5.11 Contract with Redistricting Partners to Manage Butte County 2021
Redistricting Process
Every 10 years, Supervisorial District boundaries are drawn through a
redistricting process to ensure that each district has the same number of
people. Historically, the Board of Supervisors has had broad latitude in
drawing boundaries that are equal in population, balanced, and non-
discriminatory. In October 2019, Governor Newsom signed into law AB
849, The Fair and Inclusive Redistricting for Municipalities and Political
Subdivisions (FAIR MAPS) Act, which substantially altered the
redistricting process. The FAIR MAPS Act specifies redistricting criteria
and deadlines for the adoption of new boundaries by the Board of
Supervisors, specifies hearing procedures that allow the public to
provide input on the placement of boundaries and on proposed
boundary maps, and requires the Board to take specified steps to
encourage the residents of the local jurisdiction to participate in the
redistricting process. The requirements of the FAIR MAPS Act are
complicated and require expertise in demographics, cartography, and
statistics. During the April 13, 2021 Board of Supervisors meeting, staff
was directed to seek a consultant to manage and guide this process.
After the completion of a competitive solicitation, staff recommends
entering into a contract with Redistricting Partners of Sacramento to
manage the 2021 redistricting process in Butte County. The contract
term is June 22, 2021 through June 1, 2022, not -to -exceed $80,000.

5.12 Contract with Tetra Tech, Inc. for Insurance Recovery Services for the
State Operated Debris Removal and Hazard Tree Removal Proerams for
Camp Fire Survivors
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), approved Private
Property Debris Removal for properties burned by the Camp Fire. The
California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CaIOES) and other
partners established a debris removal program to safely remove
potentially hazardous ash and debris from affected private and approved
public properties and a hazard tree removal program to safely remove
hazard trees threatening public roads, rights-of-way, and eligible private
roads. Residents completed a Right -of -Entry Permit to enroll in these
programs, which included agreeing to file an insurance claim if insured
and assigned those insurance proceeds for debris or hazard tree removal
to the County to prevent a duplication of benefits as defined in defined
in the Code of Federal Regulations. In accordance with the approval for
Private Property Debris Removal, the County is required to make
reasonable efforts to collect insurance funds for those property owners
who participated in the debris or hazard tree removal programs. The
County may hire a contractor to provide these insurance collection
services. County Administration issued a Request for Proposals on
December 14, 2020 and two proposals were received. A review
committee selected Tetra Tech, Inc. of Maitland, Florida, as the most
qualified respondent. Tetra Tech, Inc. has conducted insurance recovery
services for several other California counties after the State operated
debris removal program. County Administration recommends entering
into a contract with Tetra Tech, Inc. for insurance recovery services. The
term of the contract is June 22, 2021 to June 30, 2024, not -to -exceed

5.14 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Sutter County Health and
Human Services Department for the Family Urgent Response System
FURS
FURS was established by Senate Bill 80 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal
Review. Human services omnibus) and requires counties to develop and
implement a Mobile Response System. Counties were required to
submit a single, coordinated plan to the California Department of Social
Services that describes how the county based mobile response system
would meet the requirements. Counties were given the option to
implement their plans on a per -county basis or collaboratively with other
counties to establish regional, cross county mobile response systems.
Butte County is implementing FURS using a regional approach with Yuba
and Sutter Counties, wherein Sutter County Health and Human Services
Department will function as the lead agency. The purpose of this
collaboration is to preserve the relationship of the caregiver and the
child by providing developmentally appropriate relationship conflict
management and resolution skills, stabilizing the living situation,
mitigating the distress of the caregiver or child, connecting the caregiver
and child to the existing array of local services, and promoting a healthy
and healing environment for children, youth, and families (this MOU is
going before both Butte County's and Sutter County's Boards for
approval on June 22, 2021). The Department of Employment and Social
Services recommends entering into a MOU with Sutter County Health

practice of partnering with families to provide intensive services to
children and families with complex needs using a team based approach.
The SB 163 Wraparound services program provides comprehensive,

5.18 Reimbursement for Emereencv Services Provided to EI Medio Fire
Protection Services
Butte County Fire Department and the EI Medio Fire Protection District
(District) have provided fire protection service in the south Oroville area
under an Automatic Aid Operational Letter of Understanding since
August of 2018. The agreement establishes automatic aid between the
two departments, which provides for prompt emergency intervention by
the closest resource regardless of jurisdiction. The agreement is also
based on balanced reciprocity of services. On December 25, 2021, the
District closed Fire Station 3 and ceased providing emergency services.
The District indicated to the Department, the City of Oroville, and Butte
LAFCo it intended to dissolve or contract with another agency to provide
services. Since the station closure, the District has not been able to meet
the provisions of the Operational Letter of Understanding. On May 26,
2021, the District informed the Fire Department it was no longer seeking
to dissolve and intended to re -open Fire Station 3 and was exploring
options to purchase a fire engine. During the period Fire Station 3 was
closed, the District continued to receive tax while relying on the
Department to provide emergency services. This has shifted the District's
financial responsibility of providing emergencies services to the County.
The Department recommends seeking reimbursement for emergency
services at a rate of $229 per emergency for services provided to the
District during the time frame Fire Station 3 remains closed, and in the
future if the District is unable to meet the reciprocity provision of the
automatic aid agreement. (Fire)

is vital with State's commitment to ongoing funding. California cannot
wait until the next public health crisis hits. Therefore, the coalition is

5.21 Report from the Drought Task Force
In 2004, Butte County adopted the Drought Preparedness and Mitigation
Plan (Resolution 04-200). A key element of the Plan was the creation of
the Drought Task Force (DTF). The charge of the DTF is to monitor
hydrologic conditions throughout the water year and report the findings
to the Water Commission and the Board of Supervisors biannually,
quarterly, or monthly as needed. Most of California including Butte
County is experiencing drought conditions. On April 21, 2021, Governor
Newsom declared a drought emergency for the Russian River Watershed
and Klamath Basin. On May 10, 2021, Governor Newsom expanded the
drought declaration to 41 counties including Butte County. The U.S.
Drought Monitor has classified most of California, including Butte County
as being in an exceptional drought condition. The DTF met on May 18,
2021 and received the report on hydrologic conditions, water supply
conditions and impacts. The DTF did not make any recommendations.
The DTF will meet again in mid-July. On June 2, 2021, the Water
Commission discussed the report from the DTF and provided staff with
issues to bring to the Board of Supervisors. The Water Commission
discussed the need to augment resources to support current year
drought analysis and mitigation. The Department estimates that the
drought efforts identified by the Water Commission could be met by a
one-time appropriation of $50,000 to conduct drought mitigation and
analysis. This has been added to the adjustments to the Recommended
Budget for consideration at Budget Hearings June 22, 2021 at 1:30pm.
Additionally, the Water Commission discussed actions that could be
pursued to address the potential for drought conditions continuing next
year. The actions included resources for agriculture to improve water
use efficiency. The Department will explore the availability of state funds
such as the Governor's $5.1 billion proposed Drought Resiliency Plan for
long-term drought mitigation. (Water)
