3.06 Budget Adjustment and Capital Asset Acquisition for Capital Projects for Stand-by Generator
Power at the Butte County Hall of Records — The Butte County Hall of Records located at 155
Nelson Avenue, Oroville, was constructed in 2015. Original design of the building included wiring

a capital improvement requiring a capital improvement project. County Administration, the
Department of General Services, and the Clerk -Recorder's Office recommend the Board of
Supervisors approve the budget adjustment for the establishment of this capital project. It is

3.15 Contract with Eldco LLC for Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS) Certification Services — As part
of the Butte Regional Radio System, the Department of Public Works had radios installed in
various vehicles during the summer of 2020. Radio equipment in seven Department -owned
motor graders were incorrectly installed into the ROPS by the vendor. This installation damaged
the ROPS and created concerns under OSHA and Federal regulations. Repairs are significantly
more cost effective as opposed to replacement of the ROPS, and Federal regulations require
engineering credentials and experience to certify the repairs. The motor graders are not
operational until the repairs and certification are complete, which affects the Department's
ability to meet service level demands. The Department researched certification vendors and
Eldco LLC of Iron River, Washington is the only firm that provides service in California. Due to the
specialized nature of the work and limited availability of vendors, this agreement is exempt from
solicitation based on the County's procurement policy, utilizing the One -Source exemption. The
cost of certifying the repairs on the ROPS is $7,500 per grader. The Department recommends
entering into a contract with Eldco LLC with a term of January 26, 2021 through June 30, 2021,
not -to -exceed $52,500. The Department is working with the radio installation vendor to
reimburse the Department for the damage. However, there is need to expedite the repairs to
continue snow plowing and road grading services throughout the County — action requested —
APPROVE CONTRACT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)
3.16 Capital Asset Purchase - Asphalt Transport Trailer — The Department of Public Works budgeted

the amount of $81,760, which does not include tax. The total anticipated overage for this
purchase with tax is $19,000. This will be an increase of the Capital Asset appropriation of more
than 10% and in accordance with Budget Policy, requires Board of Supervisors approval. The
Department recommends an increase in capital asset authority for the Asphalt Transport Trailer
in the amount of $19,000, for a revised authority of $89,000. The expense for the trailer will be
accommodated by savings from other budgeted capital assets — action requested — APPROVE
CAPITAL ASSET PURCHASE. (Public Works)

five years after the date of default, the property will be subject to the Department's power of
sale and may subsequently be sold at public auction. A list of parcels, which became tax -
defaulted and subject to the power of sale was published pursuant to Section 3361 of the
California Revenue and Taxation Code in the Chico Enterprise -Record and the Oroville Mercury -
Register. The assessees of record and other parties of interest as defined in Section 4675 of the
California Revenue and Taxation Code will be mailed a notice of sale of tax -defaulted property

Census work, local jurisdictions are required to analyze their local population data and make
adjustments to district boundaries to ensure there is approximately equal representation of the

which a citizen votes beginning with the next statewide Primary Election. During this process,
maps of current districts are traditionally provided, with population data and overlays of other
data elements. Public hearings will be held to receive input from the Board and the public. At
the conclusion of this process, districts are redrawn to ensure equal populations throughout.
Time -lines during the census process this cycle have been extended as a result of COVID-
19. Whereas traditionally draft district plans must be selected by July 1, and final plans enacted
by August 15, deadlines for 2021 are November 1 and December 15. Should there be further
delays of receiving the census data from the federal government, additional extensions could be
considered. County Administration recommends issuing a Request for Proposals to secure a
consultant to manage this process due to the significant population shifts in the region
associated with multiple wildfires. In addition, legislation has been enacted (Fair Maps Act)
increasing the complexity of this process. Staff have reached out to other jurisdictions and have
identified a number of potential firms that could assist with leading this project to ensure a
transparent, unbiased process that will include coordination with other local jurisdictions and
districts — action requested — PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF WITH REGARD TO ANY DESIRED
ELEMENTS TO BE INCLUDED WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE RFP. (County Administration)
4.07 Introduction of an Ordinance Repealing and Replacing Chapter 38A, Entitled "Fire Prevention
and Protection" of the Butte County Code and related Budget Adjustment and Capital Asset
Purchase - Truck — At the June 9, 2020 Board Meeting, the Board of Supervisors directed staff to
amend Chapter 38A of the Butte County Code, entitled "Fire Prevention and Protection" to add
wildfire safety requirements and enforcement provisions in order to mitigate the impacts of
future wildfires to Butte County communities. The additional requirements include: true
defensible space past the property line with a five foot non-combustible zone around structures;
10 feet of vegetation removal from the edge of the travel way along means of ingress and egress;
20 feet of vegetation removal from the edge of travel way along established community
evacuation routes; and enforcement of the requirements county -wide. The proposed ordinance
provides a mechanism for the Butte County Fire Department and the Department of
Development Services to implement a defensible space and hazardous vegetation reduction
inspection and enforcement program. The current language in Chapter 38A is difficult to
understand in various sections. In order to add requirements and change the language for the
enforcement program to keep it consistent with similar enforcement practices, significant
changes are needed. It was determined the appropriate method is to repeal and replace the
current code, which provides a simpler and more understandable code while ensuring only
Board -directed actions are added. The District Attorney's secured settlement funds from PG&E
after the 2017 Honey Fire, and these funds are focused on wildfire prevention. The settlement
funds will offset some of the costs for the program inspections and enforcement. The Fire
Department secured a FEMA fire prevention and safety grant, which will fund Fire Department
costs for the program for a period of two years. Together, the funding sources provide revenue
to the program for approximately four and half years of operations, after which time the
Departments will need to identify funding to extend the program. The County is applying for a
mitigation grant to assist with program costs, but has not yet submitted the application — action
requested — 1) WAIVE THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE ENTITLED "FIRE PREVENTION
AND PROTECTION"; 2) APPROVE THE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED); AND 3)
APPROVE CAPITAL ASSET PURCHASE. (Development Services and Fire)

1. Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) Implementation Status — The
Groundwater Sustainability Plans are on track for completion by January 31, 2022. The

agency in the Butte subbasin. A sustainability goal statement for the Butte Subbasin
Groundwater Sustainability Plan has been drafted.
2. Wildlife Prevention, Safe Drinking Water, Drought Preparation and Flood Protection Act
of 2022 (Senate Bill 45)

Action requested — ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION. (Water and Resource Conservation)
4.09 Items Removed from the Consent Agenda for Board Consideration and Action
4.10 Agreement with Workday Inc. for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System and related Capital
Asset Purchase and Budget Adjustment — The County's current ERP system eFinancePlus from
CentralSquare, is used to perform many of the County's financial and some human resources
and payroll related transactions. Although the County has updated versions to utilize improved
functionality, we have utilized the same ERP system for over 30 years. As of October 2021,
Central Square will no longer provide technical support for this product and, as of June 2022, will
no longer provide functional support. A new ERP is necessary in order for the County to do
business. Prior to the Camp Fire staff began exploring solutions, but this project was put on hold
due to the Camp Fire. Subsequently staff initiated an update to our current software to extend
its life, but the vendor was unable to deliver functional test files. The County is now faced with
implementing a new system over the next year. The County issued an RFP for a new ERP and an
evaluation panel comprised of staff from County Administration, Department of Human
Resources, and the Auditor -Controller's Office reviewed the responses in accordance with the
guidance provided by consultants from the Government Finance Officers Association. There
were multiple factors taken into consideration including the very short implementation time-
line. A typical ERP implementation takes three years to fully deploy. The County's current ERP,
eFinancePlus, has nine months left before reaching its end of life. Based on the initial evaluation
only two vendors were found to be able to meet the County's needs. Those two vendors were
invited to provide demonstrations to County staff. Ultimately the evaluation panel and Steering
Committee recommend Workday Inc. as the vendor best able to meet the timeline and
functional needs of the County. Staff recommend approval of a nine-year subscription and
training agreement with Workday Inc. for a term of January 26, 2021 through January 25, 2030,
not -to -exceed $6,636,422; approval of the capital purchase; and a budget adjustment from
General Fund Appropriation for Contingencies of $1,768,815 for year one project costs including
an implementation consultant — action requested — 1) APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE
THE CHAIR TO SIGN, 2) APPROVE CAPITAL ASSET PURCHASE; AND 3) BUDGET ADJUSTMENT
FROM GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATION FOR CONTINGENCY (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED). (Auditor -
Controller and County Administration)

5. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS
5.01 10:OOAM — Timed Item — Presentation by CalRecycle Regarding Senate Bill (SB) 1383 (Lara),
Reducing Short -Lived Climate Pollutants in California — In September 2016, California passed SB
1383: Short-lived climate pollutants: methane emissions: dairy and livestock: organic waste:
landfills, commonly called SB 1383, to address the reduction of short-lived climate pollutants to
reduce greenhouse gas generation and their emissions. Sources of these gases, such as methane,
include organic waste materials disposed in solid waste landfills. SB 1383 targets a 50% reduction
in organic waste material disposed in solid waste landfill facilities by 2020, and a 75% reduction
by 2025. CalRecycle, which is the State agency responsible for implementing SB 1383 will provide
a presentation to the Board of Supervisors about the requirements. One strategy for the Neal
Road Recycling and Waste Facility to address necessary waste diversion is through the
implementation of a grant awarded by CalRecycle to Butte County, in the amount of $3 million,
to develop an interim compost facility located on top of the Module 4 waste unit. The feedstock,
as part of a pilot study, includes commercial food waste mixed with urban yard waste. The grant
will cover a portion of the capital costs such as equipment, instrumentation, vehicles, and
technology and the funding for an edible food rescue component — action requested — ACCEPT
FOR INFORMATION. (Public Works)

Agenda Format and Meeting Order:
The agenda is usually organized into the following areas and meetings generally proceed in the following order:
1. Consent Agenda: these are items that are considered routine and are handled by one motion and vote of the
Board. If you wish to discuss any item on the Consent Agenda you can either fill out a speaker card (located in
the back of the board room) and give it to the Clerk of the Board (sitting to the right of the Board) or, when the
Chair asks if there is anything anyone would like to remove from the Consent Agenda, stand and approach the
podium and request the item be removed. The removed items are discussed at the end of the Regular Agenda.
2. Regular Agenda: this is where presentations to the Board and items that require full discussion are heard. Items
removed from the Consent Agenda are discussed under this section.
3. Public Hearing and Timed Items: this is where items that are required by law to be heard as a public hearing are
set. This is the section where appeals before the Board are usually discussed. Hearings may start after the time
listed, but will never start before the time listed.
4. Public Comment: this is the area of the agenda where members of the audience may address the Board on any
matter not listed on the agenda. The Board, by law, cannot take action on any matter not listed on the agenda,
but may respond to statements or questions and provide staff direction.
5. Closed Session: the Board is authorized, by law, to meet in a closed session in certain circumstances. This area
of the agenda identifies those items that will be discussed during the closed session.
