Enclosed please find all public comment related to Item 3.21 at the April 12, 2022 Board of Supervisors Meeting. Shyanne Valencia Administrative Assistant to Clerk of the Board Board of Supervisors Meeting - Item 3.21 eComments Report Jim Brobeck Submitted At: 10:08am 04-12-22 Item 3.21 RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING APRIL 2022 AS GENOCIDE AWARENESS & PREVENTION MONTH Genocide and mass atrocities are crimes that have been perpetrated in many instances before the Holocaust and past overt genocidal actions continue to impact social conditions today. The prevention of genocide requires more than just a humanitarian aspiration; it is important to recognize how genocide effects current conditions, even in California. Butte County condemns and desires to combat all acts of genocide and should educate the public about the evils of past genocides and current impacts of genocide in Butte County and elsewhere in Northern California. In 1846 Captain John Fremont, a future presidential candidate, led a massacre of about 700 Wintu family members who had gathered at a fishing camp near modern-day Redding. This ushered in the era of genocide that included bounty payments on indigenous human scalps when state sponsored vigilantes waged a war of extermination against Native peoples. In 1851, California passed a law that prevented Native people from claiming title to their ancestral lands as well as any water rights attached to that land. The Maidu are people of Butte County and beyond. The tragic story of the Nome Cult Trail describes the attempted extermination of the Konkow Maidu Tribe. In 1863 461 Konkow Maidu family members were rounded up and herded by military escort to relocate at the Round Valley Indian Reservation. The deadly march left the Bidwell Ranch in Chico on a hot September day. The Maidu were forced to march more than 100 miles across the valley and over the Coastal Mountains by foot. Many died. Of the 461 Konkow Maidu that left Chico for Round Valley, only 277 arrived. To create Shasta Reservoir, Federal authorities removed Winnemem Wintu families from their land and flooded their homes while Wintu men were soldiers in World War II. Winnemem Wintu people of Northern California should have water rights on the McCloud River but historic State-sponsored genocide excluded most tribes from the California water rights system. The Winnemem Wintu Tribe has filed a legal brief describing how the California Water Rights system harms waterways and tribal fisheries. Butte County could show its intention to honor Genocide Awareness by examining and supporting this effort by the Tribe. A recognition of the atrocious nature of genocide in California be partially reconciled if it leads to a more just and equitable system of Water Stewardship that restores healthy salmon habitat for the people who rely on the ecosystem as they have for thousands of years prior to the water rights established in 1914.

Enclosed please find all public comment related to Item 4.05 at the April 12, 2022 Board of Supervisors Meeting. Shyanne Valencia Administrative Assistant to Clerk of the Board Board of Supervisors Meeting - Item 4.05 eComments Report John Stonebraker Submitted At: 8:51am 04-12-22 Since the Staff Report is so sparse, let me fill you in. The former Butte County Railroad double-track right-of-way through the Town of Paradise is now owned by the Town. One grade has been converted to a paved trail. Persons within Paradise Recreation and Parks District want to develop the parallel grade with jumps and other features for downhill riders. In partnership with the Town, while eschewing any partnership with the District's largest community. The Upper Ridge has been paying a large share of that lease, and as has been the District's practice since 1948, none of those dollars are coming back to us. We call this to your attention as the District's plans for both the Lake Loop trail and the Lakeridge Circle development are optimized for visitors crossing the dam, not for people who live here. We have been shut out of the planning and design process. The District spent $100,000 of our money for a shadeless brownfield in opposition to all public testimony, then spent $13,000 towards a Conditional Use Permit to ensure the business and homes destroyed there in the Camp Fire could not be rebuilt. When these items come before your board, bear in mind this item today. We welcome the development of additional recreational amenities within the Town of Paradise. We question the use of this source of funding while the unincorporated majority of the District remains underserved. .ATTENTION: This message originated from outside Butte County.

