3.04 Budget Adjustment and Contract with Best, Best and Krieger for Legal Services for Butte Choice
Energy Authority — On October 22, 2019, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution
approving a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) agreement between the County and the City of Chico,
establishing Butte Choice Energy Authority (BCEA). Legal 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 along with the City of Chico.
County Administration recommends entering into a contract with Best, Best and Krieger to
provide legal services to BCEA. The term of the contract is March 1, 2020 through February 28,
2021, not -to -exceed $120,000 ($40,000 this Fiscal Year). In addition, County Administration
recommends the Board approve a budget adjustment of $40,000 from the General Fund
Appropriations for Contingencies. These funds will be paid back to the County once BCEA has
become operational and revenues are available, which is anticipated to be 18-24 months after
BCEA is operational — action requested — 1) APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FROM THE
GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATIONS FOR CONTIGENCY (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED); AND 2) APPROVE
CONTRACT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration)
3.05 Budget Adjustment to Recognize and Distribute 2018 Camp Fire FEMA Reimbursements — The
Office of Emergency Management has been coordinating the collection of documents and
submission of claims for County costs related to the 2018 Camp Fire disaster. As County
departments complete project packages, the cost summaries are submitted to CalOES and FEMA
for reimbursement. Staff anticipates a number of reimbursements before the end of Fiscal Year
2019-20 for expenditures on hazardous tree removal, in -County congregate sheltering during the
event, donations management, the emergency volunteer center, traffic control signs and
guardrails, certain road repairs, and emergency repair of wastewater systems at CSA 21- Rocky
Bluffs. County Administration recommends a budget adjustment to recognize and distribute $4.9
million in anticipated federal and State reimbursements for the 2018 Camp Fire. This will result
in a $3.5 million increase in General Fund revenues, $1.3 million in the Road Fund, and $131,000
in CSA 21. No additional appropriations are sought at this time in the General Fund or Road Fund
since the CalOES and FEMA payments represent reimbursement of expenditures already made
from these funds for the Camp Fire response. Additional appropriation in CSA 21 will be utilized
to reimburse the homeowners association for the cost of wastewater system repairs as a result
of the fire. Reimbursements anticipated in FY 2020-21 will be included in the Recommended
Budget — action requested — APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED). (County
Administration)
