establish the Merit System and Human Resources Program that regulates the appointment,
advancement, and removal of persons in the employ of the County. Contained within the
Personnel Rules is Appendix I, "Employee Promotion Process" (EPA). The EPA is a process that
allows an appointing authority to promote employees within their own department without the
employee going through the traditional departmental promotional process. This specific
situation is when there is a flexibly staffed position within a classification series and the
department wants to promote an employee from the lower level classification to the higher-level
classification.The classification series must be appropriate to be on the EPA list and is based on
criteria set by the Human Resources Department.The Human Resources Department completed
a thorough analysis of all job classifications prior to recommending the changes. Additionally,
County departments provided feedback on the changes and the changes have been reviewed
and approved by all labor groups—action requested -ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE
CHAIR TO SIGN. (Human Resources)

bargaining units on December 6, 2016. Both agreements contained a provision that employees
will pay an additional 1% of pensionable compensation towards the County's share of PERS
pension. Upon implementation,the County agreed to work with PERS to process a PERS contract
amendment,which would credit this contribution towards the employee's account.The first step
in the PERS contract amendment process is for the Board of Supervisors to adopt a resolution of
intention to amend the contract.There are other steps after the resolution is adopted, including
a vote by affected DSA members approving the amendment and certification from the County
that all PERS processes have been followed. Staff will return to the Board at a later date for
approval of the PERS contract amendment — action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Human Resources)

plan increases vary, and for some plans the rates were less than they were in 2017; 2) Delta
Dental: The 2018 rates will increase by approximately 6% compared to the 2017 rates. This is
primarily due to higher employee and dependent utilization. Delta Dental requires the County to
sign an amendment reflecting the new rates; and 3)The County's rates for vision, life insurance,
long term disability, and flexible spending will remain the same as they were in 2017. Approval
is requested for a resolution authorizing the Human Resources Director to sign various plan

3.22 Relief of Accountability- Library Fines and Fees -The Butte County Library charges a number of
fines and fees for overdue,damaged,or lost materials with the goal of having materials returned
to the Library for other patrons to use. Most fines and fees are paid timely, however some of
these charges ultimately become uncollectable debt.The library maintains a tracking system that
includes client balances for fines and fees back to 1997. Uncollected fines and fees accrued prior
to FY 2011-12 are considered uncollectable debt.The Department requests that the Board grant
relief of accountability in the amount of$784,107.48 for uncollectable client balances from FY
1997-98 to FY 2011-12.The average write-off per patron is$35.96. All of the uncollectable debt
is related to patrons who are considered inactive meaning that they have not used the library in
over five Years. Staff have worked with the Auditor's Office who concurs with the
recommendation.The relief of accountability will allow staff to update library records,accurately
reflect outstanding debt, and implement a process to regularly request relief of accountability
on uncollectable debt — action requested - GRANT RELIEF FROM ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE
AMOUNT OF $784,107.48. (Library)

Butte - The County of Butte historically contracts with the State of California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) to reimburse the State for their expenditures that are attributable to
the County roadways within a State operated intersection. For example, Richvale Highway at
Highway 99, has four roadways coming into the intersection, and three are owned by the State,
so the County has 25% responsibility for lighting and signal maintenance. This agreement is
similarto previous agreements, and has been updated to reflect current State contract language
and intersection configurations and percentages. Approval of a resolution is required by the
State, in order to document the Board of Supervisors' approval of the cost-sharing agreement—

appropriations of$34,721 for the purchase of the vehicle. After reviewing vehicle cost quotes
from suppliers, the cost of the vehicle is more than appropriated funding. An additional $9,900
is required to complete the vehicle purchase and equipment installation.The vehicle will be used
for uniformed law enforcement in the areas of Plumas and Lassen National Forests, Jonesville,
and Butte Meadows. The Sheriff's Office intends to utilize Federal Revenue Sharing funds to

3.26 Securus Telephone and Video Visitation Services Contract Extension - The Sheriff's Office
contracts with Securus for inmate telephone and video visitation services and has done so for
seven years. Revenue received is used for inmate programs. The Sheriff's Office just completed
a lengthy Request for Proposal (RFP) and is in the process of completing selection of a vendor. In
order to provide telephone and video visitation continuity of services, the Sheriff's Office is
requesting a contract extension through December 30, 2017. The current contract expired in
December of 2016 and the Sheriff's Office has been consistently receiving services and revenues
from Securus on a month-to-month basis ever since, $15,700 per month on average. Contract
expiration was an oversight due to the complexity of the RFP, requiring two RFP releases, and
with an extremely lengthy question list posted by vendors interested in a response.This industry
of inmate telephone services is highly competitive requiring a solicitation and selection process
of extreme complexity.There is no cost to the County—action requested -APPROVE CONTRACT
AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Sheriff-Coroner)
3.27 Contract with PayGov, LLC for Electronic Payment Processing - The Butte County Board of
Supervisors approved an Electronic Payment Policy in 2016, and an RFP was generated in the fall
of 2016 for Electronic Payment Processing services on a county-wide basis. Data was obtained
from all departments utilizing such services to determine the level of activity and associated
processing and reporting requirements. Eleven respondents provided competitive quotes. The
lowest responsible bidder was determined to be PayGov, LLC, which is also the County's current
vendor.The contract term with PayGov, LLC is from September 12, 2017 until June 30, 2022,and
provides pricing that reduces costs to users from as high as 3.49% down to 2.49% on user paid
credit card transaction fees, and to 2.25% for county absorbed credit card fees. E-checks are
priced at$1.00(user paid)or$.35 (county absorbed).The total cost estimate for the term of the
contract is capped at$35,000 for all departments; however, it is not anticipated to actually reach
that level. In accordance with the Board approved Electronic Payment Policy,a process has been
put in place for Department Heads to present a business case and request approval for
absorption of fees associated with processing electronic payments. Chief Administrative Officer
approval is required to absorb those fees. The Managed Procurement Contract also provides a
process for additional departments to add this service readily — action requested - APPROVE
CONTRACT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Treasurer-Tax Collector)

