3.01 Resolution Ratifying Local Disaster Proclamation and Requesting Gubernatorial Proclamation—Paul
Hahn,the Chief Administrative Officer, declared a local emergency on February 13, 2017,due to the
possibility of catastrophic flash flooding from large amounts of water flowing over, and causing
erosion below, the auxiliary spillway in use at the Oroville Dam. Due to the high level of water in
Lake Oroville, in conjunction with the damage to the primary spillway that reduced the amount of
water released beginning February 7th,the auxiliary spillway was activated. The risk from flooding
required an Immediate Evacuation Order for the City of Oroville and all low lying areas around the
Feather River including Biggs and Gridley. The evacuation of tens of thousands of Butte County
residents required mass sheltering in areas north and east of Oroville, road closures on state
highways and local roads, and support from cooperating agencies at the federal, state and local
level. In order to obtain State and Federal dollars to help with the repairs, a local emergency must
be declared. In accordance with the California Emergency Services Act Section 8630(b) the
governing body must ratify the declared emergency within seven (7) days for it to remain in effect
— action requested — ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County
Administration)

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES-FEBRUARY 17,2017
3.02 Resolution Delegating Authority to the CAO to Develop and Implement Payroll Processes Related to
the Spillway Event - The evacuation of the Oroville area, Biggs and Gridley February 12th-14th
necessitated the closure of County Offices in each of these communities. During the evacuation
some employees were asked to report for duty in other parts of the County, some were part of the
Emergency Response Center and some were unable to work due to the closure of County facilities.
Butte County places the safety of constituents and employees as the first priority and employees
who were prohibited from serving during the evacuation should not be financially burdened. It is
requested that the Board of Supervisors delegate authority to the Chief Administrative Officer, in
consultation with the Director of Human Resources, to develop, implement and report back to the
Board of Supervisors on the processes and payroll rules used to appropriately compensate
employees who were unable to work in order to comply with the evacuation order — action
requested —ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration /
Human Resources)
