CONSENT AGENDA Page 2 of 51 A. Supervisor Comments on Consent Agenda Items B. Adopt Consent Agenda 3.01 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Butte, Glenn, and Tehama Counties for the Tri Counties Pesticide Disposal Project On November 9, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved a revenue agreement with the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) for a Pesticide Disposal Project to provide a safe means for farmers/growers in Butte, Glenn and Tehama Counties to dispose of unwanted pesticides. The revenue agreement with the DPR is $200,000 and requires a Tri - County Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The Department also expects additional funding from the California Agricultural Commissioners and Sealers Association in support of the project. The MOU is by and between the Butte County Agriculture Department, Glenn County Agriculture Department and Tehama County Agriculture Department and sets forth a Tri -County agreement relating to the collaborative services required to establish the Pesticide Disposal Project. The term of the MOU is upon execution through June 24, 2022 and includes local costs per County to be deposited with Butte County for the purposes outlined. (Agriculture) ACTION REQUESTED - APPROVE THE MOU AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN Staff Report 3.02 Resolutions Establishing Appropriation Limit for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22 In November of 1979, California voters passed Proposition 4, which added Article XIIIB to the State Constitution. This Article establishes limits on the appropriation of proceeds of taxes. Proposition 4 establishes and defines annual appropriation limits on State and local governmental entities based on annual appropriations for the prior fiscal year, adjusted for changes in cost of living and population. Revenues received in excess of appropriations permitted by this measure are required to be returned by revision of tax rates or fee schedules within the next two subsequent fiscal years, and appropriation limits may be established or temporarily changed by the electorate. The legislation, which implemented Proposition 4 (Government Code Section 7910), requires that a jurisdiction's governing body establish, by resolution, its appropriation limit for the following fiscal year no sooner than 15 days Page 3 of 51 after documentation used to determine the limit is available to the public. Due to the documentation not being available until October 28, 2021, the appropriation limits were unable to be set until after the FY 2021-22 Budget was adopted. In the event the adopted budget is not compliant with the limit, the Board would be presented with budget adjustments. County of Butte and the dependent special districts appropriations are compliant with Proposition 4 limitations. The FY 2021-22 Proposition 4 Limit is $207,913,986 and the FY 2021-22 total adjusted appropriations subject to the limit is $87,580,743. The Auditor - Controller recommends the Board of Supervisors to adopt two resolutions confirming Proposition 4 appropriation limit calculations for the County of Butte and all special districts under the control of the Board of Supervisors for FY 2021-22.

(County Administration) ACTION REQUESTED - APPROVE THE SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN Staff Report 3.10 Resolution Authorizing Participation in the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) Public Defense Pilot Program The California Budget Act of 2021 established a noncompetitive Public Defense Pilot Program. Program funds must be utilized for indigent defense providers, including public defenders, alternate defenders, and other qualifying entities that provide indigent defense in criminal matters for the purposes of workload associated with the provisions in Penal Code sections: 1473.7 - motion to vacate a conviction or sentence in cases where the conviction or plea has unfair or unintended immigration consequences; 3051 - (Franklin Hearing) evidence of a youthful offender's immaturity as a mitigating factor in his or her crime for consideration in a future parole hearing; 1170(d)(1) - resentencing to reduce a person's term of imprisonment if it is in the interest of justice; Page 8 of 51 and 1170.95 - persons convicted of murder who were not the actual killers to be resentenced if it is in the interest of justice. Butte County's allocation is $287,130, which was established by the total adult population. The BSCC anticipates similar appropriations for the program in fiscal years 2022-23 and 2023-24. The County's Indigent Defense Services Consortium developed Project Upstream to utilize the Public Defense Pilot Program funding to provide representation to those individuals meeting the criteria for consideration listed above. 