50 percent of California olive oil comes from Oroville. Wineries are starting to make their presence known in the area; so far there are three wineries in Oroville. Wineries are becoming popular because the climate is very similar to northern Italy.

Oroville is best known for its abun-dance of recreational opportunities. Lake Oroville, which was created via the con-struction of the Oroville Dam, is one of the recreational gems of California. With nearly 16,000 surface acres of water and 167 miles of forested shoreline, hundreds of campsites, world-class fishing, boating, sailing, fishing, picnicking, hiking, bik-ing, horseback riding, fish hatchery tours, educational exhibits, and scenery wildlife, Lake Oroville is truly the great outdoors on a Western scale. It is also the second largest reservoir in California, second only to Lake Shasta. Lake Oroville is not overly crowded, and easily accessible by several highways.

The Oroville Dam, which is the tallest and one of the largest earthen dams in the world, was completed in 1968 and stands 770 feet high with a crest 6,920 feet long. Over 80 million cubic yards of material were needed to build the Oroville Dam. A giant cavern (almost as large as the State Capitol Building) was hollowed out to hold six power genera-tion units beneath the dam. Coupled with four additional units in the Thermalito Power plant, more than 2.8 billion kilowatt-hours of power

are generated annually.

The City of Oroville is located in the Sierra Nevada Foothills within the Northern Sacramento Valley of Butte County. Chico is the nearest large City to the Northwest. Paradise is to the North and Gridley to the south of Oroville. Oroville is positioned off of Highway 70 and is in close proximity to Highway 99. The Citys population is 14,408. Oroville enjoys an emerging population of retirees and new families with an average house-hold size of 2.4 persons; seventy percent of Orovilles population is over 18 years of age (the median age is 32.6).

Butte County is located about sixty miles north of Sacramento and proclaims a strong quality of life with short commutes, vibrant downtowns areas, and unlimited outdoor activities. With a population of approximately 220,000, the county is the most populous county north of Sac-ramento. The county was rated second in the state for places to locate, listed as one of the top five places to retire by Kiplingers Personal Finance Magazine, and cited for some of the best property buys by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Additionally, Orovilles historic downtown has museums, antique stores and specialty shops. The historic Chinese Temple/Chinese Gardens is a registered California landmark. Another unique feature is that Oroville is a Mission Olive Region, the only one in the U.S. If its not from Oroville, its not Mission Olive. Roughly

CITY OFFICIAlS/CITY COUnCIl The City Council is the elected legislative body for the City of Oroville. It is composed of seven members, the Mayor plus six Council members, who are elected at large for four-year stag-gered terms. The elected Councilmember with the least votes is subject to a two year term. The Mayor is directly elected by the city voters in a separate election held at the same time as the general election. The Vice-Mayor is selected from among the six City Council members by vote of the City Council. The City of Oroville is a council-manager form of govern-

ment. The City Council ap-points a full time City Admin-istrator to implement Council policies and executive func-tions of government, which includes day-to-day opera-tions, functions and projects of the City. In establish-ing city policy, the Council works with advisory commit-tees made up of citizens ap-pointed by the Council, and receives input from the pub-lic at both regular and special meetings. The Councils busi-ness meetings are scheduled for the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month. The Council meets at 7:00 P.M. and the Redevelopment Agency Commission meets immediately following the Council Meetings. The Council Chambers are located at 1735 Montgomery St, Oroville, CA. The City Council meetings are rebroadcast on the local cable channel. Other special or study session meetings are scheduled as needed and are open to the public. The public is always invited and encouraged to attend. Members of the Council also serve on Boards, Commissions and Committees important to the City. Council members serve on the Butte County Association of Governments (BCAG), the Sewerage Commission - Oroville Region (SCOR), Lake Oroville Joint Powers Authority and may serve on the Local Agency For-mation Commission (LAFCo), Supplemental Benefits Fund (SBF). The Council has a number of Ad hoc and standing com-mittees that are designed to solve public policy. Furthermore, the City Council sits as the Commission for the Oroville Re-development Agency and Board of Directors for the Oroville Public Financing Authority. The City Council welcomes your interest in community affairs. If you wish, the Customer Service Department can assist you by explaining items on the Council agenda, or help in contacting members of the City Council (538-2535). Public Participation Often, there are public hearings at Council and Commission meetings. A public hearing is when the public can speak, com-ment, or question certain government policy items. This is a good way for the public to influence the policy decision process and outcome of the policy. Also, the City Council encourages residents to bring concerns to the public policy process. For as-sistance in participating at a City Council meeting, and/or for a copy of the Council agenda, contact Administration at (530) 538-2535. Agendas and supporting documents for all public meet-ings are electronically available by accessing the City of Oroville

CITY DePARTMenTS The Oroville City govern-ment is managed by the city administrator. The city admin-istrator manages the executive management team, called de-partment heads, which consist of the Chief of Police, Fire Chief, Director of Planning and Development, Public Works, Director of Parks and Trees, Director of Business Assistance and Housing Development and the Director of Finance Director.

