3.18 Resolution Authorizing the Submittal of an Application for Funding Under the CalHome Program
for Disaster Assistance - In October 2017 and November 2018, Butte County experienced
wildfires that destroyed the homes of a significant number of residents in the unincorporated
area of Butte County. The State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has
issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) as Round 2 for disaster assistance under its
CalHome Program. Funding for Round 1 was already issued and Butte County was awarded
$500,000 for Owner -Occupied Housing Rehabilitation (OOR). For Round 2, Eligible activities
include: first-time home buyer mortgage assistance, owner -occupied rehabilitation assistance,
technical assistance for self-help housing projects, technical assistance for shared housing
programs, and homeownership project development loans. After coordination with other
eligible jurisdictions and non -profits, County staff recommends the County applyfor OOR funding
in the amount of $10,080,000. OOR has been selected due to the fact that there is a
demonstrated need in the unincorporated area of the County and it is the activity with which the
County has the experience to meet eligibility factors. The CalHome grant does not provide any
funding for General Administration. The grant also does not provide adequate funding for
Activity Delivery, which is the funding the County typically uses to pay the Program Operator.
The County will need to identify additional sources of funding for General Administration and
Activity Delivery costs so that there is no impact to the General Fund — action requested - ADOPT

3.21 Agreement with Comcast Business Communications, LLC (Comcast) for Institutional Network 0 -
NET) Dark Fiber Facilities -The County had an I -NET agreement with Comcast as part of the local
franchise granted to construct and maintain a cable system in the County in 2004. The I -NET
consists of multiple dark fiber pathways connecting facilities throughout the County. This dark
fiber network forms the backbone of the data and communications network for County
government and the 911 system. The I -NET agreement granted the County the right of continued
use of the I -NET during the term of the franchise and any extensions or renewals. This I -NET
agreement lapsed at the expiration of the local cable franchise agreement due to the passage of
the Digital Infrastructure and Video Competition Act in 2006, which eliminated local franchises
in favor of a state franchise for cable systems. Negotiations for a new agreement occurred
periodically until 2012, however no agreement was reached. In 2017, Comcast sent a letter
stating that the company would initiate a complaint against the County unless a new agreement
was negotiated for the I -NET. Negotiations continued for more than a year to address items such
as exclusive use of the fiber, term of the agreement, bringing fiber to a new County facility in
Chico, and pricing. County Administration recommends approval of an agreement with Comcast
for the lease of dark fiber utilities connecting County facilities. The term of the agreement is July
1, 2019 through June 30, 2029, not -to -exceed $983,373. Annual charges are $29,272 year one,

3.24 Land Conservation (Williamson) Act Compatibility Determination for Agricultural Worker
Housing - Carolyn Geiger applied for a building permit, administrative permit, and Williamson
Act consistency review to construct agricultural worker housing on APN 040-080-075. The parcel
is part of a subdivision consisting of six parcels, varying from five to seven acres each, which was
enrolled in the Williamson Act in 1995 in its current configuration. This configuration no longer
complies with Williamson Act program requirements. The Williamson Act Advisory Committee
(Committee) reviewed the application on June 3, 2019 and recommended to the Board of
Supervisors that issuance of a building permit and an administrative permit for agricultural
worker housing are consistent with the Williamson Act, conditioned upon the owner's
recordation of a deed restriction limiting the use of the structure to agricultural worker housing.
Due to inconsistencies between the building permit application, the property configuration, and
current Williamson Act requirements, the Committee further recommended that the owner be
required to nonrenew the entire contracted area from the Williamson Act, and to record a deed
restriction prohibiting the separate sale of any of the contract parcels until the property exits the
Williamson Act — action requested - DETERMINE THAT THE BUILDING PERMIT AND
ADMINISTRATIVE PERMIT FOR AGRICULTURAL WORKER HOUSING ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE
WILLIAMSON ACT PROGRAM WITH THE RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS. (Development Services)

contracts with Onsolve, LLC for use of their Emergency Mass Notification System called Code
Red. The Camp Fire highlighted a need to include more information with the Code Red alert,
which has a limited number of message characters. Onsolve offers a feature called Bulletin Board

