Appointments to Listed Vacancies 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 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.

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.

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.

The County's allocation is $61,361,926.

The MHP projects are funded to meet the unmet rental housing need. Projects may include apartment complexes and mixed-use developments.

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.

(Development Services) 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.

The term of these agreements extend to December 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 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.

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.
