of changes to the documents. These documents provide a basis for advocacy throughout the

3.02 Budget Adjustment for the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding to Provide Shelter to the
Individuals Experiencing Homelessness in the City of Chico - 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 pallet shelters to provide housing to those experiencing homelessness. On
November 9, 2021, the Board approved an MOU with the City of Chico for the ARPA funding.
County Administration recommends approval of a budget adjustment to move the appropriation
of $1.7 million from the ARPA fund to the County Administration budget unit so payment may

3.03 Letter to CalOES Director Ghilarducci Requesting Support for Changes with how Counties are
Reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for Damaged Roads after
Disasters - The Camp and North Complex Fires created an estimated $153,460,041 in damages
to County maintained roads. The County has completed less than 5% of the repairs needed.
FEMA denied over $54 million in requested road repairs, stating repairs should be the
responsibility of State Contractors. The cost to repair these roads back to pre -event conditions
is over 21 times the annual County Public Works operations and maintenance budget. Without
the support of FEMA Region IX, Butte County roads will continue to deteriorate, leaving residents
increasingly vulnerable to wildfire and hampering response of vital emergency services. Butte
County is requesting FEMA Region IX rescind their denial and approve the proposed damage
repairs in alignment with the Public Assistance Program and Policy Guidebook Chapter 7, Part III.
The appeal documentation for the denied projects will be filed through FEMA's Grants Portal and
a letter will be sent to Director Ghilarducci requesting CalOES support Butte County's repair
request — action requested - APPROVE LETTER AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County
Administration)
3.04 Rescind and Replace Resolution No. 99-147 Increasing the Self -Insured Workers' Compensation
Inter -governmental Service Fund (ISF) and Trust Account - Butte County's Workers'
Compensation program is self-insured and utilizes a Third Party Administrator to administer its
claim payments. In July of 1979, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 79-149 to
establish an ISF and trust account with a Fiscal Agent and to maintain an adequate balance to
pay workers' compensation benefits during a 30 day period. In October of 1999, the Board
adopted Resolution No. 99-147 to establish a specified balance to be held in trust as $175,000
and assign specific duties to Risk Management and the Auditor's Office. Due to an increase in
claims activity and payments, the current ISF trust account balance of $175,000 is insufficient to
handle all payments that are processed in one month. Risk Management and the Auditor -
Controller recommend that the Board rescind and replace Resolution No. 99-147, amending the
amount placed in the ISF trust account from the existing $175,000 to $375,000 — action
requested - RESCIND RESOLUTION NO. 99-147 AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN
REPLACEMENT RESOLUTION. (County Administration)

3.19 Resolutions Authorizing Submission of Funding Applications to the California Department of
Water Resources (DWR) Small Community Drought Relief Program for Drought Related
Projects -The County received technical assistance funds in the Northern Sacramento Valley
Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (NSV IRWMP) Mountain County Funding Area to
help understand the water needs in Palermo and other small water systems in the County that
need technical support and assistance. Project applications for the NSV IRWMP were
developed documenting small Disadvantaged Community (DAC) projects needing funding and
identifying funding sources for those water systems in need of repair, rehabilitation and/or
replacement in order to meet drinking water regulations and reliably meet customer water
needs during all water year types. On September 14, 2021, the Board directed staff to pursue
funding through grant application development for several of these identified small water
Page 6
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA -JANUARY 25, 2022
systems through the DWR Small Community Drought Relief Funding Program (Program).
Prioritized projects included: 1. Feather River School; 2. Berry Creek School; 3. Foothill Solar
Community; 4. Feather Ridge Estates. The Feather River School project was determined to
not be an appropriate fit for the timing of this funding source. Development of an application
was not pursued. The Berry Creek School project application will be submitted, and the
project implemented, through the Butte County Board of Education. The remaining projects,
Foothill Solar and Feather Ridge Estates, will both require replacement wells and associated
water distribution system improvements to become self-sufficient with water facilities
meeting water industry standards. Staff recommends the County submit grant applications to
the Program for these two projects. The County will serve as the fiscal agency and administer
the funds to these projects. The Foothill Solar Community entity is not an eligible applicant,
but is prepared and able to implement the project if funding is secured by the County. Feather
Ridge Estates is supportive of the project and pursuit of funding, however it has limited
technical, managerial, and financial capacity to implement its project. The County will need to
provide additional project support through staff time to Feather Ridge Estates if funding is
secured for successful project completion. The project budget will include funds to support
staff time and project administration costs of the project. The Department recommends the
Board adopt resolutions authorizing applications for the Foothill Solar and Feather Ridge
Estates projects — action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTIONS (2) AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO
SIGN. (Water and Resource Conservation)

Consolidation Project - The Palermo Clean Water Consolidation Project (Project) will connect
parcels within the project area in the Palermo community to the South Feather Water and
Power Agency's (SFWPA) water system to provide a safe, reliable drinking water supply to
households. The SFWPA is the logical water solution for the Palermo community given the
existing distribution system in the area, which already serves 110 parcels. On September 28,
2021, the Board of Supervisors approved a contract to develop all elements of a Drinking
Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) application for the Project as well as up to three
additional grant applications to assist with funding the Project. At its September 28, 2021
meeting, the Board approved an MOU between the County and SFWPA establishing roles and
responsibilities for the County and SFWPA from grant application to Project implementation.
At its October 12, 2021 meeting the Board obligated three million of the County's American
Rescue Plan Act dollars to the Project and directed staff to identify grant funding for the
remainder of the Project. The best available funding sources identified for the Project include
the DWSRF and California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Small Community Drought
Relief Funding program opportunities. Multiple sources of funding are necessary to fully fund
the Project. The Department of Water and Resource Conservation recommends submittal of
both funding applications at this time to provide adequate funding for implementing the
Project in a timely manner. The Department recommends adopting two resolutions: 1. a
resolution authorizing a construction application and execution of a grant agreement for
funding under the DWSRF program, and 2. a resolution authorizing submission and execution
of a grant agreement through the DWR Small Community Drought Relief Funding Program —