3.41 Contract Amendment with California Forensics Medical Group (CFMG) for Jail -Based
Competency Treatment (JBCT) Program -On August 14, 2018, the Board of Supervisors passed a
resolution that authorized the Butte County Jail to be a Designated Treatment Facility for inmates
deemed by the court to be mentally incompetent to stand trial. This designation allows the Butte
County Jail to provide medically -approved medication to inmates found to be mentally
incompetent and unable to provide informed consent due to a mental disorder. The Sheriff's
Office signed a contract with the Department of State Hospitals (DSH) that prescribes the JBCT
Program and defines terms and funding. DSH has agreed to pay the Sheriff's Office $2,100 per
day for five inmate beds to care for and treat the inmates approved for the program. The Sheriff's
Office is currently under contract with CFMG for the provision of inmate medical services. CFMG
has the willingness and capability to provide the medical treatment required by DSH for the JBCT
Program. CFMG will run the restoration of competency treatment services for inmates housed
in the Jail who are eligible for the JBCT Program and will be compensated $1,280 per day to
include all expenses related to the JBCT Program. The Department recommends amending the
contract with CFMG for the provision of JBCT. The amendment increases the maximum payable

the Jail. Trinity provides a minimum of 2.3 full-time equivalent employees to work alongside
existing staff, and as County staff currently working in the kitchen leave County employment,
Trinity will increase their staff. The goal, through attrition, is to retain one County employee as
the kitchen supervisor and outsource the kitchen cook staff to Trinity. This will provide better
continuity in positions that have historically been difficult to fill and provide an estimated annual
cost savings to Butte County of $135,000. All appropriate bargaining groups have been consulted
and concur with the plan. The Department recommends entering into a contract with Trinity for
inmate meal preparation. The term of the contract is June 25, 2019 through June 24, 2022, not -
to -exceed $3,250,000 — action requested - APPROVE CONTRACT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO

3.44 Court Collection Discharge of Accountability - The Treasurer -Tax Collector's Office requests
approval to 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 Department 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 of California and allows the 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; it solely removes the responsibility of the County to collect and
report on the discharged cases. The Department performed the first Discharge of Accountability
in 2015 and desires to discharge eligible debt on a regular basis. There are 1,428 accounts
totaling $1,713,593 that are currently eligible for discharge. This Discharge of Accountability will
enable the Department to more accurately report the percentage of collected debt against the
total debt subject to collection — action requested - APPROVE REQUEST FOR DISCHARGE OF
ACCOUNTABILITY. (Treasurer -Tax Collector)
3.45 Annual Statement of Investment Policy FY 2019-20 - The Treasurer -Tax Collector requests
approval of the Annual Statement of Investment Policy for FY 2019-20. The Investment Policy,
in accordance with Government Code sections 53600-53686, guides investment of surplus funds
and funds under the custodianship of the Treasurer. The County Treasurer holds and invests the
County's, School Districts', and Special Districts' funds. The Butte County Investment Pool
Oversight Committee (Committee) is comprised of Debra Lucero, District 2 Supervisor, Butte
County Board of Supervisors Representative (Chair); Lisa Anderson, Butte County Office of
Education Senior Director of Fiscal Services, Superintendent of Schools Representative (Vice
Chair); Graciela Gutierrez, Butte County Auditor -Controller; Heather Childs, Finance Manager,
Chico Area Recreation and Park District, Special Districts Representative; and Susan Watts,
Oroville Unified High School District Assistant Superintendent of Business, School Districts
Representative. The Committee provides oversight to the Treasury and each year considers the
Annual Statement of Investment Policy prior to its submission to the Board of Supervisors. The
proposed Investment Policy, by recommendation of the Committee, ends a historical practice of
providing premium interest for funds having large, stable balances and little or no activity and
instead proposes pro -rata interest based on account balances for all pool participants in the
County Treasury for a more streamlined and equitable apportionment process. Other minor
changes are also recommended to the policy and detailed in the staff report. Approval of the
Annual Statement of Investment Policy also constitutes renewal of the investment authority
delegated to the Treasurer by the Board. The Annual Statement of Investment Policy was
reviewed and accepted on June 11, 2019 by the Committee. With Board approval, the policy for
FY 2019-20 would become effective July 1, 2019 — action requested - APPROVE ANNUAL
STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY FOR FY 2019-20. (Treasurer -Tax Collector)

3.46 Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 33A of the Butte 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. The Water Commission considered
the recommended changes on September 5, 2018 and unanimously accepted the report,
supported the subcommittee's recommendations, and recommended that the Board of
Supervisors adopt these amendments to Chapter 33A and associated WAC bylaws. The
Department introduced amendments Chapter 33A on June 11, 2019, and the Board waived the
first reading of the ordinance. The ordinance will become effective 30 days after adoption —

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). The
Board of Supervisors considered priority projects for the program on June 11, 2019 and directed
staff to proceed with application for nine projects. The Skyway road project has since been
determined ineligible. The project to increase the size of culverts on lower Honey Run Road will
be addressed when roadway improvements are made in the future. Staff does not recommend
submission of an application for those two projects. The remaining seven priority projects
submitted by the County were determined to represent eligible HMGP activities and Butte
County has been invited to submit full applications for funding. Each grant requires a 25% local
match. Staff recommends the Board approve funding match commitment letters for each of the

