The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is the grantee for the CDBG-DR funds. HCD allocated $317,428,488 of the CDBG-DR funding to the Disaster Recovery Infrastructure Program (DR -Infrastructure). This program provides funding for FEMA Public Assistance (PA) match projects, FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) match projects, other non -FEMA federal match projects, and Stand -Alone projects identified by local communities impacted by DR -4382 or DR -4407. The DR - Infrastructure projects must meet one of the named National Objectives: 1) benefiting low- and moderate -income (LMI) persons or meeting an urgent need. HCD requested eligible applicants submit Notice of Interests (NOls) for DR -Infrastructure projects in two separate rounds. Round 1 invited NOls for projects meeting an LMI National Objective and Round 2 invited NOls for projects meeting the Urgent Need National Objective. HCD received NOls totally more than $1.3 billion for DR -Infrastructure projects. Butte County submitted sixteen projects for $128,884,245 in Round 1 and twelve projects for $33,159,959 in Round 2. Butte County was allocated $72,722,679 for both programs, of which $66,080,519 is for LMI projects and $6,642,160 is for Urgent Need projects.

(County Administration) 4.16 PG&E Settlement Fund Requests A. PG&E Settlement Fund Request and Request to Extend Position to Support Camp Fire Recovery - The North Valley Community Foundation (NVCF) awarded County Administration a grant in 2019 for $282,800 to fund a three-year position focused on identifying and securing funds for recovery projects and programs. The grant fully funded the position for year 1 and required the County to match the funding for the positions at 50% for years two and three. The Board of Supervisors committed PG&E settlement funds for the match requirement. The position was filled in November 2020 and the term ends in 2023. The incumbent in the position has written 38 grant applications or notices of interest requesting $168,645,296 of which $76,900,098 has been awarded. Additionally, two allocations for $61,679,013 have been awarded. The need for the position continues as many grant funds for disaster recovery have not been made available yet. NVCF also awarded County Administration a $155,000 grant in 2019 for a housing manager position to assist with the identification of housing projects and unmet needs when the State was developing its Action Plan for Recovery for the Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) allocation after the 2018 disasters. The County was ultimately able to use existing staff to provide data as well as identifying other grant funds for work on specific housing projects. The NVCF funds for the housing manager are unspent. Department staff submitted a request to NVCF to use the $155,000 to extend the position focused on securing funds for recovery projects and programs instead of for the housing manager. NVCF approved the request with the same requirement for the County to match the funding for the position at 50%, which allows the position to be extended for two years. The Department's requests the Board commit $155,000 in PG&E funds for the match requirement and extend the position through 2025. As of September 30, 2022 there was $120,810,070 in available, un -programmed PG&E Settlement funds, which does not include interest earned for FY 2022-23 quarter 1 as it has not yet been posted — action requested — 1) COMMIT $155,000 IN PG&E FUNDS TO MATCH THE NVCF GRANT AWARD; AND 2) DIRECT STAFF TO RETURN WITH A REQUESTTO AMEND THE SALARY ORDINANCE TO EXTEND THE POSITION TO NOVEMBER 2025.

The project will be available to participants across the wildland-urban- interface (WUI) area, whose homes are within 500 feet of a main evacuation route. This ensures that work done under the grant will achieve the dual purpose of creating defensible space for homeowners while also improving evacuation route safety during wildfire events. Goals of the project include: 1) 800 home evaluation -inspections; 2) Defensible space clearance on 1100 properties where owners agree to participate in BCFSC defensible space clearance program (this program is estimated to establish defensible space on 1,463 acres - based on a total of 1100 home -sites at an average of 1.33 acres defensible space per home); and 3) Removal of 3,740 hazardous trees greater than 10" diameter on up to 1200 additional home -sites. BCFSC will retain services of an arborist to assist with hazard tree identification. The project cost has been approved by FEMA at $10,549,060 and requires 25% matching funds totaling $2,637,265. The BCFSC has secured $1,223,758 and is requesting Butte County provide the remaining $1,413,507 in matching funds out of the PG&E settlement funds. During the program, a portion of the costs will be applied to landowners with means. All funds secured through this portion of the program will be used to offset PG&E funds being requested — action requested — 1) COMMIT $1,413,507 OF PG&E SETTLEMENT FUNDS AS MATCHING MONEY FOR THE FIRE SAFE COUNCIL DEFENSIBLE SPACE HAZARD MITIGATION PROJECT CONTINGENT ON BCFSC DESIGNING THE PROGRAM TO REQUIRE LANDOWNERS WITH MEANS TO PROVIDE THE LOCAL MATCH AND TO SEEK GRANT FUNDING FOR LANDOWNERS UNABLE TO PROVIDE LOCAL MATCH; AND 2) APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED) (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED) (County Administration — Office of Emergency Management) 4.17 Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District Presentation -At the request of Chair Connelly, Matthew Ball from the Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District (District) will provide an overview of the District's environmentally compatible practices for the suppression of mosquito -transmitted disease and the reduction of the annoyance levels of mosquitoes and diseases associated with ticks, fleas, and other vectors.

PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS 5.01 10:00 AM — Timed Item - Resolutions Amending the Master Fee Schedule with the Employment Cost Index (ECI) -The Master Fee Schedule is made up of user fees charged for services or products that benefit individuals or businesses. On June 13, 2017, the Board of Supervisors adopted changes to the Master Fee Schedule which were based on a comprehensive user fee study. At that time, the Board also suggested that user fees be amended periodically to more accurately reflect actual costs by applying the change in the ECI pursuant to County Code section 3-331. Traditionally the annual ECI recommendation is brought before the Board in the fall, and the fees become effective around the beginning of the calendar year. This was done most recently at the October 26, 2021 Board of Supervisors meeting. The ECI has increased 3.36% from the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022. The Assessor's Office, Clerk -Recorder's Office, Department of Development Services, Fire Department, Department of Information Systems, County Library, Probation Department, Department of Public Health, Department of Public Works, Sheriff's Office, and Treasurer -Tax Collector's Office recommend that the 3.36% ECI increase be applied to their eligible user fees, and County Administration supports the recommendation. Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt two resolutions amending the Master Fee Schedule with an effective change date of January 1, 2023 — action requested — ADOPT RESOLUTIONS (2) AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.
