Continuity in design saves time, and therefore cost, for each successive module development. Staff
is satisfied with the design and construction specifications that Golder has provided. The Regional
Water Quality Control Board reviews and approves all designs for waste modules and has never
saves staff time to review, and therefore saves costs for the project. It is staff's estimate that cost
savings could be 15%-20% of the project. The term of the agreement is three years and the

3.58Agreement with Synagro for Services at the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility - The Board of
Supervisors authorized Public Works to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Biosolids and Sludge
Removal, Dewatering, and Disposal from the Primary Septage Impoundment at the Neal Road
Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF) at its April 26, 2016 meeting. Staff issued the RFP on April
27, 2016. Project specifications include removal, dewatering, drying, and burying approximately
50% of the solids in the Primary Septage Impoundment. The facility's fill sequencing plan calls for
the waste containment units to be developed over the next several years. The septage ponds will
need to be decommissioned in preparation for excavation of the new waste containment units.
There are two Septage Impoundments at the facility; a primary (solids) pond and a supernatant
pond. Removal of the supernatant pond is scheduled for 2017. The project's goal is to remove
approximately 3,000 dry-equivalent tons of solids. It is anticipated 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 is 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. Four proposals were received and evaluated by staff. Proposals were evaluated
based on a firm's reputation and experience, capabilities, completeness of a work plan, equipment
proposed to be used, schedule, and cost. The proposal submitted by Synagro was ranked highest
by the review committee. Synagro's proposed cost of $1,260,000 was also the lowest of the four
proposals. Based on the review criteria and scoring the review committee recommends that the
County enter into an agreement with Synagro to perform services associated with the project's
scope of work. The agreement completion date is December 31, 2016 and the services are not-to-
exceed $1,260,000 - action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO

3.64Agreement with RMC Water and Environment (RMC) - The Sustainable Groundwater Management
Act of 2014 (SGMA) went into effect on January 1, 2015. SGMA authorizes local public agencies to
form groundwater sustainability agencies that will be responsible for implementing sustainable
groundwater management through a groundwater sustainability plan. Groundwater sustainability
plans define a course to achieve sustainable groundwater management within 20 years of
implementation. There are four subbasins in Butte County that are subject to SGMA. Butte County
elected to be a groundwater sustainability agency for the subbasins in Butte County. One of the
more complex issues is how adjoining subbasins will account for the interaction between their
respective subbasins. The subbasins in the Sacramento Valley are interconnected to varying
degrees. To address this issue, Butte County received an $85,000 grant award on January 26, 2016,
from the Water Foundation program of the Resources Legacy Fund. The grant will fund the
Interbasin Groundwater Flow Evaluation project. Professional services are necessary to complete
the project. A competitive solicitation process was conducted and the review committee
unanimously recommends Butte County enter an agreement with RMC to conduct specific tasks
associated with the project. The agreement with RMC will begin upon approval of the Board of

4.06Termination of Local Drought Emergency - A local drought emergency presently exists in Butte
County in accordance with the proclamation made by the Chief Administrative Officer on July 22,
2015, and reaffirmed and ratified by the Board of Supervisors on July 28, 2015. The proclamation
has been renewed at least every 30 days by the Board of Supervisors per the Emergency Services
Act. The purpose of the drought proclamation was to allow the County to deploy resources and
execute contracts under emergency procedures. The local situation resulting from conditions of
drought has been lessened by this year's rain fall and is no longer beyond the capability of local
resources to mitigate. However, the State of California is still in a drought situation and citizens
must continue to conserve water resources in Butte County. The termination of the local drought
emergency declaration will not end Butte County's drought activities. The Butte County Drought

4.07Authorization to Issue a Request for Proposal for a Technical Study Related to Community Choice
Aggregation - In response to concerns voiced by several Butte County businesses, and per one of
the action items in the Butte County Regional Economic Development Strategy, County staff has
been researching opportunities to assist both businesses and residents through alternative energy
projects and programs. One such program is Community Choice Aggregation (CCA), which allows
local governments to become an energy purveyor and to purchase electrical energy on the
wholesale market from any source. CCA chooses the source of electrical power for the community
and sets its own rates. CCA only provides electricity and does not own poles or wires; electricity
would continue to be delivered using PG&E transmission and distribution lines. On August 31,
2015, the Board of Supervisors directed staff to further research CCA including: outreach to
business, identification of formation tasks and associated costs, and identification of potential risks
and benefits. Due to a fee change from the California Public Utility Commission in December 2015,
CCA seemed to no longer make financial sense. However, with decreases in the cost of electricity,
CCA has become a viable option again for many communities. The first step in the CCA pre-
formation process is the completion of a technical study to determine the feasibility of CCA in the
Butte County region - action requested - AUTHORIZE STAFF TO ISSUE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
FOR A TECHNICAL STUDY RELATED TO THE FORMATION OF CCA IN BUTTE COUNTY. (County

