3.13 Contract Amendment with Youth for Change for Wraparound Services - Youth For Change
specializes in social services programs which support the healing of children and families by
drawing upon community resources with the goal of family reunification. Services involve
families directly in identifying needs, problem -solving, and decision-making to assist them in
successful transition out of the child welfare system. In 1997, Senate Bill 163 established
wraparound services as an alternative to placing children in high-level group home care.
Wraparound is a practice of partnering with families to provide intensive services to children and
families with complex needs using a team -based approach. wraparound services provides
comprehensive, collaborative treatment and support services to Butte County youth and their
families. The Department of Employment and Social Services recommends amending the
contract with Youth for Change for wraparound services. The amendment decreases the
maximum payable amount by $399,780 not -to -exceed $2,463,600 and implements changes to
services and payment to follow updated State claiming guidelines. Due to the decrease in the
number of children/youth served, the amendment also reduces the number of participants from
40 to 35. All other terms remain the same. Additionally, the Department recommends approval
of a budget adjustment to reflect State requirements, which provides claiming instruction for
the wraparound program. Under this guidance, costs related to children/youth at home with
family or legal guardian are to be paid for out of a different cost center than originally budgeted

adults who are not supported by their own means, other public funds, or assistance programs.
Butte County currently has approximately 325 eligible clients in the program. GA is a loan
program, and participants are required to pay back support received from the program. All
recipients are required, as a condition of eligibility, to sign a repayment agreement to the County
for all GA payments received based on their ability to pay. Those applying as disabled and unable
to work are required to apply for Supplemental Security Income as a condition of eligibility. Able-
bodied clients are provided job search services designed to help them obtain employment and

1, 2021. This is an increase of 5.3% changing the GA amount from $520 per month based on the
Cost of Living increase provided to CalWORKs households. The Department estimates the
increase to be $81,900 through the remainder of fiscal year 2021-22. This rate increase is in
accordance with State law that links any adjustment made in the CalWORKs program to a
corresponding increase in the GA program — ACTION REQUESTED — ADOPT RESOLUTION AND

Group was the qualified responsive bidder and a professional services contract was executed by

Works fleet operations occupies 9 County Center Drive in Oroville. The boiler providing heat to
the facility has entirely failed. Plans for a replacement boiler system were drafted in 2017 though
the project was deferred due to a lack of sufficient funding. The County budget for Fiscal Year

alternative work. The Department of Public Works has selected to defer the optional additive
alternative work and proceed with only the replacement boiler system. The Department of

Oroville, execute a contract with Sacramento based TNT Industrial Contractors Inc, the lowest
bidder, and appoint the General Services Director as the officer of the project. The term of the

of $245,371 from the General Services Department budget to the Capital Project Fund and also

3.23 Adoption of an Ordinance to Authorize Butte County to Join The Partnership Healthplan of
California (PHC) Commission - In 2013, Medi -Cal Managed Care was expanded to 28 rural
California counties, including Butte County. Butte County was assigned the Regional Model in
which the State contracts with two commercial plans, Anthem Blue Cross and California Health
& Wellness, to administer Medi -Cal benefits in the county. After several years of experience with
the Regional Model and review of other models, County staff recommended a transition to a
County Organized Health System (COHS) operated by PHC to improve healthcare to Medi -Cal
recipients in the County. PHC is a COHS that has consistently received higher quality scores than
other plans. Along with providing health care, PHC works to improve the coordination of care,
conducts outreach to enroll uninsured populations and supports population based initiatives. At
the March 23, 2021 Board Meeting, a Letter of Intent to the State Department of Health Care
Services (DHCS) was approved and signed by the Board to demonstrate Butte County's intent to
transition to the PHC COHS. The transition was recommended by all three hospitals in Butte
County. The next step of the transition to the PHC COHS is the adoption of an ordinance
authorizing Butte County to join the PHC Commission and establish standards pertaining to Butte
County's Commissioners. DHCS requires that all counties that desire to change Medi -Cal
Managed Care models adopt an ordinance approved by the Board of Supervisors no later than
October 1, 2021. On August 24, 2021, the ordinance came before the Board of Supervisors and
the Board voted to waive the first reading. It is now recommended that the Board of Supervisors
adopt the ordinance — ACTION REQUESTED — ADOPT ORDINANCE AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR

authorize the Director of Public Works to execute the letter and related project documents.
DWR also requires the Board to adopt two additional resolutions authorizing the acceptance of
the funding terms and authorizing the Director of Public Works to sign the agreement. The
agreement will be finalized by DWR after the resolutions are adopted by the Board. County
Counsel has reviewed the agreement terms and conditions, and resolutions and has no

