3.00 CONSENT AGENDA
AGRICULTURE 3.01* Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Sections 23-12 to 23-20 of Article IV of the
Ordinance Code of Butte County - Records of Ownership of Nut Crops - The Board has
adopted an ordinance under the authority of the California Food and Agriculture Code
(FAC) section 866 to protect the agriculture industry of this County. The intent of this
article update is to establish an improved means of verifying ownership of these specified
agricultural commodities in order to prevent and deter theft of those commodities, and
to provide a means for local enforcement of laws and regulations pertaining to the
purchase and sale of these commodities. This amendment would require proper
documentation of such possession on forms approved by the Agricultural Commissioner.
The amendment would continue a walnut buying period, after which non-processing
associated walnut buying operations may take place. The walnut industry is particularly
vulnerable to theft due to the manner in which nuts are harvested from windrows.
According to the Butte County 2012 Crop Report there were 37,900 harvested acres of
walnuts in Butte County with a market value of almost $234,000,000. This value will only
increase in the near future with more planted acres and higher commodity values. The
acreage of planted walnuts covers an expanse from the Tehama County border, to the
Sacramento River, to Durham, Gridley and the Sutter and Yuba County borders which
physically provides a daunting task for law enforcement to patrol. This ordinance still
provides a window of time to help law enforcement to focus its attention on other theft
issues, such as metal and equipment theft, by eliminating roadside buyers that set up
locations with temporary equipment and often pay cash without proper proof of
ownership. The ordinance provides an updated definition of a "processor" for nut
processing facilities—action requested -WAIVE THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE.
ASSESSOR 3.02* Resolution in Recognition of Jan Beruk Upon Her Retirement - Jan Beruk is retiring on
August 29, 2014. This is a resolution in appreciation of Ms. Beruk's more than forty years

AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA-AUGUST 26,2014
BEHAVIORAL 3.04* Mental Health Services Act Plan - In November 2004, California voters passed Proposition
HEALTH 63 creating the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA). MHSA created an additional income
tax on California residents making more than $1 million per year. Most of the MHSA
revenue is distributed to the counties. In 2005, the Butte County Department of
Behavioral Health (BCDBH) began the community input process through meetings, focus
groups, surveys and work groups to identify the community needs and to develop
program/service plans for Butte County.The County is required to update MHSA Program
and Expenditure Plans every three years. The proposed three year plan for FY 2014-15
through FY 2016-17 is the result of the collaboration of the BCDBH administrative team,
the BCDBH advisory board, and an extensive community input process which included
multiple public community input meetings, focus groups, and public surveys —action
requested - APPROVE THE MHSA THREE YEAR PLAN AND AUTHORIZE BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH DIRECTOR AND THE AUDITOR-CONTROLLER TO SIGN ACCOUNTABILITY
CERTIFICATION.
CHIEF 3.05* Consolidated Fiscal Year 2014-2015 Budget Adjustment - In order to comply with
ADMINISTRATIVE Governmental Accounting Standards and generally accepted accounting practices, the
OFFICE County's year-end process does not automatically roll over appropriations for contracts
and purchase orders encumbered in one fiscal year but spent in the next fiscal year.
Departments have to estimate what they might spend from their contracts or purchase
orders in any given year and then include the balance needed in the next fiscal year's
requested budget. Now that FY 2013-14 has ended, departments have more precise
estimates for FY 2014-15, which are consolidated into this single item. In addition, some
new grant funds and associated appropriations are included. In summary, the
adjustments include: General Fund - Increase appropriations by $188,389, offset by
$160,000 in new funding and $28,389 in restricted fund balance. These changes include
capital asset authority to purchase a Ballot-on-Demand system and a van. Public Health
Fund - Increase appropriations and revenue by $80,000. Public Safety/Health & Human
Services Realignment Fund - Increase appropriations and revenue by $160,000. Capital
Project Fund - Increase appropriations and revenue by $54,299. Public Works Fund -
Increase appropriations by$110,000, offset by use of fund balance, and approve a revised
Work Program. Neal Road Recycling & Waste Facility Fund - Increase appropriations by
$535,000, offset by use of fund balance — action requested — 1) APPROVE BUDGET
ADJUSTMENT (4/5 vote required); 2) AUTHORIZE PURCHASE OF CAPITAL ASSETS (2); AND
3)APPROVE THE PUBLIC WORKS ROAD FUND REVISED WORK PROGRAM.
3.06* Transfer Unspent 2011 Realignment Funds from Capital Projects Fund to General Fund - In
FY 2011-12, the Board of Supervisors approved a capital project that involved remodeling
a portion of the old Juvenile Hall for use as a Day Reporting Center (DRC). The DRC is part
of the County's plan to implement the 2011 Public Safety Realignment and the facility
remodel was funded entirely with revenue from the 2011 Realignment.The DRC has been
completed, and $2,689.93 in 2011 Realignment funds currently remains in the Capital
Project Fund. Statute requires that these funds be expended for the purposes of the 2011
Realignment, therefore approval is requested for a budget adjustment that will allow for
the transfer of these funds to the General Fund. Subsequently, the Community
Corrections Partnership will make a recommendation for the use of these funds, subject
to Board approval — action requested - APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 vote
required).

BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA-AUGUST 26,2014
3.07* Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Sections 1-17.5 and 1-17.6 of Chapter 1 Entitled
"Seal of the County of Butte" and "Use of the County Seal" of the Butte County Code - On
February 25, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved the Butte County Communication
Strategy for 2014 and 2015 (Strategy). The purpose of the Strategy is to establish Butte
County as open, responsive, and innovative when serving employees, the media, and the
public. The Strategy includes four initiatives designed to coordinate communication
efforts countywide in order to better serve and connect with internal and external
audiences. One of the action items in the Strategy is to establish a new Butte County Seal
that supports the brand image of Butte County as well as a policy and design brief for use
of the Butte County Seal for unified portrayal of County government. The Board of
Supervisors selected a design for the new Butte County Seal on June 24, 2014 and
directed staff to bring an ordinance before the Board to adopt the new design. The
ordinance amending Sections 1-17.5 and 1-17.6 of Chapter 1 entitled "Seal of the County
of Butte" and "Use of the County Seal" of the Butte County Code replaces the existing
Butte County Seal design with the design selected by the Board on June 24, 2014.
Amendments to Section 1-17.6, "Use of the County Seal", include authorized use of an
alternative image to the Butte County Seal which is a word mark that says, "Butte County
California". Additional amendments to Section 1-17.6 include authorization for the Chief
Administrative Officer to approve modifications to the design of the Butte County Seal for
use in advertising and promotion for Butte County — action requested - ADOPT
ORDINANCE AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.
3.08* Resolution Regarding Changes to Federal Rules Governing Acknowledgment Standards for
Indian Tribes -The Department of the Interior(DOI) has recently proposed changes to the
Acknowledgment Rule (Proposed Rule Changes) for the administrative process to
federally acknowledge American Indian tribes. These proposed changes would alter the
mandatory criteria, reduce the periods of federal evaluation of tribal identities, and
generally lessen the standards for federal acknowledgment that have been in place for
the last 36 years. In addition, if adopted, the proposed changes would also allow
previously denied petitioners an opportunity to re-petition for acknowledgment
administratively. Butte County has an interest in acknowledgment regulations and
decisions, as newly-recognized tribes may desire to secure trust lands, which are removed
from state and local jurisdiction. When lands are removed from the County's regulatory
jurisdiction, the obligation to provide law enforcement and other services may continue
or even increase, while regulatory control is lost and property taxes are no longer
collected to cover the cost of those services. The California State Association of Counties
(CSAC) has requested that all member agencies adopt a resolution opposing any changes
to the Acknowledgment Rule that would constrain the ability of local governments to
participate as interested parties during the review of acknowledgment petitions and
requesting that Congress hold oversight hearings to fully explore the potentially
significant impacts of the proposed changes. Adoption of the resolution will further allow
staff to prepare letters of opposition to DOI rule changes as necessary if the changes
would reduce the role of local governments as interested parties — action requested -
ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

recommendations contained in the 2013-14 Grand Jury Final Report. Also contained are

Superior Court. Attachment A in the staff report contains copies of Elected Department
Head responses, and Attachment B contains copies of Appointed Department Head

draft response, and a revised response can be submitted to the Presiding Judge — action
requested -APPROVE GRAND JURY RESPONSE AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.
FIRE 3.10* Approve Contract Between the State of California and Butte County for FY 2014-15 -The
County of Butte contracts with the State of California to provide fire protection services in
the unincorporated areas of Butte County. This contract has been in place since 1931 and
funds twelve full time County fire stations and six winter funded stations (Amador plan)
and various command and support staff throughout the County. The agreement between
the County and the State is for a term from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. The

GENERAL 3.12* Amendment to the Agreement with River City Controls for the Butte County Hall of
SERVICES Records Building Commissioning - In April, 2013, a $24,600 agreement was executed with
River City Controls to provide commissioning services for the new Butte County Hall of
Records Building. Commissioning services ensure that environmental aspects of the
design comply with California Building Code and the County's requirement for energy
conservation and that, once constructed, all components perform according to the
original design objectives. Subsequent to entering into the agreement, design
modifications were implemented in order to reduce the size of the facility and cost of
construction. Staff now recommends that the commissioning contract be amended to
provide for evaluation of these design changes and to allow for opposite season
commissioning services that were not part of the original contract terms. The $6,300
amendment brings the total contract to $30,900. Funding is included in the capital project
fund and no additional appropriation is needed — action requested - APPROVE THE
AGREEMENT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY