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 Penal Code 1170(d)(1) consideration. County Administration and the Indigent Defense Services Consortium recommend adoption of the resolution authorizing the County to participate in the Public Defense Pilot Program. (County Administration) ACTION REQUESTED - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. Staff Report Resolution 21-180 3.11 Indigent Defense Contracts The County is required by State and federal law to provide an attorney for persons charged with a crime or in other special circumstances if they cannot afford an attorney. Butte County contracts this service with a consortium of local attorneys who provide full service public defender work. The consortium has been an effective component of the 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 Board of Supervisors approved contracts for 18 full-time attorneys and 2 half-time attorneys in the consortium in June 2021. Philip Heithecker was appointed as a Superior Court Judge for the Butte County Superior Court and tendered his resignation as Executive Director of the consortium effective December 1, 2021. Kristen Cobery, who served as a half-time attorney, resigned from the consortium effective December 1, 2021. The consortium selected Nicole Diamond to serve as Executive Director, Matthew Bently to serve as a full-time attorney to fill Mrs. Diamond's Page 9 of 51 role, and Christopher Caraway to serve as a half-time attorney to fill Ms. Cobery's role. County Administration recommends amending the contract with Mrs. Diamond to incorporate compensation for administration of the consortium ($3,500/monthly) and to secure investigative services ($34,947.49/monthly). The contract will increase by $1,191,872.19 to $1,672,276.35 and the expiration date of June 30, 2024 will remain the same. The expenses for Mr. Heitheckers contract will go away and be replaced by Mrs. Diamond's contract, so there is no increase to the overall costs for indigent defense services. The Department recommends entering into a contract with Mr. Bently for indigent defense services. The term of the contract is December 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024; not -to -exceed $413,681.36, which is $13,344.56 per month.

(County Administration) ACTION REQUESTED - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN Staff Report Resolution 21-182 3.15 Resolution Re -authorizing Continued Teleconference Meetings of the Board of Supervisors pursuant to the Ralph M. Brown Act as amended by AB 361 Page 11 of 51 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 extend the findings every 30 days to continue to meet via teleconferencing under the alternative standards. The Board adopted a resolution on October 12, 2021 to continue to have the ability to meet remotely via teleconference by making the findings required by AB 361, and re -authorized the finding on November 9, 2021 and November 18, 2021. This resolution would re -authorize the ability to meet remotely via teleconference through January 12, 2022 or such time the Board adopts a subsequent resolution to continue this ability. (County Administration) ACTION REQUESTED - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN Staff Report Resolution 21-183 Public Comment Packet The following member(s) of the public submitted public comment for item 3.15: Diana Dreiss (electronic & in-person), Julia Teeter and John Miller -George. 3.16 Contracts with Michael Gallert; Jackson Glick; Andrew Morrissey; Sara Knowles; D. Marc Lyde; and Maria Lathrop Winter for the County Administrative Hearing Officer Program (Program) County Administration maintains a list of contracted attorneys for the Program, which provides a rotation of hearing officers to County Departments for a variety of cases made up primarily of hearings related to nuisance abatement, vehicle abatement, marijuana cultivation and animal control seizures. In March of 2021, the Board of Supervisors amended Program contracts with Michael Gallert; Jackson Glick; Andrew Morrissey; Sara Knowles; D. Marc Lyde; and Maria Lathrop Winter to add Page 12 of 51 Camp Fire and North Complex Fire related hearings to the scope of work, extend the term of each contract through December 31, 2021, and increase maximum payable by $51,000, not to exceed $75,000 per contract. County Administration recommends entering into new contracts with Michael Gallert; Jackson Glick; Andrew Morrissey; Sara Knowles; D. Marc Lyde; and Maria Lathrop Winter to support the Program. The term of each contract is January 1, 2022 through January 1, 2025, not to exceed $50,000 each contract and includes the scope of work for Camp Fire and North Complex Fire related hearings. (County Administration) ACTION REQUESTED - APPROVE CONTRACTS (6) AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN Staff Report 3.17 Workday Financial Conversation for Non -Operating Funds and Budget Adjustment The County will go live with Workday, the County's new financial and human resources system, at the end of the month. As part of this transition, the County is able to leverage the increased functionality of the Workday system to improve the County's accounting structure. In the current structure, a number of restricted funds are held in separate non-operating funds in order for those restricted balances to be maintained separately and carry from year-to-year. When those restricted funds are used, a journal entry is processed to move the restricted funds from the non-operating fund to the operating fund that the expense occurred in. While this system has worked, it requires an extra layer of budgeting and accounting to move the funds. In addition, the County's Annual Financial Report accounts for these non-operating funds as restricted balances of the related operating fund, and not as a separate non-operating fund. Workday functionality includes a fund hierarchy that allows the County to more closely match the financial and budget systems to the County's Annual Financial Report, and to reduce some of the extra budgeting and accounting work while still maintaining restricted funds separately. In Workday a single budget unit can cross multiple sub funds within the fund hierarchy of an operating fund which allows restricted fund balances to be held in a sub fund, be spent directly from the operating budget unit, and more closely align the County's budget, financial system and Annual Financial Reporting. As part of the Workday implementation, the Auditor -Controller and Chief Administrative Officer recommend a budget adjustment to move budgeted appropriation and revenue from current non-operating funds into Workday divisions and sub funds within the County's operating funds. This change results in reduced transfers between funds by Page 13 of 51 $69,182,825, and moves budgeted revenue from non-operating funds to operating funds. In addition, approval is recommended to transfer the balance of 52 non-operating funds to restricted balances of the related operating funds. (County Administration) ACTION REQUESTED - 1) APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED); AND 2) APPROVE TRANSFER OF THE BALANCE OF 52 NON- OPERATING FUNDS TO THE REDISTRICTED FUND BALANCE OF THE RELATED COUNTY OPERATING FUND Staff Report 3.18 Ratification of Agreement with Baron & Budd, P.C., Dixon Diab & Chambers, LLP, and Washington & Washington for Litigation Services Related to the Dixie Fire The Dixie Fire ignited in the Feather River Canyon in Butte County on July 13, 2021 and subsequently spread throughout portions of Plumas, Lassen, Shasta and Tehama counties. The affected counties are in the process of engaging the law firms of Baron & Budd, P.C., Dixon, Diab & Associates, LLP, and Washington & Washington, to initiate litigation against PG&E for the significant damages caused by the fire. These are the same law firms that represented Butte County in its previous lawsuit against PG&E for the damages caused by the Camp Fire. The agreement is funded solely from the recovery of monies and would be paid only if and when the litigation successfully concludes. The term of the agreement is from October 6, 2021 until the completion of the law firms' services, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement. (County Counsel) ACTION REQUESTED - RATIFY AGREEMENT Staff Report 3.19 Resolution Authorizing Butte County to Participate in the State Rental Assistance Program through the Federal Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) Program Round 2 The National Council of State Housing Agencies with administration provided by the US Treasury Department has made funding available to states through their local governments for emergency rental assistance. Total program funding of $21.55 billion is provided by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The funds are provided directly to States, U.S. territories, and local governments. It is anticipated that the Treasury may provide additional funds at a later date and the total amount that will be Page 14 of 51 allocated to Butte County is $7,851,579. ERA funding is intended for renter households in Butte County with incomes no more than 80 percent of area median income and that also meet additional program conditions. Eligible activities for funds include: rent, rental arrears, utilities and home energy costs; utilities and home energy arrears; or other expenses related to housing incurred directly or indirectly due to COVID-19. Funds may also be used for housing stability services, including case management or other services related to the pandemic as defined by the Treasury Secretary. The State of California is administering the program for Butte County, and ERA program funds received in Round 2 will be directed to the State similarly to Round 1. The Department of Employment and Social Services recommends the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution authorizing the County to participate in the State -administered program and complete all documents required, including the standard agreement. (Employment and Social Services) ACTION REQUESTED - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN Staff Report Resolution 21-184 3.20 Contract Amendment with Oroville Southside Community Improvement Association, Inc. (OSCIA) for Street Outreach Services The Butte Countywide Continuum of Care previously selected OSCIA - through the Department of Employment and Social Services, as the administrative entity - to prevent, prepare and respond to COVID-19 among individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness through street outreach services. The Department recommends amending the contract with OSCIA for street outreach operations and services to add an additional vehicle to transport laundry and meal services within the community. The maximum not -to -exceed price remains $520,000. As of November 8, 2021, OSCIA spent $427,816 of the contracted amount, leaving a balance of $92,183. The remaining balance would cover $39,754 for a vehicle and $46,000 for contracted meal costs. The term of the contract remains January 21, 2020 through June 30, 2022.

Youth for Change will also purchase incentive gift cards ahead of the PIT census count, arrange food services, and supply stipends for youth and adults to assist in the count. The Department recommends entering into a contract with Youth for Change for PIT census count. The term of this contract is December 14, 2021 through June 30, 2022, not -to -exceed $11,550 (Employment and Social Services) ACTION REQUESTED - APPROVE CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN Staff Report 3.22 Budget Adjustment and Capital Project for Domestic Hot Water Boilers and Water Heaters serving 3, 5 and 7 Gillick Way, Oroville for the Butte County Sheriff's Office The Butte County Jail and Sheriff's Office operates at 3, 5, and 7 Gillick Way, Oroville. These facilities, with a combined total of approximately 149,058 square feet, employ a combination of boiler and conventional water heater systems to deliver domestic hot water throughout the facilities. The boilers and water heaters are of roughly the same vintage, are past their average useful life, and have either failed or showing imminent failure. Under existing budget appropriations for the current year, four water heaters have been replaced and one boiler serving 5 Gillick Way is in the process of being replaced. The remaining equipment includes four boilers and three water heaters. It was planned to continue to keep this equipment functional and budget for it's replacement in the next fiscal year, however the failure rate has outpaced the plan which has been compounded by the discontinuance of all replacement parts to the boiler systems. As these system components fail, they cannot be replaced and the recent failures have removed all redundancies in the boiler systems. Should any of the remaining functional components fail prior to the repairs being made, emergency equipment will need to be rented to maintain the Jail hot water supply until the boilers can be replaced. The cost of equipment requires the project be accounted for as a capital asset. Of this total budget, $700,000 is attributed to the boiler Page 16 of 51 systems and $30,000 to the conventional water heater systems. The replacement of equipment, especially the boiler systems, can be anticipated to improve efficiency and reduce operating and utility costs. The Department of General Services recommends the Board of Supervisors approve an amendment to the Capital Improvement Plan and a $730,000 budget adjustment from general fund appropriation for contingencies to enable the Department to proceed with immediate replacement of the remaining boiler and water heater equipment serving these facilities. The Department of General Services will return to the Board of Supervisors for consideration of the actual construction contract subsequent to solicitation of bids.

