CONSENT AGENDA
3.01 Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Sections 23-12 to 23-20 of Article IV of the Ordinance Code of
Butte County - Records of Ownership of Nut Crops - The Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance
under the authority of the California Food and Agriculture Code Section 866 to protect the agriculture
industry of this County. The intent of this article update is to establish improved means of verifying
ownership of these specified agricultural commodities in order to prevent and deter theft of those
commodities, and to provide a means for local enforcement of laws and regulations pertaining to the
purchase and sale of these commodities. This amendment would require proper documentation of
such possession on forms approved by the Agricultural Commissioner. The amendment would
continue a walnut buying period, after which non-processing associated walnut buying operations may
take place. The walnut industry is particularly vulnerable to theft due to the manner in which nuts are
harvested from windrows. According to the Butte County 2012 Crop Report, there were 37,900
harvested acres of walnuts in Butte County with a market value of almost$234,000,000. This value will
only increase in the near future with more planted acres and higher commodity values. The acreage of
planted walnuts covers an expanse from the Tehama County border, to the Sacramento River, to
Durham, Gridley and the Sutter and Yuba County borders, which physically provides a daunting task for
law enforcement to patrol. This ordinance still provides a window of time to help law enforcement
focus its attention on other theft issues, such as metal and equipment theft, by eliminating roadside
buyers that set up locations with temporary equipment and often pay cash without proper proof of
ownership. The ordinance provides an updated definition of a "processor" for nut processing facilities.
The Board waived the first reading of the proposed ordinance at the meeting of August 26, 2014 -
action requested -ADOPT ORDINANCE AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Agriculture)
3.02 Adoption of Tax Rates for Fiscal Year (FY) 2014-15 - In accordance with Government Code Section

Butte County to lease five (5) units of housing for chronically homeless individuals diagnosed as being

homelessness to permanent housing and enable them to live as independently as possible. Approval is
requested for an agreement with HUD for Behavioral Health to receive the grant funding. The term of

3.08 Resolution Regarding Authorization and Allocation of Penalties Related to Title 8, Chapter 12 of the
California Government Code -Title 8, Chapter 12 of the Government Code (commencing with section
76000) allows counties to create several funds with specific purposes, and further allows counties to
levy specific penalties on various offenses for the benefit of these funds. The funds include the
Courthouse Construction Fund (CCF), the Criminal Justice Facilities Construction Fund (CJFCF), and the
Emergency Medical Services Fund (EMSF). The CCF is used to accumulate funds for the acquisition,
construction, and maintenance of courthouse buildings and related facilities. The Trial Court Facilities
Act of 2002 transferred the responsibility of providing court facilities from the counties to the State,
thereby eliminating the need for counties to accumulate courthouse construction funds, except for the
repayment of debt obligations related to such facilities already incurred. Once such debt obligations
PAGE 2
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES - 9/9/2014
are retired, any monies remaining in the CCF must be remitted to the State and certain penalties are to
be reduced. Butte County's debt related to courthouse facilities was fully retired as of July 1, 2014,
thus necessitating the following actions: 1) reaffirm the need for the CJFCF; 2) direct allocation of
penalties on criminal offenses to the CJFCF and the EMSF; 3) direct the Auditor-Controller to close the
CCF and remit any balance and amounts that accrue beginning July 1, 2014 to the State; 4) request
that, beginning on October 1, 2014, the Clerk of the Court discontinue allocating a fee assessment
mandated by statute to the CCF and begin allocating the fee assessment to the county General Fund;
and 5) reduce the amount of penalties added to parking offenses for the benefit of the County, per
State requirements. The actions are taken through the adoption of a resolution - action requested -

resolution to amend the Salary Ordinance for the following departments: County Counsel, Behavioral

of the Salary Ordinance to be amended:
County Counsel: request to flexibly staff one (1) position of Deputy County Counsel III/11/1 to Deputy
County Counsel IV/III/11/1. This change will allow the department more flexibility and create consistency
among their current allocations. Any increase in costs associated with this change will be covered in

Clinical Assistant Director, the department will have greater oversight of clinical services and bring the
span of control to a more manageable level. Funding for this change is included within the
department's adopted FY 2014-15 Budget. This change will leave the total allocations in the
department unchanged and have no fiscal impact on the County General Fund.
General Services: request to add one (1) position of Courier. This increase in allocation will be
temporary until an expected vacancy can be deleted at a future Board meeting. This change will have

