- The Williamson Act Advisory Committee recommends the Board of Supervisors consider
County-initiated nonrenewal of five parcels from the Williamson Act (Act) consistent with
Government Code Section 51245, due to the noncompliance of these parcels with the County's
Williamson Act program. The subject parcels have been sold separately out of the applicable
Williamson Act contracts and no longer comply with minimum parcel size requirements for
enrollment. The Williamson Act Advisory Committee reviewed one of the parcels on March 2,
2015 and the remaining parcels on March 7, 2016 and recommends County-initiated nonrenewal
of all of the parcels. Each property owner has been notified of their right to make a written
protest of this action. To date, no protests have been received. The nonrenewal will become
effective January 1, 2017 if approved by the Board of Supervisors. The property taxes on the
parcels will increase incrementally over the following eight years until they are normalized and
the properties exit the Act in 2025. The parcels will remain fully encumbered by land-use
limitations under the Williamson Act until that time. The five subject parcels are: APN 041-210-

eligible for enrollment based on parcel size, General Plan designation and zoning, or both. The
Stemple contract incorporates new language recommended by the Williamson Act Advisory
Committee, which will be applied to all future Williamson Act contracts. The updated language
limits the ability of the owner to separately sell, lease, finance, or recognize underlying parcels
different than those identified in the contract legal description. This language was recommended
by the Williamson Act Advisory Committee in order to limit the separate sale of substandard
parcels out of Williamson Act contracts. The updated language also allows the County to charge
for enforcement efforts in instances of breach of contract. The Williamson Act Advisory
Committee reviewed LCA15-0003 (Stemple) on November 9, 2015 and LCA16-0002 (Farmland
Reserve, Inc.) on November 7, 2016, and recommends enrollment of the subject property as

3.30Authorization of an Application for a Clean Water State Revolving Funds Grant for the Stirling
City Sewer System, CSA 82 - County Service Area (CSA) 82 - Stirling City Sewer - owns and
operates the sanitary sewage system for 94 parcels in the community of Stirling City. The original
system was constructed in the 1930s by Sierra Pacific Industries when Stirling City was a company
town supporting the logging activities in the region. The CSA was formed in 1981 when the
Stirling City Sewer Maintenance District was dissolved. Over the years, the system had numerous
problems due to its age and lack of resources to make significant improvements to the system.
Recently, the Department of Public Works researched outside grant sources to fund needed
improvements to the system. In September of 2014, the Board authorized a loan to CSA 82 to
conduct an Income Survey of the residents in the CSA to broaden the ability to apply for funding
from sources that support disadvantaged communities. One such program is through the
California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). The program is the Clean Water State
Revolving Fund (SRF) Program which can pay for projects for planning, design, and construction.
The SWRCB recommended the County apply for a Planning and Design Grant which, based on
the results of the Income Survey, would allow the County to apply for a 100% grant. This
$200,000 grant, if approved by the SRF, will fund a detailed analysis of the system, perform any
necessary environmental review, provide for design of the project improvements and determine
the preferred way to fund the construction of those improvements. Once the project
environmental review and design is complete, the County will then apply for construction
funding from the SRF program. To submit the application, the Board must adopt a resolution
authorizing the application and designating an "Authorized Representative" to process the
application and associated other documents action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND

3.32Resolutions Authorizing Use of County Rule 20A Underground Utility Credits for Town of Paradise
Underground Utility Districts - In 1968, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) established the
Rule 20A Utility Undergrounding program in response to the California Public Utilities
Commission's mandate for utility-funded underground conversion to help communities convert
heavy concentrations of existing overhead utilities, particularly along arterials and in commercial
areas in urban areas, to underground facilities. PG&E records indicate Butte County's current
allocation credit balance is approximately $10,000,000. The County, in cooperation with the
cities and town, established the Butte County Rule 20A Underground Conversion Program to
utilize the balance of the County's uncommitted credits in the cities and town because the
County has limited urban areas in which to use the credits. The Town of Paradise has requested
that the County authorize $1,400,000 in credits be transferred for two underground projects in
the Town limits. The projects are as follows: 1) Underground District 16-1 Skyway, and 2)

Sheriff's request to purchase a Jail Management Software System from Securus. The Securus
system allows the Sheriff's Office to properly manage inmates, from booking to release, and will
greatly enhance scheduling by automating the inmate tracking system thus reducing staff time
involved with paper tracking. The system has been in use since implementation and is working
satisfactorily. The proposed contract amendment extends the existing contract, for the initial
system purchase, an additional five years specifically for system maintenance. Securus has not
increased the cost of system maintenance since the inception of the contract, agreeing to
$55,200 annually. The five-year on-going system maintenance cost is $276,000 increasing the
total for the eight-year term of the contract to $895,348 action requested - APPROVE
CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Sheriff-Coroner)
3.34Amendment to Agreement with RT Lawrence Corporation - In 2012, the Treasurer-Tax Collector

payments directly into Megabyte, provide a direct image retrieval link in Megabyte, generate
electronic Check 21 files to be transmitted directly to the County's bank, look up and validate
account information, and more. In June of 2013, General Services approved a ten-year
standardization with RT Lawrence Corporation. The Treasurer-Tax Collector now wishes to
amend the annual support agreement to provide ongoing hardware and software support for
the RT Lawrence Remittance Processing Solution for an additional three-year period. As part of
the agreement, RT Lawrence Corporation will provide technical software support to the
Treasurer-Tax Collector staff via telephone and remote access and will assist with resolving any
hardware support problems that arise. Approval is requested for an amendment that will extend
the terms of the contract through October 22, 2019. The total not-to-exceed price would
increase from $17,386 to $38,042 action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT

3.35Franchise Tax Board Court-Ordered Debt Contract - The Treasurer-Tax Collector Department is
renewing its contract with the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) Court-Ordered Debt (COD) Program.
When the Central Collections Division has exhausted all available avenues of collection and
deems a debt "uncollectible," the FTB-COD Program takes additional measures to pursue
seriously delinquent, unpaid court-ordered fines, forfeitures, and penalties. The FTB charges an
administrative fee of 15% of the amount successfully collected and returns the balance to the
County. The County recovers the administrative fee through the Comprehensive Fine Program.
Although the contract does not require Board approval, the FTB requires the County submit a
resolution, order, motion, or ordinance approved by the local governing body to enter into the
contract. A minute order from the Clerk of the Board will meet the requirement action
requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT TO BE SIGNED BY THE GENERAL SERVICES DIRECTOR OR
DESIGNEE, DOCUMENTED BY A MINUTE ORDER. (Treasurer-Tax Collector)

3.38Resolution in Support of County Law Librarians' Request for State Funding - County law libraries
are an important legal resource for self-represented litigants in California. County law libraries
make legal material and trained staff available to all citizens. This is particularly important to the
80% of litigants in matters of eviction, foreclosure, child custody and support proceedings, and
debt collection cases that are without benefit of paid counsel. County law libraries are funded
almost exclusively from civil court filing fees. Fee waivers and exemptions, a reduction in the
number of court filings, alternative dispute resolution methods, and other factors have
negatively impacted funding for county law libraries. Funding for county law libraries has
decreased to a point nearly 40% below the amount received in 2009. The Council of California
County Law Librarians has requested a one-time budget allocation in the Governor's proposed
budget to restore funding to the 2009 level. Approval is requested of a Resolution in support of
the County Law Librarians' request to restore funding in the Governor's 2017 Proposed Budget
to the 2009 level for one year action requested - APPROVE RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE

4.02Update of Current Budget and Legislative Issues by the Chief Administrative Officer
A.California Proposition 64 Update - California Proposition 64, the statewide measure to
legalize adult use of recreational marijuana, was passed by voters in the General Election
on November 8, 2016. Three major aspects of the law provide for some local control: 1)
recreational growth and use, 2) commercial recreational marijuana activities, and 3)
taxation. It is now legal in California for adults age 21 and older to possess and use
marijuana for recreational purposes and to grow up to 6 marijuana plants and possess
the marijuana from those plants for personal recreational use, with local jurisdictions
retaining the ability to reasonably regulate, but not outright prohibit, personal grows. The
measure includes regulation for commercial recreational marijuana activities including
cultivation, distribution, transportation, storage, manufacturing, processing, and sales,
which are consistent with those established by the Medical Marijuana Regulatory Safety
Act (MMRSA), and subject to local restrictions or prohibition. The Board of Supervisors
may propose a local tax for commercial activities allowed within the unincorporated area
of Butte County, though all taxes are subject to voter approval. Based on Board of
Supervisors direction, staff can bring an ordinance regulating personal cultivation to the
Board for consideration in early 2017 and an ordinance regulating commercial activities
to the Board for consideration prior to the statewide regulations taking effect in 2018

5.0310:00 am - PowerButte Solar Overlay Zone Project Amendment - Removal of Solar Overlay Zone,
Replacement with PowerButte Guide - The Department of Development Services is undertaking
a grant-funded project pertaining to the future of utility-scale solar energy facilities in
unincorporated Butte County. The original purpose of this project was to establish a community-
based vision for solar energy generation in Butte County, identify appropriate locations for
utility-scale solar energy facilities, and to identify locations where utility-scale solar would not be
appropriate. County regulations were proposed to be amended to streamline the permitting
process for solar facilities in suitable locations. This project has been referred to as the
PowerButte: Solar Overlay Zone project. The PowerButte: Solar Overlay Zone project would have
involved amending the Zoning Ordinance and Map to include an overlay zone, related
development standards, and developing a permit process that was to potentially permit the
approval of utility-scale solar projects located within the Overlay Zone through an administrative
permit, as well as through minor and conditional use permits. During this process, it was
voiced by the agricultural community regarding the potential negative impacts to grazing lands
posed by the Solar Overlay Zone. This amendment will remove the Solar Overlay Zone approach
and replace it with the development of the PowerButte Guide to Utility Scale Solar in Butte
County. New recommendations to the Board of Supervisors, from the Planning Commission,
have been set forth to address the stated concerns and to support the new approach action
requested 1) DIRECT STAFF TO AMEND THE PROJECT AND GRANT WORK PROGRAM TO
REMOVE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SOLAR OVERLAY ZONE AND RELATED AMENDMENTS TO THE
ZONING ORDINANCE, ZONING MAP, INCLUDING PERMIT PROCESSES, AND DEVELOPMENT
