The County is required by State and federal law to provide an attorney
for persons charged with a crime or in other special circumstances if they
cannot afford an attorney. Butte County contracts this service with a
consortium of local attorneys who provide full service public defender
work. The consortium has been an effective component of the criminal
justice system, and has the support of the Superior Court Bench, District
Attorney, Chief Probation Officer, and Sheriff. The consortium has also
been a cost effective model for the county, providing a high level of
service for substantially less than similar counties pay. One of the
services the County contracts to provide is for indigent individuals who
are charged with contempt of court in family law court, which is one of
the non -criminal special circumstances. The County entered into a

3.09 Budget Adjustment and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for
Broadband Planning and Coordination Between the City of Chico and
County of Butte
On October 12, 2021, the Board of Supervisors committed $1,000,000 in
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for broadband infrastructure
investment. COVID-19 has highlighted that high-speed, wide-ranging
broadband availability in rural California is often a critical missing
Page 7 of 46
component of infrastructure, which presents a barrier for residents and
businesses in unserved and underserved communities from participating
in the 21st Century economy, telehealth and distance learning. High-
speed broadband provides essential benefits by allowing increased
economic and trade opportunities for small to medium-sized businesses
and serves as a required component of infrastructure for large
businesses. Butte County is pursuing a variety of strategies to plan and
expand Broadband services countywide. Butte County has partnered
with the Rural County Representatives of California to create a
Broadband Playbook to develop foundational readiness for broadband
investment and deployment in the County. Butte County has also joined
the Golden State Connect Authority for capacity building and
demonstration projects such as open -access municipal broadband
projects. By entering into this MOU for Broadband Planning and
Coordination, the County will work with the City of Chico and their
contractor, Biarri, to develop feasibility -level network engineering plans
for the addresses in Butte County that are outside the City of Chico's
jurisdiction at a cost of $67,800 paid through ARPA. These plans will
include a bill of materials (BOM) and will take advantage of regional
assets. Using this BOM and plans, bids for construction can be sought to
obtain a full cost to construct. County Administration recommends the
Board of Supervisors approve the MOU with the City of Chico for
Broadband Planning and Coordination. (County Administration)

3.11 Letter of Support for Butte County Participation in Community
Economic Resilience Funding (CERF) and Support for the North State
Planning and Development Collective (NSPDC) to be the Regional
Conveyor and Fiscal Agent
The 2022 California State Budget includes the Community Economic
Resilience Funding (CERF), an allocation of $5 million per state region.
The regions are defined in a way that promotes geographic equity and is
consistent with existing economic development efforts as well as other
State definitions of regional economic and labor markets. The
Governor's Office of Planning and Research, the California Labor
Workforce Development Agency, and the Governor's Office of Business
and Economic Development will facilitate the development of the CERF.
CERF's planning phase will establish regional, inclusive planning tables to
develop blueprints and align resources for each region's economic
future. These planning tables will result in recommended investments
throughout the region that will support economic recovery from COVID-
19, bolster equity outcomes, and facilitate the transition to carbon
neutrality. The footprint for the North State CERF region, a ten county
region which includes Butte County, aligns closely with CSU, Chico's
(CSUC) service territory. The North State Planning and Development
Collective (NSPDC) at Chico State Enterprises is pursuing the role as the
convener and fiscal agent for the CERF planning process and funds for
the ten counties which include Butte, Glenn, Tehama, Plumas, Lassen,
Shasta, Trinity, Modoc, Siskiyou, and Sierra. NSPDC's goal as convener is
to honor established planning efforts, to identify efforts to build upon, to
replicate successful models and best practices in parts of the region that
are lacking, to engage with our farthest -located counties, and to include
those that have not traditionally been involved in planning processes of
the past. NSPDC acknowledges the importance of jurisdictions playing a
role in this process, as they are the local teams who implement
Page 9 of 46
economic development projects. County Administration recommends
ro" the Board of Supervisors approve the Support Letter indicating Butte
County's participation in the CERF process with CSUC, and support for
the NSPDC to be the regional convener and fiscal agent. (County
Administration)

