3.02 Letter of Opposition for SB 1057 (Menjivar) Juvenile Justice Coordinating Councils - SB 1057
proposes to make considerable changes to local Juvenile Justice Coordinating Councils (JJCC),
as well as the process for the JJCC’s deployment of Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act
(JJCPA) funds. These funds were realigned to counties in 2011 and serve as the bedrock of
virtually all counties’ juvenile justice systems. Notably, with the passage of SB 823 in 2020,
counties now bear full responsibility for the entire juvenile justice system at the local level. SB
1057, at its core, reduces probation's authority over its duties and responsibilities with the
intent to divert funding away from local government. SB 1057 would create unnecessary
financial instability and would compromise the ability of Probation to effectively service at-risk
youth. Staff recommends approval of a letter of opposition for SB 1057 - action requested -
APPROVE LETTER OF OPPOSITION. (County Administration)

3.03 Ratify Letter of Opposition for AB 2557 (Ortega) - Local Agencies: Contracts for Special Services
and Temporary Help: Performance Reports - This measure would put in place a burdensome
process for local agencies to contract for services, including services for temporary help, by
requiring onerous contractor reporting obligations and audits, and by making contractors’
employee data public. The bill is likely to disincentivize contractors from doing business with
counties as well as increasing costs and causing delays. Like other local agencies, Butte County
utilizes contractors to provide a variety of local programs and services for residents. This ranges
broadly from numerous partnerships with local nonprofit agencies to provide various
community-based health and human services, including homelessness services, as well as
temporary employee contracts to provide psychiatric treatment. Additionally, Butte County, in
response to natural disasters including the deadly Camp Fire and North Complex Fire – two of
the most destructive fires in state history – knows first hand the importance of being able to
utilize contracts in the response to a disaster. Given the time sensitive nature of this legislation
which is scheduled to be heard by the Senate Local Government Committee on June 11, there
was no time to wait until the June 11, 2024 Board of Supervisors meeting. Staff recommends
the Board ratify the letter - action requested - RATIFY LETTER OF OPPOSITION. (County
Administration)
3.04 Project Closeout for Olive Ranch Senior Apartments Funded by Community Development Block
Grant Disaster Recovery Multifamily Housing Program Funding (CDBG-DRMHP) - In 2021, Butte
County received an allocation of $61,361,926 in CDBG-DRMHP funding from the State
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for construction-related costs for
affordable housing projects to support Camp Fire recovery. On January 26, 2021, the Board of
Supervisors adopted a resolution to accept the allocation, and on August 24, 2021 the Master
Standard Agreement (MSA) with HCD was executed. HCD then increased Butte County's CDBG-
DRMHP allocation to $71,185,473 due to over-subscription of the county's program. To accept
the increase, the Board adopted a new resolution on July 26, 2022. The MSA was then
amended on December 18, 2023 to increase the allocation amount, and amended again on
January 11, 2024 to modify exhibits, budget details, and payment provisions. Through a
competitive Request for Proposals Butte County awarded the Olive Ranch Senior Apartments
$1,795,000 in CDBG-DRMHP funds to K2 Development. A Notice to Proceed (NTP) was issued
for the project by HCD on March 11, 2022. The City of Oroville issued a Certificate of Occupancy
for Olive Ranch Senior Apartments on May 24, 2024. All project milestones required by the
MSA and NTP and corresponding amendments have been met or exceeded. Project Closeout
requires a resolution by the Board of Supervisors documenting project completion in order to
evidence compliance of Butte County's obligations as required by the MSA and NTP and all
amendments thereto. If adopted, submission of this resolution to HCD along with the final
financial report for reimbursement will allow the County to secure the final 10% of the project
award to reimburse the developer and associated County grant administration costs. The
Department recommends the Board adopt the resolution and authorize the Chair to sign -

under the Planning and Project Design program, seeks funding to develop site-specific design
for a critically needed water diversion facility upgrade adjacent to the Thermalito Afterbay.
The second application, submitted under the Environmental Water Resources Project
program, seeks funding for the construction of the diversion and headgate structure. This
project is consistent with the Department's mission to work cooperatively with water agencies
to enhance the County's water supply through creative water management practices, including
helping to ensure resiliency of water supplies and related infrastructure. This project is also

Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP), specifically the system modernization projects that
would increase water supply and supply reliability and delivery flexibility. Due to the urgency
of the request, which preceded the next scheduled Board meeting, staff verified the project's

