3.01 Agreement with BHC Heritage Oaks Hospital, Inc.for Inpatient Psychiatric Services-BHC Heritage
Oaks Hospital, Inc., provides inpatient psychiatric hospitalization services. The State mandates
contracting with managed care hospitals based on a county's historical utilization. Butte County
Department of Behavioral Health(BCDBH) began drafting the managed care hospital agreements
in March but needed to wait for each "host county" (county in which the hospital exists), to
negotiate its rates with the hospital for the new fiscal year. Once negotiated, the contract must
be fully executed by the respective governing board. The State is notified by the host county of
the contracted rates,and all other counties who contract with the hospital utilize those rates per
the direction of the State. Due to these requirements, agreements with managed care hospitals
are typically approved later in the fiscal year. Approval is requested for an agreement with BHC
Heritage Oaks Hospital, Inc. to provide inpatient psychiatric services for clients referred by
BCDBH. The term of this agreement will be July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019. The maximum
financial obligation under this agreement shall not exceed $700,000($350,000 in fiscal year(FY)
2017-18 and $350,000 in FY 2018-19) — action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AND

requested for a revenue agreement between Shasta County and BCDBH for inpatient psychiatric
services at the BCDBH's PHF for Shasta County residents.The term of this agreement will be July
1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. The maximum revenue under this agreement shall not exceed

Redevelopment Agency ("Successor Agency") is undertaking proceedings to issue Refunding
Bonds in order to attain savings in the Successor Agency's debt service. A reduction in debt
service for the Successor Agency will increase revenue to all impacted taxing entities including
the County. The issuance of these bonds is estimated to generate $19 million in gross savings
over the term of the bonds(or$1.6 million annually),which will be allocated out to all the taxing
entities. To assist with the successful sale of the Refunding Bonds, the Successor Agency is
requesting Butte County subordinate its Redevelopment Area (RDA) pass-through payments, as
was done with the existing debt that is being refinanced. The refunding is estimated to increase
County revenues by $210,000 annually. Staff recommend approval of the Successor Agency's

State will begin issuing licenses to individuals and businesses seeking to engage in various
commercial marijuana activities, such as cultivation, distribution, manufacturing, testing, and
retail sales and deliveries, unless the local jurisdiction where the individual or business is located
has adopted an ordinance that prohibits the proposed commercial activity. At a workshop held
before the Board of Supervisors on August 8, 2017, the Board directed staff to amend both
Chapter 34A of the Butte County Code, which regulates medical marijuana, and Chapter 34C,

to State law; 2) Add definitions to the Definitions sections to define the commercial activities
that the State will begin licensing in 2018; and 3) Add provisions that expressly prohibit all
commercial activities, with the exception of mobile deliveries, so long as the delivery originates

Permit's Conditions of Approval. Consistent with Rule 2.13.3 of the Butte County Williamson Act
Program, the Planning Commission approval is "conditional" pending a Board of Supervisors
determination of the compatibility of the use with the Williamson Act. On September 11, 2017,
the Land Conservation (Williamson)Act Advisory Committee unanimously recommended to the
Board of Supervisors that Use Permit UP17-0006 is compatible with the Williamson Act, subject
to: 1) a covenant of restriction to run with the land to be recorded by the property owner which
specifies that the agricultural worker housing center cannot be sold separately, that the housing

install integration management software, perform systems assessments, and construct the
necessary integration solutions to allow system-to-system transfers of data between the
County's law enforcement agencies,the court,and the District Attorney's new case management

of the new security service — action requested - APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 VOTE
REQUIRED). (Information Systems)
3.20 Agreement for Bird Abatement Services at the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility-Title 27,
Section 20810, of the California Code of Regulations, requires solid waste facility operators to
control or prevent 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, provided seagull eradication services
at the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF) by using raptors to reduce a local
transient but persistent population, numbering from the thousands to just small flocks. The
raptors, trained not to kill or eat seagulls, humanely and effectively displaced the seagulls to
forage from natural habitats, such as rivers or lakes, instead of NRRWF. On September 26, 2017,
the department 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
contract provides for bird abatement services during seagull season, which is typically October
through April. The contract amount is not to exceed $100,000 and the term expires April 30,
2020—action requested -APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public

additional crushing of the Lahar type of rock that had been stockpiled on the site, and was in the
way of future projects.This additional crushing was at a negotiated price per cubic yard that was
lower than the price quoted in Anderson Drag-line, Inc.'s original bid. By including this additional
rock crushing operation in this project, it saved a separate mobilization charge, and generated a
significant amount of reclaimed material that will be utilized for the next phase of landfill cell

