add additional service hours and to revise the start date of the contract for Fiscal Year (FY) 2012-13.
The term of the agreement was originally "upon date of execution" of the agreement. However,
BCDBH had an emergency need for a psychiatrist who was placed August 12, 2012, which was prior
to the execution date of the contract, August 28, 2012. The term of the agreement will be August 1,
2012 and will terminate on June 30, 2013. The maximum financial obligation under this agreement

23. Contract Change Order No. 5 for the Seismic Retrofit of Ord Ferry Road Bridge Across Sacramento
River - In May 2012 Butte County awarded the seismic retrofit of the Ord Ferry Road Bridge contract
to Golden State Bridge, Inc. in the amount of$9,094,939. Contract Change Order No. 5 compensates
the contractor for various extra work items, adjustments of compensation and increasing contract
items at contract unit prices. Contract Change No. 5 increases the contract amount by $353,479.
Compensation to the contractor will be in accordance with the CalTrans Standard Specifications. The
construction portion of this project is reimbursable through the Federal Highway Bridge Program
(HBP) which provides an 88.53%funding match and Proposition 113 passed in 2006 is supplementing
the remaining 11.47% of the project. Funds for this contract change order are included in the
current Caltrans finance letter as supplemental work.
24. Accept Unanticipated Revenue-Mooretown Rancheria ARRA Funds - On June 19, 2012 Butte County
and the Mooretown Rancheria entered into a Memorandum of Agreement to repair a portion of
Lower Wyandotte Road fronting the Rancheria and casino property. The project was funded by
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds, which the Tribe received through the
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). On September 11, 2012, an amendment was approved by the Board to
expand the work to include all of Lower Wyandotte Road, as well as a portion of Foothill Blvd., which
is approximately 7.4 miles in length. County crews worked throughout September and October to
prepare the roadway, chip seal, and stripe the roads. Of the $509,775 ARRA funds, the Rancheria
spent $311,081 on the paved portion in front of the casino property. The remainder of the ARRA
funds, $198,694, covered a portion of Butte County's chip sealing and striping costs, which totaled
$550,973. A letter of appreciation to the Mooretown Rancheria has been attached for the Board's
review and approval.
25. Harris & Harris Enterprises - The Sheriff's Office intends to contract for services to complete a Jail
Needs Assessment as a first step to state grant funding eligibility for potential renovations and/or
expansion of the Butte County Jail. A Needs Assessment evaluates jail bed space and makes
recommendations to address the need for treatment programs, programming and rehabilitative
space for inmates. The County completed a Request for Proposals back in 2006 and selected Steven
Reader Enterprises, partners with Harris & Harris Enterprises, for a total cost of $85,000. If the
Sheriff's Office sought services from a different contractor,the Sheriff would pay more than $85,000
for a new needs assessment. The Sheriff's Office submitted a sole source request to General Services
that was approved to allow us to again use Harris & Harris Enterprises. Harris & Harris Enterprises
will update the 2006 Jail Needs Assessment to include all new laws enacted since the initial report.
PAGE 5
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES- 1/8/2013
The total cost is $37,500 (department budget utilizing AB109 funding), and the report will be
completed by April 15, 2013. A completed jail needs assessment will allow the Sheriff's Office to
pursue State Jail Construction Funding.
26. Securus Technologies, Inc. -The Sheriff's Office maintains a contract for telephone services for inmate
use within the jail facility through Securus Technologies. The contract is set to expire December 10,
2013. The Sheriff's Office recently completed an RFP for video visitation services and, after reviewing
two viable responses, chose Securus to provide video visitation services. Video visitation will allow
inmates to view and speak with visitors on-line thus reducing the need for friends and family to travel
to the jail. The video visitation system expands jail visiting hours from just weekends to seven days
per week and expands visiting hours each day. Video visitation is less staff intensive than allowing in-
person visitation and more inmates will be able to visit with friends and family. Video visitation
stations will also allow inmates to access commissary ordering, personal information regarding court
dates, release dates and commissary balances, requests for medical visits and within one year
additional inmate services. In collaboration with General Services, it was determined that in order to
simplify inmate services and contract management, the Securus telephone contract should be
amended to include video visitation services. In order to allow Securus time to capture their initial
equipment installation costs, the Sheriff's Office is requesting to extend the telephone services
contract two additional years to coincide with a three-year service agreement for video visitation.
27. Drought Task Force Report - In 2004, Butte County adopted the Drought Preparedness and Mitigation
Plan (Resolution 04-200). A key element of the Plan was the creation of the Drought Task Force (DTF).
The charge of the Drought Task Force is to monitor hydrologic conditions throughout the water year
and report the findings to the Water Commission and the Board of Supervisors biannually, quarterly,
or monthly as needed. Since no state drought emergency declaration exists and local drought
conditions have subsided, the DTF decided to meeting annually. The DTF met on November 15, 2012
to review the hydrologic conditions and drought related issues. The DTF reviewed data on snow-pack,
reservoir levels, stream flow, precipitation, climatic conditions; and groundwater levels. Groundwater
conditions rebounded in 2011 due to favorable hydrologic conditions, but dry conditions in 2012
brought the basin back to 2010 conditions. The DTF discussed the drought declaration issued by the
USDA for Butte County and other counties in July 2012. The DTF decided to hold its meeting annually
in the fall unless circumstances change. The Butte County Water Commission received the DTF status
report at their December 5, 2012 meeting. The DTF Status Report is presented for informational
purposes.
28. Delta Plan Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (Draft PEIR) - The Delta Stewardship
Council (DSC) is charged through the Delta Reform Act of 2009 to develop the Delta Plan. The Delta
Plan is a strategic document that includes legally enforceable policies, strategies and actions within
the Delta to further advance the "coequal goals of providing a more reliable water supply for
California and protecting, restoring and enhancing the Delta ecosystem." The Butte County Board of
Supervisors submitted comments on the Draft EIR in 2011 and on various versions of the draft Delta
Plan. On November 30, 2012 the Delta Stewardship Council released the final Delta Plan and a
Recirculated Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR). The Draft PEIR replaces the
Draft EIR that was released in November 2011. The Draft PEIR states an Area of Known Controversy
as "The Delta Plan's applicability to actions upstream of the Delta, and its impacts on water users
PAGE 6
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES- 1/8/2013
there". Actions contemplated by the Delta Plan may impact Butte County's environment, economy
and ecosystem.The Draft PEIR fails to address groundwater, recreation and socioeconomic impacts to
northern Sacramento Valley. The Department recommends that the Board of Supervisors submit
comments calling for the Delta Plan EIR to address the impacts to Butte County and the region.
Comments on the Draft PEIR are due by January 14, 2013.
29. Butte County Water Advisory Committee - Appointments - In September 2011 the Board of
Supervisors adopted an amended Basin Management Objectives ordinance which is codified as
Chapter 33A of the Butte County Code. Section 33A-4 outlines the appointment process to the Water
Advisory Committee (WAC), which serves in an advisory capacity under the Butte County Water
Commission. Section 33A-4 specifies that the Board shall consider all nominations to the WAC that
reside, own property, or have their principle place of business within the sub-inventory unit (SIU). At-
large members are appointed from each incorporated municipality, as well as one from each
watershed group, one from each of the environmental and agricultural communities, and one from
the Foothill and Mountain inventory units. Members of the WAC serve four year terms in a voluntary
capacity and are open to reappointment for consecutive terms. The Department of Water and
Resource Conservation has received a letter of interest from each of the following individuals
expressing their interest to continue on the WAC for the next four year term: Eugene Massa - Biggs

