4.05 March 3, 2020 Primary Election Vote Centers - In 2016, the Governor signed the Voters Choice
Act (VCA) through SB 450, which authorizes pilot counties to conduct any election by all mailed
ballot with Vote Centers commencing in 2018, and requires the remaining counties to adopt the
VCA model by 2022. With over 19,000 displaced Camp Fire voters in mind and careful
consideration of all options, the County Registrar of Voters has decided to opt in to the VCA
model in 2020. Each registered voter in the County will receive a Vote -by -Mail (VBM) ballot with
a pre -paid return envelope in the mail 29 days before the March 3, 2020 Presidential Primary
Election. Vote Centers will replace the traditional polling locations. Regardless of what precinct
the voter resides in, they may utilize the services of any of the 13 Vote Centers during the
election. At the Vote Centers, voters can expect to receive assistance in conditional voter
registration, voter accessibility assistance with the ICX voting machines, VBM ballot drop off, and
replacement VBM ballots. Voters can also drop off their ballots starting 28 days prior to the
election at any of the nine secure ballot drop off boxes located throughout the County — action
requested -ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION. (Clerk -Recorder/ County Registrar of Voters)
4.06 Agreements with Cinquini & Passarino, RIFE Engineers, Wood Rodgers, and NorthStar for
Professional Record of Survey Map Examiner and Municipal Land Surveying Services and Budget
Adjustment - Most parcels within the Camp Fire burn area do not have a boundary survey map
of record. Rebuilding within the Town of Paradise requires these parcels have a boundary survey
to formally establish lot lines to obtain a building permit from the Town. The property owners
may need to submit a Record of Survey to clearly document the location of the property
boundaries in accordance with the Professional Land Surveyor's Act. This Act requires review and
approval by the County Surveyor. County staff estimate 2,000 parcels may require boundary
surveys over the next three years, which exceeds staff capacity for review. The Department
solicited for qualified professional land surveyors, received seven statements of qualifications,
and interviewed five firms to further evaluate qualifications. The Department recommends
contracting with four firms for an amount not -to -exceed $600,000 each for three years for
Record of Survey reviews. Additionally, the firms may provide municipal land surveying services
as needed by the County Surveyor's Office. Cost for services for Record of Survey reviews vary.
The Department has a user fee of $148 per hour for these reviews based on the recent user fee
study. The fee is not sufficient to cover the costs of contract reviewers. Current year costs of
$19,500 require use of General Fund Contingencies. The estimated cost to the General Fund over
three years may range between $150,000 and $450,000. Staff recommends the Board of
Supervisors provide direction to develop a fee to cover expenses and reduce impacts to the
General Fund — action requested - 1) APPROVE AGREEMENTS (4) AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO
SIGN; 2) APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FROM THE GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATION FOR
CONTINGENCIES (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED); AND 3) PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF. (Public Works)

at 1:00 p.m. Acceptance of the Recommended Budget also provides the authority for continuing
County expenditures until the Adopted Budget is approved in July. Budget hearings provide an
opportunity for the community to comment on the Recommended Budget and for the Board of
Supervisors to make adjustments to the budget. The budget hearing will include a presentation
and recommended adjustments to the budget. The Recommended Budget is the work product
of many County employees in all twenty-three departments. The efforts and cooperation put
forth by department heads and their staff resulted in a recommended spending plan that is
prudent, balanced, and responsible given the financial uncertainties the County faces post -Camp
Fire. The Recommended Budget may be found at: www.buttecounty.net/countybudget - action
requested - 1) ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDED BUDGET FOR FY 2019-20 AS THE AUTHORITY FOR
EXPENDITURES DURING PREPARATION OF THE FY 2019-20 ADOPTED BUDGET AND AS THE BASIS

