As a key part of the effort to ensure long- term, high-quality data collection, DWR and Butte County are updating records for the monitoring networks and developing new License Agreements (Agreements) granting each organization access to perform groundwater level well monitoring, water quality well monitoring, topographic surveys, work with data logger and telemetry equipment and for other incidental purposes as may be required, subject to the provisions contained within the Agreements. The Agreements have been reviewed by County Counsel and revised as appropriate. There are two versions of the Agreement based on the well either being equipped with telemetry equipment or not. The appropriate agreement will be presented for signature to each well owner participating in the data collection program through a joint outreach effort between DWR and Butte County staff - action requested - 1) AUTHORIZE THE USE OF LICENSE AGREEMENTS; AND 2) AUTHORIZE COUNTY COUNSEL AND DIRECTOR OF WATER AND RESOURCE CONSERVATION TO SIGN AND EXECUTE AGREEMENTS.

(Public Works) 4.07 County Service Area (CSA) Program Update - County Service Areas (CSAs) are special districts established by county governments to provide specific services to residents within designated areas of the county. Butte County has utilized CSAs for over 65 years, serving numerous communities. Funding for CSAs was significantly impacted by Proposition 218, a ballot initiative passed by California voters in 1996. Proposition 218 allowed property owners to vote on most local taxes and assessments, requiring approval from the affected property owners for any increases in taxes or fees. However, this initiative also severely limited local government's ability to generate revenue for essential services and infrastructure improvements. Since then, many CSAs have struggled to generate revenues necessary to meet intended service levels. On June 13, 2023, the Department provided an update on the status of the CSA program for the Board of Supervisors' consideration and discussion. The Board directed the staff to focus efforts on some of the most at-risk CSAs, which had a high probability of supporting a rate increase. Since then, the Department has successfully resolved several issues within these at- risk CSAs. However, numerous challenges remain within the CSA program. Over the past month, the Department has developed an innovative and creative alternative approach to address these challenges systematically. This approach, strongly supported by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo), proposes the creation of universal service-based CSAs to replace many of the existing geographic-based CSAs. Additional information regarding this new approach will be presented to the Board for further consideration and direction - action requested - PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF. (Public Works) 4.08 Update of County Drought Resilience Plan - On September 23, 2021 Governor Newsom signed into law SB 552 (Hertzberg), which assigned new responsibilities and requirements for the State of California (State) and local agencies to help small water suppliers and rural communities reduce their risks of inadequate water supply amid a water shortage event. SB 552 specifically requires all counties to improve drought and water shortage preparedness for state small water systems and domestic wells within a county's jurisdiction by 1) establishing a standing Drought and Water Shortage Task Force (Task Force) and 2) developing a County Drought Resilience Plan (County DRP). The existing Butte County Drought Preparedness and Mitigation Plan was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in October 2004 (2004 Drought Plan). However, the 2004 Drought Plan established a Drought Task Force that includes 12 members representing various County Departments and other local agencies, and thus the County met the state requirement to establish a Task Force by January 1, 2022. The 2004 Drought Plan needs to be updated to comply with SB 552 by incorporating the required drought and water shortage risk assessment, identify short and long-term response actions that specifically address state small water systems and domestic wells, and incorporate other implementation considerations. In addition, the preparation of the County DRP would also reflect other current laws, programs, and activities being conducted by County departments and other local agencies (i.e., GSAs). DWR offers a County Drought Resilience Planning Assistance Program, that would provide direct technical assistance (DTA) to support the County's planning efforts. The DTA program is administered through DWR and implemented through a consulting firm. DTA services would include the administration and project management of the preparation of the County DRP, in coordination with Water and Resource Conservation Department staff. Anticipated DTA services would include facilitation support services for the Drought Task Force and associated subcommittee meetings, assistance with preparation of County DRP plan in compliance with state requirements, and development of a communication and engagement framework - action requested - AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF WATER AND RESOURCE CONSERVATION TO PARTICIPATE IN DROUGHT TECHNICAL SERVICES FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE COUNTY DROUGHT RESILIENCE PLAN. (Water & Resource Conservation) 4.09 Subrecipient Agreements with South Feather Water and Power Agency for the Use of American Rescue Plan Act Funds and Urban & Multi-Benefit Drought Relief Funds for Construction of Segments of the Palermo Clean Water Consolidation Project - In September 2021, the County of Butte and South Feather Water and Power Agency (SFWPA) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to partner in pursuing funding for and implementation of the Palermo Clean Water Consolidation Project to connect 380 parcels in the Palermo community to the SFWPA water system. In October 12, 2021, the Board of Supervisors committed $3 million of one-time American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to the Palermo Clean Water Consolidation Project. In addition to the ARPA funds, the County has applied to the State Water Resources Control Board's Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) for $11.4 million that would be used to complete the remaining Phases and all 380 parcels. The DWSRF this application is currently being reviewed and processed by the state. The Department additionally secured $525,000 in DWR Urban and Multi-Benefit Drought Relief (UMDR) Program funds and entered into an agreement with the Sierra Institute to receive these funds. During the drought disaster, approximately 12 parcels in the Palermo community experienced dry wells and participated in the Butte County water hauling program. These parcels are located in the northeastern and southeastern areas of the Palermo Clean Water Consolidation Project boundaries. These residences are at risk of not having water if dry well conditions persist. The Department recommend entering into two subrecipient agreements with SFWPA: 1) A subrecipient agreement to use ARPA funds to procure a contractor for the construction of water conveyance infrastructure to the dry well areas. The term of the contract would begin upon execution of the agreement and ends September 30, 2025 with payment not-to-exceed $2,525,091; and 2) A subrecipient agreement to use UMDR funds to obtain a consultant for construction management services. The term of the contract would begin upon execution of the agreement and would end September 30, 2025, with payment not-to-exceed $475,000 - action requested - APPROVE SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENTS AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Water & Resource Conservation) 4.10 Intergovernmental Subrecipient Agreement for Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Infrastructure Program Funds with the Sewerage Commission- Oroville Region (SC-OR) - The Department of Housing and Urban Development allocated $1 billion in CDBG-DR funding related to FEMA Major Disaster Declarations DR-4382 from July to September 2018 and DR-4407 in November 2018. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is the grantee for the CDBG-DR funds. HCD allocated $317,428,488 of the CDBG-DR funding to the Disaster Recovery Infrastructure Program (DR- Infrastructure). HCD allocated Butte County $72,722,679 for DR-Infrastructure projects. On October 25, 2022 the Butte County Board of Supervisors approved Resolution No 22-155 establishing funding priorities which included the SC-OR plant upgrade and expansion project. On March 12, 2023 the Board approved an Intergovernmental Subrecipient Agreement with SC-OR for grant administration and project set-up costs not to exceed $220,000. Given the time necessary to develop the infrastructure project for application to HCD, no funds were expended in the initial contract and it was terminated in January of 2024. Staff has prepared an Intergovernmental Subrecipient Agreement with SC-OR for the entirety of the project including grant administration, and plant upgrade and expansion costs not to exceed $10,394,613, the amount of DR-Infrastructure funds the Board committed to this project.

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.
