3.01 Resolutions Establishing Appropriation Limit for Fiscal Year WY) 2019-20— In November of 1979,
California voters passed Proposition 4, which added Article XIIIB to the State Constitution. This
Article establishes limits on the appropriation of proceeds of taxes. Proposition 4 establishes
and defines annual appropriation limits on State and local governmental entities based on annual
appropriations for the prior fiscal year, adjusted for changes in cost of living and population.
Revenues received in excess of appropriations permitted by this measure are required to be
returned by revision of tax rates or fee schedules within the next two subsequent fiscal years,
and appropriation limits may be established or temporarily changed by the electorate. The
legislation, which implemented Proposition 4 (Government Code section 7910), requires that a
jurisdiction's governing body establish, by resolution, its appropriation limit for the following
fiscal year no sooner than 15 days after documentation used to determine the limit is available
to the public. Due to the documentation not being available until July 17, 2019, the
appropriation limits were unable to be set until after the FY 2019-20 Budget was adopted. In the
event the Adopted Budget is not compliant with the limit, the Board would be presented with
budget adjustments. County of Butte appropriations are compliant with Proposition 4
limitations. The FY 2019-20 appropriations limit is $205,897,301 and the FY 2019-20 total
adjusted appropriations subject to the limit is $50,636,911. The Auditor -Controller recommends
the Board of Supervisors adopt resolutions confirming Proposition 4 appropriation limit
calculations for the County of Butte and all special districts under the control of the Board of
Supervisors for FY 2019-20 — action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTIONS (2) AND AUTHORIZE THE
CHAIR TO SIGN. (Auditor -Controller)
3.02 Resolution Recognizing September 2019 as National Preparedness Month - The Office of
Emergency Management and the Sheriff's Office recommend the Board of Supervisors adopt a

income homeowners rehabilitate their homes and create safe, healthy living conditions by
providing low or no interest Housing Rehabilitation Loans. The County funds the Housing
Rehabilitation Assistance Program through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) grant

3.05 FY 2018-19 Year -End Budget Adjustments and Ratify Capital Asset Purchase — Each year, as part
of the year-end process, an analysis is completed to identify budget adjustments to address
deficit budget balances from the previous year. The recommended budget adjustments include
increased appropriations of $1,529,268 in various funds, offset by $1,016,862 in unanticipated
revenues, and $512,406 in use of fund balances. The adjustments do not require the use of
General Fund Appropriation for Contingencies. This year in addition to budget adjustments, it is
recommended that the Board of Supervisors ratify and provide Capital Asset purchase authority
for the final payment on a fire engine. The purchase of the fire engine was initiated with approval
from the Board of Supervisors in FY 2017-18, but not completed until FY 2018-19. Due to an
administrative error, the purchase was not reauthorized in FY 2018-19. The Fourth Quarter
Financial Report, typically presented to the Board of Supervisors in November, will provide
greater detail and analysis of FY 2018-19 expenditures and revenues — action requested -
APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS AND RATIFY CAPITAL ASSET PURCHASE (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED).
(County Administration)
3.06 Consolidated FY 2019-20 Budget Adiustments and Capital Asset Purchase Authoritv - Each fall

containing routine budget adjustments that are needed in transitioning to the new fiscal year.
Staff have updated revenue estimates, as well as more precise cost estimates for projects and
purchases spanning fiscal years that need to be rebudgeted in FY 2019-20, and have identified a
number of recommended budget clean-up actions. The adjustments include Capital Asset
purchase authority for a rebudgeted fire engine, a patrol vehicle, and parts and equipment for
patrol vehicles. The adjustments total $7,106,842 in additional appropriations, including
transfers between funds and a $104,851 transfer from General Fund Appropriation for
Contingencies as detailed in the staff report. The remaining adjustments are offset by the use of
fund balances or increased revenue — action requested - APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS AND
REAUTHORIZE CAPITAL ASSET PURCHASES (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED). (County Administration)

3.08 Contracts Related to Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) Funding - The Butte Countywide

sole discretion over how HEAP funding is spent and who receives the funding. The Department
of Employment and Social Services serves as the Administrative Entity for the CoC and will be
monitoring the contracts and distributing the funding based on the CoC Council's
recommendation and the terms set forth by the State of California — action requested - APPROVE
CONTRACTS (4) AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Employment and Social Services)
3.09 Resolution Adopting a Standard of Aid for General Assistance (GA) and Amendments to the GA
Manual, and Related Budget Adjustment— GA is a State -mandated program providing temporary
monthly support to indigent adults who are not supported by their own means, other public
funds, or assistance programs. Butte County currently has approximately 400 eligible clinets in
the program. GA is a loan program, and participants are required to pay back support received
from the program. All recipients are required, as a condition of eligibility, to sign a repayment
agreement to the County for all GA payments received based on their ability to pay. Those
applying as disabled and unable to work are required to apply for Supplemental Security Income
as a condition of eligibility. Able-bodied clients are provided job search services designed to help
them obtain employment and reach self-sufficiency. The Department of Employment and Social
Services recommends that the Board approve a resolution setting the GA rate at $520 per month
for a single individual effective October 1, 2019. This is an increase of 41%, changing the GA
amount from $369 per month. The Department estimates the increase to be $540,000 through
the remainder of FY 2019-20. The rate increase is in accordance with the changes made by Senate
Bill 80 (Human Services Omnibus) and conforms to the State Welfare and Institution Code section
17000.5, which links any adjustment made in the CalWORKs program to a corresponding increase
in the GA program. The Department also recommends approval of a budget adjustment
increasing GA payments using General Fund Appropriation for Contingencies. The recommended
budget increase is $216,000 since the Department anticipates recouping approximately 60% of
GA costs - action requested - 1) ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND
2) APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FROM THE GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATION FOR
CONTINGENCIES (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED). (Employment and Social Services)

3.10 Resolution to Amend the Salary Ordinance - The Department of Human Resources recommends
the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution amending the Salary Ordinance for the following
departments:
HUMAN RESOURCES: On August 27, 2019 the Board of Supervisors approved the new
classification of Housing Navigator. The classification was inadvertently added to the "General
Unit" section of the Salary Ordinance instead of the "Social Services Workers' Unit." The
Department recommends correcting this error and adding the classification of Housing Navigator
to the "Social Services Workers' Unit" by amending Section 28 Reference D of the Ordinance No.
4149 of the County of Butte entitled "Social Services Workers' Unit."
PROBATION: Add 1 Assistant Chief Probation Officer position and delete 2 vacant Chief Deputy
Probation Officer positions. The Department recommends a reorganization that would allow for
greater efficiency of operations, while creating budget savings by consolidation. This change will
better meet the needs of the Department by having two Assistant Chief Probation Officers (one
existing) and each position will oversee a major component, either the Juvenile or Adult division.
Total allocations to decrease by one. There is no impact to the General Fund Budget.
PUBLIC WORKS: Delete 1 vacant term Manager, Program Development (term to end 3/31/2021)
position and add 1 flexibly staffed Civil Engineer position. This change will better meet the needs
of the Department. Flexibly staff 1 vacant Vehicle Services Worker position up to Heavy
Equipment Mechanic, Senior, to allow the Department more flexibility in filling the allocation.
Delete 1 vacant Supervisor, Support Services position and delete 1 vacant flexibly staffed
Accountant position following internal Departmental promotions. Flexibly staff one
Administrative Assistant position in anticipation of an upcoming retirement to allow the
Department more flexibility in filling the allocation. Total allocations to decrease by two. There
is no impact to the General Fund Budget.

3.12 Contract Change Order (CCO) for Decommissioning of the Primary Septage Pond at the Neal Road
Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF) Project - On June 26, 2018, Myers and Sons Construction,
LLC, of Sacramento was awarded the Decommissioning of the Primary Septage Impoundment
Project at the NRRWF. The project scope of work includes the pumping, trucking, and disposal
of the liquid in the pond, removal and drying of the accumulated bio -solids and sludge, and
removal of the 4.4 acre pond liner system. The contract award amount was $2,391,916. Three
contract change orders have already been negotiated and approved. CCO No. 1, in the amount
of $26,183, adjusted the compensation for hauling to alternate facilities. CCO No. 2, in the
amount of $267,600, adjusted compensation for increased haul route length. CCO No. 3, in the
amount of $200,000, increased the amount of liquid hauled due to rain volume. The volume of
bio -solids stated in the bid documents was based upon approximate field measurements made
using a boat, which led to an inherent degree of inaccuracy. Additionally, after the final
measurement of the pond depth, additional septage material continued to be delivered into the
pond, up to the date of final conversion and activation of the transfer facility. The engineer's
estimated volume of bio -solids was 1,500 dry tons, at completion of construction, a total of 2,898
tons were removed and processed. This was a substantial increase above the engineer's
estimate, and the price per ton was renegotiated with Myers and Sons Construction, LLC, and
reduced from $400 per ton down to $358 per dry ton. CCO No. 4, in the amount of $436,471,
provides for a revised contract unit price for removal of bio -solids and increases the engineer's
estimate for the quantity of bio -solids to be removed. All water and bio -solids have now been
removed, and all work on this project is complete except for final testing and clearance of the
soil beneath the liner system, which is in progress — action requested - APPROVE CONTRACT
CHANGE ORDER AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)
3.13 Budget Adjustment, Capital Asset Purchase, and Capital Asset Surplus — Vehicles - The Sheriff's
Office recommends the Board approve the purchase of seven additional vehicles in FY 2019-20,
and declare four vehicles surplus to the needs of the County. Four Sheriff vehicles were
destroyed beyond repair by the Camp Fire. The purchase of four vehicles will replace the
destroyed vehicles, which will be surplussed. Funding for the replacement of the four vehicles is
covered through insurance reimbursement. Additionally, two vehicles will replace vehicles
currently used for front line law enforcement, plus one vehicle for Coroner transport services.
Funding for the purchase of the three vehicles will come from existing appropriations and
program savings — action requested - 1) APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED);
2) APPROVE CAPITAL ASSET PURCHASES (7); AND 3) DECLARE CAPITAL ASSETS (4) SURPLUS TO
THE NEEDS OF THE COUNTY. (Sheriff -Coroner)
3.14 Resolution Terminating the Tax Collector Central Collections Revolving Fund — The Board of
Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 06-166 on December 12, 2006, establishing the Treasurer -
Tax Collector Central Collections Revolving Fund (the Fund) in the amount of $2,000 for the
purpose of complying with California Government Code Section 29320 et seq. The Auditor -
Controller's Office has analyzed the Fund and determined that it is no longer needed for efficient
operations in the Treasurer -Tax Collector's Office. The Fund and associated checking account
was mainly used to purchase postage stamps and to pay fees to law enforcement agencies for
serving Earnings Withholding Orders (EWOs) for delinquent court fines. The Department now
uses a CalCard for postage stamp purchases and no longer handles the EWO process internally.
The Treasurer -Tax Collector's Office recommends that the Board adopt a resolution terminating
the Fund and directing the County Treasurer to deposit the balance of $1,956 into the General
Fund —action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Treasurer -

Service Area (CSA) or Permanent Road Division (PRD) is a type of dependent special district
governed by the Board of Supervisors. Some CSAs and PRDs are funded by service charges to

Health, and General Services. Each of these Departments calculate the requested parcel charges
not to exceed the maximum voter approved amount previously established pursuant to
Proposition 218, the Right to Vote on Taxes Act. These charges may fluctuate year by year
depending on the anticipated funding needs as approved in the Adopted Budget, number of
parcels in the area and other available resources. Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors
