws for the GPAC and recommended that the
Board of Supervisors ratify the GPAC Bylaws. The Bylaws are modeled after the Butte County
Water Commission Bylaws and are consistent with Resolution 16-151—action requested-ADOPT
BYLAWS OF THE GROUNDWATER PUMPERS ADVISORY COMMITTEE. (Water and Resource

3.38 Resolution to Establish the Butte County Groundwater Sustainability Agency in the West Butte
Subbasin -The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) went into effect on January
1, 2015. High and medium subbasins are subject to SGMA compliance. In Butte County, there
are four subbasins subject to SGMA (Vina, West Butte, East Butte, and Wyandotte Creek). By
June 30, 2017, subbasins subject to SGMA must have one or more Groundwater Sustainability
Agencies(GSA)established for all portions of the subbasin. If areas of a subbasin are not covered
by one or more GSA by June 30, 2017, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) will
intervene in the groundwater basin and impose mandatory fees, groundwater reporting and
limit groundwater pumping (Water Code §10735). The Butte County, Glenn County, Colusa
County, the City of Chico, Western Canal Water District, Reclamation District 2106, Durham
Irrigation District, and Reclamation District 1004 have elected to become GSAs in the West Butte
subbasin. The Butte County GSA area covers the entire portion of the West Butte subbasin in
Butte County and overlies GSA areas of the City of Chico, Reclamation District 2106, Durham
Irrigation District, and Western Canal Water District. The Butte County GSA area does not
overlap GSAs in the Glenn or Colusa County portion of the West Butte subbasin. In 2016, SGMA
was amended to require that if the proposed GSA management areas of two or more entities
overlap, then none of the entities would be recognized as a GSA until the overlap was resolved
or eliminated. The department recommends that the Board of Supervisors authorize resolving
the overlap by modifying the Butte County GSA boundary to only include the areas outside of
the Chico city limits and the service boundary of the Reclamation District 2106, Durham Irrigation
District, and Western Canal Water District. Failure to resolve the overlap prior to June 30, 2017
would result in SWRCB intervention. This action would not be a material change from original
GSA filings and would not require a new notice of intent—action requested-ADOPT RESOLUTION
AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Water and Resource Conservation)
3.39 Resolution to Establish the Butte County Groundwater Sustainability Agency in the Vina Subbasin
-The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) went into effect on January 1, 2015.
High and medium subbasins are subject to SGMA compliance. In Butte County, there are four
subbasins subject to SGMA (Vina, West Butte, East Butte, and Wyandotte Creek). By June 30,
2017, subbasins subject to SGMA must have one or more Groundwater Sustainability Agencies
(GSA) established for all portions of the subbasin. If areas of a subbasin are not covered by one
or more GSA by June 30, 2017,the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB)will intervene
in the groundwater basin and impose mandatory fees, groundwater reporting, and limit
groundwater pumping (Water Code §10735). Butte County, Tehama County, the City of Chico,
and the Rock Creek Reclamation District have elected to become GSAs in the Vina subbasin.The
Butte County GSA area covers the entire Butte County portion of the Vina subbasin and overlies
the City of Chico and Rock Creek Reclamation District. In 2016, SGMA was amended to require
that if the proposed GSA management areas of two or more entities overlap, then none of the
entities would be recognized as a GSA until the overlap was resolved or eliminated. The
Page 11

department recommends the Board of Supervisors authorize resolving the overlap by modifying
the Butte County GSA boundary to only include the areas outside of the Chico city limits and the
jurisdictional boundary of the Rock Creek Reclamation District. Failure to resolve the overlap
prior to June 30, 2017 would result in SWRCB intervention. This action would not be a material
change from original GSA filings and would not require a new notice of intent—action requested

