3.01 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, which was re -authorized on November 9, 2021. This
resolution would re -authorize the ability to meet remotelyvia teleconference through December
18, 2021 or such time the Board adopts a subsequent resolution to continue this ability. —

Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding to Provide Shelter to the Individuals Experiencing
Homelessness in the City- On October 12, 2021, the Board of Supervisors committed $1.7
million of one-time ARPA funding to the City for a joint City/County project to assist individuals
experiencing homelessness. Specifically, the City will use this funding to purchase 177 pallet
shelters to provide housing to those experiencing homelessness. On November 9, 2021 the
Board directed staff to work with the City to revise the MOU and include additional language
regarding code enforcement at the proposed project and compliance of a court order issued
to the City. County Administration recommends approval of an MOU between the County and
the City of Chico that defines responsibilities of each party. While the Board already approved
the project and the related budget adjustment, an MOU is needed to make the actual payment
to the City — ACTION REQUESTED — APPROVE THE MOU AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

4.03 Butte County 2021 Redistricting Draft Maps - Every ten years following the federal census,
the boundaries of the supervisory districts of the County must be adjusted so that the
districts are similar in population. Redistricting Partners, the consultants hired to manage
the 2021 redistricting process in Butte County, have publicly presented at five Board of
Supervisor's meetings as well as three community outreach meetings, with the intent of
educating and informing the community on the redistricting process, and garnering public
input. In addition, during the first publicly held meeting on July 20, 2021, Redistricting
Partners outlined the processes under the Fair Maps Act, the State and Federal Voting Rights
Act, and discussed other requirements associated with the redistricting process. On October
12, 2021 the consultants presented initial draft district maps where additional public input
and Board testimony was provided. The consultants returned on November 9, 2021 with
new draft district maps based on input received. Consistent with Board direction given on
November 9, 2021, the consultants are returning to present one revised draft district map
derived from consultant draft maps A3 and A4, and to review for consistency with
requirements of the Fair Maps Act, map #69836 that was introduced by Supervisor Teeter
and discussed at the November 9, 2021 Board meeting. Both maps submitted for potential
approval have been made publicly available for 7 days. All maps submitted by the
consultants follow all legal requirements, including the Federal Voting Rights Act, Fair Maps

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
