exotic pests considered hazardous to agriculture and to the economy of California. Those insects
may include, but are not limited to, Mediterranean Fruit Fly, Oriental Fruit Fly, Melon Fly, Gypsy
Moth, Japanese Beetle, and other invasive exotic pests. The proposed agreement includes
delimitation work associated with the detection of one or more life stages of the above target
pests in the County.The fiscal year(FY)2017-18 agreement is for a maximum amount of$67,498,
with a term of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018— action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT

3.02 Agreement with St. Helena Hospital dba Adventist Health St. Helena, Adventist Health Valleio
St. Helena Hospital dba Adventist Health St. Helena,Adventist Health Vallejo, provides inpatient
psychiatric hospitalization services.The State mandates contracting with managed care hospitals
based on a county's historical utilization. The Butte County Department of Behavioral Health
(BCDBH) began drafting the managed care hospital agreements in March 2017 but needed to
wait for each "host county" (county in which the hospital exists), to negotiate their rates with
the hospital for the new fiscal year. Once negotiated, their contract must be fully executed by
their 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 St. Helena Hospital
dba Adventist Health St. Helena,Adventist Health Vallejo 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 FY 2017-18 and$350,000 in FY 2018-19)—action requested-APPROVE AGREEMENT
AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Behavioral Health)

Department of Behavioral Health's (BCDBH) membership in the California Counties Mental
Health Services Authority (CaIMHSA)Joint Powers Authority (JPA). CaIMHSA is authorized by its

usage consistent with the provisions of the CaIMHSA Participation Agreement and this
memorandum of understanding(MOU)entered into by CaIMHSA and the California Department
of State Hospitals (DSH) on July 1, 2014. It is now requested to amend the MOU between
CaIMHSA and DSH to extend the term through June 30, 2019.The previous MOU expired on June
30, 2016, but the amendment was provided to BCDBH for review in 2017. As directed by
participating counties, CaIMHSA will continue to collectively work in achieving efficiencies as a
single administrative body engaging in a single negotiation of terms and rates for bed utilization,
monitoring billing to assure accuracy and fiscal stability, establishing quality assurance standards
and procedures, review of shared financial analysis, and exploring opportunities and alternatives
for future services. Approval is requested to amend the MOU with CaIMHSA and DSH for the
procurement of State hospital beds.The term of this agreement will be July 1, 2014 through June

3.06 Approval of Board Minutes-Submitted for approval are the minutes for the November 14, 2017
Board of Supervisors regular meeting — action requested - APPROVE BOARD MINUTES FOR
NOVEMBER 14, 2017. (County Administration)
3.07 Resolution for the Continuation of Local Health Emergency Proclamation -On October 18, 2017,

contained in some of the ash of the burned structures. State law requires that the Board of
Supervisors review the need for continuing the local health emergency at least every 14 days.

still exists.Atthis point,the final duration of the emergency has not yet been determined—action
requested -ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration)
3.08 Authorize the Auditor-Controller to Manage Cash Flow in Between County Funds -The County's
Finances are organized in a series of separate funds as required by governmental accounting
standards. As reported in the 1st Quarter, Quarterly Report General Fund cash is trending lower
due to the use of one time revenues received over the past few years on a number of one-time
projects including capital projects, deferred maintenance and the regional radio project.
Additionally the General Fund is owed approximately $450,000 from FEMA and CalOES to
reimburse the County for emergency operations responding to the spillway emergency. Other
County funds have ample cash balances. General Fund cash tends to be low in the fall prior to
the receipt of the first installment of property tax payments and again in the spring prior to the
second installment of property tax payments. Historically the County utilized Tax Revenue
Anticipation Notes(TRAM),a type of borrowing,to manage cash during those low points,though
this hasn't been necessary for a number of years. Given current cash balances it is possible that
the General Fund will be cash deficit at the end of November. The County has available cash in
other funds that can provide for temporary cash flow within the course of the fiscal year. County
Administration,the Auditor-Controller and the Treasurer-Tax Collector recommend the Board of
Supervisors authorize the Auditor-Controller to temporarily transfer cash between funds during
the course of the fiscal year to manage General Fund cash flow—action requested -AUTHORIZE
THE AUDITOR-CONTROLLER TO TEMPORARILY TRANSFER CASH BETWEEN FUNDS DURING THE
FISCAL YEAR TO MANAGE GENERAL FUND CASH FLOW. (County Administration / Auditor-
Controller/Treasurer-Tax Collector)

privately-owned lands in California under the rules of the Forest Practice Act of 1973 and other
duly adopted regulations. CAL FIRE requested the County Board of Supervisors designate a
contact to review applications for one-time exemption applications for the conversion of up to
three acres of forested land to another use such as home site, agricultural, or other use. The

Seal Project-On June 27, 2017, Intermountain Slurry Seal, Inc.of Reno was awarded the Paradise
Pines Slurry Seal contract in the amount of $197,791. This pavement preservation project
included implementation of construction traffic controls, clearing and grubbing, placement of a
type II slurry seal, along with the placement of thermoplastic traffic stripes and traffic markings.
Contract Change Order(CCO) No. 1, in the amount of$92,807.39, provides for an adjustment of
compensation due to changes in work character, partially eliminates contract items, and
modifies the engineer's estimate to reflect the actual quantities of material used during the
construction of the project.The change in work character was caused by staff's failure to notify
the contractor in the bid documents that the slurry seal would be following a freshly applied chip
seal (applied by County forces after the slurry bids had been received).This increased the amount
of slurry material required and increased the labor and equipment costs to apply the slurry seal.
Changes have been made in the department's contracting and bid document quality control
processes to ensure potential contractors are properly notified of any potential change in work
character issues on future projects. The total contract cost, including CCO No. 1 is $290,598.39.

of the Board of Supervisors signed the Notice of Completion and it was recorded — action
requested—1)APPROVE CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN;

Project - On July 26, 2016, Viking Construction Company, Inc. of Rancho Cordova was awarded

highway bridge; removal of the existing bridge; reconstruction of approximately 700 feet of
roadway; installation of metal beam guard rail; and installation of thermoplastic traffic stripes
and reflective pavement markers. Contract Change Order Nos. 1, 2, and 3 were approved by the
Director of Public Works as they were within his approval authority.Total change orders for this
project increased the amount of the contract by$4,873.59 (0.2%of the initial construction cost).
The total contract cost, including all contract change orders is $2,170,187.09. All contract work
has been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications — action requested — 1)
