of the levees. The State heard the recommendations of Mr. Kimmelshue, Mr. Bach
and of Butte County, but due to the staff recommendation, the State Board
made a compromise ruling. Designated flood plan line set out. The State
Board felt that the portion of the levee on this line should be allowed to
remain. Mr. Bath's levee is on that line and it will be allowed to remain.

bay area stations if they were duplicating local stations. He explained the
matter of news protection. Mr. Iacopi said their company was grandfathered in

peace officers retirement plan. He said he had talked to the State Welfare
Office and they did not have any other County that coverr.d the investigators
under the peace officer powers, Page 4200

Supervisor Reynolds said these men investigate Welfare matters
and some of these people are belligerent. He felt that the Board did not
have to discuss any other area but deputizing these men. Mr. Mickelson
said that the Sheriff could do this on his own volition. He said he would
be wary of the Board declaring these people as peace officers. It was

would like to see these people appear before the Board and explain their
problems.

72-444 PRESENTATION ON DATA PROCESSING E~IPMENT
Mr. Hindery offered his presentation and a recommendation concerning
the County's data processing equipment. He said he felt this was a very a.mportant
matter and he wished that Supervisor Maxon was present to receive the presentation,
He said he would like to make one pointo The data processing department has
reduced its costs to the tax payerso He said the budget figures were completely
false. He said he has the actual costs in his office. He said he realized that
taxes were rising but the attack on the data processing department is not the
answero This department offers cost savings to the County tax payers. He said
the obvious answer is that the machines should not be idle. The County Should
allow other users to use the machines. He said the critcism of his department
was based on mis-representation.
Mr. Hindery reported that the RCA Company has gone out of business.
He feels that the County should be protected by looking at other equipment.
He said he has made a thorough investigation of the other companies. He said
his concern was that costs to the County should not increase. He said in
his investigations he had insisted that any conversion must be done by the
vendors. He feels that a recommendation must be made to the Board members,
He said there were three companies that he could discuss with the Board:
Controlled Data Corporation
Honeywell
Univac (they purchased RCA)
He set out the comparison of the three companies. He set out the capabilities
of each of the systems, He explained the costs of the 3 systems. He said that
each system proposed would require additional wiring, air conditioning and
more space. He said he would recommend going to the Controlled Data Corporation
system as being the best system> He said he did not feel that it would be in
the best interest of the County to continue with the RGA equipment. He 6a id

they could install the system by .7uly 1, 1972. He had copies of their proposal
that he presented to the Board members. He requested that the Board relay
their decision concerning .this matter to him at the earliest possible time.
He said there was a 30 day termination clause in the RCA leased
Recommendation of Mr. Hindery discussed, Advantages of the system
set out by Mr. Hindery, information could be stored and it could be run at a
slack time. Mr. Hindery explained the advantages this new system would be
to the County tax collector. He said that the uses of this equipment is
unlimited. He said the remote stations in other counties would be paid for by the
customers themselves.
Supervisor Madigan questioned Mr. Hindery about the system. It was
brought out by Mr, Hindery that Controlled Data controls 4% of the data
processing market; IBM controls 75% of the market, Mr. Hindery said that
IBM is more costly than any of the other systems; most of IBM customers are
captive customers,
Supervisor Reynolds said he would like this matter placed back on
the agenda for March 21st and have ~upervisor'Maxon present to discuss Chi
matter with Mr. Hindery, Supervisor Madigan said he felt there should be some
written requirements to the vendors. Mr. Hindery will prepare his requirements.
The requirements should be in writing for the study of the Board. Mr. Hindery
will have the requirements in writing for the Board members next week,
D, C, Swinney, Tax. Collector, requested that the users of the machines
be called and discuss the matter with them, He would like to see that his
programs will go right on as it is-now set up, He said he hoped that the Board
would ask Mr, Hindery to have a meeting with all the departments using the
machine, Mr, Hindery said he would meet with the userso Chairman Gilman
said he would ask that when the meeting is scheduled with the users that
Mr, Hindery invite the Board members to attend the meetingo
Matter placed back on the agenda for Tuesday, March 21, 1972,

