The Study will include:
1) A detailed review of approximately 300 of the 539 job classifications within the
organization;

3.13 Resolution Approving the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) Project List for
Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-21 — The RMRA, commonly referred to as Senate Bill 1, is projected to
provide the Butte County Road Fund with $6.19 million in revenue for FY 2020-21. The California
Transportation Commission (CTC) requires the County submit an annual project list that the
RMRA will fund. The proposed project list for FY 2020-21 is included with the agenda report as
Exhibit A, the previously approved project list for FY 2019-20 is included as Exhibit B, and the
projects that have been completed using RMRA funds are included as Exhibit C. The Butte County
roadway system suffered significant damage as a result of the Camp Fire, the heavy rains that
followed the Camp Fire, the damage caused by the heavy trucks associated with the removal of
Camp Fire debris and ash, and soon the expected additional damage that will be caused by
hazard tree removal. It is likely the proposed project list will require modification in future
months to accommodate new, high priority roadway repair projects as they are identified and
additional funding sources secured. It should be noted that the previous Magalia and Upper
Ridge Projects were all placed on hold as a result of the Camp Fire, and will remain on hold
pending completion of the Government Hazard Tree Removal program. The Department of
Public Works recommends the Board of Supervisors approve the resolution and authorize
submittal of the FY 2020-21 project list to the CTC — action requested — APPROVE RESOLUTION

3.15 Contract Amendment with Advanced Earth Sciences, Inc. (AES), for Construction Quality
Assurance Monitoring and Reporting at the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF) —

Assurance Monitoring and Reporting for the Module 5, Phase B and Module 4 Slope Extension
Base Liner project at the NRRWF. The term of the contract commenced upon notice to proceed
through March 21, 2020, not -to -exceed $297,213. On September 10, 2019, the Department of
Public Works executed an amendment to the contract with AES, Inc. to cover additional costs for
the company to perform Construction Quality Assurance Monitoring on Saturdays, which was
necessary due to manufacturer delays in shipping the liner material caused by locally increased
demand as a result of the Camp Fire Debris Disposal efforts. The amount of the amendment was
increased by $28,000, not -to -exceed $325,213. During the course of the construction project,
extra work was requested of AES to help speed up the review and approval process. This extra
work was requested by staff to help keep the multiple projects on the established construction
time line. The Department recommends an amendment to the contract with AES to increase the
contract by $6,930, not -to -exceed $332,143. The expiration date remains the same — action
requested—APPROVE CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)
3.16 Capital Asset Purchase and Budget Adjustment - Helicopter Equipment — On February 25, 2020,
the Board of Supervisors accepted the donation of a new helicopter for Sheriff's Office use. It is
necessary to purchase and install communication and safety equipment in order to place the
helicopter into service. The estimated cost of the equipment and installation is $100,000. The
Sheriff's Office recommends approving the purchase of capital assets utilizing Rural County
Assistance Funds — action requested — 1) APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 VOTE
REQUIRED); AND 2) APPROVE CAPITAL ASSET PURCHASES. (Sheriff -Coroner)
3.17 Contract Amendment with Sacramento Countv for Coroner Services — Due to the absence of
county -owned morgue facilities, the Sheriff's Office has had to rely on a variety of contracted
services to provide coroner services mandated by Government Code Sections 27460-27530. The
costliest coroner services are investigations of unattended or suspicious deaths, which are
required to be done by a board-certified forensic pathologist. This service is also the most
difficult to obtain. Contracting for pathology and autopsy services is not ideal because the
Sheriff's Office is unable to control costs or guarantee availability during times of crisis, but it is
currently the only way the Sheriff is able to perform these essential Coroner functions until a
county -owned facility is built. The Sheriff's Office currently has a contract with Sacramento
County for coroner services that it plans to use until construction of the new Evidence/Morgue
Facility is complete. Costs related to Sacramento County coroner services have exceeded original
estimates and the maximum amount payable under the contract needs to be increased. The
Sheriff's Office recommends amending the contract with Sacramento County for coroner
services. The amendment increases the maximum payable amount by $300,000, not -to -exceed
$500,000. All other items remain the same — action requested — APPROVE CONTRACT
AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Sheriff -Coroner)

