constructing an Evidence Storage Building and Morgue (Project). The Project consists of a new

5.01 Boards, Commissions, and Committees
(List available at http://www.buttecounty.net/clerkoftheboard/ApJ)ointmentsList.aspx)
A. Appointments to Listed Vacancies
Appointment to the Planning Commission - The Planning Commission is a five member
commission that acts on matters related to planning and development and advises the
Board of Supervisors on various land use matters. Some of their objectives are to
prepare and adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical
development of Butte County; to develop a plan for the conservation, development,
and economic utilization of the natural resources of this County; and generally to
conserve and promote the public health, safety, and general welfare. Each member of
the Board of Supervisors may nominate one member of the commission, and each
commission member shall be appointed by the Board. Supervisor Connelly nominates
Tammy Flicker to be appointed to the Planning Commission, as the District 1
Commissioner, with a term ending January 6. 2025 — action requested - APPOINT
TAMMY FLICKER TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, ASTHE DISTRICT 1 COMMISSIONER,
WITH A TERM ENDING JANUARY 6, 2025. (Supervisor Connelly, District 1)
B. Board Member/ Committee Reports and Board Member Comments
(Pursuant to California State law, the Board is prohibited from taking action on any item not listed on the agenda)
5.02 Update of Budget, Legislative, and Other Current Issues by the Chief Administrative Officer
A. COVID-19 Update by the Public Health Director
B. North Complex Fire Recovery Update
5.03 Community Cost Share Fund Authority and Capital Asset for the Training Tower at the Fire
Department Training Facility - Since 2009, the Fire Department has been developing a fire
training facility located at the Sheriff's Mounted Posse facility at the end of Openshaw Road. The
Department has entered into a 30 -year lease with the Posse to use approximately 4.0 acres of
land at the site for a training ground. Utilizing a grass roots effort by career and volunteer
firefighters, the Department has worked to create a first-class training facility. Much of the
facility's current improvements and training props were acquired through volunteer labor,
donations and some Department funds. In order to support the Department's all-risk mission, it
is important that career and volunteer firefighter have the ability to train in all aspects of life -
safety services. The site currently has a burn building, multiple roof ventilation props, door -
forcing props, a two story prop for various drills and a classroom to hold formal training sessions.
A training tower will nearly complete the props necessary to assure quality training is offered to
firefighters. Quality training results in quality service delivered to the public in Butte County. The
Department recommends the use of $690,000 from the Community Cost Share Fund (CCSF) for
a training tower. The CCSF was established in 1993 as a program of purchasing volunteer fire
apparatus and facilities to house them. The main funding mechanism for the CCSF is
reimbursement by the State or federal government for the deployment of County Fire resources
to support wildfire emergencies. The CCSF is at the direction of the Board. In 2020, unanticipated
revenue from County equipment assigned to support State wildland fires was much higher than
expected, which created an opportunity to use the fund to purchase a training tower without
impacting the replacement cycle of volunteer apparatus. The estimated fund balance in the CCSF
as of June 30, 2021 is $1,565,456, which would be reduced by $690,000 for the training tower

5.04 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 could pose environment hazard. 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. Due to the Camp Fire and COVID-19 Pandemic responses, there was a delay in
presenting the analysis to the Board. On March 9, 2021, the analysis was presented to the Board
where staff was directed to bring back the item with additional information — action requested
— PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF. (Public Health)

6.02 9:50 AM — Public Hearing - North Chico Village Vision Plan (Plan) Public Workshop - The Plan is a
planning study and design document evaluating needed updates to a portion of the existing North
Chico Specific Plan (NCSP) that was originally approved in 1995. The Plan will be the basis of a future
NCSP Amendment. The existing NCSP accommodates up to 2,275 potential dwelling units with
densities ranging from six dwelling units per acre to 20 units per acre. The proposed Plan continues
the same density range of residential land uses but improves circulation networks, parks and open
space buffers, and neighborhood planning. By slightly increasing the proportion of the Medium
High Density Residential zoning, additional buffers and open space areas are provided within and
around the Plan boundary. The intent of the Plan is to provide a foundation for continuing planning
efforts necessary for the development of the North Chico Village and included extensive community
outreach, and three public workshops. On April 22, 2021, the Planning Commission approved by 4-
0-1 vote to bring the Plan forward to the Board of Supervisors. The Department of Development
Services is seeking direction from the Board to begin the NCSP amendment process and
environmental analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act — action requested - 1)
REVIEW THE NORTH CHICO VILLAGE VISION PLAN; AND 2) DIRECT STAFF TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF
AMENDING THE NORTH CHICO SPECIFIC PLAN AND ASSOCIATED ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS.
