The Lodge has offered to allow Library patrons to park in the Lodge parking lot and will allow construction of a drive between the Library and the Lodge. Staff recommends that with the construction of a drive, the Lodge patrons could utilize the Library parking when the Library is not active. To make the Paradise Library/ Lodge Parking Lot Transaction Project a reality,the Paradise Friends of the Library have offered to reimburse the County up to $40,000 to construct a drive between the two properties. To facilitate the project, staff requests that the Board adopt a resolution recognizing the contribution of the Paradise Friends of the Library and execute both the Memorandum of Understanding with the Friends of the Library and the site license agreement with the Lodge.

Several years ago, the concrete pool structure began to fail and a fiberglass liner was installed to enable the community to continue using the pool. Subsequently, the fiberglass liner began to fail and in 2011, after a limited response to a request for proposals issued by the County,the liner was patched. Now,the liner patches are failing and at some point the pool will need to be closed, repaired or replaced. General Services has completed a request for proposals from firms qualified to analyze the pool condition and determine the feasibility of repairing the existing pool. Of the proposals, The KPA Group was determined to be most qualified and proposed a price of $24,000 to provide the services outlined in the request for proposals. Staff is requesting that the Board approve a $30,000 budget adjustment from the available fund balance of approximately $252,143. This will allow General Services to negotiate and execute a contract consistent with the authority established in the current purchasing policy and will also provide funding for staff time and supplies needed to work with the community to evaluate the findings of the final report - action requested - APPROVE THE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 vote required). (General Services) 3.21 Contract Amendment with Holdredge and Kull - Subsequent to solicitation, the Board executed an agreement with Holdrege and Kull Consulting Engineers (H&K) on July 30, 2014, for construction quality assurance testing and special inspection services for the Butte County Hall of Records. So that H&K could be involved early on in the project,the not-to-exceed price of$71,033 on the original contract was based on construction drawings that were not final. Once final construction drawings were completed, the contract was amended to increase the not-to-exceed price by $1,687 to provide for inspections that became necessary. Now, during construction, unforeseen soil conditions and other minor plan changes of approximately 3% necessitate further inspection services from H&K. Staff recommends amending the contract to extend the planned termination date to September 30, 2015, and to increase the not-to- exceed price by $9,234.25, bringing the total not-to-exceed price to $81,954.25.

The extension provides for the completion of the training program and to provide additional time to finalize the draft policies and procedures for Board consideration. The Board waived the first reading of the proposed amendment and staff recommends that the Board now adopt the amendment to the Ordinance - action requested - ADOPT ORDINANCE AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (General Services) 3.23 Authorization to Acquire Real Property on Behalf of Behavioral Health for a Crisis Residential Treatment Center - On February 24, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved and authorized the General Services Director to negotiate the acquisition of the portion of APN 006-240-047 that contains 556 Cohasset Road, in Chico, so that Behavioral Health can open a Crisis Residential Center.

The $43,956 contract, with a planned termination date of August 11, 2017, included the provision to modify services and to utilize on-call services provided by the vendor. The increased efficiencies and effectiveness of the centralized program has been very successful and the contract was amended to increase the not-to- exceed price to $48,351 to cover newly added buildings. With the continued success of the program, staff wishes to add additional buildings and the not-to-exceed price is insufficient to meet the needs of the County for the balance of the term. General Services recommends approval of an additional amendment increasing the not-to exceed-price by $9,525 to a new not-to-exceed price of $57,876 to cover the addition of two buildings and additional on-call services that are anticipated.

The original switches were considered capital assets at the time of purchase due to their costs, and were capitalized with depreciation put in the IS Equipment Replacement Fund to pay for future replacement. The new switches do not meet the capital asset threshold, requiring the funds to be transferred from the Equipment Replacement Fund to the IS Department's budget to make the purchase.

This project would conduct a series of interviews with the GSA eligible agencies within the county and other appropriate stakeholders including, but not limited to, groundwater dependent water users, municipalities, and non-profit organizations to develop a report which includes all voices on this issue.This report will be used to launch further discussions regarding the designation of a GSA within the county, as well as the development of the GSP.

(MOTION: KIRK: SECOND: TEETER) VOTE: Motion carried 4-1 YEA: Supervisor Connelly, Supervisor Kirk, Supervisor Lambert, Supervisor Teeter NAY: Supervisor Wahl 4.04 Resolution of Intention and Adoption of Ordinance to Amend CalPERS Contract - Currently the Butte County In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority(Authority) and the County have separate contracts with CalPERS for the provision of pension benefits to retirees. Employees of the Authority are not considered County employees. Authority employees currently receive similar pay and benefits to County employees, but the terms and conditions of employment are governed by separate internal documents and procedures. Administering these different terms and conditions of employment for Authority employees has not proven to be efficient. To increase efficiency and flexibility, merging Authority employees into the County workforce is recommended. To do so, the separate CalPERS contracts of the Authority and County must be merged. An actuarial valuation was requested and provided by CalPERS detailing the cost of the proposed merger. In order to proceed with merging the contracts, the Board of Supervisors must first adopt the Resolution of Intention to Approve an Amendment to Contract Between the Board of Administration, California Public Employees' Retirement System and the County of Butte. Additionally, the Board must adopt an ordinance authorizing an amendment to that same contract - PAGE 12 BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES- 7/28/2015 action requested - 1) ADOPT RESOLUTION OF INTENTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND 2) WAIVE FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE.
