Supervisors adopted a resolution approving a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) agreement between

assistance is needed for the newly formed JPA to perform its duties associated with getting BCEA
structured and operational to be able to provide energy for the unincorporated area of the County

out of General Fund Appropriations for Contingencies. These funds will be paid back to the
County once BCEA has become operational and revenues permit, typically 18-24 months after
BCEA is operational — action requested — 1) APPROVE CONTRACT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO

5. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS
5.07 1:30 PM - Timed Item - Introduction and Adoption of an Ur2encv Ordinance Amending Chapter
53 "Camp Fire Recoverv" Amending the Private Tree Program to Permit Owners to Temporarily
Retain and Utilize Felled Hazard Trees in a Fire Safe Manner - Pursuant to California Government
Code sections 25123(d) and 25131, County Administration and County Counsel recommend the
Board of Supervisors adopt an urgency ordinance regarding the removal of hazard trees related
to the Camp Fire of 2018. The urgency ordinance would take effect immediately. The urgency
ordinance amends the requirements of the Private Tree Program to allow property owners to
temporarily retain and promptly utilize felled Hazard Trees. The owner is required to utilize the
felled Hazard Trees prior to the Enforcing Officer's compliance inspection on the property. The
owner is required to meet fire prevention requirements in retaining and utilizing the Hazard Trees,
including maintaining setbacks and broadcasting wood chips to a depth of no greater than three
inches. If an owner's retention and utilization of felled Hazard Trees constitutes a fire hazard, is it
a public nuisance and may be abated using any available legal remedies. Owners may not receive
felled trees from other properties, and any temporary retention and utilization of felled Hazard
Trees are not Temporary Log Storage Yards (aka Log Decks) as described in Chapter 53 — action
requested - 1) WAIVE THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE ENTITLED, "AN URGENCY
ORDINANCE OF THE COUNTY OF BUTTE AMENDING SECTION 53-86 TO CHAPTER 53 ENTITLED,
"CAMP FIRE RECOVERY," OF THE BUTTE COUNTY CODE"; AND 2) ADOPT URGENCY ORDINANCE
AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration/ County Counsel)
