BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA—SEPTEMBER 9,2014
9:00 A.M. 1.00 CALL TO ORDER
1.01 Call to Order - Board of Supervisors Room, County Administration Building, 25 County
Center Drive, Oroville.
1.02 Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America.
1.03 Observation of a Moment of Silence.
2.00 CORRECTIONS AND/OR CHANGES TO THE AGENDA.
3.00 CONSENT AGENDA
AGRICULTURE 3.01* Adoption 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 of
Supervisors adopted an ordinance under the authority of the California Food and
Agriculture Code Section 866 to protect the agriculture industry of this County. The intent
of this article update is to establish 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 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. The Board waived the first reading of the proposed ordinance at the
meeting of August 26, 2014 — action requested - ADOPT ORDINANCE AND AUTHORIZE
THE CHAIR TO SIGN.
AUDITOR- 3.02* Adoption of Tax Rates for Fiscal Year (FY) 2014-15 - In accordance with Government Code

BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA-SEPTEMBER 9,2014
3.08* Resolution Regarding Authorization and Allocation of Penalties Related to Title 8, Chapter
12 of the California Government Code - Title 8, Chapter 12 of the Government Code
(commencing with section 76000) allows counties to create several funds with specific
purposes, and further allows counties to levy specific penalties on various offenses for the
benefit of these funds. The funds include the Courthouse Construction Fund (CCF), the
Criminal Justice Facilities Construction Fund (CJFCF), and the Emergency Medical Services
Fund (EMSF). The CCF is used to accumulate funds for the acquisition, construction, and
maintenance of courthouse buildings and related facilities. The Trial Court Facilities Act of
2002 transferred the responsibility of providing court facilities from the counties to the
State, thereby eliminating the need for counties to accumulate courthouse construction
funds, except for the repayment of debt obligations related to such facilities already
incurred. Once such debt obligations are retired, any monies remaining in the CCF must
be remitted to the State and certain penalties are to be reduced. Butte County's debt
related to courthouse facilities was fully retired as of July 1, 2014, thus necessitating the
following actions: 1) reaffirm the need for the CJFCF; 2) direct allocation of penalties on
criminal offenses to the CJFCF and the EMSF; 3) direct the Auditor-Controller to close the
CCF and remit any balance and amounts that accrue beginning July 1, 2014 to the State;
4) request that, beginning on October 1, 2014, the Clerk of the Court discontinue
allocating a fee assessment mandated by statute to the CCF and begin allocating the fee
assessment to the county General Fund; and 5) reduce the amount of penalties added to
parking offenses for the benefit of the County, per State requirements. The actions are
taken through the adoption of a resolution —action requested -ADOPT THE RESOLUTION
AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.
GENERAL 3.09* Paradise Veterans Memorial Hall Committee - The Paradise Veterans Memorial Hall
SERVICES Committee on behalf of the Veterans Organizations and Citizen Veterans using the
Paradise Veterans Memorial Hall has submitted the following nomination for
appointment to serve on the Paradise Veterans Memorial Hall Committee from July 1,
2014 through June 30, 2015. Citizen Veteran: Harry Hudson, Delegate—action requested -

RESOURCES employment contract with Arthur Robison, Director, Information Systems is requested.

requested—APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.
3.11* Resolution to Amend the Salary Ordinance - The Department of Human Resources has
prepared a resolution to amend the Salary Ordinance for the following departments:
County Counsel, Behavioral Health and General Services. These changes will initially
increase the allocations in the General Services Department until a vacancy is deleted at a
subsequent Board meeting. The following are the sections of the Salary Ordinance to be
amended:
County Counsel: request to flexibly staff one (1) position of Deputy County Counsel III/11/1
to Deputy County Counsel IV/III/11/1.This change will allow the department more flexibility
and create consistency among their current allocations. Any increase in costs associated
with this change will be covered in the department's adopted FY 2014-15 budget. This
change will leave the total allocations in the department unchanged.

BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA-SEPTEMBER 9,2014
Behavioral Health: request to add one (1) position of Assistant Director, Clinical Services
and delete one (1) vacant position of Senior Program Manager, Clinical Services. The
department has determined that the span of control is too large for one Clinical Assistant
Director. With the addition of a second Clinical Assistant Director, the department will
have greater oversight of clinical services and bring the span of control to a more
manageable level. Funding for this change is included within the department's adopted FY
2014-15 Budget. This change will leave the total allocations in the department unchanged
and have no fiscal impact on the County General Fund.
General Services: request to add one (1) position of Courier. This increase in allocation
will be temporary until an expected vacancy can be deleted at a future Board meeting.