3.19 Concow Road Rehabilitation From State Route 70 to End of Pavement (Federal Aid Project No. 10-DRI-
6785) (County Project No.52515-A1-2013-1) - Contract Change Order No. 1 - On June 10, 2014 the
Board of Supervisors awarded the contract for the Concow Road Rehabilitation to Knife River
Construction (KRC) in the amount of $1,761,837. Construction has started with the installation of
underground drainage improvements. The preliminary design and scoping for this project was done in
2011. The subsequent logging of the areas burned during the 2008 fires with heavy logging trucks has
resulted in even more damage to Concow Road than was originally identified. As a result, much more
of the roadway section needs to be repaired and repaved. The current condition of the roadway
suggests that about 50%of the road may need repairs. At the bid prices contained in the contract,the
dollar value of road repair would exceed the total amount of funds authorized by the grant. To only do
the work originally estimated would result in a road that consists of a chip seal over an inadequately
repaired roadway. The end result would be the premature failure of the newly surfaced road. The
contractor has made a proposal that addresses the current conditions of the road and has proposed
pulverizing and re-grading and compacting the entire roadway surface and then placing approximately
3 inches of asphalt overlay over this surface. The Department of Public Works agrees that this proposal
will result in a superior final product. Contract Change Order No. 1 decreases various contract items
totaling $960,456.60 and provides additional work totaling $1,722,420 for an overall increase of
$761,963.40. Staff has worked with our CDBG grant administrator to confirm that all additional work is
eligible for the grant funds - action requested - APPROVE CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)

4.06 Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) - Post-Retirement Employment Exemption - The PERS
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 & 21224" that must be submitted to CALPERS. Requested is approval of a
certification resolution to allow the extra-help hiring of Sandee Renault as a Physician's Assistant for
the Public Health Department. Sandee Renault is scheduled to retire as a regular-help employee on
September 12, 2014. The proposed extra-help hire date is September 13, 2014. The position of
Physician's Assistant 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. Recruitments for a Physician's Assistant or Certified Nurse Practitioner
are currently running. 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, Sandee Renault
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) ADOPT RESOLUTION AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Health)

Public Hearings and Timed Items
5.01 9:30 a.m. - Public Hearing - Submittal of a Supplemental Activities Request for State Community
Development Block Grant Agreement 12-CDBG-8374 - As of July 1, 2014, the State Department of
Housing and Community Development implemented changes to the Program Income (PI) and the
Revolving Loan Account (RLA) policies in the State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program. The policy changes require the Butte County Housing RLA to be converted to PI and used first
to fund open grant activities when funds are available.The policy changes allow Butte County to amend
current active contracts to add Supplemental Activities, which allows awarded grant funds that have
been supplanted by PI to be used for programs and projects identified by the County. Since the
requirement of using PI first will likely result in contract funds being leftover in the contract, leftover
funding will roll to the Supplemental Activities, allowing the County an opportunity to complete
additional CDBG eligible activities so that awarded funds are not lost due to having PI. Butte County has
PAGE 8

an open grant agreement, 12-CDBG-8374, with the CDBG Program. The Administration Department, on
behalf of Butte County, recommends submitting a Supplemental Activity Request to add "Housing
Rehabilitation for Single Family Homes in the unincorporated area of Butte County" in the amount of
$80,000 as an eligible Supplemental Activity to the open CDBG grant, 12-CDBG-8374. The Board's

5.02 9:35 a.m. - Timed Item - Southside Oroville Community Center Sustainability Program - The Southside
Oroville Community Center (SOCC) was constructed in 2002, utilizing several diverse funding sources.
Many of the funding sources included terms and conditions that specified the purpose and use of the
facility. Subsequent to the construction, the Private Industry Council (PIC) managed the SOCC on behalf
of the County until 2011. Following management by the PIC,the County has contracted with The Hignell
Companies to manage the SOCC. The costs to manage the facility have outpaced revenue generation,
and the County has been forced to subsidize the SOCC. Over the past several months, County staff has
been working with the Facility Manager and the SOCC Advisory Committee to develop a Sustainability
Program for the SOCC. The goal of the program is to create opportunities for the community to become
better served by the SOCC, increase facility rentals, increase facility revenues, and develop a plan for
long term maintenance of the SOCC. The Sustainability Program includes three components: 1) Facility
Reserve Analysis; 2) Marketing Program; and 3) Community Empowerment Program -action requested -
