unincorporated area of North Chico. Keefer Road is made up of two distinct road sections: the

and 32 feet wide, and the minor rural collector from Hicks Lane to Cohasset Road, which is also
approximately 2.2 miles long and reduces to 20 feet wide at its narrowest section. Due to the
narrow road widths and the rural nature of the roadway, the proposed ordinance entitled
"Commercial Vehicle Length Limit-Keefer Road" will limit commercial vehicles over sixty feet in
length on Keefer Road for 2.2 miles between Hicks Lane and Cohasset Road, as allowed per the
California Vehicle Code Section 35401. Signs will be posted to prohibit commercial trucks over
sixty feet in length from using this section of roadway. Alternate routes are identified as State

the Sacramento/Delta portions of the Bay-Delta Plan. The State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB) has a process underway for the Bay-Delta that proposes, through an unimpaired flow
approach, to redirect 1,000,000 acre-feet of water away from the Sacramento Valley. This
supplies, which may result in increasedgroundwater pumping to augment water needs. The
counties in the Sacramento Valley region have common interests in having the SWRCB follow an
alternative approach. The Northern California Water Association in conjunction with agencies
throughout the Sacramento Valley has developed an alternative, "Agreement to Support our
Healthy Rivers and Landscapes" (Voluntary Agreements). If approved by the Butte County Board

days before returning to work for an employer in the same retirement system from which they
receive a retirement allowance. An exemption to this rule is permitted by Government Code
section 7522.56 and 21224, if approved by the governing body in a public meeting on the regular
agenda. The Department of General Services has a Senior Contracts/Procurement Agent position

operations. The incumbent retired effective December 30, 2023. Although the position is in the
process of being recruited for, there is a critical need to have the retiree available for a short-
term, interim period to assist the new hire with essential aspects of the position. Given the unique
subject matter expertise and knowledge, the retiree is the only person capable of meeting this
critical, short-term need. The Director of Human Resources has reviewed the facts and concurs
that the request is consistent with the exemption permitted under Government Code section
7522.56 and 21224-action requested-ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.
