3.1.b Contract Amendment with CivicPlus for Agenda Management Software
On October 3, 2023, the County entered into a contract with CivicPlus for software
services for creating and managing meeting agendas, minutes, data archives, and
livestream services. Due to increased operational costs, CivicPlus has increased the rate
of their software solutions by 18% for the next year and 5% for each subsequent year.
Staff recommend amending the contract with CivicPlus for agenda management software,
extending the term of the contract by one year through October 3, 2026, increasing the

County Administration, Emergency Management Division receives annual grant funding
through the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP). The FY 2025/26 adopted budget
includes $61,295 for the purchase of an Infrared Spectrometer for Butte County Fire. The
actual cost of the Infrared Spectrometer is higher than originally anticipated. County
Administration, along with Butte County Fire, recommend shifting $21,555 planned for use
on radios for the Fire Department to be used instead for the Infrared Spectrometer.
Sufficient grant funding is available. The Departments recommend an increase to capital
asset authority for the Infrared Spectrometer of $21,555 and an elimination of the capital
asset authority for radios for the Fire Department in the County Administration
budget. (COUNTY ADMINISTRATION)
Action Requested - APPROVE THE INCREASE OF $21,555 IN CAPITAL ASSET
AUTHORITY FOR THE PURCHASE OF AN INFRARED SPECTROMETER AND

3.1.d Contract with Tidal Basin for the EOC Capacity Building and Planning Project
On May 14, 2024, the Board of Supervisors authorized submission of an application for
CDBG Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Mitigation funds for the EOC Capacity Building and
Planning Project. The mitigation funds are available to the County as a result of the 2018
Camp Fire to reduce risk through planning and public services. The County was awarded
$271,961 for the EOC Capacity Building and Planning Project to enhance the operational
effectiveness and resilience of the County’s EOC through targeted capacity-building and
strategic planning initiatives. The project is intended to strengthen the County's
preparedness, coordination, and response capabilities during emergency and disaster
incidents.
On July 7, 2025, County Administration published an RFP for the EOC Capacity Building
and Planning Project. Seven proposals were received from qualified firms nationwide.
Following the competitive evaluation process, Tidal Basin of Alexandria, VA, was identified
as the most qualified. Staff recommend the Board approve a contract with Tidal Basin for
the EOC Capacity Building and Planning Project. The term of the contract is from January
13, 2026, through June 30, 2028, not-to-exceed $202,923. (COUNTY ADMINISTRATION)
Page 3
Action Requested - APPROVE CONTRACT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.
3.1.e Ratify Budget Amendment for Equipment Replacement Funds
On December 16, 2025, the Board of Supervisors approved the creation of new
Equipment Replacement Funds for ten County departments to align with current
accounting guidelines. The Board also approved a budget amendment to establish
appropriations in the new funds and authorized staff to take necessary steps to close the
old special revenue funds at the end of the current fiscal year. Staff identified that the
approved amendment did not account for purchases already completed this year. A
technical correction was applied to reflect available balances without affecting the creation
of the new funds or previously approved purchases. Staff recommends ratification of the
edited budget amendment. (COUNTY ADMINISTRATION)
Action Requested - RATIFY BUDGET AMENDMENT.
3.1.f Resolution Accepting the Butte County Consolidated Development Impact Fee Report for
Fiscal Year 2024-25 (Report) and Make Required Five-Year Findings
Pursuant to California Government Code section 66006(b), the Butte County Consolidated
Development Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year 2024-25 has been available for Board of
Supervisors and public review in the Office of the Clerk of the Board. The Report includes
information about County and Special District development impact fee funds and provides
the basis for the required five-year findings.
California Government Code section 66001(d) sets forth the requirements of findings the
Board of Supervisors must make in the fifth year following the first deposit into a fund and
every fifth year thereafter regarding the unexpended balance in the respective fund.
Department Heads and Special District Managers are responsible for the five-year findings
for the Development Impact Fee funds. (COUNTY ADMINISTRATION)
Action Requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.
3.2. Department of Employment & Social Services
3.2.a Contract Amendment with Enloe Medical Center for Home Healthcare Services and
Medical Supplies and Equipment
The County Medical Services Program (CMSP) was launched in January 1983 to provide
healthcare services to low-income adults in California counties. Through the Local
Indigent Care Needs Program (LICN), the CMSP Governing Board aims to enhance the
availability of locally managed healthcare services for uninsured and under-insured adults
who lack access to health, behavioral health, and related support services in CMSP areas.
LICN Program funds were awarded to the Department of Employment and Social Services
to support the Medical Respite Program and, as approved by the Board of Supervisors on
September 20, 2022, funding was then subcontracted to Enloe Medical Center to provide
services related to the program. Enloe Medical Center provides home healthcare services,
medical supplies, and equipment. During fiscal year 2024-25, a total of 115 individuals
were served through the Medical Respite Program.
The Department recommends the Board approve an amendment to the contract with
Enloe Medical Center for home healthcare services and medical supplies and equipment.
Page 4
The original contract was approved by the Board on December 13, 2022. The amendment
updates the service description from Medical Support Services to Medical Healthcare
Services and increases the maximum payable amount by $85,001, for a total contract
amount not-to-exceed $381,947. All other terms remain the same. (DEPARTMENT OF
EMPLOYMENT & SOCIAL SERVICES)
Action Requested - APPROVE CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE
CHAIR TO SIGN.
3.2.b Capital Asset Purchase and Budget Amendment for Furniture Cubicles
The Department of Employment and Social Services has identified the need to purchase
new modular furniture cubicles. The cubicles are needed at the Department's building at
765 East Avenue, Chico to reconfigure an existing conference room into a shared office to
accommodate the relocation of staff to support the needs of the department. With a
reduction in staff, this allows for more collaboration and cross-training across the various
programs within the department.
The Department recommends approval of the purchase of five modular furniture cubicles
including installation, and a budget amendment of $48,000 to move existing
appropriations within the Department's budget. (DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT &
SOCIAL SERVICES)
Action Requested - 1) APPROVE CAPITAL ASSET PURCHASE; AND 2) APPROVE
BUDGET AMENDMENT.
3.3. Department of General Services