The 2018 Butte County Trails Plan, adopted by the Butte County Board of Supervisors, identified the need for additional natural surface recreation trails in Butte County. Having the addition of a recreation trail and skill features along the Yellowstone Kelly Trail will provide a unique recreation opportunity for trail users that is greatly needed in Butte County. Trails that are built in a sustainable way and offer a high-quality recreational experience improve community wellness, helps sustain local economies, and help protect natural resource by providing a desired recreational experience that will discourage the development of unofficial trails which often have natural resource impacts. Additionally, the development of a natural surface trail beside the Yellowstone Kelley paved trail will increase the width and maintenance of a critical fuel break for the Paradises community. Trails are key to Butte County’s quality of life. Thank you for your consideration of the item. The mission of the Butte County Resource Conservation District is to protect, enhance, and support Butte County natural resources and agriculture by working with willing land owners and citizens through education, land management, and on-the-ground projects.

Explore Butte County, as a destination marketing and management organization, markets the county as a destination for outdoor recreation and is supportive of planning projects that create opportunity for infrastructure growth. During the pandemic, travel and tourism trends showed that people, particularly who lived in urban centers, searched for outdoor recreation opportunities for the entire family. Communities that offered easy access, within more rural areas, saw an increase in visitation. As travel and tourism recovers from the pandemic, travel-intenders are still seeking outdoor recreation as an outlet for travel. In the wake of the Camp Fire and pandemic, Paradise has an opportunity to plan and build infrastructure that will offer a variety of economic development opportunities, which include travel tourism and recreation. The project being proposed would offer a new and exciting recreation opportunity for the people of Paradise and Butte County as well as offer visitors an opportunity for recreation. Explore Butte County’s mission is to “inspire people to visit Butte County, create tourism opportunities that contribute to economic Explore Butte County P.O. Box 2154 Chico, CA 95927 ExploreButteCounty.com vitality, and build community through partnerships”. As an organization, we are interested in destination management as a key goal and look for opportunities to support infrastructure growth that aligns with our mission. Please consider supporting item 4.05 for the benefit of the community and economic growth. Thank you for your consideration.

The project explores adding unique features along a corridor already in public ownership. The exploration of a natural surface trail with technical challenges, as a companion to the paved bike trail will add another dimension to this community amenity. The added trail will provide an adventurous route where trail runners, mountain bikers, and horseback riders can build skills. This project fits into our District’s goals of providing destination level amenities for our community. If developed, this feature potential provides a new attraction for residents and potentially visitors, supporting economic development and a vibrant community. We can think of no where in Northern California where multigenerational or varied skills riders can join along the same path with challenges starting from an essentially an ADA grade on pavement on the Yellowstone Kelly Trail to a challenging flow and skills course to capture the imagination of more advanced riders just a few feet away. Funding support of this effort will develop a robust project with public input, cost estimates, and momentum to build on the next steps to potentially develop the funding or in-kind services for construction. The District has been very successful in leveraging planning investments into Grant money. For example, in the last year alone, we have brough in over $6M in state grant money for trails and park development for unincorporated, undeserved areas of our county. We urge your support to help provide Butte County with amazing destinations and recreational amenities for our citizens. Thank you for your consideration.

Thank you for allowing for the opportunity to comment. Chico Velo 125 W 3rd Street Chico, CA 95928 April 10, 2022 Butte County Board of Supervisors 25 County Center Drive Oroville, CA 95965 Re: Letter of Support for Item 4.05 Budget Adjustment for Planning and Design of Recreational Trail and Skill Features in the Yellowstone Kelly Trail Corridor Butte County Board of Supervisors, Chico Velo is writing in support of item 4.05 Budget Adjustment and Planning Design of Recreational Trail and Skill Features in the Yellowstone Kelly Trail Corridor. The Yellowstone Kelly Trail is a great recreation resource for cyclists and pedestrians in Butte County. Constructing a recreational trail with skill features that parallels the path will provide a new opportunity for off-road cyclists that is increasing in popularity and engage a broader group of community members beyond cycling enthusiasts. Trails were identified by Paradise Recreation and Park District (PRPD) residents as one of the top needs for the community therefore utilizing funds for the design of the trail will enhance the services and/ or programs that PRPD offers. Including skill features along the parallel trail provides both current and new off-road cyclists, of all ages, the ability to improve their skills which is essential to maintaining a long- term active lifestyle. Additionally, the off-road alternative will provide a unique opportunity for families as another safe and improved community space. Chico Velo is a is a 501.c.3 non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and advocating for cycling in through education and outreach. Bicycling comes in many forms and provides opportunities for everyone. Whether for recreation or alternative transportation, we believe bicycles are integral to a sustainable, resilient community. We support the proposal and requested funds to design and implement this project to bring additional bicycle access and infrastructure to our region.

