Staff Report
3.03 Letter to CalOES Director Ghilarducci Requesting Support for Changes
with how Counties are Reimbursed by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) for Damaged Roads after Disasters
The Camp and North Complex Fires created an estimated $153,460,041
,--, in damages to County maintained roads. The County has completed less
than 5% of the repairs needed. FEMA denied over $54 million in
requested road repairs, stating repairs should be the responsibility of
State Contractors. The cost to repair these roads back to pre -event
conditions is over 21 times the annual County Public Works operations
and maintenance budget. Without the support of FEMA Region IX, Butte
County roads will continue to deteriorate, leaving residents increasingly
vulnerable to wildfire and hampering response of vital emergency
services. Butte County is requesting FEMA Region IX rescind their denial
and approve the proposed damage repairs in alignment with the Public
Assistance Program and Policy Guidebook Chapter 7, Part III. The appeal
documentation for the denied projects will be filed through FEMA's
Grants Portal and a letter will be sent to Director Ghilarducci requesting
CalOES support Butte County's repair request. (County Administration)
Action requested - APPROVE LETTER AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO
SIGN.
Staff Report
3.04 Rescind and Replace Resolution No. 99-147 Increasing the Self -Insured
Workers' Compensation Inter -governmental Service Fund (ISF) and
Trust Account
Page 4 of 24
Butte County's Workers' Compensation program is self-insured and
utilizes a Third Party Administrator to administer its claim payments. In
July of 1979, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 79-149 to
establish an ISF and trust account with a Fiscal Agent and to maintain an
adequate balance to pay workers' compensation benefits during a 30
day period. In October of 1999, the Board adopted Resolution No. 99-
147 to establish a specified balance to be held in trust as $175,000 and
assign specific duties to Risk Management and the Auditor's Office. Due
to an increase in claims activity and payments, the current ISF trust
account balance of $175,000 is insufficient to handle all payments that
are processed in one month. Risk Management and the Auditor -
Controller recommend that the Board rescind and replace Resolution
No. 99-147, amending the amount placed in the ISF trust account from
the existing $175,000 to $375,000. (County Administration)

3.19 Resolutions Authorizing Submission of Funding Applications to the
California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Small Community
,,-n Drought Relief Program for Drought Related Projects
Page 12 of 24
The County received technical assistance funds in the Northern
Sacramento Valley Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (NSV
IRWMP) Mountain County Funding Area to help understand the water
needs in Palermo and other small water systems in the County that need
technical support and assistance. Project applications for the NSV
IRWMP were developed documenting small Disadvantaged Community
(DAC) projects needing funding and identifying funding sources for those
water systems in need of repair, rehabilitation and/or replacement in
order to meet drinking water regulations and reliably meet customer
water needs during all water year types. On September 14, 2021, the
Board directed staff to pursue funding through grant application
development for several of these identified small water systems through
the DWR Small Community Drought Relief Funding Program (Program).
Prioritized projects included: 1. Feather River School; 2. Berry Creek
School; 3. Foothill Solar Community; 4. Feather Ridge Estates. The
Feather River School project was determined to not be an appropriate fit
for the timing of this funding source. Development of an application was
not pursued. The Berry Creek School project application will be
submitted, and the project implemented, through the Butte County
Board of Education. The remaining projects, Foothill Solar and Feather
Ridge Estates, will both require replacement wells and associated water
distribution system improvements to become self-sufficient with water
facilities meeting water industry standards. Staff recommends the
County submit grant applications to the Program for these two projects.
The County will serve as the fiscal agency and administer the funds to
these projects. The Foothill Solar Community entity is not an eligible
applicant, but is prepared and able to implement the project if funding is
secured by the County. Feather Ridge Estates is supportive of the project
and pursuit of funding, however it has limited technical, managerial, and
financial capacity to implement its project. The County will need to
provide additional project support through staff time to Feather Ridge
Estates if funding is secured for successful project completion. The
project budget will include funds to support staff time and project
administration costs of the project. The Department recommends the
Board adopt resolutions authorizing applications for the Foothill Solar
and Feather Ridge Estates projects. (Water and Resource Conservation)

3.20 Resolutions Authorizing Submissions of Funding Applications to the
n Drinking Water State Revolving Fund and California Department of
Water Resources for Palermo Clean Water Consolidation Project
The Palermo Clean Water Consolidation Project (Project) will connect
parcels within the project area in the Palermo community to the South
Feather Water and Power Agency's (SFWPA) water system to provide a
safe, reliable drinking water supply to households. The SFWPA is the
logical water solution for the Palermo community given the existing
distribution system in the area, which already serves 110 parcels. On
September 28, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved a contract to
develop all elements of a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF)
application for the Project as well as up to three additional grant
applications to assist with funding the Project. At its September 28, 2021
meeting, the Board approved an MOU between the County and SFWPA
establishing roles and responsibilities for the County and SFWPA from
grant application to Project implementation. At its October 12, 2021
meeting the Board obligated three million of the County's American
Rescue Plan Act dollars to the Project and directed staff to identify grant
funding for the remainder of the Project. The best available funding
sources identified for the Project include the DWSRF and California
Department of Water Resources (DWR) Small Community Drought Relief
Funding program opportunities. Multiple sources of funding are
necessary to fully fund the Project. The Department of Water and
Resource Conservation recommends submittal of both funding
applications at this time to provide adequate funding for implementing
the Project in a timely manner. The Department recommends adopting
two resolutions: 1. a resolution authorizing a construction application
and execution of a grant agreement for funding under the DWSRF
program, and 2. a resolution authorizing submission and execution of a
grant agreement through the DWR Small Community Drought Relief
Funding Program. (Water and Resource Conservation)
