parents. The Butte County Department of Child Support Services (BCDCSS) works together with
parents so that child support is provided for children. Many parents pay their monthly child support
obligation regularly and should be commended for their support. The Butte County Department of
Child Support Services is strongly committed to seeking ways to increase the efficiency and
effectiveness of its child support program by implementing innovative programs and systems. Child
Support Awareness Month provides an opportunity to increase awareness of the Child Support

3.09* Budget Adjustment - The Butte County Elections Division solicited for a new forklift (capital asset)
during FY 2014-15. After the competitive solicitation, a contract was awarded to Toyota Material
Handling of Northern California with a stipulation that delivery was required prior to June 30, 2015.
Due to the dockworkers strike in Long Beach, California, the parts for the new forklift were not
available for delivery to the vendor in time to meet the June 30, 2015 deadline, and delivery has
been renegotiated with an anticipated delivery of mid-August. In addition, chairs ordered from Office
Depot had an anticipated delivery date prior to June 30, and on June 22, 2015, Office Depot
informed the County the chairs will not be delivered until mid-July. The funds for both purchases
were projected to be spent in FY 2014-15 and not included in calculations for available fund balance.
Since the items were not received prior to June 30th, the funding was not expended in FY 2014-15
and rolled into available fund balance, and ultimately General Fund Appropriation for Contingencies,
at year end. The County is obligated to pay for the items upon receipt, which requires additional
appropriation of $50,775 in FY 2015-16 – action requested – 1) APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT
FROM APPROPRIATION FOR CONTINGENCIES. (4/5 vote required); AND 2) APPROVE CAPITAL ASSET
PURCHASE. (Clerk Recorder)

County Elections Office has been using this software since 2006. The extension of this contract would
allow for the continuation of technical support and software upgrades regarding S.O.E.'s proprietary
software currently being utilized for precinct officer training. In order for services to continue
without interruption, the County Clerk-Recorder/Registrar of Voters requests the approval of an
amendment to the contract with S.O.E. Software, Inc. that revises the completion date to June 30,
2020 and increases the not-to-exceed price by $32,445 for a total revised contract price of $51,852

surplus, it will be returned to Action Repro Inc., as a trade-in resulting in a discount of $1,000 on the
purchase of a new map/scanner – action requested – 1) DECLARE CAPITAL ASSET ITEMS SURPLUS TO

provide these services at the Court. The County contracts with Legal Services of Northern California
to operate the program in conjunction with the Court. Approval is requested to amend the current
agreement with Legal Services of Northern California. The proposed amendment would extend the
original three-year term to include services for FY’s 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18. Under the
proposed amendment, the annual price would remain at $50,000 per FY and the maximum financial

3.19* Resolution and Agreements for the Paradise Library / Lodge Parking Lot Transition Project - The
Butte County Library in Paradise lacks sufficient parking, typically during the day hours. In addition,
the adjacent Table Mountain Mason Lodge also lacks sufficient parking, but typically in the evening
hours. The Lodge has offered to allow Library patrons to park in the Lodge parking lot and will allow
construction of a drive between the Library and the Lodge. Staff recommends that with the
construction of a drive, the Lodge patrons could utilize the Library parking when the Library is not
active. To make the Paradise Library / Lodge Parking Lot Transaction Project a reality, the Paradise
Friends of the Library have offered to reimburse the County up to $40,000 to construct a drive
between the two properties. To facilitate the project, staff requests that the Board adopt a
resolution recognizing the contribution of the Paradise Friends of the Library and execute both the
Memorandum of Understanding with the Friends of the Library and the site license agreement with
the Lodge. This project is included in the FY 2015-16 budget and no additional appropriation is
required to complete this project – action requested – 1) ADOPT THE RESOLUTION; 2) APPROVE THE
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND 3) EXECUTE THE

