Observation of a Moment of Silence
2. Corrections and/or Changes to the Agenda
3. Consent Agenda
3.01* Resolution Regarding Disabled Veterans Exemptions - Generally, when a retroactive property tax
exemption is granted, the Assessor makes roll corrections to the prior rolls and transmits the
information to the Auditor for processing. This process results in an automatic refund payment
without the need for the taxpayer to file a separate Claim for Refund with the Board of Supervisors.
However, Revenue and Taxation Code section 4831 allows an assessor to correct the roll only if the
correction is made within four years after making the assessment. Any years covered by a Claim for
Refund application beyond four years would need the consent of the Board of Supervisors, per the
Revenue and Taxation Code. Effective January 1, 2015, Senate Bill 1113 amended Revenue and
Taxation Code § 5097 to extend the statute of limitations period from four years to eight years on
property tax refunds related to the Disabled Veterans Exemption. The statute of limitations was
extended because, in many cases, the Department of Veterans Affairs does not make a decision
regarding the disability rating for veterans in a timely manner. Without approval of the resolution,
all disabled veterans who qualify for the extended statute of limitations would have to appear before
the Board of Supervisors for a hearing on their Claim for Refund, even though, under the law, the
Board would have no authority to deny the Claim if the veteran meets statutory eligibility criteria.
The hearing would serve no purpose since the determination is not discretionary and would be a
burden to the disabled veteran. To simplify the process for disabled veterans and to reduce the
impact on County resources, it is recommended that the Board delegate its approval authority
relating to processing valid Claims for Refunds for Disabled Veterans Exemptions to the Assessor and
Auditor through the issuance of roll corrections. — action requested - APPROVE RESOLUTION AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Assessor)

3.02* Introduce Ordinance Regarding Property Tax Administrative Cost Recovery - State law provides the

undergone many changes since the original language was adopted by the Board of Supervisors, and
the Auditor-Controller requests adoption of an updated ordinance to reflect current State law.
Recommended changes include: updated references to current State law, a change in the definition
of "local jurisdiction", and removal of requirements for a public hearing and invoicing processes that
are no longer required under State law. — action requested - ADOPT THE AGREEMENT AND

3.48* Sustainable Groundwater Management Assessment Report and Recommendation to Launch SGMA
Public Process - The State passed the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) in 2014,
which requires local agencies to develop a plan to manage their groundwater basins on a sustainable
basis in a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP). Entities that have jurisdiction over water or land-
use are eligible to become what is termed a Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) and will help
to prepare the GSP. The County will play a significant role in the development of the GSP as the land
use authority, but there are other entities located within the County that also have jurisdictional
authority over water resources. The Board approved an agreement with Kearns and West on July 28,
2015, to conduct a series of interviews with the GSA eligible agencies within the County and other
appropriate stakeholders, including groundwater dependent water users, municipalities, non-profit
organizations, and other stakeholders, to develop an Assessment report to include various opinions
on this issue. The final Assessment Report is included as backup for this agenda item. The Water
Commission voted at its April 16, 2016, meeting to recommend to the Board to use the findings from
this report to launch the public process associated with the designation and governance of GSAs
within the County, as well as the development of the GSP as required under SGMA. — action

S. Public Hearings and Timed Items
5.01* 9:35 a.m. — Public Hearing — Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the East Gridley Highway
and Larkin Road Traffic Signal Project - The Department of Public Works proposes to construct a
traffic signal light at the intersection of East Gridley Highway and Larkin Road. This project will
replace what currently operates as a two-way stop intersection with traffic on the legs of Larkin Road
being required to stop. The project will provide a fully integrated traffic signal light system, left turn
lanes for all four legs of the intersection, signalized pedestrian crossings, and street lighting when
complete. The proposed project will shift the intersection 18 feet north of where it currently is
aligned. The reason for the shift is due to the necessary widening of the road to accommodate the
additional turn lanes and the existence of a high voltage power transmission line just outside the
southerly right of way of East Gridley Highway. The transmission line is in an easement acquired by
PG&E and relocating the line would be cost prohibitive and time consuming for the County. 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 (IS) and supporting environmental studies provide justification for a Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND) pursuant to CEQA. The Proposed MND has been prepared in accordance with
CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines. The IS and Draft MND have been circulated since March 17,
2016, and the review period was extended to close at the conclusion of this Public Hearing. —action
requested — 1) ADOPT THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE EAST GRIDLEY HIGHWAY
AND LARKIN ROAD TRAFFIC SIGNAL PROJECT, PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT 2013-04, FEDERAL HIGHWAY