Office and the Probation Department completed a request for proposal for medical services at

the Jail and Juvenile Hall. The term of the contract is April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2025, not -
to -exceed $29,007,210 — action requested — APPROVE CONTRACT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR
TO SIGN. (Sheriff -Coroner and Probation)
3.19 Resolution Authorizing Facsimile Signatures for Liens Recorded — The Treasurer -Tax Collector's
Office has prepared a resolution to authorize facsimile signatures for the purpose of recording
liens. Government Code section 27201(b)(2) allows the Department to record lien documents
with facsimile signatures, but requires that use of signatures be adopted by the Board of
Supervisors. The use of facsimile signatures will eliminate the need to individually sign hundreds
of lien documents submitted to the Clerk -Recorder's Office each year — action requested —
ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Treasurer -Tax Collector)
3.20 Resolution Recognizing April 2020 as Child Abuse Prevention Month — The Child Abuse
Prevention Council requests that the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution recognizing April
2020 as Child Abuse Prevention Month — action requested — ADOPT RESOLUTION AND

Supervisors on March 10, 2020. On March 13, 2020, President Trump proclaimed a national

from federal and State officials is rapidly evolving. In order to manage a large and diverse
workforce who is impacted by COVID-19 in a variety of ways including those recommended or
required to quarantine or isolate, the Chief Administrative Officer, in consultation with the
Director of Human Resources, has instituted the following payroll changes that need to be
ratified: 1) waived leave accrued hierarchy rules allowing staff to use any available leave accruals;
2) allowed employees employed less than 6 months to use leave accruals; 3) authorized 80
additional hours of sick leave as required by H.R. 6201 (Families First Coronavirus Response Act);
4) authorized County departments to utilize telework from home where appropriate; and 5)
authorized cell phone allowance for employees working remotely who are required to use their
personal cell phone, even though not provided for by an MOU. Additionally, it is requested that
the Board of Supervisors delegate authority to the Chief Administrative Officer, in consultation
with the Director of Human Resources, to develop, implement and report back to the Board of
Supervisors on additional processes and payroll rules to facilitate compensating employees who
are unable to work due to COVID-19, whether directly or indirectly impacted, and to implement
federal and State laws and orders regarding employee pay related to COVID-19 as they are
passed — action requested — 1) RATIFY CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER'S CHANGES TO PAYROLL

issued an Executive Order suspending any provision of state law prohibiting a local government
from exercising its police power to impose substantive limitations on residential or commercial
evictions. There is an urgent need in Butte County to enact such substantive limitations to protect
the health, safety and welfare of the County's residents and the resolution will suspend the
authority of landlords to commence residential or commercial evictions within the
unincorporated area of the County due to non-payment of rent or a foreclosure arising out of a
substantial decrease in household or business income, or substantial out-of-pocket medical
expenses, due to COVID-19, through May 31, 2020. The resolution also requests that public
housing authorities extend deadlines to recipients or applicants and requests that financial
institutions in the County suspend foreclosures and evictions due to substantial decreases in
household or business income, or due to substantial out-of-pocket medical expenses, caused by
the COVID-19 pandemic — action requested — ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR
TO SIGN. (County Counsel)

Service Charge in County Service Area 158-Mandville Park Subdivision for Fiscal Year 2020-21
and Future Fiscal Years for Operation and Maintenance of a Fire Protection System — On
December 11, 2018, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 18-178 with intention to
approve annexation of Mandville Park Subdivision to CSA 158 for operation and maintenance of
a fire protection system contingent on approval by Butte Local Agency Formation Commission
(LAFCo). The fire protection system consists of an exclusive groundwater well, pumps,
underground pipe, and hydrants to benefit 24 parcels, not connected to any other system. The
annexation was not completed prior to the final subdivision map, and the Proposition 218
process should include the owners of the current subdivided condition for the levying of new
charges to comply with Proposition 218 requirements. On January 28, 2020, the Board held a
public hearing in accordance with Proposition 218 requirements to consider written protests
from record owners of each identified parcel upon which the charge is proposed. One written
protest was received, and accordingly, ballots were mailed to property owners asking them to
formally vote on acceptance of the annual service charge. The results were received by the Clerk
of the Board. The Board is required to conduct a public hearing and authorize an annual service
charge based on the results of a ballot vote. If a majority of the property owners vote in favor of
imposing an annual service charge, adopting the resolution will establish the new service charge
directing the Auditor -Controller's Office to place the charge on future property tax bills. If a
majority of the property owners vote against imposing an annual service charge, no further
action will be taken. The annexation will be complete following LAFCo approval — action
requested — 1) ASK THE CLERK TO CERTIFY THE BALLOT RESULTS; AND 2) ADOPT RESOLUTION
AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)