Historically, this water flowed from the West Branch of the Feather River to the Miocene Canal and was ultimately delivered to the CWS treatment plant on the Thermalito Powers Canal. In 2014, the County entered into a letter agreement and three-year pilot program with the State Department of Water Resources (DWR) to allow up to 3,000 acre feet of the PG&E purchased water to be conveyed from the Canal to the Lime Saddle Powerhouse and Lake Oroville on an annual basis. The pilot program ended in December 2017 and was replaced by a 10 -year agreement from 2018 to 2027. The 2018 Camp Fire destroyed portions of the Miocene Canal, which prevents water from being delivered from the Canal to the Lime Saddle Powerhouse and Lake Oroville. Due to the State of Emergency resulting from the Camp Fire, the Water & Resource Conservation Department staff worked with DWR to amended the agreement to allow the CWS to redirect approximately 3,000 acre-feet of its contract PG&E water from an alternate point on the Upper Miocene Canal via a spillgate to the West Branch of the Feather River to Lake Oroville through Decemeber 31, 2021. The Department staff also worked with DWR to amend the agreement to increase the amount of water conveyed by 50 acre feet in 2020 to 3,050 acre feet and a decrease by 50 acre feet in 2021 to 2,950 acre feet. The alternate diversion point delivers PG&E water to CWS, Page 38 of 51 which is the water supply for the majority of the City of Oroville. The project uses existing facilities to provide water to endpoint users and would not result in the need to expand facilities to accommodate flows. The Department prepared a Notice of Exemption per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), section 15301(b) -Existing Facilities for the diversion of water from the alternate spillgate location. Given that the Miocene Canal system continues to be inoperable and the timing and status of reconstruction is unknown, the Department, DWR, and CWS are proposing to amend the existing agreement to continue to allow for the diversion of water from the alternate spillgate location. The Department recommends the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution certifying the Notice of Exemption and direct staff to amend the agreement with DWR to allow for the continued use of the alternate point of diversion from the Upper Miocene Canal spillgate to the West Branch of the Feather River through the end of the agreement in 2027.

The Department, in collaboration with Pacific West Communities (PWC), is proposing to develop Oleander Community Housing, an affordable housing apartment complex that will serve extremely low and low-income homeless adults. The 1.3 acre site is owned by PWC and located off the Esplanade in Chico (APN 006-100-09). This 38 -unit gated project consists of 21 studio units, 16 one -bedroom units and 1 two-bedroom unit (reserved for the on-site resident manager). Fifteen of the one -bedroom units will serve NPLH eligible tenants. The balance of the available units will be available to homeless adults. The Department will provide supportive services to the 15 supportive housing tenants and submit a joint application with PWC to the State Housing and Community Development NPLH Program. PWC will be the developer and form a limited partnership and coordinate the architectural design, local project approvals, and secure other affordable housing funding for the pre -development, construction, provide project management throughout the building and close the permanent loans. Page 40 of 51 The Butte County Affordable Housing Development Corporation will act as the managing general partner and own and operate the project. A third party, the John Stewart Company, will provide the property management for the apartment complex. The Department will access the Butte Countywide Homeless Continuum of Care's Coordinated Entry System for tenant referrals, document NPLH eligibility for homelessness and severe mental health disabilities, and provide supportive services NPLH eligible tenants. It is anticipated that the Department will apply for a total of $3,472,005 in grant funds.

The Department of Public Works has proposed a modification to Condition No. 16.

Motion moved by Supervisor Ritter; Seconded by Supervisor Lucero. Motion passed unanimously. 5.02 10:30AM - Timed Item - Butte Countv 2021 Climate Action Plan The proposed 2021 Climate Action Plan (CAP) identifies greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets for 2030, 2040, and 2050, and describes how the County will reduce both community -wide and government operations GHG emissions to achieve these targets. The CAP contains strategies and actions that are designed to help the County sustain its natural resources, grow efficiently, ensure long-term resiliency to a changing environmental and economic climate, and improve transportation. The CAP also contains strategies and actions for energy efficiency and renewable energy, alternative fuel vehicles and equipment, transportation, water use, agriculture, and solid waste. The CAP supports statewide greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals identified in State Assembly Bill (AB) 32 and Senate Bill (SB) 32 (Pavley). Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Addendum to the General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared for this project. Because the proposed 2021 CAP does not result in new development potential beyond that identified in the 2030 General Plan, and all future development is subject to existing Page 42 of 51 development standards, implementation of the proposed CAP would not result in new or additional impacts. The Butte County Planning Commission voted 3-0 (two Commissioners were absent) recommending the adoption of the CAP by the Board of Supervisors. In making this motion, the Planning Commission indicated that additional context needed to be included in the CAP regarding the recent historic fires and disasters, agricultural practices and how they would be accounted for under the CAP. The attached CAP includes the information directed by the Planning Commission.
