4.29 Resolution Authorizing Submittal of a Regional Application for a CalRecycle Household
Hazardous Waste (HD37) Grant -The Department of Public Works is requesting authorization to
submit a regional application on behalf of the County, the City of Biggs and the City of Gridley
for a CalRecycle HD37 Grant. Both cities have provided letters of authorization allowing the
County to act as the Lead Agency for administering the grant. Studies conducted by state
agencies have shown that Household Hazardous Waste facilities are underutilized. The HD37
Grant provides up to $100,000 for regional projects intended to promote public education and
an enhanced public awareness campaign of household hazardous programs and events for each
jurisdiction to increase proper disposal, and keep household hazardous waste materials out of
landfill. The Department recommends authorization for the Director of Public Works or designee
to execute necessary applications, payment requests, purchases, agreements and amendments
for the purposes of securing grant funds, and implement an approved grant project — action
requested - 1) APPROVE A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SUBMITTAL OF A REGIONAL
APPLICATION FOR A CALRECYCLE HD37 GRANT; AND 2) AUTHORIZE THE PUBLIC WORKS
DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE GRANT APPLICATIONS, PAYMENT REQUESTS, PURCHASES, AGREEMENTS
AND AMENDMENTS FOR THE HD37 GRANT, AND IMPLEMENT AN APPROVED GRANT PROJECT.

4.30 Contracts for On -Call Environmental Consultant Services for Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) Funded Projects - The Department of Public Works annually designs and constructs
various transportation projects using funding sources by the State and/or FHWA, including the
Emergency Relief Program for emergency related projects due to natural disasters such as the
Camp Fire and the North Complex Fire. The County is required to assess natural resources for
such projects, which is often time sensitive and requires a lengthy environmental review and
consultation process. The Department is in need of one or more qualified firms to provide
technical consultation and support with environmental regulatory matters. The Department
released a Request for Qualifications on December 21, 2020. Nine firms submitted a Statement
of Qualifications that the Department reviewed and ranked. The top three firms were invited for
interviews. Two firms have the necessary qualifications to perform the on-call environmental
services: Gallaway Enterprises of Chico and Dokken Engineering of Folsom. The Department
recommends a contract with each firm for On -Call Environmental Consultant Services for FHWA
funded projects. The term of each contract is three Years, with the potential to extend to five
Years, not -to -exceed $300,000 for a total of $600,000 for the two contracts. Work will be within
the North Complex Fire burn area as well as various locations throughout the County. The projects
may include, but are not limited to, roadway rehabilitation, slope stabilization and culvert
replacement. The work will be executed on a task order basis as services are needed. Staff will
develop a scope of work for each project and request an estimated cost from the firms. Staff will
review the estimates and determine if the costs are reasonable and a Notice to Proceed will be
issued prior to the commencement of work— action requested - APPROVE CONTRACT WITH
GALLAWAY ENTERPRISES AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND APPROVE CONTRACT WITH

4.32 Letter of Support for Limiting Impacts to Lake Oroville - Lake Oroville has been depleted to near
dead pool conditions. Although the drought has impacted State and federal water reservoirs,
Lake Oroville has faced a disproportionate impact particularly to meet Delta flow standards. The
Department of Water Resources' operational decisions for Lake Oroville created significant
impacts to Butte County. The Department recommends that the Board of Supervisors send a
letter to the Department of Water Resources requesting that they limit further impacts to Lake
Oroville and to identify drought resiliency resources to offset local impacts — action requested —

