3.01* Fiscal Year (FY) 2015-16 Amendment to Exotic Pest Detection Agreement - The Agriculture Department recommends an addendum to the FY 2015-16 Exotic Pest Detection Trapping contract with the State of California, a contract that has been in place for over 25 years. The contract is for placing and servicing traps for the detection of exotic pests, which are considered hazardous to agriculture and to the economy of California. Those insects may include, but are not limited to, Mediterranean Fruit Fly, Oriental Fruit Fly, Melon Fly, Gypsy Moth, Japanese Beetle, and other invasive exotic pests. The amendment adds $7,003 to the existing contract, increasing the maximum amount to $63,322, and will include trap deployment and servicing for the Asian Defoliating Moth and the Asian Citrus Psyllid. The term remains November 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. The State of California, upon submittal of a monthly invoice, reimburses Butte County - action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Agriculture)
3.02* Proposed Wildlife Services Work Plan for FY 2016-17 - The County has an on-going cooperative agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service-Wildlife Services (APHIS-WS). Through the agreement, the USDA provides non-domestic animal control services for depredating wild animals such as trapping skunks and raccoons. The USDA's Wildlife Specialist addresses the loss of livestock, wildlife rabies, and prevention of property damage associated with predatory animals. Butte County will provide for approximately 63% of the total cost of the program by reimbursing the USDA in an amount not to exceed $69,472. APHIS-WS will provide staff, supervision, administration, and equipment needed to carry out the program. The term of the agreement is July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017 - action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Agriculture)
3.03* Agreement with Gerald E. Maguire, M.D. - Gerald E. Maguire, MD is a licensed medical doctor who provides services in the specialized field of psychiatry as required for adult clients at the Butte County Department of Behavioral Health Paradise Treatment Center. Approval is requested for an agreement with Dr. Maguire for the provision of psychiatric services. The term of this agreement is July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. The maximum financial obligation under this agreement shall not exceed $48,000 - action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Behavioral Health)
3.04* Agreement with Thomas Lancaster M.D. - Thomas Lancaster is a licensed medical doctor who provides services in the specialized field of psychiatry as required for adult clients at the Butte County Department of Behavioral Health outpatient centers. Dr. Lancaster also participates in after-hours and on-call shifts on a rotating schedule at the Psychiatric Health Facility. Approval is requested for an agreement with Dr. Lancaster for the provision of psychiatric services. The term of this agreement is July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. The maximum financial obligation under this agreement shall not exceed $380,200 - action requested - APPROVE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Behavioral Health)
3.05* Resolution Increasing the County Clerk-Recorder Change Funds - The County Clerk-Recorder requests approval of a resolution increasing the Department's change funds from $700 to $1,050. The current level of change funds in the Hall of Records is insufficient for the daily volume of cash transactions. The action would also increase total cash drawers from five to six to better meet operational needs. The Auditor-Controller supports the requested increase - action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Clerk- Recorder)
3.06* Continuation of Local Drought Proclamation - On July 22, 2015, the Chief Administrative Officer declared a local emergency caused by drought, which was proclaimed by the Governor on January 17, 2014. On July 28, 2015, the Board of Supervisors reaffirmed and ratified the proclamation of local emergency associated with drought. State law requires that the Board of Supervisors review the need for continuing the local emergency every 30 days. As the State continues through its fifth year of drought, Butte County is feeling the effects as there continue to be landowners with dry wells. At this point, the final duration of the emergency has not yet been determined - action requested - CONFIRM THE NEED FOR CONTINUING THE PROCLAMATION OF A LOCAL EMERGENCY; AND ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration)
3.07* Approval of Minutes - action requested - APPROVE MINUTES OF APRIL 12, 2016 AND FEBRUARY 23, 2016. (County Administration)
3.08* Resolution in Honor of Public Service Recognition Week - Public Service Recognition Week has been celebrated the first full week in May since 1985. The Chief Administrative Officer requests the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution recognizing County employees for their dedication to providing important services that are an integral part of improving the quality of life for our residents. As part of public service recognition, the County is launching an initiative through its Leadership Academy to highlight the work of individual employees. The initiative will include a series of employee profiles to showcase employees throughout the County and to recognize the tremendous work they do to serve residents. The first employee profiles will be presented during the Budget Hearing at the June 28, 2016 Board of Supervisors meeting - action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration)
3.09* Resolution Recognizing May 2016 as Building Safety Month and Amnesty Program for May and June 2016 - Building Safety Month (May 2016) and the Permit Amnesty Program (May 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016) are aimed at protecting public health, home/business owner's safety, and the environment by encouraging property owners to complete the County's permit process. These efforts are designed to ensure construction meets acceptable standards and to educate the public about building codes through outreach activities. The Amnesty Program provides property and business owners the opportunity to apply for permits for buildings, additions, and remodels not previously permitted with the following assistance: the 60% investigative building permit penalty fees would not be imposed; and a staff member will be assigned to assist the property owners through the application process. Compliance with the building permit process can assist property owners who may have their properties on the market where the sale may be jeopardized due to unpermitted work. Residential, industrial, and commercial unpermitted construction work or unpermitted commercial occupancies are eligible for the Amnesty Program - action requested - ADOPT RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN; AND APPROVE A BUILDING PERMIT AMNESTY PROGRAM FOR MAY 1, 2016 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2016 IN WHICH THE 60% PENALTY FEE WOULD NOT BE IMPOSED ON ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS.
