CORRECTIONS AND/OR CHANGES TO THE AGENDA. (NONE)
1321-001 CONSENT AGENDA
1. Tri County Treatment - Amendment B - Tri County Treatment is a drug rehabilitation facility where
persons suffering from chemical dependency can re-establish their lives in a structured, private live-in
facility.Tri County Treatment specializes in residential short-term (30 days or less) and residential long-
term (30 days or more) substance abuse treatment programs. Approval is requested to amend the
agreement with Tri County Treatment to provide additional residential services and alcohol and drug
free housing needed for client placements through FY 2013-14.The term of this agreement is extended
and will terminate on June 30, 2014 as a result of competitive solicitation. The maximum financial
obligation under this agreement shall not exceed $111,565.43 (this is an increase of$20,872.52 for FY
2013-14).
2. Funding Assistance Agreement with Butte County Fair Association - In December 2012, the Board of
Supervisors approved a $75,000 funding assistance agreement with the Fair Association for calendar
year 2013 due to the elimination of State funding for fairs throughout the State. The one-year funding
assistance agreement required the Fair Association to provide a business plan to the County by
September 30, 2013 showing financial stability within three years.To date in 2013, the Fair Association
has been able to cover its costs with a combination of annual revenues and net profits from prior
years, and did not have to access any of the funding assistance provided by the County. The County
received the business plan, which reflects realistic goals for enhancing annual revenues and reducing
annual costs, along with an intriguing plan for long-term viability of the Fairgrounds. A presentation of
this plan will be provided at a future Board meeting. Based on the business plan provided, and the fact
that the Fair Association has not had to utilize the funds in 2013, staff recommends that the Board
consider a $50,000 funding assistance agreement as a safety net for the Fair Association for calendar
year 2014. The Fair Association does not anticipate needing to access any safety net funding prior to
July 1, 2014, so no additional appropriations are needed in the FY 2013-14 budget. If funding assistance
is approved by the Board of Supervisors, it will be included in the FY 2014-15 Recommended Budget.
3. Amendment to Employment Contract - Director, Employment and Social Services - Board approval of a
third amendment to the contract with Cathi Grams, Director, Employment and Social Services, is
requested. Cathi Grams has agreed to serve as the Interim Behavioral Health Director for a term up to
six months from November 30, 2013 through May 31, 2014. Compensation for the additional
assignment will be 35% above Ms. Grams' base pay, which is $159,558.10, for an additional monthly
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES - 11/12/2013
payment of$4,653.78 during the period she serves in the temporary assignment. The monthly rate will
be pro-rated for any partial month worked.There are no commensurate changes in benefits associated
with this temporary assignment.
4. Authorize Amendment to Contract with Access Information Management - The District Attorney's
Office currently uses Access Information Management to provide secure shredding services. An
amendment to the contract is requested to continue the statutorily required service. The end date of
the current contract is June 30, 2013. The District Attorney's office wishes to revise the completion
date of the contract to June 30, 2014, and increase the not-to-exceed price by $2,300. The total not-
to-exceed amount of$16,664 is over the seven year life of the contract.
5. Community Cost Share Account and Resolution - The fire department is requesting that the Board of
Supervisors approve changes in the Community Cost Share Program (CCSP) that improve the fire
department's ability to purchase new fire equipment to deploy to volunteer companies throughout the
county. The requested changes will reduce the average age of the Butte County Fire Department
(BCFD) volunteer-operated fire apparatus fleet and maintenance costs. The fire department is also
requesting that up to $10,000 per year may be withdrawn from the CCSP specifically to aid in the
maintenance of BCFD volunteer company operated fire apparatus. Specific changes to the CCSP are as
follows: 1) Change the current cost share ratio from 50% CCSP funds-50%volunteer company funds to
95% CCSA funds-5% volunteer company funds; 2) Allow the 5% company amount to include in-kind
contributions by the company. This would allow a company with difficulty raising the 5%cost share to
provide in-kind contributions such as equipment and/or personnel time to help get the new apparatus
in service. In-kind contributions would be approved by the BCFD Fire Chief on a case by case basis; 3)
Allow the BCFD to use up to $10,000 of CCSP funds per fiscal year to assist specifically with
maintenance of the BCFD volunteer company operated equipment; and 4) At no time will the CCSP
account be allowed to go below$250,000 without approval from the Board of Supervisors.
