3.44* Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Section 51-3 of Butte County Code Chapter 51,
"Contracts/Procurement Sunset Pilot Project" - On June 12, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved
the Contracts/Procurement Sunset Pilot Project and adopted Ordinance 4045, effective July 1, 2012,
adding Chapter 51 to the Butte County Code to allow a Pilot Team to develop and test improved
contracts/procurement processes. Chapter 51 of the Butte County Code was subsequently amended
on June 10, 2014 to extend the sunset of the Chapter to August 31, 2015, to allow County staff
additional time to complete the Pilot Project. The new Contracts/Procurement Manual is nearly
complete and General Services is now developing the training and audit processes necessary to

Section 51-3, extending it to August 31, 2016 to allow for completion of the final steps in the Project –

3.45* Resolution to Amend the Salary Ordinance– The Department of Human Resources has prepared a
resolution to amend the Salary Ordinance. The following are the sections of the Salary Ordinance to
be amended. These changes will increase the County allocations by three (3) positions.
Human Resources: The Human Resources Department is requesting to flexibly staff one (1) vacant
position of Administrative Assistant/Office Specialist, Senior/Office Specialist/Office Assistant to
Human Resources Technician/Human Resources Technician, Associate/Office Specialist, Senior. This
change will allow the department more flexibility when hiring as well as allowing the ability to cross
train job functions throughout the department. This change will leave the total allocations unchanged
and have no additional fiscal impact on the County General Fund. In addition the department is
requesting to add the classification of Contract Physician to Section 58, Reference B titled, “Appointed
Officials with Bi-weekly Range Assignments”. This classification will be an “At-Will” position that is
appointed by the Appointed Authority for the hiring Department. The Salary Range for this position
shall be set at $6,193.30-$8,299.62 biweekly (Range 97).
Behavioral Health: Concurrent with Human Resources request above, the Behavioral Health
Department is requesting to add one (1) Contract Physician position to its allocations. This position will
be a contracted position with a specialty in the area of alcohol and drug addiction. Substance Use
Disorder (SUD) services have been undergoing many changes with recent state audits and in
preparation for restructuring services with the upcoming State 1115 waiver. Having a certified drug
and alcohol addiction MD will be a significant benefit as the department addresses improved client
care and program changes. This change will increase the total allocations in the department by one (1)
and have no fiscal impact on the County General Fund.
Sheriff-Coroner: The Sheriff-Coroner is requesting to add two (2) flexibly staffed sunset positions of
Deputy Sheriff/Correctional Deputy with an end date of June 30, 2016. These positions will be funded
by a federal grant that was awarded to the Sheriff’s Office to further enhance the Alternative Custody
Supervision (ACS) program. The grant agreement document and accompanying resolution were signed
and adopted by the Board at the May 19, 2015 meeting. This change will increase the total allocations
in the department by two (2) positions and have no additional fiscal impact on the County General
Fund – action requested - ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Human

AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND AUDITOR-

3.50* Approval of Agreement with NRC Environmental for the Operation of the Butte Regional Household
Hazardous Waste Facility - Household hazardous waste (HHW) requires special handling in regulations
enforced by the Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC), the Department of Resources
Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) and the local enforcement agencies. AB 939 required all
jurisdictions in the state to approve a Household Hazardous Waste Element (plan) as part of their
countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan. The Butte Regional Household Hazardous Waste
Facility is a key component of the County’s Household Hazardous Waste Element for meeting
regulatory requirements and the needs of residents and small businesses within Butte County. For
thirteen years, the County has contracted with NRC Environmental Services/AC Industrial Services
(NRC) for the operation of the Butte Regional Household Hazardous Waste Facility. This facility is
located in the Chico Airport area, which is in close proximity to the majority of residents in the County.
The number of participants using the facility has grown over the years, as has the cost of operation of
the facility. The number of items determined to be hazardous has grown over the years as well and
contributes to the increase in volume collected and disposed through the HHW program. Approval is
requested for an agreement with NRC for the operation of the Butte Regional Household Hazardous
Waste Facility and disposal of county-generated HHW. The term of the agreement is July 16, 2015 to
July 15, 2018 with a maximum payable amount of $500,000 per year. The annual maximum payable
amount is the same as previous years due in part to new State law that requires paint manufacturers
to fund recycling and disposal of paint products (Extended Producer Responsibility), thereby relieving
local government of that expense. This agreement also proposes to expand access to the HHW
program for residents of the unincorporated areas of the County - action requested - APPROVE
AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND
PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTS. (Public Works)
3.51* Amendment to Contract with the St. Vincent De Paul Society for Mattress Recycling -Approval is
requested for an amendment to agreement with the St. Vincent De Paul Society for services of hauling

(NRRWF). The amendment extends the term of the agreement to December 31, 2015 and increases
the amount by $50,000 to a maximum payable amount of $125,000. Starting in 2016, the recycling of
waste mattresses will fall under the Used Mattress Recycling and Recovery Act (SB 254). SB 254 places
the responsibility for the cost associated with the recycling of used mattresses on the manufacturers
(Extended Producer Responsibility) relieving local government from such costs. Under this new
program, the NRRWF will still serve as the primary facility for the collection of mattresses generated
in the County, however the cost of transportation, recycling and handling will be covered by the non-
profit Mattress Recycling Council - action requested - APPROVE AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT AND
AUTHORIZE THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR TO SIGN SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND
PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTS. (Public Works)
3.52* Agreement with CSU, Chico Research Foundation for Inmate Services - As a result of a lawsuit filed

inmates 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 jail maintain a
law library that is staffed by Legal Research Assistants (LRAs), who are CSU, Chico students
participating in the University's paralegal program. This agreement established that the LRAs are
employees of the CSU, Chico Research Foundation and are covered by the Foundation's workers’
compensation coverage. The agreement provides that the LRAs are to be paid $9.00 per hour through
December 31, 2015 and $10.00 per hour January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016. The total amount
paid by the County shall not exceed $43,978 for the term of the agreement, July 1, 2015 through June
30, 2016 – action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Sheriff)

