3.32 Acceptance of Donated/Loaned Helicopter - The Sheriff's Office use of helicopters for Search and
Rescue Operations has proven invaluable for saving lives. Lost persons are found more expeditiously
and rescue personnel are placed in less jeopardy when a helicopter is used for searches involving
large expanses of difficult terrain. Search and Rescue operations involving the helicopter average
forty (40) missions per year. The helicopter is also used in patrol operations and criminal
investigations and is the only law enforcement helicopter available in the region. For the past ten
years, the Sheriff's Office has been researching replacement options for our existing helicopters, one
of which is a 1967 Hughes 500/OH-6A which was obtained in 1998, via a long-term loan through
military surplus. Options to replace the helicopters include purchase, new or used, either cost
prohibitive, or acquisition through another long-term loan from the military surplus program. Last
year, the Sheriff's Office submitted the necessary paperwork to the military to attempt to obtain a
surplus helicopter and last month we were notified of the availability of a 1993 Bell 206 B III. The Bell
is a certificated aircraft which means operations involving Cal-Fire or Forest Service may be
reimbursable and federal employees will be authorized to ride aboard our craft. We intend to paint
the Bell white and install equipment currently mounted in our existing helicopter. At some point in
the distant future determined by Butte County, the Bell helicopter will be returned to the military
program. The estimated value of the Bell helicopter is $500,000. The Sheriff's Office will be notified,
after June 9th, of the need to pick up the helicopter at Fort Rucker, Alabama. We intend to send two
pilots who will fly the craft back to Butte County- action requested -ACCEPT LONG TERM LOAN OF A
1993 BELL 206 B III HELICOPTER FROM THE MILITARY SURPLUS PROGRAM. (Sheriff)
3.33 Annual Statement of Investment Policy FY 2015-16 -Approval is requested, pursuant to Government
Code Section 27133 and 53601-53686,for the Annual Statement of Investment Policy which sets forth

Treasurer. The proposed Policy for FY 2015-16 is unchanged from that of the current year and has
been reviewed and accepted by the Butte County Treasury Oversight Committee. Ordinance 4083
dated June 10, 2014 provides that investment authority delegated by the Board to the Treasurer is
renewed with annual approval of the investment policy unless it is revoked or not renewed. Upon
Board approval, the policy for FY 2015-16 will become effective July 1, 2015 - action requested -

4.03 Items Removed from the Consent Agenda for Board Consideration and Action. (NONE)
4.04 PERS Post Retirement Employment Exemption -The Public Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) of
2013 requires newly retired persons to "sit out" for at least 180 days before returning to work for an
employer in the same retirement system from which they receive a retirement allowance. An
exemption to this rule is permitted by Government Code Section 7522.56(f)(1) and 21224, if approved
by the governing body in a public meeting on the regular agenda. The District Attorney is requesting
an exemption to the 180 day sit out period required by PEPRA and approval to hire Robert Thomas III
as an extra-help Deputy District Attorney IV (DDA) to serve as the prosecutor assigned to the
collaborative/therapeutic courts. The prosecutor assigned to the program has left County service and
there is currently no other qualified candidate. The Butte County criminal justice system includes
collaborative and therapeutic courts that consider alternatives to incarceration for certain offenses.
These include drug courts and a DUI court, where substance abuse is an underlying factor; and a
domestic violence court where therapeutic programs can address underlying issues. These courts are
a proven, vital and integral component of the criminal justice system. The collaborative nature of
these courts requires a prosecutor with extensive expertise in the law, and the ability to coordinate
programs for defendants that include the Court, defense counsel, probation, law enforcement,
treatment providers and community-based organizations. DDA Thomas'years of experience, expertise
in the law and established relationships with program agencies are required to continue the program
until another attorney can develop the needed skills and knowledge to assume the program duties.
The Director of Human Resources has reviewed the facts and concurs that the request is consistent
with the exemption permitted under Government Code Section 7522.56(f)(1) - action requested - 1)
APPROVE PERS POST-RETIREMENT EXEMPTION PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION

4.07 Acceptance of the Butte County Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Recommended Budget - The FY 2015-2016
Recommended Budget serves as the basis for budget hearings on June 23, 2015 and as the authority
for continuing county expenditures until the Adopted Budget is approved. Approval of the fiscal year
Adopted Budget is scheduled for July 28, 2015. Budget hearings provide an opportunity for the
community to comment of the Recommended Budget and will include a presentation on and
adjustments to the Recommended Budget. This year's recommended budget reflects a revised
financial organizational structure. This is most noticeable in the new Non-Operating section of the
budget (starting on page 340) which includes a number of new funds that will be used to hold moneys
that the County receives in one year, but doesn't use until a future year and whose use is restricted to
a particular purpose.The Recommended Budget is the work product of many County employees in all
23 departments. The efforts and cooperation put forth by department heads and their staff resulted
in a recommended spending plan that is both realistic and balanced. The Recommended Budget can
be found at www.buttecounty.net/countybudget -action requested - 1) ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDED
BUDGET FOR FY 2015-2016 AS THE AUTHORITY FOR EXPENDITURES DURING PREPARATION OF THE FY
2015-2016 ADOPTED BUDGET, AND AS THE BASIS FOR BUDGET HEARINGS; AND 2) SET THE PUBLIC

4.08 Resolution Adopting the Teeter Plan Policy - On October 12, 1993, the Butte County Board of
Supervisors adopted Resolution 93-156 establishing the Alternative Method of Tax Apportionment,
commonly referred to as the "Teeter Plan" after the Contra Costa Auditor. Under the Teeter Plan,
taxing entities within the County receive 100%of owed property tax revenues through advances from
the County, which in turn retains the delinquent tax payments along with the related penalties and
interest. This plan provides local agencies with more consistent revenues and, over the long term,
increases County revenues due to the penalties and interest received on the delinquent bills. The
Auditor-Controller, Chief Administrative Officer and Treasurer/Tax Collector recommend establishing
a policy related to the management of the Teeter Plan, including meeting the requirements of
PAGE 14
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES - 6/9/2015
applicable State law, accounting guidance, fiscal transparency and prudent financial planning. The
recommended policy establishes levels of reserves to ensure adequate funds are available to advance
the payments of delinquent property taxes to local taxing agencies and provides for all revenues
beyond that amount to be received in the General Fund. Additionally, the Board of Supervisors will
be asked to consider increasing the General Fund Reserve by$2 million at budget hearings to smooth
the impact of the cyclical nature of Teeter Plan revenues in the General Fund. Staff completed an
analysis on the time period from FY 2002-03 through FY 2013-14, which supports that the level of
reserves recommended in this policy would be adequate in an economic downturn similar to that of
2007-2010 - action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Auditor-
Controller)

PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS
5.01 9:35 a.m. - Public Hearing - Paradise Recreation and Park District Development Impact Fees -Sections
16-74 through 16-86 of the Butte County Code authorize a park facility fee to be assessed and levied
upon any owner of real property located in the unincorporated area of the County of Butte within the
Paradise Recreation and Park District (PRPD) adding one or more dwelling units to such property. The
Code is based upon findings from a Development Impact Fee Calculation Report dated September
2004. PRPD conducted a new Park Impact Fee Nexus Study dated October 2014 and revised February
2015. PRPD has submitted the required documentation and a request to amend the County Code
based upon the new study and to increase park facility fees as follows: 1) Single-Family Dwelling and
Residential Additions - from $0.50/square foot to $0.82/square foot and 2) Multi-Family Unit - from
$0.86/square foot to $1.49/square foot. County Counsel reviewed the submitted documentation and
study, as revised, and verified that the study meets all requirements for setting impact fees. Proposed
changes to the County Code, via a new ordinance, include changes in: 1) references to supporting
documents; 2) the levels of park land and facilities for every one-thousand (1,000) new residents; 3)
the elimination of "aquatic facilities" and "district facilities" and the addition of "community use
facilities"; 4)the methodology for calculating "community use facility fees"; and 5)the addition of the
Forest Ranch Planning Area to the list of exemptions. Changes to fees are provided for in a resolution
- action requested - 1) ADOPT ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE VII, ENTITLED "PARK FACILITY FEES IN
