3.14 Budget Adjustment and Contract with Cal Custom Enterprises, Inc. for Jail Transport Van Upfitting
In FY 2020-21 the Sheriff's Office issued a purchase order for two new jail inmate transport vans.
Due to supply chain issues caused by COVID-19 there was a significant delay in production of the
vans. Both vans were not received until earlier this fiscal year. The vans require extensive custom
sheet metal fabrication and installation of custom heating and air conditioning systems to allow
safe transportation of inmates. Since the vans were not received in a timely manner the original
quote for upfitting the vans expired. In December 2022, the Department published a Request for
Proposals to obtain new quotes for upfitting the vans and received no responses. Department
staff identified Cal Custom Enterprises, Inc. in Durham as willing and able to perform the work
needed on the vans. Due to the delay in receipt of the vans and other supply chain issues and
labor cost increases over the last two years, the overall cost of the materials and labor more than
tripled. The Department is requesting a budget adjustment of $87,000 to increase appropriations
in order to pay for the difference between the original amount budgeted and the cost of the
contract. The Department recommends utilizing the Inmate Welfare funds to pay for the
increased cost. The Department recommends entering into a contract with Cal Custom
Enterprises, Inc. for jail transport van upfitting. The term of the contract begins upon execution

area. The Board has committed funds to 24 projects for a total of $89 million since adopting the
policy. The Assessor's Office has been adversely impacted by the Camp Fire in many ways. First,
before the Camp Fire, total FTEs in the department was 39. Now, that number is 35. Additionally
there are overwhelming requests for calamity applications and reappraisals, ownership changes,
appraisal of new improvements, and many other tasks pertaining to the accurate assessment of
property values for property tax services. This dynamic has created an overload of work on the
existing staff; which has resulted in staff turnover and loss of institutional knowledge. In
researching efforts to alleviating these issues, County Administration recommends approval of a
contract with Just Appraised, Inc., which is a software developed for assessment functions. It
enhances departmental workflow in performing change of ownership duties. Once implemented,
the software will save staff time and significantly reduce the above mentioned workload. The total
project cost is for $218,839 and the contract is for $151,725. The contract has a three year term
beginning May 1, 2023 and terminates April 30, 2026. This product has been deemed sole source
and was exempted from competitive bid. This request for PG&E funding is for $68,839, which
represents the difference between the total project cost of $218,839 and the $150,000 that is
budgeted in FY 2023-24 for this project — action requested - 1) APPROVE CONTRACT AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND 2) COMMIT $68,839 IN PG&E FUNDS FOR JUST APPRAISED.

BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA - APRIL 25, 2023
4.09 Court Reporters for the Butte County Superior Court - Supervisor Ritter, with concurrence of Chair
Kimmelshue, requested an item be agendized to discuss court reporters in Butte County and to
have a conversation related to their salary and the current situation. California courts must
provide court reporters in felony criminal, dependency, and delinquency juvenile courtrooms.
Court reporters are not statutorily required to be provided by the courts in civil, family law,
probate, misdemeanor criminal and traffic courtrooms. Retaining and recruiting court reporters
has been an issue for courts across the State for years and many courts are routinely unable to
cover non -mandated case types including civil, family law, and probate. Courts are a State
function as of 1997. The State appropriated $30,000,000 in the Budget Act of 2021 to increase
the number of court reporters in family law and civil law cases. The Budget Act of 2022 clarified
the funding may be used for recruitment and retention purposes. Courts have used the funds in
varying ways to address the retention and recruitment of court reporters. A press release issued
by the Superior Courts of California on November 2, 2022 indicates funding is not a viable solution
as there are no qualified people for these positions. The Courts indicate a solution is needed that
allows alternative means to creating a record in civil, family law and probate courtrooms. The
Board of Supervisors received a letter from a court reporter employed by the Butte County
Superior Court outlining concerns with salaries and the use of remote court reporters. Butte
County is not the employer of record for court reporters and does not negotiate with these court
employees as a result of a 1999 agreement between Butte County and the Superior Court, which
began the process of separating Butte County and the Butte County Superior Court. The function
of employee negotiations with court reporters remains with the courts pursuant to Government
Code sections 71600-71618 added by the Trial Court Employment Protection and Governance Act
— action requested — ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION. (County Administration)
4.10 Resolution of Intent Directing Commencement of Procedures to Impose an Increased Maximum
Service Charge in County Service Area (CSA) 82 Stirling City and Set a Public Hearing to Consider
Such Charge - CSA 82 manages the Stirling City sewer collection system, which provides sanitary
sewer services to 95 parcels. The sewer collection system was originally built in 1942. From 1960
to 1981, the Stirling City Sewer Maintenance District maintained the system before being
dissolved in 1981. The District was replaced by CSA 82 to continue sewer maintenance services.
