iIr. Musselman xeported to the Association that AB 1+02, recently signed
into law, requires that updates to the regional tiansplrtation plan be done by
October of'1.978'. As a result, the Association must get started work%ng on that
update and also correct deficiencies in the currently adopted env ir( (mental
impact report.
Mr. Nelson of the county Environmental Review Department stated that he
had gone through the currently adopted BIR and noted great deficiencies in
repponses to comments. Required information was no+ ;icluded and other
informationwas'included which e :-O
was beyond the scop" the plot. Mr. Nelson
gave some ;examples amid told the Association that s „e information has been
developed in the interim period since the document was first adopted. He
estimated it would take about three dabs Work to bring the C —stent in line
with the law. However, if additional transportation planning is done which
proposes new ideas, projectst etc+, which 'were not previously aonsideredq'.
those would have to be in the update ' to the ECR.
Councilwoman ; mi.th asked *. Nelson how he 'would propose to get 'proper,
responses. Mr Nelson outlined the process :for obtaining information and,
responses to produce the needed document.
Bhai.rm%ai Richter asked if Mr. Nelson was requesting the Association's �w
authorization to undertake such a project. Mr, Nelson stated that he was.
It was moved by :iupervisor Madigan# seconded by Mayor Thorn and unanimously
passod to authorize Mr. Nelson to correct -deficiencies of the currently
adapted Eft.
Mr, Castlt�L"erty discussed with the Association the transportation ;%�.;, nning
process for tli ,';►ext few years. He stated the, AB 402 ,gives 'che legislature
,more control to update regional, transportation pl ars. He stated that
Mike Metnespy recently attended a workthop on •the subject at guidelines for,
A13 402. Mri, Caatolberry stated that perhaps the Association might consider
adopting the present'RTP as the 1978 update ahO, after that it would be the
recommendation Crf the Public Works Departnmelit to have CALMANS do much of
the work on t'ut,(&t Ij transportation plan updates. Mr. Castleberry pointed
out that under'AB 402t counties do have the authority to ask CALTR.W for
this type of work.

example of how effectively a system could be run by utilizing CrxA funds.
Mr. Richter pointed out that other costs are involved as well, such as insurance,
maintenance of the system; etc., in addition to just the salary of the driver.
Mr. Ory assured the Assoc3.ation that they (CAVE) could cover all other costs, and
were asking only for a CETA, funded driver.
Mr. ltinsto-n asked if there was a way for BCAG to allocate funds directly to
CAVE to pay for their driver, Mr. Musselman stated that BCAG is not authorized :as a
transportdt#.on claimant, and that any allocation such as this would have to come
fto.,the city, the county; or a joint agreement between the city and the county.
Mr. Winston made the observation that CAVE did not want to part with their van.
That there are unmet needs existing; but he could not Vote- to meet those needs on

alternatives on how the CAVE van might be used to meet the t_ansit needs of-
handicapped
fhandicapped and elderly persons residing in the Chico urban area.
Mr. Castleberry stated that from an administrative standpoint, it; would be
best p f e county integrate it into the Paradise and
Chico rsubsidized taxi cnbasystemF`thlie stated that the county would have 'to pay
the full appraised value of, Oe van. As to which agency would be paid the
purchase value, was not known at this time,
Sulierv.isor Winston wanted to know if the van would be purchased with 'the
general funds of the county.
Mr. Castleberry stated that the county budget, that is operating these systems,
is made up from some SB 325 funds and, some isales tax funds.
Mr. Castleberry stated that if we could p~t a reasonable bargain, it would not
increase the budget. He further stated that if we could get money from Senior
Citizens Grant to augment this project, we could buy the van without any budget
increases.
Motion,. It was moved by Supervisor wi.nstm to adopt alternative number 1 in
ter. Castleberry's duly 14. 1977 memo which states: "l. Purchase vehicle from
C.A.'V.E. and U.M.T.A, at fair market value (estimated $100000 to $20,000) then
lease to Chico Clipper contractor. Clipper would operate van on an 'as `needed"
basis and a per hour cost." The motion was seconded by Mayor Thorn,
County Counsel, bel'Siemsen wanted to know it he Board of Supervisors was
going to make decisions on the preparation and cueration of this transit system.
Mr. Castleberry stated that it was a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors
and the City of Chico. The City of Chico would have to bt brought in and also
negotiation with the Chico Clipper contractor would be done.
Mr. Siemsen stated that, the Association shouldthen rescind fi"Iding of a
previously adopted resolution which allocated SB 325 funds to Butte County
t hd City of Chico;.
Chairmt;n kichter stated that the system is already in Oxistende
Mr. Siemsen stated that in April, the Asshciation decided that this was a viable
transit need and indicated ,pow to tdke care of it. The need was to be met by
transferring the van to the Chaco Clipper and the integrating it into the taxi
system. Xbw, the Association is raying that the need cannot be met.
Sitmbdh stated that previously allocated funda.to the Bounty and
City ofChicoda nor
allow for the purchase of this van: The Associ.ati.on should
revise the resolution until such time as this situation 4.9 taken care of and allocate
funds for that purpose,

