3.19 Contract Amendments for On -Call Professional Land Surveying
Services
The removal of FEMA eligible hazard trees from the County right-
of-way in the North Complex Fire footprint by CalOES was
approved on February 24, 2021. To facilitate the removal efforts by
CalOES, the County needed to delineate the public road right-of-
way. The Department of Public Works lacked staff capacity to
complete the right-of-way delineation in the required timeframe,
and the Department recommended procuring on-call contracts for
land surveying services to support this process. These on-call
contracts also provide additional capacity for other land surveying
needs. On March 23, 2021, the Board of Supervisors entered into
six on-call contracts for land surveying services, each with a term
of March 23, 2021, through March 23, 2025, for a maximum not -

public road right-of-way is complex and two of the six on-call
contracts need to be amended to provide additional funding
capacity for future task orders to complete the North Complex Fire
right-of-way delineation and other land surveying needs. The
Department recommends amending the contracts with NorthStar
of Chico, and Rolls, Anderson, and Rolls, of Chico, to increase the
payable amount by $200,000 for a maximum not -to -exceed

S. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS
5.01 9:30AM - Timed Item - American Rescue Plan Act (ABPA) Funding
Proposals
On March 11, 2021, the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan of 2021
was signed into law. The law is designed to address impacts from
the COVID-19 pandemic including public health and economic
impacts. Of the $1.9 trillion, $350 billion is dedicated to the
Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds for State, local,
territorial, and tribal governments. On May 10, 2021, the U.S.
Department of Treasury released the Interim Final Rule guidance
for the local ARPA Funds, of which Butte County was allocated
$42.5 million. The County received the first half of the allocation
on May 24, 2021 and expects the second half in May 2022. The
ARPA guidance states that funds may be used to support pandemic
response needs and rebuild a stronger, more equitable economy.
Eligible uses must be in response to the disease itself or the
harmful consequences of the economic disruption resulting from
or exacerbated by the COVID-19 public health emergency. Similar
to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act,
recipients have the flexibility to use eligible funding to meet the
individual needs of their community. Eligible uses fall into one of
four categories: 1) Support urgent COVID-19 response efforts; 2)
Replace lost public sector revenue; 3) Support immediate
economic stabilization; and 4) Address systemic public health and
economic challenges that have had an inequal impact on certain
populations. On July 20, 2021, Departments presented 46 project
or program concepts to the Board of Supervisors to consider for
ABPA funding. The Board directed staff to add details to many of
the proposals and present the projects to the Board for
consideration. Departments have collectively developed 31
proposals for a total of $40.6 million in ABPA funding. A full list of
the proposals and the request amount along with a detailed
description for each proposal is included. (County Administration)
ACTION REQUESTED - 1) REVIEW ARPA PROPOSALS; 2) COMMIT
ARPA FUNDING TO SELECTED PROPOSALS AND APPROVE BUDGET
ADJUSTMENTS, UPDATES TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN,
AND CAPITAL ASSET PURCHASES AS APPLICABLE (4/5 VOTE

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. If the Board desires to continue to have the
ability to meet remotely via teleconference, the Board is required
to adopt a resolution making the findings required by AB 361. This
resolution would be effective through November 11, 2021 or such
time the Board adopts a subsequent resolution to continue this
ability. (County Counsel/County Administration)

2.02 Approval For New Minimum Wage: In -Home Support
Services (IHSS) Public Authority (PA) Rate Change Request
California Labor Code increases the minimum wage for all
industries to $15.00 per hour effective January 1, 2022.
Counties with an IHSS provider wage less than $15.00 per
hour as of December 31, 2021 are required to submit an
IHSS PA rate change request to the California Department of
Social Services (CDSS). Butte County's IHSS provider wages
are currently $14.00 per hour. On August 24, 2021 the IHSS
PA Board adopted a Successor Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) to provide a $0.50 per hour
supplemental wage increase in addition to the State
minimum wage. Upon approval by CDSS, which is expected
to be November 1, 2021, the rate will become $14.50 per
hour. The Department of Employment and Social Services
requests that the IHSS PA Board approve and submit the
required rate change request to CDSS to allow
implementation of the new $15.00 per hour minimum wage.
This will increase IHSS provider wages to $15.50 per hour
effective January 1, 2022. The cost increase for service hours
are covered by State and federal funds under the IHSS
Maintenance of Effort (MOE) agreement. For FY 2021-22,
the Board approved a budget of $426,955 for the IHSS
administrative program. This equates to approximately $0.08
in administrative costs per IHSS service hours based on
current service hour projections. There is no impact to the
FY 2021-22 administrative IHSS budget. (Employment and