Enclosed please find all public comment related to Item 4.07 at the April 12, 2022 Board of Supervisors Meeting. Shyanne Valencia Administrative Assistant to Clerk of the Board Board of Supervisors Meeting - Item 4.07 eComments Report John Stonebraker Submitted At: 9:13am 04-12-22 When redistricting first appeared on your agenda in January 2021, I advocated for either an independentcommission or advisory committee. When the decision had been put off too long for either of the above to do thejob fully, I commented that an outside contractor was warranted but that the proposed contract was insufficient toensure satisfactory performance. So we got someone who never even learned to pronounce Magalia, much less understand the communities of interest in this diverse county, and the money we taxpayers spent was effectively thrown away.Butte County should not repeat that fiasco. We citizens can do a better job than outside consultants and at far less cost to the General Fund. A committee or commission could receive public testimony and discuss how to keep communities with like interests together so they can be most fully represented. Members could dedicate themselves to the task not having dozens of County departments and 40,000 constituents to manage as well. I don't know what form this body should take, but it's something the County should address before January 2031 so the next cycle can be resolved to the satisfaction of both majority and minority constituencies, regardless howthe demographics may shift.

Enclosed please find all public comment related to Item 4.10 at the April 12, 2022 Board of Supervisors Meeting. Shyanne Valencia Administrative Assistant to Clerk of the Board Board of Supervisors Meeting - Item 4.10 eComments Report John Stonebraker Submitted At: 9:26am 04-12-22 The current Medi-Cal system does not work, particularly now without Feather River Hospital and most of the specialty clinics in Paradise. With two competing care plans, there is no right answer for low-income patients; inevitably some physicians and pharmacies will contract only with one while others contract only with the other, and those allegiances will shift year by year. A unified County Organized Health System would help ensure that the needy can receive help close to home.

Enclosed please find all public comment related to Item 4.11 at the April 12, 2022 Board of Supervisors Meeting. Shyanne Valencia Administrative Assistant to Clerk of the Board Board of Supervisors Meeting - Item 4.11 eComments Report John Stonebraker Submitted At: 10:22am 04-12-22 Last week, on my way down Skyway to Chico, I questioned if the remaining pavement was any better than the Centerville Road gravel. Skyway definitely needs this asphalt concrete overlay, and Knife River has done reliable work for the County, such as rebuilding upper Centerville after the 2019 washout. The contract itself leaves out some language I would like to see. Grinding down the damaged road surface and rebuilding it provides an opportunity to correct errors made in the past. Several years ago, the County chose to install edge line rumble strips without the periodic gaps recommended by FHWA. Combined with the intermittent shoulder and guard rails, this has turned Skyway into a deathtrap for bicyclists. Especially now with Camp Fire damage to Honey Run Road still unrepaired, transit service to the Ridge curtailed, and the price of motor fuel not coming down, the reconstruction of Skyway should be made less hazardous to bicyclists. Ideally it would have paved shoulders along the entire length, even if that meant striping the travel lanes a foot narrower in some sections. Shoulders should be kept at the same height as the travel lane, even if it means an extra scoop of asphalt when the travel lane is patched. And if rumble strips are used to alert drivers drifting onto the shoulder, there should be flat patches every 40 to 60 feet as recommended by FHWA so cyclists can transition between the shoulder and the right lane as hazards dictate. We look forward to seeing smooth payment on Skyway, especially with Sacramento and Washington footing the bill. It could be decades before we see another eight-figure overlay, so it's important to make the most of this opportunity with an eye to how the road will be used over the years ahead.

Shyanne Valencia Administrative Assistant to Clerk of the Board Board of Supervisors Meeting - Item 4.13 eComments Report Jim Brobeck Submitted At: 10:25am 04-12-22 This comment pertains to the annual groundwater management agency report. The operating ranges allowed under the new Vina groundwater management plan allows historic low aquifer levels to occur without raising alarm. This highlights the difference between the abandoned precautionary stakeholder designated BMO alert protocol that would have been triggered when historic low GW levels were observed and replaced with the unwisely comforting assurance that the GW levels are “well above the Minimum Threshold”. The report shouldexplain how widespread historic low levels have been identified.

Shyanne Valencia Administrative Assistant to Clerk of the Board Board of Supervisors Meeting - Item 4.14 eComments Report Jim BrobeckSubmitted At: 10:14am 04-12-22I am encouraged that the ratepayers in Chico continued to decrease water pumping volumes in spite of an increase in population and brewery activity. The extra agronomic pumping data does not include groundwater use in adjacent counties that are utilizing the shared aquifer. The data analysis must consider the cross-basin flow associated with escalating demand in Glenn and Colusa Tehama Counties due to 20K af of GWS water sales, and at least 25k a/f of supplemental GW pumping from the Tuscan Aquifer Formation. Analysis of extra basin demand due to GWS, supplemental pumping and crop conversion to permanent crops in Glenn-ColusaTehama is an important consideration in identifying the mechanism of decline in GW storage in the Butte and Vina sub-basins. This highlights the recognize the limitations of SGMA sub-basin management and the need to consider umbrella regional management perhaps through the NSVIRWMP.

Shyanne Valencia Administrative Assistant to Clerk of the Board Board of Supervisors Meeting - Item 4.16 eComments Report Diana DreissSubmitted At: 3:09pm 04-08-22S.O.S. BUTTE COUNTY RESIDENTSYOU MUST RESEARCH FOR YOURSELF! Where is the Covid-19 Update on the Board of Supervisors’ agenda? You must end the health emergencies and ALL mandates. There is NO emergency in Butte County and NEVER has been an emergency regarding Covid-19. Butte County Public Health is required by law to prove we are in anactual emergency and it’s the Board of Supervisors’ job to make sure that legal obligation is fulfilled. Our Public Health Officials and local politicians know these “vaccines” are hurting healthy adults and children and have not notified Butte County residents. A huge backlash is coming as the true number of deaths and injuriescaused by the experimental “vaccines” is made known. Karen Kingston offers “Gene therapy products are all products that mediate their effects by transcription and/or translation of transferred genetic material and/or by integrating into the host genome and that are administered asnuclei acids, viruses, or genetically engineered microorganisms. The products may be used to modify cells invivid or transferred to cells ex vivo before administration to the recipient. See section III of FDA’s guidance entitled “Guidance for Industry: Gene Therapy Clinical Trials - Observing Subjects for Delayed Adverse Events” dated November 2006. Http://www.fda.gov/biologicsbloodvaccines/guidancecomplianceregulatoryinformation/guidances/cellularandgenetherapy/ucm072957.htm. Still Butte County agencies and officials aren’t officially warning the Butte County residents about these risks despite having been privy to this information for approximately two years. Butte County officials have access to the same safety data we have and this might be considered misconduct in public office. Government is setup to protect the people - not harm them. So, when harm is committed they are no longer acting in their official capacitythey are acting in their personal capacity when could bring personal liability they hadn’t anticipated. A “vaccine” with reports of wayyyy over a million adverse events and deaths is NOT safe, effective, or free as promoted by Butte County Board of Supervisors and Butte County Public Health as anyone can clearly see. The center for Disease Control and Prevention released new data showing a total of 1,183,495 reports of adverse events following COVID-19 vaccines between December 14, 2020 and March 11, 2022 up 14,601 compared with March 22, 2022, to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VARES). VARES is the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S. It is a voluntary reporting system for reporting adverse reactions to the U.S. and has been estimated to account for only 1% of vaccine injuries. Every Friday, VARES publishes vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date. Reports submitted to VARES require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed. The data included a total of 25,641 reports of deaths - up 483 compared with March 22, 2022. And 208,209 reports of serious injuries - up 4,321 compared with March 22, 2022 with tragic stories that never end. NOTE: *Children have a 99.97% chance of recovering from COVID; however, if they DON’T get the shot they have a 100% chance of NOT being vaccine injured! “A scientific study conducted by scientists from the U.S. Food and Drug administration and the Centers for Disease Control found Covid-19 Vaccination increased Children’s risk of suffering Myocarditis by over 13,000%.” Attorney Todd Callender, “Based on what we are seeing, the rates right now are excess mortality of 84% and excess of every kind of disease at 1100%. We are expecting a 5,000% or so increase in excess mortality for this year 2022. An enormous number.” 162 reports of blood clotting disorders As of March 11, 5,250 pregnant women reported adverse events related to COVID vaccines, including 1,668 reports of miscarriage or premature birth. We know Covid-19 vaccines do NOT prevent infection or viral transmission and natural immunity is robust and far superior. In addition to VARES website we have the Yellow Card, Eudra System (42,507 dead and 3,984,978 injuries through March 26, 2022) whistleblowers, DMED data, insurance documentation (data shows 40% increase in death of people under 64 and calls this the worse coverup in human history & other injuries), U.S. Senate expert witness testimony states there are 410,000 unexplained deaths in Americans, and many others. Coronavirus vaccines would have been withdrawn from the market due to the UNACCEPTABLY high mortality rate. Usually a vaccine is withdrawn from the market after 50 deaths or less. VARES is supposed to act as an EARLY WARNING SYSTEM and no one is being given legal INFORMED CONSENT which is a violation of our laws, the Nuremberg Code, as well as many others including but not limited to 21 U.S. Code 360bbb-3. Almost 1,300 side effects including death have been reported by Pfizer data and no one in their right mind would knowingly take this kind of chance with their health.

