submitted a request to increase member compensation to $200 for a full day (4 hours or more)

and recommends increasing AAB compensation to $150 for a full day(4 hours or more) and $75
for a half-day (less than 4 hours). Depending upon the number and length of future meetings,
the change in compensation could mean a minimum increase of$720 per year to a maximum

budget in the General Fund. The ordinance being introduced amends Section 21-56 of the Butte

3.28 State Funding for Court Operations - Supplemental Trial Court Security Funds, due to new
courthouse construction, are to be allocated to each County where a new courthouse was
constructed. In previous years,the State has not provided sufficient funding to cover the cost of
the service, and the State Department of Finance (DOF) has not been responsive to the Sheriff's
appeals. During the budget process,the Sheriff's Office made every effort to determine the level
of funding that DOF appropriated for the new north county courthouse but there was no
indication that DOF would provide funding at a higher level. Recently,the Sheriff's Office learned
that DOF intends to award Butte County$475,691 in Supplemental Trial Court Security Funding
to cover the operating costs of the new courthouse. This augmentation to the court budget
permits the Sheriff's Office to modify the initial budget reduction plan to eliminate three
deputies and three court security officers. This funding allows the Sheriff's Office to retain two
deputies and three court security officer positions previously slated for reduction — action
requested -APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT(4/5 VOTE REQUIRED). (Sheriff-Coroner)

asset of the County. Over the last decade, the legal and technical aspects surrounding the
management and storage of information have changed dramatically. It has become clear that,
as an asset, information needs to be managed effectively in order to control related risks and
maximize value for the County and the people it serves. Approval is requested for the proposed
Information Governance Policy, a revised Computer and Information Security Policy, and a
revised Health Information Policy. Each of these policies play a key role in effectively managing
information and are the result of a joint effort of staff from multiple departments — action
requested — 1) ADOPT THE INFORMATION GOVERNANCE POLICY; 2) ADOPT THE REVISED
COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SECURITY POLICY; AND 3) ADOPT THE REVISED HEALTH
INFORMATION POLICY. (Information Systems/County Administration)
4.08 Boys and Girls Club of the North Valley-In preparing the FY 2017-18 budget, it became necessary
to reallocate funding to mitigate budget shortfalls. Funding historically provided to the Boys and
Girls Club of the North Valley (Boys and Girls Club) was reduced from $236,000 to $46,000 to
meet departmental budget needs. At the June 27, 2017 Board of Supervisors meeting, the Chief
Probation Officer requested a 60-day window in order to further evaluate the reduction of the
Boys and Girls Club funding and determine if any alternative funding sources could be found.The
department found that several contracts ended in FY 2016-17 with unclaimed reimbursements
whose leftover funding could be redirected toward the Boys and Girls Club. In addition,the State,
upon Probation's request, provided approval to redirect a previously approved vehicle
expenditure to the Boys and Girls Club for the provision of preventative services. Lastly,
Probation had budgeted funds in FY 2017-18 for case management system services but were
able to pay for those services in FY 2016-17 with unanticipated revenue. These sources add up

this is one-time funding and that alternative funding may not be available in FY 2018-19. It is
requested that the Board of Supervisors authorize the proposed plan to continue funding for the
Boys and Girls Club for FY 2017-18, authorize the Chair to sign the contract, and approve the