3.53* US Department of Justice - Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force - The Butte County Sheriff's
Office has been awarded funding from the US Dept. of Justice (DOJ), Organized Crime Drug
Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF). The funding is specifically used for overtime and is limited to cases
that have been designated by DOJ as OCDETF investigation cases. On March 24, 2015, the Board of
Supervisors approved to accept grant funding in the amount of $5,000 in the first criminal case (PA-
CAE-0392). On April 6, 2015, Amendment #1 was approved in the amount of $5,000. As funds are
being exhausted DOJ agreed to obligate an additional $6,000, authorizing Amendment #2, thereby
amending the maximum funding to $16,000. DOJ has identified a second criminal case and has
awarded a second Agreement in the amount of $5,000 to be utilized in this criminal case for overtime
(PA-CAE-0141) - action requested -APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 vote required). (Sheriff)
3.54* State of California -Thermalito Afterbay Boating Enforcement Program-The Butte County Sheriff's
Office is requesting Board of Supervisor's approval to continue negotiations with the State of
California, Department of Water Resources (DWR) for continued funding for the Thermalito Afterbay
Boating Enforcement Program. The year-round program funds two full-time uniformed deputy sheriffs
providing law enforcement services to recreationalists utilizing the Thermalito Afterbay. In addition
to law enforcement personnel, the funding provides support costs, off-setting building lease funds,
fuel, office supplies, equipment, and vessel maintenance. DWR requests a minute order from the
Board of Supervisor’s approving the Sheriff’s Office intent to enter into another agreement with the
State - action requested - AUTHORIZE THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE TO NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT WITH
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES.(Sheriff)
3.55* Court Collection Discharge of Accountability -The Treasurer-Tax Collector’s department requests
approval to discharge from the court collections portfolio cases that are ten years or older, past statute
and considered uncollectible. Uncollectible accounts can consist of, but are not limited to, deceased
debtors and accounts with fraudulent debtor information. Under the provisions of GC 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's department 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 has not
discharged court debt since the inception of the program in 2000, when Penal Code Section 1214(d)
was amended to allow collections on court-ordered debts past ten years. It has since been determined
that because Senate Bill 857 amending the Code was not retroactive, cases dated October 19, 2000 or
earlier are not eligible for collection. There are 7,999 accounts totaling $6,039,680.36 that are eligible
for discharge, the majority of which are past statute and may not receive any further collection activity
and others that have been determined to be uncollectible for various reasons. The discharge of
accountability will enable the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s department 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)

4.05* PERS Post Retirement Employment Exemption- The Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) 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 from which they receive a retirement allowance. An
exemption to this rule is permitted by Government Code Section 7522.56(f)(1) and 21224, if approved
by the governing body in a public meeting on the regular agenda. Currently prosecutions resulting
from the willful and criminal failure to meet child support obligations are conducted by a Child Support
Attorney IV in the department of Child Support Services. Over the decades the attorney performing
these duties has developed a level of legal expertise that is unique and critical to successful outcomes
in these important cases. The incumbent is scheduled to retire effective July 3, 2015, and although the
Department of Child Support Services is planning to hire a replacement Child Support Attorney, the
incumbent's specialized area of expertise is so particularized, it will take time to develop a comparable
knowledge base in any new or replacing attorney. During this time, criminal child support related cases
would not be addressed, and the mission of enforcing a parent's obligation to support their child would
be negatively impacted. The District Attorney is requesting an exemption to the 180-day sit out period
required by PEPRA and approval to hire Jack Schafer as an extra-help Deputy District Attorney IV for
the purpose of prosecuting child support related cases. The incumbent's unique subject matter
expertise is necessary to continue prosecutions until another attorney can develop the needed skills
and knowledge to assume those duties. The Director of Human Resources has reviewed the facts and
concurs that the request is consistent with the exemption permitted under Government Code Section
7522.56(f)(1) – action requested – 1) APPROVE PERS POST-RETIREMENT EXEMPTION PURSUANT TO
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 7522.56; AND 2) ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO

Efforts - In January 2015, the City of Chico issued a Request for Proposal for the Management,
Operation, Development and Maintenance of the Chico Municipal Airport. In February 2015, the
Chico City Council agreed to enter into a contract with AvPORTS. AvPORTS' proposal included two

5.03* 9:55 a.m. -Public Hearing -Adoption of Addendum to Supplemental Jail Facility Initial
Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration - Construction of a Supplemental Jail Facility is proposed in
response to the increase in inmates and parolees transferred from the State of California to Butte
County custody as a result of California Assembly Bill 109 (AB 109-the Public Safety Realignment Act
or the Realignment Act). The County is pursuing State funding to build a proposed Supplemental Jail
Facility, west of the existing jail, for which the County prepared and adopted an Initial Study/
Mitigated Negative declaration on July 29, 2014 (2014 IS/MND). An Addendum to the 2014 IS/MND,
included in staff report, evaluates an alternative site location for the Supplemental Jail Facility
immediately north of the existing jail facility. The Revised Supplemental Jail Facility Project,
approximately 63,000 sq. ft., includes demolition of an approximately 2,500 sq. ft. evidence building
north of the existing jail. This change to the project’s location within the County’s public safety
neighborhood, roughly 500 feet northeast of the Original Project location and demolition of an