What is the official safe limit in terms of deaths and injuries reported to be the actual numbers that is deemed Board of Supervisors Meeting - Item 4.16 eComments Report Disaster Fraud We the People DO NOT approve of unlawful actions by the Butte County Board of Supervisors (or others). Money is NOT a reason to put Butte County residents and their children in harms way. The pandemic was a hoax created by a fake PCR test (which can not diagnose), fake news and unscientificscience. NONE of the tests are approved or validated (EUA). This level of malfeasance (wrongdoing ormisconduct especially by public officials) has never happened in our history. “Australia is admitting COVID shotsare harming people and they are offering up to $600,000 in compensation.” The scientific facts are clear: Masks, lockdowns, social distancing and vaccines have all proven failures and muststop! The harm especially perpetrated on our youth is unconscionable. These catastrophic mistakes will not beable to be covered up. Masks cause carbon dioxide poisoning, significant and possibly permanent damage to a child’s brain, drop in I.Q.points reported in newborns, lowers I.Q, retards speech and language development, cripples social skills, andhas lead to depression, self harm, and substance abuse, increase in suicides and crime due largely to thelockdowns, masking, and social distancing. In addition, masks violate CA Education Code 49005.1 and CAEducation Code Sec (4) 49005.8 (a) and is child abuse. Medical literature and modern-day heroes are exposing all the fraud, lies, and will hold those who participatedaccountable. You appear to be aiding, abetting, and violating your oath of office you have sworn to uphold. I implore this boardto do the right thing and STOP promoting unethical human experimentation and stop the “vaccines” in ButteCounty. Board of Supervisors have the authority to rescind all health orders and mandates in Butte County. The office ofthe Board of Supervisors serves to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitutions of the United States andCalifornia. Board of Supervisors have a duty to faithfully execute our laws not to repeatedly engage in conductthat violates the Constitutional rights of the citizens of Butte County. When there is fraud immunity disappearsis null and void and there is no statue of limitations on fraud. What is the official safe limit in terms of deaths and injuries reported to be the actual numbers that is deemed acceptable, above and beyond which the program must be stopped given that the Covid-19 “vaccines” are stated to be “SAFE*EFFECTIVE*FREE” by Butte County Public Health and Board of Supervisors? Tell us what is the official safe limit in terms of deaths and injuries reported?

