3.04* Intergovernmental Agency Agreement with Regional Housing Authority of Sutter and Nevada
Counties (Housing Authority) - On July 21, 2015, Butte County and the State Department of Housing
and Community Development (HCD) executed an agreement through the Community Development
Block Grant Program (CDBG) for rehabilitation of single-family housing units in the unincorporated
area of Butte County. The $558,140 grant awarded for housing rehabilitation will allow Butte County
to continue the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program. HCD allows jurisdictions to enter into
agreements with sub-recipients to execute HCD funded activities on the jurisdiction's behalf. Butte
County has contracted with the Housing Authority to administer the County's Housing Rehabilitation
Loan Program since 2007. Staff recommends approving an Intergovernmental Agency Agreement,
expiring December 29, 2017, with the Housing Authority for $112,566 for administration of the
Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program for the CDBG grant – action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT
AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.(County Administration)
3.05* Budget Appropriation for Disaster Recovery Initiative (DRI) Housing Rehabilitation Loans -Butte
County completed grant expenditures for its CDBG DRI grant activities on June 30, 2015, coinciding
with the end of the fiscal year. One of the activities included in the DRI grant was housing
rehabilitation loans. Although construction was completed last fiscal year, final settlement through
escrow occurred in the new fiscal year, and therefore, the final loan balances have only recently
become known. Due to a new accounting process requiring loan balances to be established within
the Program Income (PI) fund, it is necessary to transfer the receivable balance from the CDBG fund
to the PI fund. Staff is now requesting additional appropriations in the amount of $710,383 in the
current fiscal year to cover the transfer of the final four (4) DRI loan receivables - action requested -
APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT. (4/5 vote required) (County Administration)
3.06* Approval of Minutes - action requested – APPROVE SEPTEMBER 29, 2015 MINUTES. (County
Administration)
3.07* Okizu Foundation Request to Waive County Building Permit Fees - The Okizu Foundation, a non-
profit organization, has requested a fee waiver for the building permit for a pavilion structure at the
existing permitted Okizu Camp (Use Permit 98-21). The Okizu Camp provides camping experiences
for kids and their families struggling with childhood cancer. The Camp is located at 445 Zink Road,
Berry Creek, on County Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 062-240-008. The total estimate of County
fees for the building is $3,030.90 (building permit review, inspection and related fees). This fee
estimate does not include any applicable school district or parks and recreation district fees or other
non-County fees required at the time of the building permit. County impact fees are not required
with the proposed building. County Code, Section 1-18 allows the Board of Supervisor to waive fees
under certain circumstances. As stated in the Code: “All or part of any fee specified in this article
may be waived, refunded or transferred to a related application upon order of the Board of
Supervisors, if the applicant is a public entity or non-profit charitable organization or if the Board
finds that it is otherwise in the public interest to do so” - action requested - AUTHORIZE THE
DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TO WAIVE BUILDING PERMIT FEES FOR A PAVILION
STRUCTURE ON APN 062-240-008. (Development Services)

3.08* Agreement for Subscription Services for Citizen Management and Workflow Management Suite-On
February 25, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved the Butte County Communication Strategy for
2014 and 2015 (Strategy). The purpose of the Strategy is to establish Butte County as open,
responsive, and innovative when serving employees, the media, and the public. The Strategy
includes four initiatives designed to coordinate communication efforts countywide in order to better
serve and connect with internal and external audiences. One of the action items in the Strategy is to
implement a system allowing employees and members of the public to request services and report
issues through a mobile application. The County issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a mobile
application and received four responses. Proposals were evaluated and Accela, formerly Public Stuff,
was chosen as the preferred vendor to provide the application. Accela will provide the County with a
citizen engagement and workflow management suite including custom branded smartphone
applications, public-facing web portal, and cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM)
and administrative dashboard. The citizen engagement suite will provide residents with tools to
request services and report non-emergency civic issues or complaints. The term of the agreement for
Subscription Services for Citizen Management and Workflow Management Suite is three years and
the total cost is $33,850 - action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO
SIGN SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND AUDITOR-CONTROLLER. (Development
Services)
3.09* Budget Adjustment - The District Attorney's Office receives certain revenues that are restricted.
During preparation of the FY 2015-16 budget, the District Attorney's Office had not finalized the
intended use of restricted revenue received from the US Treasury Department, so when the
recommended budget was adopted, the department did not include actions related to this revenue.
Since adoption of the budget, an initial expenditure plan for these funds has been finalized, and
Board approval is requested for a budget adjustment to the department's non-operating fund
(District Attorney Treasury Federal Seizure Fund) and the department's operating budget to provide
for the use of $13,400 of prior year restricted revenue. The funds will be used to purchase software
and equipment that will accurately download information from legally seized cellular telephones and
tablet devices. Information from cellular telephones/tablet devices is becoming not only important,
but necessary to complete investigations and successfully prosecute identity theft crimes and child
pornography. Additionally, since the adoption of Proposition 47, cellular telephone information is
vital to establishing felony-level possession-for-sales cases. Without the information generally kept
on these devices, prosecution of these cases would be limited to misdemeanor possession. The
included budget adjustment will transfer the restricted revenue to the department's operating
budget and allow the purchase of the software and related equipment – action requested - APPROVE
BUDGET ADJUSTMENT. (4/5 vote required) (District Attorney)
3.10* Oroville Veterans Memorial Hall Committee - The Oroville Veterans Memorial Hall Committee on
behalf of the Veterans Organizations using the Oroville Veterans Memorial Hall, submit the following
nomination for appointment to serve on the Oroville Veterans Memorial Hall Committee for the
term ending June 30, 2016: Citizen Veteran: Nathan "Sam" Bebout, Delegate – action requested -
APPOINT NOMINEE TO TERM ENDING JUNE 30, 2016.(General Services)
3.11* Surplus and Equipment - Prior to auctioning County assets that are no longer serviceable and no
longer needed, Section 12.3.3 (Vehicles) and Section 12.4 (Capital Assets other than vehicles) of the
Butte County Contracts/Purchasing Policy and Procedure Manual requires the Board of Supervisors
to declare such equipment surplus. Staff recommends that the Board declare the listed item as
surplus and authorize the County Purchasing Agent to auction the following item: HP Laserjet
Printer/Scanner Asset #27335, Serial #CNFN106909 purchased in 2008 – action requested – 1)
DECLARE LISTED CAPITAL ASSET SURPLUS; AND 2) AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASING AGENT TO AUCTION

3.12* Budget Adjustment: Conceptual Design Phase of Sheriff's Hangar for Water and Aircraft - The Sheriff
stores three aircraft and five watercraft at the Oroville airport in two leased structures spanning
16,750 square feet. The structures are no longer serviceable and are no longer adequate in size to
meet the storage needs of the Sheriff. Staff recommends that the Board approve a budget
adjustment of $25,000 from the Sheriff's Federal Asset Seizure Fund to General Services to allow
staff to complete the conceptual design phase of the project to construct a new facility that meets
the needs of the Sheriff's operation. Prior to any construction phase of the project, staff will return
to the Board for appropriations and for the approval of a construction contract – action requested –
1) APPROVE THE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT. (4/5 vote required); 2) APPOINT THE DIRECTOR OF GENERAL
SERVICES, AS THE OFFICER OF THE PROJECT; AND 3) PROVIDE CAPITAL ASSET AUTHORITY FOR THE
PROJECT.(General Services/Sheriff’s Office)
3.13* Revision to Resolution for Employer Paid Member Contributions (EPMC) for Butte County Superior
Court Employees - Prior to 2001, Court employees were employees of Butte County. In 2001, the
State passed the Trial Court Employment Protection and Governance Act, which removed the Court
employees from County service and established the Court as the employer. Today, the Court, not the
County is responsible for negotiations with employee unions, establishing pay rates, providing
benefits and all other employment decisions and actions related to Court employees. The County has
no standing or role in Court employment, with one exception. Court employees remain under the
County's contract with CalPERS for retirement. Changes made to retirement formulas automatically
impact Court employees. However, decisions by the County or vice versa to change the percentage
of EPMC paid, and the subsequent reporting of it, does not affect Court employees. Pursuant to
CalPERS regulations, CalPERS requires that the Governing Board that holds the contract with CalPERS
adopt and transmit a resolution related to an employer's change in the EPMC. Beginning October 1,
2015, the Court will change the EPMC for its employees that are defined as "classic members" by the
Public Employment Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) from 3.5% to 0.0%. The approved Board of Judges
Resolution #2015004 that adopts this change is included in the staff report as Attachment A -action
requested -ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Human Resources)
3.14* Surplus Equipment - Storage Area Network-The Information Systems Department requests the
Board of Supervisors declare surplus the four assets listed in the staff report which were components
of the old Storage Area Network (SAN). The first SAN component, originally purchased in 2007, was
upgraded and expanded over time to meet the County's growing need for data storage. These units
were replaced last fiscal year with larger, more powerful models that are better suited in support of
the County's data storage needs. Asset No. 27244 was purchased in 2007 for $77,327.25; Asset No.
27359 was purchased in 2007 for $96,417.75; Asset No. 27492 was purchased in 2010 for
$36,489.81; and Asset No. 27493 was purchased in 2010 for $36,489.80. These components have
outlived their useful life and, if approved, will be donated to Computers for Classrooms – action
requested – 1) DECLARE CAPITAL ASSET ITEMS SURPLUS TO THE NEEDS OF THE COUNTY; AND 2)
DIRECT THE ITEMS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE CAPITAL ASSET INVENTORY LIST; AND 3) AUTHORIZE
DONATION TO COMPUTERS FOR CLASSROOMS. (Information Systems)