6. Award of Contract for Countywide Fire System Testing and Maintenance - Every three years, General
Services Staff requests quotations for fire system testing and monitoring services. These services
include cleaning, examining and adjusting building fire protection system components on various
County buildings. On August 20, 2013, an Invitation for Bid was issued. Three firms responded, with
quoted prices for the three years of service ranging from $59,700 to $315,364. Wilgus Fire Control, Inc.
was the lowest responsive bidder, with a three-year cost of$59,700, and an annual cost of$19,900,for
the seventeen County Buildings to be serviced. The term of the agreement is December 1, 2013
through November 30, 2016.
7. Budget Adjustment for Behavioral Health Department, 109 Parmac Road Facility Modifications - The
Behavioral Health Department has requested a facility modification for their administrative area
located at 109 Parmac Road in Chico.The changes in this leased facility are necessary to accommodate
additional space that has been acquired, and to provide for greater employee efficiency. These
modifications will provide access between the three suites, new fire rated doors, and a path of travel
between Suite 1 and Suite 2. In addition, a new Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) will be installed to
better support the Department's critical servers and digital data in the event of power failure.
Construction costs are estimated at $40,600 and funds are available in the FY 2013-14 Behavioral
Health budget.

8. Budget Adjustment for the Probation Juvenile Hall Security System Upgrade - On April 23, 2013, the
Board of Supervisors approved a contract with P2 ABC Controls to construct security system
improvements to the Juvenile Hall facility at 41 County Center Drive. These improvements include
upgrades to the Central Control Room, upgrades to the Programmable Logic Controller, installation of
133 cameras and the installation of proximity cards and electronic access control components. It was
anticipated that the first milestone of the project, with an associated cost of $32,000 would be
completed and paid for by the end of FY 2012-13. However, as the project developed, the work was
not completed by the end of the fiscal year, and the $32,000 associated with the project was not re-
appropriated in the current fiscal year. The project will be funded by Youth Offender Block Grant
restricted cash. No General Fund resources are necessary.
9. Award of Contract with Disability Access Consultants for Updating the County Accessibility Self-
Evaluation and Transition Plan - In 1998, and in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA), the County completed an Accessibility Self-Evaluation and a Transition Plan to identify existing
barriers to accessibility and to establish a plan to improve access to County facilities for the public and
for employees. Since that time, the County has completed approximately $3,000,000 in projects
specifically addressing barriers to accessibility. In addition, the County has continued to identify new
opportunities to improve accessibility and has dedicated a portion of all construction-related project
funding to improving accessibility throughout the County. The original Self-Evaluation and Transition
Plan have become nearly obsolete and require updating. Staff recommends awarding a $59,850
contract to Disability Access Consultants, a local accessibility firm specializing in ADA and California
Accessibility compliance (Title 24, Part I, Volume I, Chapter IIB), to update County plans. Under the
terms of the agreement, Disability Access Consultants will inspect County facilities, develop a gap
analysis, and assist the County in obtaining public input and in developing a Transition Plan to help the
County implement improvements. Funding for this project comes from a Community Development
Block Grant and is included in the General Services FY 2013-14 budget and no additional appropriation
is required.
10. Lease Origination - 1370 Ridgewood Drive, Chico Suite 22, with The Garian Partnership for Occupancy
by the Butte County Department of Probation - Butte County Department of Probation, through its
Community Counseling Center located in Oroville, has been providing a variety of educational
programs to address barriers to employment and acceptance. This vocational training offers
community service programs, life skills, substance abuse classes,family support and education, all with
the goal to reduce recidivism and to assist these individuals with a successful transition back into the
community. The Department now seeks to expand these services in Chico with the addition of a new
leased facility located at 1370 Ridgewood Drive. The new lease is for approximately 4,000 square feet
of office space, with a rate that will remain fixed at$0.80 per square foot,for a total monthly payment
of $3,200 over the 3 year term. The term of the agreement is December 16, 2013 through December
31, 2016, and includes the option to extend for an additional sixty-month period. Funding for this lease
is included in the FY 2013-14 budget and no additional appropriation in required.
