Supervisor Comments on Consent Agenda items Page 2 of 23 3.01 Agreement with Aurora Behavioral Healthcare for Inpatient Hospitalization Services Aurora Behavioral Healthcare is a managed care hospital located in Santa Rosa that provides inpatient psychiatric hospitalization services. The State mandates that counties contract with managed care hospitals based on a county's historical utilization. The contract process includes steps that each county in which the hospital exists (host county) is required to complete to negotiate rates and fully execute a contract with the respective governing board. Once the State receives confirmation that the host county has completed this process, all other counties who contract with the hospital must utilize those rates per the direction of the State. Due to these requirements, agreements with managed care hospitals are typically approved later in the fiscal year. The Department of Behavioral Health recommends entering into an agreement with Aurora Behavioral Healthcare for inpatient psychiatric hospitalization services. The term of the Agreement is July, 1 2021 through June 30, 2023, not -to -exceed $700,000.

The BBSPII will assist small businesses with the impacts of temporary business closures, costs associated with adherence to State requirements for safe business operations, and financial impacts due to loss of revenue as a result of COVID-19. The BBSPII will provide grants of up to $10,000 to businesses with twenty or fewer full time equivalent employees, supporting approximately 150 small business grants. Eligible applications will be pooled by the six jurisdictions (Biggs, Chico, Gridley, Paradise, Oroville, and Unincorporated Butte County), and grant awardees will be selected by a lottery system for each jurisdiction. If there are not adequate applicants to fill the per -jurisdiction allocation for any single jurisdiction at the end of the three-week application period, then businesses will be chosen randomly from the remaining businesses within the lottery pool. In 2020, the County operated the Butte Business Stabilization Small Business Grant Program funded through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Page 3 of 23 Economic Security Act (CARES Act) to assist Butte County businesses with COVID-19 impacts. 3CORE was contracted by Butte County to administer that program. County Administration recommends the Board of Supervisors approve the contract with 3CORE to administer the BBSPII.

When completed, the Trail would be approximately 3.2S miles long and would connect Riverbend Park at the west end of Montgomery Street to the Feather River Nature Center at Montgomery Street and Old Ferry Road in Oroville. To accomplish this task, FRRPD must obtain easements from the property owners between the two points. The County is the owner in fee of five parcels along Montgomery Street and under the Upper Thermalito Bridge commonly known as Table Mountain Bridge, identified as Assessor's Parcel Numbers: 012- 041-004, 012-041-005, 012-041-006, 012-041-019 and 013-010-026 (Property). To provide the public with access to the Trail, FRRPD requests that the County execute a non-exclusive Grant of Easement across a portion of the Property. FRRPD retained a licensed surveyor to prepare the legal descriptions of the easement area. Once executed and accepted, the Grant of Easement will constitute a covenant that will run with the land for the benefit of FRRPD in perpetuity. In return, FRRPD will develop, maintain and repair the easement area.

Staff Report Resolution 22-023 3.09 Resolution and Cost Sharing Agreement Amendments with the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for State Highway Electrical Facilities The County has historically entered into cost-sharing agreements with Caltrans to reimburse the State for operational and maintenance expenditures attributable to County roadways that intersect State highways at Caltrans -operated intersections. In 2017, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution and entered into a cost-sharing agreement with Caltrans for State highway electrical facilities within the County, which is to remain in effect until amended or terminated. In 2018, the Board entered into an updated agreement and resolution to include updated terms and conditions and reflect the State's current contract language. In 2020, Caltrans requested an amendment to the cost-sharing agreement to add assets and update asset numbers at Ophir Road, Palermo Road, and Hollis Lane. This amendment was signed and executed by the Director of Public Works. Earlier this year, the Department of Public Works received a subsequent request to amend the cost-sharing agreement to reflect additional assets and updated asset numbers. To ensure appropriate authority of current and future amendments to the cost-sharing agreement, the Department recommends that Board ratify the 2020 cost-sharing agreement amendment, sign the 2022 cost-sharing agreement amendment, and adopt a resolution authorizing the Director of Public Works to execute future cost-sharing agreement amendments.

Hall and Associates for compaction testing, Page 8 of 23 concrete testing, steel rebar testing, R -value testing, asphalt cores, and various soils and asphalt materials testing. The Department has experienced an increase in the volume of paving projects that are scheduled for the Summer of 2022 and the beginning of 2023. The increase in projects has resulted in a need to add appropriations to the existing agreement.

