(County Administration) Page 1 BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA- FEBRUARY 9, 2021 3.03 Amendment to the Conflict of Interest Code of Butte County Office of Education — Butte County Office of Education has reviewed its Conflict of Interest Code and determined that it is in need of revision. The amendment is being submitted for approval by the Board of Supervisors as the code reviewing body. County Counsel has reviewed the amendment to the Conflict of Interest Code and deems it to be proper — action requested — APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE OF BUTTE COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION. (County Counsel) 3.04 Amendment to the Conflict of Interest Code of Butte County Resource Conservation District — Butte County Resource Conservation District has reviewed its Conflict of Interest Code and determined that it is in need of revision. The amendment is being submitted for approval by the Board of Supervisors as the code reviewing body. County Counsel has reviewed the amendment to the Conflict of Interest Code and deems it to be proper — action requested — APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE OF BUTTE COUNTY RESOURCE CONSERVATION DISTRICT. (County Counsel) 3.05 Adoption of an Ordinance Repealing and Replacing Chapter 38A, Entitled "Fire Prevention and Protection" of the Butte County Code — 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 Office 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. The Board of Supervisors waived the first reading of the ordinance on January 26, 2021 — action requested — ADOPT ORDINANCE AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Development Services and Fire) 3.06 Budget Adiustment - California Water Service's Firefighter Grant Award Program — In FY 2020 21, the Fire Department applied for the California Water Service's Firefighter Grant Program.

The Grant provides for the purchase of a hydraulic extrication ram, which will be used on vehicle collisions to extricate victims from crushed vehicles — action requested — APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED).
