protect, enhance, and support Butte County natural resources and agriculture by working with willing
land owners and citizens through education, land management, and on-the-ground projects. The
BCRCD is governed by a five member Board of Directors, one appointed from each supervisorial
district, made up of local land owners, ranchers and farmers. While in the process of updating its
policies and procedures, the BCRCD found that, pursuant to the Public Resources Code (PRC) Section
9352, the appointed Directors shall: "(1) reside within the district and either own real property in the
district or alternatively have serv
associate director providing advisory or other assistance to the board of directors, or (2) be a

designated agent, as Mr. Lee does not reside within the BCRCD. The boundaries of the BCRCD, as
defined by Board of Supervisors Resolution 02-062, include all of the unincorporated areas of Butte
County, excluding the territory within the Vina Resource Conservation District. County staff will be

2015, the City of Chico approved the agreement to allow the County to impose the development
impact fee for jail facilities contained in Chapter 3, Article II of the Butte County Code on all new
residential development within the City. The City has agreed to collect the revenue and forward it to
the County on a quarterly basis to provide a partial funding source for expanding the capacity of the
Butte County Jail. The agreement shall remain in effect for ten years after the agreement is signed;

3.12* Williamson Act Contract Amendment and Managed Wetland Area Plan (LCA14-0002 - Wild Goose
Club, Inc.) - Wild Goose Club, Inc. has applied for an amendment of its 1,432-acre Land Conservation
(Williamson) Act contract (LCA14-0002) in association with a previously approved internal lot line
adjustment (LLA13-0020) and partial cancellation of its contract (LCA14-0001). These previously
approved and completed actions separated an 8.8-acre area of the property developed with 21
seasonal hunting cabins and six other permanent structures from the 1,423-acre remainder of the
property, which would remain in the amended contract as open space for managed wetland. The
amended contract would also reflect the property's revised internal boundaries (Exhibit A of staff
report) and incorporate a managed wetland area plan (Exhibit B of staff report). Review of the lot line
adjustment, cancellation, managed wetland area plan and contract amendment by the County has
been consistent with guidance provided by the California Department of Conservation. The Board of
Supervisors approved the lot line adjustment on December 9, 2014 and the tentative partial
cancellation on March 24, 2015. The final certificate of partial cancellation was recorded on June 10,
2015. The managed wetland area plan and amended contract are the final approvals needed to
complete this set of actions. The Williamson Act Advisory Committee reviewed the amended contract
and managed wetland area plan on September 15, 2014 and recommended that the land to be re-
enrolled in the Williamson Act is used for the preservation of important open space for managed
wetlands and meets the definition of a managed wetland area under Section 51201(l) and the County's
program. The Committee further recommended that both the managed wetland area plan and the
amended contract are consistent with the County's program, and therefore recommended approval
of these items to the Board of Supervisors. Per Rule 5.B.1 of the Williamson Act program, the Board
must approve the managed wetland area plan before approving the amended Williamson Act contract
- action requested 1) DETERMINE THAT THE PROPERTY, SUBJECT TO AMENDED CONTRACT LCA14-
0002, MEETS THE DEFINITION OF A MANAGED WETLAND AREA IN SECTION 51201(l), AND APPROVE
THE MANAGED WETLAND AREA PLAN (EXHIBIT B OF THE AMENDED CONTRACT); 2) APPROVE THE
AMENDED WILLIAMSON ACT CONTRACT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND 3) DIRECT THE
CLERK OF THE BOARD TO RECORD THE AMENDED CONTRACT, SUBJECT TO THE APPLICANT'S PAYMENT
OF ANY OUTSTANDING FEES. (Development Services)
3.13* Budget Adjustment - Behavioral Health Crisis Residential Treatment Center, 556 Cohasset Road - On
July 28, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved and authorized the General Services Director to close

it is necessary to complete a budget adjustment to move funding from the California Health Facilities
Financing Authority (CHFFA) grant into the County's Capital Project Fund - action requested - APPROVE
BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 vote required). (General Services/Behavioral Health)
3.14* Amendment One to Lease X19896 - 2465 Carmichael Drive, Chico for Department of Employment and

Employment and Social Services currently uses approximately 62 parking spaces at 2465 Carmichael
Drive in Chico under a lease agreement. The Department desires to amend the lease and extend the
term to June 30, 2017. The rent payment for the 62 spaces will remain fixed at a flat fee rate of $682

