B. Board Member / Committee Reports and Board Member
Comments (Pursuant to California State law, the Board is
prohibited from taking action on any item not listed on the
agenda)
Chair Connelly: Attended the Citizens Advisory Committee
meeting a while ago and while they were exiting they
requested through Sutter Butte Flood Control Agency(SBFCA),
funding for lowering of the levy to the West of the river as it
flows out of town. Then recently he heard that the County was
awarded about 1.4 million through SBFCA, which is great news.
This will help with taking care of a search flood and providing
wild life habitat for salmonids.
Supervisor Ritter: Did not attend as much as she would have
liked to because she was recovering from COVID. Despite that,
she was still able to attend; the local Master Plan on Aging
meeting, Behavioral Health Executive meeting, and
Continuum of Care special meeting for FESG funding. For the
first time she unfortunately missed the Local
Government Committee meeting, which is a collaboration
between the County and the City of Chico. No other elected
officials in the County showed up except Supervisor Lucero.
flon Supervisor Kimmelshue: Casey Hatcher (Deputy Administrative
Officer) attended a meeting with volunteers from Durham and
Dayton Cemetery Districts. The County is in the process of
forming a new Cemetery District called the Durham -Dayton
Page 14 of 26
Cemetery District. Supervisor Kimmelshue requested head nods
to bring statistics and data on it its formation in front of the
Board. He received the support, so it will be coming forward at
a future Board meeting. Supervisor Kimmelshue also requested
Brad Stephens (County Counsel) reach back out to the
Mechoopda Tribe Counsel about the new casino construction
occurring at the corner of Highway 99 and 149. He mentioned
that he knows the County had been working on some possible
MOUs addressing road construction, road improvements, and
law enforcement. He requested that staff try to reach back out
to the tribe to keep the MOU moving forward. Lastly, he
provided an update on a privately owned piece of property
North of the City of Gridley. Since this property is hidden by the
cemetery, it has become a popular location for transients and
crime. The property is in bankruptcy, and owners have not paid
their County taxes in years. Supervisor Kimmelshue reached out
to the Sheriff about this, and the Sheriffs office took him on a
helicopter ride above it. The afternoon ended with a drive
through the property, where they chatted with the homeless
folks living there. The Sheriff and Supervisor Kimmelshue are in
the process of working with the landowner (which is a Trust
administered by an attorney) to address the bankruptcy.
Supervisor Kimmelshue also plans to reach out to Behavioral
Health, Employment and Social Services, County Counsel and
Environmental Health to assist in addressing the issues and
people out there. All in the hopes that access to social services,
and potential housing alternatives, might alleviate the problem.
Supervisor Teeter: Nothing to report at this time.
Supervisor Lucero: As mentioned before, she attended the
NACO meeting in July. Supervisor Lucero added that
even though she didn't win her reelection, she will still continue
to be an active member of NACO. Denise Winfrey (the incoming
president of NACO) appointed her to four committees: Vice
Chair of the Arts and Culture Commission, Chair of Resilience
Counties Advisory Board, Vice Chair of the Rural Action Caucus,
and the Vice Chair of the Environment Energy and Land Use
Steering Committee. She was very appreciative that they asked
her to serve on these committees still for 6 more months.
Lastly, she added that she became a Grandma again to a little
boy.

S.02 9:15AM - Timed Item - American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding
Proposals
On March 11, 2021, the $1.9 trillion ARPA was signed into law. Butte
County was allocated $42.5 million in Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal
Recovery Funds for State, local, territorial, and tribal governments. On
October 12, 2021, the Board of Supervisors committed $27.2 million in
ARPA funding for 24 projects. On March 8, 2022, the Board considered
24 additional projects for ARPA funding. The Board also considered a
request by the United States Forest Service (USFS) to reallocate the $1
million committed on October 12, 2021 to enhance the Feather Falls
Trail beyond pre -fire status because other funding was identified for the
original request, removal of hazard trees. The Board directed staff to
develop proposals for 23 of the projects and rescinded the committed
funding for the Feather Falls Trail Project with direction for staff to draft
a proposal for the new request from the USFS. On March 8, 2022, the
Board also directed staff to use the mechanism, revenue replacement,
when reporting the use of ARPA funds, which is allowed by the
Department of Treasury for most projects and reduces administrative
time to manage the ARPA allocation. Departments have collectively
developed 21 proposals for a total of $15 million in ARPA funding. A full
list of the proposals and the requested amount along with a detailed
description for each proposal is included with the agenda materials.