something other than transpoitation planning,
Mr. Castleberry stated that funds Could not be carried over and tl-qt they
could only be used fol transportation planning.
Supervisor stated that he thought it was planned to use $15,000 for subsidized
taxi cab service.
Mr. Castleberry stated no,
Mr. Musselman stated that this year we are funding transportation planning
from SB 325 funds, In prioiyears, $17,200 in state subvention aunt monies were
used for transportation planning. If we secure enough money from this year's grant,
it tyould free a certain amount of SB J/. funds for other projects.
Mr4 Castleberry stated that we could apply for enot.bh funds to finance Mike
McEnesp 's salary for transportation planning and activities :and then talo$ that
amount out of SB 325 and put it into subsidized taxi cab service. However, we
would be taking away from Mr. McEnespy's time ir► administering taxi systems,

Mr. Siemsen stated that when you make an allocation of SB 525 funds for
streets and highways you ha-tt: to make findings that there are no unmet transit needs.
Specific justification needs to support these findings. Subvention grant, funds could
be -used to do research in these areas. We cannot rely on old information contained
in prior :year resolutions. we need to know if there are needs' and if they can be
met.

Mike McEnespy stated that this mould present problems on operating expenses,
if you have two different organizations operating the same vehicle,.
Chairman Richter stated that a greater need for Saturday service by the
Clipper will generate that service. Service should be provided where the greatest
need and greatest benefit will result for the majority of people. There is an added
ability of helping people by having this vehicle being available in a pool. for
both the Chico and Paradise areas.

for $500 for services renderedin auditing SB 325 local transportation funds.'
Motion! It was moved by Mayor Sylva, seconded by Mayor Thorn, clad unanimously

