streets in the Chico, Durham,and Gridley areas during the summer of 2018. A total of 20.1 miles
of roads are planned to be chip sealed this Year. It is more cost effective to contract for this
service rather than to utilize Public Works crews to place the crushed rock and perform the
roadway striping. The engineer's estimate for the purchase and application of the asphalt
emulsion is estimated between $320,000 and $400,000. The Department of Public Works is
requesting authorization to bid this portion of the work.After bids are received,the Department
will return to the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation to award the project — action
requested — 1) APPROVE THE PROJECT; 2) AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO
ADVERTISE AND SOLICIT BIDS FOR THE 2018 CHIP SEAL PROJECT; AND 3) AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR
TO SIGN PLANS. (Public Works)
3.37 Exchange of County Rule 20A Underground Utility Credits for County of Colusa Underground
Utility District -On May 23, 2018, the Department of Public Works received an inquiry from the
Colusa County Public Works Director as to the potential for Butte County to provide $2 million
of Rule 20A Underground Utility Credits for Colusa County's use on a Caltrans Complete Streets
project in the City and County of Colusa. Due to under-grounding cost increases, Colusa County
needs additional credits to fully fund their project. Colusa County offered to pay Butte County a
fraction of the value of the credits. The Board of Supervisors has previously approved transfers
to jurisdictions within Butte County without payment.Colusa County's request would be the first
time the County has considered a monetary exchange for the Rule 20A credits. Staff discussed
the exchange concept with the County's PG&E Rule 20A liaison, and were told there are no
restrictions on how or when an exchange can happen.A number of other public agencies signed
agreements and completed transfers to other agencies. Butte County has no identified future
Rule 20A projects that would require use of the 20A credits. Given Colusa County's short time
frame, there was insufficient time to develop an agreement and resolution for the Board of
Supervisors to consider at the June 12, 2018 meeting. Staff requests Board of Supervisors
approval of the concept, with direction to staff to draft the necessary documents for review by
County Counsels in Butte and Colusa counties.Once the documents are approved by both County
Counsels, the necessary documents authorizing the transfer of the Rule 20A credits will be
brought to the Board of Supervisors at a future meeting for final approval —action requested —
DIRECT STAFF TO DRAFT THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS BETWEEN BUTTE AND COLUSA COUNTIES
TO ALLOW AN EXCHANGE OF $2 MILLION IN BUTTE COUNTY RULE 20A CREDITS, AND RETURN
TO THE BOARD AT A FUTURE MEETING FOR CONSIDERATION. (Public Works)
3.38 Budget Adjustment for CSA 17 Zone 2 - County Service Area (CSA) 17 Zone 2 provides alley

the CSA needs appropriation to reimburse the Road Fund for the project costs. The CSA fund
balance will be used to cover the expenses for the project—action requested—APPROVE BUDGET
ADJUSTMENT(4/5 VOTE REQUIRED). (Public Works)

filed in 1984 by inmates in the County jail (Jones v. Brooks, Superior Court Case No. 084429),the
parties entered into a court-ordered Consent Decree on February 22, 1985, that is under the
jurisdiction of the Butte County Superior Court. In accordance with the County's obligation to
provide inmates with "meaningful access to the courts," the Consent Decree requires that the
County jail maintain a law library staffed by Legal Research Assistants(LRA's),who are California
State University, Chico students participating in the university's paralegal program.The Consent
Decree established that LRA's are employees of the CSU,Chico Research Foundation and covered
by CSU, Chico Research Foundation's worker's compensation coverage.The agreement provides