3.20 Contract with Frontier Consulting Engineers, Inc. for Engineering
Services on the Countywide HVAC Replacement Project
The Department of General Services operates, repairs and maintains
over 250 moderately sized commercial Heating, Ventilation and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) units and over 35 large HVAC installations that
utilize complex combinations of chillers, boilers and air handling units.
These units span over 135 facilities throughout the County connected to
an Energy Management System (EMS), which optimizes equipment
performance, and allows for remote monitoring and control. A large
portion of the HVAC units are not able to provide outside airflow or
filtration that can be offered in contemporary HVAC equipment, and the
current EMS cannot provide adequate climate/fresh airflow controls. At
the October 12, 2021 Board of Supervisors Meeting, the Board approved
$5,740,000 of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to be used over
multiple years to replace failing HVAC equipment and the EMS. The first
phase includes retaining an engineering firm who will evaluate and
prepare plans for the facilities that have been identified to be best
served by redesigning all or part of their HVAC systems, as opposed to
completing direct equipment replacement under the existing design, to
ensure new HVAC equipment matches and serves the interior space
configuration as it has changed over time, and/or so more efficient types
of HVAC equipment can be installed. The Department considered a
number of potential service providers and determined Frontier
Consulting Engineers, Inc. is best suited to meet the needs of the County.
Formal solicitation is not required for professional services. The
Department of General Services recommends that the Board of
Supervisors approve a contract with Frontier Consulting Engineers, Inc.
for engineering services on the county -wide HVAC Replacement Project
with term of the contract being 365 days from date of execution. A

Comments (Pursuant to California State law, the Board is

Supervisor Lucero: Attended NACO in Denver, where California
just got a second Vice President. Which means in two years
California will be the President of NACO. This is a big deal
because they lobby on behalf of Federal concerns and
California's interests are big, and we usually get out -voted. Also
attended many sessions as part of the Economic Mobility
Leadership Network. Including a very interesting one that
talked about formative projects, using the Denver area as an
example of what is happening since that area is just
"exploding." Additionally it discussed how to improve the
Economic Mobility for County residents. In 1940 90% of children
grew up to earn more than their parents, where as today only
50% of children do. The statistics are even worse for persons of
color. As Chair of the Resilient Counties Advisory Board, they
had a workshop on crisis response and supporting counties
during local disasters. Supervisor Teeter even spoke during one
of the workshops. There was lots of examples of disaster relief
and resilient counties - from East Coast Counties that respond
to hurricanes, tornadoes and flooding, and of course in the
West where its wildfire and drought issues. Supervisor Teeter
spoke at the workshop about building wildfire resistant
communities. There was also a talk about the "Not Impossible
do What Can't be Done" book. Author of the book lives in
Page 24 of 46
Venice, California and spoke about 'thinking outside the box' rxq�
and assembling teams for disaster response. Supervisor Lucero
encourages everyone to read the book. Conference also talked
a lot about ARPA funding and infrastructure projects. Including
an interesting session on road building, that talked about
carbon capture and road resurfacing; Supervisor Lucero passed
the information on Joshua Pack, Director of Public Works.
Supervisor Teeter: Also attended NACO, and thanks Supervisor
Lucero for setting him up to speak at the Crisis Response
Workshop. He was told that the workshop was going to be
planning related, so he prepared a list of what worked and
what did not work in our State, Towns and County. He had
planned to touch on Special Districts too, however, he was cut a
little short because he was last to speak. Despite it being a
'broken -record' topic, it was received well. Colorado had a
Supervisor and a Planner on the Panel, and all the things they
brought up - we are also doing here in our County, so there
wasn't major differences. They did bring up that hopefully
Biochar would be a solution, however our County has looked
into it extensively and we haven't found it to be the do -all fix as
far as what to do with biomass. Unfortunately, the Crisis
Response Workshop was at the same time as the Space Port
Tour. Which he wanted to attend, but heard about it later from
others that went. Also was a guest of RCRC and made lots of
connections. Other talks attended included: Environmental
Committee, Public Lands, and Parks.
Chair Connelly: Was in contact with people that are lobbying for
local Forest Management. NACO also recently asked Congress
to act more appropriately when it comes to our national forest,
and managing it. Stated he has many concerns about this
drought, after talking to several constituents experiencing dry
well issues. People are not very aware of the maintenance
needed on wells; pumps need to be dropped down a little
deeper occasionally. Also, helped assist with the usual public
needs and requests for help. Mostly in relation to road
maintenance issues, which the Director of Public Works assisted
with. Went to Marry Mountain Home Owners Association in
Clipper Mills. The Sheriff sent one of his Lieutenants to speak,
and he gave a great presentation. The Association is getting
ready to have a non-profit take over the fire station, which is
great news. However, it brought up a point that since the
redistricting, one of the Supervisors does not represent a rural �*►
area anymore, and he does. Therefore, he would like to be
reappointed to Butte County Fire Safe Counsel instead. At least
Page 25 of 46
by this Board at an upcoming meeting, then the Counsel can
�' vote to accept him or not. He was given two head nods to bring
this request back at a future Board of Supervisors meeting.
Supervisor Kimmelshue: Started by expressing gratitude for the
quick help from various Department Heads and Staff on District
4 matters. Specifically, Paula Daneluk, (Director of
Development Services), for help defusing a situation with a
disgruntled constituent. Sheriff Honea for helping with some
issues in Gridley and Chico, and Joshua Pack, (Director of Public
Works) for helping with several road issues. Andy Pickett, (Chief
Administration Officer) and Casey Hatcher, (Deputy
Administration Officer) for helping to create a new cemetery
district (Durham -Dayton Cemetery District). Lastly, at the Chico
Rotary Club meeting they listened to a great presentation from
the Jesus Center about the success so far at the pallet shelter.
Supervisor Ritter: Thanked Supervisor Lucero for addressing the
crowd at the Everheart Village ground breaking in her absence.
Had the usual agenda reviews for Air Quality, and Behavioral
Health Executive Committee. Met with the grants staff in
Community and Economic Development (Katie Simmons and
Sherisse Allen) where they discussed CDBG funding, and making
sure all grant funding is being used. There was a meeting about
a regional proposed Behavioral Health facility in Shasta County
that she thanked staff for attending. Mentioned that she has
spent time since the last meeting looking at appointees for
Boards and Commissions. With the changes of the district lines,
it is certainly going to affect some of our current seat holders.
Lastly, Supervisor Ritter requested a regular report from the
City of Chico on their lawsuit with the Federal Government.
Noting that one of the stipulations of the County giving the City
money for the shelter, was that they meet several
requirements. Therefore, she would like updates on how those
requirements are being met. She received two nods from the
Board for staff to move forward with this request.