1301-011 Resolution of the Board of Supervisors Authorizing Gridley Unified School District to Sell Bonds
Directly and Directing the County Auditor-Controller to Maintain Taxes on the Tax Roll - On June
5, 2012, voters in the Gridley Unified School District ("District") approved the issuance of
$2,500,000 in bonds for repair and upgrades to school facilities within the District. The Gridley
Unified School District Board of Trustees ("Trustees") is requesting that the Butte County Board
of Supervisors adopt a resolution allowing the District to issue General Obligation Bonds directly,
without the involvement of the Butte County Board of Supervisors as a conduit issuer, under
Government Code 53506-53509.5. The District did not provide a certified copy of the Trustees
Resolution required for the Butte County Board of Supervisors to take action on the December
11 agenda. There was some confusion and debate about what the Trustees Resolution set forth
regarding the bond issuance and repayment terms so the matter was continued to the January 8,
2013, agenda. A certified copy of the Trustees Resolution dated December 17, 2012, has now
been provided and is attached. The Resolution authorizes the issuance of Current Interest Bonds
in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2,500,000 with a maturity not to exceed thirty
(30)years.

1301-012 Water Resource Management and Protection Project - The Department is proposing to initiate
the first phase of the the Water Resource Management and Protection Project ("Project"). The
management and protection of water resources is contingent upon having adequate baseline
scientific information and analytical tools to assess current conditions and various scenarios.
Over a decade ago, Butte County produced a robust suite of water resource data that accounts
for baseline demand, water resource availability and analysis of changed circumstances. The
materials provided the foundation for water resource management for Butte County. Butte
County was able to assess future water demand and availability to identify economic and
ecologic consequences (e.g., groundwater overdraft, land subsidence, water supply shortages).
However, the current baseline and forecast information are outdated and the ability to assess
future water demands or impacts are insufficient for today's challenges. The lack of adequate
data creates uncertainty in the availability of water resources. Without action to restore Butte
County's water resource management foundation, the County's authority over groundwater
management and water resource sustainability could be in jeopardy. Investing in this Project will
develop the scientific foundation to manage and protect the County's water resources for its
economy, communities and environment. The Department is requesting the Board approve the
initiation of the first phase of the Project which will allow the County to more formally determine
the scope and cost of additional phases and any future budget implications.
