Motion passed unanimously
3.01 Amendment to Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with Glenn and Colusa County for
the Shared Ownership and Use of the Heavy Capacity Weight Truck (HCWT)
In January 2000, Butte, Colusa and Glenn Counties entered into a JPA for the joint
purchase and shared use of a HCWT. The HCWT is used by the County Sealers to
test and certify heavy capacity scales throughout their respective counties. In
October 2021, Glenn County formally withdrew from the JPA after purchasing their
own HCWT. Due to California Air Resource Board regulations, starting January 1,
2025 Butte County will no longer will be able to use the HCWT because it will not
comply with diesel particulate emission standards, and retrofitting is not an option.
Due to low mileage usage and population statistics, Colusa County meets an
exemption from these regulations. On March 28, 2023 Colusa County approved the
amendment to the existing JPA which would allow for Butte County to transfer
ownership to Colusa County starting October 1, 2024 and allow Butte County to
keep the maintenance and replacement funds of the HCWT. Currently there is
approximately $72,972 in the HCWT Maintenance and Replacement Fund. The
Department of Agriculture recommends the Board of Supervisors approve the
amendment to the JPA. (Agriculture)

accurate vaccine information, promote vaccination within vulnerable populations
and address vaccine hesitancy questions/concerns. The expanded funding and

4.06 Contract with American Pavement Systems for the Cal -Recycle Rubberized Chip
Seal Project
On February 14, 2023, the Board of Supervisors authorized the Department of
Public Works to advertise and solicit bids for the construction of projects included in
the Public Works Infrastructure Master Plan (IMP). The Cal -Recycle Rubberized Chip
Seal project is included in the IMP and consists of installing a rubberized chip seal
on roads in and around the community of Nord. The Department advertised for
bids on March 14, 2023 and a total of five bids were received on April 6, 2023. The
lowest responsive and responsible bidder was American Pavement Systems, Inc. of
Modesto, with a bid amount of $1,255,400. The Department received a Cal -Recycle
Rubberized Pavement Grant in the amount of $218,079 to utilize recycled -content
surfacing products derived from waste tires generated in California to decrease the
adverse environmental impacts created by unlawful disposal and stockpiling of
waste tires. Rubberized materials are a proven road paving material that has been
used in California since the 1970s. It is made by blending ground tire rubber with
asphalt binder mixed with conventional aggregate materials. The grant helps pay for
the increased costs of including rubberized products in the traditional chip seal
process. A rubberized chip seal may last up to twice as long as a traditional chip
seal, making it a cost efficient option for future chip seal projects. The Department
recommends that the Board award the contract to American Pavement Systems,
Inc., approve the plans and specifications, and authorize the Director of Public
Works to sign the contract and order changes or additions in work performed per
Public Contract Code section 20142. (Public Works)

4.09 Butte County Groundwater Status Report for the 2022 Water Year
Pursuant to Chapter 33 of the Butte County Code, the Department of Water and
Resource Conservation is required to collect data on groundwater levels and report
to the Board of Supervisors each year on the status of groundwater conditions. On
September 16, 2014, Governor Brown signed into law a package of bills collectively
called the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), which requires
Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) in a subbasin to adopt and implement
a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP). GSAs must also submit annual reports to
the Department of Water Resources (DWR) by April 1st each year. The Department,
in cooperation with the GSAs in the three subbasins, prepared an annual report for
each subbasin to meet the requirements of SGMA. These reports are submitted to
the DWR SGMA Portal (https://sgma.water.ca.gov/portal/). This is the second Butte
County Groundwater Status Report (Report) since adoption of the GSPs in the three
subbasins in the County: Butte, Vina, and Wyandotte Creek Subbasins. The Report
contains an overview of the hydrologic conditions of the 2022 water year and a high
level description of conditions in each subbasin based on content in their individual
annual reports. The subbasin specific annual reports are included as attachments to
the Report and contain an executive summary, general information and a location
map for the subbasin, groundwater level data shown as graphs and contour maps,
estimated groundwater extractions, surface water supply, total water use in the
subbasin, and an estimate of change in groundwater storage. The annual reports
also describe progress made toward implementing the GSP with an update on
projects and management actions. The Subbasin annual reports were reviewed by
the Technical Advisory Committee of the Water Commission on March 20, 2023 and
the Water Commission was presented with content from the Report and discussed
it at their April 5, 2023 meeting. This Report is provided with the agenda item
materials to the Board of Supervisors to meet the reporting requirements of
Chapter 33. The full report and the appendices are available online at:
