With this approval, the Board adopted a resolution authorizing the Director of Public Works to execute and submit said Program Supplements to the Master Agreement. This was necessary to process the Program Supplements in an expeditious manner. Recently, Caltrans has started requiring individual Board resolutions authorizing the Director of Public Works to sign each Program Supplement Agreement. A proposed resolution authorizing the Director of Public Works to execute Program Supplement Agreement No 052-N to the Administering Agency-State Agreement for Federal-Aid Projects Master Agreement No. 03-5912R for the proposed signalization of the Lower Wyandotte Road & Monte Vista Avenue intersection under the 2011 Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program Grant received from the FHWA is in the staff report — action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works) OCTOBER 7,2014-BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA PAGE 3 OF 10 3.12* Signalization of Lower Wyandotte Road and Monte Vista Avenue Intersection - In 2012, the County was awarded a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) 2011 Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program Grant in the amount of $343,352, for the construction of traffic signal improvements at the intersection of Lower Wyandotte Road and Monte Vista Avenue south of the City of Oroville. Each roadway and the intersection were previously improved with curb, gutter, sidewalk, ADA pedestrian ramps, storm drain, and paving improvements with two separate State and Federal Safe Routes to School Program Grants. The intersection was improved with all-way stop controls and was prepared for the future installation of traffic signals. All the necessary right of way, pedestrian ramps, conduits, pull boxes, and traffic detection loops are already in place, so that there will be minimal disruption during proposed construction of the traffic signal improvements. The project will also include restriping the intersection to provide left turn pockets and a center turn lane along the Lower Wyandotte Road intersection approaches, which will require elimination of adjacent on-street parking. This area has a past history of rear end and sideswipe accidents to parked vehicles due to the narrow roadway and inattentive drivers that has resulted in incidences of residents parking partially on sidewalks and blocking the school children's path to school. The current engineer's estimate for this work is $338,000. If the final reimbursable costs come in below the currently programmed amount of $343,352, no matching local funds will be required. The Public Works Department is requesting authorization to advertise and solicit bids for the construction of this project - Federal Project No. CML-5912(102), County Project No. 23513-2012-02 — action requested - 1) APPROVE THE PROJECT; 2) AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO ADVERTISE AND SOLICIT BIDS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT; AND 3) AUTHORIZE CHAIR AND DIRECTOR TO SIGN PLANS. (Public Works) 3.13* Acceptance of State of California, Division of Boating and Waterways Grant - The Butte County Sheriff's Office is requesting to accept a grant from the State of California, Department of Parks and Recreation, Division of Boating and Waterways. The Surrendered and Abandoned Vessels Exchange (SAVE) grant in the amount of$23,000 has been awarded to the Sheriff's Office. The SAVE Grant is a combination of two programs: The Abandoned Watercraft Abatement Fund and the Vessel Turn-In Program. The grant funds can be used for either purpose. This is the first year of the grant and the Sheriff is very supportive of this program which will remove vessels that pose a substantial hazard to water enthusiasts, as well as offer citizens a resource for disposing of unwanted vessels. The term of the grant is October 1, 2014 through October 1, 2016.The grant requires a 10% match of$2,300 and will be met by using general funded personnel providing administrative staff oversight of grant activities and financial staff oversight of grant expenditures and filing of claims.

