4.03 PG&E Settlement Fund Request and Capital Asset Authority for a Radio -Based Emergency Alert
System - Butte County received a $252 million settlement from PG&E whose criminal negligence
resulted in the Camp Fire. The County's net settlement revenue after attorney's fees was $204.4
million. At the FY 2020-21 budget hearings on July 21, 2020, the Board of Supervisors directed
that a new fund called the "PG&E Settlement Fund" be established and the settlement funds be
committed to County stability, hazard mitigation, and recovery. The Board approved a PG&E
Settlement Fund Policy on April 27, 2021. Recognizing that there are more worthy projects and
uses of the PG&E Settlement Fund than there are funds available, the policy states projects that
address direct impacts from the Camp Fire, leverage outside funds and/or have a high level of
urgency will be given priority. The Sheriff's Office identified a radio based emergency alert
system that can be used to alert residents of threats posed by wildfire or other dangers that is
not reliant on power or cell phone service. The new system will contribute to the County's hazard
mitigation efforts by increasing its ability to communicate vital information to the public during
emergencies. County Administration recommends $500,000 of PG&E Settlement Funds to
purchase the radio -based emergency alert system. There is $145,457,533 million in available,
un -programed PG&E Settlement funds, which includes interest earned to date of $1,685,051
million. The Board of Supervisors has approved the use of $60,643,172 million in PG&E
Settlement Funds to date - action requested - 1) COMMIT $500,000 IN PG&E SETTLEMENT
FUNDS FOR A RADIO -BASED EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM; AND 2) APPROVE CAPITAL ASSET
PURCHASE. (County Administration)
4.04 Overview of Outreach Efforts to Residents in Temporary Shelters in Wildfire Affected Properties
Nearly two and half years post Camp Fire, many Butte County residents are residing on wildfire
affected properties in temporary shelters. These sheltering accommodations include the use of
tents, trailers, and other forms of temporary shelter. These shelters, allowed by emergency
County ordinances, are set to expire at the end of 2021. The County Departments of Employment
and Social Services and Development Services have developed plans to conduct outreach and
provide information on resources to assist these individuals and households. The Departments
will present these efforts to the Board of Supervisors — action requested — ACCEPT FOR
INFORMATION. (Employment and Social Services / Development Services)

4.06 Town of Paradise Sewer Project Environmental Process - Earlier this year, the Town of Paradise
provided a presentation to the Board of Supervisors regarding their preferred sewer project. The
Town contracted with HDR, an engineering consulting firm, to prepare an updated assessment
of project options. The assessment compared two alternatives for local wastewater treatment
and discharge with a regional alternative involving piping wastewater to the Chico Water
Pollution Control Plant. The Town's consultant recommended the regional alternative based on
analysis of the cost, community impacts, probable environmental impacts as well as support
from the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. The Town is now moving forward
with preparation of a full Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to analyze the proposed project's
environmental impacts. The Notice of Preparation (NOP) was posted May 3, 2021 initiating the
start of the 30 -day Public Scoping Period pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). Two public scooping meetings are scheduled for Thursday, May 13, 2021 starting at 6
p.m. and Tuesday, May 25, 2021 starting at 12 p.m. The information for each of the meetings are
provided on the project website: www.paradisesewer.com. CEQA outlines the following issues
areas that need to be included in environmental analysis of projects: Aesthetics, Agriculture and
Forestry Resources, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Energy, Geology and
Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water
Quality, Land Use and Planning, Mineral Resources, Noise, Population and Housing, Public
Services, Recreation, Transportation, Tribal Cultural Resources, Utilities and Service Systems, and
Growth Inducement. The NOP comment period provides the County an opportunity to identify
issue areas or specific environmental issues to be included in the EIR analysis — action requested
-1) ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION; 2) PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING ENVIRONMENTAL
ISSUES TO SUBMIT IN RESPONSE TO THE NOP DURING THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.
