Annually, a report on the status of compliance with these disclosure requirements is provided to the Board of Supervisors. The County’s long term financings include Bonds Payable, Certificates of Participation, and Capital Leases for buildings and equipment. Each long term financing includes one or more of the following continuing disclosure requirements: 1) timely delivery of the County’s Annual Budget, 2) timely delivery of the County’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), 3) timely delivery of the County’s Annual Single Audit Report (SAR), and when applicable, 4) timely Notification of Events that could have an impact on long term financings (material events and/or voluntary events). Additionally, the County has a Bond Payable financing that requires timely posting of the Budget, ACFR, and Notification of Events with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) via the Electronic Municipal Markets Access (EMMA) website. The Trustee for the Bond Payable financing acts as the Dissemination Agent and completes the EMMA postings. The County has complied with all of the continuing disclosure requirements since the last report to the Board in April 2023 with the following exceptions. First, the ACFR for the year ended June 30, 2023 was not delivered timely to some lenders. Second, the ACFR was not posted timely with the MSRB. Both defaults resulted from external auditor delays. A Notice of Failure to Provide Audited Financial Statements was prepared by County staff. This notice was provided to the Bond Financing Trustee for posting to EMMA by the ACFR due date. Upon issuance, the ACFR was provided to the Trustee and posted to EMMA. Lenders accepted notification of the delay and there were no penalties - action requested - ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION. (County Administration) 3.04 Contract Amendments with 3CORE and the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) for Micro-Enterprise Loan Program - On July 20, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved two contracts with 3CORE and the SBDC to operate the Micro-Enterprise Loan Program funded by a Community Development Block Grant. On May 23, 2023, the Board of Supervisors amended guidelines to relaunch the program which provides forgivable loans up to $20,000 underwritten by 3CORE to eligible low-income businesses of five or fewer employees, and technical assistance provided by SBDC in the form of business classes and business advising. As the grant nears close-out, SBDC does not foresee utilizing all of the technical assistance funding currently budgeted for in their contract, and 3CORE is in a position to utilize those funds to underwrite additional loans. Under existing grant terms, funds can be moved from the SBDC contract to the 3CORE contract to fully spend down the grant. Staff recommends approving two contract amendments: (1) Decreasing the maximum payable to SBDC by $24,087, not-to-exceed $63,897; and (2) Increasing the maximum payable to 3CORE by $24,087, not-to-exceed $168,603.

All other terms remain the same - action requested - APPROVE CONTRACT AMENDMENTS AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration) 3.05 Letter of Support for AB 2902 (Wood) Organic Waste Recycling: Right-Sizing and Flexibility - SB 1383 (Lara, 2016), requires the state to reduce landfill disposal of organic waste to 75 percent below 2014 levels by 2025. Local governments are working to implement SB 1383, but California is not a one-size-fits-all state. The state’s smallest counties are exempted from certain aspects of SB 1383 through 2026, but they face significant implementation challenges if their exemptions sunset. AB 2902 would extend the current exemption for some of the State's smallest counties. While AB 2902 does not directly impact the SB 1383 implementation timeline in Butte County, the County desires to support reasonable adjustments to SB 1383 in recognition to the differing needs and challenges in rural areas throughout the state. Approval of a letter of support is recommended - action requested – APPROVE LETTER OF SUPPORT.

Dreamcatchers is a nonprofit organization providing employment preparation services, job placement assistance, and retention services. Dreamcatchers provides vocational services to individuals recovering from and/or living with mental health issues and people with physical disabilities as they transition to independent living within their communities. Vocational services provide opportunities for clients to work on effective communication, multi-tasking skills, direction following, and time management skills. The Department of Behavioral Health had a slight increase (3.9%) in allocations for Dreamcatchers in the fiscal year 2023-24 due to the rising costs of providing services. As a cost-driven program, the Department delayed the increase to examine cost allocations and ensure the increase was applied towards client-driven expenses. Under the agreement, Dreamcatchers has a measurable goal of providing supported employment vocational training to a minimum of 20 clients, and to transition a minimum of 18 clients to community employment and/or a higher level of vocational services. The Department recommends the Board approve an amendment to the Dreamcatchers agreement to increase funding by $5,368 not-to-exceed $141,234.

The Department of Public Health initiated a request for proposals for a modern LIMS that can easily be supported and maintained, to improve process efficiency and communication within the laboratory network and submitters. The County solicitation process determined Clinisys Inc. to be the most qualified candidate based on experience, references, cost, and capabilities.
