Development of a Routine Maintenance Agreement (RMA) with California Department of Fish and
Wildlife (CDFW) - The County is responsible for approximately 1300 miles of roadway, which
includes culverts and roadside ditches. Due to environmental and cultural regulations, these
features are difficult to maintain and replace promptly. The Department of Public Works
recommends the development of an RMA with CDFW to streamline this process. The RMA
provides for vital maintenance projects to move forward with a proper environmental and
cultural review in a significantly shorter time frame. In consultation with Dokken Engineering, the
Department has developed the Initial Study and Environmental Review Checklist, which is the first
step in developing the RMA with CDFW. The Initial Study and Environmental Review Checklist has
been circulated for review to CDFW, local interested tribes, and the public, and all comments and
concerns have been addressed. As CDFW requires, the Department recommends the Board of
Supervisors adopt a resolution approving the Initial Study and Environmental Review Checklist.
Upon approval, the Department will work with CDFW to create the RMA, which will return to the
Board at a future date for approval — action requested — ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING THE
INITIAL STUDY AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW CHECKLIST AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

3.54 Budget Adjustment for the Sheriff's Office Comp Time Off (CTO) Balances - On May 23, 2023, the
Board of Supervisors approved $575,000 in one-time American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding
to pay down CTO balances in fiscal year 23/24 for staff in the Sheriff's Office to reduce the
County's liability accrued by staff during recent disasters and during the COVID-19 emergency.
The ARPA request included language that payments be made as soon as possible to reduce the
County's liability for outstanding comp time accruals that exist. Reducing the CTO to below the
cap in the current year will best address County liability and meet the need of the Department.
The Sheriff's Office recommends the Board of Supervisors approve a budget adjustment for
$575,000 — action requested — APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED). (Sheriff)
3.55 Contract with Hyas Group, LLC (Hyas) for 457 Deferred Compensation Financial Advisory Services
The Treasurer -Tax Collector's Department recently conducted a Request for Proposal and
received one response from the incumbent consultant, Hyas. The Department intends to renew
the contract with Hyas to provide various tasks assigned in the regular course of retirement plan
administration. Some of these tasks include assuring that the County's 457(b) Plan and 3121 Plans
are well-equipped with fiduciary best practices and plan governance oversight policies and
procedures. In addition, the consultant will monitor funds and work to ensure investments meet
the Investment Policy guidelines. The Department recommends entering into a contract with Hyas
for 457 Deferred Compensation Financial Advisory Services. The term of the contract is July 1,
2023 through June 30, 2028, not -to -exceed $185,000 — action requested - APPROVE CONTRACT
AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Treasurer -Tax Collector/Human Resources)
3.56 Contract Amendment with RT Lawrence Corporation for Remittance Processing Solution Support
In 2012, the Treasurer -Tax Collector's Office purchased the RT Lawrence Remittance Processing
System to interface with the County's Megabyte Property Tax System to electronically post and
scan upwards of 200,000 payments annually and generate electronic files to transmit directly to
the County's bank. Prior to utilizing the remittance processing system, the Department hand
keyed the payments and manually processed the checks for deposit. In 2013, the Board of
Supervisors approved a three-year agreement with RT Lawrence Corporation to provide software
support services. In 2016 the agreement was amended to extend the term and increase the
maximum amount payable based on a Consumer Price Index calculation. The contract was
amended a second time in 2019 to extend the term and increase the maximum amount payable.
The current contract for software support service is set to expire on June 30, 2023. A review of
the current contract revealed the need to update the insurance requirements to current County
standards. The insurance requirements have been incorporated into the amendment and Risk
Management has approved a request to reduce the crime policy requirement from $1,000,000 to
$500,000. The Department recommends amending the software support contract with RT
Lawrence Corporation to incorporate the new insurance requirements, extend the term by five
years through June 30, 2028, and increase the maximum payable amount by $40,082.41, not -to -
exceed $102,730.64. All other terms remain the same — action requested — APPROVE CONTRACT

4.04 Enforcement of the Butte County Medical Marijuana Ordinance (Chapter 34A) and the Butte
County Nonmedical Marijuana Ordinance (Chapter 34C) of the Butte County Code - The
Department of Development Services is charged with the civil land -use enforcement of Chapter
34A and Chapter 34C of the Butte County Code. During the Board of Supervisors meeting held on

modifying or expanding the program. The Department recommends that the code enforcement
program include the abatement of all illegal infrastructure through the nuisance abatement
process at the same time as the cannabis abatement. The abatement of the infrastructure would
include structures built without permits such as greenhouses and exploratory wells where there
is not a residence. Additionally, The Department recommends that the code enforcement
program extend to include proactive enforcement of violations of Chapters 34A and 34C within
residential areas that contain a high concentration of cannabis violations or when violations of
Chapters 34A and 34C are encountered within the following zones: Foothill Residential (up to 20
acres), Rural Residential (Up to 10 acres), Very Low Density Residential, Medium Density

4.06 Contract with Youth for Change for SB 163 Wraparound Services - Youth for Change specializes in
social services programs that support the healing of children and families by drawing upon
community resources with the goal of family reunification. Services involve families directly in

average of 30 youth per month. Youth for Change also provides family time supervising and
monitoring at family time centers located in Chico and Oroville. The service was recently
expanded to include familytime coaching, and Youth for Change has provided family time services

4.08 Community Service Area (CSA) Program Update - County Service Areas (CSAs) are special districts
established by county governments to provide specific services to residents in designated areas
within the county. CSAs are created to administer and finance services such as street lighting,
sewer systems, fire protection, road maintenance, and other local amenities. These areas are
typically geographically defined within a county and are governed by the Board of Supervisors.
Butte County has utilized CSAs for over 65 years to serve numerous communities. Funding for
CSAs was significantly impacted by Proposition 218, a ballot initiative passed by California voters
in 1996 to limit local government's ability to levy taxes, fees, and assessments. Proposition 218
gave property owners the right to vote on most local taxes and assessments, ensuring that tax or
fee increases would require approval from the affected property owners. However, Proposition
218 also impacted local governments by severely limiting their ability to generate revenue for
essential services and infrastructure improvements. Unfortunately, many CSAs in Butte County
have not had assessment increases since 1996. Over the decades, cost increases and deferred
maintenance have severely impacted the County's ability to provide essential services for these
CSAs. In some extreme instances, several CSAs cannot fund their annual administrative costs. The
Department will provide an update on the status of the CSA program for Board of Supervisors
consideration and discussion — action requested —ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION. (Public Works)

5. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS
5.01 9:30AM — Public Hearing - Public Hearing to Consider Increasing the Maximum Service Charge in
Countv Service Area (CSA) 82 Stirling Citv. Resolution Increasing Maximum Service Charge in CSA
82, and Resolution Authorizing Application for Sewer Construction Project - CSA 82 manages the
Stirling City sewer collection system which provides sanitary sewer services to 95 parcels. 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 (SWRCB) 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. In August 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved $128,938 in American Rescue Plan Act
funding 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. On April
25, 2023, the Board authorized a resolution of intent directing the commencement of procedures
to impose an increased maximum service charge for CSA 82 and set a public hearing for June 13,
2023, to consider such a charge. The Department of Public Health recommends the Board open
the public hearing to consider increasing the annual parcel charges for CSA 82; accept all timely
submitted protest bids; and, if a majority protest does not exist; adopt the resolution increasing
the maximum service charge in CSA 82. Additionally, in December 2016, the Board adopted
Resolution 16-176 authorizing an application for funding from the SWRCB and designating a
representative to execute the agreement and any amendments for the CSA 82 Stirling City Sewer
System Rehabilitation Planning and Design Project. The Department recommends the Board
adopt an updated resolution authorizing an application for funding from the SWRCB and
designating the Director of Public Works, or designee, to execute the agreement and any
amendments for the CSA 82 Stirling City Sewer System Rehabilitation Construction Project —
action requested - 1) OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING; 2) ADOPT RESOLUTION TO INCREASE FEES AND
CHARGES FOR SEWER SERVICES IN COUNTY SERVICE AREA (CSA) 82 AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR
TO SIGN; AND 3) ADOPT RESOLUTION TO PROCEED WITH SEWER CONSTRUCTION APPLICATION
FOR CSA 82 AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)

058-350-001, -002, -003 & 058-230-010). The festival is proposed to feature outdoor musical
performances and camping 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 — 1) FIND THE FESTIVAL TO BE CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT UNDER SECTION 15304(E) OF
THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT; AND 2) APPROVE THE APPLICATION FOR AN
OUTDOOR FESTIVAL LICENSE (MISC23-0012), SUBJECT TO THE RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS.
