Heaters serving 3, 5 and 7 Gillick Way, Oroville for the Butte County Sheriff's Office
The Butte County Jail and Sheriff's Office operates at 3, 5, and 7 Gillick Way,
Oroville. These facilities, with a combined total of approximately 149,058 square
feet, employ a combination of boiler and conventional water heater systems to
deliver domestic hot water and supplement heating throughout the facilities. The
boilers and water heaters are of roughly the same age, are past their average useful
life, and have either failed or are showing signs of imminent failure. In December

start of engineering for a new boiler system. The original project budget of
$730,000 is for engineering, permitting and the placement of a rented portable
boiler following the failure of one boiler system in June 2022 at a cost of
approximately $14,000 per month. To move the project forward with construction,
inspections, project management, and the continued rental of the portable boiler
through the estimated six month lead time to procure equipment, a budget
adjustment of $610,000 is necessary, for a total budget amount of $1,340,000. The
Department of General Services recommends funding this budget adjustment with
$100,000 from the Department budget and $510,000 from General Fund
Appropriation for Contingencies. Additionally, the Department recommends that
the Board approve the Job Order Contract Notice to Proceed for Emcor to replace
the boiler and water heaters serving these facilities and appoint the Director of
General Services as the officer of the project. The term of the job order is 180 days
from execution of the Notice to Proceed for a fixed cost of $796,694. (General

3.13 Contract Amendment with Thrifty Rooter for Septage Transfer Operations,

On January 24, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved a contract with Thrifty
Rooter of Yuba City to operate a future NRRWF septage transfer facility and
transport and dispose of septage. The contract term was five years from the Notice
to Proceed once the septage transfer facility was complete, for a maximum not -to -
exceed amount of $6 million. The septage facility at NRRWF became operational in
May 2018, and Thrifty Rooter was issued a Notice to Proceed to process
approximately 4.5 million gallons of septage annually. On October 23, 2018, the
Board amended the contract with Thrifty Rooter to include transfer and disposal
costs for liquid waste associated with decommissioning the then -existent septage
impoundments at NRRWF. The amendment increased the maximum payable
amount by $1 million, not -to -exceed $7 million. All other terms of the contract

3.14 Budget Adjustment and Contract with Cal Custom Enterprises, Inc. for Jail
Transport Van Upfitting
In FY 2020-21 the Sheriff's Office issued a purchase order for two new jail inmate
transport vans. Due to supply chain issues caused by COVID-19 there was a
significant delay in production of the vans. Both vans were not received until earlier
this fiscal year. The vans require extensive custom sheet metal fabrication and
installation of custom heating and air conditioning systems to allow safe
transportation of inmates. Since the vans were not received in a timely manner the
original quote for upfitting the vans expired. In December 2022, the Department
published a Request for Proposals to obtain new quotes for upfitting the vans and
received no responses. Department staff identified Cal Custom Enterprises, Inc. in
Durham as willing and able to perform the work needed on the vans. Due to the
delay in receipt of the vans and other supply chain issues and labor cost increases
over the last two years, the overall cost of the materials and labor more than
tripled. The Department is requesting a budget adjustment of $87,000 to increase
appropriations in order to pay for the difference between the original amount
budgeted and the cost of the contract. The Department recommends utilizing the
Inmate Welfare funds to pay for the increased cost. The Department recommends
entering into a contract with Cal Custom Enterprises, Inc. for jail transport van
upfitting. The term of the contract begins upon execution and goes through August
31, 2023, not -to -exceed $116,794. (Sheriff)

4.08 Request for PG&E Settlement Funds for Assessment Ownership Software and
Related Contract with Just Appraised Inc.
Butte County received a $252 million settlement from PG&E to compensate the
County for the impacts of the Camp Fire, which was caused by PG&E's criminal
negligence. The County's net settlement after attorney fees is $206.5 million dollars.
On July 21, 2020, the Board of Supervisors directed the PG&E Settlement Fund
(PG&E Fund) be established and committed to County stability, hazard mitigation,
and disaster recovery. These funds can be used on matters throughout the County,
with priority given to projects in the Camp Fire burn area. The Board has
committed funds to 24 projects for a total of $89 million since adopting the policy.
The Assessor's Office has been adversely impacted by the Camp Fire in many ways.
First, before the Camp Fire, total FTEs in the department was 39. Now, that number
is 35. Additionally there are overwhelming requests for calamity applications and
reappraisals, ownership changes, appraisal of new improvements, and many other
tasks pertaining to the accurate assessment of property values for property tax
services. This dynamic has created an overload of work on the existing staff; which
has resulted in staff turnover and loss of institutional knowledge. In researching
efforts to alleviating these issues, County Administration recommends approval of a
contract with Just Appraised, Inc., which is a software developed for assessment
functions. It enhances departmental workflow in performing change of ownership
duties. Once implemented, the software will save staff time and significantly
reduce the above mentioned workload. The total project cost is for $218,839 and
the contract is for $151,725. The contract has a three year term beginning May 1,
2023 and terminates April 30, 2026. This product has been deemed sole source
and was exempted from competitive bid. This request for PG&E funding is for
$68,839, which represents the difference between the total project cost of
$218,839 and the $150,000 that is budgeted in FY 2023-24 for this project. (County

4.09 Court Reporters for the Butte County Superior Court
Supervisor Ritter, with concurrence of Chair Kimmelshue, requested an item be
agendized to discuss court reporters in Butte County and to have a conversation
related to their salary and the current situation. California courts must provide
court reporters in felony criminal, dependency, and delinquency juvenile
courtrooms. Court reporters are not statutorily required to be provided by the
courts in civil, family law, probate, misdemeanor criminal and traffic courtrooms.
Retaining and recruiting court reporters has been an issue for courts across the
State for years and many courts are routinely unable to cover non -mandated case
types including civil, family law, and probate. Courts are a State function as of 1997.
The State appropriated $30,000,000 in the Budget Act of 2021 to increase the
number of court reporters in family law and civil law cases. The Budget Act of 2022
clarified the funding may be used for recruitment and retention purposes. Courts
have used the funds in varying ways to address the retention and recruitment of
court reporters. A press release issued by the Superior Courts of California on
November 2, 2022 indicates funding is not a viable solution as there are no
qualified people for these positions. The Courts indicate a solution is needed that
allows alternative means to creating a record in civil, family law and probate
courtrooms. The Board of Supervisors received a letter from a court reporter
employed by the Butte County Superior Court outlining concerns with salaries and
the use of remote court reporters. Butte County is not the employer of record for
court reporters and does not negotiate with these court employees as a result of a
1999 agreement between Butte County and the Superior Court, which began the
process of separating Butte County and the Butte County Superior Court. The
function of employee negotiations with court reporters remains with the courts
pursuant to Government Code sections 71600-71618 added by the Trial Court
Employment Protection and Governance Act. (County Administration)

4.10 Resolution of Intent Directing Commencement of Procedures to Impose an
Increased Maximum Service Charge in County Service Area (CSA) 82 Stirling City
and Set a Public Hearing to Consider Such Charge
CSA 82 manages the Stirling City sewer collection system, which provides sanitary
sewer services to 95 parcels. The sewer collection system was originally built in
1942. From 1960 to 1981, the Stirling City Sewer Maintenance District maintained
the system before being dissolved in 1981. The District was replaced by CSA 82 to
continue sewer maintenance services. The CSA consists of approximately 5,500 feet
of underground pipe. The sewer system's lower section was replaced in 2006, while
the upper section has not been rehabilitated and is failing. The State Water
Resources Control Board (State) awarded the CSA a $1.2 million grant to replace the
upper section of the sewage collection system. However, the grant requires a fiscal
sustainability plan to ensure adequate ongoing maintenance of the new system.
The Department of Public Works and District 5 Supervisor met with the community
last summer to discuss the project, grant, and potential funding increase. In August
2022, the Board of Supervisors approved $128,938 in American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA) funding to pay for ongoing required State permitting, monitoring,
administrative costs, and other related operations. The current CSA maximum per
parcel service charge is insufficient to meet future maintenance needs and does not
meet the fiscal sustainability requirements of the grant. The Department
recommends scheduling a protest hearing for June 13, 2023, to consider increases
to the annual parcel charges for CSA 82. The Department recommends: 1)
increasing the maximum parcel charge to allow for annual rate increases as outlined
in the staff report submitted with this item 2) including an annual Consumer Price
Index inflationary rate adjustment to the parcel charges beginning in FY 2032-33.
CSA 82 may lose the loan opportunity if the proposed assessments are not
approved. Subsequently, the parcel owners will be responsible for the costs
associated with replacing the upper sewer system. (Public Works)

4.11 Update on Groundwater Sustainability Agency_(GSA) Activities
The Department of Water and Resource Conservation will provide the Board of
Supervisors with an update on the following GSA Activities: 1) Sustainable
Groundwater Management Grant Program Applications submittals for the Vina,
Wyandotte Creek, and Butte subbasins with a combined total request of $22.7
million were submitted on December 16, 2022. It is anticipated the draft award list
will be issued in June 2023 with the final award list posted October 2023, and grant
agreements finalized November 2023 - January 2024; 2) Sustainable Groundwater
Management Act (SGMA) Compliance Annual Reports were completed and
submitted prior to the April 1, 2023 deadline. Each report describes how the GSAs
are progressing in their efforts to implement their Groundwater Sustainability Plans
(GSP); 3) Developing a Long-term Funding Mechanism for the Vina and Wyandotte
Creek GSAs. The Vina and Wyandotte Creek GSAs are following parallel tracks for
implementing their funding mechanisms. It is anticipated that their fee approvals
will be completed in July 2023, with proposed fees submitted to the Assessor's
Office by the August 10, 2023 deadline to be included on the 2024 tax roll. The
County's consultant prepared the Vina GSA Technical Memorandum summarizing
the long-term funding needs and options to facilitate approval of a long-term
funding mechanism over a five year planning horizon. The County's consultant is
currently completing the Wyandotte Creek GSA long-term funding Technical
Memorandum, which is anticipated to be completed April 20, 2023. The Vina and
Wyandotte Creek GSAs developed budget projections assuming they would engage
Butte County and the Department of Water and Resource Conservation to hire a
position to oversee GSA administration activities. The position would be funded by
the Vina and Wyandotte Creek GSAs. The Department recommends the Board
provide direction to staff regarding an agreement with the GSAs to fund a position
in the Department; 4) The GSAs located in the Butte Subbasin are considering long-
term cost sharing options to fund SGMA compliance and GSP implementation. GSA
managers are coordinating to hire a consultant to aide in this process. (Water and

5. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS
5.01 9:30AM - Timed Item - Resolution Authorizing the Temporary Closure of McIntosh
Avenue to Vehicular Traffic Approximately_ just East of its Intersection with
Diamond Avenue
McIntosh Avenue is a local county -maintained road west of Dayton Road in the
unincorporated area of Chico. While much of the road serves nearby residents, a
section of McIntosh Avenue east of Diamond Avenue provides no significant public
access and serves no public purpose. The County abandoned most of this section of
the road roughly a century ago. It's unclear why the County did not abandon the
remaining strip of McIntosh Avenue at that time. The road's remote nature and
limited public visibility attract illegal dumping and other illegal activity. The
Department of Public Works frequently responds to resident -driven complaints of
illegal dumping along this portion of McIntosh Avenue. Residents have asked the
Department to consider temporarily closing this portion of the road to the public to
deter this illegal activity. Per California Vehicle Code section 21101.4, local
authorities may adopt rules and regulations by ordinance or resolution to
temporarily close roads when the following conditions are met: 1) The County
Sheriff's Office supports the closure of the roadway due to serious and continual
illegal dumping; 2) The roadway is not designated as a through highway or arterial
street; 3) Vehicular or pedestrian traffic contributes to serious and continual illegal
dumping on the roadway; and 4) The closure will not substantially adversely affect
traffic flow, safety on the adjacent streets or surrounding neighborhoods, the
operation of emergency vehicles, the performance of municipal or public utility
services, or the delivery of freight by commercial vehicles in the area. All of these
conditions have been met. The Department has completed all necessary public
noticing requirements and recommends the Board of Supervisors adopt a
resolution authorizing the temporary closure of McIntosh Avenue at Diamond
Avenue in Chico for a period of 18 months through October 25, 2024. Further
temporary closure of McIntosh Avenue at this location may be renewed for an
additional 18 months for up to eight additional consecutive periods as approved by
the Board. (Public Works)

From the Ground Up Farm Festival - From the Ground Up Farms has submitted an
application for an Outdoor Festival License per Chapter 12, Article III. Outdoor
Festivals. The festival is proposed for three days, Friday, June 23, 2023 to Sunday,
June 25, 2023 from 3:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and from 3 p.m.

010). The festival is proposed to feature outdoor arts, culture, music, and healing
activities. The Department of Development Services completed an environmental
review of the application, completed a site visit and determined since no
permanent structures will be built, the project is categorically exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), per Section 15304 (e) of the CEQA
Guidelines - "Minor temporary use of land having negligible or no permanent
effects on the environment, including carnivals, etc." The Department recommends
that the Board of Supervisors approve the application for an outdoor festival
license, subject to the recommended conditions related to: amplified sound,
potable water, solid waste management, restroom and hand washing stations,
wastewater management, fire control, encroachment permits for applicable signs,
traffic control, dust control, insurance requirements, and outreach to California
Highway Patrol. (Development Services)
