3.01 Disaster Relief Resolution Regarding Assessed Value - Section 170 of the Revenue and Taxation
Code provides that an application for reassessment may be filed with the Assessor for property
damaged or destroyed by calamity or disaster. Butte County has experienced a significant
number of Governor-declared disasters recently. As many of these events have occurred in the
more rural areas of the county,there is some difficulty in reaching property owners who may be
entitled to tax relief and providing them with applications for reassessment. In light of the
magnitude of these disasters, the Assessor is looking to assist in the recovery efforts and ease
the burden on the taxpayer in this time of distress. Therefore, pursuant to section 170(1) of the
Revenue and Taxation Code and Section 21-84 of Butte County Code, the Assessor is requesting
approval from the Board of Supervisors to reassess property which has suffered damage due to
the Wall Fire, Ponderosa Fire, Cherokee Fire, and LaPorte Fire without an application — action
requested -ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Assessor)
3.02 Agreement with Sutter Valley Hospitals dba Sutter Center for Psychiatry-Sutter Valley Hospitals
dba Sutter Center for Psychiatry 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,
contracts 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 this process, agreements with managed care
hospitals are typically approved later in the fiscal year. Approval is requested for an agreement
with Sutter Valley Hospitals dba Sutter Center for Psychiatry 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-

and/or emotional disorders that result in the need for 24-hour supervision in conjunction with
intensive mental health services. Approval is requested to amend the agreement with VTC to
provide additional mental health services to Butte County children who meet the standards of
medical necessity. The term of this agreement will remain July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018,

reaffirmed and ratified by the Board of Supervisors on October 10, 2017. The local disaster
proclamation enables the County to obtain State and federal funding to help with the recovery.
The local emergency resulting from conditions of the Cherokee and La Porte Fires is still in effect
as cleanup of the hazardous debris has not yet been completed and a local health emergency is
in effect. State law requires that the Board of Supervisors review the need for continuing the
local emergency every 30 days. At this point, the final duration of the emergency has not yet
been determined — action requested — 1) CONFIRM THE NEED FOR CONTINUING THE

Plan Check Services-The proposed amendments to the agreement with Interwest Consultation
Group and the agreement with TRB and Associates for plan check services provide ongoing
building permit application processing, building plan check, and building inspection services as
needed by the Butte County Department of Development Services. Contracting building permit
services allows the department to continue providing timely service to the public when
department resources are unavailable because of high demand for building-related permits. On
average,the contract services are used only when the estimated processing time for plan review
exceeds three weeks.Additionally,the agreements allow the department the option to contract
for permit and inspection services during an emergency or disaster recovery. The department
determined contract services are a key element in providing timely service to the public and are

Supervisors awarded two contracts to local firms from Request for Proposals to provide janitorial

minimum wage increase. The contract to Clean King also includes changes to Behavioral Health

allocation amount, as services provided by the City of Chico will benefit the entire County of

4.05 Craig Access Road Development Discussion -Craig Access Road, a State-owned and maintained
road located northwest of Lumpkin Road near Lake Oroville, is a means to access approximately
214 Assessor Parcel Numbers.Some of these parcels have been issued Certificates of Compliance
conditionally allowing them to develop with single family residences.The issuance of Certificates
of Compliance, in all but one case, requires written approval from the California Department of
Water Resources (DWR) granting permission to use Craig Access Road. Over the Years, DWR
approval has taken many forms,such as letters,deeds,or permits.The current form of the permit
used by DWR indicates the State shall not be responsible for maintenance of the road and the
permission may not be used to enable or assist permittees in subdividing the parcels. Based on
recent discussions with DWR, there may be changes to the State process for issuing and
transferring access permits, and allowing existing permits to stay in place.The condition of Craig
Access Road has varied over the Years. During last year's rainy season, staff was made aware of
the inability for emergency vehicles to access properties along this road due to storm damage.
With this recent information, staff is prepared to present an Interim Urgency Ordinance to the
Board of Supervisors at the next available meeting regarding parcels affected by Craig Access
Road. An Interim Urgency Ordinance would prohibit issuance of permits and project approvals
for new development. Such approvals include but are not limited to Certificates of Compliance,
building permits,well permits and other permits in the Craig Access Road area. While the Interim
Urgency Ordinance is in place, staff will evaluate the current conditions, health and safety
concerns, and next steps for parcels in the area. Additional information on the Interim Urgency
Ordinance will be presented at the next Board Meeting — action requested - DIRECT STAFF TO

5.02 9:40 am - Consideration of a Negative Declaration for the Continuation of Redirected Contract
Pacific Gas and Electric Company Water from the Miocene Canal Through State Water Project
Facilities-California Water Service Company, Oroville (CWS) currently purchases a portion of its
water supply from the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). Historically, this water flowed
from the West Branch of the Feather River to the Miocene Canal and was ultimately delivered to
the CWS treatment plant on the Thermalito Powers Canal. This conveyance system produced
turbid and warm water, which was costly to treat into drinking water. CWS also purchased a
portion of its water supply from Butte County's Table A allocation from Lake Oroville and blended
this water with the PG&E-purchased water to improve water quality before it was treated. As a
State Water Project (SWP) Contractor, the County is eligible to convey non-project water
pursuant to Article 55 of their water supply contract (WSC) with the State Department of Water
Resources (DWR). In 2014, the County entered into a letter agreement with the DWR to allow
up to 3,000 acre feet of the PG&E purchased water to be conveyed through the SWP facilities on
an annual basis as a pilot program which sunsets on December 31, 2017. The current letter
agreement allows the water to be metered into Lake Oroville at PG&E's Lime Saddle Power Plant
and then metered out of the reservoir at the current out-take facilities located at the Thermalito
Powers Canal. The pilot project was reviewed under CEQA and Butte County Resolution No. 14-
079, approving the Negative Declaration.The pilot program was a success and all parties would
like to continue the program for ten years with an option to renew for ten additional years. An
environmental review was completed for the extension and resulted in a Negative Declaration
determination. The department recommends the Board approve a resolution approving the
Negative Declaration, which evaluates extending the program through December 2027—action