4.05 Resolution Approving an Updated Allocation of Funding for the
Community Development Block Grant -Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR)
Multifamily Housing Program (MHP) for the 2018 Disasters
The California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) made $250,687,114 in allocations available in 2019 CDBG-DR
funding to support the MHP of which $152,610,073 was allocated to
jurisdictions within Butte County. The County's original allocation was
$61,361,926, and the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 21-015
on January 26, 2021 accepting the allocation. The MHP projects are
funded to meet the unmet rental housing need, including the needs of
individuals displaced from rental mobile homes and individuals made
homeless as a result the 2018 Camp Fire. The County issued a Request
for Proposals on August 5, 2021 and received 10 proposals requesting a
total of $93,955.347. Three of the proposals were also submitted to the
City of Chico for funding from its MHP allocation. The County reviewed
proposals and recommended funding for seven projects and partial
funding for one project, which is also partially funded by the City of
Chico. The other two projects are entirely funded by the City of Chico.
The County issued a second Request for Proposals on January 20, 2022
to award the remainder of its MHP allocation and received two
Page 28 of 46
proposals totaling $26,709,082. The County submitted both proposals to M"I
HCD for considerations and requested additional funding as outlined in
the State Action Plan. On July 8, 2022, HCD allocated an additional
$9,823,547 to Butte County to fund one of the additional projects, which
makes the County's total allocation $71,185,473. The HCD requires the
Board adopt a resolution approving an updated allocation amount.
County Administration recommends the Board adopt a resolution
rescinding Resolution No. 21-015 replacing it with the proposed
resolution approving an allocation of funding and execution of a grant
agreement and any amendments for the CDBG-DR MHP for the 2018

