3.13 Resolution Authorizing Interfund Loan Terms from the PG&E Settlement Fund to the Probation
Department to Finance Constructing a New Building for the Probation Administration Offices -
The County's Probation building is comprised of multiple mobile structures combined with site
improvements that are failing. The County's Capital Improvement Program budgets for
constructing a new building and demolishing the current failing facility. Funding for the project
consists of $1.7 million from the Criminal Justice Facilities Construction Fund, $0.8 million from
Facility Reserve, and $24 million in long-term financing. On September 13, 2022 the Board of
Supervisors committed up to $24 million from the PG&E Settlement Fund to provide an interfund
loan for the long-term financing that is needed. Borrowing from the PG&E Settlement Fund versus
borrowing from a private lender allows the project to realize substantial savings in interest
expense and other financing costs. There is no financial impact to the PG&E Settlement Fund since
the funds will continue earning interest at the same rate. The $24 million interfund loan will be
funded on January 1, 2023 to pay planning and permitting costs included in the Fiscal Year 2022-
23 budget. Project construction is anticipated to begin in Fiscal Year 2023-24 and is expected to
last through December 31, 2025. Interest only payments will be made during construction. After
construction the interfund loan will be amortized over thirty years. The first principal and interest
payment will be due January 1st, 2027 and the final payment will be due January 1st, 2056. The
interest rate on the borrowed funds will be the average County Treasury Pool rate for the four
quarters immediately preceding each established annual January 1st payment. Principal
repayment will be structured to maintain equal annual principal and interest payments over the
life of the interfund loan, however the annual payment will vary as the interest rate fluctuates.
Additional lump -sum principal payments will be allowed in addition to the required annual
principal and interest payments — action requested — ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE
CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration)

3.32 Capital Asset Purchase and Budget Adjustment - Workday Phase Two Implementation Tenants -
On January 26, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved an agreement with Workday, Inc. for an
enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The Workday ERP system includes financial, human
resources, timekeeping, payroll, grants, projects and the related security and integrations. The
County is currently implementing phase two of Workday, including the employee benefits
functionality. The purchase of two additional subscription tenants is required to meet critical end -
of -year deadlines. A tenant is described as a unique instance of the Workday service that requires
its own secure computing environment. New or updated configurations, reports, data validation,
security and integrations must be vetted and tested in a tenant separate from production to
mitigate risk of interruption to business -critical processes. The County needs two tenants for
configuration and testing purposes: one will be used for three months during phase two
implementation and one will be permanent. The monthly cost for each tenant is $2,200 for a total
cost of $22,000 in FY 2022-23. This purchase is allowed per the terms of the original agreement
with Workday. The Department of Information Systems recommends the Board approve the
capital asset purchase of two Workday tenants and approve the budget adjustment for $22,000
— action requested - 1) APPROVE CAPITAL ASSET PURCHASE (2); AND 2) APPROVE BUDGET

two purchases: one asphalt trench paver increase by 61.5% or $92,000 for a revised total price of
$242,000, and one crane body service truck increase by 48.5% or $53,100 for a revised total price
of $163,100. Savings from budgeted capital asset vehicle will pay for the increase in expenses.

Maintenance Project on the Mud -Sycamore Creek Levee System - The Department of Public
Works serves as the local maintenance entity for the Mud and Sycamore Creek levees in the Chico
area. Levee operations and maintenance activities are funded by County Service Area 24 - Chico -
Mud Creek Drainage District, which includes 15,200 parcels. The levees are part of the State's
flood control system and are eligible for specific programs and funding opportunities through the
DWR. The Department has utilized the DWR sponsored Deferred Maintenance Project, which uses
State General Funds and bond funds to investigate gravity drain pipes under levees. The
preliminary investigation identified 18 pipes eligible for rehabilitation and four pipes eligible for
removal and replacement. Since that time, DWR determined that only three pipes qualified for
removal and replacement. The overall value of the maintenance work on the levee systems
exceeds $1.25 million. On September 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors adopted three
resolutions approving the County's participation in the Deferred Maintenance Project and
authorizing the Director of Public Works to execute the agreement. The Deferred Maintenance
Project was divided into two phases. The first phase rehabilitated 18 pipes and was completed
this summer. The second phase will remove and replace three pipes and is scheduled for
construction next summer. Maintenance work costs have increased since the execution of the
initial agreement in January 2022. DWR requires a resolution to accept the increase in funds
awarded by DWR for the Deferred Maintenance Project for the Mud -Sycamore Creek Levee
System. The Department recommends the Board adopt the resolution accepting the funds for the
Deferred Maintenance Project and authorize the Director of Public Works to sign any non -
substantive amendments to the agreement with DWR for any additional disbursements. The

