agreement outlines statutory, cooperative, and compensated support services provided to LAFCo
by the County. Compensated services in which LAFCo pays the County for services provided

Human Resources. As outlined by the current services agreement, staff served LAFCo with a 180-
day notice to amend the agreement on January 11, 2022 to update costs and eliminate the payroll

3.03 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Butte County Law Library (BCLL) for Small Claims
Advisory Services - The County and BCLL have a longstanding MOU that governs the provision of
small claims administration within the County. California Code of Civil Procedure Sections
116.260 and 116.940 require the County to provide small claims advisory services to small claims
litigants without charge. The County satisfies its statutory obligations through the use of a
recorded telephonic message that provides general information regarding small claims, as well as
informational booklets. The message also advises litigants of the resources available at the BCLL.
The County entered into an MOU with BCLL to compensate for the increased use of its facility and
services which expired on June 30, 2023. County Administration recommends approval of an MOU
with BCLL to maintain the existing arrangement with BCLL for small claims advisory services. The
term of the contract is upon execution through June 30, 2026, not-to-exceed $15,000 ($5,000 per
year) - action requested – APPROVE MOU AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County

3.04 Letter of Support for Town of Paradise's Chico to Paradise Skyway Bikeway Project Application - In
June of 2011, the Butte County Board of Supervisors adopted the Countywide Bikeway Master
Plan (Master Plan). The Master Plan, prepared by Butte County Public Works, sets forth a vision
for making bicycling an integral part of the transportation system within the County's
unincorporated limits. The Master Plan includes emphasis on regional connectivity between the
local cities of Biggs, Chico, Gridley, Oroville, and the Town of Paradise. The Town of Paradise is
proposing a Chico to Paradise Skyway Bikeway Project (Project) which builds off of the County's
existing Class 1 Bike Path shown in the Master Plan, and is consistent with the planned facilities
shown in the Master Plan specific to Skyway from Honey Run Road to Paradise Town limits.
Additionally, bike access is a critical element of the Town's 2022 Transportation Master Plan,
which identified multimodal transportation network improvements to enhance walking, biking,
daily circulation, and evacuation needs. On September 14, 2023, a letter supporting an application
to the Reconnecting Communities: Highways to Boulevards Grant Program for the Project was
signed by the CAO in advance of the application deadline. Staff recommends the Board ratify the
letter – action requested – RATIFY LETTER OF SUPPORT. (County Administration)
3.05 Indigent Defense Contracts - 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. The County contracts with 18
full-time attorneys and one half-time attorney in the consortium. The County contract with
Ronald Reed, who served as a full-time attorney, ends October 31, 2023. The consortium selected
Janae Sorenson to fill the role held by Mr. Reed and selected Robert Towne to serve as a full-time
attorney to fill the role held by Ms. Sorenson. Mr. Towne currently serves as a part-time attorney.
The consortium selected Camille Pendery to serve as a part-time attorney in the role previously
held by Mr. Towne. County Administration recommends amending the contract with Mr. Towne
to a full-time attorney starting November 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024; not-to-exceed $154,323,
Page 3
to the new rate of $13,345 per month, and entering into a contract with Ms. Pendery to serve as a

3.06 Fiscal Year 2023-24 Consolidated Budget Adjustments - Each fall, County Administration
coordinates a consolidated budget adjustment for multiple departments containing routine
budget adjustments that are needed in transitioning to the new fiscal year (FY). Staff have
updated revenue estimates, as well as more precise cost estimates for projects, vehicles, and
other purchases spanning fiscal years that need to be rebudgeted in FY 2023-24, and have
identified a number of recommended budget clean-up actions. The adjustments are a net total
$7,179,677 in additional appropriations, including transfers between funds, and an increase of
$340,301 in General Fund Appropriation for Contingencies. Which has a current balance of
$7,110,126, and will have an updated balance of $7,450,427 when these adjustments are made.
The remaining adjustments are offset by the use of fund balances or increased revenue. All
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) rebudgets are for previous Board approved programs – action

employees who are required to file under Butte County's code. The County Counsel's Office
recommends the Board adopt a resolution reflecting these changes – action requested – ADOPT

3.10 Community Planning Month Resolution - The American Planning Association endorses National
Community Planning Month as an opportunity to highlight how planning is essential to recovery

