3.05 Resolution Re -authorizing Continued Teleconference Meetings of the Board of Supervisors
pursuant to the Ralph M. Brown Act as amended by AB 361 - On March 17, 2020, Governor
Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20, which suspended and modified the teleconferencing
requirements under the Ralph M. Brown Act (the "Brown Act") to allow local legislative bodies to
hold public meetings via teleconference without meeting the traditional teleconference
standards of the Brown Act as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. On September 16, 2021,
Governor Newsom signed AB 361 to amend the Brown Act to allow legislative bodies to utilize
alternative standards for teleconference meetings during a proclaimed state of emergency when
(1) state or local officials impose or recommend social/physical distancing or (2) the body meets
for the purpose of deciding or has met to decide by majority vote that as a result of the
emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
The legislative body is required to reconsider and extend the findings every 30 days to continue
to meet via teleconferencing under the alternative standards. The Board adopted a resolution on
October 12, 2021 to continue to have the ability to meet remotely via teleconference by making
the findings required by AB 361. This new resolution would re -authorize the ability to meet
remotely via teleconference through December 9, 2021 or such time the Board adopts a
subsequent resolution to continue this ability. — ACTION REQUESTED — ADOPT RESOLUTION AND

rebuilding the thousands of residences that were damaged or destroyed and reestablishing
the lives of those who lost their residences and possessions has taken much longer than
anticipated. There remains an immediate need for housing to accommodate persons who have
been displaced by the Camp Fire. Because so many of the residences damaged or destroyed in
the Camp Fire have not yet been reconstructed or replaced, this Chapter temporarily relaxes
some building and zoning regulations to allow for additional housing both inside and outside
of the Camp Fire affected area for displaced persons. Due to the magnitude of the destruction,
there is a need to provide for sufficient housing options both inside and outside of the Camp
Fire affected area, and there is a need to allow more time to pursue the housing options. For
this reason, the Board of Supervisors finds that it is necessary that the Effective Period be
extended to December 31, 2022. By contrast, the Board finds that the time for occupying land
without the utilities deemed necessary for human habitation has passed and, thus, the
Transitory Period will be allowed to expire on March 31, 2022. Amendments include: 1)
Extending the date of the "effective period" in Sections 53-11, 53-32, and 53-52 from
December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022; and 2) Allowing the "transitory period" as defined
in Sections 53-33 and 53-53 to expire on March 31, 2022. The proposed Urgency Ordinance
will take effect immediately upon a four-fifths approval of the Board of Supervisors — ACTION
REQUESTED - ADOPT THE URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE BUTTE COUNTY CODE PERTAINING
TO BUTTE COUNTY CODE CHAPTER 53, "CAMP FIRE RECOVERY" AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR
TO SIGN (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED). (Development Services)
4.07 General Plan 2040 Housing Element Update Presentation -The Housing Element is a required
element of the General Plan that is being updated in coordination with the Butte County
General Plan 2040 update. The Housing Element is required to be updated every eight years.
The Department of Development Services has worked on an update to the Housing Element
with General Plan consultant Placeworks. Placeworks has prepared a presentation for the
Board of Supervisors on the County's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) as well as the
key changes to State Housing Laws and Regulations — ACTION REQUESTED — ACCEPT FOR
INFORMATION. (Development Services)
4.08 Presentation of the Butte County Implementation Plan for Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ)
Realignment - On September 23, 2020, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill (SB) 823 (De
Leon), Juvenile Justice Realignment, into law. SB 823 moved to close the State DJJ facilities and
transfer responsibility for the long-term housing and programming of youth adjudicated of
serious felony offenses, as outlined in 707(b) of the Welfare and Institutions Code, back to the
local counties. Each county was required to develop a local plan to serve this realigned
population through coordination with a newly developed subcommittee of the local Juvenile
Justice Coordinating Council. The local plan is submitted annually to the newly created State
Office of Youth and Community Restoration. The Board of Supervisors is not required to
approve the plan, but shall consider the plan when allocating future revenues provided by the
realignment legislation. The Probation Department will provide a presentation regarding the
County's Implementation Plan for DJJ Realignment, which is called the Commitment to Success
Program. The presentation will include an overview of SB 823 DJJ Realignment; the local
realignment planning process; and the fundamentals and structure of the Commitment to
Success Program including development, guiding principles, and structure — ACTION
REQUESTED — ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION. (Probation)

TPM19-0002 - George Nicolaus (Appellant) filed an appeal of the Planning Commission's May
20, 2021, denial (2-2 vote) of Tentative Parcel Map TPM19-0002 (Nicolaus). The proposed

at 1.19 acres) and a 48.5 acre remainder parcel with frontage/access on Magness Court, a
county -maintained road and a private road, accessed from Anjou Court. An Initial Study and

Services and the Department of Public Works present the resolution denying the appeal and
denying Tentative Parcel Map TPM19-0002 following the motion of intent by the Board of
Supervisors—ACTION REQUESTED —ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

5.05 2:30PM — Timed Item - Update of Budget, Legislative, and Other Current Issues by the Chief
Administrative Officer
A. North Complex Fire Recovery Update
B. COVID-19 Update by Director of Public Health
C. CAO Comment
5.06 2:45PM — Timed Item - Discussion of Potential Termination of Local Disaster Proclamation
Resolution Due to COVID - The Board of Supervisors ratified an Emergency Proclamation due to
COVID-19 on March 10, 2020. Since then the nation, State, and the County have experienced
periods of high infection and of low infection rates. The federal government has passed several
acts to provide relief from and mitigate and recover from the impacts of COVID. These programs
and funding sources come from six different federal acts: Coronavirus Preparedness and
Response Supplemental Appropriations Act; Families First Coronavirus Response Act;
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act; Paycheck Protection Program and Health
Care Enhancement Act; Continuing Appropriations Act, and American Rescue Plan. These acts
include programs such as distribution and administration of vaccines; emergency medical care
costs; purchase and distribution of food; alternate care sites; non -congregate sheltering;
purchase and distribution of PPE; moratoriums on evictions; assistance related to
telecommunications programs (including support for broadband); assistance related to public
transit or other transportation programs; and a number of resources from the State, such as
contact tracers and case investigation workers. Early in the pandemic receipt of certain funding
required a local emergency proclamation. Subsequent funding streams are less clear, although
it is likely that the State Declaration of Emergency is sufficient. The complexity of enabling
statutes and funding authorities means that in many cases, the County will not know whether
certain costs and programs are eligible until an audit is concluded many years later. Terminating
the COVID proclamation may delay or disrupt the acquisition of goods and services that are
expedited under an emergency contract. Due to these concerns, the County Administration
recommends not terminating the COVID proclamation — ACTION REQUESTED — 1) TAKE NO
ACTION; or 2) ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County
Administration)

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.