Delta Conveyance Project (DCP) Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). As part of the DCP EIR scoping process, the Board
of Supervisors provided a scoping comment letter dated April 16, 2020 recommending issues that
the DCP EIR should address. These concerns included: 1) the DCP must honor the water right
priority system and area of origin water rights and not redirect impacts to the northern
Sacramento Valley; 2) the DCP should account for the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act
(SGMA), emphasize the principle of regional self-reliance, and assess groundwater impacts
upstream of the Delta; 3) the DCP EIR should fully disclose any plans to incorporate north of Delta
groundwater basins into the State Water Project; 4) the DCP EIR must fully describe the project's
socioeconomic impacts in every impacted area; 5) the DCP EIR should consider non -conveyance
alternatives; 6) the DCP EIR should evaluate water supply reliability and other implications of
climate change; and 7) The DCP must clearly identify funding sources. On July 27, 2022, DWR
published the Draft EIR for public review. Public comments on the EIR are due by December 16,
2022. On November 2, 2022, the Water Commission reviewed the Board's scoping comment
letter and discussed additional concerns, directed staff to draft an EIR comment letter on behalf
of the Board, and formed an ad hoc committee to review the draft letter. The Water Commission
ad hoc committee met on November 28, 2022 to review the EIR comment letter. The EIR
comment letter discusses whether or not the DCP EIR addresses the Board's previous concerns
and concluded that the following additional analyses and discussions must be conducted prior to
finalizing the EIR: 1) ensure that any changes in operation do not redirect impacts to the northern
Sacramento Valley; 2) adequately account for the implementation of SGMA; 3) consider that
some of the water supplies historically exported may not be available in the future; 4) assess the
potential impacts for all environmental topic areas upstream of the Delta region; 5) include a
broader analysis of water supply and reliability discussions; 6) evaluate potential changes in
operations and the direct and indirect impacts associated with those changes; and 7) clearly
identify funding sources for the DCP. The Water Commission ad hoc committee recommends the
Board approve the proposed comment letter — action requested — APPROVE LETTER AND

services. The contract was amended on July 23, 2019 with term ending June 30, 2022. On June
14, 2022, the Board approved a temporary six-month contract extension with SCS Engineers and
directed the Department to issue an updated Request for Qualifications for environmental
monitoring services at the NRRWF. The Department advertised a Request for Qualifications from
August 5, 2022 through September 7, 2022, and received two Statement of Qualifications. The
Department conducted a multi -step review process of both Statements of Qualifications, which
included reviews from parties outside of the Department. After a thorough and impartial review
of the Statements of Qualifications, SCS Engineers of Sacramento was determined to be the most
qualified firm. The Department recommends the Board approve an agreement with SCS Engineers
for environmental monitoring services at NRRWF. The term of the contract is January 1, 2023,
through December 31, 2025, not -to -exceed $1,255,184—action requested—APPROVE CONTRACT
AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)
4.14 Contract Amendment with Dokken Engineering for On -Call Engineering Services - On October 26,

Department has additional projects that include bridge right-of-way services for the East Rio
Bonito Bridge across Hamilton Slough projects. The total cost for the two projects is $304,000.
The Department recommends amending the contract with Dokken Engineering to increase the
maximum payable amount by $500,000 not -to -exceed $1,000,000 to support the two current
projects and ensure funds are available for additional on-call services. All other contract terms

Works Infrastructure Master Plan, the Department has planned to replace an existing narrow and
load -restricted bridge on Ord Ferry Road at the crossing of Little Chico Creek. The Ord Ferry Road
Bridge is located 3.6 miles west of the community of Dayton and southwest of the City of Chico.

