(Auditor -Controller) Action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN Staff Report Resolution 23-077 3.02 Contract Amendment with Granicus, LLC (Granicus) for Public Meeting Management Software Since 2011, the County has contracted with Granicus for a variety of public meeting management services which have included agenda management tools, minute management, as well as live and archived web -streaming video of the County's Board of Supervisors meetings. In 2018, the Planning Commission and the Water Commission began utilizing Granicus for broadcasting meetings, in addition to posting agendas and meeting minutes online. Having an Agenda Management System has increased government transparency and accessibility to the public by allowing the public to access agendas, supporting documents, meeting minutes, and the ability to view live or prior meetings online, as well as promote civic engagement by allowing the public to submit public comment online prior to a meeting. The Clerk of the Board office began a Request for Proposal (RFP) process in February of 2023, which has not yet concluded. Therefore, staff recommends extending its current contract with Granicus an additional six months, through December 2023, to allow for completion of the RFP process. The amount payable increases by $30,857, not -to -exceed $79,995. All other terms remain the same. (County Administration) Action requested - APPROVE CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN Staff Report The following member(s) of the public submitted Public Comment on this item: John Stonebraker (electronically) 3.03 Ratify Letter of Opposition of Human Services Budget Trailer Bills, Assembly Bill (AB) 120 and Senate Bill (SB) 120 In -Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Fiscal Penalty Human Services budget trailer bills, AB 120 and SB 120 include provisions that would impose a ten percent ongoing penalty to the County in the event of an impasse of a negotiated IHSS collective bargaining agreement. The proposed fiscal penalty represents an unfunded State mandate requiring counties to fund at least a $1.00 wage increase above current wage and, if enacted, would negatively impact funding for other health and human services programs. The penalty provision is opposed by the California State Association of Counties (CSAC), California Association of Public Authorities (CAPA), County Welfare Directors Association of California (CWDA), Urban Counties of California (UCC), and Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC) who have proposed an alternative penalty amendment that would make the ten percent ongoing penalty apply only after a county has received the existing seven percent one-time penalty. On July 3, 2023 a letter of opposition was submitted by the Chief Administrative Officer. Due to an accelerated hearing schedule, there was no time to wait until the July 25, 2023 Board of Supervisors. Staff recommends the Board ratify the letter. (County Administration) Action requested - RATIFY LETTER OF OPPOSITION Staff Report 3.04 Secure Rural Schools Act - Reauthorization Letter and Ratification The Secure Rural Schools program provides funding for schools, roads, and other municipal services to more than 700 counties across the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and was reauthorized by the 2021 Infrastructure Bill. Payments are divided into three distinct categories, or Titles: Title I for roads and schools, Title II for projects on Federal lands, and Title III for county projects. In years when the Secure Rural Schools Act is reauthorized by Congress, Title I and Title III payments are made from the Forest Service to states. States then distribute the payment to all eligible counties. A participating county receiving more than $350,000 must allocate 15 percent to 20 percent of its share to Title II, Title III, or a combination of both, except that the allocation for Title III projects may not exceed 7 percent. The estimated federal fiscal year 2023 allocation for Butte County is $453,000. 2023 will be the second year since 2013 that counties have had the option to change their election percentages. In 2022, the County allocated 80 percent to Title I, 13 percent to Title II, and 7 percent for Title III. County Administration recommends the Board of Supervisors authorize the same election percentages previously used for the County's share of the funding: 80 percent to Title I, 13 percent to Title II, and 7 percent for Title III; and ratify this direction to meet the submission deadline of July 20, 2023.

Most work done during animal sheltering operations is eligible for FEMA reimbursement. However, there must be policy in place and documentation of costs must be in accordance with local policy. During the chaos of animal sheltering operations, NVADG operated outside local policy while incurring eligible costs. Because these costs were not tracked by the Emergency Operations Center, they did not get included in the FEMA reimbursement submittal. After the full documentation was submitted by NVADG to the County, a combination of staffing changes, COVID 19, and the North Complex Fire led to loss of the documentation. FEMA submittal deadlines have passed and these costs are no longer eligible for federal reimbursement. The loss of over $250,000 in expenses by NVADG has put the non-profit in a dire financial situation. Because NVADG is a critical partner and has provided invaluable support during disasters in Butte County, the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) has worked with NVADG to rebuild the documentation package, determining that NVADG incurred $199,046 in eligible costs that were directly related to their support of animal rescue operations for the Camp Fire. The Camp Fire was an unprecedented event and actions taken were done with the best interest of the public in mind. However, response to one disaster should not create another. OEM has worked with all involved to ensure these actions are not repeated. Changes to policy have been made ensuring clear delineation of responsibility, unequivocally stating expenses incurred outside of policy will not be reimbursed. As the County has a new memorandum of understanding with NVADG outlining these changes and clearly defining future expectations, OEM recommends the Board approve reimbursement of $199,046 to NVADG in eligible costs from General Fund Contingencies for costs incurred during the Camp Fire animal rescue operation. (County Administration) Action requested - APPROVE REIMBURSEMENT OF NVADG CAMP FIRE COSTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $199,046.01 FROM THE GENERAL FUND CONTINGENCIES Staff Report This item was removed from the agenda and due to return at a later date. 4.06 Update of Budget, Legislative, and Other Current Issues by the Chief Administrative Officer 4.07 Board of Supervisors Public Comment (Continuation as Needed) - Comments to the Board on issues and items not listed on the agenda.

PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS 5.01 9:30AM - Timed Item - Appeal of the Planning Commission's Denial of Tentative Subdivision Map (TSM21-0001) An appeal was filed on the Planning Commission's denial of a Tentative Subdivision Map (TSM21-0001) to subdivide a parcel totaling 22.07 acres, situated in the MDR (Medium Density Residential, 6,000 sq. ft. minimum) zone, to create one hundred and eight (108) single-family residential lots, ranging in size from 6,000 to 12,366 square feet. New lots would be accessed directly from two new road connections off Biggs Avenue, east of 18th Street. A public water and wastewater system (Thermalito Water & Sewer District) would serve each lot. The project parcel is currently undeveloped. The project site is located east of 18th Street, between Oro Dam Boulevard and Biggs Avenue, directly adjacent to the City of Oroville, in the unincorporated area of Butte County. The Planning Commission considered this item at a public hearing held on June 22, 2023 and based on inconsistency with the Butte County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan by the Butte County Airport Land Use Commission (BCALUC), denied the Tentative Subdivision Map on a 4-0 vote. The appellant is appealing the denial by the Planning Commission and has submitted findings for an overrule request on the inconsistency determination made by the BCALUC. The proposed project's density (5.3 dwelling units per acre) is inconsistent with the B2 Compatibility Zone density (0.2 dwelling units per acre), creating a safety issue, and the project site does not meet the infill criteria of the Butte County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. If an overrule is supported, a 2/3 vote (4/5 vote by the Board of Supervisors) is required pursuant to Public Utilities Code sections 21676.5 and 21670.

Veteran Memorial Hall Committees were established for the overall management of the Halls, which included a Hall rental program to increase revenue to fund facility repairs and maintenance. The Department of General Services assigned a Senior Real Property Agent to administer the coordination of the use of the Halls. In 2020, staff was reassigned to meet County priorities and the critical needs of the Department. Due to the reduction of staff to coordinate the use of the Halls, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution to disband the existing Veteran Memorial Hall Committees and terminated the use of the Veteran Memorial Halls by the general public. Since the adoption of the resolution, Veteran organizations have interpreted the resolution in varied ways, including; limiting use to Veteran organizations functions only, allowing use by any group approved by a member of a Veteran group, or allowing use of the Hall in exchange for a suggested donation with no County internal visibility or control. The Department will provide an overview of the current use of the Halls and considerations for policy development.
