Joint Page 10 BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA -SEPTEMBER 13, 2022 vendors, Accela of San Ramon and SEPTech of New York were chosen as the most qualified and responsive vendors. The Accela Program Board (APB) was created to provide leadership for the land management software migration and implementation. The APB is comprised of stakeholders from the Departments of Administration, Development Services, Public Health, Public Works, Assessors Office, Fire, Information Systems, Agriculture, and General Services. Implementation of a new system and migration of data is a large undertaking that will require dedicated staff time. The APB recommends that the Board 1) approve land management software contracts with Accela and SEPTech and approve third party administrator contract with Open Cities for an online permit portal 2) adopt resolution to add one full time term Information Technology Manager to oversee the installation of the new software 3) approve the capital purchase 4) commit $1,520,047 of PG&E Settlement funds for the first year installation and migration, three years of user licenses, software maintenance and online permit portal, and one year term full time Information Technology Manager.

(County Administration) B. PG&E Settlement Fund Investment Alternative: Finance Probation Building -The County's Probation Building is comprised of multiple mobile structures combined with site improvements that are failing. The County's Capital Improvement Program (CIP), is the spending plan for infrastructure improvements and includes use of long-term financing. The County could seek financing from a private lender; however, borrowing from the PG&E Settlement Fund would allow the project to realize substantial savings in interest expense and other financing costs. Current estimated savings of this recommendation totals $14.3 million over the life of the loan. The PG&E Settlement Fund would be repaid over a term of thirty years at an interest rate equal to the average County Treasury Pool rate for the four quarters immediately preceding each established annual payment date. Financing would include interest only payments during construction and principal and interest payments beginning after project completion. Total project costs as of the current date are estimated to be $26.5 million. Financing of $24 million will be needed. As of June 30, 2022 there was $146,330,117 in available, un -programmed PG&E Settlement funds, which included interest earned to date of $3,580,702 — action requested — 1) COMMIT UP TO $24 MILLION FROM THE PG&E SETTLEMENT FUND TO PROVIDE THE INTERFUND LOAN FOR THE PURPOSE OF FINANCING CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROBATION BUILDING; AND 2) DIRECT STAFF TO DRAFT A RESOLUTION FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION TO SPECIFY REPAYMENT TERMS.

CORRECTIONS AND/OR CHANGES TO THE AGENDA (NONE) 3. CONSENT AGENDA 3.01 County of Butte GSA - Cooperation Agreement Amendment No. 1 for Allocation of Implementation Costs — The Butte Subbasin is comprised of 11 Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs), including: Biggs -West Gridley Water District, County of Butte, Butte Water District, City of Biggs, City of Gridley, Colusa Groundwater Authority, County of Glenn, Reclamation District 1004, Reclamation District 2106, Richvale Irrigation District, and Western Canal Water District. In November of 2019, the GSAs signed a Cooperation Agreement to develop, adopt and implement a single Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) for the Butte Subbasin as outlined in the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) in 2014. The Butte Subbasin GSA Managers - comprised of representatives from each GSA - and the Work Plan Subcommittee identified three tasks requiring timely consideration and action within the next six to eight months. The tasks include: 1) retaining a grant writer to prepare an application for the SGMA grant program; 2) preparation of an Annual Report due April 1, 2023; and 3) procuring on-call technical assistance. The GSA Managers identified that an equal contribution of $8,000 per Butte Subbasin GSA would be necessary for this initial year to complete the identified tasks. In addition, given the County's role in the preparation of the GSP and the 2021 Annual Report, the GSA Managers determined the County of Butte GSA would be the most appropriate agency to serve as the Fund Administrator for at least the first year of implementation. A draft amendment to the Cooperative Agreement was prepared and circulated to the GSA Managers for review and comment prior to review and comment by their respective legal counsels. At the August 25, 2022 Butte Subbasin Advisory Board (BAB) meeting, the BAB agreed to bring to their respective Boards and Councils an amendment to the Cooperation Agreement for an equal contribution of $8,000 from each Butte Subbasin GSA with the County of Butte GSA serving as Fund Administrator. The Department of Water and Resource Conservation budgeted $10,000 in fiscal year 2022-23 for the County of Butte GSA's contribution for implementation of the GSP.