11. Resolution to Amend The Salary Ordinance - The Department of Human Resources has prepared a
resolution to amend the Salary Ordinance. These changes will leave the total allocations in the County
unchanged. The following are the sections of the Salary Ordinance to be amended:
PAGE 3
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES - 11/12/2013
DESS: The Department of Employment & Social Services is requesting to extend a current limited term
position of Administrative Analyst, Senior/Administrative Analyst/Administrative Analyst, Associate
from December 31, 2013 to June 30, 2014. This position continues to be needed to provide continued
oversight of the IHSS Case Management and Payrolling System (CMIPS II) implementation activities.
Funding for this position is fully covered through CMIPS II Implementation Allocations provided by the
State. 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 classification of
Behavioral Health Forensic Clinician (bi-weekly salary: $1,740.86-$2,332.91) from Section 57,
Reference E of the Salary Ordinance titled, "Management, Confidential and Supervisory (BCMEA) Unit
Classifications" and add the classifications of Behavioral Health Forensic Clinician I (bi-weekly salary:
$1,616.56-$2,166.35); Behavioral Health Forensic Clinician II (bi-weekly salary: $1,740.86-$2,332.91);
and Supervisor, Psychiatric Nurse (bi-weekly salary: $2,341.27-$3,137.54). These changes have been
agreed to by Human Resources and the applicable Employee Association.
Behavioral Health: Concurrent with Human Resources' request above, the Behavioral Health
Department is requesting to delete one vacant position of Behavioral Health Forensic Clinician and add
one flexibly staffed Behavioral Health Forensic Clinician II/I. This change in classification will give the
department greater success when recruiting for applicants with experience in the forensic field. In
addition the department requests to delete one position of Supervisor, Nurse/Staff Nurse, Senior and
add one position of Supervisor, Psychiatric Nurse. This new classification was created to allow the
department the ability to attract more nursing candidates that have previous experience in the
psychiatric field. Any increase in costs associated with this change will be covered in the department's
FY 2013-14 budget. These changes will leave the total allocations in the department unchanged and
have no fiscal impact on the County General Fund.
12. Immunization Assistance Program Agreement - The California Department of Public Health has made
available 100% federal funding in the amount of $256,044 for the Immunization Assistance Program.
The funds will be utilized to cover specific activities that will raise the immunization levels of infants,
preschool age and school age children. Prevention, surveillance and outbreak control activities will
reduce illness, disability and death due to vaccine preventable diseases such as polio, diphtheria,
tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B and many others. The term of the agreement is July 1, 2013 through
June 30, 2017 with a maximum amount receivable of$256,044($64,011 per fiscal year).
13. Grant Agreement with State of California Department of Public Health for Oversight and Enforcement
of Small Public Water Systems - Approval is requested for a revenue agreement in the amount of
$270,000 with the State of California Department of Public Health (CDPH)for the provision of oversight
and enforcement of federal and state regulations on small public water systems (less than 200 service
connections) located within Butte County. Funds can be used over multiple years until depleted to
help offset costs related to the permitting, inspection, monitoring, electronic reporting of data to the
State, etc. relating to the 93 small public water systems that Public Health has been assigned oversight.
In order to receive funding, that the State is requesting that the following three documents be
approved: 1) Local Primacy Delegation Agreement (LPDA):This agreement formalizes the delegation of
oversight responsibility and required duties from the State to Public Health. This agreement
supersedes the current LPDA that has been in place since 1993; 2) Grant Funding Agreement: This
agreement describes the milestones that Public Health must meet in order to receive the $270,000 in
PAGE 4
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES - 11/12/2013
funding and what purposes that funding may be used for in the future. The Grant Funding Agreement
also requires the County enter into a Fiscal Agent Agreement; 3) Fiscal Agent Agreement: The Grant
Funding Agreement requires that a Fiscal Agent enter into a Fiscal Agent Agreement with CDPH to be
contractually obligated to hold the grant funds in a restricted account and to only withdraw the money
when directed to do so by CDPH.The Auditor-Controller has agreed to fill the role of Fiscal Agent. Each
of the three agreements is subject to review by County Counsel and the Auditor-Controller.