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. The Assessor's Office has one Office Manager position that is responsible for a substantial number of departmental administrative functions (billing, personnel, etc.), budget assistance and other job specific duties. The position is responsible for assistance with mission critical functions. The incumbent retired effective August 29, 2014. Although the position was filled, there is a critical need to have the retiree available for short- term, intermittent periods to assist the new hire on critical aspects of the position. The department anticipates utilizing this exemption on an as-needed-basis to assist with specific job related procedures to advance the new hire's transition and during an absence. Given unique subject matter expertise, the retiree is the only person capable meeting this critical short-term need. Having the ability to draw upon the expertise of the retiree during the new hire's transition period will assure Departmental program continuity and success. 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) - 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. (Assessor) OCTOBER 7,2014—BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA PAGE 5 OF 10 4.06* Sustainable Groundwater Management Act - On September 16, 2014, Governor Brown signed into law a package of bills (SB1168, AB1739 and SB1319) collectively called the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (Act). The Act is a comprehensive reform of California's groundwater management. For basins that meet state priority criteria, a local agency or a collection of local agencies must notify the State by June 30, 2017 of their intent to be a Groundwater Sustainability Agency. Counties are presumed to be the Groundwater Sustainability Agency for the areas not within the jurisdictional boundaries of local public agencies (i.e., water districts). Groundwater Sustainability Agencies are responsible for developing and implementing Groundwater Sustainability Plans (Plans) by January 31, 2022 for basins not in critical overdraft. Plans must evaluate the sustainability of the basin and identify actions that will be implemented to achieve sustainability over a 20 year period. Groundwater Sustainability Agencies will have broad authority to regulate well pumping, to require reporting, to set fees and to enforce locally enacted groundwater rules. The Act requires collaboration between Groundwater Sustainability Agencies and land use agencies. The State will have direct oversight of Groundwater Sustainability Agencies and their performance. The State Water Board will have the authority to intervene and impose its management in the absence of a Groundwater Sustainability Agency, a failure to submit a Plan or a failure to adequately implement a Plan. The State Water Resources Board would assume local water resource management responsibilities including well permitting, groundwater pumping restrictions, groundwater reporting and fees. The initial implementation of the Act will be based on guidance and regulations developed by the Department of Water Resources beginning in 2015 — action requested — ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION. (Water and Resource Conservation) 4.07* Donation of Capital Assets for Wildland Fire Detection Cameras - In partnership with PG&E and Yankee Hill Fire Safe Council (YHFSC) Butte County Fire Department has received a donation of five remote fire monitoring cameras with an estimated value of $195,000. The Wildland Fire Detection Camera System will enhance Butte County's fire protection through intelligence gathering and validation of a reported wildland or other fire in the remote areas of Butte County. The cameras will be strategically located on the north, central and southern areas of eastern Butte County to provide the greatest coverage 24/7.The cameras use sensors to detect potential fires and immediately notify the Emergency Command Center where a dispatcher reviews the image to confirm a report of a fire or of an unreported fire. The Fire Department will assume ownership and responsibility for the remote detection equipment and monitoring system. PG&E funds will install and provide camera maintenance for the first year of operation, after which it will become the responsibility of the Fire Department—action requested —ACCEPT THE DONATION OF THE CAMERAS FROM THE YANKEE HILL FIRE SAFE COUNCIL AND APPROVE CAPITAL ASSET ACQUISITION. (Fire) OCTOBER 7,2014-BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA PAGE 6 OF 10 4.08* Contract Approval and Budget Adjustment for Agilis Ballot Sorting and Signature Recognition S sy tem - The County Clerk-Recorder/Registrar of Voters recommends approval of a contract with Runbeck Election Services for the Agilis Ballot Sorting System with automatic Signature Recognition System, for processing returned voted ballot envelopes. The current system worked well for many years, but became inoperable and could not be used in the 2014 Primary Election. By 2016 the County must prepare for impact of new legislation that allows voters to register and vote in the Elections Office from the 14th day before an election up through the close of polls on Election Day, which will further increase the manual processes if no new system is in place. In order to replace the old system, the Department issued a competitive solicitation to which two vendors responded. The vendors included Bell & Howell ($309,008.75) and Runbeck Election Services ($273,050). The Runbeck system offers the same capabilities as the system used in the past, and as specified in the solicitation, but adds envelope sorting and opening as components. The new system will create greater operational efficiencies and will fully automate the time-consuming manual process of sorting out envelopes with no signature, irregular signatures, or double thickness, as well as sorting ballots that are considered "good" to precinct level and opening them. The maximum amount of the contract is $273,050, of which $242,412.50 is reimbursable under the Help America Vote Act. The term of the contract is from the date executed by the County through June 30, 2017. The FY 2014-15 payment of 242,412.50 is for purchase of the system (capital asset), with a second payment for maintenance and licensing of$30,637.50 in FY 2016-17—action requested— 1) APPROVE CONTRACT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; 2) APPROVE PURCHASE OF CAPITAL ASSET; AND 3) APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT(4/5 vote required).
