Hearing Officer Program (Program) - County Administration maintains a list of contracted

Maria Lathrop Winter. The amendment replaces Attachment III - Scope of Work; adds
Attachment V - Regulatory Compliance Requirement; extends the term of the contracts by six
months through December 31, 2021; and increases the maximum payable of each contract by
$51,000, not -to -exceed $75,000. All other terms remain the same. This is the second contract

designated certain officers as those authorized to direct the annual transfer of the County's
settlement funds on behalf of the County. The County desires to substitute different officers, as
the officers currently authorized are no longer with the County, and recommends the Board of

settlement funds on behalf of the County — action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND

is $204.4 million dollars. On July 21, 2020, the Board of Supervisors directed that a new fund
called the "PG&E Settlement Fund" be established and that settlement funds be committed to
County stability, hazard mitigation, and recovery. On August 25, 2020, staff provided a number
of examples in each of the priority areas of County stability, hazard mitigation, and recovery and
sought feedback from the Board on the development of a PG&E Settlement Fund policy as well
as initiatives or projects that the Board would like additional information on. On December 8,
2020, staff provided more details on County stability initiatives as well a draft policy which the

4.06 Homeless Solutions Partnership with City of Chico —The County and the City of Chico have been
discussing possible solutions to assist with the homeless crisis in and around the City of Chico.
The City of Chico has developed a comprehensive plan that focuses on providing individuals
experiencing homelessness shelter, and a path to transition to permanent housing. The plan
consists of the City of Chico accessing property on which 60 aluminum frame pallet shelters
would be placed. These single -occupancy 64 square foot residences would provide sheltering,
including non -congregate sheltering necessary during the COVID pandemic. The site will include
portable showers, bathrooms, and laundry units for residents. The location will be managed
through a contract with a local non-profit organization, and Butte County Behavioral Health will
provide voluntary mental health services to those who are seriously mentally ill, indigent and/or
with Butte County MediCal. Funding for site preparation, equipment, services, and supplies will
be provided through a partnership between the City of Chico, the County of Butte, the
Continuum of Care, and generous donations from the community. It is recommended that in
addition to the cost of services provided by Behavioral Health that the County commit to
contribute up to $500,000 from the anticipated next round of Coronavirus Relief Funds.
Expenditure of these funds would be contingent on the federal government passing the
"American Rescue Plan," which is the latest proposed COVID-19 stimulus package, and Butte
County being a recipient of direct aid from this source, and the ability of the other identified
partners to deliver on their commitments — action requested -1) COMMIT UP TO $500,000 FROM
THE ANTICIPATED CORONAVIRUS RELIEF FUNDS FROM THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN; AND 2)
DIRECT STAFF TO RETURN TO THE BOARD WITH A BUDGET ADJUSTMENT AFTER ALL PARTNERS
COMMIT THEIR RESOURCES TOWARDS THE PROJECT. (County Administration)

4.07 Resolution to Amend the Salary Ordinance and Budget Adjustment for COVID-19 Epidemiology
and Laboratory Capacity (ELC) Enhancing Detection Expansion Funding - The Department of
Public Health recently received notice of a funding allocation from the State to assist in the
response to COVID-19. Funding is being provided by the ELC program through the Coronavirus
Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021. Under the COVID-19 ELC
Enhancing Detection Expansion funding, the Department is allocated $9,107,329 for the period
of March 1, 2021 through July 31, 2023. Like the work supported by the original ELC Enhancing
Detection funding the Department received, the funding expands support of testing, case
investigation and contract tracing, surveillance, containment, and mitigation. The funding spans
the same six strategies as the original ELC Enhancing Detection funds, but many additional
allowable activities have been added to each of the strategies, most specifically the use of funds
for vaccination related activities. The Department recommends the Board of Supervisors
approve the related budget adjustment to cover the associated costs and to adopt a resolution
amending the Salary Ordinance to include the addition of 19 term positions to work on the scope
of work required by the funding — action requested - 1) APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5
VOTES REQUIRED); AND 2) ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Health)
4.08 Contract Amendment with Quincy Engineering Inc. for Design Services Related to the Midway
Bridge Replacement — On September 25, 2012, the Board of Supervisors awarded the Midway
Bridge Replacement project to Quincy Engineering Inc., of Sacramento. The project included the
development of contract plans, specifications, and estimates required to construct the Midway
Bridge across Butte Creek at a cost not -to -exceed $1,677,999. The contract was amended on
April 8, 2014 to provide additional technical investigations required to address the potential for
hazardous materials, which increased the contract amount to $1,740,271. The contract was
further amended on June 28, 2016 to develop revised technical studies, plan sheets, and
environmental studies required to deliver a change in the roadway alignment and bridge
configuration which increased the contract amount to $2,167,011. The contract was last
amended on June 11, 2019 increasing the contract amount to $2,307,911 to satisfy a change in
the minimum design criteria potentially resulting in a cost savings during construction. The
Department of Public Works recommends amending the contract with Quincy Engineering Inc.
for additional construction coordination with Union Pacific Railroad due to an increase in the
amount of time and effort required to secure right-of-way for the project and for additional
construction support within the scope of the original agreement. The amendment increases the
maximum payable amount by $179,600, not -to -exceed $2,487,511. All other terms remain the
same. — action requested - APPROVE CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO
SIGN. (Public Works)
4.09 Information on Exploratory Wells and the Code Enforcement Process - The use of exploratory
wells began in the early 2000's to allow developers and potential purchasers of land to verify the
presence of an adequate supply of groundwater prior to making significant investments in their
projects or purchases. Problems arose with some property owners using exploratory wells to
provide water for unpermitted activities, some of which are damaging to the environment. In
2018, the Board of Supervisors directed the Department of Public Health to work with the
Department of Development Services to determine if property owners, in violation of Butte
County Code section 23B, could be brought into compliance by following the County's existing
code enforcement process. A multi -sector workgroup performed a thorough review and analysis
during 2018. Prior to being able to present the results of the study, this topic was put on hold
due to the Camp Fire response. It was then scheduled to come before the Board of Supervisors
in March 2020 when the Department's focus was diverted to the response to the COVID-19
Pandemic, placing this topic on hold once again — action requested - PROVIDE DIRECTION TO
STAFF. (Public Health)
