3.36 Authorization to Award the Supply and Distribution of Asphaltic Emulsion for the 2018 Chip Seal
Project-As one element of maintaining the County's roadways,the Department of Public Works
typically performs an annual chip seal project. Applied to roadways that are structurally sound
but with a worn surface, chip sealing acts as both a sealant and wear surface to preserve the
existing roadway. These roadways will also receive new striping and markings with the project.
The annual mileage of application varies between 15-40 miles depending on budget and
resources, with an expected 20 miles this year. Chip seals can typically last for five to 10 years
depending on roadway conditions.The Department received authorization at the June 12, 2018
Board of Supervisors Meeting to advertise the contract and specifications for the 2018 Supply
and Distribution of Asphaltic Emulsion as part of the annual chip seal project. The project was
advertised, and three bids were received and opened on July3, 2018, for the proposed contract.
The lowest responsive and responsible bidder was VSS International, Inc. dba VSS Emultech,
located in West Sacramento, with a bid amount of$439,600. The engineer's estimate for this
contract was $342,200. The Department attributes the higher than estimated bid amounts to
the busy construction markets both locally and statewide, which to some extent may be a result
of projects funded by SBI (Transportation Funding) dollars beginning construction.The contract
terminates on December 31, 2018,with a not-to-exceed amount of$439,600—action requested

3.37 Exchange of County Rule 20A Underground Utility Credits for use by the 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 requesting $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 cost increases, Colusa County needs additional credits to fully
fund their project. The Board previously approved transfers to jurisdictions within Butte County
without payment, but has never considered a monetary exchange for the Rule 20A credits. The
County's PG&E Rule 20A liaison informed staff there are no restrictions on how or when an
exchange may happen. Butte County has no identified future Rule 20A projects that would
require use of the 20A credits. On June 12, 2018,the Board of Supervisors directed staff to draft
the necessary documents between Butte and Colusa Counties to allow an exchange of$2 million
in Butte County Rule 20A Underground Utility Credits in return for $500,000 in one-time,
unrestricted funds. The Colusa County Board of Supervisors authorized the County's Chief
Administrative Officer to execute the agreement, which she did on June 28, 2018. Consistent
with County policy and prior Board direction,staff recommend these funds be held in the General
Fund and used to either 1) increase reserves during the next budget cycle or 2) as a tool to
address the County's unfunded pension liabilities. The County's General Fund Reserve Policy
requires that the Board of Supervisors consider increasing the County's General Fund reserves
when one-time, unanticipated, discretionary revenue exceeding $500,000 is received — action
requested-APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works/County

the fact that the retiree has the specialized skill set needed to perform this work of limited

4.05 Contract with Dominion Voting Systems, Inc., and Resolution Authorizing Interfund Loan - Butte
County's current voting system is 14-years old and needs to be replaced to provide for expanded
access to balloting. Due to the increasing unreliability of the County's aging voting equipment,
and the changes in technology and voting laws, it is recommended that the County enter into a
contract with Dominion Voting Systems, Inc. for the purchase a State-certified voting system.
The term of the contract is July 2018 through July 2025, at a cost not-to-exceed $893,000 to be
paid as follows: $451,297 in Fiscal Year 2018-19, and the balance to be broken down into equal
annual amounts for the following seven Years.The Fiscal Year 2018-19 payment of$451,297 will
be funded with a combination of $181,297 included in the Clerk-Recorder's budget, plus a
$270,000 interfund loan from the Recording Systems Fund. The loan will be paid back with
interest, and is more affordable than financing the equipment with an outside entity. The Debt
Advisory Committee reviewed the interfund loan and recommends its approval. The Clerk-
Recorder anticipates receiving 50% reimbursement from the State for the contract amount, and
will use the funds to repay the loan to the Recording Systems Fund — action requested — 1)

Determination of Consistency with the Land Conservation Act - Little Dry Creek Farms, LLC
applied for a Request for Determination and a Land Conservation (Williamson) Act Consistency
Review regarding proposed construction of a residential structure on Assessor's Parcel Number
(APN) 022-030-017. The parcel, together with APNs 022-030-015 and 022-030-018, comprise a
total of approximately 602 acres used as natural habitat/duck club and are enrolled in the
California Land Conservation (Williamson) Act. The subject property is located in the AG-80
(Agriculture—80-acre minimum) zone at the southeast corner of Afton and Aguas Frias Roads,
7.4 miles west of the City of Biggs.The Butte County Zoning Administrator issued a determination
interpreting applicable sections of Butte County Code regarding the proposed construction of a
residential structure and determining that a home or other permanent improvements are not
permitted. The Butte County Williamson Act Advisory Committee considered the proposed
residence's consistency with the Williamson Act and recommended to the Board of Supervisors
that no residence is allowed on the subject property under the Butte County Williamson Act
program. The Planning Commission considered an appeal of the Zoning Administrator's
determination and determined that hunting activities conducted on the property constitute a
"hunting and fishing club" as defined by Butte County Code section 24-304; that the proposed
residential structure and its proposed use would not meet the Zoning Ordinance's definition of
a single family home; and that the structure would constitute a new permanent improvement to
the hunting and fishing club that is not allowed under the Zoning Ordinance. On May 4, 2018,
James Stevens of NorthStar filed an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to the Board
of Supervisors at the request of Little Dry Creek Farms, LLC — action requested - ADOPT

5.04 9:50 a.m. - Resolutions Supporting Proposed Basin Boundary Modifications -On June 12, 2018,
the Board of Supervisors authorized the Department of Water and Resource Conservation to
submit applications for three proposed Basin Boundary Modifications (BBM): 1) Expand Vina
further south; 2) Expand Wyandotte Creek subbasin to the west; and 3) Clean up along the
Sacramento River of the Vina and West Butte subbasins. Since that time, the Feather River
Districts (Western Canal Water District, Richvale Irrigation District, Biggs West Gridley, Butte
Water District) proposed a new modification that would combine large portions of the West
Butte and East Butte subbasins to create a new "Butte subbasin" while also incorporating the
northern groundwater dependent areas of these subbasins into the Vina subbasin. This change
reduces the number of subbasins in Butte County from four to three providing greater efficiency
and reduced costs for Butte County and other GSAs, both for long term governance of
groundwater in these subbasins and for development and implementation of Groundwater
Sustainability Plans. The Department proposes the Board of Supervisors adopt two resolutions.
The first resolution authorizes the Department to submit a BBM application for the Wyandotte
Creek subbasin,as originally proposed in June.The second resolution authorizes the Department
to submit a BBM application to include the creation of the new "Butte subbasin",the expansion
of the Vina subbasin, and the Sacramento River clean up that affects the existing Vina and West
Butte subbasins. The original deadline to submit BBM applications was June 30, 2018, but has
been extended by the Department of Water Resources to July 31, 2018 — action requested -

County region.The study included the unincorporated area of the County,the cities of Chico and

development tools and positive economic impacts to the jurisdictions, and provide options to
customers who wish to use more renewable energy — action requested — 1) ACCEPT FOR