3.28 Agreement Amendments to Extend Long-term Lease for Table A Allocation - Butte County has a
State Water Project (SWP)water allocation of 27,500 acre feet per year referred to as the Table
A allocation. Beginning in 2008, the County has been required to pay for this allocation or risk
losing for future demands locally. In order to pay for the costs associated with the Table A water
allocation, and as part of a strategy to achieve fiscal stability, the County entered into two long-
term lease agreements for the portions of its Table A allocation not used locally. On October 22,
2013, the Board of Supervisors approved an eight-year agreement to lease the County's unused
Table A water to the Palmdale Water District (10,000 acre feet) and to the Westside Districts
(14,000 acre feet). Under this agreement, Palmdale Water District and Dudley Ridge Water
District served as the lead agencies for the environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and developed the appropriate documents under CEQA
addressing the transfer programs through 2021 with options for renewal in five-year increments.
The County has determined that it will not require this water locally through 2031 and all parties
have negotiated in good faith two five-year term extensions to the water lease agreements,
extending these agreements through December 2031. The districts will continue to pay an
established fee above the delta rate (the rate charged to the County for the allocation),
escalating at 3.5% annually—action requested -APPROVE AGREEMENT AMENDMENTS (2) AND

Accreditation Board (PHAB) awarded national public health accreditation to the Butte County
Public Health Department.The process of getting accredited took over three years and required
the efforts of not only the dedicated Public Health staff but also the Board of Supervisors, other
County departments, stakeholders, and the public. Some of the benefits of achieving
accreditation include strengthening of internal and external partnerships, encouraging health
departments to prioritize and address long-standing concerns, increasing competitiveness for
funding opportunities, and making departments accountable to external stakeholders. Fewer
than 5% of the health departments eligible to be accredited have achieved it, confirming that

Procedures (DMGP).The purpose of the DMGP is to ensure sufficient guidelines and procedures
exist within the County to serve as a foundation for prudent debt issuance and management.
The Debt Advisory Committee (Committee), established pursuant to the DMGP and comprised
of the Chief Administrative Officer, Treasurer-Tax Collector, Auditor-Controller, and Budget
Director, determines whether proposed financings comply with the requirements of the DMGP.
Over the past several months, while analyzing proposed financings, it was suggested that staff
review the credit rating methodologies used by credit rating agencies to ensure the affordability
guidelines used in the DMGP are current. Additionally, Senate Bill (SB) 1029 was passed in
Page 11
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA-OCTOBER 24,2017
September 2016 to increase state and local agency transparency of public debt. After a thorough

guidelines; 2) be consistent with the new municipal advisor fiduciary responsibility rules; 3)
include additional factors for the County to consider prior to entering into a conduit financing;
4) include an expanded Proposed Financing form required to be presented to the Committee for
each financing request; 5) provide detailed construction and debt related expenditure

Action Team, in serving homeless individuals through the development of housing with

and unincorporated areas of the County — action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Employment and Social Services)
4.08 Lease Agreement with North Valley Mall II, LLC, for Department of Employment and Social
Services - The Butte County Department of Employment and Social Services (DESS) delivers a
wide variety of services from several locations in Butte County including a leased facility located
at 2445 Carmichael Drive in Chico. The lease expires on November 30, 2018 and covers 53,975
square feet with a rate of approximately$1.183673 per square foot for a total monthly payment
of$63,888.74.The facility no longer meets the needs of DESS, and remodeling the facility is not
feasible. Therefore, DESS desires to relocate under a new lease to the North Valley Plaza Mall
located at 765 East Avenue in Chico. Under the terms of the new lease, there will be no rent
charges accrued until September 1, 2018 to allow the County to design necessary tenant
improvements. During the two-month construction phase, rent will increase to awarehouse rate
of$0.85 per square foot. Starting November 1, 2018, the rate will increase to $1.65 per foot for
the 32,300 square foot offices spanning two suites, for a total monthly payment of$53,295. In
addition, upon occupancy by DESS or by November 1, 2018,the lease will be amended to include
an adjustment for common area charges at a rate of 10% of actual audited costs for common
area charges of the entire complex. Although these charges do experience minor fluctuations
from time to time, the current common area charges run approximately $0.10 per square foot
for the department. At $1.75 per foot, which includes the rent and anticipated common area
charges,the total monthly payment will be approximately$56,525.This is a reduction of current
lease payments at 2445 Carmichael. The lease, with the termination date of October 31, 2038,
includes escalation language common to commercial leases in the current market. Staff will
return to the Board for approval of the contract for the construction phase of the relocation at a
later date.The exact cost of tenant improvements is unknown at this point but sufficient funding
has been set aside for this purpose—action requested -APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE
THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (General Services)