3.20* Budget Adjustment - County Service Area 34 - Gridley Swimming Pool - The County Service Area 34
(CSA 34) was established between 4,431 parcels in the greater Gridley area in 1968 for the purpose
of funding the operation, maintenance and repair of a swimming pool constructed on the Butte
County Fairgrounds. Several years ago, the concrete pool structure began to fail and a fiberglass liner
was installed to enable the community to continue using the pool. Subsequently, the fiberglass liner
began to fail and in 2011, after a limited response to a request for proposals issued by the County,
the liner was patched. Now, the liner patches are failing and at some point the pool will need to be
closed, repaired or replaced. General Services has completed a request for proposals from firms
qualified to analyze the pool condition and determine the feasibility of repairing the existing pool. Of
the proposals, The KPA Group was determined to be most qualified and proposed a price of $24,000
to provide the services outlined in the request for proposals. Staff is requesting that the Board
approve a $30,000 budget adjustment from the available fund balance of approximately $252,143.
This will allow General Services to negotiate and execute a contract consistent with the authority
established in the current purchasing policy and will also provide funding for staff time and supplies
needed to work with the community to evaluate the findings of the final report – action requested -
APPROVE THE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 vote required). (General Services)

3.21* Contract Amendment with Holdredge and Kull -Subsequent to solicitation, the Board executed an
agreement with Holdrege and Kull Consulting Engineers (H&K) on July 30, 2014, for construction
quality assurance testing and special inspection services for the Butte County Hall of Records. So that
H&K could be involved early on in the project, the not-to-exceed price of $71,033 on the original
contract was based on construction drawings that were not final. Once final construction drawings
were completed, the contract was amended to increase the not-to-exceed price by $1,687 to provide
for inspections that became necessary. Now, during construction, unforeseen soil conditions and
other minor plan changes of approximately 3% necessitate further inspection services from H&K.
Staff recommends amending the contract to extend the planned termination date to September 30,
2015, and to increase the not-to-exceed price by $9,234.25, bringing the total not-to-exceed price to
$81,954.25. Funding is included in the budget for this project and no additional appropriation is
necessary – action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO
SIGN SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND THE AUDITOR-CONTROLLER. (General Services)
3.22* Adoption of Ordinance Amending Butte County Code Chapter 51, Contracts / Procurement Sunset
Pilot Project - On June 23, 2015, an amendment to Chapter 51 of the Butte County Code was
proposed extending the sunset date of the Contracts / Procurement Sunset Pilot Project Ordinance
to August 31, 2016. The extension provides for the completion of the training program and to
provide additional time to finalize the draft policies and procedures for Board consideration. The
Board waived the first reading of the proposed amendment and staff recommends that the Board
ADOPT ORDINANCE AND
now adopt the amendment to the Ordinance – action requested -
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (General Services)
3.23* Authorization to Acquire Real Property on Behalf of Behavioral Health for a Crisis Residential
Treatment Center - On February 24, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved and authorized the
General Services Director to negotiate the acquisition of the portion of APN 006-240-047 that
contains 556 Cohasset Road, in Chico, so that Behavioral Health can open a Crisis Residential Center.
Negotiations with Enloe Medical Center have been successful and have concluded with a final sales
price of $403,000. All necessary due diligence has been successfully completed and staff
recommends that the Board adopt a Resolution authorizing the Director of General Services, to
execute all documents necessary to complete the acquisition. Funding for the acquisition has been
provided through a California Health Facilities Financing Authority (CHFFA) grant and is contained in
the Behavioral Health Department's FY 2015-16 budget – action requested – 1) APPROVE THE
PURCHASE PRICE OF $403,000; 2) AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF GENERAL SERVICES TO ACCEPT THE
PROPERTY AND SIGN ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION INCLUDING THE CERTIFICATE OF
ACCEPTANCE NECESSARY TO CLOSE ESCROW; AND 3) ADOPT THE RESOLUTION FOR THE

3.24* Contract Amendment with Hunters Services, Inc. - In a leveraged procurement effort, General
Services solicited proposals from firms qualified to provide a countywide pest control program and
on August 12, 2014, the Board executed a contract with Hunters Services, Inc. The $43,956 contract,
with a planned termination date of August 11, 2017, included the provision to modify services and to
utilize on-call services provided by the vendor. The increased efficiencies and effectiveness of the
centralized program has been very successful and the contract was amended to increase the not-to-
exceed price to $48,351 to cover newly added buildings. With the continued success of the program,
staff wishes to add additional buildings and the not-to-exceed price is insufficient to meet the needs
of the County for the balance of the term. General Services recommends approval of an additional
amendment increasing the not-to exceed-price by $9,525 to a new not-to-exceed price of $57,876 to
cover the addition of two buildings and additional on-call services that are anticipated. Funding is
contained within the FY 2015-16 budget and no additional appropriation is necessary – action
requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT TO
REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND THE AUDITOR-CONTROLLER. (General Services)

3.25* Resolution to Amend The Salary Ordinance- The Department of Human Resources has prepared a
resolution to amend the Salary Ordinance for the following departments:
Child Support Services: The Child Support Services Department is requesting to delete one (1) vacant
position of Supervisor, Child Support Attorney. This deletion is the final step in the two step process
that included the addition of a Chief Attorney, Child Support Services position that was approved in
May. In addition the department requests to convert a current sunset position of Child Support
Attorney III/II/I to a regular help, full time position with no sunset date. These changes will decrease
the total allocations by one (1) position and have no fiscal impact on the County General Fund –
action requested - ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AMENDING THE SALARY ORDINANCE AND AUTHORIZE
THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Human Resources)
3.26* Budget Adjustment - SIP Switches-The Information Systems (IS) Department needs to replace two
(2) SIP switches. The replacement SIP switches provide functionality required by the Unified
Communication (UC) system to replace our aging phone system. Additionally, they provide
redundant connections to our UC infrastructure, granting fault tolerance that is absent from our
current phone system. The original switches were considered capital assets at the time of purchase
due to their costs, and were capitalized with depreciation put in the IS Equipment Replacement Fund
to pay for future replacement. The new switches do not meet the capital asset threshold, requiring
the funds to be transferred from the Equipment Replacement Fund to the IS Department's budget to
make the purchase. The Department requests a transfer of $35,000 to cover the costs of the
replacement switches – action requested - APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 vote required).
(Information Systems)
3.27* Superior Janitorial Services - Contract Amendment - The Probation Department currently uses

Prevention, surveillance and outbreak control activities help reduce illness, disability and death due
to preventable diseases such as polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, and many others.
CDPH has decided to supersede the current grant agreement with a new grant that allows the
department more flexibility related to budget revisions. The term of the new agreement is July 1,
2015 through June 30, 2017 with a maximum amount receivable of $132,864 ($66,432 for FY 2015-

2015. The department wishes to recognize Eric and his years of service – action requested - ADOPT
RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)
3.31* Budget Adjustment - Disbursement of Road Improvement Contribution Fees-Prior to forming the
County Wide Traffic Impact Mitigation Fee program, the Public Works Department collected fees
from various development projects throughout the County for specific road improvements to
mitigate the developments' traffic impacts, and held those fees in the Road Improvement
Contributions account. Some of the fees have been held in the account since the late 1970’s and
early 1980’s. Upon review by the Department, it became clear that many of the projects have been
completed by the County or other agencies, while other projects have not been completed, but the

Contract Change Order No. 2 provides additional compensation to Franklin Construction, Inc. for
dewatering Wyman Ravine during the construction of the reinforced concrete box culvert. The plans
and specifications expected Wyman Ravine to be dry during the box culvert construction, however

were required to complete the box culvert construction. The estimated cost for the de-watering
work is $10,000 and actual costs will be tracked and paid per the Caltrans Standard Specifications –
action requested - APPROVE CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