Central Valley California HIDTA region (CVC HIDTA). HIDTA is a federally funded program whose
purpose is to disrupt and dismantle drug trafficking operations (DTOs) that threaten public health
and safety. ONDCP provides HIDTA funding to CVC HIDTA, which in turn provides funding to
participating agencies within the region based on law enforcement case load statistics. Due to the

action on any item not listed on the agenda. Please note that Public Comment is in two separate
sections. One, as the first regular item on the agenda, which will last a maximum of 15 minutes,
with another to follow as the last item on the regular agenda with no time limits.
4.03 Budget adjustment from General Fund Contingencies for North Valley Animal Disaster Group
(NVADG) - The County partners with various groups for services during a disaster. These
partnerships are governed by MOU's which are required by FEMA for reimbursement and provide
clarity about decision making and authority to ensure effective EOC operations. NVADG provides
skilled and valuable animal sheltering, transportation and feeding during disasters and has an
MOU which governs the relationship. Unfortunately, during the Camp Fire NVADG operated
outside of this agreement and incurred costs outside of the MOU and in conflict with federal
policy. Specifically, the MOU requires NVADG to make resource requests through the County and
in accordance with purchasing policy. Due to this lapse by NVADG, the County’s claim to FEMA did
not include NVADG’s costs. Had NVADG used the process outlined in the MOU the costs would
have been borne by the County and submitted to FEMA for reimbursement. FEMA Policy within
the Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide states, “The applicant must include required
provisions in all contracts awarded and maintain oversight to ensure contractors perform
according to conditions and specifications of the contract and any purchase orders.” Expenses
outside of the MOU and in conflict with purchasing policy can't meet this requirement. NVDAG
has requested to be reimbursed for $199,046 in costs incurred. Since these are costs that were
incurred outside of the MOU, FEMA would have denied them. The only way for NVADG to be
reimbursed is for the County to use General Fund Appropriation for Contingency. Staff
recommendations take into consideration that NVADG is a financially healthy organization who
was supported by generous donations during and after the Camp Fire and that the County's
General Fund resources are scarce, to the point that staff had to recommend closing fire stations
and reducing library services to balance the budget. With this in mind, staff do not recommend

4.04 Job Order, Plans, and Notice to Proceed with Mesa Energy Systems Inc. dba Emcor Services Mesa
Energy (Emcor) for HVAC Replacement - The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
system serving the Sheriff's Office at 3 Gillick Way is comprised of a centralized boiler and cooling
tower, twelve heat pumps and four residential split systems, all of which are past their serviceable
life, are partially or entirely failed, do not meet modern requirements for air filtration, and utilize
coolant that is no longer available in California. Additionally, the cobbling of these various systems
over the years does not reflect the current configuration and use of the facility, making it inefficient
and ineffective. The proposed replacement includes a high efficiency variable refrigerant flow
system and extensive ducting replacement throughout the facility. Redesign of the HVAC system
and replacement of the components is included in the County-wide HVAC Replacement project
funded by the American Rescue Plan Act. On January 10, 2023, the Board of Supervisors approved a

4.05 Introduction of an Ordinance Regarding Partnership HealthPlan of California Commission (PHC)
On September 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 4207 authorizing Butte
County to join the PHC to negotiate an exclusive contract with California Department of Health
Care Services (DHCS) to provide Medi-Cal managed health care services in Butte County. The PHC
successfully negotiated an exclusive contract with DHCS authorizing the expansion into Butte
County. On September 1, 2023, DHCS announced PHC has met the criteria for operational
readiness and the 2024 Medi-Cal contract requirements. The Departments of Public Health,
Behavioral Health and Employment and Social Services recommend the Board repeal Ordinance
No. 4207 and replace it with a new Ordinance. The new ordinance authorizes the County to join the
existing PHC and implement a county organized health system (COHS) in order to provide the
delivery of publicly assisted medical care for Medi-Cal recipients in the county. Under the
ordinance, the Board is required to appoint three commissioners. Upon adoption of the
ordinance, the Departments and the Chief Administrative Officer will provide a recommendation
of commissioners to the Board for consideration - action requested – WAIVE THE FIRST READING
OF THE ORDINANCE. (Public Health, Behavioral Health, and Employment and Social Services)

Lien and Impose a Special Assessment - On September 14, 2022 a Hearing Officer declared a public

