In order for the Butte County Operational Area to apply for grant funds from the California Office of Emergency Services, the Board of Supervisors must adopt a resolution authorizing the Emergency Services Officer to apply. The resolution would also authorize the Chief Administrative Officer, Assistant Chief Administrative Officer, Deputy Chief Administrative Officers, and the Emergency Services Officer to sign grant documents. The Butte County Operational Area has been allocated $92,284 by the California Office of Emergency Services through the FY 2020 Emergency Management Performance Grant Program Supplemental to support activities that contribute to the mitigation, prevention, preparation, response, and recovery from COVID-19. County Administration recommends approval of a budget adjustment to recognize $92,248 in unanticipated grant revenue and increase appropriations to support eligible grant activities.

On January 29, 2019, the Board of Supervisors directed staff to implement a fee waiver program contingent upon availability of a non-County revenue source to backfill waived fees. The NVCF provided a grant to the County to establish the Camp Fire Rebuild Incentive Program, which offers partial reimbursement (50% maximum, up to $3,500) of permit fees paid by eligible Camp Fire survivors who choose to rebuild a home in the communities substantially impacted by the Camp Fire. The NVCF grant provided up to $500,000 for the program through February 28, 2021 or until funds are exhausted. The NVCF provided a grant for a similar program to the Town of Paradise. The County program expended a total of $278,356 for 161 applicants as of August 10, 2020. The current grant agreement limits the eligibility to single-family homeowners rebuilding a primary residence. The proposed amendment expands eligibility to include reimbursement of permit fees for master planned residences, garages, and multiple dwellings in order to address the housing needs of the community. Reimbursement for permit fees for master planned residences and garages associated with a manufacture home will be 100% of the permit fees up to $3,500. Reimbursement for permit fees for multiple dwellings, 2 or more units per parcel, will be 50% of the permit fees up to $10,000 and a $2,500 per unit maximum. Priority is given to property owners who are replacing primary residences. (Development Services)

The Camp Fire left wildfire residue in and around numerous County buildings that exceed defined thresholds for air quality and cleanliness.

The County now needs to finalize all cleaning efforts within the remaining 11 facilities. The Department of General Services recommends entering into a contract with Cleanrite-Buildrite, a firm specializing in disaster restoration, for smoke residue cleaning services. The term of the contract is 60 days from the notice to proceed, not-to-exceed $146,027. (General Services)
