Teeter. The California Fair Plan Association is a joint reinsurance association in which all insurers
licensed to write basic property insurance participate in administering a program that provides
an insurance alternative for those unable to obtain that coverage through normal channels.
Existing law defines "basic property insurance" for these situations and excludes insurance for
automobile or farm risks. SB 11 removes the statutory exclusion for "farm risks" and replaces it
with "commercial agricultural commodities or livestock, or equipment used to cultivate or
transport agricultural commodities or livestock," enabling those in need to purchase necessary
basic property insurance for their real and personal property from the FAIR Plan, and would
require an amended rate application be filed with the Insurance Commissioner — action
requested - APPROVE LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR SENATE BILL 11 - THE CALIFORNIA FAIR PLAN

3.26 Contract Amendment with Del Oro Water Company for State Water Project Table A - Butte
County executed a contract with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR),
commencing January 1, 1979, to receive State Water Project Table A water. Butte County and
Lime Saddle Community Services District entered into a water supply contract on September 21,
1978 providing for the sale of Table A water from the County to Lime Saddle. On August 31, 1990,
Lime Saddle assigned its interests in the contract to Del Oro Water Company. The contract to
supply Del Oro Water Company with Table A water remains in effect as along as the County has
a contract with DWR. Exhibit A to the contract sets the County charge and the amount of water
available to Del Oro Water Company and is required to be updated every five Years. Any Table A
water not needed by Del Oro can be made available to other water purveyors under contract
with the County for Table A water. The Department recommends amending the contract with
Del Oro Water company to remove the requirement that Exhibit A be updated every five Years
and clarify that Exhibit A can be amended at any time, update the County charge from $16/acre-
foot to $18.50/acre-foot to reflect the Consumer Price Index from 2015-2020, and allow the
County charge to be adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index — action requested —

Recovery/Treatment -The Probation Department has contracted with TCT since 2015 for Licensed
Residential Alcohol and Drug Abuse Recovery and Treatment for Male Community Reentry
Program (MCRP) participants suffering from chemical dependency. The California Department of

participants and completed 225 hours of community service, with 69 successfully completing the
MCRP. During this time, 53 California identification cards, 15 Social Security cards, and 45 birth
certificates were obtained to help participants gain employment. In addition, 69 participants
found stable housing and employment or income. Since 2015, the department has collected

4.20 Introduction of an Ordinance of the County of Butte Adding Article VII, Entitled "Limitations to
Access to Tobacco Products" to Chapter 15 Entitled "Offenses -Miscellaneous," of the Butte
County Code - On March 17, 2020 the Butte County Public Health (BCPH) received the Stop
Tobacco Access to Kids Enforcement (STAKE) Grant from the California Department of Public
Health (CDPH). The purpose of the grant is to provide funding to local law enforcement agencies,
health departments and school districts for training and enforcement of State and local laws
related to the illegal sale of tobacco products to minors, increasing investigator activities and
compliance checks, and other appropriate activities aimed to reduce illegal sales of tobacco
products to minors. In order to fulfill the requirements of the STAKE Grant, the County Code needs
to reflect the State law. The recommended ordinance will grant authority to code enforcement
officers to issue citations to any clerk that illegally sells tobacco products to a minor under the age
of 21. The Departments of Public Health and Development Services worked together to develop
a Memorandum of Understanding to conduct compliance checks, decoy operations, and
educational visits to all tobacco retailers in unincorporated Butte County — action requested -