3.49 Cash Advance for Butte County Employment and Social Services - The Department of
Employment and Social Services receives many different sources of funding. The Department
receives some funding through a monthly advance from the State and others on a
reimbursement basis. At the end of June 2019, the Department will experience a cash flow
shortage. The shortage is primarily due to a delay in the timing of State payments and the use of
the Department's fund balance for the new Chico facility. In recent years, the Department used
the fund balance to cover any delay in State payments. However, with the completion of the
project, the fund balance has been depleted. A cash shortage has occurred in the past in both
the Department of Employment and Social Services and the Department of Behavioral Health.
The Department is projecting the cash shortage to be $2,500,000 at June 30, 2019, though this
will vary based on actual transactions. The Department, County Administration, and the Auditor -
Controller recommend approval of a cash advance from the Public Health Fund to the Social
Services Fund to eliminate the cash deficit as of June 30, 2019. The advance will be transferred
back to the Public Health Fund on July 1, 2019 — action requested - AUTHORIZE AN ADVANCE
FROM PUBLIC HEALTH FUND TO SOCIAL SERVICES FUND TO COVER THE CASH SHORTAGE ON
JUNE 30, 2019. (Employment and Social Services)

Those findings were presented to the Board on November 6, 2018, where staff was directed to
continue research on financing options, update the feasibility report with relevant changes,
begin to work with the City of Chico on a joint powers authority agreement, and evaluate the
expansion of participants. Staff will provide an update on these variables.

BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA—JUNE 25, 2019
5.04 10:50 am — Direction for Amendments to Chapter 53 (Development Services)
A. Request for Direction Regarding Amendment of Chapter 53, Camp Fire Recovery Ordinance,
to Allow the Placement of Recreational Vehicles and Temporary Dwellings Within Required
Setbacks in Order to Allow for Reconstruction - Chapter 53, the Camp Fire Recovery
Ordinance, allows the residential use of recreational vehicles and temporary dwellings
outside the boundaries of setbacks required by the Zoning Ordinance, recorded easements,
roads, and driveways. The Department of Development Services has been approached by a
number of property owners in the Camp Fire area seeking to obtain an administrative
permit to locate a recreational vehicle within required setback areas in order not to
interfere with the reconstruction of their residences. The size and configuration of these
properties are such that the homesite and septic area leaves no location to place the
recreational vehicle outside of required setback areas, except within the footprint of the
residence to be reconstructed. The Department recommends the Board of Supervisors
provide direction to amend Chapter 53, Article IV, Emergency Interim Housing Inside the
Camp Fire Area, to permit the Zoning Administrator to allow the placement of recreational
vehicles and temporary dwellings within the boundary of a required setback, other than
riparian setbacks, in order to allow for reconstruction of the site when there is no other
location available outside of the setback area — action requested - PROVIDE DIRECTION TO
STAFF.
B. Request for Board Direction Regarding Extension of the Chapter 53 Camp Fire Recovery
Ordinance Transitory Period for the Temporary Use of Recreational Vehicles - The
Department of Development Services requests Board of Supervisors direction regarding
extending the transitory period expiring on July 29, 2019 for the use of recreational vehicles
in Article III, Emergency Interim Housing Outside the Camp Fire Area, and Article IV,
Emergency Interim Housing Inside the Camp Fire Area, of Chapter 53, the Camp Fire
Recovery Ordinance. Under the ordinance, the transitory period is the period of time during
which recreational vehicles occupied by residents whose residential building has been
destroyed or damaged by the Camp Fire do not need to meet the water, sewage disposal,
and electricity hook-up standards of the ordinance. Adoption of the initial Camp Fire
Disaster Recovery Temporary Housing Ordinance (Ordinance No. 4150) on December 11,
2018 originally established a 180 -day period (June 9, 2019) for the use of recreational
vehicles without connection to water, sewage disposal, and electricity. This was extended
to July 29, 2019 with the adoption of Chapter 53 on January 29, 2019. As of June 14, 2019,
only 390 parcels in the unincorporated area of the County have been certified clear of fire
debris, which is just over 10% of parcels with homes burned by the Camp Fire. The
Department recommends the transitory period that recreational vehicles do not need to
meet water, sewage disposal, and electricity hook-up standards be extended to December
31, 2019 — action requested - PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF.

expenditure budget in the amount of $19,320 has been prepared for FY 2019-20 covering the
operation and maintenance of the Cemetery. Routine expenses typically total $1,000-$2,000 per

can be addressed if necessary. The Thompson Flat Cemetery District receives an anticipated
$3,835 in revenue through property taxes. The total recommended budget is $19,320 with the
difference between revenues and expenditures covered with anticipated fund balance. Approval
of the Recommended Budget also provides the authority for continuing District 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 Trustees to make
adjustments to the budget. The Recommended Budget is prepared by the General Services
