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. Page 50.

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. 75-116 ADOPT RESOLUTION 75-13 IN MEMORY OF JACK M SCHOLEY On motion of Supervisor McKillop, seconded by Supervisor Camexoa and unanimously carried, Resolution 75-13 in meuwry of Jack M, Scholey was adapted and the Chairman was authorized to sign, and this meeting is to be closed in his memory, RECESS: 1:35 p.m. to reconvene at 7:00 p,m, at Table Mt.
