INSTRUCT CETA STAFF TO COMPILE POLICIES IN A FORMAL POLICY MANUAL
On motion of Supervisor Wheeler, seconded by Supervisor Winston
and unanimously carried, the recommendation of CETAC was accepted and
policies with regard to the following items: a) supplementation-.of:wages;
b).'~.method for maintaining mandated average wage; c) reallocation of
vacant positions; d) employment status of Public Service Employment (PSE)

ACCEPT RECOMMENDATION OF CETAC WITH REGARD TO APPROVAL/DENIAL OF TITLE VI
PROJECT ACTIVITY PROPOSALS AND MODIFICATIONS OF ERISTING PROJECTS WITH
It was moved by Supervisor Dolan, seconded by Supervisor Winston
that the recommendations of CETAC with regard to approval/denial of Title
VI project activity proposals and modifications of existing projects were
accepted,
Bob Paulus, fire warden, was present to discuss denial of
extension of time for two positions. The Fire Department had two positions
under CETA for one year. The two positions are dispatchers. They are
in the process of getting additional CETA personnel. There-would be
a transition problem if he were not able to keep the two dispatchers.

There is a need for these two positions to get through the next three to
six months. He asked that the Board approve an extension fox six months
for the two dispatcher aid positions. These positions would be needed
until the PSE positions are trained.
Tim Rackerby, personnel director, stated that CETAC denied
the request for an extension on the grounds that the presentation made
referred to these two dispatchers on a project were to remain on to train
the new PSE dispatchers and provide for some transitioning. Under the
federal project, training is not a component of what the CETA worker is
to do. When the county was advised that PSE had expanded, the Fire
Department made application for and received five dispatcher clerical
workers. They will be hired immediately and placed on staff. These
positions will work shift work, 24 hours a day seven days a week.
This will provide better backup. The key reason CETAC denied the request
was that the positions were to be used in transitiesning and for training
of other people. The training should be done by staff people of the agency.
This was a written presentation.
Mr. Paulus stated that these two positions would not be
training personnel. They are needed to perform the work so that the
fire captain shift dispatcher can be free to do the training of the new
personnel. Tf they do not have the positions, they cannot have the shift
dispatcher training the new employees. .
Supervisor Dolan amended the :~~pot&ni. to reflect an extension
of time of one month for the two dispatcher positions with the Department
of Forestry and ask that CETAC review project 1434 and report back to
the Board,

Motion carried.

APPROVE CETAC RECOMMENDATION TO PREPARE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING FOR CETA
AND SUBMIT TO DEPARTMENT OF TABOR
dim Rackerby, personnel director, stated that in review of the
federal regulations an annual plan is to be prepared and the use of CETA
grants are to be prepared certain ways. There would be one overall policy
under the new regulations for CETA. This was to bring all of the programs
together. Tn November they were instructed to have tEiis done by April.
He received word Friday that the plan has to be in the Department of Labor
offices this Friday. CETAC has approved. There will be other modifications
coming up later.
Chairman Lemke stated that the Board last year approved the
concept and now the plan has to be ready, Each individual Title project
has its plan. Each one of these is submitted. The county was asked to
prepare a total comprehensive plan and submit- it to the Department of
Labor, The county did not know the deadlines to submit- the plan<
The new four-year CETA regulations are still not approved. CETAC has
looked at the elements.
Mr. Rackerby stated that there is northing in the comprehensive
plan that is not in the individual plans. It is aTl in one paper.

