THE ITEM WILL RETURN ON A FUTURE AGENDA. 1317-002 CONSENT AGENDA 1. Budget Adjustment - First 5 Funding - The First 5 Children & Families Commission (Commission) was developed out of state legislation, creating funding for early childhood development, health care, parent education, and other programs that improve services for families with children from a prenatal stage through age five. Butte County Department of Behavioral Health (BCDBH) recently entered into an agreement with the Commission for services related to Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder (PMAD) counseling. The Commission currently reimburses BCDBH for non-Medi-Cal services for PMAD counseling and in addition provides local matching funds for the Medi-Cal services. Approval is requested for a budget adjustment for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013-14 adding $74,000 in First 5 funding to be utilized as required by the agreement. 2. Appointment to the Butte County Planning Commission - Supervisor Teeter nominates Alan White to fill a vacant seat as District 5 Planning Commissioner. The term will end January 2, 2017. 3. The Ferguson Group - The agreement with The Ferguson Group, the County's federal legislative advocate, expires on September 30, 2013. Staff recommends an amendment to the current agreement that retains costs, terms and conditions of the existing agreement and extends the agreement through September 30, 2014. The cost of the agreement remains at $120,000, plus up to $8,000 for travel to Washington, D.C. on the County's behalf and related expenses. Funds have been budgeted for this purpose in the Administration Department's budget. Over the past nine years, The Ferguson Group has worked with the County's congressional delegation and secured over $33 million for priority projects in Butte County. Details regarding the successful partnership between Butte County and The Ferguson Group are included in the staff report. As discussed with the Board of Supervisors at last year's legislative presentation, and in-line with our regional approach to economic development,the County is continuing to explore federal representation that will be more regional in nature. It is anticipated that a different contractual relationship may be brought forward next year for Board consideration that will reflect a more regional vision and potentially reduce costs to the County.

At the end of the fiscal year,the project balance of approximately$11,671 (AB 109 funds) remained in the restricted fund balance of the Capital Project Fund. It has been determined that phase two is appropriate, and staff is requesting $11,671 of restricted fund balance in the Capital Project Fund be appropriated in FY 2013-14 to complete that second phase of the project. 8. Revised Butte County Travel and Business Reimbursable Expenses Policy - The Department of Human Resources and the Auditor/Controller's Office coordinated the proposed revision of the County's Travel Policy to provide clarity, to update the County's current practices, and to change the way meals are reimbursed while traveling on behalf of the County.

Adoption of Salary and Benefits Resolution for Elected Department Heads - In an effort to reflect the Public Employee Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) that went into effect on January 1, 2013, the Salary and Benefits Resolution for Elected Department Heads has been revised to include language outlining the impacts of PEPRA on CalPERS retirement plans. The revised resolution includes language that distinguishes between what PEPRA refers to as "Classic Members" and "New Members". Among other items, the revised language includes the various retirement formulas for new members (2% @ 62 Misc; 2% @ 57 Safety);final compensation for retirement calculation for new members (highest 3 year average PAGE 2 BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES- 9/24/2013 annual compensation); and retirement contribution for new members (one half the normal cost of the CalPERS pension). In addition, the resolution increases the retirement contribution level for those Elected Department Heads who are "Classic Members," effective the pay period including January 1, 2015,from 5%to 7%for "non-safety" classifications; and from 5%to 9%for"safety" classifications. 10. Resolution to Amend The Salary Ordinance - The Department of Human Resources has prepared a resolution to amend the Salary Ordinance. These changes will initially increase the total allocations by one (1) position in the Sheriff's Office until a departmental recruitment is conducted at which time the vacated position will be deleted at a future meeting. The following are the sections of the Salary Ordinance to be amended: Behavioral Health:The Behavioral Health Department is requesting to delete one (1) vacant position of Behavioral Health Counselor II/Behavioral Health Counselor I/Behavioral Health Worker and add one (1) Behavioral Health Clinician III/II/I position. Clinicians are needed within the Department's AB109 Program to assist with assessments and treatment needs. Funding for this change is within the Department's FY 2013-2014 budget. The department will absorb increased costs in future years with increased Medi-Cal funding within the AB109 Program due to eligibility changes associated with healthcare reform. These changes will leave the total allocations in the department unchanged and have no fiscal impact on the County General Fund. Human Resources: The Human Resources Department is requesting to delete the classifications of Director, Public Health Nursing (bi- weekly salary: $2,783.03-$3,729.54) and Director, Environmental Health (bi-weekly salary: $2,852.61- $3,822.77) and add the classification of Division Director, Public Health with a bi-weekly salary of $2,852.61-$3,822.77 (Class Code 4004) on Section 57, Reference E of the Salary Ordinance titled, "Management, Confidential and Supervisory (BCMEA) Unit Classifications". These changes have been agreed to by Human Resources and the applicable Employee Association. Public Health: Concurrent with Human Resources request above, the Public Health Department is requesting to add two (2) positions of Division Director, Public Health; delete one (1) position of Director, Public Health Nursing; and delete one (1) position of Director, Environmental Health. The incumbent in each of the positions being deleted will be moved into the new Division Director, Public Health positions. These changes are a result of the combining, retitling and updating of the job descriptions for division managers within the department. The small increase in costs associated with this change will be covered in the Department's budget. These changes will leave the total allocation unchanged and have no fiscal impact on the County General Fund. Sheriff: The Sheriff's Office is requesting to add one (1) position of Crime Prevention Coordinator. This position is needed to better meet the current and future organizational needs of the department. This change will initially increase the allocations in the department by one (1) position until a departmental recruitment can be conducted to fill the new position. Once the departmental recruitment is complete, the position that was vacated will be eliminated at a future Board meeting. Any increase in costs associated with this change will be covered in the Department's budget. 11.

