3.01 Agreement with Aurora Behavioral Healthcare for Inpatient Hospitalization Services - Aurora
Behavioral Healthcare is a managed care hospital located in Santa Rosa that provides inpatient
psychiatric hospitalization services. The State mandates that counties contract with managed
care hospitals based on a county's historical utilization. The contract process includes steps that
each county in which the hospital exists (host county) is required to complete to negotiate rates
and fully execute a contract with the respective governing board. Once the State receives
confirmation that the host county has completed this process, all other counties who contract
with the hospital must utilize those rates per the direction of the State. Due to these
requirements, agreements with managed care hospitals are typically approved later in the fiscal
year. The Department of Behavioral Health recommends entering into an agreement with Aurora
Behavioral Healthcare for inpatient psychiatric hospitalization services. The term of the
Agreement is July, 12021 through June 30, 2023, not -to -exceed $700,000 — action requested —
APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Behavioral Health)

3.02 Contract with 3CORE to Administer the Butte Business Stabilization Small Business Grant
Program II -On October 12, 2021, the Board of Supervisors committed $1.5M in American Rescue
Plan Act funds to create the Butte Business Stabilization Small Business Grant Program II (BBSP
II). The BBSPII will assist small businesses with the impacts of temporary business closures, costs
associated with adherence to State requirements for safe business operations, and financial
impacts due to loss of revenue as a result of COVID-19. The BBSPII will provide grants of up to
$10,000 to businesses with twenty or fewer full time equivalent employees, supporting
approximately 150 small business grants. Eligible applications will be pooled by the six
jurisdictions (Biggs, Chico, Gridley, Paradise, Oroville, and Unincorporated Butte County), and
grant awardees will be selected by a lottery system for each jurisdiction. If there are not
adequate applicants to fill the per -jurisdiction allocation for any single jurisdiction at the end of
the three-week application period, then businesses will be chosen randomly from the remaining
businesses within the lottery pool. In 2020, the County operated the Butte Business Stabilization
Small Business Grant Program funded through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security
Act (CARES Act) to assist Butte County businesses with COVID-19 impacts. 3CORE was contracted
by Butte County to administer that program. County Administration recommends the Board of
Supervisors approve the contract with 3CORE to administer the BBSPII. The term of the contract

criminal justice system, and has the support of the Superior Court Bench, District Attorney, Chief
Probation Officer, and Sheriff. The consortium has also been a cost effective model for the
county, providing a high level of service for substantially less than similar counties pay. The

3.09 Resolution and Cost Sharing Agreement Amendments with the State of California Department
of Transportation (Caltrans) for State Highway Electrical Facilities - The County has historically
entered into cost-sharing agreements with Caltrans to reimburse the State for operational and
maintenance expenditures attributable to County roadways that intersect State highways at
Caltrans -operated intersections. In 2017, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution and
entered into a cost-sharing agreement with Caltrans for State highway electrical facilities within
the County, which is to remain in effect until amended or terminated. In 2018, the Board
entered into an updated agreement and resolution to include updated terms and conditions
and reflect the State's current contract language. In 2020, Caltrans requested an amendment
to the cost-sharing agreement to add assets and update asset numbers at Ophir Road, Palermo
Road, and Hollis Lane. This amendment was signed and executed by the Director of Public
Works. Earlier this year, the Department of Public Works received a subsequent request to
amend the cost-sharing agreement to reflect additional assets and updated asset numbers. To
ensure appropriate authority of current and future amendments to the cost-sharing agreement,
the Department recommends that Board ratify the 2020 cost-sharing agreement amendment,
sign the 2022 cost-sharing agreement amendment, and adopt a resolution authorizing the
Director of Public Works to execute future cost-sharing agreement amendments — action
requested - 1) RATIFY AGREEMENT; 2) APPROVE THE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT AND

3.11 Contract Amendment with M.T. Hall and Associates for On -Call Construction Material Testing -
The Department of Public Works utilizes specialized contract services to perform quality control
on materials and construction projects provided by contractors. These testing services are
required to be independent of the contractor's quality assurance process to avoid any potential
conflicts of interest. On May 26, 2020, the Board of Supervisors entered into a contract with M.T.
Hall and Associates for compaction testing, concrete testing, steel rebar testing, R -value testing,
asphalt cores, and various soils and asphalt materials testing. The Department has experienced
an increase in the volume of paving projects that are scheduled for the Summer of 2022 and the
beginning of 2023. The increase in projects has resulted in a need to add appropriations to the
existing agreement. The Department recommends amending the agreement by increasing the
maximum payable amount by $85,000, not to exceed $225,000. All other terms remain the same
— action requested — APPROVE CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

