The purpose of CalMHSA is to administer the statewide Mental Health Services Act Prevention Early Intervention (PEI) projects. CalMHSA acts on behalf of the JPA member counties to develop mental and/or behavioral health services and education programs, obtain funding, contract for services, collect data, make reports, and act as a repository of information and expertise for such programs. The PEI Phase II Sustainability Funding Plan includes an expansion of the services and support to the JPA member counties. The expansion includes additional focus on the following topics: diverse communities (which includes analysis of the public sector), schools, health care and workplace, prevention and reduction of early childhood trauma and postpartum depression, and increasing public awareness of the link between substance use disorders and related mental illness. The department would like to participate in these PEI projects and would benefit from the additional resources provided through CalMHSA. Approval is requested to amend the MOU with CalMHSA to provide administration of the Phase II PEI projects. The purpose of this amendment is to add funding of $25,000 to FY 2016-17.

(County Administration) 3.05Amendment to Contract with Butte County Association of Governments for Federal Representation - Butte County has contracted with The Ferguson Group, L.L.C. (Ferguson) to assist with federal representation in Washington, D.C. for more than a decade. During the same period, the Butte County Association of Governments (BCAG), of which Butte County is a member, has also used Ferguson for its federal representation. Since the two agencies often pursue similar federal funding, each agreed to a single contract with Ferguson beginning in Federal Fiscal Year 2015 to share the cost of federal representation rather than paying for two separate contracts. The contract has been an effective and economical arrangement for both BCAG and the County for the last two years. Approval is requested for an amendment to the contract with BCAG to continue sharing the cost of federal representation by Ferguson. The amendment would extend the term of the contract by two years to September 30, 2018, and increase the not-to-exceed amount of the contract by $135,000. This amount includes $60,000 per year for shared representation, and $7,500 per year for additional work Ferguson will perform for the County in agriculture/flood protection work action requested APPROVE THE CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

The County policy on new roads that are not collector or arterial roads allows for acceptance of these roads into the County Maintained Mileage system subject to an approved funding for the future maintenance of the road and associated facilities through a Board approved Benefit Assessment District. The developer of the Sanford Manor subdivision in northwest Chico has submitted an application/petition to form a zone of benefit within the Butte County Permanent Road Division. The procedure to form a zone of benefit requires a resolution of intent to establish the Butte County Permanent Road Division Zone of Benefit, a public hearing to consider testimony about establishing the Zone of Benefit, and a resolution of formation for the Zone of Benefit.

(Public Works) 3.13Notice of Completion for the Creston Road Overlay Project and Approval of Contract Change Order No. 1 - The Board of Supervisors awarded a contract to S.T. Rhoades Construction, Inc. of Redding on July 26, 2016, for construction of the Creston Road Overlay Project. This contract amount was for $391,970 and included implementation of construction traffic controls, clearing and grubbing, pavement grinding, placement of asphalt concrete roadway surfacing, storm drain facilities, raising survey monument wells frames and covers to grade, and placement of painted traffic stripes and painted traffic markings. All work has now been completed in compliance with the approved plans and specifications. Contract Change Order No. 1 modifies the engineers estimate to reflect the actual quantities of material installed during the construction of the project. A number of bid items came in under the estimated amount, which allowed for a change order reducing the contract in the amount of $26,225.83 action requested 1) APPROVE CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND, 2) ACCEPT THE CONTRACT WORK AS COMPLETE AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works) Page 4 BCBSAO11,2016 UTTE OUNTY OARD OF UPERVISORS GENDA CTOBER 3.14Contract with Dave Myers Bird Abatement Services at the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility Solid waste facility operators are required to control or minimize the propagation of vectors and birds at sanitary landfills. Specifically, enforcement agencies consider seagulls to be vectors, like pigeons or rats, that eat garbage. Seagulls not only potentially spread disease but habituate to surroundings, harass landfill workers and customers, are difficult to eradicate, and are an overall nuisance. Historical practices to minimize seagull populations included the use of streamers, kites, noise makers, and radio controlled planes to spread flocks. However, these practices had poor overall effect in changing seagull behavior patterns. Protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, seagulls cannot be hunted, poisoned or destroyed without a special permit. Over the past four years Dave Myers Bird Abatement Services of Oroville, California has provided seagull dispersal services at the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF). Mr. Myers utilizes raptors that are trained not to kill or eat the seagulls. These raptors train the local transient population of seagulls to relocate and revert back to foraging from natural habitats such as rivers or lakes instead of the NRRWF. On September 7, 2016, the NRRWF solicited quotes from bird abatement contractors utilizing raptors. Dave Myers Bird Abatement Services was the sole respondent to the solicitation. The contractor is licensed and regulated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and permitted to operate in California. The term of the contract is November 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017. The cost of the contract is up to $5,000 per month and does not exceed $35,000 total action requested APPROVE CONTRACT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works) 3.15Sealed Bid Sale of Tax-Defaulted Properties - In accordance with Chapter 7 of Part 6 of Division 1 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3698, the Treasurer-Tax Collector requests approval to offer 16 tax-defaulted properties to adjacent property owners through a Sealed Bid Sale on January 10, 2017, with a re-offer scheduled for March 1, 2017 if no bids are submitted during the initial offering. All 16 parcels have been offered for sale in previous public auctions conducted by the Treasurer-Tax Collector but remain unsold due to their size, location or other conditions. Revenue and Taxation Code Section 3692(c) provides for the sale of such properties to owners of contiguous parcels through a sealed bid process. A low minimum bid has been established for each parcel to attract interest and is based on the current year property tax assessment plus estimated title transfer fees. The prior years' taxes have been covered for all taxing agencies through the Teeter Plan as approved by the Board of Supervisors. The Department will make every effort to notify the current property owners and lien holders of the impending sealed bid sale, providing them with a final opportunity to redeem the defaulted taxes and remove their parcel from the sale. The parcels eligible for the sealed bid sale represent $99,408.22 in outstanding property taxes plus $208,960.43 in penalties, fees and interest charges. Combined, this figure nearly doubles the assessed value of the properties. It is unlikely that a future auction would yield the full amount of taxes and penalties currently due on these properties. The Treasurer-Tax Collector recommends approval of a sealed bid sale in order to return these parcels to current, revenue-generating status action requested APPROVE SALE OF TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTY AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

DWR offered grants through the Counties with Stressed Basins Grant Program to advance sustainable groundwater management. On June 28, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved a grant agreement with DWR for the project entitled, "Evaluation of Restoration and Recharge Potential Within Groundwater Basins of Butte County." The project is to prepare a map of areas conducive to groundwater recharge, evaluate opportunities to recharge portions of the basin, and evaluate the costs and benefits of utilizing surface water to irrigate orchards where it is available. The project is consistent with policies and priorities of Butte County. DWR requested an amendment to the grant agreement to change some language related to Eligible Costs, Labor Compliance, and Travel Reimbursement, due to changes in State law, and also made some grammatical edits in Exhibit A of the agreement. The amount of the grant, which is $249,272, is not changed by the amendment. The term of the grant, which ends March 30, 2018, is also unchanged by the amendment action requested APPROVE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Water and Resource Conservation) 3.17Amendment to Contract with RMC Water and Environment for Interbasin Groundwater Flow Project - The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act of 2014 (SGMA) went into effect on January 1, 2015. SGMA authorizes local public agencies to form groundwater sustainability agencies that will be responsible for implementing sustainable groundwater management through a groundwater sustainability plan. Groundwater sustainability plans define a course to achieve sustainable groundwater management within 20 years of implementation. There are four subbasins in Butte County that are subject to SGMA. Butte County elected to be a groundwater sustainability agency for the subbasins in Butte County. One of the more complex issues is how adjoining subbasins will account for the interaction between their respective subbasins. The subbasins in the Sacramento Valley are interconnected to varying degrees. To address this issue, Butte County received an $85,000 grant award on January 26, 2016, from the Water Foundation program of the Resources Legacy Fund. The grant supports the Interbasin Groundwater Flow Evaluation project. On June 14, 2016, Butte County entered into a contract with RMC Water and Environment to conduct specific tasks associated with the project. As part of the project, an evaluation of calibrated regional models will be conducted. The department is in the process of calibrating the updated Butte Basin Groundwater Model. To complete the calibration, additional data sets are needed. The contract amendment will allow RMC Water and Environment to provide the department with calibration targets and the template for the calibration program necessary to complete calibration of the Butte Basin Groundwater Model. The amendment increases the contract by $14,437, for a total contract amount of $99,437. The term of the contract remains the same action requested APPROVE CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Water and Resource Conservation) Page 6 BCBSAO11,2016 UTTE OUNTY OARD OF UPERVISORS GENDA CTOBER 3.18Resolution to Establish the Groundwater Pumpers Advisory Committee - The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act of 2014 (SGMA) requires local agencies with either land use or water management/water supply authority to develop a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) within medium and high priority subbasins throughout the state. Four subbasins are located partially within the County of Butte and have been designated as either high or medium priority. Many local agencies, such as water and irrigation districts, cities, and other eligible entities have filed to become Groundwater Sustainablity Agencies (GSAs) and are working to develop a governance structure to oversee the development of the GSP. The legislation strives to attain sustainability of the groundwater basins; it does not provide for the inclusion of independent groundwater pumpers. The Groundwater Pumpers Advisory Committee (GPAC) would advise the Board of Supervisors during the development and implementation of the Butte County GSP. The GPAC is supported by the Butte County Farm Bureau and Citizen's Water Watch action requested ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Water and Resource Conservation) 3.19Resolution Recognizing October 2016 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month - In recognition of the important work done by domestic violence programs, it is requested that the Board of Supervisors recognize the month of October 2016 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month and urge all citizens to participate in the scheduled activities and programs sponsored by Catalyst Domestic Violence Services to work towards building healthy relationships and eliminating intimate partner violence action requested ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

County staff held a number of community meetings and met with the City of Gridley over the past two years to discuss the deteriorating pool. As a result of these meetings a consultant was engaged to provide an assessment of the pool including cost projections to either fix or replace the pool. The cost of repairing or replacing the pool to meet basic health, safety and insurance requirements are beyond the financial means of the CSA. The pool has continued to deteriorate, insurance can no longer be secured for the pool, and it is out of compliance with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act. Due to this, the property owners in CSA 34 were recently provided notice that the pool has reached the end of its useful life and will not be reopening next year. The City of Gridley, as well as some area residents, have recently expressed a desire to retain a public pool in the area. Board of Supervisors approval is requested for a letter to the City of Gridley stating that if the City of Gridley is willing to insure the pool or can find adequate insurance for the pool and if the pool can receive clearance from Public Health that the County would reconsider closing the pool action requested APPROVE LETTER AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

Measure L is a local, voter proposed ordinance to permit commercial cannabis activities and repeal local land use restrictions on medical marijuana cultivation in Butte County. The Board of Supervisors recognizes Measure L would be difficult for the County to enforce and will encourage commercial marijuana activities in Butte County. The voter proposed measure would overturn more than six years of work to protect the residents of Butte County from illegal commercial marijuana activities, environmental degradation, and ecological damage to the local watershed, waterways, and wildlife. Large marijuana grows and commercial marijuana activities would burden public safety resources, which are primarily paid for with discretionary County funds. Large-scale marijuana activities disrupt the peaceful enjoyment of private residences in Butte County.