Hi Kayla... I haven't seen anything about Butte County or BCPH rescinding their emergency orders (you made a point of telling me the Governor was rescinding them last week as it was a brand new decision). The Governor has not rescinded all of his emergency orders. He had another group drop off end of March, but that was an older announcement. Supervisor Lucero had pointed out to me at the March 22nd meeting that the Governor had a new announcement all orders would be dropped, the County would do the same, and Danette York would immediately demobilize her department orders. I thought how stupid I must have been for not knowing that had been announced. I went home and started looking for it. I found his prior notice where he announced another group of orders would be rescinded but he still kept a group open until June 30. Can somebody clarify exactly what was rescinded at each level. This is unacceptable for the public to keep track of exactly what is active when you all loosely refer to them as a blanket "emergency order". DOES BUTTE COUNTY STILL OPERATE UNDER ANY EMERGENCY POWERS, ORDERS, PROCLAMATION, ETC? WHAT DOES THE BUTTE COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT STILL HAVE ACTIVE IN EMERGENCY POWERS, ORDERS, PROCLAMATIONS, EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATIONS, ETC. DO THEY HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO GIVE EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION VACCINES? As far as I know, the only vaccines given are under Emergency Use Authorization. Comirnaty and SpikeVax are not being given from the Butte County Public Health Department community clinics. Please advise. WE SHOULD HAVE A COVID-19 REPORT FROM DANETTE YORK AS OUR BUTTE COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH DIRECTOR UNTIL ALL ORDERS ARE LIFTED, AND ALL MANDATES ARE RESCINDED INCLUDING THE VACCINE MANDATES FOR BUTTE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. My apologies if I missed the announcements. Julie Threet .ATTENTION: This message originated from outside Butte County.

A massive financial requirement to set up permanent covid testing programs and resources at the schools. Ms York and Dr Canton recently met with School Administrators to advise them the Isolation and Quarantine orders approved last year (at their request) were being rescinded effective immediately. And the guidance directly communicated as Public Health policy is to treat COVID like any other illness. "Everything is back to pre-pandemic status." But that's obviously not reality. We don't have legislation going through mandating expensive health testing and vaccination programs for influenza. Why do we need our public schools testing for COVID if this is just like the flu? I know this is not your decision and I am sure there is nothing you can do about it. But I think the Board of Supervisors should take responsibility for this HUGE disconnect between what their Public Health department officials are saying and doing, and what Public Education is saying or doing. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. Do we have a health emergency in this County or not. Or is it the County's position that we will forever push testing for every person with cold symptoms? Is that what Butte County stands behind as our new normal, living with covid? Expanding public schools into public health facilities? Because that is not pre-pandemic and it's not your current influenza policy. I don't expect any answers which is disappointing. The mixed messages from where we left the last meeting on March 22nd, where I was told ALL emergency orders were getting rescinded by March 31st, and what is reality is a problem. And without the regular COVID Report on the regular Board of Supervisors agenda, we are getting blindsided as new policies are being put up on your website. And links to the CDPH site are creating even more confusion for parents looking for latest guidance for schools (e.g. look at the April 6th bulletin and tell me exactly what it says - yes, I can read - but look at that notice and pretend you are a parent wanting to know what is required for vaccines and testing in public elementary schools). Seriously. A simple matrix to net out the bottom line would be helpful. Finally, who at the County Department of Public Education is responsible for the Public Health policies at Chico Unified School District? Is it Superintendent Kelly Staley? I would like to include all of the decision makers of K-12 COVID Policies in my communications. Thank you.

As you can see on this map the high density residential plan for the two parcels along 18th and Feather Ave does not fit the surrounding neighborhood design. I question how the Board of Supervisors can look the other way as City leadership sets sights on and encroaches into County lands without any current discussion of overall community design and without current updated information? ie: traffic studies, access to public transportation, infrastructure improvements, drainage plans, current EIR/CEQA documents, flood plain consideration, landscape plans and Oak Tree loss. Under the shadows of COVID the Villages at Ruddy Creek development was passed through for two parcels at 18th and Feather Ave. LAFCO approved these parcels to be annexed into the City of Oroville even though the City of Oroville planners did not provide a current up to date EIR or current up to date Traffic Study, not to mention the Oroville planners and Oroville City Council and LAFCO approved the development without a landscape plan and with engineer documentation that plans to drain the development into a known FEMA Flood Plain and the live environment of Ruddy Creek which is all on COUNTY land! The polluted Villages at Ruddy Creek development run off waters, will effect the Wyandotte Creek Groundwater Sub basin which Ruddy Creek flows through. I ask that all members of the Board of Supervisors pay attention, to decisions being made by various agencies that impact the entire Butte County community and the potential negative impact these decisions will have on the County.