14. Adoption of Plans and Specifications for the Construction of North County Public Works Yard - The
existing Public Works (PW) facility, located at the intersection of 20th and Locust Streets in the City of
Chico, was purchased in 1923 and was last remodeled in 1946. The improvements are past the end of
useful life and the site is unable to support the needs of the department, even with further
remodeling. The Butte County Capital Improvement Program (CIP) provides for a replacement facility,
and in March of 2002 the department purchased an unimproved 2.66 acre parcel on Bellarmine Court
in South Chico for use as the new North County Public Works Facility. In February of 2012,the Board of
Supervisors approved a contract with Nichols, Melburg & Rossetto, a Chico Architectural and
Engineering firm,to work with Public Works and General Services to design the facility. The goal of the
design team was to deliver a facility that was equivalent to a "Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design" (LEED) Silver level of quality in accordance with General Plan 2030. Because of the unique LEED
equivalent design challenges for the large (60% of the building footprint) vehicle shop area with its
numerous roll up doors, the design team was unable to reach its goal. However, the project exceeds
the Green Building Code requirements and incorporates innovative products and processes to adhere
to the principals of environmental sustainability. Additional information on the facilities LEED
equivalency can be found in the staff report. At this time, Public Works and General Services
recommends adoption of the plans and specifications (available in General Services Office), authorize
General Services to advertise and solicit bids for the project, and appoint the Director, General
Services, or his designee, Officer of the Project.
15. Agreement with Crowe Horwath for Refuse Collection Rate Study-On June 14, 2011 and December 11,
2012, the Board of Supervisors directed staff to work with the County licensed waste collection
companies regarding the establishment of franchised collection areas that would result in additional
waste delivered to the County-owned and operated Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF).
Increased revenues generated from the associated gate fees are necessary to meet the objectives
stated in the NRRWF Strategic Plan. To date, the County's consultant (NewPoint Group/Crowe
Horwath) has reviewed and tested the licensed waste hauler's customer data, identified proposed
franchised service areas based on a concept of revenue neutrality for each of the three County licensed
waste haulers, assisted staff with negotiations with each waste hauler, developed a rate methodology
and draft franchise agreements. The consultant has analyzed each hauler's existing collection rates
within each of the three proposed franchise service areas and determined that a range of collection
rates exist in some areas. The consultant and staff discussed the issue and decided that rather than
take an average rate, or some other calculation based on current rates, it would be appropriate to
conduct a study to determine a base year collection fee for each service area based on the cost and
level of service according to the proposed rate methodology. After the negotiated franchise
agreements are completed and a proposed base year collection fee calculated, staff could then bring a
complete package to the Board for consideration.The cost of the agreement is $44,980 for FY 2013-14.
To fund the agreement, a budget transfer from the NRRWF Fund Balance of$44,980 is needed.

16. Technical Advisory Committee Appointment-The Groundwater Conservation ordinance (Chapter 33 of
the Butte County Code) has provisions regarding the membership of the Technical Advisory Committee
(TAC) and how its members are appointed. The ordinance defines the TAC as a seven person
committee nominated by the Butte County Water Commission and appointed by the Board. TAC
members must have substantial expertise in water management or hydrology. A vacancy on the TAC
resulted from the resignation of one of its members, Matt Colwell. On November 6, the Butte County
Water Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the Board of Supervisors appoint Eric Miller
to the TAC.
17. Appointments in Lieu of Election - Various Special Districts - In the districts where candidate(s) filed a
declaration of candidacy for an office that did not exceed the number of positions to be filled,
California Elections Code section 10515 (a), provides that the Board of Supervisors appoint the
nominees who filed, rather than requiring an election. The following special districts have certified that
the number of persons who filed Declarations of Candidacy for positions of Director did not exceed the
number of positions to be filled: Biggs-West Gridley Water District, Butte Water District, Drainage
District No. 200, Lake Madrone Water District, Reclamation District No. 833, Richvale Irrigation District,
Sacramento River Reclamation District, and the Western Canal Water District. It is requested that the
Board appoint the nominees who are listed in the staff report. The nominees who are appointed will
take office at noon on December 6, 2013 for the new term and serve exactly as if elected.

server on which it was located is unavailable. The Information Systems Department has worked
with the Department of Development Services to create a new parcel lookup system, which will be
maintained by County staff. The system provides a map-based graphic user interface and up-to-
date aerial imagery and topographic mapping. A parcel lookup system is an important service
offered by Butte County to property owners, the real estate industry, builders and developers.
System users are able to enter either the address or Assessor's Parcel Number of a property and
receive information including: its location in a city or the unincorporated County; County
Supervisor; General Plan and zoning information; floodplain and floodway mapping information;
and fire responsibility areas.