4.08Refinancing the 2006 Certificates of Participation - In November 2006, the County obtained
financing in the amount of $12,025,000 to fund necessary capital improvements at the Neal Road
Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF), including module closures and the development of new
disposal modules. The loan proceeds were used to fund $10,700,000 in improvements at the
NRRWF, a $1,202,500 required reserve fund, and $122,500 in issuance costs. The outstanding loan
balance after the July 1, 2016 payment will be $5,370,000. The terms of the 2006 Certificates of
Participation (2006 COPs) prevented any prepayment of the balance prior to the call date of July
1, 2016. Due to the upcoming call date and the low interest rate environment, the County solicited
refinancing proposals from banks and public financing agencies for the refunding/refinancing of
the 2006 COPs. The County received six proposals. The current annual interest rates for the 2006
COPs are 4.00% and 4.50%. Staff recommends the County refinance the existing debt with Capital
One Public Finance which has offered a fixed interest rate of 1.79%, with no fees, no reserve fund
requirement, and no special covenants. Funds currently held by the trustee, including the reserve
fund, will be used to reduce the outstanding balance to approximately $4,220,000. It is estimated
refinancing the 2006 COPs will result in total gross savings to the NRRWF of $345,000. Additionally,
the loan term will be shortened by one year, to a maturity of July 1, 2020 instead of the current
maturity date of July 1, 2021 - action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR
TO SIGN. (County Administration)

4.09Resolution for PERS Post-Retirement Employment Exemption - The California Public Employees'
(CalPERS) Pension Reform Act 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 which they receive
a retirement allowance. An exemption to this rule is provided with governing body approval and
adoption of a "Resolution for Exception to the 180-Day Wait Period to Hire CalPERS Retiree Per
Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21224" that must be submitted to CalPERS. Requested is
approval of a certification resolution to allow the extra-help hiring of Burjessa Tighe as a Certified
Nurse Practitioner for the Public Health Department. Burjessa Tighe is scheduled to retire as a
regular-help employee on June 30, 2016. The proposed extra-help hire date is July 5, 2016. The
position of Certified Nurse Practitioner is necessary for the Public Health Clinic to continue to
provide medical care services to clinic clients. Without this position filled, appointments in the
clinic will need to be canceled, possibly forcing clients to find services elsewhere. Also, the
department will lose out on revenue generating activities. A continuous recruitment for a
Physician's Assistant or Certified Nurse Practitioner are currently running and have been running
continuously since December 2014. Based on previous recruitments, the department anticipates
that it will take some time to fill the vacancy with a qualified individual. As an extra-help employee
Burjessa Tighe will work until a replacement is trained and provide coverage as needed to assure
continuity and access to care for clinic clients. The Director of Human Resources has reviewed the
facts and concurs that the request is consistent with the exemption outlined in Government Code
Section 7522.56(f)(1) and supports the request - action requested - 1) APPROVE PERS POST-
RETIREMENT EXEMPTION PURSUANT TO SECTION 7522.56 OF THE GOVERNMENT CODE; AND, 2)

4.10Report on Countywide Radio Communications Systems - The Countywide radio system is a critical
component of public safety and emergency communications. The system itself is comprised of
hundreds of pieces of equipment distributed throughout the County including: radio towers,
antennae, communications equipment vaults, transmitters and receivers, consoles, mobile units
in vehicles, and hand-held devices. Much of the current equipment is outdated or obsolete
technology which no longer performs to the level required of a modern communications system.
In addition, in 2013 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) imposed "mandatory narrow
banding" on radio systems to support a greater use of available radio frequency spectrum. The
narrow banding implementation, applied through largely existing infrastructure, unintentionally
degraded the performance of the existing radio system. Last year, Information Systems issued a
Request for Proposal (RFP) to upgrade or replace the current radio system. Since receiving the
proposals and selecting a vendor, staff has been working to further refine the scope of work,
necessary equipment, and design of the new system. The FY 2016-17 Recommended Budget
includes initial funding for this completely new 700 MHz radio system, which will supply radio
communications services to County departments. Staff will present an overview of the County's
existing radio communications system and the proposed replacement system - action requested -
ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION. (Information Systems)

Environmental Quality Act, per Section 15304 (e) of the CEQA Guidelines - "Minor temporary use
of land having negligible or no permanent effects on the environment, including carnivals, etc."

5.029:35 a.m. Timed Item - Consideration of a Resolution Constituting Compensation Agreement with
the City of Oroville for the Sale of the Gateway Development Properties - The Gateway Project site
is located within the City of Oroville adjacent to the Highway 70/Montgomery Street off ramp. The
site consists of four parcels owned by the City of Oroville, two of which were formally owned by
the Oroville Redevelopment Agency. The City of Oroville has entered into a Master Disposition
and Development Agreement (MDDA) with Snyder Commercial Real Estate, LLC for development
of the site. The MDDA provides for the City to sell the property to Snyder Development for $1.00,
and in turn Snyder Development will construct a $35 million development consisting of a quality
hotel, restaurant pads, and a mix of commercial and retail space. The process for the sale of the
two parcels that were formally owned by the Oroville Redevelopment Agency is governed by the
Oroville Successor Agency's Long Range Property Management Plan. The plan states that prior to
executing the sale, the City of Oroville shall enter into compensation agreements with all 16 of the
taxing entities affected by the sale. The City of Oroville is requesting the Board of Supervisors
consider approving a resolution that will serve as the compensation agreement for the sale of the
property for $1.00, noting that the long term property tax revenues generated through the sale
and development of the property, with an estimated new assessed value of approximately $1.1
million, will be much higher than if the property remained vacant. By approving the resolution,
the County agrees to waive approximately $192,798 in one-time revenue, which represents a
portion of the revenues that would have been received as a result of a fair market value sale of the
property - action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County
