AGENDA -JUNE 12, 2012
General Services: Concurrent with the request by Human Resources Department above,
the General Services Department is requesting to add one (1) position of
Contracts/Procurement Agent, Senior and two (2) positions of Contracts/Procurement
Agent. The current job classifications do not encompass all tasks required on a daily basis
to complete both the contracting and procurement functions and do not meet the
operational needs of the department. The net changes in salary and benefit costs will
result in a savings of $7,535.
In addition the department requests to add two (2) term positions of
Contracts/Procurement Agent, Associate with a term date of June 30, 2013. The
department is unable to keep up with the existing contract/procurement workload forcing
the use of approximately 1.5 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions in the past year on an ad
hoc basis. Adding two (2) Limited Term positions until June 30, 2013, will allow the
Department to eliminate ad hoc labor and to implement procedures that will reduce
routine workload within the department to a manageable level without additional
resources. Replacing the 1.5 FTE positions with Limited Term positions will results in a
onetime increase in cost of approximately $45,350. The limited term positions will
terminate June 30, 2013.
Initially all these changes will increase the department's allocations by five (5) positions
until departmental recruitments can be conducted to fill the three (3) new regular-help
vacancies. The existing contracting/procurement job classifications will be eliminated
effective September 1, 2012, as specified in the FY 2012-13 Recommended Budget -

Nimshew Road. Skyway is a heavily traveled arterial road that is experiencing localized
failures in the road surface. In order for next year's chip seal to be effective, these
pavement failures must be repaired by digging or grinding out the failed sections of the
road and repaving the excavated areas with new asphaltic concrete. Public Works has
determined that this work can be most efficiently done by a private contractor. The
estimates the cost of this work is $300,000. Project plans and specifications are available
for review at Butte County Public Works -action requested -ADOPT THE PROJECT AND
SPECIFICATIONS; AND AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO ADVERTISE FOR

3.41* Award of Contract: Construction of Landfill Gas Wells at Neal Road Recycling and Waste
Facility, Protect #757-5983 - At its February 28, 2012 meeting, the Board authorized staff
to advertise for bids to construct gas collection wells in the active area of the landfill to
comply with California Air Resources Board's AB 32 Landfill Methane Rule. Previous to
the implementation of the AB 32 Landfill Methane Rule, surface emissions monitoring for
methane was not required in the active area of the landfill. Sampling in the active area
suggests that surface emissions may be detected above the new compliance threshold.
Accordingly, installation of gas collection wells is necessary to control landfill gas
migration. Though this is a project to comply with State regulations, there is a side benefit
of providing additional landfill gas for the energy facility. On April 18, 2012, staff released
a Request for Bids. On May 11, 2012, five bids were received and opened. SCS Field
Services' bid of $141,800 was determined to be the lowest responsible bid. SCS Field
Services' bid was 15.28% above the Engineer's estimate of $123,000. Bids ranged from a
low of $141,800 to $191,500 (15.28% to 55.69% above estimate). LFG Control
Corporation filed a protest against awarding the contract to SCS Field Services. The
Director of Public Works considered LFG Control Corporation's concerns, asked SCS Field
Services for clarifying information, and issued a written decision rejecting the protest -
action requested -AWARD CONTRACT TO SCS FIELD SERVICES AND AUTHORIZE PUBLIC
WORKS DIRECTOR TO SIGN AGREEMENT SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND

3.44* County Service Area 14 (Chapman Li~htin~) -Public Works and PG&E Proiect Adding
Additional 17 LED Street Lights and Converting Existing Lights to LED - At the request of
community members within County Service Area (CSA) 14, in the Chapman area of Chico,
17 new streetlights are to be installed on existing PG&E poles. Public Works has
determined that the new lights, as well as the existing 33 sodium vapor street lights
within CSA 14, should be LED lights. This will make the lighting effects consistent within
the community and save on monthly billing charges because LED lights use less energy
and have a lower monthly charge rate from PG&E. Public Works also recommends that all
the mast arms for each light be 6 feet in length instead of PG&E's standard length of 30
inches. This will move the street lights out over the roadway to provide better and safer
lighting. PG&E has also informed Public Works that two lights within the CSA are
currently being paid by two separate parcel owners. Public Works recommends
transferring the billing responsibility of those two street lights to CSA 14. Approval is
requested for a related budget adjustment in the amount of $35,000 (CSA 14 fund
balance) -action requested -APPROVE CHAPMAN STREET LIGHTING PROJECT; AND

SHERIFF- 3.45* The Superior Court of California, County of Butte - In FY 2012-13, the Sheriff's Office will
CORONER provide all security functions in Butte County Superior Courts. Pursuant to the 2011
Realignment Act (AB118), the majority of security funding was removed from the Court's
budget and allocated directly from the State of California Controller to the County Trial
Court Security Account (TCSA). Commencing July 1, 2012, all security funding will be
allocated directly to the TCSA by the State and from there directly to the Sheriff,
bypassing the local Court. In conjunction with this AB 118 funding realignment, all
responsibility for security staffing will fall with the Sheriff and the Court will discontinue
the Court-funded Court Attendant classification. The Sheriff's Office has been working on
a transition plan since January and recently agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) with the Courts. The MOU stipulates funding for Security Officer positions filled
between April 1, 2012 and June 30, 2012 with the Court reimbursing the Sheriff's Office
for salary and benefit, uniform and equipment costs associated with the new positions. In
anticipation of this change, on January 24, 2012, the Board approved the addition of a
Security Officer position classification to take the place of the Court Attendant positions,
and approved one position allocation to the Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff will need a total of
8 Security Officers and is requesting to add the 7 additional Security Officer positions to
facilitate a smoother transition of services (action contained in the Human Resources
agenda item). All positions are funded in FY 2012-13 budget, but the Sheriff will need
appropriations to fund April 4, 2012 through June 30, 2012, funded by the Court through

WATER AND 3.46* Final Draft of the Delta Plan -The Delta Stewardship Council (DSC) is charged through the

CONSERVATION released the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) based on its 5th Staff Draft Delta
Plan. The DSC is intending to finalize the Delta Plan and the Environmental Impact Report
in a few months. The Delta Plan is a strategic document that includes legally enforceable
policies, strategies and actions within the Delta to further advance the "coequal goals of
providing a more reliable water supply for California and protecting, restoring and
enhancing the Delta ecosystem." According to the Delta Reform Act, the Delta Plan was
limited to address defined "covered actions" that will "occur, in whole or part, within the
boundaries of the Delta or Suisan Marsh." On May 14th, the DSC released the Final Staff
Draft Delta Plan. The Final Draft Delta Plan and the DEIR remain inconsistent, incomplete
and flawed. The Final Staff Draft Delta Plan includes vague language and specific policies
that could lead to having the northern Delta watershed responsible for providing increase
flows to the Delta. The Final Draft Plan includes an unauthorized expansion of its scope,
would undermine regional water supply sustainability and would redirect impacts to the
Delta watershed. Enforceable actions outside of the Delta are not authorized by statute
but the recommendations in the Delta Plan provide direction to the regulatory agencies.
The DSC has scheduled to meet on June 14 and 15 to discuss the Final Staff Draft Plan.
The perspective of the Butte County Board of Supervisors will be important to submit to

Economic Development Administration (EDA) requires the 3CORE Economic Development
District to complete a five-year planning document, the Comprehensive Economic
Development Strategy (CEDS), in order to guide regional economic development efforts.
3CORE utilizes the CEDS to identify and prioritize public works and other economic
development projects within the District for their member jurisdictions. Part of the CEDS
document includes a list of priority economic development projects for each 3CORE
member jurisdiction. "Priority A" projects include those projects that are proposed to
move forward in the near term, "Priority B" projects include those that are proposed to
move forward within the next five years, and "Priority C" projects include those projects
that are likely to move forward sometime in the future. Taking into consideration the
EDA's Investment Guidelines, and the 2011-2012 approved Butte County CEDS priority
project list, staff is recommending a 2012-2013 priority project list for approval. When
developing the priority project list, staff took into consideration the General Plan 2030

statewide program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by diverting a portion of
commercially generated solid waste from landfills. According to a 2008 study, the
commercial sector generates approximately 68% of the solid waste disposed of in
California, which contains a high percentage of recyclable materials. AB 341 requires
businesses generating four or more cubic yards of solid waste per week and multi-family
complexes of five or more units to recycle. The law also requires waste collection
companies to promote and provide recycling opportunities to these customers. AB 341
requires local government to monitor the implementation of the commercial solid waste
recycling program which includes education, outreach, and participation "that is
appropriate for the jurisdiction" allowing some flexibility for local government to revise
requirements for rural areas. The proposed amendments to the Butte County Code,
Chapter 31, "Solid Waste Collection, Management and Recycling" will bring Butte County
in compliance with AB 341 -action requested -WAIVE THE FIRST READING OF THE