3.15* Medi-Cal Managed Care Program Participating Physician Agreement with Anthem Blue Cross for
Public Health Clinics – Approval is requested of a Medi-Cal Managed Care Program Participating
Physician Agreement with Anthem Blue Cross for Public Health Clinics. Currently, Public Health
Clinics have the ability to provide reproductive health services to the Managed Medi-Cal population
without being a contracted provider. In order to continue to provide additional services, such as
Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Treatment, Tuberculosis Test, Pre-Employment Physicals, etc.,
Public Health must be a contracted provider. Public Health currently provides these services but
must obtain prior authorization for each client which can slow down the ability to provide services in
a timely fashion. Once the department is a contracted provider, most services will not require prior
authorization from Anthem Blue Cross. Entering into this agreement will also give the department
the opportunity to expand services in the future to assist in meeting the needs of Butte County
citizens – action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN SUBJECT
TO REVIEW BY COUNTY COUNSEL AND AUDITOR-CONTROLLER.(Public Health)
3.16* 2015 California Flood Preparedness Week - October 19 - 24, 2015 - Butte County has experienced at
least 18 major flood events since 1861. Approximately 26% of our population live in areas that could
be affected by a 100-year or 500-year flood event. Those same areas have over $3.7 billion in assets
and have a crop value of over $228 million. It is important for Butte County citizens to know their
flood risk and take appropriate steps to protect themselves and their property. The Department of
Water Resources (DWR) recognizes October 19-24, 2015 as Flood Preparedness Week and
encourages residents to Be Aware, Be Prepared, and Take Action. The Public Works Department
recently began receiving calls and requests for information on how to prepare for the upcoming
winter season. The reason for a number of the calls is the media attention to the high probability of
a strong El Nino this year. Public Works staff, in cooperation with the Office of Emergency
Management, developed flood preparedness information for the public. Flood preparedness
information will be posted to the County website and other outlets as a part of the County's Flood
Preparedness Week activities. The Public Works Department recommends the Board of Supervisors
adopt the Resolution declaring October 19-24, 2015 Flood Preparedness Week – action requested -
ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)
3.17* Resolution Authorizing the Director of Public Works to Execute Cooperative Work Agreements-
When a local agency has not completely expended federal and/or state funds prior to the date when
the funding is programmed to lapse, the agency may apply for a one-time Cooperative Work
Agreement (CWA) to extend the time frame that the funding is eligible for reimbursement. This must
be done prior to the deadline set by the State Department of Finance (DOF). If local agencies do not
apply for a CWA, they are then responsible for submitting their remaining invoices on time or using
their own funds to cover the remaining costs once the funds have lapsed. It may also be the local
agency's responsibility to reimburse any funding already expended, should the project no longer be
pursued. At this time, the DOF is conducting Cycle 13 of the CWA process for acceptance of
extension requests prior to November 6, 2015. Two Butte County projects are listed with funding
scheduled to lapse on June 30, 2016. Both of these projects, the Bridge Replacement Project on E.
Rio Bonito Road at Sutter Butte Canal, BRLS-5912(093) and the Bridge Replacement Project on E. Rio
Bonito Road at Hamilton Slough, BRLS-5912(091), have been delayed. The department has prepared
the necessary CWA submittal required to demonstrate to the DOF that there is critical need to
extend the appropriation periods. Upon approval of the CWA, the department is in a position to
complete the necessary work phase for both the Bridge Replacement projects within the extension
period. The resolution approves the CWA application and authorizes the Director of Public Works to
sign on behalf of the Board of Supervisors – action requested - ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)