4.10 Grant Agreement with the Golden State Finance Authority (GSFA) for the Implementation of the
2018 Camp Fire Rebuild Incentive Program (Program) and Budget Adjustment — Supervisor
Connelly and Supervisor Ritter requested staff identify funds to cover the full cost of building
permits for Veterans who are rebuilding after the Camp Fire. GSFA has allocated $250,000 to
assist fire survivors in Butte County after the Camp Fire. The allocation provides funding to
reimburse the full amount of permit fees paid for by honorably discharged Veterans who are
eligible Camp Fire survivors choosing to rebuild their home in the communities where the fire
destruction occurred. The funds must be returned to GSFA if they are not spent by the County
within two years of the agreement. The funds may also be used in the same manner as those
provided by the North Valley Community Foundation (to provide partial reimbursement [50%
maximum, up to $3,500] for permit fees paid for by eligible Camp Fire survivors) if the funds are
not anticipated to be fully expended for Veterans within two years. Staff will continue looking
for additional funding as these funds may not cover fees for all Veterans who want to rebuild
after the Camp Fire. GSFA is a joint powers authority comprised of members of the Rural County
Representatives of California, which provides affordable housing and energy efficiency
programs. GSFA has provided assistance to member communities after disasters including
funding that assisted fire survivors in Butte County after the 2017 fires — action requested — 1)

BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED). (County Administration)
4.11 Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) Project Priorities, Agreement with Ernst and Young for
Grant Writing for HMGP Applications, and Budget Adjustment - Butte County submitted 31
Notices of Interest (NOI) to the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) through the
HMGP for the Hazard Mitigation Grant DR -4407 (California Wildfires). Afull list of submitted NOls
is included with the agenda item. HMGP funds are made available after federally declared
disasters to fund mitigation projects to prevent future disasters. Projects must be completed and
costs incurred within 36 months. Several NOls submitted by the County were determined by the
State to represent eligible HMGP activities and Butte County has been invited to submit full
applications for funding. Each grant requires a 25% local match. County staff identified nine
HMGP priority projects based on disaster mitigations, likelihood for grant award, and available
local match funding. The list of priority projects are included with the agenda item along with
the identified source of matching funds. Grant applications are due July 5, 2019. Writing these
grant applications takes significant time and technical expertise. The Department recommends
a contract with Ernst and Young to write and submit seven grant applications for the priority
projects with a term of two months for an amount not -to -exceed $167,640. The contract
expense requires $120,000 from General Fund Contingencies. The remaining $47,640 will be paid
from the Road Fund. The applications for the General Plan Update and Code Compliance will be
written by staff from the Department of Development Services. Costs incurred to prepare the
application may be reimbursed by the HMGP if the grant is awarded. Staff requests the Board of
Supervisors provide direction to draft applications for the nine priority projects and return to the
Board for approval of a commitment letter for local matching funds for each application — action
requested -1) APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; 2) APPROVE BUDGET

5.02 10:00 am - Public Hearing to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Ord Ferry Road
Bridge Replacement Project - The Department of Public Works proposes to replace an existing
bridge structure with a new bridge along the section of Ord Ferry Road that crosses Little Chico
Creek. The Ord Ferry Road at Little Chico Creek Bridge replacement project is located
approximately 3.5 miles west of the town of Dayton. The Caltrans Structure Inventory and
Appraisal Report classifies the bridge as Structurally Deficient making it eligible for replacement
with federal transportation funds administered by Caltrans. The proposed new bridge will
replace the existing narrow structure on the current, existing alignment and will be
approximately 640 feet long by approximately 43 feet wide and carry two, 12 -foot traffic lanes
and two, eight foot shoulders. Traffic shall be maintained by staging construction on the existing
alignment requiring the closure of a portion of Ord Ferry Road for two construction seasons
(approximately 18 months). Signalized traffic controls will be utilized to maintain a single lane
of traffic through the project site. A temporary construction access road parallel to the bridge
will also serve oversized agricultural equipment from the adjacent ranching operations on a
notification basis. 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 April 10, 2019 and ended May 20, 2019 — action requested — 1)

5.03 10:30 am - 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 recommends 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. (Water and Resource Conservation)