As far as having any new elements, they do not exist. Butte County is
authorized to comply with CETA. He did not know what the new regulations
would require. This is a condition of getting the CETA money. The
comprehensive plan does not change the Board's policy. Copies of the-
plan are available for public viewing. The. plan will be under revision
and review after April when the regulations come out again.
On motion of Supervisor Moseley,. seconded by Supervisor Wheeler
and unanimously carried, the recommendation of CETAC was approved to prepare
a comprehensive plan for CETA programs and the Personnel Director was
authorized to sign plan and submit to Department of Labor.
DISCUSSION OF CETA POSITIONS
Supervisor Winston stated that he had been reading about CETAC
in the newspaper about the transitioning of 50 employees and difficulty
finding enough money.
aim Rackerby, personnel director, stated that they are not
having enough projects to fill positions under Title VI. They are trying
to encourage major public works types of activities to get large labor
forces out to do work. When they get a non-profit organization usually
there is a request for one clerical aid position. In order to implement
the full Title VI program of $4-1/2 million after the grant it would
sustain 560 to 600 workers. One-half of these can be public service
worker jobs. In order to have public service jobs there must be projects
that are very defined, monitored and regulated. They are not finding that
support they would like to see. They have had very strong support from
the U. S. Forest Service in an effort to use projectso There are no
requirements for transitioning the workers from these projects.
Mr. Rackerby stated that the transitioning of employees are
those public service employees that were initially approved under the
1974 grant. .Some of the employees have been on board since 1974. When
a regular position is vacated, a CETA employee is transitioned into that
position and becomes a regular employee, This is done on a 50 - 50 basis
so that the public is not cut out of being given positions with the
public service agency.
Supervisor Wheeler commended Mr. Rackerby, his staff and the
members of CETAC. They are very careful and are not giving funds just:
to be giving funds.
Chairman Lemke suggested that if there is a problem in finding
enough jobs and projects maybe a good project would be an anti-litter
program for a non-profit organization such as the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr, Rackerby stated that there is a litter project hanging fire.
There is a possibility that something could be worked out.
DISCUSSION AND ADOPTION OF COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 1978 ANNUAL SAFETY
REPORT
,7im Rackerby, personnel director, stated that this was submitted
in report form, The committee has looked at many of the safety problems.
Basic goals set last year were accomplished. He would like to continue
with tkie goal to reduce the accidents further. He commended the departments
this yeax for their actions. There has been safety training this year.
Workers' Compensation is a very liberal field.
On motion of Supervisor Moseley, seconded by Supervisor Winston
and unanimously carried, the 1978 annual safety report recou~endations were
adopted subject to budget review.

APPROVE NOTICE OF CANCELLATION - GRIDLEY AMBULANCE CONTRACT (COUNTY SERVICE
AREA ~~37) EFFECTIVE JUNE 30, 1979
Clif Nickelson, administrative officer, set out the background
of the proposed notice of cancellation for the Gridley Ambulance contract
(County Service area ~k37). There is a 90-day cancellation clause in the
contract. Just because the Board approved the notice of cancellation
does not mean that they have to cancel, the contract. There are several
ways the Gridley Ambulance can be handled. It can be done through an
ambulance assocation; contract with the county to be made only for the.
amount of revenue anticipated that will be received and their share of
the $4 tax rate, with the balance being paid for by service charges on
each parcel of land.
Dan Blackstock, county counsel,. stated that he was concerned
about the service charge. It is a gray area. The legislation as it now
stands, Government Code Section 25210.77A says you can have either in
lieu of or in addition to a service charge in a county service area for
miscellaneous extended services where you can charge a service off to
individual parcels. The problem with the ambulance as distinguished
from water or sewer is how do you establish. that. By what rational does
each parcel receive any type of benefit. Some parcels are large and
some are small. AB 549 will clarify this and make it a lot easier. This
is urgency legislation. Clarification will be of the actual imposition
of the service charge.

February 27, 1979
Nr, Nickelson stated that this is a very large area. The Board
could levy a prorated charge. He doubted if the charge would be more than
$1 per year.
Supervisor Moseley stated that there are around 5293 parcels and
the charge would be $4.28 per parcel. This is an estimate.
DD W, Spurgeon, councilman, felt that the Board was on the
right track. This is a vital service to the area. Without this service
every family is in jeopardy. He felt that the assessment is good.
Mr. Nickelson stated that if the Board zeroed out the ambulance
service area completely then the share of the $4 tax rate would not go
into the county general fund but be split with the schools and everyone
that receives a cut of the $4 tax rate. If the Board maintained a tax
levy and provided as much service as can be provided and some funding
of user fees and outside revenue to keep the ambulance, he felt that it
would be more fair rather than zeroing out the district. He recommended
that if the Board goes to a different method of funding that they entertain
part of the share of the $4 tax rate and come up with the balance of the
funding from user pays.
®n motion of Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Dolan
a nd unanimously carried, the letter of notice of cancellation for the
Gridley Ambulance (County Service Area ~~37) was approved and the Chairman
authorized to sign recognizing the importance of working to explore
every alternative to find additional funding.
Amador Garzia, resident of Gridley and member of Grand Jury,
stated that he was gratefuli for ~Chetinterest of the Board of Supervisors
regarding this matter. He asked for as much time as possible to solve the
problem.
APPROVE LETTER TO CORPS OF ENGINEERS REQUESTING THAT A STUDY BE MADE OF
THE CHICO MUD CREEK AND SANDY GULCH PROPERTY WITH A COPY TO GO TO THE
STATE RECLAMATION BOARD
Clay Castleberry, public works director, set out the location
of the Chico Mud Creek and Sandy Gulch property area. Mud Creek had
levees constructed by the Corps of Engineers after an agreement was entered
into .between the Reclamation Board and Butte County. The county agreed
to maintain the levee. It was originally decided to Leave the levees
come up Big Chico Creeko This was left out. The property owners are now
asking that the levees be installedo In order to have the levees built,
the Reclamation Board would have to be asked to construct the levees if
at a1I possible. This is causing damage to property in the area by
overflowing. The Reclamation Board should be asked to construct the
levee as originally agreed. He did not feel that there was any money
for the levees. The Corps of Engineers would have to have the money
budgeted.
Supervisor Dolan stated that she was not sure the entire groject
aas necessary. It might not be needed. This matter should be studied.
Dave Moss, property owner, stated that he had contacted same
people in the Corps of Engineers. He was_advised that he should come
before the Board and ask that they contact the Carps of Engineers requesting
a study be done by their department of the feasbility cost requirements
and the e~stent of work needed. The study would be conducted by the Corps
of Engineers. They suggested that' if the cost ass $I million or Iess it
could take anywhere from three to five years. Any kind of compatible program
can be worked out. ,Page 146,

PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF TRANSFER OF FUNCTIONS OF SUPERINTENDENT
OF SCHOOLS FROM THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION -
CONTTNUED TO MARCH 13. 1979 AT 10:30 A.M.
The public hearing on consideration of transfer of functions
of the Superintendent of Schools from the Board of Supervisors to the
Board of Education was held as advertised.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing:
1. Duane Powers, superintendent of schools, stated that the
Board of Education had discussed three resolutions which the Board has.
They went over the many problems involved. The Soard of Education is
generally in favor of the change in functions. The Board of Education
appeared most ~;nterested in Resolution ~k2. They are amiable to any
suggestions, He felt that the employee issue could be handled. This
would be handled according to law. Mro Powers spoke about the inventory
involved. The inventory dates back to 1955 and the last item was purchased
in 1973. The depreciation value of the equipment is about $16,000 and
the amount of inventory would be about $14,000. There was a funding change
last year with the passage of Proposition 13. Before then the Superintendent
of Schools was funded with local funds. Now the funding is about 40% local
funds and 60% state funds. The main effect of this change would be the
putting of ,the entire budget under the Board of Education who would be the
watchdogsa
2. Jim Coop, executive director BCEA, stated that he has an
author for the bill to amend the code. The bill is being drafter.
He wished the Board would show some concern after the meeting with the
administration and meet with BCEA.

of Eaton Road, identified as a portion of AP 48-01-9, 10, 13 and 16,
containing 131 acres, more or less, Chico was held as advertised,
Earl Nelson, environmental review director, set out the background
of the environmental impact reporto The property under consideration
totals 130 acres. This was part of a larger zoning proposal that came
before the Board. This was during the discussion of airport noise and
houssng. The noise study was undertaken. The information from the noise
study ,has been incorporated into the EIR. In the interim zoning ,; a"good
portion of the proposal was modifiedo The area had been requested for
"A-5" zoning and now the request is for "SR-3" zoning. The impacts of
the two zoning districts are similar enough and the EIR can be used.
The major environmental areas of concern include: increase in traffic,
drainage increase, loss of open space and an increase in the need for
providing public services. The noise factor is still thereo The southwest
corner of the property is cut by the 55 CNL control line. That is an
acceptable noise level for a residential development. In review this '
project, he did not feel that there were any impacts that are great
enough to be termed significant adverse impacts to require the need for
overriding measures.
Bettye Blair, planning director, set out the background of the
rezone. This was heard by the Planning Commission. Their recommendation
was to agprove the rezone. The indications regarding the expanding of
the project is that the developer is waiting for the intense study
regarding the land use in this area before formulating any firm plans.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing: No one.
Hearing closed to the public and confined to the Board.

On motion of Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Moseley

environmental impact report, the comments received thereon, and the responses '
to those comments, the Board certified that the final environmental impact
report has been completed in compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act, the State EIR Guidelines and the Butte County Environmental
Review Guidelines.
On motion of Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Wheeler
and unanimously carried, based on the Board's knowledge and research and
on information presented to the Board concerning this project, including
the environmental impact report which was considered in arriving at a
decision, the rezone from "A-2" (general) and "Interim A-40" (agricultural-
40 acre parcels) to "SR-3" (suburban residential - three acre parcels)
property located on the east side of Cohasset Road, approximately one mile
north of Eaton Road, identified as a portion of AP 48-01-g, 10, 13 and 16,
containing 131 acres, more orcaess, Chico for Dan.I~ays was approved, finding
it to be in conformity with the Butte County General Plan and further finding

exemption from environmental review, pursuant to Section 5113.5 of the
Page 148. February 27, 1979

California Government Code and rezone from "A-2" (general) to "TP-1b0"

Reservoir, approximately 1/2 mile north of La Porte Road, approximately
one mile east of Lewis Ridge Road, identified as AP 73-Ob-11, containing
5.8 acres, more oreless, east of Oroville was held as advertised.
Bettye Blair, planning director, set out the background of the
rezone. This is a request to annex the property and make it part of
the existing land under TP zoning district. It was heard under the
procedure and recommended for inclusion. It is not subject to the limitation
of 160 acres because it is becoming part of a larger area.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing: Don Cousins, representing
Soper-Wheeler, stated that he was speaking in favor of the rezone.
It is a matter 'of a technical rezone rather than use. The iise has been
for forest land. it does restrict some of the uses in the "A-2" zoning
that are allowable. It is directly contiguous to some 4,000 acres in
Yuba and Butte Counties that is already zoned TPZ.
Hearing closed to the public and confined to~the Board.
On motion of Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Moseley
and unanimously carried, finding the proposed rezone is not affected by
environmental review, the project was found to be categorically exempt
from environmental review and is in conformity with the General Plan.
On motion of Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Wheeler
and unanimously carried, the rezone for Soper-Wheeler Corp from "A-2"
(general) to "TP-160" (timber preserve - 160 anre parcels) property
located south of Sly Creek Reservoir, approximately 1/2 mile north of
La Porte Road, approximately one mile east of Lewis Ridge Road, identified
as AP 73-06-11, containing 5.8 acres, more or less, east of Oroville was
approved with the finding that it is in conformity with the General Plan;
Ordinance 2007 was adopted and the Chairman authorized to sign.
RECOGNIZE CRAIG ACCESS ROAD AS APPROVED NON-COUNTY MAINTAINED ACCESS
Clay Castleberry, public works director, set out the background
of the reason for the need to recognize Craig access road as a non-county
maintained access road. This is state recreational property. The state
acquired the right-of-way to the state recreational property. Over the
years many parcels have been created her. The county has approved some
land divisions using some of the approved roads. There have been people
coming to the Board asking far approval of access, The Craig access road
is a better road than those approved for access to development. When a
building permit is issued it is necessary to show access to a county road ._
Discussion open to the public. Appearing: Leslie Steidl.
Ms. Steidl~;asked that the Board delay any decision on-this matter.
She has talked with Mr. Harold Bradshaw, Department of Parks and Recreation.
He did not feel that the state had been legally contacted regarding this
matter. The stays position is that the road exists now as egress and
ingress for state parks and the current residents on already approved
parcels for implied access rights to the road. However, the state feels
these are the only people who have the right to travel the road.
Ms. Steldl stated that the area is now under study regarding
the zoning. She felt that the decision should be delayed until after
the zoning considerations have been completed. Under the proposed
zoning there would be few new parcels, five acre minimum.

Supervisor Winston stated that the Board passed an ordinance
describing access requirements. This was the first time that traversable
access was defined. Tt is up to the property owner to prove they have
traversable access. The Craig access road is a state road and any attempt
on the part of the state to give it to the county will be met with resist-
ance. This matter was brought up because of a property owner who has
asked that the Board acknowledge that Craig assess road is a traversable
access. Tt meets the criteria for the requirements of traversable access.
It will be on the burden of the property owners to get written acess
agreements with the state and the property owner was asked to replace the
three-ton bridge and enter into a maintenance agreement. He felt that
the requirements were quite clear. He did not feel that this matter had
anything to do with the zoning proposal.
Mr. Castleberry stated that most of the parcels in the area
have access through rights-of-way. Today a property owner could come
in and apply for a parcel split if he met the zoning and show:proof
of a right-of-way down to a county road. This road is in better shape
than most of the roads. It is a convenience to those in the area to
legally use what they are using anyway. The state did 'do extensive
work on the Craig access road.
Supervisor Dolan felt that if there was no urgency in approving
this, the people have-asked that this be delayed until after the zoning.
She felt that the Board should delay the matter.
On motion of Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Wheeler
and carried, Craig'artgess<:road<.~wasorecognized as a non-county maintained
access providing the conditions set forth by the Director of Public Works
is met, namely, that the county recognize Craig access road providing written
permission be obtained from the state to use the right-of-way, a road
maintenance association agreement be recorded and signed to the satisfaction
of the Department of Public Works and further that the present three-ton
limited small bridge be replaced in accordance with the DeparmeAt of Public
Works requirements and none of the cost at any time to be from the County

cut. This one small unit has 13% of the total departmental cuts. The
state is saying that there is no need for a centralized agency fox the
state. The counties can supply the technology themselves. This service

modification, This would be the addition of property west of Oak Lawn
area. He recommended approval of the Oak Lawn area. He has a letter
from Mxso Hunter asking to be included in the district. He suggested that
the Board indicate to the engineer that the district be west of Oak Lawn
and that all property owners be renoticed.

POLICY: BOARD NOT TO REQUIRE APPLICANT ON MAPS TO SEER AND DILIGENTLY
PURSUE ZONING RE: UNCLASSIFIED ZONES
Bettye Blair, planning director, set out the background fox
requiring the condition to apply for and diligently pursue zoning.
She read minute order 78°2335. The ultimate land use dealing with the
!'A-2':';:zone has no^guarantee~of~the.use the parcel may develop intoo
That is her major concer. They are controlling parcel size with the
General Plan but not land use. Tt is a major concern. Part of the
objection regarding the policy to require zoning was the possible delay
and increased fees. There has been a misunderstanding on the•part of
the applicants of parcel maps. They had the feeling that they would not
have to make application for zoning at any time. The application fees
would be about $235.

She felt that the Board should continue to require the condition
unless some alternative method of guaranteeing that the land use established
is going to be in conformity with the General Plan. Planning wise, they
are still trying to get the general Plan out of the Planning Commission
so then can concentrate on other areas of concer and start on the "A-2"
zoning. Her concern is the responsibility that she ha s, on the Planning
Director's report to the Advisory Agency for finding conformity with the .
General Plan. Without a firm committment, she is uncomfortable with
making that decision, She felt that if the Board rescinds it s. policy,
it would be a problem for the Advisory Agency in finding the proposals are
in conformity with the General Plan.
Mrs. Hipler stated that if the Board leaves the policy open like
it has been, the Planning Department is under the impression it is abolished.
The people are happy with "A-2" zoning.
On motion of Supervisor Moseley, seconded by Supervisor Winston
and carried, the policy not to require applicants of maps to seek and
diligenty pursue zoning was adopted, AYES: Supervisors Moseley, Wheeler
and Vice Chairman Winston. NOES: Supervisor Dolan. ABSENT: Chairman Lemkeo

LETTER CONCERNING LEAA REAUTHORIZATION LEGISLATION {S 241) -
CONTIN_U_E_D TO MARCH 6, 1979
Discussion.of the Region C - Regional Criminal Justice
Planning Board letter concerning the LEAA reauthorization leg-
islation (S 241) was held at this time..
Howard Casagrande, director, stated that he was here
to help clarify the letter that had been written. He is attempt-
ing to apprise all of the Board members as .to the conditions
surrounding the program and keeping the .Board aware of events.
In 1974-75 this program was picked out as-far as federal funding,
Mr. Casagrande stated that he has been learning how to live
with cuts.
Supervisor Winston stated that he had made the remarks,
He questioned the program. He sat in on one meeting and heard
the discussion that the money had to be spent. He resented this.
He referred to the Mr. Casagrandes of the world. He has respect
for Mr. Casagrande. He had stated that if you asked ten people
what the greatest problem it would be inflation and government
spending.
Mr. Casagrande stated that the purpose of the Letter
was to apprise the Board that there is reauthorization legislation
pending that is not always beneficial to counties of this size.
He felt that he had not kept the Board as informed as he should
have.
Supervisor Moseley did not feel that the
federal government should be so involved with law enforcement
at this level.
Supervisor Winston stated that he regreted using
Mr. Casagrande`s name.. He had meant bureaucracy.
Supervisor Wheeler stated that if the Board writes
a letter, she hoged that it did not mean that they supported
the program. There is a grant available for three years at
$450,000 with $42,000 out of that grant for administrative costs.
The balance is made up by the counties that would share in the
costs.
Mr. Casagrande stated that would be predicated upon
what the legislation is that is currently under consideration.
Clif Nickelson, administrative officer, stated that
there are many concerns: (1) where is the county going to get
the money for the share of the CCGJ programs. (2} where
is the county going to get the money if the county has to come
in and subvent the CCCJ director.
It was moved by Supervisor Wheeler, seconded by
Supervisor Dolan, that the LEAA reauthorization.legislation
(S 241) be supported with the constraint that full funding
be from the federal level and not from the local levelo
AYES: Supervisor Dolan and Wheeler. NOES: Supervisors

GENERAL POLTCY QUESTIONS
Discussion of the county requiring street lighting
installations held at this time. Mr. Castleberry stated-that
the county requires street lighting. He has developers where
the property owners have written saying they do not want lights.
The county has the developer's deposit. Perhaps a compromise
could be reached to require the developer to put in the conduits
for the street lights and not require a service area at this
time. The county could form districts when petitions are
presented by the property owners rather than at the time of
filing the map.
Supervisor Winston stated that it would seem that
it would be proper, to change the policy and.only require
the conduits be put in, along with stubouts.
The policy matter is continued to March 6, 1979.
