3.57* Agreement with Golder Associates - The Public Works Department is requesting approval of a
Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with Golder Associates, Inc. (Golder) for technical design,
technical documents, development of plans and specifications, bid support, landfill gas system
design, and construction project support at the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility. Golder has
provided landfill design for the County since 1996. Landfill design is modular and builds upon the
previous design and construction specifications. Golder has all the engineering documents, plans,
and construction specifications for all of the modules constructed for the lined landfill waste
containment modules. Golder has also designed upgrades to the landfill gas collection system which
has improved gas quality resulting in higher royalties (revenue) from the sale of landfill gas.
Continuity in design saves time, and therefore cost, for each successive module development. Staff
is satisfied with the design and construction specifications that Golder has provided. The Regional
Water Quality Control Board reviews and approves all designs for waste modules and has never
required modifications to Golder's design. Consistency in the design product and bid documents
saves staff time to review, and therefore saves costs for the project. It is staff's estimate that cost
savings could be 15%-20%of the project.The term of the agreement is three years and the estimate
cost is $150,000 - action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

3.58* Agreement with Synagro for Services at the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility - The Board of
Supervisors authorized Public Works to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Biosolids and Sludge
Removal, Dewatering, and Disposal from the Primary Septage Impoundment at the Neal Road
Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF) at its April 26, 2016 meeting. Staff issued the RFP on April 27,
2016. Project specifications include removal, dewatering, drying, and burying approximately 50%of
the solids in the Primary Septage Impoundment. The facility's fill sequencing plan calls for the waste
containment units to be developed over the next several years. The septage ponds will need to be
decommissioned in preparation for excavation of the new waste containment units. There are two
Septage Impoundments at the facility; a primary (solids) pond and a supernatant pond. Removal of
the supernatant pond is scheduled for 2017. The project's goal is to remove approximately 3,000
dry-equivalent tons of solids. It is anticipated this process will provide approximately five feet of
capacity for the rain season. Without the supernatant pond available for the overflow from the
primary pond, it is critical to manage the liquid level in the primary pond prior to the rain season.
Staff anticipates the remaining solids will need to be removed in FY 2018-19 or 2019-20. Four
proposals were received and evaluated by staff. Proposals were evaluated based on a firm's
reputation and experience, capabilities, completeness of a work plan, equipment proposed to be
used, schedule, and cost. The proposal submitted by Synagro was ranked highest by the review
committee. Synagro's proposed cost of$1,260,000 was also the lowest of the four proposals. Based
on the review criteria and scoring the review committee recommends that the County enter into an
agreement with Synagro to perform services associated with the project's scope of work. The
agreement completion date is December 31, 2016 and the services are not-to-exceed $1,260,000 -

3.64* Agreement with RMC Water and Environment (RMC) - The Sustainable Groundwater Management
Act of 2014 (SGMA) went into effect on January 1, 2015. SGMA authorizes local public agencies to
form groundwater sustainability agencies that will be responsible for implementing sustainable
groundwater management through a groundwater sustainability plan. Groundwater sustainability
plans define a course to achieve sustainable groundwater management within 20 years of
implementation. There are four subbasins in Butte County that are subject to SGMA. Butte County
elected to be a groundwater sustainability agency for the subbasins in Butte County. One of the
more complex issues is how adjoining subbasins will account for the interaction between their
respective subbasins. The subbasins in the Sacramento Valley are interconnected to varying degrees.
To address this issue, Butte County received an $85,000 grant award on January 26, 2016, from the
Water Foundation program of the Resources Legacy Fund. The grant will fund the Interbasin
Groundwater Flow Evaluation project. Professional services are necessary to complete the project.
A competitive solicitation process was conducted and the review committee unanimously
recommends Butte County enter an agreement with RMC to conduct specific tasks associated with
the project. The agreement with RMC will begin upon approval of the Board of Supervisors and end
on June 30, 2017. The total cost of the agreement is $85,000, which is funded by a grant from the

4.06* Termination of Local Drought Emergency - A local drought emergency presently exists in Butte
County in accordance with the proclamation made by the Chief Administrative Officer on July 22,
2015, and reaffirmed and ratified by the Board of Supervisors on July 28, 2015.The proclamation has
been renewed at least every 30 days by the Board of Supervisors per the Emergency Services Act.
The purpose of the drought proclamation was to allow the County to deploy resources and execute
contracts under emergency procedures. The local situation resulting from conditions of drought has
been lessened by this year's rain fall and is no longer beyond the capability of local resources to
mitigate. However, the State of California is still in a drought situation and citizens must continue to
conserve water resources in Butte County. The termination of the local drought emergency
declaration will not end Butte County's drought activities. The Butte County Drought Task Force will
continue to meet and provide recommendations, as needed, to the Board of Supervisors in
accordance with the Butte County Drought Preparedness and Mitigation Plan (2005) - action

4.07* Authorization to Issue a Request for Proposal for a Technical Study Related to Community Choice
Aggregation - In response to concerns voiced by several Butte County businesses, and per one of the
action items in the Butte County Regional Economic Development Strategy, County staff has been
researching opportunities to assist both businesses and residents through alternative energy projects
and programs. One such program is Community Choice Aggregation (CCA), which allows local
governments to become an energy purveyor and to purchase electrical energy on the wholesale
market from any source. CCA chooses the source of electrical power for the community and sets its
own rates. CCA only provides electricity and does not own poles or wires; electricity would continue
to be delivered using PG&E transmission and distribution lines. On August 31, 2015, the Board of
Supervisors directed staff to further research CCA including: outreach to business, identification of
formation tasks and associated costs, and identification of potential risks and benefits. Due to a fee
change from the California Public Utility Commission in December 2015, CCA seemed to no longer
make financial sense. However, with decreases in the cost of electricity, CCA has become a viable
option again for many communities. The first step in the CCA pre-formation process is the
completion of a technical study to determine the feasibility of CCA in the Butte County region -

4.08* Refinancing the 2006 Certificates of Participation - In November 2006,the County obtained financing
in the amount of $12,025,000 to fund necessary capital improvements at the Neal Road Recycling
and Waste Facility (NRRWF), including module closures and the development of new disposal
modules. The loan proceeds were used to fund $10,700,000 in improvements at the NRRWF, a
$1,202,500 required reserve fund, and $122,500 in issuance costs. The outstanding loan balance
after the July 1, 2016 payment will be$5,370,000. The terms of the 2006 Certificates of Participation
(2006 COPS) prevented any prepayment of the balance prior to the call date of July 1, 2016. Due to
the upcoming call date and the low interest rate environment, the County solicited refinancing
proposals from banks and public financing agencies for the refunding/refinancing of the 2006 COPS.
The County received six proposals. The current annual interest rates for the 2006 COPS are 4.00%
and 4.50%. Staff recommends the County refinance the existing debt with Capital One Public
Finance which has offered a fixed interest rate of 1.79%, with no fees, no reserve fund requirement,
and no special covenants. Funds currently held by the trustee, including the reserve fund, will be
used to reduce the outstanding balance to approximately$4,220,000. It is estimated refinancing the
2006 COPS will result in total gross savings to the NRRWF of $345,000. Additionally, the loan term
will be shortened by one year, to a maturity of July 1, 2020 instead of the current maturity date of
July 1, 2021 - action requested -ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County

4.09* Resolution for PERS Post-Retirement Employment Exemption - The California Public Employees'
(CaIPERS) Pension Reform Act of 2013 requires newly retired persons to "sit out" for at least 180
days before returning to work for an employer in the same retirement system which they receive a
retirement allowance. An exemption to this rule is provided with governing body approval and
adoption of a "Resolution for Exception to the 180-Day Wait Period to Hire CaIPERS Retiree Per
Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21224" that must be submitted to CaIPERS. Requested is
approval of a certification resolution to allow the extra-help hiring of Burjessa Tighe as a Certified
Nurse Practitioner for the Public Health Department. Burjessa Tighe is scheduled to retire as a
regular-help employee on June 30, 2016. The proposed extra-help hire date is July 5, 2016. The
position of Certified Nurse Practitioner is necessary for the Public Health Clinic to continue to provide
medical care services to clinic clients. Without this position filled, appointments in the clinic will need
to be canceled, possibly forcing clients to find services elsewhere. Also, the department will lose out
on revenue generating activities. A continuous recruitment for a Physician's Assistant or Certified
Nurse Practitioner are currently running and have been running continuously since December 2014.
Based on previous recruitments, the department anticipates that it will take some time to fill the
vacancy with a qualified individual. As an extra-help employee Burjessa Tighe will work until a
replacement is trained and provide coverage as needed to assure continuity and access to care for
clinic clients. The Director of Human Resources has reviewed the facts and concurs that the request
is consistent with the exemption outlined in Government Code Section 7522.56(f)(1) and supports
the request - action requested - 1) APPROVE PERS POST-RETIREMENT EXEMPTION PURSUANT TO
SECTION 7522.56 OF THE GOVERNMENT CODE; AND, 2) ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE
CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Health)
4.10* Report on Countywide Radio Communications Systems - The Countywide radio system is a critical
component of public safety and emergency communications. The system itself is comprised of
hundreds of pieces of equipment distributed throughout the County including: radio towers,
antennae, communications equipment vaults, transmitters and receivers, consoles, mobile units in
vehicles, and hand-held devices. Much of the current equipment is outdated or obsolete technology
which no longer performs to the level required of a modern communications system. In addition, in
2013 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) imposed "mandatory narrow banding" on radio
systems to support a greater use of available radio frequency spectrum. The narrow banding
implementation, applied through largely existing infrastructure, unintentionally degraded the
performance of the existing radio system. Last year, Information Systems issued a Request for
Proposal (RFP) to upgrade or replace the current radio system. Since receiving the proposals and
selecting a vendor, staff has been working to further refine the scope of work, necessary equipment,
and design of the new system. The FY 2016-17 Recommended Budget includes initial funding for this
completely new 700 MHz radio system, which will supply radio communications services to County
departments. Staff will present an overview of the County's existing radio communications system
and the proposed replacement system -action requested -ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION. (Information