Supervisors for a lien and special assessment on September 12, 2023. During this hearing, the
Board of Supervisors granted the property owner a 30-day window to negotiate a settlement with
Development Services. Subsequent to the lien hearing, the Director of Development Services
extended an offer to the property owner, proposing a reduced down payment as part of the
settlement. The owner indicated that he has been unable to obtain the necessary funds to
commence the settlement process. This hearing has been scheduled to authorize the Board of
Supervisors to record a lien to recover the County's costs for Code Enforcement Case Number
CE22-01185 at 0 Cochise Drive, Feather Falls (Assessor's Parcel Number 071-280-038) in the

5.02 10:00 AM – Timed Item - Amendments to Butte County Zoning Ordinance Chapter 24, Article IV,
Division 1, Special Events Facilities - A County-initiated Zoning Code Amendment (ZCA23-0001) to
create a distinction between “small” and “large” special event facilities, instituting a separate
entitlement process for each and implementing new standards for the development of special
event facilities within the County's Agriculture Zones. Agriculture-specific amendments include an
increased 50 foot setback standard for all event facilities, a prohibition on building code
occupancy changes for agricultural buildings finaled within 5 years of the date of application, a 2-
year moratorium on special event facility entitlement for operating venues without a permit, and
the allowance for the conversion of existing structures to special event facilities under certain
circumstances. There is an additional recommended amendment restricting signage placement to
within the County Right of Way with an encroachment permit entitlement. The zoning code
amendment is exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15061(b)(3), which exempts activities covered by the rule that CEQA applies only to projects with
the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. On May 25, 2023, the Planning
Commission passed Resolution PC23-10 on a vote of 5-0 finding the proposed Zoning Code
Amendment exempt under section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act and
recommending adoption of Zoning Code Amendment ZCA23-0001 – action requested - 1) FIND

Farm Bureau - Proposal to construct and operate a 5,000 square foot private meeting hall and
offices on a 1.64-acre portion of a 4.92-acre parcel. The proposal requires four entitlements,

0001) to operate a Private Meeting Hall in the AS zone; and, a Tentative Parcel Map (TPM23-0002)
to subdivide the 4.92 acres into four parcels, with the proposed development to occur on
resultant Parcel 1, and the other three AS-zoned parcels to remain undeveloped. The project site is
located at 9412 Jones Avenue, on the northeast corner of Jones Avenue and Durham-Dayton
Highway, 1,500 feet east of Midway, in the unincorporated community of Durham (Assessor
Parcel Number: 040-180-041). An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration were prepared
for the Project in accordance with CEQA. The Mitigated Negative Declaration supports that the
Project will not cause a significant adverse effect on the environment because recommended
Page 11
mitigation measures will address potentially significant impacts identified during the review. The
Planning Commission considered this item at a public hearing held on September 28, 2023 and
recommended adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approval of the General Plan

5.04 11:00 AM – Timed Item - Resolutions Amending the Master Fee Schedule to Remove, Add, Modify,
and Increase Fee Rates for Services Provided by County Departments - The Master Fee Schedule is
comprised of fees for services provided by the County that benefit individuals. On June 13, 2017, the
Board of Supervisors adopted changes to the Master Fee Schedule based on a comprehensive user
fee study. At that time, the Board recommended that user fees be amended annually to accurately
reflect actual costs by applying the change in the Employment Cost Index (ECI), pursuant to County
Code section 3-331. The annual ECI recommendation is brought before the Board of Supervisors in
the fall, and the fees become effective at the beginning of the calendar year. The most recent ECI
increase occurred at the October 25, 2022, Board of Supervisors meeting. Since then, the ECI has
increased 4.91% from the second quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of 2023. The departments
of County Administration, Agricultural Commissioner, Clerk- Recorder’s Office, Development
Services, Fire, Information Systems, Library, Public Health, Public Works, Sheriff’s Office, and
Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office recommend that the 4.91% ECI increase be applied to eligible user
fees. In addition to the ECI increase, the departments of Agricultural Commissioner, Clerk-
Recorder's Office, Development Services, Public Health, and Sheriff's Office recommend removing
fees that are no longer applicable and modifying fee names to provide clarity. The Department of
Public Health also recommends adding one (1) laboratory testing fee to the Master Fee Schedule.
Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors adopt two (2) resolutions amending the Master Fee
Schedule for land use and non-land use fees, to become effective on January 1, 2024 – action
requested - 1) ADOPT RESOLUTION AMENDING LAND USE FEES IN THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE;
AND 2) ADOPT RESOLUTION AMENDING NON-LAND USE FEES IN THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE.