3.40 Resolution for the East Butte Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Agency - The Sustainable
Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) went into effect on January 1, 2015. High and medium
subbasins are subject to SGMA compliance. In Butte County,there are four subbasins subject to
SGMA(Vina,West Butte, East Butte,and Wyandotte Creek). ByJune 30, 2017, subbasins subject
to SGMA must have one or more Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSA) established for all
portions of the subbasin. The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) will intervene in
groundwater basins unless a local public agency or combination of local public agencies form a
GSA by June 30, 2017. Butte County and 13 other local agencies in East Butte subbasin elected
to be GSAs. The Butte County GSA area covers the entire portion of the East Butte subbasin in
Butte County including the GSA areas that overly the cities of Biggs,Gridley and Oroville,Western
Canal Water District, Biggs-West Gridley Water District, Butte Water District, Richvale Irrigation
District, and Thermalito Water and Sewer District. In 2016, SGMA was amended to require that
if the proposed GSA management areas of two or more entities overlap,then none of the entities
would be recognized as a GSA until the overlap was resolved or eliminated. Butte College elects
to resolve its overlap by withdrawing their application to be a GSA. Butte College would continue
to participate in the SGMA through a memorandum of understanding with Butte County. Butte
County must resolve its overlaps prior to June 30, 2017, or face SWRCB intervention. The
department recommends the Board of Supervisors authorize resolving the overlap by modifying
its GSA boundary to only include the areas outside of the city limits of Biggs,Gridley,and Oroville
and the jurisdictional boundaries of Western Canal Water District, Biggs-West Gridley Water
District, Butte Water District, Richvale Irrigation District, and Thermalito Water and Sewer
District. This action would not be a material change from original GSA filings and would not

Application - Proposition 1 makes funding available for outreach to disadvantaged communities
(DAC)for the identification and development of eligible water projects.The northeastern portion
of Butte County is in the Mountain Counties funding overlay through the Upper Feather River
Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWM). The department requests the Board of
Supervisors approve a letter supporting the Sierra Institute as the applicant for the
Disadvantaged Community Involvement Program grant for the portion of Butte County within
the Mountain Counties overlay.The funding will specifically incorporate portions of Butte County
into the Mountain Counties grant application so the entire county will have DAC outreach
coverage. The majority of the western portion of Butte County is covered by the Northern
Sacramento Valley (NSV) IRWM Plan, which is a part of the Sacramento River funding area. The
NSV Board voted to send a letter of support for the DAC grant funding application as part of the
Sacramento River funding area — action requested - APPROVE LETTER AND AUTHORIZE THE

Replacement Project at Butte Creek-The Butte County Department of Public Works proposes to
construct a new highway bridge, approximately 1,600 feet long, on the Midway that will span
both Butte Creek and the Butte Creek Overflow channel. This project will replace two existing
bridges originally constructed in 1915 and 1918. The proposed project will construct the new
bridge on the existing alignment,which will necessitate the closure of the Midway to traffic until
the new bridge is complete. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires an
environmental analysis of all projects that are not categorically exempt from analysis and which
may have an effect on the environment.The Initial Study and supporting environmental studies
provide justification for a Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to CEQA. The Proposed
Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with CEQA and the State CEQA
Guidelines. The 30-day public review period for the Initial Study and Proposed Mitigated
Negative Declaration began on March 24, 2017, and ended April 28, 2017. A Public Hearing was
previously set for December 8, 2015, for the Board to consider adopting a Proposed Mitigated
Negative Declaration for the project. Public Works held a public outreach meeting in Durham on
November 16, 2015, where staff heard concerns from adjacent property owners and others on
the original proposed bridge alignment, which placed the new bridge on an adjacent alignment
on the downstream side of the existing bridge. Requests were received for the County to
consider constructing the new bridge on the existing road and bridge alignment. Additional
outreach meetings were held December 17, 2015 and January 21, 2016. Public Works returned
to the Board of Supervisors on January 26, 2016, where direction was given to move forward
with a proposed alignment which would place the new bridge and roadway on the existing
current alignment — action requested - ADOPT THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR
