CHIEF 3.05* Anderson & Associates - Agreement for Financial System Implementation - The County
ADMINISTRATIVE completed a gap analysis and business process review related to the County's current
OFFICE financial system in July. The purpose of the evaluation was to determine if the current
financial system could meet the County's needs into the future, or if the County would
need to solicit for a new enterprise-wide financial system. The results of the evaluation
process determined that the current system can meet the County's needs, if the County
completes a full implementation of the system as designed, including re-engineering
many of the County's business processes to utilize the full functionality of the system
where appropriate and practical. Investing in the system the County already has will be
more cost effective than starting over and purchasing and implementing a new system,
which would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Support Services Coordination
Work Team, consisting of the Chief Administrative Officer, Auditor-Controller, Treasurer-
Tax Collector, Chief Financial Officer, and the Directors of the Information Systems,
General Services and Human Resources Department, recommends that the County enter
into an agreement with Mike Carver and Mark Conry, through Anderson & Associates, for
project management and business process re-engineering assistance as part of the
County's full implementation efforts. The contract is for a not-to-exceed price of$52,800
with an anticipated end date of June 30, 2014. The contract will be funded out of existing

PUBLIC HEALTH 3.14* Donation of Port-a-Cribs to Northern Valley Catholic Social Service for Distribution
through Home Visitation Program - On September 24, 2013, the Board of Supervisors
approved an agreement with Northern Valley Catholic Social Service (NVCSS)to provide a
home visitation program for new and expecting mothers in the Paradise and Magalia
areas to improve pregnancy outcomes, prevent child abuse and enhance parent child
bonding. The Public Health Department currently possesses 46 port-a-cribs, which were
purchased with Title V funding for the purpose of providing education and reduction in
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. In previous fiscal years, the department distributed the
port-a-cribs through the department's nurse home visiting program. However, due to the
reduction in Targeted Case Management funding and concurrent elimination of Public
Health's nurse home visiting program, the department desires to donate port-a-cribs to
NVCSS to distribute in conjunction with the home visitation program in the Paradise and
Magalia areas — action requested - APPROVE DONATION OF 46 PORT-A-CRIBS TO
NORTHERN VALLEY CATHOLIC SOCIAL SERVICES.
PUBLIC WORKS 3.15* Drake Haglan Associates - On June 14, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved an
agreement with Drake Haglan Associates for preliminary engineering and design services
related to the bridge replacement on Oregon Gulch Road across Morris Ravine. This
agreement expired on June 30, 2013. It is requested that the term be extended to
December 30, 2015 with the maximum payable amount of $129,920 (funded through
Federal revenue) This is an increase of $30,000. The contract amendment will cover the
work necessitated by an alignment shift required to accommodate larger turn radii on the
approach roadway onto and off the proposed structure. This shift has also necessitated
the design of a retaining wall system — action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT
AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO SIGN SUBJECT TO
REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND AUDITOR-CONTROLLER.
3.16* Golder Associates, Inc. -The Public Works Department requests approval of an agreement
with Golder Associates, Inc. (Golder) to provide compliance monitoring of the Neal Road
Recycling and Waste Facility's (NRRWF) landfill gas collection and control system. Golder
is contracted with Ameresco Energy to provide well field "tuning" to maximize gas
collection for its landfill gas to energy plant. Golder provides this service once per month.
Ameresco states that twice a month tuning is optimal. The NRRWF currently contracts
with SCS Engineers to provide monitoring of the landfill gas wells once per month to
determine compliance with local, state and federal air quality regulations. However, SCS
does not make any adjustments to the gas wells. Ameresco desires to maximize gas
production and prefers that its consultant, Golder, make those adjustments. The
proposed agreement with Golder will allow Golder to monitor and make adjustments to
the wells twice per month. If a gas well is found to be out of compliance, it can make
adjustments and re-monitor during the next visit. Currently, if a gas well is found to be
out of compliance by SCS, staff contacts Ameresco, which then contacts its consultant to
make adjustments. NRRWF has to request SCS to perform follow-up re-monitoring at an
additional cost. This agreement would result in a savings for re-monitoring services. SCS is
under contract with NRRWF for environmental compliance services and will continue to
do all compliance reporting. Golder will provide SCS with the monthly monitoring data for
the landfill gas wells. SCS will discontinue gas well monitoring, and Golder will provide
those services at the same cost. The agreement will expire on December 31, 2015 with
the maximum payable amount of $46,450 ($10,800 for FY 2013-14) — action requested -
APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR TO SIGN SUBJECT
TO REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND THE AUDITOR CONTROLLER.

RESOURCE wrote a letter to the Board of Supervisors asking why the County did not submit a letter
CONSERVATION challenging the Thermalito Water & Sewer District water transfer program. On May 7,
2013, the Board of Supervisors directed the Department of Water and Resource
Conservation to raise concerns over regional out-of-basin groundwater substitution water
transfer programs. Earlier this year,the County submitted letters of concern to districts in
the region that were planning to conduct an out-of-basin groundwater substitution water
transfer program. The Thermalito Water & Sewer District water transfer program is not
an out-of-basin groundwater substitution water transfer program. The Board of
Supervisors is requested to approve a letter that addresses the inquiry from BEC— action

3.18* Resolution of Support for Northern Sacramento Valley Integrated Regional Water
Management Plan (NSVIRWMP) - In 2006, Butte County entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with other counties within the northern Sacramento valley to
cooperate and share information on water-related issues that often cross over and
between local jurisdictions. Over the years since the original MOU, there have been four
addenda to the MOU, which culminated in the counties of Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Tehama,
Shasta and Sutter cooperating to form the Northern Sacramento Valley Regional Water
Management Group. This group established a governing board (NSV Board) with three
appointments by each of the six counties to oversee the completion of the NSVIRWMP.
This planning effort was funded through a Prop 84 grant in 2011. The draft plan was
approved by the NSV Board on September 9, 2013 and released as the public draft. Action

2014 Board of Supervisors regular meeting calendar. Pursuant to Butte County Code

4.04* Resolution Suspending Rental of the Gridley Veterans Memorial Hall - Currently, General
Services is responsible for the management of the Butte County Veteran Memorial Halls.
In an effort to increase revenue for repairs and maintenance of the Halls, rental policies
and procedures were updated in 2003 and rental rates were increased based on a
comparative study of local rentals. Success has been mixed, with costs still exceeding
benefits, particularly in the Gridley Veterans Memorial Hall. Therefore, and in support of
the desires of the Gridley Veterans, staff recommends adoption of a resolution to suspend
public rentals and local agency use, and utilize the Gridley Veterans Memorial Hall only for
Veteran sponsored events consistent with its original intended use — action requested -
ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (General Services)
4.05* Area of Origin Settlement (Sacramento County Superior Court Case No: 34-2008-00016338
CU-BC-GDS) - Butte County and three other State Water Project (SWP) contractors (Napa
County, Solano County Water Agency, and Yuba City) filed litigation in 2008 against the
California Department of Water Resources (DWR) in Sacramento Superior Court seeking
interpretation of a provision in our SWP water supply contract that we claimed gave us an
"area of origin" preference to water supplies from the SWP. Most of the SWP contractors
south of the Delta intervened in the litigation. Mediated settlement discussion started in
2011 and in May 2012 an Agreement in Principle was reached by the parties. A settlement
agreement and amendments to the SWP water supply contracts for the four Plaintiff SWP
contractors were prepared. To comply with CEQA, DWR circulated a Negative Declaration
for the Settlement and adopted the Negative Declaration as the lead agency. The key
provisions of the Settlement Agreement for Butte County are as follows: A) Paragraph 2.2
provides for a Butte County allocation for use in its service area at much higher levels than
South of Delta allocations which progressively increases to 100% allocation when South of
Delta allocation reaches 60%; B) Paragraph 2.3.1 allows Butte County to lease the unused
portion of its 27,500 acre feet Table A amount to other SWP contractors which was not
previously allowed by DWR; C) Paragraph 2.5 provides, that DWR will help facilitate Butte
County in Table A leases with other SWP contractors; D) Paragraph 2.7 sets out that DWR
will approve leases with Palmdale Water District and the Westside Districts potentially
through 2035. The Settlement Agreement and the right to lease Table A water to Palmdale
Water District and the Westside Districts will produce revenue exceeding $2,000,000 per
year with yearly increases — action requested — 1) REVIEW NEGATIVE DECLARATION
ADOPTED BY DWR AND ADOPT NEGATIVE DECLARATION UNDER CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT AS A RESPONSIBLE AGENCY; 2) AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO
EXECUTE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND RELEASE REGARDING BUTTE COUNTY; AND 3)

Of Chapter 3 of the Butte County Code Related to Certain Development Impact Fees -The
County recently completed a nexus study for various development impact fees with the

fee charged for certain public facility categories, thereby lowering the total fee paid by
citizens; 2) Consolidate fees for certain public facility types and separate fees for others;
and 3) Establish a new fee for a facility type not included in the previous impact fee study.
The existing development impact fee ordinances contain the fee amounts for the facility
type that they pertain to. The ordinances presented for consideration by the Board
reference a resolution that contains a schedule of fee amounts by facility category,thereby
beginning the migration of impact fees to a single impact fee schedule. This resolution is
also presented for consideration by the Board. The staff report provides greater detail on
the updated study, the changes in the impact fee program, and the changes in the fee
amounts. The ordinances and resolution presented do not cover impact fees related to the

RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Administration/DESS)

BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA—OCTOBER 8,2013
10:15 A.M. 5.04* Timed Item -State of California Jail Construction Grant Application and Resolution - Due to
impacts of AB109 the Butte County Jail is at maximum capacity. As a result, the Sheriff has
had to release significant numbers of inmates to avoid overcrowding. To address this
condition the Sheriff's Office, the Chief Administrative Office and County General Services
are requesting approval to apply for up to $40 million in state funding through the Adult
Jail Capacity Expansion Construction Project under the SB 1022 program. Funding will
require the County to contribute a minimum of $4.445 million cash and in-kind match.
Cash match includes impact fees, inmate welfare funds, and criminal justice facility
construction funds. In-kind includes land value and project management. The proposed
project is to construct a standalone facility located adjacent to the existing jail. The new
facility would have 168 medium security beds, 32 maximum security beds, and 56 special
use beds,for a total of 256 beds. In addition to beds, the project includes program spaces
and required housing support space. The Sheriff will repurpose the existing linear jail and
two dormitories, which reduces 198 beds. The net result will be a gain of 58 beds. The
vacated linear jail space and dormitories will provide future flexibility. The configuration of
the space gives it substantial flexibility to be used as programming, recreation, or other
space. Future use of this portion of the facility will be dictated by needs, goals, and
available funding. It is anticipated that operating costs will increase by about $1 million
annually over current operating expenses. Counties throughout the state are applying for
these limited funds, which will be awarded based on the counties' ability to demonstrate
readiness-to-proceed. Proposals are due to the Board of State and Community Corrections
(BSCC) on October 24, 2013 -action requested -

1. Consent Agenda:these are items that are considered routine and are handled by one motion and vote of
the Board. If you wish to discuss any item on the Consent Agenda you can either fill out a speaker card

Board) or, when the Chair asks if there is anything anyone would like to remove from the Consent
Agenda, stand and approach the podium and request the item be removed. The removed items are
discussed at the end of the Regular Agenda.

heard. Items removed from the Consent Agenda are discussed under this section.

hearing are set. This is the section where appeals before the Board are usually discussed. Hearings may
start after the time listed,but will never start before the time listed.

on any matter not listed on the agenda. The Board, by law, cannot take action on any matter not listed
on the agenda,but may respond to statements or questions and provide staff direction.
