Strong Fund for the Department of Behavioral Health Prevention Services - The Butte Strong
Committee of NVCF approved a proposal to fund the Department with $40,000 to engage in the
development and implementation of a Wellness Center for Paradise High School. The Wellness
Center will serve approximately 474 students who are struggling due to Camp Fire trauma; 247 of
them are socioeconomically disadvantaged and 231 are currently receiving free and reduced
lunch. The objectives of the Paradise Wellness Center are to establish a youth designed hub that

youth. A Care Team with coaches will be available for more intensive, topic -specific groups (boys,
girls) for those dealing with more acute areas of stress. A third team will provide wellness
counselors for students who fall outside of the scope of peers and interns needing more individual
support. The focus is to allow more prevention and early intervention and expanded

develop, plan and implement daily services, as well as a Behavioral Health Education Specialist
Adult staff for assistance and oversight. It will also fund the purchase of food, supplies, and
materials needed for this endeavor. This grant will allow the Department to reach out to youth
victims of the Camp fire so they may gain assistance with anxiety and learn coping skills that will
lift, encourage, and create a potential shift towards greater life normalcy by modeling skills to
assist in reducing the long term stress impact encountered by this population. The Department

14, 2021 authorizing submission of a Program application for Project Upstream, which was
developed by the County's Indigent Defense Services Consortium. The cornerstone of Project
Upstream is its use of clinical and criminogenic assessments and evaluations, and case
management to assist system impacted individuals in using their period of incarceration as an
opportunity for transformation. An element of Project Upstream is the Prison Pre -Entry Program.
The Prison Pre -Entry Program's overarching goal is to increase youthful offenders' motivation to
engage in prison programming in pursuit of behavioral change and personal growth facilitating an
opportunity for PC 1170(d)(1) consideration. A five member team will implement Project
Upstream, including Ronald Reed and Eric Ortner as attorneys, Joaquin Jordan as an associate

3.09 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 find that either the state of emergency
continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in person and/or that State or
local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing, and
extend the findings every 30 days to continue to meet via teleconferencing under the alternative
standards. The Board previously adopted similar resolutions on October 12, 2021, November 9,
2021, November 18, 2021, December 14, 2021, January 11, 2022, February 8, 2022 and March 8,
2022. This resolution would re -authorize the ability to meet remotely via teleconference through
April 21, 2022 or such time the Board adopts a subsequent resolution to continue this ability —
action requested — ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County

3.10 2021 Annual Butte County General Plan and Housing Element Progress Reports - California
Government Code (GC) 65400 mandates that all counties submit an annual progress report (APR)
on the status of the General Plan and progress on its implementation to their legislative bodies,
the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD) by April 1 of each year. The General Plan APR provides the Board
of Supervisors and the public with information regarding the implementation of the General Plan
and informs the public on the progress in meeting community goals. California's Housing Element
law acknowledges that in order for the private market to adequately address the State's housing
needs, local governments must adopt plans and regulatory systems that provide opportunities
for, and do not unduly constrain, housing development. As a result, housing policy rests largely
on the effective implementation of local general plans and housing elements. State law further
requires all counties to create an annual progress report concerning implementation of their
Housing Element. The Housing Element APR must also be submitted to OPR and HCD by April 1
of each year. The Housing Element APR includes the following tables: Table A: Housing
Development Applications Submitted; Table A-2: Annual Building Activity Report Summary - New
Construction, Entitled, Permits and Completed Units; Table B: Regional Housing Needs Allocation
Progress, Permitted Units Issued by Affordability; Table C: Sites Identified or Rezoned to
Accommodate Shortfall Housing Need; Table D: Program Implementation Status Pursuant to GC

Prevention and Support Services -The mission of Catalyst Domestic Violence Services is to reduce
the incidence of intimate partner violence through crisis intervention, community education and
the promotion of healthy relationships. A lack of safe and accessible housing options can be a
barrier to leaving an abusive partner, which is why domestic violence is one of the leading causes
of homelessness for women. All services, including housing, are available to survivors of all
genders and their children. Between October and December of 2021, Catalyst Domestic Violence
Services received 275 crisis calls and provided 300 individual counseling sessions. The Department

All other terms remain the same — action requested — APPROVE CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Employment and Social Services)
3.14 Contract Amendment with United Way for Emergency Shelter Services - Under the Coronavirus
Aid, Relief, and Economic Stimulus (CARES) Act Title XII, Homeless Assistance Grants Section,
federal funds for the Emergency Solutions Grants Program, Round 2 (ESG CV -2) funds were made
available and administered by the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (DHCD). The purpose is to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus among
individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness or receiving homeless assistance, and
to support additional homeless assistance and prevention activities to mitigate the impacts
created by coronavirus. Funding is prioritized to serve those most in need through Rapid
Rehousing (RRH) efforts and emergency shelter services, and to ensure all eligible persons receive
equitable services with dignity, respect and compassion regardless of circumstance, ability, or
identity. The funds were awarded to Continuum of Care (CoC) service areas and contracted to
the designated Administrative Entity. The County of Butte is the Administrative Entity for the
local CoC. United Way was contracted to manage and oversee the Non -Congregate Shelter (NCS)
and RRH operations in Butte County. A contract amendment with United Way appeared on the
January 25, 2022 Board of Supervisors Agenda, but was pulled from the agenda so funding sources
and service delivery could be further evaluated. The Department of Employment and Social
Services recommends amending the contract with United Way for emergency shelter services to