4.09 Resolution Authorizing Temporary Law Enforcement Referral Bonus
Program
Law Enforcement/Public Safety staff recruitment and subsequent
retention have presented an ongoing challenge for Butte County for
several years despite recent salary increases and traditional efforts to
find and keep entry-level staff. Additionally, the lack of adequate
Page 31 of 46
staffing associated with recruitment difficulties and turnover continues
Monstaffing
add to the burden on current employees . In response to law
enforcement recruitment challenges in general, several local public
agencies have implemented their own innovative programs to help not
only attract quality staff into entry-level positions but to also reward
current employees who act as unofficial recruiters by authorizing referral
bonus payments for successful referrals into vacant positions. By
authorizing a similar program here in Butte County, there is an
opportunity to leverage informal word-of-mouth recruiting by providing
an incentive for current employees to encourage friends, family
members, acquaintances and outside agency colleagues to apply for
Butte County law enforcement positions, thereby contributing to the
wealth of talent the County employs and mitigating the ongoing
recruitment challenges. Payment of $1,500 total per successful referral
(contingent on actual hiring and successful completion of a probationary
period) will present a minimal fiscal impact while potentially paying long-
term dividends within the Sheriff's Office and Probation Department.
The Department recommends authorization for the temporary referral
bonus program, subject to implementation and management by the
Human Resources Director. It is estimated that this temporary program
will be in place for two years. (Human Resources)

women who are pregnant or postpartum, infants, and children up to age
Page 32 of 46
5 who are at nutritional risk. WIC provides healthy foods to supplement
the dietary needs of participants to ensure good health and
development. WIC is budgeted to carry an average monthly caseload of
5,090 clients. Butte County has 18 food vendors authorized throughout
the State to participate in the WIC program. Additionally, WIC
participates in the annual Farmers' Market Nutrition Program to
distribute vouchers totaling over $19,600 to support Butte County's local
farmers and provide participants with an opportunity to purchase local
fresh fruits and vegetables. Butte County has five authorized farmers'
markets and 21 authorized farmers that participate in the program.
Funding from the grant is utilized to pay costs associated with providing
the WIC program, such as staff time, facility costs, and educational and
outreach materials. Additional program information is included in the
staff report. The Department recommends entering into a grant
agreement with CDPH to provide services through the WIC Program.
The term of the grant agreement is October 1, 2022 through September

4.11 Drought Impact Analysis Study Recommendations
On December 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved a contract
with Luhdorff and Scalmanini Consulting Engineers (LSCE) to conduct a
2021 Drought Impact Analysis Study (Drought Study). The purpose of the
study was to evaluate and understand the impacts of drought conditions
in 2021. It was anticipated that based on the study's findings, the
Drought Task Force (DTF) and the Water Commission (WC) would then
identify recommendations for the Board of Supervisors to consider in
response to the continued drought emergency in 2022 and to plan for
future drought resiliency. A presentation of the content from the draft
Drought Study was given to the Board on April 26, 2022. Edits and
additions were made per the Board's input. The final Drought Study was
released in May with a public webinar conducted on June 1, 2022, and is
available online
Page 33 of 46
http://www.buttecounty.net/waterresourceconservation/Special-
Projects/Drought-Impact-Analysis-Study-Released-May-2022. An
overview of the study was provided to the DTF on June 7, 2022 and the
WC on June 8, 2022 for information and discussion. Direction was given
to staff to take the next steps identified in the Drought Study and
compile the comments received by the DTF, WC and public and prepare
potential recommendations for further consideration. Five
recommendations were developed and presented to the DTF on June 30,
2022 and WC on July 6, 2022. The DTF did not have a majority of its
members present, however no objections were made to the potential
recommendations staff presented. The WC discussed the potential
recommendations, made revisions, and unanimously voted to make the
following five recommendations to the Board: 1) update the Drought
Plan, 2) identify screening tools to assess drought and water shortage
vulnerability for small water systems and self -supplied systems; 3)
develop a risk assessment process and drought response metrics that
establish risk thresholds that trigger actions to be taken in drought
events; 4) pursue outside grant funding opportunities to update key
drought policy and management objectives and update the Drought
Plan; and 5) define the data and metrics to track and report on drought
conditions. (Water and Resource Conservation)