(Public Works) Action requested - APPROVE CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN Staff Report 3.12 Resolution and Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 14, Article XI by adding Section 14-41.6 "Parking Prohibited on Paved Portions of Cherokee Road" Cherokee Road is a rural, remote, and narrow, two-lane county - maintained paved road with dirt shoulders. The area attracts a large amount of visitors each year for the scenic and recreational opportunities. Overflow parking results in vehicles that are densely parked on both sides of the paved road, which limits sight distance and affects pedestrian access. Specifically, vehicles parked in a manner that encroach upon the paved portion of the narrow roadway create hazardous conditions for bicycles, pedestrians, and vehicles. The parking congestion and pedestrian traffic further create a safety hazard by inhibiting the free access of emergency vehicles. In response, California Highway Patrol has requested the County place "No Parking On Pavement - Tow -Away Zone" signs on portions of the road to help reduce future hazards in this area. Under Vehicle Code sections 22504, 22507, and 22651 (n) a local authority may, by resolution or ordinance, prohibit or restrict the stopping, parking, or standing of vehicles on certain streets or highways or portions thereof. The Department of Public Works recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution implementing the parking prohibition on the paved portion of Cherokee Road, beginning 2.9 miles north of the intersection of Oregon Gulch Road, to a point ending 1.28 miles north of the point of beginning, at its intersection with Derrick Road, with future action to adopt an ordinance to codify the parking prohibition specific to the paved portion of the road into County Code 30 days from the date of adoption.

Staff Report Resolution 22-025 3.13 Resolution Authorizing the Director of Public Works to Act as Official Representative for the County in Executing Program Supplements for Master Agreement with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) On August 10, 2021, the Board of Supervisors executed a Master Agreement with Caltrans for certain designated transportation projects receiving State and federal aid. Caltrans requires the County to execute agreements that are supplemental to the Master Agreement (program supplements) for each project. In order for the Director of Public Works to execute program supplements, Caltrans requires a resolution authorizing the Director of Public Works as the official representative for the County. Adoption of the Resolution will ensure consistency with Master Agreements within the Department and allow program supplements to be executed with expediency. The Department of Public Works recommends the Board adopt the resolution authorizing the Director of Public Works to act as the official representative for the County in executing program supplements for the Master Agreement with Caltrans No. 03-5912S21 (Public Works) Action requested - ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. Staff Report Resolution 22-026 3.14 Contract Amendment with Butte Environmental Council (BEC) for Public Outreach and Education Services for Recycling and Solid Waste/Household Hazardous Waste Reduction The Department of Public Works receives grant funding from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to provide public education and outreach services to promote recycling and solid waste and household hazardous waste management. On February 26, 2019, the Board of Supervisors entered into a contract with BEC for public outreach and education services, with a term of March 12, 2019 through March 12, 2022, not -to -exceed $83,087. In March 2020, Page 10 of 23 the contract was amended to adjust the rate sheet, which did not affect the maximum payable amount. In 2021, public outreach faced delays due to COVID-19 related impacts such as school closures. In addition, the Department received subsequent grant funding from CalRecycle for public education and outreach services. The Department recommends amending the contract with BEC to fully meet the requirements of both rounds of grant funding. The amendment extends the contract term by 15 months through June 12, 2023, and increases the maximum payable amount by $27,339, not -to -exceed $110,426. All other terms remain the same. (Public Works) Action requested - APPROVE THE CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN Staff Report Supervisor Kimmelshue pulled item 3.14 to move to the regular agenda. 3.15 Contract Amendment with Axon Enterprise, Inc. for Body -Worn Cameras and Related Services loon In April, 2018, the Sheriffs Office contracted with Vievu, LLC (Vievu) for body -worn cameras and cloud based services for management and storage of video evidence. In October 2021, Axon Enterprise, Inc. (Axon) notified the Sheriff's Office it purchased Vievu and subsequently signed an amendment taking responsibility for the existing contract with the County. Due to the change in ownership, existing body -worn cameras and related software originally purchased from Vievu have reached end of life and will no longer be supported. Axon provided a quote for new body worn cameras and related accessories as well as a cloud based software solution for video evidence storage at a discounted rate based on pricing established in the existing contract. Procuring these items requires an extension to the term of the contract and increases the cost. The Department of General Services granted a 10 year standardization on the use of Axon for body -worn cameras and related services due to the volume of work that would otherwise be required to transition all sworn staff to new body -worn cameras and migrate all video evidence to a new platform as well as the cost savings provided by terms of the existing contract. The Sheriff's Office recommends amending the contract with Axon Enterprise, Inc. for body -worn cameras and related services. The amendment extends the contract expiration from April 23, 2023 to March 14, 2027 and increases the maximum payable amount by $863,876, not -to -exceed $1,244,435.