5.03 Recommendation to Opt Out of AB 1976 Laura's Law - Signed into law in 2002, Laura's Law, AB
1421 (Chapter 1017, Statutes of 2002) was approved after a man with mental illness fatally shot
Laura Wilcox, a 19 -year-old volunteer at a Nevada County mental health clinic. The legislation
allows each county in the State to decide whether to adopt the provision. To qualify for Laura's
Law, an individual must have a serious mental illness that resulted in a psychiatric hospitalization
or incarceration twice in the previous three years or resulted in violent behavior within the past
48 months. While outpatient treatment can be ordered, medication cannot. On September 25,
2020, AB 1976 was chaptered into law amending the current legislation associated with Assisted
Outpatient Treatment (AOT), commonly known as Laura's Law. The AOT program permits court-
ordered treatment services for a person with mental illness who meets specific criteria. As a
result of AB 1976, all California counties are required to either offer AOT or opt out. Counties
may offer AOT services independently, or may choose to partner with neighboring counties.
Counties are permitted to opt out from participation through the passage of a resolution
adopted by the County Board of Supervisors which identifies the reasons for opting out and any
facts or circumstances used in making that decision. AB 1976 repeals the sunset date of Laura's
Law, thereby extending the program indefinitely. The bill prohibits a county from reducing
existing voluntary mental health programs as a result of the implementation of AOT services.
The Department of Behavioral Health recommends opting out of implementing Laura's Law due
to the availability of ongoing funding. Rather, the Department will be applying for Mental Health
Services Act Innovation funding seeking to establish an outreach and engagement program that
incorporates many components of an AOT program entitled Resiliency, Empowerment Support
Team—action requested—ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZETHE CHAIRTO SIGN. (Behavioral

5.04 PG&E Settlement Fund Request, Match Commitment, and Authorizing Resolution for Hazard
Mitigation Grant (HMPG) Program Applications — HMPG funds are made available after federally
declared disasters to fund mitigation projects that will prevent future disasters. The County
submitted six Notices of Interest (NOI) to the Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES)
for back-up generators at critical facilities and for public outreach related to fire prevention and
protection. The County was approved to submit full applications for five of these NOls and is
preparing to submit three based on application requirements. An active Designation of the
Applicant's Agent resolution is required by CalOES. In addition, HMGP projects require a
commitment of local funds for the 25% local match. The 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. The Board approved a PG&E
Settlement Fund Policy on April 27, 2021 establishing that the funds will be used for County
stability, hazard mitigation, and recovery. County Administration recommends the Board of
Supervisors commit $283,825 in PG&E Settlement Funds as the local match source for the
following HMGP applications: Fire Stations 55 (Bangor), 64 (Kelly Ridge), and 72 (Palermo) - total
cost $485,300, 25% match $121,325; County Fairgrounds - total cost $150,000, 25% match
$37,500; and Fire Protection & Prevention: Community Education - total cost $500,000, match
$125,000. There is $144,957,573 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 $61,143,172 million in PG&E Settlement Funds to date, and the total request
for this item is $283,825 —action requested -1) COMMIT $283,825 IN PG&E SETTLEMENT FUNDS
AS LOCAL MATCH FOR HMGP APPLICATIONS; 2) APPROVE MATCH COMMITMENT LETTERS FOR
HMGP; AND 3) ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County

5.05 Contract with Housing Tools for Administration of the County's Community Development Block
Grant -Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Multifamily Housing Program (MHP) for the 2018 Disasters
The California Department of Housing and Community Development made $250,687,114 in
allocations available in 2019 CDBG-DR funding to support the MHP of which $152,610,073 is
allocated to jurisdictions within Butte County. The County's allocation is $61,361,926. This
funding is in response to the State's unmet recovery needs for FEMA Major Disaster Declarations
DR -4382, which includes the July -September 2018 wildfires and DR -4407, which includes the
November 2018 wildfires. The MHP projects are funded to meet the unmet rental housing need.
Projects may include apartment complexes and mixed-use developments. The MHP will also
include small rental assistance open to landlords with one to four units. The County is responsible
for administering its CDBG-DR MHP allocation in order to provide gap financing for multifamily
housing projects including ranking proposal applications, underwriting proposals, providing
oversight and monitoring for construction, and providing ongoing affordability monitoring. The
County may hire a contractor to perform these activities. County Administration issued a Request
for Proposals on April 2, 2021 and three proposals were received. A committee comprised of
representatives from County Administration, the Department of Development Services, and the
Department of Employment and Social Services selected Housing Tools of Sacramento as the
most qualified respondent. County Administration recommends entering into a contract with
Housing Tools to administer the County's CDBG-DR MHP. The term of the contract is June 8, 2021
to December 31, 2026; not -to -exceed $745,602. The expense for the contract is eligible for
reimbursement through the CDBG-DR grant — action requested — APPROVE CONTRACT AND