miles north-northeast of the City of Chico Sphere of Influence along Butte -Tehama line, off Cohasset

Broadcasters - KZFR Golden Valley Broadcasters has submitted an application for an Outdoor Festival
License per Chapter 12, Article III. Outdoor Festivals (Butte County Code Sections 12-25 through 12-
33). The festival is proposed for one day, Saturday, September 10, 2016, from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00

festival site is at the south end of Estes Road (2500 Estes Road), south and west of Chico. The festival
is described as a benefit concert with Ray Wylie Hubbard and will include food trucks and beverage
booths with bottled water provided free. The Department of Development Services has completed
an environmental review of the application, a site visit, and determined since no permanent
structures will be built, the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act, per Section 15304 (e) of the CEQA Guidelines - "Minor temporary use of land having negligible
or no permanent effects on the environment, including carnivals, etc." The festival application was
circulated to affected County departments and other agencies for their comments and requirements
-action requested— 1) FIND THE FESTIVAL TO BE CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT UNDER SECTION 15304(E)
OF CEQA; AND, 2) APPROVE THE APPLICATION FOR OUTDOOR FESTIVAL LICENSE MISC16-0009

5.02* 9:35 a.m. —Timed Item - Consideration of a Resolution Constituting Compensation Agreement with
the City of Oroville for the Sale of the Gateway Development Properties -The Gateway Project site is
located within the City of Oroville adjacent to the Highway 70/Montgomery Street off ramp. The site
consists of four parcels owned by the City of Oroville, two of which were formally owned by the
Oroville Redevelopment Agency. The City of Oroville has entered into a Master Disposition and
Development Agreement (MDDA) with Snyder Commercial Real Estate, LLC for development of the
site. The MDDA provides for the City to sell the property to Snyder Development for $1.00, and in
turn Snyder Development will construct a $35 million development consisting of a quality hotel,
restaurant pads, and a mix of commercial and retail space. The process for the sale of the two
parcels that were formally owned by the Oroville Redevelopment Agency is governed by the Oroville
Successor Agency's Long Range Property Management Plan. The plan states that prior to executing
the sale, the City of Oroville shall enter into compensation agreements with all 16 of the taxing
entities affected by the sale. The City of Oroville is requesting the Board of Supervisors consider
approving a resolution that will serve as the compensation agreement for the sale of the property for
$1.00, noting that the long term property tax revenues generated through the sale and development
of the property, with an estimated new assessed value of approximately $1.1 million, will be much
higher than if the property remained vacant. By approving the resolution, the County agrees to
waive approximately$192,798 in one-time revenue, which represents a portion of the revenues that
would have been received as a result of a fair market value sale of the property - action requested -

2.01* Resolution Refinancing the 2006 Certificates of Participation - In November 2006,the County
obtained financing in the amount of$12,025,000 to fund necessary capital improvements at the Neal
Road Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF), including module closures and the development of new
disposal modules.The loan proceeds were used to fund $10,700,000 in improvements at the
NRRWF, a $1,202,500 required reserve fund, and $122,500 in issuance costs.The outstanding loan
balance after the July 1, 2016 payment will be$5,370,000. The terms of the 2006 Certificates of
Participation (2006 COPS) prevented any prepayment of the balance prior to the call date of July 1,
2016. Due to the upcoming call date and the low interest rate environment,the County solicited
refinancing proposals from banks and public financing agencies for the refunding/refinancing of the
2006 COPS. The County received six proposals. The current annual interest rates for the 2006 COPS
