3. CONSENT AGENDA
3.47 Letter of Support - Application for Sole Community Hospital Status by Enloe Medical Center - At
the request of Supervisor Lucero, a letter of support for Enloe Medical Center's application to
the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, for approval of Sole Community Hospital status.
More Medicare patients are now being treated at Enloe Medical Center due to the loss of Feather
River Hospital in Paradise and other care facilities in the region. Obtaining such status would help
keep Enloe Medical Center financially viable through certain payment enhancements and
protections — action requested - APPROVE LETTER AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Board
of Supervisors — District 2)
3.48 Match Commitment Letters for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) Applications - Butte
County submitted 31 Notices of Interest (NOI) to the Governor's Office of Emergency Services
(Cal OES) through the HMGP for the Hazard Mitigation Grant DR -4407 (California Wildfires). The
Board of Supervisors considered priority projects for the program on June 11, 2019 and directed
staff to proceed with application for nine projects. The Skyway road project has since been
determined ineligible. The project to increase the size of culverts on lower Honey Run Road will
be addressed when roadway improvements are made in the future. Staff does not recommend
submission of an application for those two projects. The remaining seven priority projects
submitted by the County were determined to represent eligible HMGP activities and Butte
County has been invited to submit full applications for funding. Each grant requires a 25% local
match. Staff recommends the Board approve funding match commitment letters for each of the
projects listed below and authorize the Chair to sign.
1). Palermo Drainage Improvements
2) Rock Creek, Nord Resilient Flood Improvements
3) Butte County Road Maintenance District No. 6 Roadway Drainage
4) County Road Fuels Reduction
5) Butte County Emergency Notification System

BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA -JUNE 25, 2019
3.49 Cash Advance for Butte County Employment and Social Services - The Department of
Employment and Social Services receives many different sources of funding. The Department
receives some funding through a monthly advance from the State and others on a
reimbursement basis. At the end of June 2019, the Department will experience a cash flow
shortage. The shortage is primarily due to a delay in the timing of State payments and the use of
the Department's fund balance for the new Chico facility. In recent years, the Department used
the fund balance to cover any delay in State payments. However, with the completion of the
project, the fund balance has been depleted. A cash shortage has occurred in the past in both
the Department of Employment and Social Services and the Department of Behavioral Health.
The Department is projecting the cash shortage to be $2,500,000 at June 30, 2019, though this
will vary based on actual transactions. The Department, County Administration, and the Auditor -
Controller recommend approval of a cash advance from the Public Health Fund to the Social
Services Fund to eliminate the cash deficit as of June 30, 2019. The advance will be transferred
back to the Public Health Fund on July 1, 2019 — action requested - AUTHORIZE AN ADVANCE
FROM PUBLIC HEALTH FUND TO SOCIAL SERVICES FUND TO COVER THE CASH SHORTAGE ON
JUNE 30, 2019. (Employment and Social Services)