Public hearing 1977 Update to the Regional Transportation Pldn. Chairman,
Richter opened the public hearing to persons wishing to speak. There being no
one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed to the public.
Supervisor Ri'i- . asked if the Eaton Road extention to Highway 32 was still
shown on the plan. :.i1 McDonald stated that it was included in the update.
1977 Update to the Regional Transportation Plan, Assembly Bill 69, implemented
in January of 1973, requires each regional transportation agency to adopt a
transportation plan and to update that plan every year through 1977. After 1977
the transportation plan must: be updated every other year.
Stekre Musselman, administrative analyst,_ stated that there are two alternatives
the Association could take to conform with legal requirements of CEQA: (1) approve
a motion recognizing that there are unresolved deficiencies within the
oinvironmeital impact report previously adopted for the Butte County Regional
Transportation Plan, and ask staff tc correct these deficiencies before readopting
the EIR for the proposed 1977 update; or (2) to approve a motion to use the
preciously adopted EIR to apply to the proposed 1917 update, with the findingo
that environmental effects of the update are the same, or similar, as the adopted
regional transportation plan, and that future environmental reviews of individual
g p
projects listed, in the update will be completed on a project-by-project basis. In
conjthe Environmental R_view Director to evaluate the previously adoptedder requesting
unction with this motion the Association may also want to cons-
EIR and
determine how much staff time would be necessary to remedy any and all deficiencies.
Mr. Musselman stated that it would take .Considerable staff timo to correct
deficiencies of the current EIR.
Bob Boehm, County Counsel, referred the Association to Earl Nels.in
Environmental Review Director's letter that was enclosed with the agenda, in
it, Mr. Nelson stated that fr.m the standpoint of envirofitentsl impaets4 the
only differences between 'the proposed plan revision and the presently adapted plan
relate to mote apeci.fidallypdefined objectives and the irieltision of specific
(ruction Projects not iously mentioned He further staged that the impacts
p p ed in the EIR wh,Lch has
of transportation construction rojecta have been address
previously been adopted. The specific impacts of individual construction projects
will be -mare thoroughly analyzed an a prtiject-by"project basis.
Mr. Nelsonis memo pointed out that the, presently adopted EIR has certain
sho'tcomings which are admitted in the "Re'',; anses to comments" pages at the rear
of the report. If the Association were called on to readopt the report, he does
2
not believe they could make the requitao finding that the respon4e8 to comment

Mr. Boehm stated that of the two alternatives stated b

alternative is the perfect lu'tion to the problem, ;a�,ternatiVe 2 is the,

Supervisor Richter further stated that we need to provide for policing of '
dogs to eliminate hazard of cabbies. He stated that Butte County lige a very
high rate of reported rabbies cases.
Fred Davis sated that the cost of disposing of dogs for the bi,ty of Chico
is approximately $1.25 per animal.
Supervisor Lemke stated that he has a questic., as to whether xaiging fees
will promote dog licensing. With an increase in the population o' licensed
dogs, thiF should pick up the slack. It appears to me that you are penalizing
people who have been licensing dogs by taisi:ng ti-eir fees.
Supervisor Richter stated that even if you tax every person there will
still be a deficit in the budget.
Fred Davis stated that the City of Chico licenses in January. The reason
is because of workload. He wanted to know it if 'Vas inconvenient to have it
at that time. There are alot of peopie in Chico and ! ,ould make them vaccinate

the C.A.R_D. Center, conva'lescer.t hospitals and care home, favili vies.
Jane Dolan stated that the Chino Clipper does not have wheelchair access: Meals
on `heels delivers meals to 'handicapped people but does not have a lift to get
people into the vehicle. Ms. Dolan stated that an UMTA grant ha.—allowed CAVE to
purchase a vehicle with a lift. ,5fie stated that these people have the same needs
and.• desires as does the rest of thii community to .go shopping, get to the doctor,
seek work or get to work, go to sc'400l and other necdotities.
Ms. Dolan-,6tated I that there are plans to modify the vehicle in June to provide
additional access so than capacity will reach up to five wheeldhairs. The vehicle
is presently, av, able through use of volunteer drivers which necessitates6,01,,iae
scheduling. She stated that transportation for handicapped persons can reasondb].y
and ; el
effectivy be provided with the use of this van and would .not tegitire additional
car•i'tal outlay or administration expense. The missing components i6t which CAVE
requests your consideration and approval are a full time trained driver and a
regular means of providing operating expenses. There are several present alternatives
through wh%ch these can be provided.

4. A direct contract, or subcontract, between the city -county and CHIVE,
Dfs. Dolan stated that alternatives 3 and 4 can either be negotiated on a
per ride or per hour .basis, although we believe a per hour reimbursement would, be
most equitable to all parties-.
Ms. Dolan also stated that the CAVI; van is fully insured and that the
contract with the State of California requires that they maintain ownership and
control of the vehicle. It was for these. reasons, the alternatives have been
analyzed and proposed,,
Supervisor Winston asked if it were possible to have Clay Castleberry meet
with David Camp, operator of the Chico Clipper, in an effort to provide a reasonable
solut,ior to meet this need. Mr. Castleberr,ry indicated he would be happy to
do this,