3.12 Resolution and Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 14. Article XI by adding Section
14-41.6 "Parking Prohibited on Paved Portions of Cherokee Road" - Cherokee Road is a rural,
remote, and narrow, two-lane county -maintained paved road with dirt shoulders. The area
attracts a large amount of visitors each year for the scenic and recreational opportunities.
Overflow parking results in vehicles that are densely parked on both sides of the paved road,
which limits sight distance and affects pedestrian access. Specifically, vehicles parked in a
manner that encroach upon the paved portion of the narrow roadway create hazardous
conditions for bicycles, pedestrians, and vehicles. The parking congestion and pedestrian traffic
further create a safety hazard by inhibiting the free access of emergency vehicles. In response,
California Highway Patrol has requested the County place "No Parking On Pavement -Tow-Away
Zone" signs on portions of the road to help reduce future hazards in this area. Under Vehicle
Code sections 22504, 22507, and 22651 (n) a local authority may, by resolution or ordinance,
prohibit or restrict the stopping, parking, or standing of vehicles on certain streets or highways
or portions thereof. The Department of Public Works recommends that the Board of Supervisors
adopt a resolution implementing the parking prohibition on the paved portion of Cherokee Road,
beginning 2.9 miles north of the intersection of Oregon Gulch Road, to a point ending 1.28 miles
north of the point of beginning, at its intersection with Derrick Road, with future action to adopt
an ordinance to codify the parking prohibition specific to the paved portion of the road into
County Code 30 days from the date of adoption — action requested -1) ADOPT RESOLUTION AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND 2) WAIVE THE FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE
ENTITLED "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 14, ARTICLE XI ENTITLED "PARKING UPON THE
PUBLIC HIGHWAYS" TO ADD SECTION 14-41.6 "PARKING PROHIBITED ON PAVED PORTIONS OF
CHEROKEE ROAD." (Public Works)
3.13 Resolution Authorizing the Director of Public Works to Act as Official Representative for the
County in Executing Program Supplements for Master Agreement with the California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans) - On August 10, 2021, the Board of Supervisors
executed a Master Agreement with Caltrans for certain designated transportation projects
receiving State and federal aid. Caltrans requires the County to execute agreements that are
supplemental to the Master Agreement (program supplements) for each project. In order for the
Director of Public Works to execute program supplements, Caltrans requires a resolution
authorizing the Director of Public Works as the official representative for the County. Adoption
of the Resolution will ensure consistency with Master Agreements within the Department and
allow program supplements to be executed with expediency. The Department of Public Works
Page 5
BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA- FEBRUARY 22, 2022
recommends the Board adopt the resolution authorizing the Director of Public Works to act as
the official representative for the County in executing program supplements for the Master

AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)
3.14 Contract Amendment with Butte Environmental Council (BEC) for Public Outreach and Education
Services for Recycling and Solid Waste/Household Hazardous Waste Reduction -The Department
of Public Works receives grant funding from the California Department of Resources Recycling
and Recovery (CalRecycle) to provide public education and outreach services to promote
recycling and solid waste and household hazardous waste management. On February 26, 2019,
the Board of Supervisors entered into a contract with BEC for public outreach and education
services, with a term of March 12, 2019 through March 12, 2022, not -to -exceed $83,087. In
March 2020, the contract was amended to adjust the rate sheet, which did not affect the
maximum payable amount. In 2021, public outreach faced delays due to COVID-19 related
impacts such as school closures. In addition, the Department received subsequent grant funding
from CalRecycle for public education and outreach services. The Department recommends
amending the contract with BEC to fully meet the requirements of both rounds of grant funding.
The amendment extends the contract term by 15 months through June 12, 2023, and increases
the maximum payable amount by $27,339, not -to -exceed $110,426. All other terms remain the
same — action requested — APPROVE THE CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR

3.15 Contract Amendment with Axon Enterprise, Inc. for Body -Worn Cameras and Related Services -
In April, 2018, the Sheriff's Office contracted with Vievu, LLC (Vievu) for body -worn cameras and
cloud based services for management and storage of video evidence. In October 2021, Axon
Enterprise, Inc. (Axon) notified the Sheriff's Office it purchased Vievu and subsequently signed
an amendment taking responsibility for the existing contract with the County. Due to the change
in ownership, existing body -worn cameras and related software originally purchased from Vievu
have reached end of life and will no longer be supported. Axon provided a quote for new body -
worn cameras and related accessories as well as a cloud based software solution for video
evidence storage at a discounted rate based on pricing established in the existing contract.
Procuring these items requires an extension to the term of the contract and increases the cost.
The Department of General Services granted a 10 year standardization on the use of Axon for
body -worn cameras and related services due to the volume of work that would otherwise be
required to transition all sworn staff to new body -worn cameras and migrate all video evidence
to a new platform as well as the cost savings provided by terms of the existing contract. The
Sheriff's Office recommends amending the contract with Axon Enterprise, Inc. for body -worn
cameras and related services. The amendment extends the contract expiration from April 23,
2023 to March 14, 2027 and increases the maximum payable amount by $863,876, not -to -
exceed $1,244,435 — action requested — APPROVE CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE
THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Sheriff)

3.16 Resolution Recognizing the Month of February as Black History Month - Black History Month is a
time to celebrate and remember those important black figures that have changed the lives of
not only the African American community, but the nation as a whole. Individuals like Martin
Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, and Rosa Parks have all demonstrated a fearless dedication to
the pursuit of equality. It is a time to recognize pioneers of equality as well as the countless
others who have lived and died for the same pursuit. Black History Month is also a time of
reflection and remembrance; a time to look back at the difficult parts of the past and recommit
to the changes that are still needed. The African American Family and Cultural Center (AAFCC) is
dedicated to being a positive part of Black History and is committed to the demonstration of a
future focus and unconditional support for individuals regardless of race, gender, social class,
age, or circumstance. The AAFCC requests that the Board of Supervisors join in the continued