4.11 Delinquent Unsecured Tax Discharge of Accountability - The Treasurer-Tax Collector requests
a discharge of accountability from collection efforts on delinquent and unsecured accounts on
the property tax roll that are ten years or older and considered uncollectible. This category of
property taxes includes boats, airplanes, businesses, mobile homes, mining claims, etc. For
these accounts, liens have been in place for ten years, but have expired. For many of these
assets, property has changed ownership and existing collections efforts by staff and a third-
party collection agency have been exhausted. Under the provisions of Revenue & Taxation
Code Section 2923, the Tax Collector may request from the Board of Supervisors a discharge
from accountability for the collection of taxes, penalty, interest, and any other related charge
if the amount is so small as to not justify the cost of collection or if collection enforcement is
impractical. The discharge of accountability would allow accounts to be deactivated and
remove the total due from the delinquent unsecured tax roll. This action would not relieve the
taxpayer from the responsibility of paying the bill, but Treasurer-Tax Collector's Office would
no longer actively pursue the accounts. The delinquent unsecured tax roll currently contains
3,329 tax accounts from 2012 and prior that are uncollectible. The accounts on the discharge
list represent $2,028,303 in delinquent unsecured taxes, penalties and interest. The last
discharge of accountability was completed in June 2018 - action requested - APPROVE
REQUEST FOR DISCHARGE FROM ACCOUNTABILITY. (Treasurer-Tax Collector)

5.01 10:00 am - Timed Item - Report from Team CivX and FM3 on Public Opinion Polling and
Outreach - Butte County revenues do not keep up with the costs to provide essential County
services including fire protection, Sheriff and jail operations and library services. Additionally,
the State often solves its problems by passing costs along to Counties without matching
revenue. The result is decades of County budgets cuts. During the Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget
hearings, when the closure of fire stations and libraries was proposed, members of the public
urged the Board of Supervisors to consider a revenue measure in order to maintain services.
The County contracted with Team CivX and FM3 to do research, polling, messaging, and
development of a potential ballot measure. The County has hosted a variety of community
meetings and released a community survey, prepared by Team CivX, to solicit input from the
community on funding priorities. Additionally, FM3 has recently completed the second round
of statistically valid polling. Team CivX and FM3 will report on the results of these efforts. Based
on the findings, staff recommends the Board direct staff to initiate the process to place a 1
cent sales tax measure on the ballot for the November 5, 2024 election - action requested -

August 25, 2020, the Board of Supervisors authorized a resolution approving an application to
the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) seeking CDBG
funding for technical and financial assistance for eligible micro-enterprises in the
unincorporated area and non-entitlement communities of Gridley, Biggs, and Oroville. On June
25, 2021 HCD executed a Standard Agreement with Butte County authorizing $250,000 for a
Micro-Enterprise Loan Program. The County entered into two contracts for program
administration: (1) 3CORE for financial assistance and loan administration, and (2) the Small
Business Development Center (SBDC) for technical assistance. Program goals were met and
exceeded using all grant funds to provide seven eligible micro-enterprises with business loans,
and over 32 eligible micro-enterprises with technical assistance. While the grant has ended
3CORE and SBDC will continue to provide business assistance to local businesses. Upon grant
closeout, Butte County is required to collect and report information on program activities, as
well as hold a public hearing before the Board of Supervisors and the public to discuss the
accomplishments of each grant. Staff recommends the Board hear public comment regarding
the accomplishments of the grant, adopt the resolution, and authorize the Chair to sign - action

5.04 11:05 am - Public Hearing - Project Closeout for the Park Avenue Multifamily Housing Project
Funded by Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Multifamily Housing
Program Funding (CDBG-DRMHP) - The California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) has made $66,787,799 in allocations available in 2018 Community
Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding to support the Multifamily
Housing Program. This funding is in response to the State of California's unmet recovery needs
related to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Major Disaster Declarations
DR-4344 in October 2017 and DR-4353 in December 2017. The Butte County 2018 CDBG-DR
Multifamily Housing Program allocation is $679,013. On September 29, 2020, the Board of
Supervisors adopted a resolution authorizing the allocation of funding and the execution of a
Master Standard Agreement with HCD to facilitate the development of multifamily housing
(rehabilitation, reconstruction, or new construction), pursuant to the Disaster Recovery
Multifamily Housing Program (DR-MHP) Policies and Procedures. On August 26, 2021, HCD and
the County of Butte executed a notice to proceed for the Park Avenue project in the City of
Chico utilizing the full allocation. The project was also partially funded by the City of Chico. On
May 22, 2024, the project received its certificate of occupancy from the City of Chico, and
County Administration staff are preparing for close-out. Project close-out requires a resolution
by the Board of Supervisors documenting project completion in order to evidence compliance
of Butte County's obligations as required by the MSA and NTP and all amendments thereto. If
adopted, submission of this resolution to HCD along with the final financial report for
reimbursement will allow the County to secure the final 10% of the project award to reimburse
the developer and associated County grant administration costs. The Department
recommends the Board adopt the resolution and authorize the Chair to sign - action requested

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.

hearing.
