programs administered by the Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD): Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships Grant (HOME). As an
entitlement grantee, the City's receipt of funds is contingent upon City compliance with a variety of
planning and administrative requirements. One of the requirements is the submission of a “Consolidated
Plan” every five years, including the first Annual Plan for 2015-2016 and a review of the Citizen
Participation Plan. (Report: Marie Demers, Housing Manager)
Recommendation: The Community Development Director recommends that the City Council: 1) Hold

REGULAR AGENDA
4.1.
CONSIDERATION OF JAIL IMPACT FEE REQUEST FROM THE COUNTY OF BUTTE
Butte County is requesting the City of Chico collect the County’s existing Jail Facilities Impact Fee within
the City’s jurisdictional boundaries. The fee would be levied on new residential construction, with limited
exemptions, and the revenue collected would support a project expanding the housing capacity of the
county jail. This proposed agreement would only go into effect once similar agreements have been
executed by each municipality within the County. The Agreement would have a ten year-term with
termination permitted earlier with written notice, if the county increases the fee without the City’s written
consent. The City Council heard a presentation from Sheriff Honea at the meeting of March 17, 2015.
(Report – Mark Orme, City Manager)
Recommendation – Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement regarding collection of
development impact fees for jail facilities within the incorporated area of the City of Chico.
4.2.
FISCAL YEAR 2015-16 DRAFT PROPOSED BUDGET WORKSHOP
A workshop will be held at this meeting regarding the Fiscal Year 2015-16 Draft Proposed Budget which
Council received at its meeting of April 7, 2015. This workshop is intended to: (1) allow Department
Directors discuss how the Draft Proposed Budget impacts their operations; (2) allow Council to discuss
and clarify operational priorities including directing the City Manager to make budgetary adjustments;
and (3) provides citizens with an additional opportunity to provide input on the proposed budget and its
impact to the community. (Report – Frank Fields, Administrative Services Director)
Recommendation – No action required. Direction can be provided.