3.15* Grant Application - Museum of Northern California Art (MONCA) at 900 Esplanade Butte County
owns the real property located at 900 Esplanade in Chico, which was constructed in 1927. The County
lacked sufficient funds to renovate the facility and looked to partner with another entity. The Museum
of Northern California Art (MONCA) submitted a Business Plan to the County which included fund
raising for property improvements that was approved, and a 20-year lease agreement was executed.
MONCA requests approval to prepare and submit an application for The Museum Grant Program,
sponsored by the California Natural Resources Agency and funded through the California Clean Water,
Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks and Coastal Protection Act of 2002 (Proposition 40) for
approximately $75,000, together with 100% matching funds provided by MONCA through donations.
The project is expected to be exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) under Section 15301 Existing Facilities, and the provisions of the National Environmental
Protection Act (NEPA) are not applicable to the proposed project. The grant funds would be used to
complete Phase 1 consisting of a state-mandated, exterior handicapped-accessible ramp and
associated appurtenances. The grant requires the Board of Supervisors to certify the following: the
County owns the property; the building has a useful life beyond 15 years; the Board authorizes the
submittal of the application and verifies the relationship with MONCA - action requested -

3.22* Palermo Road Culvert Rehabilitation Project - Project No. 2015-02 - In 2014, Palermo Road just west
of the intersections with Lone Tree Road experienced a partial collapse of the road shoulder due to
what was determined to be the deterioration of two 48-inch corrugated metal pipes (CMP). Public
Works crews at the time made temporary repairs to shore the shoulder with large rocks so that further
collapse of the road would not occur. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the entire
length of both pipes is in need of replacement. The method determined to be the most expeditious
for this site was to rehabilitate the two pipes by slipping two 36-inch high density polyethylene (HDPE)
pipes into the existing CMP structures, which will limit the amount of in-channel work and road
closures. Minor extensions of the culvert on the south side of the road will occur. The roadway section
will be partially excavated to repair the compromised road structure. In order to install the HDPE pipe,
approximately 32.3 cubic yards of accumulated sediment will also be removed from the downstream
side of the water course. No water will need to be diverted due to the ephemeral nature of the
tributary and the associated timing of the project, which is planned to occur before the winter rains
when there is no flow in the channel. The Public Works Department is requesting authorization to
advertise and solicit bids for the construction of this project - County Project No. 2015-02 action
requested 1) APPROVE THE PROJECT; 2) AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO ADVERTISE
AND SOLICIT BIDS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT; AND 3) AUTHORIZE CHAIR AND

3.25* Federal Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification - The offices of the Butte County Sheriff and
District Attorney participate in the Federal Equitable Sharing Program, and each office is required to
submit a Federal Annual Certification Report to the U.S. Department of Justice. Additionally, the
District Attorney is required to send a report to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. A report for FY
2014-15 has been prepared by each office which summarizes program activities and distribution of
Equitable Sharing Funds action requested - APPROVE THE EQUITABLE SHARING AGREEMENTS FOR
THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO ELECTRONICALLY SIGN

3.26* State Department of Finance Award for Court Operations - Proposition 30 requires the State to provide
annual funding for newly required activities that have the overall effect of increasing the level of
service or increasing a county's costs in a realigned program. The State recognized that new court
facilities built by the State may impose additional court security responsibilities and government Code
section 69927 permits counties to seek funding to cover costs associated with the activation of a new
courthouse. On February 25, 2015, the Sheriff's Office applied for Department of Finance (DOF)
funding to off-set the impacts of the north county courthouse opening by substantiating a need for 14
additional staff for a total cost of $1,373,000. On June 25, 2015, the DOF affirmed a need for 3.5 new
staff and awarded an ongoing budget augmentation of $322,500 to the Sheriff's budget. Additionally,
DOF awarded the Sheriff's Office one-time funds in the amount of $107,000 to compensate the Office
for start-up operating expenses. The Sheriff's Office has submitted a letter of appeal to request
additional funding for court operations. The DOF allows a county to employ those positions necessary
and appropriate with the funding awarded. The $322,500 will fund four additional positions and the
Sheriff's Office is requesting one deputy, one correctional deputy and two sheriff security officer
positions to staff the north county courthouse. The one-time award of $107,000 will be used to off-
set general fund operating expenses to run the court - action requested - APPROVE BUDGET
ADJUSTMENT (4/5 vote required). (Sheriff)