3.34* Request by the City of Chico for Consent to an Extra-Territorial Property Acquisition for a Storm Drain
Bypass line - The City of Chico recently approached the County concerning the need for the City to
execute an extra-territorial property acquisition outside the City boundary. The acquisition is needed
for the City to acquire right-of-way and public utility easements for the future extension of Notre
Dame Boulevard in South Chico to Highway 99 at South Gate Avenue. The acquisition is part of the
planned development of a new California Highway Patrol (CHP) Office being constructed in the City
on the property. Specific details of the project and the necessary easements are included in the
request from the City’s Acting Public Works Director-Engineering. State law (Government Code
Section 37351) provides for such extra-territorial acquisitions by cities, as is necessary or proper for
their municipal services. In this case, because the City/County boundary splits the property being
developed for the CHP Office and the existing streets to be extended are located in the City, it
necessitated this request. The extension of Notre Dame Boulevard will be constructed, owned and
maintained by the City and there will not be any County involvement except to grant the request for
the extra-territorial acquisition – action requested - APPROVE THE CITY OF CHICO’S ACQUISITION OF
EXTRA-TERRITORIAL PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN BUTTE COUNTY’S JURISDICTION TO ALLOW THE
ACQUISITION OF STREET RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT FOR THE FUTURE
EXTENSION OF NOTRE DAME BOULEVARD IN THE CITY OF CHICO AND DIRECT THE PUBLIC WORKS

3.39* Approval of Contract with Kearns and West to Complete the Assessment of Potential Groundwater
Sustainability Agencies - In 2014, the State passed the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act
(SGMA), which requires local agencies to develop a plan to manage their groundwater basins on a
sustainable basis, as documented in a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP). Entities that have
jurisdiction over water and/or land-use are eligible to become what is termed a Groundwater
Sustainability Agency (GSA) and will help to prepare the GSP. The County will play a significant role in
the development of the GSP, but there are other entities located within the county that also have
jurisdictional authority over water resources. This project would conduct a series of interviews with
the GSA eligible agencies within the county and other appropriate stakeholders including, but not
limited to, groundwater dependent water users, municipalities, and non-profit organizations to
develop a report which includes all voices on this issue. This report will be used to launch further
discussions regarding the designation of a GSA within the county, as well as the development of the
GSP. The Department worked with General Services to issue an RFQ for this project, and a panel
consisting of the Director, Assistant Director and the Chair of the Butte County Water Commission
selected the Kearns and West proposal out of those submitted and meeting the criteria – action
requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY
COUNTY COUNSEL AND AUDITOR-CONTROLLER. (Water and Resource Conservation)

3.40* Drought Task Force Report- In 2004, Butte County adopted the Drought Preparedness and
Mitigation Plan (Resolution 04-200). A key element of the Plan was the creation of the Drought Task
Force (DTF). The charge of the Drought Task Force is to monitor hydrologic conditions throughout
the water year and report the findings to the Water Commission and the Board of Supervisors
biannually, quarterly, or monthly as needed. On January 17, 2014, Governor Brown declared a
statewide drought emergency and issued an executive order. On January 31, 2014 Butte County
activated the Drought Emergency Operation Center. The Drought Action Plan is currently in a Level 1
response and has a two week operational period. The DTF met on June 17, 2015 to discuss fall
groundwater level measurements, hydrologic conditions, drought impacts and state drought
restrictions. The report of DTF June 17, 2015 meeting was presented to the Butte County Water
Commission on July 1, 2015. The DTF and Water Commission do not have any recommendations for

