the road in several locations, repair failed sections of the roadway, and pave the approaches to
adjoining roads and driveways. Work will also include the installation of new guardrails, signs, markings
and drainage facilities as well as the removal of overgrown vegetation along the roadway. The gravel
portion of the road will be improved by adding gravel material, out sloping the roadway, and placing
water bars where needed. Finally, the paved section of Concow Road from the intersection of Highway
70 to the end of the pavement will be chip sealed. The project's final design, including the plans and
specifications, cannot be finished prior to the completion of the federal National Environmental Policy

Act (NEPA) environmental process. Due to the tight time frames regarding the use of funds on this
project, the Public Works Department is requesting authorization to advertise and solicit bids for the
construction of the project when the NEPA process is complete and the design is finalized.
41. Budget Adjustments - Budget adjustments for additional appropriations are requested for the following
five County Service Areas (CSAs): CSA 137 - Durham Dayton Industrial Partners fire protection pump
required repairs not anticipated in this year's budget ($1,100); CSA 158 - Ishi Valley Subdivision was
under budgeted for fire hydrant flushing services and pump repairs and requires additional
appropriations ($150); CSA 172 -Autumn Park Subdivision fire protection well pump that also provides
landscaping water required repairs not anticipated in this year's budget ($650); CSA 176 - Pheasant
Landing Estates was under budgeted for fire hydrant flushing services and pump repairs ($75); CSA 180 -
Red Hawk Ranch Subdivision required repairs not anticipated in this year's budget ($135). The
additional appropriations will be offset by existing fund balance in these CSAs.
42. COPS Office Grant Application for School Resource Officer (SRO) -The Sheriff's Office is in the process of
applying for a COPS Hiring Program (CHP) grant for one SRO to work the high school campuses in
unincorporated Butte County, specifically: Las Plumas High School in Oroville, Ridgeview Continuation
School in Magalia and Durham High School in Durham. Staff from the Sheriff's Office met with the three
school district superintendants and all are supportive of the proposed program and are offering letters
of support. Should the Sheriff's Office successfully obtain the grant award, we will complete a
Memorandum of Understanding with each of the school districts. The grant reimburses the Sheriff's
Office for 75%of the cost of salary and benefits for one deputy sheriff for three years up to a maximum
of$125,000. The SRO program must continue for one full year (4th year) funded with local monies. All
other costs are born by the local agency and the Sheriff's Office intends to fund the SRO with Rural
County Supplemental Funds provided annually by the State of California. The CHP grant requires the
governing body authorize county employee(s) to be "legally and officially authorized" by the county
governing body to act on behalf of the grant applicant entity (Butte County Sheriff's Office) and to
designate grant partners, in this case the three school districts. The Sheriff's Office requests that
authority be granted to Susan Tiffany and Becky Callas.
43. Adoption of Annual Ordinance Delegating Investment Authority to the Treasurer-Tax Collector -
Pursuant to Government Code Section 53607, approval is requested for an ordinance which will
delegate investment authority to the Treasurer-Tax Collector for FY 2013-14. This ordinance will replace
No. 4043 which expires June 30, 2013.
44. Annual Statement of Investment Policy -Approval is requested, pursuant to Government Code Sections
27133 and 53601-53686, for the Annual Statement of Investment Policy which sets forth policies
regarding the investment of surplus funds and funds under the custodianship of the Treasurer. There
are no proposed changes to the policy for FY 2013-14. The draft policy has been reviewed and accepted
by the Butte County Treasury Oversight Committee at its meeting of April 9, 2013. Upon Board
approval,the Statement of Investment Policy will become effective July 1, 2013.
45. Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District Water Transfer Program - The Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District (GCID)
proposes to adopt a Negative Declaration for its 2013 Water Transfer Program. The transfer program
involves the transfer of 5,000 acre feet to south of Delta water contractors and the substitution with
PAGE 10
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES-6/11/2013
groundwater from wells within GCID. The comment period ends on June 11, 2013. Although the GOD
2013 Water Transfer Program is not likely to impact Butte County, the increasing reliance on out-of-
basin water transfer programs by south of Delta water agencies may pose long term risks. The timing of
the transfer programs is troubling since some locations in Butte County have recorded historically low
groundwater elevations. Adequate monitoring, mitigation measures and improved scientific certainty of
the long term implications of out-of-basin water transfer programs must be established. Without
adequate science on the impacts to the basin and appropriate limitations on transfers, Butte County will
oppose regional out-of-basin groundwater substitution transfer programs. The GOD Water Transfer
Program is a component of the Bureau of Reclamation's proposed 2013 Water Transfer Program. The
Department sent a letter stating concerns with out-of-basin water transfer programs based on the
policy direction provided by the Board of Supervisor on May 7, 2013. Butte County sent a letter to the
Butte Water District opposing their water transfer program. The draft letter to GOD reflects the
position of Butte County to oppose out-of-basin groundwater substitution transfer programs.

1311-012 9:50 a.m. - Public Hearings-Actions Related to the Sierra Moon Subdivision
A. Resolution to Vacate a Portion of a Drainage Easement in the Sierra Moon Subdivision - On May
21, 2013, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 13-077 setting a public hearing for 9:50
a.m. on June 11, 2013. The public hearing is for the vacation (abandonment) of a portion of a
drainage easement in the Sierra Moon Subdivision in north Chico. The easement runs along the
westerly boundary of the subdivision between Keefer Slough and Mud Creek. This hearing has
been properly noticed and posted pursuant to Chapter 3 of Part 3 of Division 9 of the California
Streets and Highways Code, commencing with Section 8320. The easement is currently 82 feet
wide and the applicants have requested that the width be reduced to 30 feet, which the Public
Works Department has determined is acceptable. The easement runs along the westerly side of
the following APNs: 047-710-016, 019, 021 and 022; and 047-770-001, 015, 016, 017, 025, 026
and 027. The easement was the result of a development agreement between the County and
the developers of the Sierra Moon Subdivision. As a result, the development agreement will also
need to be amended to reflect the proposed change in width. The request for action related to
the development agreement amendment will be considered under Item B of this agenda item
(below).

B. Amendment to the 1998 Stephens Development Agreement (RA13-0002 Stephen Schuster) -
This amendment to the development agreement by and between Butte County and Douglas N.
Gunn, Trustee of the Robert and Ann Stephens Charitable Remainder Unitrust, Et al. would allow
for the partial abandonment of an existing 82-foot wide drainage easement. The abandonment
request is to reduce the easement's width from 82 feet to 30 feet wide. The drainage easement
was created to allow for the potential diversion of flood waters from Keefer Slough to Mud
Creek. The drainage easement was not conditioned as part of the Sierra Moon Subdivision, but
established by an offer of dedication to, and accepted by, Butte County as a result of the
development agreement. The drainage easement is located along the western portion of 11
parcels, including a number of parcels in Phase I of the Sierra Moon Subdivision. The amendment
to the development agreement is required in conjunction with the proposed partial
abandonment. Exhibit B of the amendment identifies an 82-foot drainage easement. With the
partial abandonment, Exhibit B, along with the legal description for the drainage easement, will
need to be amended to reflect the new width of 30 feet. At a public hearing on April 25, 2013,
the Planning Commission found the proposed abandonment to be consistent with the General
Plan and North Chico Specific Plan recommending amendment of the development agreement
by changing the Landowner Obligations from dedication of an 82-foot wide drainage easement
to a 30-foot wide drainage easement.
MOTION: I MOVE TO: 1) FIND THIS PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PROVISIONS UNDER SECTION 15305 OF THE CEQA

1311-013 Website Enhancements and Social Media Presence Update - On April 24, 2012, the Board of

with the media, the public and employees. The Communication Plan included four main areas of
focus: Media Relations, Social Media Presence, Website Enhancements and Employee Relations. The
goal set for the County website in the Communication Plan is to enhance the County's website to
provide information in a coordinated, professional, and timely manner. The Communication Work
Team and staff from the Administration and Information Systems Departments, in conjunction with

website will include a new look and feel for the user with content focused on the actions users want
PAGE 16
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES-6/11/2013
to take when accessing the County website. The new website will be live for the public Summer
2013. The goal set for the County Social Media Presence in the Communication Plan is to use social
media channels to provide timely information to the public and the news media. Several
departments are currently utilizing social media channels to provide information to the public and
the news media via Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest.
