3.20 Resolution Exempting the County of Butte from the Small Claims Advisory Requirements —
California law requires that small claims advisory services be provided by counties without
charge to litigants. Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 116.940(c), in a county where the
number of small claims actions filed annually is 1,000 or less as averaged over the immediately
preceding two fiscal years, the county may elect to exempt itself from the requirements of Code
of Civil Procedure section 116.940(b), and instead provide small claims advisory services through
a recorded telephone message and small claims booklets. On July 23, 2019, the Board of
Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 19-218 exempting the County of Butte from the
requirements of Code of Civil Procedure section 116.940(b) during FY 2019-20, and provided
small claims advisory services through a recorded telephone message, and small claims
information booklets. In addition to the phone message and booklets, the County partnered with
the Butte County Law Library to provide litigants resources to assist them in their small claims
actions. The recorded phone message directs litigants to the Law Library for this assistance. The
County redirected the portion of filing fees allocated for small claims advisory service,
approximately $5,000 annually, to the Law Library to cover the costs of this increased traffic for
their service. While the Law Library already provided services to litigants, there was an increase
in more direct assistance requested from litigants as a result of the partnership. In the County of
Butte, the number of small claims filings in FY 2017-18 was 419 and FY 2018-19 was 298, for a
two-year average of 358.5, which is below the 1,000 annual filings that would require the County
to provide individual personal advisory services. Further, annual small claims filings over the last
nine years have averaged approximately 540 filings per year, with a high of 812 filings in 2010-
2011, and a low of 298 filings in 2018-2019. County Administration recommends adopting a
resolution exempting the County of Butte from the small claims advisory requirements of Code
of Civil Procedure section 116.940(b) for three years — action requested — ADOPT RESOLUTION
AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration)

State and local jurisdictions on various activities related to increasing accessibility to affordable
housing. These activities include, but are not limited to: home purchase or rehabilitation

allowing 2016 and 2018 HOME awardees to add Tenant -Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) to their
standard agreements to assist residents financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. If
added to the standard agreement, TBRA would be an option to support eligible residents with
partial or full assistance options. For those who are housed, TBRA could provide rental and utility
bill assistance. For those unhoused, TBRA funding could be used to provide security deposits and
utility deposits. The TBRA assistance term related to households impacted by COVID-19 is
through December 31, 2020. If, given the time constraints and constraints of the program, the
County is unable to utilize the funds for TBRA, the full $500,000 will be used toward housing
rehabilitation and general administration as previously approved. County staff will work with
other County Departments and local agencies to determine the potential need and appropriate
deployment of these funds — action requested — ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE

5.01 9:30 AM — Public Hearing — Resolution of the County of Butte Authorizing the Closure of
Humboldt Road to Vehicular Traffic between Chico City Limits and Highway 32, Subject to Further
Review and Action —The Department of Public Works and the City of Chico Department of Public
Works continue to receive complaints about illegal activity along Humboldt Road. The roadway
is increasingly being utilized for unauthorized camping, which is generating human waste,
causing unhealthy conditions, and requires frequent removal of junk and hazardous materials.
Additionally, vehicles are being parked in the grass, which create the potential for wildland fire
starts. Illegal dumping, illegal camping, illegal fires, and crimes against people have created a
difficult situation for law enforcement and code enforcement in the area. This section of
Humboldt Road was bypassed with construction of the State Highway 32 and now functions
primarily as a walking path, bicycling route, and local access to the adjacent parcels. Butte County
is prepared to coordinate with the City of Chico and temporarily close Humboldt Road to
vehicular through -traffic between the Chico City limits and State Highway 32 as a tactic to limit
the issues. Property owners and emergency service vehicles as well as bicycles and pedestrians
would continue to have access through the locked gates. In cooperation with the City of Chico,
the Department recommends approval to temporarily close the County maintained section of
Humboldt Road between Stilson Canyon Road and State Highway 32 for 18 to 36 months. After
such time, it is likely that additional development in the area could add new traffic onto
Humboldt Road and eliminate the need for the hard closure — action requested — ADOPT
