Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) allocated $1,017,399,000 in CDBG-DR
funds to the State of California to support California’s unmet recovery needs related to the 2018
wildfire season. On September 29, 2023, the California Department of Housing and Community

nonprofit organizations, have worked with the Town to develop a Workforce Training Program
(Program) that supports economic revitalization in the disaster impacted areas with job training
across several eligible trades. Given the primary location of the proposed Program, the Town is
best positioned to administer the $18.7M countywide allocation of CDBG-DR Workforce
Development funds on behalf of local partners and will submit the CDBG-DR application to HCD.

3.04 Contract Amendment #2 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. 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. County Administration completed a Request
for Proposal (RFP) process to upgrade the current outdated Granicus agenda management
system. In July of 2023, CivicPlus was selected as the new agenda management software provider
for the County, and at that time, the Board approved an amendment to extend the contract for
six months to allow time for the transition to the new platform. The transition is now expected
to occur in spring of 2024 and an additional six month contract amendment with Granicus is
needed to allow time for data extraction and transfer, software development and training in order
to provide uninterrupted services during the transition to CivicPlus. The Department recommends
amending the contract with Granicus extending the term six months to July 30, 2024 and
increasing the maximum payable amount by $33,092, not to exceed $113,086. The amendment
reflects a $2,235 increase from the prior six month extension - action requested - APPROVE

services at the Court. The Court contracts with Cal Northern School of Law to provide these
services, and the County provides the Court the funding for the program. County Administration
recommends entering into an agreement with the Butte County Superior Court for the Dispute
Resolution Program, funded by a dedicated portion of filing fees. The term of the agreement is
January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, not-to-exceed $44,000 - action requested -

Finance Authority (GSFA) - The County participates in GSFA through its membership in the Rural
County Representatives of California (RCRC). GSFA has developed a variety of homeowner
assistance programs to support its members. Each year, the California Debt Limit Allocation
Committee (CDLAC) allocates to each county their per capita portion of private activity bonds. The
County, in the past, has passed that allocation on to GSFA to be included in the pool with their
other members to be utilized for various housing programs. This year, GSFA is requesting the
County pass its allocation along to them in order to be included as a participating County in their
Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program. The MCC provides eligible borrowers with a federal
income tax credit based on a specified percentage of the mortgage interest paid each year. MCCs
can be used with any fixed- or adjustable- rate mortgages, but cannot be used with tax-exempt
mortgage revenue bond-supported finance programs. In order to authorize the assignment of the
County's allocation from CDLAC to GSFA the County must: (1) execute a letter of approval, and (2)
certify that the program to be funded with the allocation is consistent with the County's General
Plan. Per the Development Services Department, Butte County Housing Element Goal H-2 states:
"Encourage the provision of affordable housing in the unincorporated area." Based on this
statement, the determination has been made that the MCC program is consistent with the
General Plan. The GSFA is requesting the County execute a letter of approval and approve
Housing Element Certification Form, certifying that the MCC is consistent with the County's
General Plan - action requested – 1) APPROVE THE LETTER AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND

replaced in 2020 to protect vital communications technology. In May 2022, due to significant
restoration needs of the building at 479 East Park Avenue, the Board approved relocation of t he
Sheriff's Office to a leased facility and the building was vacated. The vacant building has had
repeated break-ins and currently requires daily Sheriff patrol to ensure that the communications
vault is not breached. The Department of General Services has investigated options to utilize,
lease and/or convey the building and/or property. Barriers to these options include the need to
retain the critical and relatively new Chico Communications Site and the high cost to repair and
restore the building for what is a relatively small footprint. In order to remove the liability of the
vacant building, the Department recommends demolishing the building and relocating the utilities
for an estimated cost of $400,000. Further, without the presence of the Sheriff's Office, the Chico
Communications Site requires physical security improvements including fencing, lighting, security
cameras and alarm systems in each vault for an estimated cost of $150,000. The Department of
General Services recommends the Board declare the building improvement upon 479 East Park
Avenue as surplus to the needs of the County and remove the asset from the capital asset ledger,
and approve a budget adjustment from General Fund Appropriation for Contingencies in the
amount of $550,000 to allow completion of both projects - action requested - 1) DECLARE THE
BUILDING IMPROVEMENT UPON 479 EAST PARK AVENUE AS SURPLUS TO THE NEEDS OF THE
Page 10
COUNTY; AND 2) APPROVE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FROM GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATIONS FOR
CONTINGENCIES. (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED) (General Services)
4.04 Resolution Approving Applications and Subsequent Amendments for 2017 and 2018 Community
Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Mitigation Planning & Public Service
Program (MIT-PPS) - The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)
receives federal funding for CDBG-DR MIT-PPS funds. These funds are available to specific
communities in California impacted by 2017 and 2018 disasters for projects that reduce risks of
natural hazards. Mitigation planning projects may serve the entire county, while public service
eligible projects must serve low- and middle-income residents.
Butte County may apply for up to $1,500,000 in funding for both the 2017 and 2018 years. County
Administration, in conjunction with various County departments, has identified priority projects
and readiness, and recommends applying for the following activities, totaling $3,000,000:
1. Alert FM Early Warning Project ($400,000)
2. Emergency Operations Capacity Building and Planning ($300,000)
3. Fuel Reduction Plan ($300,000)
4. Rural Water Safety Mitigation Planning ($500,000)
5. Foothill Rebuild Barrier Removal Project ($850,000)
6. Older Adult Housing and Lifeline Mitigation ($650,000)
All projects will positively impact the safety and security of rural communities in high risk of
wildfire or flooding. The Alert FM project will add another 1,500 early warning units in residences
within 17 remote communities. Emergency Operations Capacity Building will hone the skills of
local emergency responder teams. A Fuel Reduction Plan will assess and guide long-term efforts
to minimize vegetation risk along evacuation routes. Rural Water Safety Mitigation Planning will
update critical water guidelines in consideration of disaster impacts to support the on-going safety
of county residents. Foothill Rebuild Barrier Removal Project will fund building fees associated
with the recovery of safe housing in the burn scar areas. Older Adult Housing and Lifeline
Mitigation will support the in-home safety of older adults in the small and unincorporated
communities, particularly in the burn scar areas - action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION(S) AND
AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration)
4.05 Resolution Accepting the Grant Awards and Adjust Budget for United States Department of
Agriculture's Community Wildfire Defense Grant - In Fiscal Year 2022-23, the Butte County Fire
Department applied for two Community Wildfire Defense Grants (CWDG) through the United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA). In December of 2023, the department received notice
that both grants have been awarded. The first grant awarded in the amount of $4,900,000 over
five years to provide a year-round workforce of three Defensible Space Inspectors and one
Supervisor under a cooperative agreement with CAL FIRE, and one term Code Enforcement Officer
and one term Administrative Assistant with the Development Services Department to administer,
implement, and enforce Butte County's Defensible Space and Hazardous Vegetation Management
requirements under Butte County Code Chapter 38A Fire Prevention and Protection Ordinance.
The second grant award for $1,500,000 will purchase an approximately 24 -ton excavator with a
20+ ft reach, including a masticating head with a 12+ inch shredding diameter, an eight-tire
flatbed trailer sized to carry the above excavator, and a 10-tire truck capable of towing the above
trailer with excavator. Staff recommends adoption of a resolution accepting grant funds and
authorizing the Butte County Fire Chief to sign all related documents and approval of the
cooperative agreement with CAL FIRE for personnel to implement the grants and approval of
related budget adjustments - action requested - 1) ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR
TO SIGN; 2) APPROVE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND 3)