4.06* Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) Post-Retirement Employment Exemption -
The PERS Pension Reform Act of 2013 requires newly retired persons to "sit out" for at
least 180 days before returning to work for an employer in the same retirement system
which they receive a retirement allowance. An exemption to this rule is provided with
governing body approval and adoption of a "Resolution for Exception to the 180-Day Wait
Period to Hire CALPERS Retiree Per Government Code Sections 7522.56 & 21224" that
must be submitted to CALPERS. Requested is approval of a certification resolution to
allow the extra-help hiring of Sandee Renault as a Physician's Assistant for the Public
Health Department. Sandee Renault is scheduled to retire as a regular-help employee on
September 12, 2014. The proposed extra-help hire date is September 13, 2014. The
position of Physician's Assistant is necessary for the Public Health Clinic to continue to
provide medical care services to clinic clients. Without this position filled, appointments in
the clinic will need to be canceled, possibly forcing clients to find services elsewhere.
Also, the department will lose out on revenue generating activities. Recruitments for a
Physician's Assistant or Certified Nurse Practitioner are currently running. Based on
previous recruitments, the department anticipates that it will take some time to fill the
vacancy with a qualified individual. As an extra-help employee, Sandee Renault will work
until a replacement is trained and provide coverage as needed to assure continuity and
access to care for clinic clients. The Director of Human Resources has reviewed the facts
and concurs that the request is consistent with the exemption outlined in Government
Code Section 7522.56(f)(1) and supports the request — action requested — 1) APPROVE
PERS POST-RETIREMENT EXEMPTION PURSUANT TO SECTION 7522.56 OF THE
GOVERNMENT CODE; AND 2) ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

5.00 PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS
9:30 A.M. 5.01* Public Hearing - Submittal of a Supplemental Activities Request for State Community
Development Block Grant Agreement 12-CDBG-8374 - As of July 1, 2014, the State
Department of Housing and Community Development implemented changes to the
Program Income (PI) and the Revolving Loan Account (RLA) policies in the State
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The policy changes require the
Butte County Housing RLA to be converted to PI and used first to fund open grant activities
when funds are available. The policy changes allow Butte County to amend current active
contracts to add Supplemental Activities, which allows awarded grant funds that have
been supplanted by PI to be used for programs and projects identified by the County.
Since the requirement of using PI first will likely result in contract funds being leftover in
the contract, leftover funding will roll to the Supplemental Activities, allowing the County
an opportunity to complete additional CDBG eligible activities so that awarded funds are
not lost due to having PI. Butte County has an open grant agreement, 12-CDBG-8374, with
the CDBG Program. The Administration Department, on behalf of Butte County,
recommends submitting a Supplemental Activity Request to add "Housing Rehabilitation
for Single Family Homes in the unincorporated area of Butte County" in the amount of
$80,000 as an eligible Supplemental Activity to the open CDBG grant, 12-CDBG-8374. The
Board's authority to submit such a request must be done through resolution — action
requested -ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Administration)
9:35 A.M. 5.02* Timed Item - Southside Oroville Community Center Sustainability Program -The Southside
Oroville Community Center (SOCC) was constructed in 2002, utilizing several diverse
funding sources. Many of the funding sources included terms and conditions that specified
the purpose and use of the facility. Subsequent to the construction, the Private Industry
Council (PIC) managed the SOCC on behalf of the County until 2011. Following
management by the PIC, the County has contracted with The Hignell Companies to manage
the SOCC. The costs to manage the facility have outpaced revenue generation, and the
County has been forced to subsidize the SOCC. Over the past several months, County staff
has been working with the Facility Manager and the SOCC Advisory Committee to develop
a Sustainability Program for the SOCC. The goal of the program is to create opportunities
for the community to become better served by the SOCC, increase facility rentals, increase
facility revenues, and develop a plan for long term maintenance of the SOCC. The
Sustainability Program includes three components: 1) Facility Reserve Analysis; 2)
Marketing Program; and 3) Community Empowerment Program — action requested -