72-460 PUBLIC HEARING: STANDAltb5 FOR LOT SPLIT ORDINANCE AB1301
This meeting was called on a continuation of a Public Hearing on
establishing standards pursuant to Chapter 20 of the Butte County Code,
GEORGE CRANES, Chairman of the Citizens Committee on Subdivisions for
Butte County appeared at the request of the Chairman of the Board to answer
recommendations of the Department o£ Public Works for land div}sion standards.
The committee's vote and explanations were submitted in written form as well
as verbal.
CLAY CASTLEBERRY appeared in rebuttal at the request of the Board, telling
the public the Department of Public Works is willing to lower the standards
from the original proposals if that is what the public and the Board would
like. He explained that a traversable road would be a graded dirt road on
which a standard automobile could travel but growth in density might make
an improved road necessary. Further, the $200 deposit originally required
as ~ deposit for drainage improvements was lowered by his department to
$100 as a suggestion. Many drains can be kept at the natural drainage for
the present time without injury to the neighbors.
HOWARD TOUSSATNT appeared to suggest that Item No. 4 on Page 16 be
clarified, He recommended the wording be simply: "Where individual wells
and septic tanks are to be installed on the same lot, the minimum lot area
should be 12,500 square feet." (Omitting everything else in that paragraph.)
PUBLIC HEARING opened at 8:14 p.m. with the following appearing;
1. Jack Bryson, 1873 Del Rio Way, Paradise. Favored staying with the
recommmendations of the Citizens Committee, He would like to have
the $100 deposit drainage expense not be included in the standards,
2. Wilson Bruce, 1656 Nunneley, Paradise. Read a prepared paper
regarding tax payers wanting lower taxes and less restrictions,
Derrogatory remarks were included pertaining to the members of
of the Board of Supervisors. He concluded with "We do not taant
AB 1301."
Supervisor Reynolds took exception to the paper and comments.
3. Mrs. John R, Hanford (Priscella), 1773 Honeysuckle Lane, Paradise,
appeared on behalf of the League of Women Voters of Butte County,
reading a Letter from their president, Mrs. Barbara Seawall, in
which approval of the original recommendations was expressed.
4. Quinton Griffith of Chico, representing the "Bird Watchers",
Sierra Club. They favor the original standards rather than
those "watered down", Their 350 members are strongly in favor
of those standards first submitted. He hoped the board would be
guided in the ordinance with local interests and support Mr.
Castleberry's recommendations.
5. Mr. .Tack Bryson appeared again, asking, "What is a 'Bootleg
subdivision'?" Chairman Gilman read the definition from a
manual. Mr, Castleberry put a chart on the bulletin board to
illustrate how .lot splits can become bootleg subdivisions.
6. Bill Dawson, Fire Marshall from the Paradise Fire District.
Page 426.
March 7, 1972
Expressed approval of higher standards of AB 1301. Not in favor of
dirt roads in wet weather in his area. He is concerned with them
when the population increases in these areas.
7. Emmett Ricks of Paradise appeared, asking what the Board is going
to do with land within the Butte College area, with zoning. It
is zoned as A-3 as an interim, The Planning Commission is going
to study land use plan for the area in the near future, Laurence
J, Lawson said. He said they have had no request for development
in the area but it will be reviewed on March 17th at a study
session.
8, Marjorie Cox from Paradise appeared, again asking why the law
should not be cancelled, saying it is unconstitutional. She
is concerned with AB 1301 and with the burning law. Chairman
Gilman enlightened her on the burning law.
9. William A. DeSpain from Durham, asking how things can be mandated
by the state, Someone mentioned that gassage of SB 412 would change
AB 1301 insofar as standards are concerned,
The Public Hearing closed at 9:10 p,m, and the meeting was confined to
the Board,
Supervisor maxon said he has had no one call him in favor of AB 1301,
On the other hand, he has had letters and telephone calls against AB 1301
or at least in favor of only the minimum requirements.
Supervisor Madigan stated he has had no telephone calls, either way.
Supervisor Reynolds said he cannot support what has transpired with
the committee that started in one way and in the course of two months
went to nothing, He said, we do need accessable roads with sixty-foot
right-of-way that are traversable except in snow season. If the planned
traffic gets in excess of the traversable road, supervisor Reynolds thinks
it should be changed. Further, he believes there should be a fee for making
drainage or storm drainage could be provided when required. In his opinion,
we do need standards for the Public Works Department and the Health Depart-
ment to work by.
Supervisor Gilman questioned our need for some of these suggested
standards. There have been land developments that are going to require
road improvement, he said. In his opinion, a traversable road is as loose
as you can get and still say anything.
Supervisor McKillop believes in the sixty-foot road. He thinks the
responsibility of the four-way split should not be left with the Public
Works Department but should be with the Board; this also refers to off-
highway roads. It is his belief that the $200 drainage deposit should
stay in the standards. Supervisor McKillop approves the sixty-foot
traversable right-of-way (except in snoca season) off the public road
and a drainage deposit. He said the off-side road should be the deter-
mination of the Board of Supervisors and that it should be agreed on that
when applicable it should be the determination of the Board whether the
drainage deposit would be $100 or $200. Mr, Chames suggested a fee of no
less than $100 without mentioning a maximum.
On motion of Supervisor McKillop, seconded by Supervisor Reynolds
and carried the wording in Paragraph 4, Page 16, of the proposed resolution
establishing standards be changed to read: "Where individual wells and
septic tanks are to be installed on the same lot, the minimum lut area
should be 12,500 square feet," The Drainage deposit shall be no less than
$100; the access roads shall have 60-foot traversable rights-of-way (except
in snow season; the parcelling and off-side trafficing shall be the
determination of the Board:
