Public Works the authority to work with the City of Biggs and event organizers to establish reasonable
limits on the hours of restricted parking during this event and to allow the City or event organizers to
post said limits. Section 14-46.5 of the Butte County Code allows the Board to restrict parking on County
owned or leased property by resolution. A resolution allowing the restriction of parking and granting
authority to the Director of Public Works is included in the staff report.
86. Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Between Sheriff's Office and Oroville Union High School District -
The Sheriff's Office contracts with Oroville Union High School District for School Resource Deputy
services. The MOU funds an extra-help deputy sheriff for three days per week up to 570 hours for the
term of the contract and overtime for a deputy to work two days per week up to 380 hours for the term.
The Sheriff's Office intends to assign an extra help deputy sheriff to Las Plumas High School for the term
of the school year, August 14, 2013 through June 5, 2014.
87. Trash Compaction and Cardboard Baler Equipment Lease -The Sheriff's Office completed a Request for
Proposal (RFP) process for the lease of two pieces of equipment: a trash compactor and a cardboard
baler for the Sheriff's complex. The jail generates the majority of the cardboard that is baled and picked
PAGE 19
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES- 6/25/2013
up by a recycle company, and the jail generates most of the trash that is deposited into the trash
compactor. The current provider's equipment was in use for over eight years and is due to be replaced.
The RFP process resulted in three responses, and the Sheriff's Office selected the low bidder, Compact-It,
Inc. located in Roseville. The monthly lease amount is $225 for the baler and $495 for the compactor,
total annual cost less tax, is $8,640. Total three year term of the contract cost is$27,864 and the term of
the contract is June 25, 2013 through June 24, 2016.
88. Budget Adjustment - The Butte County Sheriff's Office was awarded a grant from the California
Emergency Management Agency (CaIEMA) for Marijuana Suppression in Fiscal Year 2012 in the amount
of$230,326 with an original ending date of June 2012. Due to the original startup date being delayed by
CaIEMA, $52,336 in grant funds were extended to June 2013 to allow grantees additional time to spend
the funds. The Sheriff's Office is requesting authorization to accept the unbudgeted funds in the amount
of$52,336.
89. Delinquent Unsecured Taxes - Discharge from Accountability -The Treasurer-Tax Collector's Department
requests approval to discharge from the property tax roll delinquent unsecured accounts that are ten
years or older and considered uncollectable. Under the provisions of Revenue and Taxation Code Section
2923, the Tax Collector may request from the Board of Supervisors "a discharge from accountability for
the collection of taxes, penalties, and interest, 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 allows the Auditor's Office to inactivate the accounts and remove the total due from the
delinquent unsecured tax roll. However, this action does not relieve the taxpayer from the responsibility
of paying the bill to obtain a lien release. The Tax Collector simply does not spend additional time and
money pursuing inactive accounts. It has been three years since the department last discharged
uncollectable delinquent unsecured tax accounts. The delinquent unsecured tax roll currently contains
1,408 tax accounts (businesses, mobile homes, boats, airplanes, mining claims, etc.)that the department
considers uncollectable debt. These accounts represent $479,072.25 in taxes and penalties. The majority
of the accounts included on the discharge list are unpaid business property tax assessments (mostly for
defunct or bankrupt entities), followed by supplemental or escaped bills on real property, and taxes
assessed on mobile homes, mining and mineral claims, boats, and aircraft. The delinquent unsecured
discharge process has been discussed with, and is supported by,the Butte County Auditor-Controller.

1312-003 Letter to US Forest Service Regional Forester Regarding Travel Management Subpart A - Many National
Forests, including the Plumas National Forest, is initiating Subpart A of the 2005 Travel Management
Rule. Subpart A is a process to identify existing "national forest system roads that are adequate for safe
and efficient access for recreation and resource management, while protecting natural and cultural
resources." Subpart A also identifies existing national forest system roads that should be closed. The
U.S. Forest Service claims that the Subpart A is not a decision document and does not trigger
environmental review pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Many counties have
concerns with the U.S. National Forest's proposed process for Subpart A and its decision to not include
the requirements of NEPA. Butte County has been intimately involved with the Plumas National Forest's
efforts to comply with the 2005 Travel Management Rule and has concerns with its process to comply
with Subpart A. Butte County staff believes that the Plumas National Forest's process to comply with
Subpart A needs to include compliance with NEPA and recommends that the Board send a letter to the
Region 5 Forester urging him to reconsider his decision.

1312-006 Letter to Governor Brown Regarding California Air Resources Board Truck and Bus Regulations -
Supervisor Wahl requests that the Board of Supervisors consider a letter to Governor Brown requesting
amendments to the California Air Resources Board's (CARB) Truck and Bus Regulation. Local trucking,
ranching and farming advocates have requested that the Board of Supervisors support their efforts to
do the following related to the Truck and Bus Regulation: delay compliance to 2023; request equal
access to funding to support compliance; ensure collaboration between the CARB, the California Energy
Commission and other branches of the California Environmental Protection Agency regarding
consequences of the regulation; allow competition to enter the market for compliant equipment; and
allow flexibility in the regulation, since "one size does not fit all."

1312-007 9:40 a.m. - Timed Item - Chico Seed Lending Library - The Chico Seed Lending Library (CSLL) is a new
program coming to the Chico Library branch. The CSLL will be a self-perpetuating collection of seeds
donated and shared by members of the general public, with the purpose of educating users about seed
saving and gardening, preserving genetic diversity in Butte County, developing locally-resilient plants,
and strengthening the public library's place at the center of the community. The program will be
managed by library staff and volunteers, and available free of charge to any Butte County Library card-
holder. In addition to the seeds themselves, the CSLL project will include educational programs, access
to excellent library materials, and, eventually, a teaching/demonstration garden on the premises
(projected summer 2014). CSLL is a partnership between Butte County Library, the Chico Permaculture
Guild, and the Grub Education Program and representatives will provide a brief presentation about the
new seed lending library.

1312-008 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Project Priority List 2013-2014 - The Economic
Development Administration (EDA) requires the 3CORE Economic Development District to complete a
five year planning document, the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), in order to
guide regional economic development efforts. 3CORE utilizes the CEDS to identify and prioritize public
works and other economic development projects within the District for their member jurisdictions. Part
of the CEDS document includes a list of priority economic development projects for each 3CORE
member jurisdiction. "Priority A" projects include those projects that are proposed to move forward in
the near term, "Priority B" projects include those that are proposed to move forward within the next
five years, and "Priority C" projects include those projects that are likely to move forward sometime in
the future. Taking into consideration the EDA's Investment Guidelines, and the 2012-2013 approved
Butte County CEDS priority project list, staff is recommending a 2013-2014 priority project list for
approval. When developing the priority project list, staff took into consideration the General Plan 2030
document, the County's Capital Improvement Program, and the Butte County Regional Economic
Development Strategy. Once approved, 3CORE will work with the County to pursue funding to assist in
meeting the County's project priority goals.