3.40 Agreement with State of California for Inmate Medical Expenses - When an inmate requires
medical care outside the jail facility, the Sheriff's Office, in conjunction with California Forensics
Medical Group (CFMG), pay for the inmate's hospital stay. The California Department of Health
Care Services (DHCS) is administering a Medi-Cal Inmate Program (MCIP), a program for Medi-
Cal eligible inmates housed in county jail facilities. MCIP allows hospitals to invoice the State for
medical services provided to inmates admitted to the hospital. MCIP then pays the hospital
directly at Medi-Cal rates, and invoices the County for the required match funds. Under MCIP,
DHCS requires an agreement stating the maximum payable for the fiscal year. The term of the
agreement is July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, with an amount not-to-exceed $478,241.04
($475,000 for reimbursement costs, and $3,241.04 in administrative costs). Participating
counties are required to pay the full administrative charge regardless of MCIP payments made
to medical service providers. The maximum payable amount is an estimate based on possible
claims and the jail's history of hospital expenses—action requested-APPROVE AGREEMENT AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Sheriff-Coroner)
3.41 Sheriff Civil Division Vehicle Purchase-The Sheriff's Office is in need of an additional fully marked
patrol vehicle for the civil division. The Behavioral Health Department recently ordered a Ford
Explorer that was delivered as a police interceptor model, which lacks a third row seat. After
discussion between the two departments, it was decided the Sheriff's Office would purchase the
Ford Explorer thus allowing Behavioral Health to purchase a vehicle more appropriate for their
needs. Funds for the purchase of the vehicle are from the Civil Fund.This appropriation is for the
vehicle purchase only. Funding for equipment and installation will be appropriated next fiscal
year — action requested — 1) APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED); AND 2)
AUTHORIZE CAPITAL ASSET PURCHASE. (Sheriff-Coroner)
3.42 Relief of Capital Asset Accountability for Commercial Washer - In 1995, the Sheriff's Office
purchased a commercial washing machine for inmate clothing. Due to age and wear the machine
had no useful life remaining and was removed and replaced with a new machine. The Sheriff's
Office requests to release department accountability of Unimac Washer. The request is
supported by the Auditor-Controller's Officer — action requested - RELIEF OF FIXED ASSET
ACCOUNTABILITY. (Sheriff-Coroner)

BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA-JUNE 12,2018
3.43 Court Collection Discharge of Accountability - The Treasurer-Tax Collector recommends the
Board of Supervisors discharge from the court collections portfolio, cases that have been
deemed uncollectible. Uncollectible accounts can consist of, but are not limited to:accounts with
a date of birth prior to 1960; with no wages or payment in the last 10 Years; no social security
number or valid driver's license number; with a citation date prior to 2010; a deceased debtor;
or where contracted outside collections agencies were also unable to obtain payment. Under the
provisions of Government Code section 25257, the Tax Collector may request from the Board of
Supervisors a discharge from accountability for the collection of court-ordered debt or bail, and
any other charge pertaining thereto, if the amount is so small as to not justify the cost of
collection, or if collection enforcement is impractical.The discharge process is supported by the
Butte County Superior Court and the Judicial Council, and allows the Treasurer-Tax Collector to
inactivate the accounts and remove the total due from the outstanding accounts receivable that
is reported by the County to the State annually.This action does not eliminate the case or relieve
the obligation for payment; rather, it solely removes the responsibility of the County to collect
and report on the discharged delinquent debt cases.The Treasurer-Tax Collector performed the
first Discharge of Accountability in 2015, and desires to discharge eligible debt on a regular basis.
There are 3,144 accounts totaling $2,999,159.45 that are currently eligible for discharge. This
Discharge of Accountability will enable the Treasurer-Tax Collector to more accurately report the
percentage of collected debt against the total debt subject to collection activity, and will ensure
no further collection activity on the listed cases past the statute of limitations—action requested
—APPROVE REQUEST FOR DISCHARGE FROM ACCOUNTABILITY. (Treasurer-Tax Collector)
3.44 Delinquent Unsecured Tax Discharge of Accountability - The Treasurer-Tax Collector
recommends discharging accountability from collection efforts on delinquent, unsecured
accounts on the property tax roll that are 10 Years or older and considered uncollectible. Under
the provisions of Revenue and Taxation Code section 2923, the Tax Collector may request from
the Board of Supervisors a discharge from accountability for the collection of taxes, penalty, and
interest, and any other charge pertaining thereto, if the amount is so small as to not justify the
cost of collection or if collection enforcement is impractical. The discharge of accountability
would allow staff in the Auditor-Controller's Office to inactivate the accounts and remove the
total due from the delinquent unsecured tax roll.This action would not relieve the taxpayer from
the responsibility of paying the bill, but Treasurer-Tax Collector staff would no longer actively
pursue the accounts. The delinquent unsecured tax roll currently contains 335 tax accounts
(boats, airplanes, businesses, mobile homes, mining claims, etc.)that the Department considers
to be uncollectible. Collection efforts by staff and a third-party collection agency have been
exhausted. The accounts on the discharge list represent $380,952.23 in delinquent unsecured
taxes, penalties, and interest. The request for discharge of accountability for these accounts is
supported by the Auditor-Controller's Office — action requested — APPROVE REQUEST FOR
DISCHARGE FROM ACCOUNTABILITY. (Treasurer-Tax Collector)
3.45 Agreement Amendment with Ontario Systems, LLC for Mail Services - The Treasurer-Tax

