4.05Resolution to Amend the Salary Ordinance - The Butte County Department of Public Health is
experiencing difficulty recruiting and retaining experienced staff who provide nursing and other
health related services to the community. Over the last three and a half years, the department
has had twenty (20) out of thirty-five (35) currently allocated positions turnover due to
retirement and voluntary terminations. Additionally, with the recent salary increases to the
nursing and medical classifications in other departments, the department will likely lose
additional staff as there is now a significant inequity in salary between nursing classifications that
have similar minimum qualifications. Despite continued and ongoing recruitment efforts, the
department continues to experience long-term vacancies and turnover in Certified Nurse
classifications. The majority of these vacancies exist in direct service delivery, clinical supervision,
and oversight positions. The inability to hire and retain qualified staff is creating ongoing
Increases to the
medical classifications in Public Health averaging 12% are recommended. The requested range
changes have been agreed to by the Butte County Management Employees Association and

4.06Resolution to Remove Reduced Fee for Recycling Green and Wood Waste at the Neal Road
Recycling and Waste Facility - On July 26, 2016, the Board of Supervisors directed the
Department of Public Works to bring forward a plan for the Board's consideration to discontinue
accepting source separated green and wood waste for recycling at a reduced rate of $12 per ton
at the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF). The department prepared a plan to
phase out accepting source separated green and wood waste for recycling effective December
1, 2016. The plan includes a public outreach campaign for informing customers about the change.
The department will begin the public outreach campaign on September 1, 2016 and provide
customers with details for using alternate facilities in Butte County. The NRRWF will continue
accepting source separated green and wood waste for recycling at the stratified rate of $12 per
ton until December 1, 2016 and will grind the material into Alternative Daily Cover and
incorporate it into landfill operations. The Board must adopt a resolution amending the master
fee schedule to eliminate the reduced rate for recycling green and wood waste effective
December 1, 2016. The solid waste fee is $42.11 per ton. After December 1, 2016, customers
will have the choice to recycle green and wood waste at an alternative facility or directly dispose
of their material into the NRRWF's landfill until such time as State law may ban the disposal of
organic materials action requested ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO

4.07Butte County 2016 Water Inventory and Analysis Report - In 2013 the Butte County Board of
Supervisors approved the Water Resource Management and Protection Project. The Project,
capabilities by developing comprehensive water resource analyses and analytical tools. The
2016 Water Inventory and Analysis Report, released in June, and the update of the Butte Basin
Groundwater Model (BBGM) were the first phase of the Project. The 2016 Water Inventory and
Analysis Report details trends in land use and land surface water budgets over the past 15 years
(2000-2014) for the county as a whole and for the four Inventory Units (Vina, West Butte, East
Butte and North Yuba) that roughly correspond to Bulletin 118 groundwater sub-basins subject
to the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. In addition, the report describes surface
water features in the county and diversions used for urban and agricultural demands. It also
describes groundwater conditions including groundwater levels, estimates of groundwater
pumping, and an update on the number of wells in the county by well type (irrigation,
monitoring, domestic, municipal/industrial). It serves as an update to the 2001 Water Inventory
and Analysis Report. The results and upcoming analyses of changed conditions will provide the
framework to continue the local dialogue on sustainable groundwater management. A couple
of key findings include: 1) Total irrigated agricultural acreage has been remarkably stable since
2000 with land use changes characterized largely by shifts in crop types; 2) Water budgets
reported through 2014 account for estimated changes in groundwater pumping, surface water
deliveries, and precipitation available for irrigation; and, 3) Wet and dry years have a big impact
on the water budgets and seem to drive annual variations in groundwater demand and deep
percolation (an important contributor to recharge). The full report is available at:
