16. Fixed Asset Purchase - Public Works maintains approximately 14,000 roadway signs in Butte County.
During the winter months, Public Works focuses heavily on repairing damaged signs and replacing old
signs. It is essential that road signs are replaced in a timely manner in order to improve roadway
safety, minimize liability, and prevent traffic accidents.The County is also required to meet Federal and
State mandates for minimum sign reflectivity and font size as early as the year 2015. Recently, the
traffic sign cutter, a machine which is an essential component for making signs, has been
malfunctioning. Public Works is unable to find a rental machine.This unique piece of equipment, which
cuts the vinyl sign materials for road signs, can only be repaired at authorized dealers, with the closest
being in southern California. With sign-making season in full-swing, Public Works is unable to await a
lengthy repair that may or may not be feasible on a 6 year old machine. Public Works purchased a
Vactor Truck for $313,684 in December 2011, which was $36,000 less than the budgeted amount.
Public Works requests Board authorization to use the amount available in the fixed asset-equipment
account to purchase a traffic sign cutter, estimated at $6,200 (including tax and shipping). There is no
impact to the County's General Fund - action requested - APPROVE FIXED ASSET PURCHASE. (Public

full-time position to oversee the water enforcement program. The Sheriff's Office is charged with

(CFMG), the Sheriff's contracted inmate medical provider. The total medical bill was $355,691 and
through a medical billing review managed by CFMG, the hospital bill was reduced to $146,241. The
County's contract with CFMG causes the Sheriff's Office to pay expenses beyond the first $15,000 thus
our portion of this invoice is $131,241 (utilizing Inmate Welfare Funds). The Sheriff's Office purchased

29, and 26-33 to Article IV, Entitled "Flood Hazard Prevention," of Chapter 26, Entitled "Buildings,"
of the Butte County Code - At the December 13, 2011 Board meeting, the Butte County
Department of Development Services, with concurrence from Public Works, requested that the
Board direct staff to prepare an amendment to the Butte County Flood Hazard Prevention
Ordinance found in Chapter 26 of the Butte County Code. The reason for the request was to
remove the requirement to prepare an Elevation Certificate for building permits in the Zone X
(Shaded) areas of the County (see Staff report from Development Services for 12/13/2011 Item
4.06). The Board provided direction to staff to remove the Zone X (Shaded) from the requirement
of an Elevation Certificate. After the Board's action, the Public Works - Land Development staff,
who acts as the Floodplain Administrator for the County, began the process of reviewing the
Flood Hazard Prevention Code to make those changes. In conducting that review, staff
determined that there were also several housekeeping issues that needed to be done to the
existing code along with the changes outlined to the Board - action requested -WAIVE THE FIRST
READING OF THE ORDINANCE. (Public Works)

these communities into Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA). A working group of northern
California local agencies and individuals have been meeting since late 2011 and have developed

Congressional delegation, lead by Congressman John Garamendi, has introduced legislation in

that have been discussed. The group felt it was important that the organization be formalized to