Construction, Inc., of Chico, for tenant improvements at 254 Cohasset Road, Chico, in the
amount of $1,622,202, funded by the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program
grant. The Department of General Services previously executed ten change orders
totaling $868,781 to address mold abatement and unforeseen construction conditions.
Change Order 11, in the amount of $19,113, provides for repairs to an existing HVAC unit;
replacement of data connection plates and jacks; and installation of a cabinet, counter,
and sink area required due to wall modifications during mold remediation. Change Order

and installation of door hardware not shown on the plans. Change Order 14, in the amount
of $45,279, provides for installation of a weatherproofing seal and additional flashing along
the roof edge after the absence of flashing was identified during the roof overlay. The
Department recommends the Board ratify Change Orders 11 through 13, previously
executed by the Department, and approve Change Order 14, for a revised total project
amount of $2,603,500. The total project budget remains unchanged. All other terms and
conditions of the contract remain unchanged. (DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES)

The Department of Human Resources has prepared an updated Salary Ordinance. The
ordinance includes details on allocated positions and the salary plans for classified
positions, elected and appointed officials, and members of the Board of Supervisors. A
new salary ordinance is typically adopted once per year and is then amended with

consisted of removing storm drain facilities and asphalt damaged by the North Complex

was $5,772,015. Four contract change orders were executed, resulting in a contract
decrease of $98,635. The total cost of work is $5,673,379. All contract work has been
completed per the project plans and specifications.
The Department of Public Works recommends that the Board accept the work as

5. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND TIMED ITEMS
5.1 10:00 am - Public Hearing - Annual Public Hearing on Workforce Vacancies and
Recruitment and Retention Efforts in Compliance with Assembly Bill (AB) 2561
AB 2561 requires public agencies to hold at least one public hearing per fiscal year to
discuss vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts. This public hearing must be held
prior to the adoption of the final budget each fiscal year. AB 2561 was introduced to
address the issue of job vacancies in local government and the impacts on services being
provided. Among other requirements, the bill mandates that public agencies present the
status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts during a public hearing before
the agency’s governing body at least once per fiscal year. The bill was enacted into law
and is codified in Government Code Section 3502.3. (DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN
RESOURCES)
Action Requested - ACCEPT FOR INFORMATION.
5.2 10:15 am - Timed Item - Discussions on the 2026 State and Federal Legislative Platforms
and Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2027 County Priority Projects for Federal Community
Project Funding (CPF)
Each year, the Board of Supervisors considers and adopts platforms establishing priorities
with regard to State and federal legislation. These platforms provide a basis for advocacy
throughout the year. The draft 2026 platforms were prepared in consultation with the
Board, Department Heads, and assistance from the County's State and federal
consultants. The documents continue to address issues such as public safety, health and
human services, water, public infrastructure, local government finances, and general
government.
Paul Yoder of Shaw Yoder Antwih Schmelzer and Lange will discuss the State platform
and provide updates regarding current legislative activities at the State level. Chris Griffin
of The Ferguson Group will discuss the federal platform and legislative activities at the
federal level, including the CPF process, previously referred to as earmarks. CPF provides
direct funding for local priority projects through the annual federal appropriations bills.
Since the program's establishment in FFY 2022, Butte County has received funding for the
Veterans Memorial Park for all of Butte County in Oroville (FFY 2022); the Cohasset Road
Page 8
Widening and Fire Safety Project and the Palermo Drinking Water Project (FFY 2023),
and four projects in FFY 2024, including a Type I Fire Engine, Public Safety
Communications, Lumpkin Road Rehabilitation and Roadside Vegetation Management.
Because Congress could not reach final agreement on the FFY 2025 appropriations bills,
it funded the government through a year-long continuing resolution that expired
September 2025. As a result, Congress did not make CPF awards for FFY 2025. A CPF
request for the County's EOC Technology Refresh project ($130,000) is pending in FFY
2026 Homeland Security appropriations bill in the House. However, the bill must be
passed and signed into law before the County can expect to receive funds. As the FFY
2027 CPF process is expected to begin in early 2026, Mr. Griffin recommends the County
update its priority project list so it is positioned to work with the federal delegation as the
process begins.
Staff recommends the Board approve the draft 2026 State and Federal Legislative
Platforms, or provide direction on changes to be brought back at the second Board
meeting in January. Additionally, staff recommend the Board approve the priority projects,
or provide direction on necessary adjustments, and direct staff to work with The Ferguson
Group and the County's federal delegation to pursue funding for the projects that best
align with legislators' priorities or grant opportunities. (COUNTY ADMINISTRATION)
Action Requested - 1) APPROVE 2026 STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE
PLATFORMS OR PROVIDE DIRECTION TO STAFF; 2) PROVIDE DIRECTION TO
STAFF TO SEEK FUNDING FOR IDENTIFIED PROJECTS AND SEND LETTERS OF
SUPPORT SIGNED BY THE CHAIR AS NEEDED.

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

hearing.