The City Administrator, like the department heads, serves at the pleasure of the City Council. Oroville is a Charter City and therefore is allowed under California State Law to adopt a char-ter by popular vote of the electorate for certain provisions (which

may be different from general laws established for municipalities in the State of California). A city charter is much like a constitution giving more autonomy and authority over implementing local policies. To contact the City Administrators of-fice, please call the Administration department at (530) 538-2535, visit City Hall at 1735 Montgomery St., Oroville.

City Clerk The City Clerk functions as the Citys official recorder at all City

Council meetings. Also, the Clerks office maintains the Citys official documents and provides public access for their review by community residents.

Market Profile - HousingFront Yard landscape Improvement Program The City of Orovilles Front Yard Landscape Improvement Program has been established to improve neighborhoods by of-fering homeowners options for improving their property while doing it within their means. Oroville residents who have low income and own property within the city limits of Oroville are eligible. The Front Yard Landscape Improvement Pro-gram eligibility is restricted to single-family, owner-occupied units with individual owner-ship. The City of Oroville produced an eco-nomically sound and cost-effective strategy that awards loans to qualified residents up to $4,500, no interest, deferred repayment, with a loan term not to exceed fifteen (15) years. Self-help landscaping in which the property owner does a good portion of the work and gets materials reimbursement is highly encouraged through the program. The maximum financial assistance will be available to families making incomes that are less than 120% of the area median income.Senior/Disabled Minor Home Repair loan & emergency Repair Grant ProgramsThe City of Oroville offers assistance to low- and lower-income individuals with small, but important home repairs or accessibility modification needs to owner-occupied properties. Eligi-ble repairs include, but are not limited to: minor bathroom modifications for wheel-chair accessibility and shower handrails, entry modification, weather-stripping, replacement of cracked or broken win-dows, replacement of roofing, gutters and downspouts, repair of plumbing system, upgrade of electrical services and repair or replacement of furnaces. The maximum loan of $6,000 will be available to families with incomes that are less than 80% of the area median income. Additionally, grants are available to families that are comprised of senior and/or disabled individuals whose income is less than 80% of area median income. The maximum grant available to senior and/or disabled households is $2,000 lifetime limit for stick-built homes and $3,000 lifetime limit for mobile homes.

First-Time Home Buyers Program The City of Oroville has two first-time home buyers (FTHB) mortgage subsidy assistance programs for families earning 80% or less of the area medi-an income or 120% or less of the area median income. The FTHB program expands the availability of affordable hous-ing for income-qualified fami-lies providing affordable hous-ing opportunities that would

not otherwise be available. The home to be purchased must be located in a residentially zoned area within the city limits of Oroville. The City of Oroville FTHB program offers a mortgage subsidy assistance loan up to a maximum of $100,000 or 45% of the pur-chase price, (whichever is less) and provides a course of action for the primary financing and

purchase of that first time home (family has not owned a home within the past three years). The

loan has deferred payments for 30 years with 3% simple interest accruing. The City also offers mortgage subsidy assistance for mod-erate-income families (families making up to 120% of the Butte County Area Median Income) through the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) FTHB Program. The RDA FTHB Program of-fers a loan for mortgage subsidy assistance up to a maximum of

$25,000. Because purchasing a home can be overwhelming, especially to the first-time home buyer, the FTHB Program assists with each phase of the process to insure a successful, timely home purchase. A mortgage subsidy loan is secured by a Deed of Trust and does not require monthly payments. Re-payment of the loan will be required if the house is sold, title is transferred, or if the house is no longer the principal residence. Loans are based upon the

gross income of the family and family size. For the maximum sale price of the home, contact the Department of Business As-sistance and Housing Development,. For additional information on the above programs, contact the City of Orovilles Business Assistance and Housing Development Department at 1735 Montgomery St. Oroville, CA 95965, 530-538-2495.

Home ownership is obtainable in Oroville.

Oroville enterprise Zone Oroville is one of the few communities in the State that holds both a Recycling Zone and Enterprise Zone designation. Enterprise Zones are state-designated economic devel-opment areas created to stimulate business growth, create jobs and stimulate investments in local communities. Through tax incentives, hiring incentives, financial incentives, etcet-era, the Enterprise Zone is designed to add to a businesss bottom line. Bordered by the Sierra Nevada foothills and Lake Oroville, the Oroville Enterprise Zone is located in the fast growing Sacramento Val-ley. Over 5,000 acres comprise the Enterprise Zone including most of Orovilles commercial and industrial area. From Oroville, a business has easy access to San Francisco, Reno, Ne-vada and the Los Angeles area by road, air and rail. Just 70 miles from Sacramento, Oroville is ideally located along Northern Californias Hwy. 70 corridor and close to the Interstate 5 and Highway 99. Oroville is a community rich with cultural history and ample recreation.

Businesses already located in the Zone can qualify for benefits, along with new busi-nesses relocating or expanding into the zone. Both large and small businesses can profit from the many opportunities available in the Enterprise Zone. The communitys pro-business attitude has resulted in attract-ing new businesses and retaining established businesses. Oroville offers a highly skilled and train-able workforce and proximity to several universities and colleges; more than one mil-lion square feet of commercial and indus-trial space is available. To learn more about Oroville statistics, the Enterprise Zone Map and location, please visit the City of Oroville web site at www.cityoforoville.org; contact the Oroville Enterprise Zone Coordinator, Rick Farley, at 530-538-4307 or [email protected].

BayTeC Alliance The BayTEC Alliance is a not-for-profit organization focused on building a sustainable prosperity in the Oroville/Butte County region by attracting and supporting Clean Technology that create a 21st Century economy. People have come together from the public and private sectors, education and government, economic, social and faith organizations throughout the region. Their aim is to engage the spirit, hopes and dreams of the people in the area to drive the transformation of the region forward to a community that is achieving its full potential. They are pursuing their mission by competing aggressively and successfully for jobs, talent, and capital in the innovation and tech-nology sectors so that the region becomes known as a premier place for all people to live work, play and raise a family. Cleantech and Energy are the new fields of opportunity. Clean-tech refers to any product, service or process that delivers value us-ing limited or zero nonrenewable resources and creates significantly less waste than conventional offerings.

The Alliance has identified four sectors within Cleantech as their focus; solar energy, bio energy, green building and water filtration and conservation. To be successful the Alliance has identified three key ingredi-ents to developing these industries. First, to have a trained and ready workforce, second, to have an attractive business environment and third the formation of targeted business clusters. The cluster strategy seeks to capitalize on the synergy resulting from close cooperation. The first endeavor of the Alliance was the creation of the Clean-tech Innovation Center (CIC). The CIC is a regional center for al-ternative energy research, development and training. There are cur-rently three start-up companies in residence along with a research center, a demonstration lab and a training center to prepare local workers for Cleantech jobs. The second endeavor was the creation of the Cleantech Busi-ness Council. This council is comprised of CEOs of local companies along with academia. Its mission is to coordinate business needs with education and training institutions and to identify and secure early financial sources for start-ups.

ReCYClInG ZOne (1993 - 2013) The California Integrated Waste Management Board established twelve Recycling Market De-velopment Zones (RMDZ) on June 24, 1992, the first of their kind in the nation. The California Recycling Market Develop-ment Zone is an area set aside in a community designed to at-tract businesses that will convert goods from the waste stream into recycled products. The program could result in the creation of thousands of jobs. Orovilles application was number one in the second round for recycling zone designation. Californias 30 million residents generate 44 million tons of waste each year. Decreasing landfill capacity (and a pub-lic reluctance to site new landfills) has forced communities to reconsider what they do with trash. Waste is being diverted from landfills through recycling in increasing quantities. As the abil-ity to recycle increases, new markets for recycled materials are developed. Recycling Marketing Development Zones are one step to creating these markets. Benefits to businesses include recycling equipment tax credits where the State issues a credit against an individual or corporation state tax liability. The credit is worth 40% of the

investment of qualified recycling equipment or $250,000, whichever is less. Low-interest loans are also available to encourage industry to create or convert manufacturing processes to use recy-clable materials. Community Recycling

As a result of this recycling designation, Recology built a 22,000 square foot material recovery facility at their plant on South 5th Avenue. Programs offered to residents in the com-munity include a buyback center, a HHW facility, curbside re-cycling and greenwaste, universal waste and e-waste recycling, construction and demolition recycling as well as commercial business recycling programs tailor fit for each business. Recology is the first business in Oroville to be awarded a Sustainable Business Certification by the Sacramento Area Sustainable Business Program for dedicated efforts in reducing their environmental footprint. For more information on household waste recycling con-tact Recology of Butte & Colusa Counties, 2720 S. 5th Ave., Oroville, CA 95965, 530-533-5865, 530-342-4444, or Rick Farley, Enterprise Zone and Business Assistance Coordinator, City of Oroville, 530-538-4307.
