GENERAL 3.14* The Hignell Companies - On February 14, 2012, the Board approved Agreement NF014
SERVICES with the Hignell Companies for property management services to begin March 1, 2012, at
the Southside Oroville Community Center (SOCC). Under the terms of the agreement, the
County is responsible for payment of PG&E charges until June 1, 2012, at which time, the
charges would be paid by the Hignell Companies. Although it was anticipated that all
portions of the SOCC could be immediately rented for special events, the facility suffered
from deferred maintenance and the kitchen was not able to meet environmental health
standards. The condition of the facility required the Hignell Companies to spend over
$5,000 in unanticipated maintenance costs and shift management's focus to managing
cleanup efforts instead of marketing the SOCC. The result of providing these
unanticipated services has been increased costs and insufficient marketing time.
Subsequently, the Hignell Companies launched a professional SOCC website and initial
discussions with County Economic Development staff have started now that the facility is
ready for use. Staff recommends that in exchange for the increased services not included
in the original contract, that the Board approve payment of the PG&E bills by the County
until February 28, 2013, with an estimated cost of approximately $24,000. Funding for the
amendment is contained within the General Services approved FY 2012-13 operating

the Assessor's Office, $12,400 from the Agriculture Commissioner's Office and $17,000
from the Public Health Department. The balance of $9,200 consists of existing
appropriations in General Services due to savings from the remodel of 196 Memorial
Way, which came in under budget. No additional appropriation is necessary -action
requested -APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 vote required); AND APPOINT THE
GENERAL SERVICES DIRECTOR AS OFFICER OF THE PROJECT.

Statement No. 54 - It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt the Fund
Balance Policy which defines the new fund balance categories in accordance with GASB 54.
These changes are intended to enhance how fund balance information is reported and to
improve its usefulness by establishing new fund balance classifications that are easier for
users to understand and apply. The new standard does not change the actual amount of
fund balance reported and does not change the County's day-to-day accounting. The policy
has been reviewed by the Finance Work Team and all department heads. The Auditor-
Controller believes this Policy meets the requirements of GASB 54 and helps the County
maintain a stronger fiscal position to weather negative economic trends, while preserving
flexibility to make adjustments in funding for approved programs in connection with the

Services)
10:15 A.M. 5.02* Timed Item -Williamson Act ProEram Enforcement - LCA11-0007 (APN 026-250-020) -This
item consists of the Board's consideration of partial non-renewal of the George R. Chaffin
(1968) Land Conservation (Williamson) Act contract. Staff and the Williamson Act Advisory
Committee recommend that the County initiate non-renewal of this contract for APN 026-
250-020 under Rule 8.D of the County's Williamson Act program, which provides for the
Board of Supervisors to file a Notice of Non-Renewal after consideration of the
recommendation of the Williamson Act Advisory Committee. The subject parcel is located
on Sunnybrook Lane 0.6 miles east of Lone Tree Road, approximately 1 mile south of the
City of Oroville. On June 6, 2011 the Committee recommended non-renewal of the subject
parcel to the Board. The recommendation is based on the 1991 sale of the parcel, which
does not meet the minimum parcel size requirements of the Williamson Act contract.
Under the Rule 7.D of the County's program, such sales trigger the filing of a Notice of
Non-Renewal. This action would begin an eight-year wind-down of the contract for this
parcel, which would exit the Williamson Act program in 2020 -action requested -
DETERMINE THAT APN 026-250-020 IS OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE COUNTY'S
WILLIAMSON ACT PROGRAM, BASED ON THE FINDINGS DESCRIBED IN THE STAFF REPORT;
AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN THE NOTICE OF PARTIAL NON-RENEWAL.