4.09 Adoption of Ordinance Regarding Deputy Sheriff's Association CalPERS Cost Share and CalPERS
Amendment - The Board of Supervisors ratified Memorandums of Understanding with the
Deputy Sheriff's Association General (DSA General) and Management & Supervisory (DSA
Management) Units on December 6, 2016. As part of the agreement, DSA General and DSA
Management members agreed to contribute an additional 1% in compensation towards the
employer's share of CalPERS retirement contributions. The parties also agreed to process a PERS
Contract Amendment, which would credit this additional contribution towards the employee's
account. CalPERS requires several steps to be completed before a contract amendment can
become official. County staff has worked with CalPERS and completed several steps in the
process. One of the final steps is for the Board of Supervisors to adopt an ordinance signifying
the contract change prior to the contract amendment going into effect — action requested -
ADOPT ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CHAIR TO SIGN THE AMENDMENT. (Human Resources)
4.10 Deputy Sheriff's Association Side Letter Agreements-In 2015,a 5%Basic POST incentive pay was
added for the classifications of Deputy Sheriff and Sergeant in the Deputy Sheriff's Association
(DSA)-General Unit to address recruitment challenges for these classifications. Approval of side
letters with the DSA-General Unit and DSA-Management Unit are recommended to extend the
5% Basic POST incentive pay to the Investigator I/II, Investigative Lieutenant, Sheriff's Captain
and Sheriff's Lieutenant. Staff recommend these changes to reduce existing compaction
between the Deputy Sheriff and Investigator I/II salaries, increase recruitment and retention of
current and prospective employees, and provide better opportunities for upward mobility. The
County and the DSA have also agreed to move from a calendar Year qualifying period to a rolling
12-month period to measure employee eligibility for Family Medical Leave. Employees will retain
all statutorily required leave entitlement, however, this administrative change will allow the
County to better meet its operational needs — action requested - APPROVE SIDE LETTER
AGREEMENTS AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Human Resources)
4.11 Authorization to Provide Green Waste Mulch to the Public Free of Charge -On August 23, 2016,
the Department of Public Works provided the Board of Supervisors with an update of obstacles
staff faced with recycling green waste and wood waste at the Neal Road Recycling and Waste
Facility(NRRWF). The Board approved a proposed public outreach plan to discontinue recycling
of green waste and wood waste at the NRRWF. Customers continue to deliver green waste and
wood waste to the NRRWF despite efforts to redirect those customers to facilities that can use
the material for a beneficial use, such as compost. Rather than landfill the material, the NRRWF
pays to have the material ground and uses it to cover trash at the end of the day. However, it is
not a good material for that purpose and it is not a good practice to fill the landfill with material
that can be better used for other purposes.With the recent wildfires,there is a need for erosion
control measures in the burned-out areas.The materials can also be used by the public in other
areas. The department requests authorization to make ground-up green waste / wood waste
available to the public free of charge in order to prevent it being landfilled —action requested -
AUTHORIZE THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS TO PROVIDE MULCH GENERATED BY THE
NRRWF TO THE PUBLIC FREE OF CHARGE. (Public Works)
4.12 Resolution Accepting the Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation Strategy-The Sustainable
Agricultural Lands Conservation Strategy (SALC) Strategy is a set of living tools and information
intended to assist farmers, ranchers,and others in voluntarily conserving agricultural lands while
achieving key sustainability goals of carbon sequestration,greenhouse gas emissions reductions,
water conservation, and groundwater recharge. Funding comes from California Climate
Investments (CCI), a statewide program that puts billions of cap-and-trade dollars to work. Using
CCI funds, local governments can evaluate which agricultural lands are most productive and
critically threatened, and develop locally appropriate strategies that ensure the long-term
Page 13
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA-OCTOBER 24,2017
protection of those lands. The SALC Strategy focuses on connecting Butte County farmers and
ranchers to statewide incentive programs for production and sale of carbon offsets due to the
conservation and/or composting of rangelands; or the dry seeding, straw baling, and/or early
drainage of rice fields; as well as incentives for other sustainable practices such as cover crops,
rotational grazing, buffer strips, and irrigation improvements. In developing the Strategy,County
staff identified key findings: Butte County's rangelands sequester large amounts of carbon, and
can sequester much more; composting grazed grasslands in Butte County could substantially
improve the productivity of these lands; and rice cultivation and other agricultural lands and
practices can also contribute to achieving key sustainability goals. SALC work products include a
dedicated website that will continue to be updated — action requested - 1) ACCEPT THE SALC
STRATEGY FOR INFORMATION; AND 2) ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO
SIGN. (Development Services)
5. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS

long comprehensive review of the Butte County Master Fee Schedule by the County, the Board
of Supervisors approved revisions which included increases, decreases, deletions and additions
to fees included in the Master Fee Schedule. The recommendations were approved on June 13,
2017 and fees became effective for non-land use departments 30 days after approval and 60
days for land-use department fees. Five departments (Agricultural Department, Development
Services, Public Health, Treasurer-Tax Collector and Fire) are now recommending additional
adjustments to the current fees which requires a public hearing and approval by the Board of
Supervisors. Staff is also proposing amendments to County Code regarding the fee escalator
language that is currently referenced in multiple locations within Code. The recommendation is
to consolidate this language into one section of Code and repeal the various references—action
requested — 1) ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; and 2) ADOPT
ORDINANCE AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration)