This CFD is authorized under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 as amended by Senate Bill No. 555 (SB 555).

No property will be annexed into the CFD or subject to any part of this property without the express willing unanimous consent of the property owner(s). The Resolution of Intention to form the CFD was approved by the Board of Supervisors on August 13, 2013. At that time, the Board set September 24, 2013 as the public hearing date for consideration of the Resolution of Formation of the CFD. However, due the fact that the map depicting the proposed boundaries of the CFD was not recorded within the time frame required by California Streets and Highways Code, the public hearing will be continued to October 8, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. JENNIFER MACARTHY, COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANAGER, PROVIDED A BRIEF REPORT. THIS ITEM WAS CONTINUED TO THE OCTOBER 8, 2013 BOARD MEETING. THERE WAS NO ACTION TAKEN TODAY. 1317-008 9:40 a.m. - Public Hearing - Ole Persson Application for Outdoor Festival License (Shiner Fetival) - RFD13-0016 - Ole Persson previously submitted an application for an Outdoor Festival License per Chapter 12, Article III. Outdoor Festivals (BCC §12-25 - 12-33), that was approved by the Board of Supervisors on July 30, 2013. The festival (Shiner Festival) was originally scheduled for 3:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Friday, August 30, 2013 and Saturday, August 31, 2013. Due to the recent fires and air quality concerns, the Festival's organizers were not able to obtain the required insurance and have therefore requested a new date of Saturday, November 9, 2013, for a one-day festival from 3:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. They will have approximately 40 employees/volunteers, 35 musicians/artists, 4 vendors and anticipate 200 - 250 spectators.

The revised festival application was circulated to affected County departments and other agencies for their comments and requirements.

(MOTION: KIRK; SECOND:TEETER) VOTE: Motion APPROVED 5 -0 PUBLIC COMMENT (each speaker limited to five minutes) (NONE) 1317-009 10:00 a.m. -Timed Item - Proposed Revisions to Butte County Code, Chapter 13, Article 1, Grading - The County's original grading ordinance was adopted in 1989 and revised in 2009. The existing ordinance requires a grading permit for any work moving more than 50 cubic yards of dirt. The ordinance also has a list of activities that are exempt from being required to obtain a grading permit. Any proposed grading that exceeds 1,000 cubic yards is required to apply for a discretionary grading permit through the Butte County Planning Commission. In addition, the amended ordinance now allows the Director of Public Works to exempt grading projects between 50-1,000 cubic yards on a case by case basis through a process termed a Determination of Exemption.This past spring, the Public Works Department received numerous complaints regarding grading activity. Upon investigation, most of these sites were determined to be unpermitted grading work, many in excess of 1,000 cubic yards. Enforcement efforts are proceeding on these unpermitted grading sites. A number of the unpermitted grading sites requested a Determination of Exemption from Public Works. Because of the number and magnitude of the grading sites and exemption requests, all were denied. The Determination of Exemption process has caused issues and concerns from local contractors, property owners, as well as Public Works staff, because the process is not well documented and provides little or no guidance on what projects should be determined to be exempt. The Public Works Department recommends that the Board consider revisions to the existing grading ordinance to address the unpermitted grading activities witnessed this spring and summer, as well as the uncertainties of the Determination of Exemption process. The staff report for this agenda provides recommendations and options for the Board to consider on a number of issues, including: the definition of grading, the Determination of Exemption process, ministerial vs. discretionary permits, grading plan design, and grading permit exemptions.