3.15 Contract with United Way for Project Roomkey Non -Congregate Shelter - All County Welfare
Directors received a letter dated July 29, 2021 from the California Department of Social Services
(CDSS) regarding Project Roomkey (PRK) allocations made available for fiscal year (FY) 2021-22.
There was a one-time allocation of $150M in State General Fund for continuing the PRK and
Rehousing Strategy program for FY 2021-22. Communities across California began operating
locally driven and State supported PRK initiatives to provide emergency non -congregate shelter
(NCS) protective placements such as hotels, motels and meals for people experiencing
homelessness for public health-related reasons associated with COVID-19. United Way manages
and oversees NCS operations and services in north Butte County. NCS operations began March 1,
2022 and will continue through June 30, 2022 unless funds are expended sooner. On December
14, 2021, The Board of Supervisors directed staff to continue providing PRK services predicated
on receiving reimbursement from FEMA for the expenses. FEMA reimbursement is not certain for
these costs. The services in this contract will be funded with PRK funds and will not be funded
with FEMA funds. The United Way amendment, also appearing on the March 22, 2022 Board of
Supervisors agenda, is funded with ESG CV -2 funds whereas this new United Way contract is
funded with PRK funds and has different requirements for administering the program. Instead of
providing services to the same groups/individuals, and having to separate parts of service that
should be billed to ESG CV -2 and parts of service that should be billed to PRK, United Way services
are separated by location based on funding for billing purposes with PRK funding for north county
and ESG CV -2 funding for south county. The Department of Employment and Social Services
recommends entering into a contract with United Way for PRK NCS service. The term of this
contract is March 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022, not -to -exceed $500,000 — action requested —

4. Appointment to the Solid Waste Enforcement and Appeal Independent Hearing Panel
(Hearing Panel) - The Board of Supervisors established the Hearing Panel through
Chapter 31A of the County code. Although historically there have been very few solid
waste appeals, it is necessary to maintain a viable Hearing Panel in order to meet legal
requirements upon receipt of an appeal. The Department of Public Health,
Environmental Health Division is the responsible agency. Pursuant to the provisions of
Public Resources Code Sections 44308(a)(2), 44308(b) and Section 18060, Title 14,
California Code of Regulations, the Hearing Panel consists of three members appointed
by the Board of Supervisors: a Butte County Supervisor, a subject matter expert in solid
waste, and a representative of the public. The Board of Supervisors may appoint
alternate members to provide for a full hearing panel in the event that a primary
member declares a conflict of interest or is otherwise unavailable. The subject matter
expert position is currently vacant. The Department recommends the appointment of
Doug Ames to serve as a primary member in the position of subject matter expert for a
four year term, effective March 26, 2022 and ending March 25, 2026 — action requested
— APPOINT DOUG AMES TO THE SOLID WASTE ENFORCEMENT AND APPEAL

Officer (CAO) recommends that the Board of Supervisors enter into a memorandum of
understanding appointing Brad Stephens, Assistant County Counsel, as Interim County Counsel,
effective May 1, 2022 through January 31, 2023. The CAO recommends setting the salary at
$229,413/year as listed in section 29, Reference A, of the Butte County Salary Ordinance. In
addition, the CAO recommends providing the Appointed Department Head mileage allowance of
$620/month. Mr. Stephens will retain all other rights and benefits of his current position in the

4.03 CalPERS Post Retirement Employment Exemption for Mary E Van Gilder - The California Public
Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) of 2013 requires newly retired persons to "sit out" for a
period of 180 days before returning to work for an employer in the same retirement system which
they receive a retirement. An exemption to this rule is permitted by Government Code section
7522.56(f)(1), if approved by the governing body in a public meeting on the regular agenda. The
Department of Information Systems recommends approval of a resolution to allow the extra -help
hiring of Mary Van Gilder as Accounting Systems Analyst. She retired as a regular -help employee
on February 25, 2022, after working 50 years for the County. Mary Van Gilder has intimate
knowledge of the County's legacy financial system. Even though the County has finished the first
phase of the Workday implementation and is preparing for Phase 2, there is an ongoing need to
extract data from the legacy system. Her knowledge and experience is crucial as the County
transitions to the new system. It is anticipated that Mary will assist periodically during the
transition, which could be approximately a year. The Director of Human Resources has reviewed
the facts and concurs that the request is consistent with the Government Code section
7522.56(f)(1) — action requested — ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

5. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS
5.01 9:30AM — Timed Item - Consideration of Options for the Use of Land Adjacent to the Neal Road
Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF) - In recent months, staff has been in conversation with a
for-profit company expressing interest in operating a biomass -to -hydrogen facility in partnership
with the Butte County Fire Safe Council (BCFSC). Part of those discussions has included the
potential sale or lease of property adjacent to the NRRWF recently acquired by Butte County for
the future expansion of landfill operations. Various Butte County departments including County
Counsel, General Services, the Department of Public Works, and the Department of Development
Services have reviewed the proposal and concur that State law most likely requires a competitive
solicitation process for the sale or lease of county property. On February 8, 2022, the Board of
Supervisors approved a contract to prepare a Master Plan for the NRRWF. The Master Plan
includes an analysis to address future operational needs that address regulatory requirements,
increase diversion and recycling, and improve core operational efficiencies. Potential uses for the
recently acquired property are included as part of the Master Plan. Until this analysis is complete,
it is unclear what potential uses of this property may be. Staff are seeking Board direction on the
potential use of this land before completion of the Master Plan - 1) DIRECT STAFF TO PURSUE
POTENTIAL OPTIONS FOR THE USE OF RECENTLY PURCHASED LAND ADJACENT TO THE NRRWF;
OR 2) TAKE NO FURTHER ACTION AT THIS TIME. (County Administration)