4.21 Compost Facility Development at Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF) - In 2019, the
Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) acknowledged a shortage of
composting facilities throughout California to meet the goal of Senate Bill (SB) 1383 (Short -Lived
Climate Pollutants) to reduce organics from landfills Statewide by 50% by January 1, 2022. During
this time, the County determined the composting infrastructure was not present in the
community to fulfill CalRecycle's goal. In an attempt to fulfill this shortfall, CalRecycle offered
grants to various public agencies throughout California to expand organic processing to reduce
the number of green waste materials, food materials, or alternative daily cover buried in landfills.
On November 5, 2019, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution authorizing the Department
of Public Works to submit a grant application to CalRecycle for the Organics Grant. In April 2020,
the Department was awarded $3 million in grant funding to develop a Covered Aerated Static Pile
(CASP) compost system at the NRRWF, purchase a van with refrigeration and heating cabinets,
and provide wages for two positions for two years as part of the food recovery piece of SB 1383.
The initial project cost estimate was $5 million, with a local cost share of $2 million in NRRWF
Enterprise funds. As the project progressed, staff identified unforeseen infrastructure needs such
as a solar power array at a cost of $1 million and increases in processing equipment costs. As a
result, project costs estimates have increased to $8 million, increasing local cost share from $2
million to $5 million. The County applied for this grant funding due to a lack of agencies located
in the County that could help meet the State green and food waste reduction requirements. Since
the original grant application process, additional third party providers have risen to meet the State
requirements. With significant project cost increases and the recent availability of private third -
party providers to provide these services in the future, the Department recommends
discontinuing the project and rescinding the grant — action requested — DIRECT STAFF TO RESIND
THE CALRECYCLE GRANT AWARD AND DISCONTINUE THE PROJECT. (Public Works)

Information and Procedures Concerning the Agenda and
Board of Supervisors Meetings
Meeting Information:
Meetings are generally held the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Meetings start at 9:00 a.m. and are
held in the Board of Supervisors Chambers, County Administration Building, 25 County Center Drive, Oroville. At
the end of each year the Board adopts a meeting schedule for the upcoming year. Meeting dates can be changed
as a result of holidays or other events so please check the meeting calendar to be certain. Copies of the adopted
meeting calendar for the year are available in the County Administrative Office or on the Clerk of the Board
website page.
Agenda Information:
The agenda for every meeting of the Board is posted in front of the County Administration Building at least 72
hours before each meeting, and is available by mail subscription, e-mail subscription, or at the Clerk of the Board
website. A copy of the agenda and supporting materials provided to the Board of Supervisors members to
explain each agenda item (excluding documents that are not a public record within the meaning of the Public
Records Act) are available for your review at the County Administrative Office, the Chico, Oroville, and Paradise
libraries (please do not remove items from these files), and at the Clerk of the Board website. Copies of
supporting materials can be made for you at a charge to cover costs. The list of communications included with
the agenda packages is not comprehensive. Additional communications to the Board of Supervisors may have
been received but not included in the agenda supporting material. Copies of all communications received by the
Board of Supervisors (excluding documents that are not a public record within the meaning of the Public Records
Act) are available at the County Administrative Office upon request.
Agenda Format and Meeting Order:
The agenda is usually organized into the following areas and meetings generally proceed in the following order:
1. Public Comment: this is the area of the agenda where members of the audience may address the Board on any
matter not listed on the agenda. The Board, by law, cannot take action on any matter not listed on the agenda,
but may respond to statements or questions and provide staff direction.
2. Consent Agenda: These items are considered routine and are handled by one motion and vote of the Board. If
you wish to discuss any item on the Consent Agenda you can either fill out a speaker card (located in the back of
the board room) and give it to the Clerk of the Board (sitting to the right of the Board) or, when the Chair asks if
there is anything anyone would like to remove from the Consent Agenda, stand and approach the podium and
request the item be removed. The removed items are discussed at the end of the Regular Agenda.
3. Regular Agenda: this is where presentations to the Board and items that require full discussion are heard. Items
removed from the Consent Agenda are discussed under this section.
4. Public Hearing and Timed Items: this is where items that are required by law to be heard as a public hearing are
set. This is the section where appeals before the Board are usually discussed. Hearings may start after the time
listed, but will never start before the time listed.
5. Closed Session: The Board is authorized, by law, to meet in a closed session in certain circumstances. This area
of the agenda identifies those items that will be discussed during the closed session.
Public Participation:
It is the policy of the Board of Supervisors, and a requirement of the California Open Meetings Law, to allow
members of the public the opportunity to comment on all matters before the Board. Public participation is limited
to matters within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board pursuant to Government Code Section 54954.3.
The Board has adopted policy and procedures to facilitate the meeting process and conduct. A complete listing
of these policies and procedures can be found in the printed booklet agenda, obtained at the County
Administrative Office, or viewed at the Clerk of the Board website.
The Board of Supervisors is also committed to making its proceedings accessible to all residents. Individuals with
special needs should call the Clerk of the Board at 530.552.3300, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
to request disability -related modifications/accommodations, or to request materials in alternate formats. All
requests for special accommodations and/or alternative format documents must be made 48 hours prior to the