3.18* Forest Advisory Committee Appointments for Alternate Members -The Board of Supervisors
established the Forest Advisory Committee (FAC) to facilitate public involvement and assist the
County in its quest to meet the guiding principles of the Butte County General Plan 2030 as it
pertains to utilization and management of public lands. The FAC is comprised of 5 public members
and 5 alternates representing the following areas of interest: 1) Agriculture/Timber Management; 2)
Recreation–Motorized; 3) Recreation–Non-Motorized; 4) Environmental and Watershed

appointment/letters of interest from the following individuals who have also attended monthly FAC
meetings: Lindsay Wood and Nick Repanich. Ms. Wood works for the Butte Environmental Counsel
as their watershed expert, and Mr. Repanich has been active in the areas of motorized and non-
motorized recreation for many years, including more than eight years association with Friends of the
High Lakes. At its meeting of September 28, 2015, the FAC voted unanimously to submit their names

ALTERNATE FOR WATERSHED/ENVIRONMENT (TERM TO END DECEMBER 31, 2016) AND NICK
REPANICH AS ALTERNATE FOR MOTORIZED RECREATION (TERM TO END DECEMBER 31, 2018).
(Public Works)
3.19* Sheriff's Annual Inmate Welfare Fund Report- Per Penal Code Section 4025(e) the Sheriff shall report
annually on Inmate Welfare Fund expenditures. In FY 2014-15, $368,252 was expended to benefit
the inmates of the Butte County Jail. The Inmate Welfare Fund purchases many items and services
to benefit inmates thus providing items or services that inmates may not otherwise receive. The
fund augments General Fund expenditures for basic operation of the jail. A register report listing the
itemized purchases/expenditures is included in the staff report – action requested - ACCEPT THE
ANNUAL INMATE WELFARE FUND EXPENDITURE REPORT.(Sheriff)
3.20* U.S.Department of Justice -Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force -The Butte County
Sheriff's Office, Butte Interagency Narcotic Task Force (BINTF), applied to the U.S. Department of
Justice (DOJ) for funds from the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) for an
overtime agreement. The funds are specifically to be used for overtime and are limited to cases that
have been designated by DOJ as OCDETF investigation cases. The Sheriff's BINTF unit was originally
approved for $5,000. The agreement period is April 1, 2015 through Sept. 30, 2015. As funds are
expended, and if the specific case is active, the Sheriff's Office can request additional funds. The DOJ

5.01* 9:30 a.m. - Public Hearing - Consideration of a Resolution to be a Groundwater Sustainability Agency
The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) went into effect on January 1, 2015. One of
the near-term actions is to establish one or more Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSA) to take
responsibility for developing and implementing a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (Plan) for the four
sub-basins in Butte County. A GSA can be formed by a single local public agency or a combination of
agencies. Local public agencies eligible to be a GSA must have either water supply, water
management, or land use responsibilities. Counties are presumed to be the GSA for areas that do not
have any other local agency. Local public agencies intending to be a GSA for all, or a portion, of a
basin must notify the Department of Water Resources (DWR) by June 30, 2017. If a GSA is not
formed, the State will intervene, impose fees and assume management of the basin. As early as
notified DWR of their election to be a GSA.
September 1, 2015, local public agencies in Butte County
Once a local agency elects to be a GSA, a 90-day period begins for other local public agencies in the
sub-basin to decide whether to be a GSA. If no other GSA is formed in the sub-basin area, the GSA
will be presumed the exclusive GSA for that portion of the sub-basin (Water Code §10723.8(b)). On
September 2, 2015, the Butte County Water Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the
Butte County Board of Supervisors elect to be a GSA for all portions of Butte County that overlie the
Vina, East Butte, West Butte and North Yuba sub-basins pursuant to Water Code Section 10723 -
