3.01 Resolution Authorizing the Assessor to Apply for the State Supplementation for County Assessors' Program (SSCAP) - SSCAP was created to provide funding to assist County Assessors in performing property assessments. Program funds are available for technological improvements and require a local match at the rate of one local dollar for every two dollars the County receives in program funds. The Butte County Assessor recommends applying for $150,000 in SSCAP funding for Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-19 to support the transition to Geographic Information Systems mapping in the Assessor's Office. County matching funds are available in the Adopted Budget and include $65,000 in Recorder System Funds, and $10,000 in the Assessor's Office budget. (Assessor)
3.02 Budget Adjustment for Rebudgeted Contracts and Purchase Orders - The Department of Behavioral Health recommends a rebudget of $2,376,919 to pay for contracts or purchase orders in FY 2018-19. (Behavioral Health)
3.03 Contract with Merritt Hawkins for Psychiatrist Recruitment Services - Merritt Hawkins is a physician-recruiting firm that specializes in recruiting and placing physicians in permanent positions. The Department of Behavioral Health recommends entering into a contract with Merritt Hawkins for psychiatrist recruitment services for the Medical Director position. The term of the contract is the date of execution through June 30, 2019, not-to-exceed $41,000. (Behavioral Health)
3.04 Resolution Approving Submission of an Application for the Homeless Mentally Ill Outreach and Treatment (HMIOT) Grant - The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) has made available approximately $50 million for HMIOT. HMIOT will provide one-time funding for counties to assist individuals with serious mental illness who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. If awarded, the Department of Behavioral Health would receive $554,000 in grant funds. The Department recommends adopting a resolution approving submission of an application for the HMIOT grant, authorizing the Department to sign the application, and designating the Director of Behavioral Health as the single point of contact for DHCS and the HMIOT allocation. (Behavioral Health)
3.05 Contract Amendment with Cell Staff, LLC (Cell Staff) for Locum Nursing Services - Cell Staff is a recruiting agency that provides medical and mental health practitioners including nurses and therapists for placement at hospitals and clinics on a short-term basis. Due to the shortage and frequent turnover of these clinical positions, the Department of Behavioral Health utilizes recruiting agencies on an as-needed basis. This contract allows placement of short-term therapists within the County's inpatient psychiatric health facility. The Department recommends amending the contract with Cell Staff to cover projected expenses for FY 2018-19 for medical and mental health practitioners, including nurses and therapists. The amendment increases the maximum payable amount by $100,000, not-to-exceed $301,000. All other terms remain the same. (Behavioral Health)
3.06 Agreement Amendment with Restpadd Red Bluff PHF (Restpadd) for Inpatient Hospitalizations Restpadd operates a licensed 16-bed acute care psychiatric inpatient treatment facility, serving both youth and adults. Restpadd provides multi-disciplinary evaluation, treatment, rapid stabilization, and coordinated discharge planning that encourages wellness and recovery. The Department of Behavioral Health recommends amending the agreement with Restpadd to cover an unanticipated increase in client placements. The amendment increases the maximum payable amount by $86,920, not-to-exceed $235,320. All other terms remain the same. (Behavioral Health)
3.07 Approval of Minutes for Board of Supervisors Meeting - Submitted for approval are the minutes for the August 14, 2018 Board of Supervisors regular meeting. (County Administration)
3.08 Distribution of Excess Proceeds from the Sale of Tax-Defaulted Property - Amended Recommendation - In June 2016, the Treasurer-Tax Collector sold various parcels of tax-defaulted property, and claims for excess proceeds were reviewed by the County Counsel's Office and approved by the Board of Supervisors on October 24, 2017. In January 2018, the County discovered that one timely claim was received but misplaced and not considered for review as part of the claims review process. In response, the County Counsel's Office suspended payment on the parcel in question (Assessor's Parcel Number 018-440-056-000; the excess proceeds total $50,372.30) and asked the two claimants for additional information given that the parcel in question was involved in a bankruptcy case. The two claimants are the Bankruptcy Estate (John Reger, Trustee) and a lien holder of record (Global Discoveries, LTD,) and they disagreed as to the effect of the bankruptcy case on their respective rights to the excess proceeds. In order to resolve the two competing claims and avoid litigation, the claimants agreed to enter into a settlement agreement for consideration by the bankruptcy court through which the excess proceeds will be paid to the Bankruptcy Estate. The Estate will retain $7,500 and then pay $42,872.30 to the lien holder. The settlement agreement was approved by the bankruptcy court on August 1, 2018. Given the above, the County Counsel's Office recommends that the Board of Supervisors amend its original approval on October 24, 2017, as to this one parcel, and approve distribution of the excess proceeds as detailed in the settlement agreement. (County Counsel)
3.09 Real Estate Fraud Annual Report for FY 2017-18 - Pursuant to California Government Code section 27388, and Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 08-156, a fee is paid at the time of recording certain real estate documents for the purpose of providing funds for the District Attorney's Real Estate Fraud Prosecution Program which deters, investigates, and prosecutes real estate fraud. The District Attorney submits its report regarding the effectiveness of the Real Estate Fraud Investigation and Prosecution Program for FY 2017-18 to the Board of Supervisors. (District Attorney)
3.10 Budget Adjustment and Contracts with LD Strobel, Inc. and Holdrege and Kull for Construction of the Communications Tower at 479 East Park Avenue in Chico - The County is in the process of replacing the communications tower located at 479 East Park Avenue in Chico. The existing tower is essential to the County's radio communication system and cannot be repaired. Following formal solicitation, the lowest and only responsive bidder for the construction of the communications tower was Bay Area based LD Strobel, Inc. The General Services Department recommends entering into a contract with LD Strobel, Inc. for construction of the replacement tower. The term of the contract is from August 28, 2018 to 190 days following Notice to Proceed, not-to-exceed $594,738. In addition, the Department recommends entering into a contract with Chico based Holdrege and Kull to provide the County with special inspections and technical project management services during construction of the tower. The term of the Holdrege and Kull contract is from Notice to Proceed to 190 day following Notice to Proceed, not-to-exceed $24,500. The County budget estimate for the project was developed approximately three years ago and is not sufficient to complete the project. Therefore, the Department also recommends a $290,000 budget adjustment from General Fund contingencies to the Capital Project Fund so the work can be completed. (General Services)