Business Systems, Inc., and began providing services in accordance with the existing Columbia
contract. The Treasurer-Tax Collector recommends amending the agreement to assign the
contract to the successor company and extend the terms through June 30, 2019. The
amendment would also increase the maximum amount payable by $40,000; from $132,000 to
$172,000—action requested—APPROVE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR

5.01 9:20 am—Pub I ic Hearing to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration fort he East Rio Bonito Bridge
Replacement Projects - The Department of Public Works proposes to replace two existing
substandard bridges on East Rio Bonito Road crossing the Sutter Butte Canal and the Hamilton
Slough. The new bridges will span 46 feet and 67 feet respectively and will be connected by
approximately 2,500 feet of newly constructed roadway on an improved alignment. The new
alignment will follow gently reversing curves and have a design speed of 35 mph. This will result
in the elimination of two sharp 15 mph curves on the existing alignment of which a portion will
be abandoned and a portion maintained to accommodate property owner access and utility
service. The new road section will have two 12-foot lanes and 4-foot shoulders for a total width
of 32 feet that will meet the minimum width required by the American Association of State
Highways and Transportation Officials design specifications.The segment of East Rio Bonito Road
between Highway 99 and Dos Rios Road will be closed to through traffic during construction of
both the Hamilton Slough Bridge and Sutter Butte Canal Bridge. Local access will be maintained
throughout the project by staging the bridge replacements so they will not be under construction
concurrently. 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 17, 2018 and ended May 21, 2018—action requested — 1)

September 16, 2014, Governor Brown signed into law a package of bills (SB 1168, AB 1739 and
SB 1319) collectively called the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). SGMA
established Bulletin 118 basins and subbasins as the planning units for implementation of the
new state law. However, the existing Bulletin 118 subbasins were recognized as unsuitable in
some cases for implementing SGMA. As a result, a process to modify basin boundaries became
part of SGMA. The Department of Water Resources (DWR) provided an opportunity for
Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) to submit requests by June 30, 2018, to adjust the
current boundaries of groundwater basins and subbasins in order to promote sustainable
groundwater management. Butte County overlies portions of four subbasins: Vina, West Butte,
East Butte, and Wyandotte Creek. In coordination with the City of Chico,the City of Oroville, and
other GSAs in these subbasins, the Department of Water and Resource Conservation proposes
basin boundary modifications to the Vina and Wyandotte Creek subbasins that affect the Colusa,
Corning,West Butte, and East Butte subbasins. The Groundwater Pumpers Advisory Committee
on April 17, 2018, and the Butte County Water Commission on May 2, 2018, voted to support
the basin boundary modification for Vina and Wyandotte Creek. The County received letters of
support for the County's basin boundary modifications in Vina and Wyandotte Creek.
Additionally, other GSAs are proposing basin boundary modifications in the four subbasins and
are seeking letters of support from Butte County — action requested — 1) ADOPT RESOLUTION

5.06 10:10 am—Update on Commercial Cannabis Activities in California -State law allows businesses
to conduct commercial cannabis activities for medical and adult use cannabis when permissible
by the local jurisdiction. State agencies issued more than 4,100 licenses for various commercial
cannabis activities beginning January 1, 2018. All the licenses are temporary while the agencies
process annual license applications. Local jurisdictions have the authority to ban or regulate the
activities up to what is allowed by the State.Twenty-two counties and 144 cities allow some type
of commercial cannabis activity. The activities are primarily allowed in jurisdictions south of
Sacramento and along the coast. The Board of Supervisors passed two ordinances on October
24,2017 amending Chapters 34A and 34C of the County Code to prohibit all commercial cannabis
activities within the unincorporated jurisdiction with the exception of deliveries, which may
originate from a licensed retailer outside the County. The Board of Supervisors requested staff
provide an update about commercial cannabis activities approximately six months after the State
began issuing licenses. Limited data is available about the effects of the commercial cannabis
industry in California since State regulations were recently operationalized.The update includes:
a summary of commercial cannabis regulations by County; a summary of temporary licenses
issued by the State for commercial cannabis activities;and an account of the State taxes collected
for commercial cannabis activities in the first quarter of 2018—action requested —ACCEPT FOR
INFORMATION. (County Administration)