4.04* Resolution of Intention and Adoption of Ordinance to Amend CalPERS Contract -Currently the Butte
County In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority (Authority) and the County have separate
contracts with CalPERS for the provision of pension benefits to retirees. Employees of the Authority
are not considered County employees. Authority employees currently receive similar pay and
benefits to County employees, but the terms and conditions of employment are governed by
separate internal documents and procedures. Administering these different terms and conditions of
employment for Authority employees has not proven to be efficient. To increase efficiency and
flexibility, merging Authority employees into the County workforce is recommended. To do so, the
separate CalPERS contracts of the Authority and County must be merged. An actuarial valuation was
requested and provided by CalPERS detailing the cost of the proposed merger. In order to proceed
with merging the contracts, the Board of Supervisors must first adopt the Resolution of Intention to
Approve an Amendment to Contract Between the Board of Administration, California Public
Employees' Retirement System and the County of Butte. Additionally, the Board must adopt an
ordinance authorizing an amendment to that same contract – action requested – 1) ADOPT
RESOLUTION OF INTENTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND 2) WAIVE FIRST READING OF
ORDINANCE. (Human Resources)
4.05* Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Butte County Code - Chapter 15, Article V - Butte County
Code Chapter 15, Article V - Regulation of Smoking in Workplaces and Enclosed Public Places was last
updated in 1992 before the development and use of electronic smoking devices (also known as e-
Cigarettes). Electronic smoking devices, while not producing the same smoke as conventional
tobacco product cigarettes, produce a cloud of vapors containing dangerous substances to which
users and bystanders are exposed. The Public Health Department recommends amending Butte
County Code Chapter 15, Article V to incorporate the regulation of electronic smoking devices into
the current regulations for tobacco products in the workplace and in enclosed public places – action
requested -WAIVE THE FIRST READINGOF THE ORDINANCE. (Public Health)
4.06* Award of Contract -Durham Pentz Safety Project, County Project No. 43341-2012-1 - In 2012, the
County was awarded a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) 2012 Highway Safety
Improvement/High Risk Rural Roads Cycle (HSIP/HR3) Program Grant in the amount of $620,800, for
the construction of safety improvements on a 4.5 mile section of Durham Pentz Road between SR 99
and Clark Road. This project is located to the east of SR 99 along Durham Pentz Road, adjacent to
Butte College, and will include micro paving the road surface, the application of profiled
thermoplastic stripes with enhanced reflectivity, traffic striping and various pavement markings.
Due to Butte College traffic concerns during the daytime hours, this project will be performed at
night. The engineer's estimate is approximately $620,000 for construction. The estimated total
project cost is $695,000, which includes preliminary Engineering, Right-of-way, and construction.
The project cost will be funded through the grant, with local match coming from the Road Fund. The
project was advertised beginning July 2, 2015 and bids will be opened on July 23, 2015. Public Works
staff will review the bids and determine the recommended lowest responsible and responsive bidder
and provide a staff memo with the results to the Board at the July 28, 2015 Board of Supervisors
meeting with a recommendation for award of a contact – action requested - 1) AWARD THE
CONTRACT TO THE LOWEST RESPONSIBLE AND RESPONSIVE BIDDER AS RECOMMENDED AND
PRESENTED TO THE BOARD; AND 2) AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO EXECUTE THE
CONTRACT SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND AUDITOR-CONTROLLER.(Public Works)

5.Public Hearings and Timed Items
5.01* 9:30 a.m. - Public Hearing - Application for Outdoor Festival License – Kelly Munson – Weaving
Women’s Wisdom Gathering - Kelly Munson (on behalf of the Chico Women's Club) 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 to be three days (Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, September 25 - 27, 2015), with events from 12:00 p.m. on Friday to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, and
have approximately 200 participants per day. On-site camping and parking is proposed. The festival
site will be on four parcels (APN 058-350-001, -002, and -003), totaling approximately 60 acres. The
parcels are located on the west side of Concow Road, directly across from Ishi Trail, at the Lake
Concow Campground (12967 Concow Road, Concow). The Development Services Department has
completed an environmental review of the application, completed a site visit and determined that
since no permanent structures will be built and only normal seasonal clearing of grass areas will occur,
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. Recommended
festival requirements (conditions) are provided in the staff report – action requested – 1) FIND THE
FESTIVAL TO BE CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT UNDER SECTION 15304(e) OF THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT; AND 2) APPROVE THE APPLICATION FOR AN OUTDOOR FESTIVAL
LICENSE (MISC15-0006), SUBJECT TO THE RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS. (Development Services)

Rehabilitation Program Guidelines - On April 26, 2011, the Board of Supervisors adopted the current
CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Program Guidelines (Guidelines). CDBG now has a requirement that
Guidelines be separated into two distinct sections based on loans to Owner-Occupied and Owner-
Investor clients. The County consulted with its Housing Rehabilitation Program Administrator, the
Regional Housing Authority of Sutter and Nevada Counties, to make sure all other components of the
Guidelines were up to date. Changes to the Guidelines include: separated sections for Owner-
Occupied and Owner-Investor clients; increased loan and grant limits; updated income limits; and
deleted requirements for income recertification – action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration)