4.06 Overview of Ordinance No. 4157, 10-Year Age Limitation for Manufactured Homes - At the
October 10, 2023 meeting, the Board requested staff bring back a discussion regarding the 10-
year age restriction on the installation of manufactured homes. Ordinance No.4157 was initially
approved on February 26, 2019 resulting in a restriction in the number of used manufactured
homes installed in the County. Staff will present information and data related to this program
change for the Boards discussion and direction to staff - action requested – PROVIDE DIRECTION
TO STAFF. (Development Services)
4.07 Resolution of Intent to Amend the Assessments for County Service Area (CSA) 141 and Conduct a
Protest Hearing - CSA 141 provides wastewater treatment and sanitary sewer services to 56
parcels in the Mountain Oaks subdivision. While annual assessment charges have remained
unchanged since 2004, mandatory permitting and wastewater management costs have increased
significantly over the past two decades. As a result, expenditures exceed CSA revenues and are
depleting the CSA’s available fund balance. Recognizing that the CSA would exhaust its remaining
fund balance before July 1, 2024, the Board approved a $30,000 loan from the County's revolving
loan fund on December 12, 2023 to fund current permitting fees and a necessary Proposition 218
election to increase service charges. The Department recommends approving a Resolution of
Intent to amend the assessments for CSA 141. This action would allow the Department to begin
the Proposition 218 protest hearing process and set the Public Hearing for March 12, 2024 at 9:30
am (or as soon thereafter as circumstances permit) to consider such a charge - action requested
- 1) ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF INTENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND 2) SET A PROTEST
HEARING FOR MARCH 12, 2024 AT 9:30 AM. (Public Works)

5. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS
5.01 9:30 am - Timed Item - Informational Presentation on Proposition 1 - The Department of
Behavioral Health endeavors to keep the Board of Supervisors and Community informed of
potential legislative changes that will have significant impact on the Department's service
offerings. In March of 2024, Proposition 1 is scheduled to go before voters. This proposition would
change the way Mental Health Services Act dollars are allocated. If passed, the Proposition
redistributes funding allocations from Community Support Services, Prevention and Early
Intervention, and Innovation program areas to Housing for the seriously mentally ill who are
experiencing homelessness. The presentation is intended to communicate the details of the
proposition, and potential changes for County mental health services - action requested - ACCEPT
FOR INFORMATION. (Behavioral Health)

Residential Care Homes to add language elaborating on the specific Board and Care, Sober Living
Home, and Sober Living Environment land use types. On November 9, 2023 (ZCA23 -0003) the
Butte County Planning Commission adopted Resolutions PC23-23, recommending adoption of
ZCA23-0003 to the Board of Supervisors. On December 14, 2023 (ZCA23-0005) the Planning
Commission recommended the following changes to the proposed Ordinance regarding Large
Residential Care Homes which is different from the staff recommended Ordinance: updating the
definition of Residential Care Homes, limiting Residential Care Homes to a maximum of 14
residents, keeping the requirement of the Minor Use Permit requirement for Large Residential
Care Homes and removing "unlicensed care homes" from the Residential Care Home Definition -

5.03 10:25 am - Timed Item - Senate Bill 1383 (Lara) Progress Report: Update on County's Efforts to
Meet Organic Waste Reduction Targets - In September 2016, California passed Senate Bill (SB)
1383 to address the reduction of short-lived climate pollutants to reduce greenhouse gas
generation and their emissions. The Board of Supervisors has received previous updates on SB
1383 progress since 2021. The Department will provide an update on the County's progress to
date and upcoming efforts to meet the requirements established by SB 1383 - action requested -
ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION. (Public Works)
5.04 10:30 am - Public Hearing - Resolution Adopting a Negative Declaration for the Neal Road
Recycling and Waste Facility Transloading Facility Project - The Department proposes constructing
a mixed organic waste transloading facility to assist with loading mixed organic waste into transfer
trucks at the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility (NRRWF), which will be transported to an
off-site composting facility. The proposed project responds to Senate Bill 1383, which mandates
organic waste recycling and composting programs to meet organic waste reduction goals. Organic
waste in landfills significantly contributes to methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas. The
0.5-acre project site is on Module 4 at the NRRWF, located at 1023 Neal Road, Paradise, CA, in
unincorporated Butte County (APN 040-600-082). Source-separated mixed organic waste will be
transferred off-site for composting. An Initial Study/Negative Declaration was completed under
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. A Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative
Declaration for the NRRWF Transloading Facility Project was prepared and advertised on
September 22, 2023, for public comment and review through October 23, 2023. The study
identified no significant environmental effects. No comments were received regarding the
adequacy of the Initial Study. The NRRWF Transloading Facility Project operations are scheduled
to begin later this year - action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN.

Information and Procedures Concerning the Agenda and Board of Supervisors Meetings
Meeting Information:
Meetings are generally held the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Meetings start at 9:00 a.m. and are held in the
Board of Supervisors Chambers, County Administration Building, 25 County Center Drive, Oroville. At the end of each year the
Board adopts a meeting schedule for the upcoming year. Meeting dates can be changed as a result of holidays or other events
so please check the meeting calendar to be certain. Copies of the adopted meeting calendar for the year are available in the
County Administrative Office or on the Clerk of the Board website page.
Agenda Information:
The agenda for every meeting of the Board is posted in front of the County Administration Building at least 72 hours before
each meeting, and is available by mail subscription, e-mail subscription, or at the Clerk of the Board website. A copy of the
agenda and supporting materials provided to the Board of Supervisors members to explain each agenda item (excluding
documents that are not a public record within the meaning of the Public Records Act) are available for your review at the County
Administrative Office, the Chico, Oroville, and Paradise libraries (please do not remove items from these files), and at the Clerk
of the Board website. Copies of supporting materials can be made for you at a charge to cover costs. The list of communications
included with the agenda packages is not comprehensive. Additional communications to the Board of Supervisors may have
been received but not included in the agenda supporting material. Copies of all communications received by the Board of
Supervisors (excluding documents that are not a public record within the meaning of the Public Records Act) are available at
the County Administrative Office upon request.
Agenda Format and Meeting Order:
The agenda is usually organized into the following areas and meetings generally proceed in the following order:
1. Consent Agenda: These items are considered routine and are handled by one motion and vote of the Board. If you wish to
discuss any item on the Consent Agenda you can either fill out a speaker card (located in the back of the board room) and give
it to the Clerk of the Board (sitting to the right of the Board) or, when the Chair asks if there is anything anyone would like to
remove from the Consent Agenda, stand and approach the podium and request the item be removed. The removed items are
discussed at the end of the Regular Agenda.
2. Public Comment: This is the area of the agenda where members of the audience may address the Board on any matter not
listed on the agenda. The Board, by law, cannot take action on any matter not listed on the agenda, but may respond to
statements or questions and provide staff direction. Public Comment is limited to 3 minutes, and may be adjusted at the
discretion of the Chair.
3. Regular Agenda: This is where presentations to the Board and items that require full discussion are heard. Items removed
from the Consent Agenda are discussed under this section.
4. Public Hearing and Timed Items: This is where items that are required by law to be heard as a public hearing are set. This is
the section where appeals before the Board are usually discussed. Hearings may start after the time listed, but will never start
before the time listed.
5. Closed Session: The Board is authorized, by law, to meet in a closed session in certain circumstances. This area of the agenda
identifies those items that will be discussed during the Closed Session.
Public Participation:
It is the policy of the Board of Supervisors, and a requirement of the California Open Meetings Law, to allow members of the
public the opportunity to comment on all matters before the Board. Public participation is limited to matters within the
subject matter jurisdiction of the Board pursuant to Government Code Section 54954.3. The Board of Supervisors is also
committed to making its proceedings accessible to all residents. Individuals with special needs should call the Clerk of the
Board at 530.552.3300, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to request disability-related
modifications/accommodations, or to request materials in alternate formats. All requests for special accommodations
and/or alternative format documents must be made 48 hours prior to the meeting.
Disclosure of Campaign Contributions
Pursuant to Government Code section 84308, members of the Board of Supervisors are disqualified and not able to participate
in any agenda item involving contracts (other than competitively bid, labor, or personal employment contracts), franchises,
discretionary land use permits and other entitlements if the Board member received more than $250 in campaign contributions
from the applicant or contractor, an agent of the applicant or contractor, or any financially interested participant who actively
supports or opposes the County’s decision on the agenda item since January 1, 2023. Members of the Board of Supervisors who
have received, and applicants, contractors or their agents who have made, campaign contributions totaling more than $250 to
a Board member since January 1, 2023, are required to disclose that fact for the official record of the subject proceeding.
Disclosures must include the amount of the campaign contribution and identify the recipient Board member and may be made
either in writing to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors prior to the subject hearing or by verbal disclosure at the time of the
hearing.
