Hazardous Waste Facility - Household hazardous waste (HHW) requires special handling in regulations
enforced by the Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC), the Department of Resources Recycling
and Recovery (CalRecycle) and the local enforcement agencies. AB 939 required all jurisdictions in the
state to approve a Household Hazardous Waste Element (plan) as part of their countywide Integrated
Waste Management Plan. The Butte Regional Household Hazardous Waste Facility is a key component
of the County's Household Hazardous Waste Element for meeting regulatory requirements and the
needs of residents and small businesses within Butte County. For thirteen years, the County has
contracted with NRC Environmental Services/AC Industrial Services (NRC)for the operation of the Butte
Regional Household Hazardous Waste Facility. This facility is located in the Chico Airport area, which is
in close proximity to the majority of residents in the County. The number of participants using the
facility has grown over the years, as has the cost of operation of the facility. The number of items
determined to be hazardous has grown over the years as well and contributes to the increase in volume
collected and disposed through the HHW program. Approval is requested for an agreement with NRC
for the operation of the Butte Regional Household Hazardous Waste Facility and disposal of county-
generated HHW. The term of the agreement is July 16, 2015 to July 15, 2018 with a maximum payable
amount of$500,000 per year. The annual maximum payable amount is the same as previous years due
in part to new State law that requires paint manufacturers to fund recycling and disposal of paint
products (Extended Producer Responsibility), thereby relieving local government of that expense. This

amount by$50,000 to a maximum payable amount of$125,000. Starting in 2016, the recycling of waste
mattresses will fall under the Used Mattress Recycling and Recovery Act (SB 254). SB 254 places the
responsibility for the cost associated with the recycling of used mattresses on the manufacturers
(Extended Producer Responsibility) relieving local government from such costs. Under this new
program, the NRRWF will still serve as the primary facility for the collection of mattresses generated in
the County, however the cost of transportation, recycling and handling will be covered by the non-profit
Mattress Recycling Council - action requested - APPROVE AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT AND

3.54 State of California - Thermalito Afterbay Boating Enforcement Program - The Butte County Sheriff's
Office is requesting Board of Supervisor's approval to continue negotiations with the State of California,
Department of Water Resources (DWR) for continued funding for the Thermalito Afterbay Boating
Enforcement Program. The year-round program funds two full-time uniformed deputy sheriffs
providing law enforcement services to recreational ists utilizing the Thermalito Afterbay. In addition to
law enforcement personnel, the funding provides support costs, off-setting building lease funds, fuel,
office supplies, equipment, and vessel maintenance. DWR requests a minute order from the Board of
Supervisor's approving the Sheriff's Office intent to enter into another agreement with the State-action
requested - AUTHORIZE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE TO NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES. (Sheriff)
3.55 Court Collection Discharge of Accountability - The Treasurer-Tax Collector's department requests
approval to discharge from the court collections portfolio cases that are ten years or older, past statute
and considered uncollectible. Uncollectible accounts can consist of, but are not limited to, deceased
debtors and accounts with fraudulent debtor information. Under the provisions of GC 25257, the Tax
Collector may request from the Board of Supervisors a discharge from accountability for the collection
of court-ordered debt or bail, and any other charge pertaining thereto, if the amount is so small as to
not justify the cost of collection or if collection enforcement is impractical. The discharge process is
supported by the Butte County Superior Court and the Judicial Council and allows the Treasurer-Tax
Collector's department to inactivate the accounts and remove the total due from the outstanding
accounts receivable that is reported by the County to the State annually. This action does not eliminate
PAGE 15
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES-6/23/2015
the case or relieve the obligation for payment; rather, it solely removes the responsibility of the county
to collect and report on the discharged delinquent debt cases. The Treasurer-Tax Collector has not
discharged court debt since the inception of the program in 2000,when Penal Code Section 1214(d)was
amended to allow collections on court-ordered debts past ten years. It has since been determined that
because Senate Bill 857 amending the Code was not retroactive, cases dated October 19, 2000 or earlier
are not eligible for collection. There are 7,999 accounts totaling $6,039,680.36 that are eligible for
discharge, the majority of which are past statute and may not receive any further collection activity and
others that have been determined to be uncollectible for various reasons. The discharge of
accountability will enable the Treasurer-Tax Collector's department to more accurately report the
percentage of collected debt against the total debt subject to collection activity, and will ensure no
further collection activity on the listed cases past the statute of limitations - action requested -

4.05 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. Currently prosecutions resulting from
the willful and criminal failure to meet child support obligations are conducted by a Child Support
Attorney IV in the department of Child Support Services. Over the decades the attorney performing
these duties has developed a level of legal expertise that is unique and critical to successful outcomes in
these important cases. The incumbent is scheduled to retire effective July 3, 2015, and although the
Department of Child Support Services is planning to hire a replacement Child Support Attorney, the
incumbent's specialized area of expertise is so particularized, it will take time to develop a comparable
knowledge base in any new or replacing attorney. During this time, criminal child support related cases
would not be addressed, and the mission of enforcing a parent's obligation to support their child would
be negatively impacted. The District Attorney is requesting an exemption to the 180-day sit out period
required by PEPRA and approval to hire Jack Schafer as an extra-help Deputy District Attorney IV for the
purpose of prosecuting child support related cases. The incumbent's unique subject matter expertise is
necessary to continue prosecutions until another attorney can develop the needed skills and knowledge
to assume those 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) -

5.03 9:55 a.m. - Public Hearing - Adoption of Addendum to Supplemental Jail Facility Initial Study/Mitigated
Negative Declaration - Construction of a Supplemental Jail Facility is proposed in response to the
increase in inmates and parolees transferred from the State of California to Butte County custody as a
result of California Assembly Bill 109 (AB 109-the Public Safety Realignment Act or the Realignment Act).
The County is pursuing State funding to build a proposed Supplemental Jail Facility, west of the existing
jail, for which the County prepared and adopted an Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative declaration on July
29, 2014 (2014 IS/MND). An Addendum to the 2014 IS/MND, included in staff report, evaluates an
alternative site location for the Supplemental Jail Facility immediately north of the existing jail facility.
The Revised Supplemental Jail Facility Project, approximately 63,000 sq. ft., includes demolition of an
approximately 2,500 sq. ft. evidence building north of the existing jail. This change to the project's
location within the County's public safety neighborhood, roughly 500 feet northeast of the Original
Project location and demolition of an approximately 2,500 sq. ft. evidence building, constitute
modifications to the Original Project that were not evaluated in the 2014 IS/MND, and which
necessitates subsequent environmental review/documentation under the California Environmental
Quality Act. The Revised Project was found not to have a significant effect on the environment at its
new location, with implementation of the mitigation measures identified in the 2014 IS/MND, with the
exception of Mitigation Measure#6 which was found to be not applicable to the new project site. Staff
recommends the "Action Requested" below in order to approve the Addendum to the 2014 IS/ MND for
the Revised Supplemental Jail Facility - action requested - 1) ADOPT RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE
ADDENDUM TO THE 2014 IS/MND AND MITIGATION MONITORING PLAN PURSUANT TO THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) FOR THE REVISED BUTTE COUNTY SUPPLEMENTAL
JAIL FACILITY PROJECT; AND 2) DIRECT STAFF TO FILE A NOTICE OF DETERMINATION WITH THE COUNTY