3.27 Contract Amendment with Compliance SFO, Inc. for Retention of a Biological and Human Health
and Safety Risk Assessment Consultant at the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF) -
On November 18, 2020, the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) issued an
Investigative Work Order requiring NRRWF to prepare an Investigative Work Plan (IWP) to assess
the environmental, storm water, soils, biological, and human health and safety risks posed by
the leachate seeps discharges at NRRWF. On January 12, 2021, the Board of Supervisors ratified
a contract with SFO Compliance, Inc. for environmental compliance services at NRRWF related
to the IWP. The term of the contract is one year from December 20, 2020 through December
28, 2021, not -to -exceed $85,000. The County retained a wetlands/biological consultant to
prepare the biological and human health and safety assessment portions of the IWP. This
consulting firm was unable to prepare these IWP components due to unforeseen constraints.
Given an approaching IWP submittal deadline to the SWRCB, the Department recommends
amending the contract with Compliance SFO, Inc. to provide consultant services to prepare the
biological and human and health and safety risk assessment component of the IWP. The
amendment increases the maximum amount payable by $140,000 not -to -exceed $225,000. All

4.07 Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 23 B, Entitled "Water Wells" to Discontinue
Exploratory Wells and Allow Exploration Holes or Borings - 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 are damaging to the environment. In 2018,
the Board of Supervisors directed the Department of Public Health to work with other County
departments 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 workgroup comprised of several County departments performed a thorough
analysis and presented the findings at the March 9, 2021 Board of Supervisors meeting. The
Board requested additional information, and the information was presented at the May 25,
2021 Board meeting. At the meeting, the Board directed staff to prepare an ordinance
eliminating the exploratory well program and allow the construction of exploratory holes or
borings. The department worked in coordination with County Counsel to amend Butte County
Code Chapter 23B, sections 23B -2(I), 23B -5(d), 23B -5(e), 23B -5(f), and 2313-10(b) to reflect this
Board direction — ACTION REQUESTED — WAIVE THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE.

4.09 Drought Funding for Identified Disadvantaged Community Water System Projects - On August
24, 2020, the Board of Supervisors directed staff to bring forward a report on identified needs
of small water systems serving Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) and the opportunity to
pursue State drought funding through the Small Community Drought Funding Program
(Program). The State announced $200 million in funding and is currently accepting
applications. Five projects have been identified and described for inclusion in the Northern
Sacramento Valley (NSV) Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP) by a technical
assistance grant the County is managing on behalf of the NSV region. The five projects were
added to the project list of the NSV IRWMP by the NSV Board at its meeting on August 25,
2021. The projects include: 1. Foothill Solar Community Drinking Water Compliance Project; 2.
Feather Ridge Estates Drinking Water Compliance and Fire Damage Replacement Project; 3.
Feather River School Drinking Water Compliance Project; 4. Berry Creek Elementary School
Drinking Water Compliance and Fire Damage Replacement Project; and 5. Palermo Clean
Water Consolidation Project. The water systems for projects 1-4 do not have the technical,
financial, or managerial capacity to pursue drought funding on their own. Financial resources
and a consultant are required to complete a Program application. The Foothill Solar
Community and Feather Ridge Estates are prepared to implement the project is awarded
funds. The interest and capacity of the schools needs further discussion. The estimated cost of
completing a grant application for each project is approximately $5,000-$10,000. The County
entered a contract with Luhdorff and Scalmanini Consulting Engineers for drought response
assistance and can begin the grant application work within this contract if directed by the
Board. The Department recommends the Board approve $40,000 from the General Fund
Appropriation for Contingency for the work. An update on the status of the Palermo Clean
Water Consolidation Project and the complete source of potential funding options will be