utilizing surface water to irrigate orchards where it is available. The project is consistent with
policies and priorities of Butte County.The Board of Supervisors approved Amendment 1 to the
agreement on October 11, 2016. Amendment 2 would move funds from Task 4 - Economic
Evaluation of In-lieu Recharge to Task 2 -GIS Assessment to Mapping.The amount of the grant,

4.04 Resolution Allowing Release Time to Volunteer for the Recovery Efforts from Hurricane Harvey
On September 13, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved release time for employees wishing
to volunteer aid to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, subject to procedures approved by the
Human Resources Director and the Chief Administrative Officer. At the time, Hurricane Katrina
was the worst natural disaster to hit the United States since the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
Many Butte County employees rendered valuable service in New Orleans. On August 25, 2017,
Hurricane Harvey made landfall on the Texas coast. The unprecedented rainfall from Hurricane
Harvey has flooded many communities in Texas, leaving thousands of people homeless. It will be
weeks or months before residents can return to their homes and businesses to rebuild their lives.
Besides monetary donations sought by the Red Cross and other reputable agencies, there is a
critical need for volunteers to provide assistance with both rescue and recovery efforts.Approval
is requested for a resolution allowing release time for employees wishing to volunteer in the
rescue and recovery efforts from Hurricane Harvey, subject to procedures approved by the
Human Resources Director and the Chief Administrative Officer. Release time is paid time off
during which employees continue to accrue benefits, earn vacation, etc. Procedures are subject
to meet and confer with employee bargaining units. Each employee bargaining group and the
applicable department head must approve release time — action requested - ADOPT
RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration)
4.05 Electronic Records Retention Resolution for Development Services - The Department of
Development Services prepared department-specific policies and procedures for electronic
records retention. The proposed resolution is also specific to the department. The Department
of Development Services worked with County Counsel and Information Services on this
approach. The proposed resolution and the policies and procedures are consistent with State
requirements for a trusted system. The process would allow the department to retain an
electronic image of the hard copy file materials consistent with the County Records Retention
policy(Resolution No. 14-168).This also authorizes the Director to destroy the hard copy file only
after compliance with the proposed policy and procedures — action requested - ADOPT
RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Development Services)
4.06 Amendment to Rule 5.A of the Land Conservation(Williamson)Act Program-The Williamson Act
sets minimum standards for the size of parcels to be enrolled in the Act (10 acres for prime
farmland; 40 acres for non-prime farmland), but allows local jurisdictions to impose more
restrictive (larger) minimum size requirements. Table 1 of the Butte County Williamson Act
program establishes larger minimum parcel size requirements for enrollment based on the type
of agricultural use of the property: 20 acres for orchards; 80 acres for row crops, rice, irrigated
pasture and open space; and 160 acres for dry land grazing. Rule 5.A.5.a of the Butte County
program further requires that parcels to be enrolled must also meet the minimum parcel size of
the applicable base zone (AG-20 through AG-160). Members of the public and the Williamson
Act Advisory Committee have questioned the need for the latter, more stringent limitation on
enrollment. For example, Rule 5.A.5.a disqualifies otherwise eligible 20- to 39-acre orchard
parcels in the AG-40,AG-80,and AG-160 zones.Additional updates and cleanups are also needed
to bring Rule 5.A into conformity with the County's updated zoning, as well as other regulatory
requirements. The Butte County Williamson Act Advisory Committee considered potential
modifications to Rule 5.A at its meeting on May 22, 2017 and recommended deleting the Rule
5.A.5.a requirement that Williamson Act parcels must meet the minimum parcel size set by the
base zoning.The Committee also recommended other amendments to Rule 5.A as shown in the
proposed amended text. Parcels to be enrolled would still be required to meet all applicable
zoning, policy, and statutory requirements. Staff is also using this opportunity to correct some
cleanup items in Rule 5, including corrections to acronyms, formatting, and references to State
statute. The strikethrough version of the Rule 5.A language amendment is included on page 20

from a Medi-Cal Fee-for-Service (FFS) format to a Medi-Cal Managed Care Model. Under the
Medi-Cal Managed Care Model, approximately 64,000 Butte County Medi-Cal beneficiaries are
assigned to a health plan that contracts with health care providers and hospitals to provide care
to the beneficiaries. Payments to contracted health care providers and hospitals are made by the
health plans. Butte County was placed in the Regional Expansion Model, which included 18
counties.There are 6 state approved models.After several years of experience with the Regional
Expansion Model and review of other models, it has become evident that Butte County would
be better served to switch to a County Organized Health System (COHS). Partnership is a COHS
that has consistently received higher quality scores than other health plans.Along with providing

populations, and support population based initiatives. Approval is requested for a resolution
