SEPARATION FUND FOR MIDWAY-PROJECT ~ SPRR

J. Clark Lambeth, President of the Sierra Christian Services, Inc., which
endorsed the grade separation. Mr, Castleberry stated that he had found
out that with the exception of the two local trains that go through, the
speed of the trains is 60 mph. There are approximately 20 trains through
this area daily.
Supervisor Richter stated that he had sampled the opinion of the Durham area
and found iC favorable towards the grade separation. He recommended that the
Board support this as recommended by Public Woxka. Supervisor Cameron stated
that he is also concerned about the eafety.of the people but he feels that
gates placed before the tracks at a cast of $115,000 will provide as much
protection as the grade separation. He doesn't want to spend a million
dollars for a few thousand cars a day to go across the crossing.
Supervisor Richter stated that if the million dollars was available to use
in other ways he could understand the argument. However, the money is
available only for this project. The Board does not have options or alternatives.
Supervisor Cameron stated that other croseingsahould have been looked at.
Mr. Castleberry stated they have worked on several other crossings but most
of those intersect at right angles whereas this one does not. They still feel
very strongly that; this is a good project and hope that the Board will approve
it. He explained that they are working on other project of this astute now.

Supervisor Richter stated that the danger is not only with the railroad
crossing. There are many accidents that axe due to the dangerous turn.
Supervisor Cameron moved to not authorize Public Works to ask for funds fox
the grade separation. Motion died for lack of a second.
Denise Dempsey, Durham, stated that she would like the Board to consider
the opinions of the people in the audience. Supervisor McKillop stated he
would go along with hearing the public but only if new arguments would be
heard. Discussion. It was decided that the Board had heard the public's
comments .
Supervisor Cameron stated that he intends to write a letter to CALTRANS
objecting to the money being spent on this project. Mr. Castleberry
explained the timing of this matter. Ia effect, the county is still Competing
with another project in Alhambra for the money. If this project is postponed
this year, he doesn't know what would happen next year. Supervisor Cameron
thought a public hearing was in order however there is not time. Mr.
Castleberry stated that men in his department would be hapgy to discuss and
explain this with interested citizens.
On motion of Supervisor Madigan, seconded by Supervisor Richter and carried,
the Board authorized Public Works Department to request fund allocation from

75-169 APPEARANCE: EDMUND GAZALL PRESIDENT OF THE FOSTER PARENTS ASSOCIATION
Mr. Gazall stated that they are in great need of an increase in child care
allotment for children placed in foster homes. Children are being sent
to home outside the county at a cost higher to the county because people
do not want to take care of the children because of the high cost and low
pay of keeping them. The money these people receive amounts to three cents
per hour. Mr. Gazall requested that the rates be increased to $200 per maath.
Mr. Gazall explained the reasons these children are put in foster homes and
the condition they are in. Many times, the foster parents spend money out
of their own packets for necessities for their children.
Dorothy Hartnett,a foster parent, read a letter written Co Supervisor Cameron.
This letter set forth the rates the foster parents receive. This is $100
for pre-adolescents and $120 for teenagers. These rates were put into effect
over 18 months ago. She gave the breakdown of the money. They are requesting
an $80 increase for both pre-adolescents and teenagers.
Supervisor Madigan questioned about a bill for bottled water listed on a
handout given to the Board by Mrs. Hartnett. Mrs. Logan, who uses the
water at her home, explained that their water was not suitable for drinking.
Supervisor Madigan questioned allowing children to etay.in homes that do Rot
have suitable drinking water. Mr. Witt from the Association stated that there
is such a desperate need for homes that they have to make allowances for
small things such as this.
Discussion of the funding. There are approximately 85 foster homes is the
county, however some of these are special license homes that can be used
for one child only, which is usually a relative and the license applies only
to that child.
Discussion of TB testa given to the foster parents. Eaoh parent must have a
teat at the time of liceasiag and every year theresfter, The first teat is
paid for but the rest must be done by private doctors and paid out of the
pockets of the foster parents. The supervisors felt this should definitely
be looked into. They do sot feel the foster parents should have to pay for
this expense.
Supervisor Ladd stated that this matter would be discussed at the Niae Northern
Counties Supervisors' Association at the meeting on February 14. Mr. Gazall
stated that the Association would help the supervisors in any way possible.
SupervisoY Cameron stated he would Iike to meet with these people after the
February 14 meeting.

winter maintenance of roads. Mr. Earles stated that due to a maintenance sign
being moved from its original location, the grader only comes to within 6/10 of
a mile frpm his driveway. Also, the school bus and postal service will not
go past the saga. This sign was moved after Mr. Earles bought his property.
Clay Castleberry stated that the sign could be moved back but he doesn't know
where the funding would came from to maintain the road. He hoped that no
change would be made until the entire board looked at the situation.
Chairman Ladd suggested that the moving of the•sign as well as any maintenance
wait until the Board can view the situation. This will be Looked at on the
Board's road tour.
75-172 APPEARANCE:. MRS. ERNIE ALBRECHT. GRAND AVE.. OROVILLE
Mra. Albrecht stated she 1s concerned about Juvenile Ha11 and about whether
the juveniles being placed outside the county are receiving education while

75-173 APPEARANCE: RICK MELINE, DURHAM
Mr. Meline appeared regarding the grade separation on the Midway. He felt
that safety could be handled for much less expense. He didnl.t feel that the
majority of people in the area are aware of this project and he also felt
that this item had bees pushed through by the Board.
75-174 NAIVE FIRST BEADING OF SALARY ORDINANCE AMENDMENT RB ADDITIONAL DEPUTY
FOR COUNTY COUNSEL
Bill Lawrence, Auditor, stated that the memo he sent to the Board regarding
this item was Che extent of his report.
Dan Blackstock, County Counsel, stated that the board was very clear on the
need for Chia additional deputy. He explained that no matter which way they
went on this, the deputy would still be under his responsibility. The request
for an attorney submitted by the school board would require fiscal independence.
Mr. Blackstock stated that if the additional deputy is authorized, ha would
like to have Mr. Powers be included on the final interviewing of the applicants.
The Superintendent of Schools will have office apace for the deputy in June.
Mr. Blackstock briefly discussed the costs submitted by the Auditor.
Supervisor McKillap stated that he would support the additional attorney
if he is placed in the school offices. If he is not, Supervisor McRillop
doesn't feel that the school would be getting their money's worth.
Mr. Lawrence stated that the only problem would be concerning the clerical
staff and using the law library. The Supervisors didn't feel that this would
present a great problem.
Chairman Ladd felt that there would be times when the attorney could not handle
the work because of the unsteady flow of work through that office. Supervisor
Cameron pointed out that the attorney would still be under Counsel's office
and could call for help when needed .Page 76.

Mary Dayton, secretary-treasurer of the school board association, was concerned
about the "internship" method in the Counsel's office. There,ia a large turnover
of attorneys in the office. She explained trouble they have had receiving
aid from the office. Thu schools have delayed on issues because they knew it
would take some time to get a reply. Ms. Dayton explained same other important
iaeuea that had come up since the night meeting with the Board that had increased
their need for their own attorney.
Supervisor &ichter commented on the turnover rate in Counsel'f office. Re
doesn't feel this problem would change if the office was at the school board's
office. Mrs. Dayton explained that they would need to recruit attorneys interested
in achool law instead of someone just wanting experience in different fields.
Mr. Blackstock explained that there is a flyer and advertisement for this
position already prepared and it states that this is for a career in achool law.
Whoever applies will understand that iC wiil be only for school districts.
However, Mr. Blackstock stated that they will probably cot attract anyone
experienced in school law cad it will not be mandatory.
Mr. Blackstock explained his ideas on making a classification in addition
to the one already in the salary ordinance that would make this job more
appealing and perhaps someone would stay if they had something to look forward
to. Chairman Ladd stated that he felt there must be some incentive in this
position.
Supervisor Richter questioned the Personnel Director regarding the turnover
in this office and its comparability to other counties. Mr. Rackerby explained
that the study now being done by the state will have this information and this
will be available in a few months.
Mr. Rackerby reminded the Board that if a new classification with higher
salaries was drawn up, this would not only effect the other attorneys salar~.es
but probably the department heads as well. Discussion.
Discussion of fiscal independence. Mr. Blackstock preferred that this 6e
referred to as a transfer of functions.
Supervisor MCKillop moved and Supervisor Cameron seconded a motion to give
the schbola fiscal independence.
AYES: Supervisors McRillop and Cameron

the Board waived the first reading of the salary ordinance adding one deputy
attorney to County Counsel's office.

75-175 DISCUSSION: REQUEST OF STEVE AND GLORIA BALLINGER FOR E%CLUSION FROM
INTBRIM A-20 ZONING
Supervisor Richter questioned Mr. Lawson regarding this matter. The Ballingers
were in the process of dividing their property when the interim zoning was
placed on their property. Due to not being able to divide their property,
they are having economic difficulties and request to be excluded from this
zoning. Supervisor Richter was concerned that this was not looked into before
the interim zoning was adopted. The Ballingers were before the Board on
January 7 to appeal the decision to require an EIR for the division.
Steve Ballinger explained that they started this split is September of 1974
while it was zoned A-2. It has taken over five months to get to the Board oa
this. They are farming the land now and continued to do so after it is split.
Mr. Ballinger explained the problems encountered in trying to split the land
and the problems caused by not being able to divide it.
Supervisor Richter pointed out the findings required before the Board can
exclude property from a zone and he didn't feel this met those requirements.
Discussion of possible solutions to the Ballingers' problem.
The public hearing to establish permanent zoning is the area is set for
February 27 before the Planning Commission.
Mr. Blackstock was requested to investigate possible solutions and report
back to the Board.
Recess: 12:45
Reconvene: 2:02
Mr. Blackstock reported on the Ballinger issue. He stated that according
to law, there is no solution to the Ballingers' problem. The only thing
he can recommend is regarding financing of the Ballingers' business. They
have already looked into the financing and don't feel it would solve any
of their problems. Discussion.
The Soard expressed their sympathy but stated that nothing could be done
legally to help these people. Na action taken.
75-176 DISCUSSION: BICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
Bob Nicholson, Economic Development Director, appeared to request guidance
as to what the Board wanted to do in regards to the celebration. He has
been receiving several items in connection with the bicentennial. One such
item is a proposed 13-trailer caravan that will carry a very large relief
map of the state to schoo]sand fairs. The people would like endorsement
by the Board on this item. Discussion. It was the feeling of the Board
that since the caravan was going to take place anyway, there was no reason
for endorsing it.
Supervisor McKillop felt that the cities in the area should be contacted to
find out their plans so that the county could coordinate with them on the
celebration.
Chairman Ladd questioned about why Mr. Nicholson is handling this; he didn't
feel it was a job for that office. Mr. Nicholson explained that he has verq
close contact with the different chambers of commerce in the area and that
it just fell into his lap.

and they would like to do some refurbishing on the Gridley Memorial Hall.
They will provide the labor if the county will provide the materials.
The cost for this would probably be around $800 or $900. Discussion of
whether to wait for budget time for this money.
Chairman Ladd explained the condition of the hall. It is badly in need
of repair. He felt the Board should take advantage of community projects like
this when offered.

carried, the Board approved the Rotary Club project of refurbishing the
Gridley Memorial Hall, with the county paying for materials only up to $900,

taxis on a small basis. He would now like to make a short trip to talk to
these people and find out what problems they have encountered, etc. Supervisor
Richter stated he would be in favor of such a trip. Supervisor Cameron felt
this matter should be followed through as some low-cost transportation is
needed in the county. Mr. Castleberry would like to have a eupervisor accompany
him on this trip.
Supervisor Madigan stated he had ran across an article of subsidizing taxis
that had been done in Pasa Robles, where it had apparently worked vary well.
Supervisor McR.illop stated that he felt BCAG and the transportation committee
should be the ones to look at this matter in depth.

Mr. Castleberry reported that the PUC had voted unanimously to approve the
Durham overcroasing.
75-182 DISCUSSION: PROPOSED SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE

review this completely but that he wanted to make a few comments about what
they had received. He felt that this matter would take several discussions
and possibly a public hearing, He reviewed a few of the changes for the Board,
one of which is labeling all divisions, even a two parcel split, as subdivisions.
There will also be a change in the parcel map procedure.
Mr. Blackstock stated that the handout consisted of two proposed ordinances;
one was drawn up by the county and the other was submitted by the state. $e
felt that before anything was discussed on these that the Board should have
the opportunity to look over both and compare them.
The Board would like to have copies of flee proposed ordinance available for
the public. Thie will be done after it is decided which one is more acceptable.
Discussion of the deadline date on this matter. The date is March I. This
date was set last year. Mr. Blackstock stated that this ordinance has been
discussed o€f and on for quite some time. The Board was concerned about being
faced with a deadline and questioned why they had net received this information
earlier. Mr. Blackstock stated that the county ordinance will meet moat of
the conditions required in the law sad that there was no great urgency in this.
Also, Mr. Blackstock had known that the model ordinance was going to be distributed
and had wanted the Board to have it also.
Matter left open at this time.

B-120 Public Health (Family Health Service). This transfer adjusts the Family
Health Services giant fox the calendar year of January I, 1974 through
December 31, 1974 to agree with the approved grant budget.
8-121 Superintendent of Schools. $300 is transfered from office expense to
equipment maintenance within the Superintendents budget and is to
cover a deficit in the maintenance account which did not provide enough
funds for NCR machine maintenance and other items.
B-122 Health - Drug Control Resource Center. This transfers $555 from
professional and special services to extra help within the DCRC budget and
is caused by a backlog of clerical work which accumulated within the DCRC
refexral center due to an increase in case load, staff vacations, and
sick-leave time. Extra help clerk was needed from December 30, 1974
through January 31, 1975.
B-123 Agriculture. This transfers $400 from the reserve for contingencies to
othex transportation and travel account, and results from the agricultural
inspector utilizing the sectional center quarantine inspection ae authorized
by the Board of Supervisors, which means that Butte County's fair share of
the workload at the Marysville Poat Office must be convered. This in turn
xesulted in travel expenditures (out of county meals, etc.) as authorized
travel expenditures which were not anticipated at budget time. This amount
should cover for the balance of the fiscal year under this program.
B~124 Chico Municipal Court. $500 is transfered from extra help to overtime
within the Court budget, and is requested to cover overtime hours caused
by recent resignation of an employee, and the necessity to train another
employee.
B-125 Superior Court. $580 is transfered from extra help to overtime within

juvenile court clexk, rather than purposes for which this position is budgeted,
is the cause for the overtime deficit.
8-126 Covnty Service Area X38 (Paradise Drainage District). Public Works has
requested Board authorization to install and replace draiaage culverts in
County Service Area 138 by County forces, and Board approval of this item
will necessitate a change in budgeting within the service area. Changes
reflected are $25,000 reduction in special departmental expense with an
increase of $5,000 in structures and improvements, and as increase of
$20,000 in maintenance of structures, Also, prior year monies which
were encumbered will be reclassified in the same manner, with $5,588.86 going
from prior year special departmental expense to prior year structures and
improvements.
B-127 Public Works, Xarda & Stores, and Equipment Section. The fencing job
around the Public Works yard will necessitate an additional $2,800 for
fencing material over and above the Board authorized $2,400 on January 28,
1975. There is savings oa purchases of four dump-Crucks, and the $2,800
ie transfered from the equipment account in the equipment budget to
structures and improvements account is the yards and stores budget to
cover this.

Mr. Lawrence gave an example of Sudden Infant Death. When such a death occurs,
the Health Department visits the parents to ease the pain of the death of-the baby sad
explain the cause of death. To be reimbursed for this, the Auditor must give
as estimation of the total deaths and costa of the visits by February 15, However
he must estimate the amount of deaths up to June 30, which is very difficult.

Mr. Lawrence xequeated that the Board take thin matter up with their
supervisors association to txy and get the legislatian changed to allow
the county's coats to be sent in at a later date, possibly June 15 instead
of February 15, when they would have a much better idea of how much to claim.
Mr, Lawrence felt that the Board of 5upervisore would have much more influence
than the Auditor's associatien.
Supervisor Madigan stated he would like to see the Board write a letter to
CSAC on this and follow through on the matter at the February 14 meeting
with the Nine Northern Counties Supervisors Association. The Auditor

that he felt some good had come out of the matter.

Supervisor McRillop felt that the employees' association ahouid be sent a copy
for their concurrence. The Association received a copy of the memo but it had
not been discussed with them. Supervisor McRillop suggested that the Auditor's
substitute plan ahouid meet and discuss this with the county administrative
team and also the employees' sasociaticn.
Discussion of whether the money, once it is in the treasury, belongs to the
county or the employee.' Chairman Ladd felt that there were several unanswered
questions sad thought. perhaps a committee might be needed to study the matter.