support services during Project construction. The amendment extends the contract term by 15
months through November 30, 2025, and increases the maximum payable amount by $147,770,
not -to -exceed $1,068,039. All other terms remain the same — action requested — APPROVE THE

4.16 Approve the Butte County Department of Public Works Purchasing and Procurement Policy and
Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 46 of the Butte County Code entitled
"Purchasing" - The Butte County Center -Led Contracting/Procurement Policies and Procedures
Manual (Center -Led Manual) was most recently adopted by the Board of Supervisors in May 2016
to provide policies and procedures for core procurement functions under Government Code
section 54202. While the Center -Led Manual applies to most County departments and provides
authority to the Department of General Services, it delegates contract authority directly from the
Board of Supervisors to the Road Commissioner and the Director of Public Works by way of the
Butte County Code. Per section B.3, the Center -Led Manual does not govern the contracting or
procurement made by the Department of Public Works, the Director of Public Works, or the Road
Commissioner for Public Works projects, except when the General Services Department makes
purchases or contracts on their behalf, at their request. In coordination with County Counsel and
the Department of General Services, the Department of Public Works developed a purchasing and
procurement policy to articulate the policies and procedures for purchasing and procurement
within the authority of the Road Commissioner and Director of Public Works. The Department
recommends the Board approve the Butte County Department of Public Works Purchasing and
Procurement Policy and adopt an ordinance amending Chapter 46 of the Butte County Code,
entitled "Purchasing" to include reference to the Butte County Department of Public Works
Purchasing and Procurement Policy — action requested - 1) APPROVE BUTTE COUNTY
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS PURCHASING AND PROCUREMENT POLICY; AND 2) WAIVE THE
FIRST READING OF THE ORDINANCE ENTITLED "AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNTY OF BUTTE
AMENDING CHAPTER 46 ENTITLED, "PURCHASING". (Public Works)

4.17 Fire Victims Trust Camp Fire Claims Public Survey Results - At its June 14, 2022 meeting, the Board
of Supervisors directed staff to develop a voluntary, anonymous survey to be sent out to all Camp
Fire survivors to gather input on their interactions with the Fire Victim Trust. Staff developed the
Camp Fire Claims Public Survey to understand the status of claims and payments resulting from
Camp Fire losses and the overall fairness of the private claims process being used. Survey
questions were developed to help the County better understand the concerns of claimants, and
determine whether any particular concerns are widely held. The survey opened on September 8,
2022, with a link to the survey available on the Butte County web site home page. Paper copies
of the survey were available at all Butte County Library Branches, and a PDF version of the survey
was available on-line for those who preferred to print and mail their own copy to the Butte County
Administration office. Responding to the survey was voluntary, and respondents were requested
to complete one survey per household. There were 54 questions total within three categories
(Personal, Business and Minors). Respondents were asked to answer only those questions
applicable to their household; and if they did not have Camp Fire Claims, they were asked not to
complete the survey. The survey took approximately 6 minutes to complete. The survey asked for
no personal identifying information and was anonymous. The survey closed on Tuesday, October
25, 2022, after running for more than four weeks. The total number of responses submitted on-
line and on paper was 1,491. An executive summary of results is presented for discussion and
further direction to staff — action requested — PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF. (Other — Board of

5. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS
5.01. 11:00AM — Timed Item - ADDeal of Planning Commission's Denial of a Tentative Parcel Ma
(TPM22-0005/Royal) - The applicant for a Tentative Parcel Map (TPM22-0005), Larry Royal, has
filed an appeal of the Butte County Planning Commission's November 10, 2022 denial of the
Tentative Parcel Map application. The Department of Development Services recommends that
the Board uphold the appeal and approve the Tentative Parcel Map as set forth in the Resolution
included in the agenda packet. The project proposes to divide a 301.5 acre property,
encompassing both an AG -40 and G -C zone, with Agriculture and Retail General Plan designations,
into one parcel of 40 acres, and a designated remainder of 260 acres. The subject parcel is
developed with an existing commercial use called the "Earthworm Soil Factory", a retail farm store
with agricultural facilities. The subject parcel fronts on Clark Road/SR-191 and Durham-Pentz
Road. The parcel frontage is unimproved without curb, gutter, and sidewalk. The proposed Parcel
will include the existing commercial zone and use and retain access from Clark Road/SR-191. The
Planning Commission denied the project on a 4-1 vote. The Planning Commission indicated
concern regarding the staff proposed California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines
Section 15061 Common Sense Exemption. Four members of the public spoke concerning
environmental impacts of the project, primarily regarding impacts to biological resources and
groundwater. Additionally, letters have been received in opposition to the project. Staff has
reviewed the appeal and all public comment submitted. Staff supports the CEQA Common Sense
Exemption as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the project will have a
significant effect on the environment. No further development is proposed under this project.
The Planning Commission staff report and record from the hearing are included in the agenda
packet — action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION UPHOLDING THE APPEAL AND APPROVING THE
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP (TPM22-0005/ROYAL), AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.
(Development Services)
5.02. 1:30PM —Timed Item - 2022 Classification and Compensation Study Summary - At its March 24,
2020 meeting, the Board of Supervisors approved a contract with Koff & Associates for a County-
wide Classification and Total Compensation Study. The County's goals for the study were to
identify a competitive pay and benefit plan based on market data which would assist in the
recruitment and retention of staff as well as outline equitable internal classification relationships.
The Class/Comp Study began in April of 2021 and was completed in June 2022. Butte County
employees completed approximately 1300 Position Description Questionnaires, Koff review 503
job classifications and performed over 800 employee and management interviews. The study
collected a total of 204 benchmark classification salary and benefit data from the County's
negotiated comparator counties. The data revealed the County classifications were on average
6.5% below the market in salary and 12.8% below the market in total compensation. With Board
direction the implementation of the study data included classification salaries increasing to
market median over a 3 year period and an increase to the County's contribution to health
insurance and cashback. Implementation will help the County be more competitive in the job
market with greater ability to recruit and retain quality staff — action requested — ACCEPT FOR
INFORMATION. (Human Resources)

5.03. 1:40PM —Timed Item - Fiscal Year 2022-23 Mid -year Budget Adjustment and Position Allocation
Schedule for Classification and Compensation Increases. and Resolution Amending Library Hours
The Board of Supervisors adopted the FY 2022-23 budget on July 26, 2022 setting appropriations
for the fiscal year. The Board adopted new agreements with the County's employee bargaining
groups after completion of a classification and compensation study. The increased costs for
employee salaries and benefits were not included in the FY 2022-23 adopted budget. The
estimated increased costs total $26.3 million for FY 2022-23 with $9 million of that in the General
Fund. County Administration recommends the Board approve a mid -year budget adjustment
(Schedule C) and changes to the positions allocation to accommodate the increases. The increases
will be offset by 1) deleting 103 vacant positions, of which 68 are in the General Fund; 2)
budgeting new revenue and using fund balance where possible, which is primarily in non -General
Fund departments; 3) using $610,000 in one-time funding and $1,250,361 of the General Fund
Appropriation for Contingency to allow departments to strategically manage these increases; and
4) reducing the budgets for the Fire Department and the Library, which will result in services
reductions in order to maintain law enforcement services. The budget adjustment also includes
increased appropriations for one-time payments to employees, which were included in the
employee agreements. The appropriations are offset by American Rescue Plan Act funds for
departments in the General Fund, Child Support Services, and some divisions of DESS typically
funded by the General Fund transfer to Social Services and offset by reducing appropriations,
adding revenue, using fund balance, or transferring funds from a restricted sub fund in non -
General Fund departments — action requested - 1) APPROVE THE SCHEDULE C AND DIRECT STAFF
TO ADJUST THE FY 2022-23 BUDGET (4/5TH VOTE REQUIRED); 2) APPROVE THE RECOMMENDED
POSITION ALLOCATION BY DEPARTMENT AND DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE A SALARY ORDINANCE
AMENDMENT; AND 3) ADOPT RESOLUTION AMENDING LIBRARY HOURS. (COUNTY
ADMINSTRATION)
5.04. 2:15PM — Timed Item - Library Funding Structure - At the June 28, 2022 Board of Supervisors
Meeting, staff presented a report outlining the costs and funding structure of the Butte County
Library. During deliberation of the item, the Board raised a number of questions that staff were
directed to do additional research on. Staff are now returning with this information — action
requested — PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF. (County Administration)