Meeting Information:
Meetings are generally held the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Meetings start at 9:00 a.m. and are held in the
Board of Supervisors Chambers, County Administration Building, 25 County Center Drive, Oroville. At the end of each year the
Board adopts a meeting schedule for the upcoming year. Meeting dates can be changed as a result of holidays or other events
so please check the meeting calendar to be certain. Copies of the adopted meeting calendar for the year are available in the
County Administrative Office or on the Clerk of the Board website page.
Agenda Information:
The agenda for every meeting of the Board is posted in front of the County Administration Building at least 72 hours before
each meeting, and is available by mail subscription, e-mail subscription, or at the Clerk of the Board website. A copy of the
agenda and supporting materials provided to the Board of Supervisors members to explain each agenda item (excluding
documents that are not a public record within the meaning of the Public Records Act) are available for your review at the County
Administrative Office, the Chico, Oroville, and Paradise libraries (please do not remove items from these files), and at the Clerk
of the Board website. Copies of supporting materials can be made for you at a charge to cover costs. The list of communications
included with the agenda packages is not comprehensive. Additional communications to the Board of Supervisors may have
been received but not included in the agenda supporting material. Copies of all communications received by the Board of
Supervisors (excluding documents that are not a public record within the meaning of the Public Records Act) are available at
the County Administrative Office upon request.
Agenda Format and Meeting Order:
The agenda is usually organized into the following areas and meetings generally proceed in the following order:
1. Consent Agenda: These items are considered routine and are handled by one motion and vote of the Board. If you wish to
discuss any item on the Consent Agenda you can either fill out a speaker card (located in the back of the board room) and give
it to the Clerk of the Board (sitting to the right of the Board) or, when the Chair asks if there is anything anyone would like to
remove from the Consent Agenda, stand and approach the podium and request the item be removed. The removed items are
discussed at the end of the Regular Agenda.
2. Public Comment: This is the area of the agenda where members of the audience may address the Board on any matter not
listed on the agenda. The Board, by law, cannot take action on any matter not listed on the agenda, but may respond to
statements or questions and provide staff direction. Public Comment is limited to 3 minutes, and may be adjusted at the
discretion of the Chair.
3. Regular Agenda: This is where presentations to the Board and items that require full discussion are heard. Items removed
from the Consent Agenda are discussed under this section.
4. Public Hearing and Timed Items: This is where items that are required by law to be heard as a public hearing are set. This is
the section where appeals before the Board are usually discussed. Hearings may start after the time listed, but will never start
before the time listed.
5. Closed Session: The Board is authorized, by law, to meet in a closed session in certain circumstances. This area of the agenda
identifies those items that will be discussed during the Closed Session.
Public Participation:
It is the policy of the Board of Supervisors, and a requirement of the California Open Meetings Law, to allow members of the
public the opportunity to comment on all matters before the Board. Public participation is limited to matters within the
subject matter jurisdiction of the Board pursuant to Government Code Section 54954.3. The Board of Supervisors is also
committed to making its proceedings accessible to all residents. Individuals with special needs should call the Clerk of the
Board at 530.552.3300, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to request disability-related
modifications/accommodations, or to request materials in alternate formats. All requests for special accommodations
and/or alternative format documents must be made 48 hours prior to the meeting.
Disclosure of Campaign Contributions
Pursuant to Government Code section 84308, members of the Board of Supervisors are disqualified and not able to participate
in any agenda item involving contracts (other than competitively bid, labor, or personal employment contracts), franchises,
discretionary land use permits and other entitlements if the Board member received more than $250 in campaign contributions
from the applicant or contractor, an agent of the applicant or contractor, or any financially interested participant who actively
supports or opposes the County’s decision on the agenda item since January 1, 2023. Members of the Board of Supervisors who
have received, and applicants, contractors or their agents who have made, campaign contributions totaling more than $250 to
a Board member since January 1, 2023, are required to disclose that fact for the official record of the subject proceeding.

hearing.