4.05* SB 863 Financing Program for Jail Construction, Application and Resolution - The existing Butte County
Jail lacks the proper capacity for our population, and the capacity it has is inadequate due to impacts
of AB 109. The Prison Realignment of 2011 has resulted in longer sentences and inmates serving time
for more serious crimes. Over the years, the Sheriff has had to release significant numbers of inmates
to avoid overcrowding, and has been limited in the kind of programs that can be run in the jail suitable
for the new population. There is a need for a new kind of jail, one that can house more inmates while
being able to provide services aimed at reducing recidivism. The Sheriff, the Chief Administrative Office
and County General Services are requesting approval to apply for up to $40 million in State funding
through the Construction of Adult Local Criminal Justice Facilities Project under the SB 863 Financing
Program. Funding will require the County to contribute a minimum of $4.445 million combined cash
and in-kind match. Cash match includes impact fees and inmate welfare funds. In-kind includes land
value and staff time dedicated to project management and transition planning. The proposed project
is to construct a stand-alone facility located adjacent to the existing jail. The new facility would include
36 special population beds for treatment of inmates with medical and mental health issues, a new
medical and dental clinic, 96 beds to replace existing substandard cells, a variety of program treatment
rooms, and a new central control and intake area. It is anticipated that operating costs will increase by
about $1 million annually over current operating expenses. Counties throughout the State are applying
for these limited funds, which will be awarded based on the proposed project and counties' ability to
demonstrate readiness-to-proceed. Proposals are due to the Board of State and Community
Corrections (BSCC) on August 28, 2015 action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE
CHAIR TO SIGN. (Sheriff)
4.06* Architectural Planning and Programming Design Services for Sheriff's Evidence-Morgue Building
Project - The existing Sheriff's Evidence structure was built in the mid-1960s. The corrugated metal
structure lacks proper accommodations, including climate control, and is no longer serviceable.
Replacing the structure with an adequate evidence storage/morgue facility has been included in the
Capital Improvement Program since 2004. The first phase of the project requires a contract with a
design team for planning and programming the final facility design. Nacht & Lewis, the architectural
firm that was selected during the formal solicitation process in 2014, has been determined to best
meet the needs of the County for this phase of the project. Staff recommends that the Board execute
the $64,970 contract, with an end date of December 31, 2015, to allow the Sheriff and General Services
to complete the first phase of the project. Funding for this phase of the project is included in the
approved FY 2015-16 budget and no additional appropriation is necessary action requested 1)
APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY COUNTY
COUNSEL AND AUDITOR-CONTROLLER; AND 2) APPOINT THE GENERAL SERVICES DIRECTOR AS
OFFICER OF THE PROJECT. (General Services/Sheriff)

5.Public Hearings and Timed Items
5.01* 9:30 a.m. Timed Item - Resolution of Intention to Form the Butte County Tourism Business
Improvement District - Butte County coordinated with each of the local jurisdictions and local tourism
stakeholders to complete the Butte County Tourism Strategy and Implementation Plan in October
2013. One initiative in the Strategy calls for establishing a reliable funding source for regional tourism,
such as a Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID). A TBID is funded by a special benefit
assessment; non-tax funds are raised through a small assessment on lodging stays and then used to
provide services, in this case tourism promotion, directly benefitting the businesses paying the
assessment. Nearly 90 TBIDs operate in California providing tourism promotion services. Short-term
lodging businesses in Butte County that will pay 58% of the assessment under the Butte County
Tourism Business Improvement District (BCTBID) have submitted petitions requesting the Butte
County Board of Supervisors initiate proceedings to form a TBID in accordance with the Property and
Business Improvement District Law of 1994. The lodging businesses have developed the Management
District Plan (MDP) for the BCTBID, which outlines the details for the district including district
boundaries, budget, services, governance, and district membership. The purpose of the BCTBID is to
promote tourism to Butte County and increase overnight stays at lodging businesses within the
County. In order to fund tourism promotion services, district members (lodging businesses) assess
2% on gross, short-
Association, which will be comprised of all district members and governed by a Board of Directors
chosen by the district membership. Each jurisdiction within the County will be responsible for
collecting the assessed funds on a monthly or quarterly basis and remitting them directly to the
BCTBID Owners Association action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR
TO SIGN. (County Administration)
5.02* 9:40 a.m. - Public Hearing - Updated County ADA Transition Plan and Amendment of Resolution
Designating ADA Compliance Officer - Butte County's Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA)/Accessibility Self-Evaluation is nearly 17 years old (The Otten Report, 1998). Changing uses of
County facilities, new design guidelines, and changing legislation made an update necessary. In order
to address compliance with ADA requirements, the County was awarded a Community Development
Block Grant to complete Phase 1 of a new Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan, which includes an
assessment of 21 facilities most frequently accessed by members of the public. In addition, the
County, with its own funding, also completed Phase 2 - Rights of Way and Phase 3 - Policies and
Procedures of the Self-Evaluation process and staff are developing the County's Updated ADA
Transition Plan based upon the results of that process. The item to consider Butte County's Updated
ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan and an amendment to the Resolution designating the
County's ADA Compliance Officer is requested to be continued to September 15, 2015 at 9:45 a.m. -
action requested - OPEN PUBLIC HEARING AND CONTINUE OPEN TO SEPTEMBER 15, 2015, AT 9:45