The CSA consists of approximately 5,500 feet of underground pipe. The sewer system's lower
section was replaced in 2006, while the upper section has not been rehabilitated and is failing.
The State Water Resources Control Board (State) awarded the CSA a $1.2 million grant to replace
the upper section of the sewage collection system. However, the grant requires a fiscal
sustainability plan to ensure adequate ongoing maintenance of the new system. The Department
of Public Works and District 5 Supervisor met with the community last summer to discuss the
project, grant, and potential funding increase. In August 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved
$128,938 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to pay for ongoing required State
permitting, monitoring, administrative costs, and other related operations. The current CSA
maximum per parcel service charge is insufficient to meet future maintenance needs and does
not meet the fiscal sustainability requirements of the grant. The Department recommends
scheduling a protest hearing for June 13, 2023, to consider increases to the annual parcel charges
for CSA 82. The Department recommends: 1) increasing the maximum parcel charge to allow for
annual rate increases as outlined in the staff report submitted with this item 2) including an
annual Consumer Price Index inflationary rate adjustment to the parcel charges beginning in FY
2032-33. CSA 82 may lose the loan opportunity if the proposed assessments are not approved.
Subsequently, the parcel owners will be responsible for the costs associated with replacing the
upper sewer system — action requested - 1) SET A PROTEST HEARING ON JUNE 13, 2023 TO
CONSIDER SUCH CHARGE; 2) ADOPT RESOLUTION OF INTENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO
SIGN. (Public Works)

4.11 Update on Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) Activities - The Department of Water and
Resource Conservation will provide the Board of Supervisors with an update on the following GSA
Activities: 1) Sustainable Groundwater Management Grant Program Applications submittals for
the Vina, Wyandotte Creek, and Butte subbasins with a combined total request of $22.7 million
were submitted on December 16, 2022. It is anticipated the draft award list will be issued in June
2023 with the final award list posted October 2023, and grant agreements finalized November
2023 - January 2024; 2) Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) Compliance Annual
Reports were completed and submitted prior to the April 1, 2023 deadline. Each report describes
how the GSAs are progressing in their efforts to implement their Groundwater Sustainability Plans
(GSP); 3) Developing a Long-term Funding Mechanism for the Vina and Wyandotte Creek GSAs.
The Vina and Wyandotte Creek GSAs are following parallel tracks for implementing their funding
mechanisms. It is anticipated that their fee approvals will be completed in July 2023, with
proposed fees submitted to the Assessor's Office by the August 10, 2023 deadline to be included
on the 2024 tax roll. The County's consultant prepared the Vina GSA Technical Memorandum
summarizing the long-term funding needs and options to facilitate approval of a long-term
funding mechanism over a five year planning horizon. The County's consultant is currently
completing the Wyandotte Creek GSA long-term funding Technical Memorandum, which is
anticipated to be completed April 20, 2023. The Vina and Wyandotte Creek GSAs developed
budget projections assuming they would engage Butte County and the Department of Water and
Resource Conservation to hire a position to oversee GSA administration activities. The position
would be funded by the Vina and Wyandotte Creek GSAs. The Department recommends the
Board provide direction to staff regarding an agreement with the GSAs to fund a position in the
Department; 4) The GSAs located in the Butte Subbasin are considering long-term cost sharing
options to fund SGMA compliance and GSP implementation. GSA managers are coordinating to
hire a consultant to aide in this process — action requested — PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF.

5. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS
5.01 9:30AM — Timed Item — Resolution Authorizing the Temporary Closure of McIntosh Avenue to
Vehicular Traffic Approximately just East of its Intersection with Diamond Avenue - McIntosh
Avenue is a local county -maintained road west of Dayton Road in the unincorporated area of
Chico. While much of the road serves nearby residents, a section of McIntosh Avenue east of
Diamond Avenue provides no significant public access and serves no public purpose. The County
abandoned most of this section of the road roughly a century ago. It's unclear why the County did
not abandon the remaining strip of McIntosh Avenue at that time. The road's remote nature and
limited public visibility attract illegal dumping and other illegal activity. The Department of Public
Works frequently responds to resident -driven complaints of illegal dumping along this portion of
McIntosh Avenue. Residents have asked the Department to consider temporarily closing this
portion of the road to the public to deter this illegal activity. Per California Vehicle Code section
21101.4, local authorities may adopt rules and regulations by ordinance or resolution to
temporarily close roads when the following conditions are met: 1) The County Sheriff's Office
supports the closure of the roadway due to serious and continual illegal dumping; 2) The roadway
is not designated as a through highway or arterial street; 3) Vehicular or pedestrian traffic
contributes to serious and continual illegal dumping on the roadway; and 4) The closure will not
substantially adversely affect traffic flow, safety on the adjacent streets or surrounding
neighborhoods, the operation of emergency vehicles, the performance of municipal or public
utility services, or the delivery of freight by commercial vehicles in the area. All of these conditions
have been met. The Department has completed all necessary public noticing requirements and
recommends the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution authorizing the temporary closure of
McIntosh Avenue at Diamond Avenue in Chico for a period of 18 months through October 25,
2024. Further temporary closure of McIntosh Avenue at this location may be renewed for an
additional 18 months for up to eight additional consecutive periods as approved by the Board —
action requested — ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)
5.02 10:20AM —Timed Item —Application for Outdoor Festival License for From the Ground Up Farms
MISC23-0008 - From the Ground Up Farm Festival — From the Ground Up Farms has submitted an
application for an Outdoor Festival License per Chapter 12, Article III. Outdoor Festivals. The
festival is proposed for three days, Friday, June 23, 2023 to Sunday, June 25, 2023 from 3:00 p.m.
to 12:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday. The applicant
anticipates a maximum of 100 attendees each day. The festival site (Lake Concow Campground)
is located at 12967 Concow Road, north east of Oroville (APNs: 058-350-001, 058-350-002, 058-
350-003 & 058-230-010). The festival is proposed to feature outdoor arts, culture, music, and
healing activities. The Department of Development Services completed an environmental review
of the application, completed a site visit and determined since no permanent structures will be
built, the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
per Section 15304 (e) of the CEQA Guidelines - "Minor temporary use of land having negligible or
no permanent effects on the environment, including carnivals, etc." The Department
recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the application for an outdoor festival license,
subject to the recommended conditions related to: amplified sound, potable water, solid waste
management, restroom and hand washing stations, wastewater management, fire control,
encroachment permits for applicable signs, traffic control, dust control, insurance requirements,
and outreach to California Highway Patrol — action requested - FIND THE FESTIVAL TO BE
CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT UNDER SECTION 15304(E) OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT AND APPROVE THE APPLICATION FOR AN OUTDOOR FESTIVAL LICENSE (MISC23-
0008), SUBJECT TO THE RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS. (Development Services)
