These changes will increase the total allocations in the County by 1 FTE. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH: requests to change two(2).50 Medical Records Technician,Senior/Medical Records Technician to two (2)full time positions. The department has struggled to fill half-time positions and has needs for additional medical records support in the Oroville and Gridley clinics. The additional cost associated with this change within FY 2015-16 will be covered with current salary and benefit savings. Behavioral Health also requests to delete one (1) vacant Accountant and add one (1) flexibly staffed Administrative Analyst to the department's administrative support team. Anew analyst position is needed in the Billing Unit to analyze State data and reports related to Medi-Cal and Drug Medi-Cal claims. There is a cost savings associated with this change. In addition,the department requests to delete one(1)vacant Personnel Operations Specialist position that is no longer needed and add one (1) Supervisor, Support Services for additional Substance Use Disorder (SUD) clerical supervision. SUD services and charting requirements are substantially different than mental health services requirements, and a clerical supervisor is needed in the SUD area. The additional cost associated with this change within FY 2015-16 will be covered with current salary and benefit savings. Behavioral Health requests to add one (1) Program Manager, Clinical Services for the Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Division. Currently there is only one Program Manager for the entire SUD Division with clinics in both North County and South County.This management span is too broad. In preparation for the upcoming changes to the Drug Medi-Cal program it has been determined that additional program management is required allowing for complete program oversight in each clinic.With the aforementioned changes the total allocations in the department will increase by two(2) FTE. Any increase in cost is covered within the department's budget.There will be no additional budget impact to the General Fund. CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES: requests to delete one(1)vacant Program Manager,Child Support Services and one (1) vacant Supervisor, Child Support Services and add two (2) flexibly staffed Child Support Specialist III/II/I. These changes will reduce staffing costs and increase the department's ability to meet operational needs. There are cost savings associated with these changes. There is no impact to the General Fund. HUMAN RESOURCES: At the March 22, 2016, Board of Supervisors meeting an Assistant Chief Financial Officer was eliminated from County Administration and an Assistant Chief Administrative Officer was added. The staff report included the accompanying adjustment to the salary range for the Assistant Chief Administrative Officer in accordance with resolution 15-180, section 1.6a, but this change was inadvertently left out of the resolution. This item corrects that omission and updates the salary range from 89 to 93. SHERIFF-CORONER: requests to delete one(1)vacant Accountant, Senior/Accountant. This deletion is the result of an internal promotion and will decrease the department's total allocations by one (1).There is no PAGE 3 BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES-4/26/2016 impact on the General Fund-action requested-ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIRTO SIGN.

It is anticipated that an enhanced level of supervision and mentoring, coupled with assisting the youth to connect to local resources (e.g. educational programs, vocational programs, and appropriate counseling), they can overcome their challenges and deficiencies and successfully reintegrate into the community. The primary goal will be to effect positive, pro-social behavioral change. Objectives include assisting the youth in remaining drug and alcohol-free, developing pro-social skills and strengthening family relationships, facilitating their educational and/or vocational goals, and coordinating employment activities -action requested -APPROVE LETTER AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

The Facility's fill sequencing plan calls for additional waste containment units to be developed over the next several years. In preparation for excavation of the new waste containment units, the septage ponds will need to be decommissioned.There are two septage ponds at the facility; a primary (solids)pond and a supernatant pond. Removal of the supernatant pond is scheduled for 2017.The primary pond,which is approximately 80%filled with solids,will need to be partially emptied to provide additional capacity for the rain season of 2017-18.The County contracted to remove 2,000 dry-equivalent tons from the primary pond in 2007. Emptying the primary septage pond involves removing the solids, drying, and burying in the landfill. A feasibility study conducted in 2013 indicated that there are approximately 6,000 dry-equivalent tons of solids in the primary pond. Staff is requesting to release a Request for Proposals to PAGE 4 BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES-4/26/2016 remove approximately 3,000 dry-equivalent tons of solids. Staff anticipates this process will provide approximately five feet of capacity for the rain season. Without the supernatant pond available for the overflow from the primary pond, it will be critical to manage the liquid level in the primary pond prior to the rain season. Staff anticipates the remaining solids will need to be removed in FY 2018-19 or 2019-20- action requested -AUTHORIZE PUBLIC WORKS TO ISSUE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS.

The total cost of repairs were $4,306.27. These repairs were not anticipated in the current fiscal year budget for CSA-128 and were not budgeted. Public Works staff requests a budget adjustment to appropriate funds for the repairs-action requested -APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT(4/5 vote required). (Public Works) 3.16 Resolution Certifying Annual Changes to Butte County Maintained Mileage-Section 2121 of the California Streets and Highways Codes and Chapter 18 of the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual requires counties submit a listing of changes that have occurred to their list of maintained roads by May of each year.The County's submitted data is then forwarded by Caltrans to the State Controller for the allocation of State Gas Tax Funds.Caltrans District 3 Office of Local Assistance has requested the Board of Supervisors approve a resolution prior to May 15th, 2016 for the new maintained mileage even if there have been no changes. The County maintained mileage for the previous year (ending December 31, 2015) was determined to be 1,299.205 miles. The calculated mileage to be submitted this year is 1,289.956 miles, which is a decrease of 9.249 miles. This decrease is primarily due to annexations to the City of Oroville.

(NONE) PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS 5.01* 9:40 a.m. - Public Hearing - Award of Contract to Richard Heath and Associates, Inc., for the County Lighting Project - One of the maintenance projects budgeted for FY 2015-16 is the upgrade of lighting across 22 County buildings. Richard Heath & Associates, Inc (RHA) is the vendor that has been selected by Pacific Gas and Electric to implement this phase of their lighting efficiency program. Compensation due RHA under this project includes a County fixed price contract totaling $158,438.40 and acceptance of the PG&E rebate totaling $45,085.34. With an estimated annual savings of approximately $46,055 in energy costs alone,the overall payback estimate for this project is approximately 3.44 years. With a life expectancy of over 50,000 hours, this project will continue to accrue savings for the County for many years into the future. In addition, the newer lighting components, especially LED technology, has been proven to dramatically reduce power consumption, reduce maintenance costs due to longer bulb replacement cycles, and atthe same time reduce waste stream impacts as new models of LED lights have virtually no hazardous waste materials inherent in their construction. Although pricing was obtained from multiple sources and all found to be higher than the RHA cost for the project, staff recommends that the Board authorize the utilization of Public Contract Code section 4217,allowing for the sole source selection and contract execution of energy contracts that are in the best interest of the County and when the anticipated cost for the energy project is less than the anticipated energy savings to be derived from those PAGE 7 BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES-4/26/2016 services.
