Mrs. Betty Kircher -3- January 31, 1983
In response to your question on any
differences between this material
and information previously supplied on, deer herds in Butte County,
we have the following comments. Amap was recently transmitted
to Mr. Lowell. Smith regarding the Mooretown Deer Herd. This map
was outdated and, due to errors by personnel unfamiliar with the
current herd boundaries, was ,sent to Mr. Smith. The ma);as
accompanying 'his Metter contain the most up-to-date inZormation on
Butte County c1eer herds and supersede or replace proviously
transmitted maps.
If you have any further questions, please contact Jerky Menson,

Your letter; and others, will surely be a source of comment in future'

As you are aware the Board has directed a letter to the state concerning
mitigation fees, and we have yet to receive a response.
-- ,n a related matter concerning the deer herd issue, please find attached
a letter recently received from the State Department of Fish and Game wherein
they apparently are removing the dog control ordinance provisions from their
earlier position,
Thank you for, recent input,

Dear Ms. Dolan:
'UKMtJIAR Gnvxrn,,
r
In response to your June 3, 1987 letter regarding deer
mitigation, it remains the Department's recommendation that
PIrcels within the deleted habitat areas be subj(- to
mitigation fees.
The basis for this recommendation is that even though habitat
values have been degraded by past development activities,
significant additional habitat values will be lost to the added.
de%elopment. Our action in deleting such areas from deer range
designation was not intended to represent that these areas had
no value.
Since degradation of deer habitat values has already occurred,
it is better to deflect development to these areas in order to
maintain undeveloped areas for deer. Our a

Subject; Deer Herd Mitigation
As you are aware the Board of Supervisors continued further discussion
of the do,r mitigation measures until August 1d on the regular agenda,
Questions we will be asking of Count„ Counsel in p�,�eparation for that 'meeting
are,
1, Can the Board of Supervisors legally levy and collect mitigation
fees? Evidently in the past the Board rv!as advised by County Counsel that
they could not levy the fees without being part of a total package, i@e,
fencing ani dog ordinance. other members of the Board believe Counsel's
opinion w * based on the pact *hat the Board had not yet adopted a policy
of collecting the fees.
2. If the Board of Supervisors were to consider mitigation fees, could
Butte County control it (the fees),
I`n relistening to the tape of the Board of Supervisors meeting, there
was no specific direction to eutend an invitation to State Fish and Game
personnel to attend the iieeting of August 18, Therefore, we are not extending
such qn invitations If you thiink it woull be advisable to have the state
