~Rasz.~ sr~,r~h~'
Butte County remains a lucrative area for methamphetamine production, "Black Tar"
heroin, and marijuana cultivation. Renewed efforts in asset seizures and forfeitures
have placed approximately X1,000,000,00 of money and personal property in the
forfeiture system, to date. One case alone has accounted for approximately one-half
million in cash and personal proeprty, stemming from a 7 lb sale of methamphetamine
in a neighboring county. ~ multi-jurisdictional investigation into the above shows
a conspiracy of approximately 30 people knotYn to date. Increased lit-gation opposing
forfeiture has put two cases at the District Court of ~ppeais level, while a bac!:log
of cases ready to be brought "at issue" will soon be filed. Butte County has
also documented one incident in the Ghico area of an individual trafficking back and
forth who is a member of the L.A. street gang, "77th Street CRTPS."
Felonies referred have decreased by 2:7~, indicating an impact on the local narcotics
problem, and changes in assigned personnel and pulling assigned personnel by their
agencies have resulted in a decrease in productivity by the task force, while new
officers are in training.
Local funding for incarceration, additional personnel and eouipment continues to
aggravate prosecution efforts. Vertical prosecution projections have been adjusted
as backlogged cases are being pushed into the system and interoffice turnovers and
resignations cause grant attorneys to man courts on non-grant matters. Case load
figured have been adjusted to allow for this manpower strain as well.

project attorneys review all H & S cases submitted to the office of the District
attorney. They also authorize cases in their areas, do the prelims and motions,
and to the Superior Court jury trials. Conflicts are normally handled by the
other grant attorney and a designated backup attorney.

Butte County, due to its' low level salaries far attorneys, continues to be a
training ground for attorneys who move on when they get some trial experience.
Negotiations to alleviate this problem are hampered by an announced 7.S mi~.lion
shortfall and the county's intention to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy if state
bailout funds are not received in !rY 90-91.

?TI. Current case management procedures - Describe what techniques are currently employee
to increase the conviction rate in i+IIv'VP cases.
The conviction rate is a product of overwork. Cases that should not have been
flied are being filed because there is insufficient time to review more than
the surface facts. Snitches ;o sideways or fail to appear, et. This causes
the cases to be dismissed.
IV. Prapased AWVP case- management procedures -- If appropriate, discuss what factors