5.07 Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF) Free Residential Green Waste Disposal Pilot
Program (Pilot Program) —At the May 11, 2021 , the Board of Supervisors directed staff to bring
an agenda item to discuss possible roles for the NRRWF that support residential efforts to
dispose of green waste generated during fire prevention efforts. More specifically, the Board
expressed concern of threats to wildfire for communities in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI)
that may be deterred from hauling and disposing of green waste by long travel times and
significant disposal costs. To address wildfire fuel reduction in an immediate manner, the
Department of Public Works recommends a Pilot Program for properties in the WUI that will
allow residents to haul green waste to the NRRWF for disposal free of cost on up to 10 designated
disposal days. Upon completion of the Pilot Program, the Department will provide an update to
the Board with results and additional recommendations. The current fee to dispose of green
waste at the NRRWF is $42.11/ton. Based on the average green waste truckload for 2021 and
estimated number of loads, the cost of the Pilot Program is approximately $34,00 per eligible
day, for an overall cost of $40,000. Butte Code Municipal Code Section 1-18 "Waiver of fees"
authorizes the Board of Supervisors to waive fees if the Boards finds that it is otherwise in the
public interest to do so. The Pilot Program will enable WUI residents to dispose of green waste
generated during fire prevention efforts on their properties free of charge at the landfill. These
efforts would serve to decrease wildfire fuel in WUI areas. The Department recognizes the need
for additional discussion by the Board of Supervisors to support comprehensive residential green
waste disposal programs and is prepared to discuss other potential programs and efforts for at -
risk communities — action requested — 1) Approve the proposed Free Residential Green Waste
Disposal Pilot Program; 2) Approve the proposed fee waiver in accordance with Section 1-18 of
the Butte County Municipal Code; and 3) Provide direction to staff on future projects and
programs to support residential green waste disposal. (Public Works)

5.08 Contract Amendments (3) with the Department of Water Resources (DWR) Related to the Lease
of the County's State Water Project Table A Allocation - The County has lease agreements with
Palmdale Water District and Dudley Ridge Water District to lease a portion of the Butte County
State Water Project Table A allocation. The term of these agreements extend to December 31,
2031. The long-term lease of Butte County's State Water Project Table A allocation with the
Palmdale Water District and the Dudley Ridge Water District (on behalf of the Westside Districts)
requires conveyance agreements with the Department of Water Resources (DWR) to utilize the
State Water Project facilities. There are three agreements: 1. Butte County, DWR and Palmdale
Water District; 2. Butte County, DWR and Dudley Ridge; and 3. Butte County, DWR and Kern
County Water Agency. There is no cost associated with the agreements. The three agreements
expire on December 31, 2021. In 2017, Butte County, Palmdale Water District, and Dudley Ridge
Water District amended the lease agreements and extended the terms to January 31, 2031. In
order to continue with the lease agreements, the Table A agreements with DWR must be
extended. DWR prepared an amendment to the existing agreements to extend the termination
date to December 31, 2031. The Department recommends amending the agreements with the
DWR for conveying a portion of Butte County's Table A allocation to extend the termination date
to December 31, 2031 — action requested — APPROVE CONTRACT AMENDMENTS (3) AND

6. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS
6.01 9:30 AM — Timed Item — American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding and Priorities Discussion
On March 11, 2021, the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan of 2021 was signed into law. The law
is designed to address impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and address public health and
economic impacts. Of the $1.9 trillion, $350 billion is dedicated to the Coronavirus State and
Local Fiscal Recovery (CSLFR) Funds for State, local, territorial, and tribal governments. On May
10, 2021, the U.S. Department of Treasury released the Interim Final Rule guidance for the CSLFR
Funds, of which Butte County has been allocated $42.5 million. The County received the first
half of the allocation on May 24, 2021 and expects the second half in May 2022. The CSLFR
guidance states that funds may be used to support pandemic response needs and rebuild a
stronger, more equitable economy. Eligible uses must be in response to the disease itself or the
harmful consequences of the economic disruption resulting from or exacerbated by the COVID-
19 public health emergency. Similar to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act,
recipients have the flexibility to use eligible funding to meet the needs of their communities.
County Administration staff have provided a summary of the guidance and examples on how the
funding can be spent so that Board of Supervisors can ask questions and consider funding
priorities to be discussed at a future Board Meeting — action requested - 1) REVIEW ARPA
GUIDANCE; AND 2) DISCUSS ARPA EXAMPLES FOR FUTURE DISCUSSION OF PRIORITIES. (County
