Supervisor 'Cameron reported on the con£erenace held at the
University of Chico last Saturday. I'_e thought there should have been more
government people in attendance. From all the input, Chey came up with
10 items of concern and interest. He set out the ten items. Supervisor
Cameron felt that just the fact that these interested people were able to
get together and discuss all these things and coma up with these 10 items,
he felt, was a step forward. It was suggested that within the next six
months, another conference should be held.
Supervisor Cameron suggested a project that could be handled by
CETA workers; the possibility to taking care of the survey iaarkiag corners
in the County. If the Chairman desires, should appoint a couple of members
to study this as a project that could be handled by CETA. It will take a
lot of work and research of the information needed. Chairman Ladd said
there was a meeting yesterday, and interested surveyors of the County were
invited to attend, and this very subject was discussed. There were some
good suggestions and the surveyors were very interested. It was felt that
within a short time, Public Works will come back with a report from people
that are knowledgable. No action taken at this time.

Supervisor Cameron said he has received many complaints about
off-highway vehicles being used in the County. He does not want the County
to get into the recreation buaitaeae but he felt the Board should make an
attempt to get the districts togeCher and set out a place where these
people could use their vehicles, He would like to see the Board urge
the recreation districts to get together and Look at sites and attempt
to secure funds ter a site to be used for off-highway vehicles. Supervisor
McKillop suggested that Supervisor Cameron bring this matter Co the
attention of the Paradiss Recreation District.
Supervisor Madigan questioned Mr. Blacketock about the complaint
of the Dahlmans to the Assessor. These people cannot be granted an exception.
He feels thaC it ie unfair that these people be penalized. Mr. Blacketock
said they are trying to find some way to help the people. Mr. Blacketock
will talk to the County Assessor and will try to get a betCer factual
background of this matter.
