832 (DISCUSSION: REPORT ON PROBLEMS IN THE MENTAL HEALTH TRANSITIONAL LIVING
Dr. Maguire, director of Mental Health, stated that during the
last six weeks there have been a series of six meetings. Last Monday the
subcommittee of the Mental Health Advisory Board met to see if there was
any way to resolve the problem between the local operators and Mrs= Dematteis.
It was not workable. The operators were asked to submit proposals and
this would be done on a competitive bid basis. Dr. Maguire stated that
there was a meeting held last night that involved five members of the
Mental Health Advisory Board, two staff members and two members representing
CARCH. There were six proposals considered including one from Mrs. Dematteis.
The selection committee voted to recommended two proposals: Carleen Barksdale,
a 13-bed and a 6-bed transitional home; Mrs. Josephine Hartje, a 6-bed
transitional home. He was satisified with the process. At this point,
staff has to sit down with the proposed contractors and develop contracts.
There is $55,000 for next year for the transitional living program in the
budget, Dro Maguire stated that Mrs. Barksdale's 13-bed facility-was
a long term facility for the more difficult to manage who require more
supervision, The proposed contractors have requested about $34,000 for
a starter cost.
Tom Boffman, director of Community Living Center, stated that
he Butte County Mental Health Services is submitting an application on
ehalf of Community Living Center. It was on the basis of this proposal
:hat the funds were approved by the state. He felt that if the county
sere not going to use the original proposal, they would run into a few
problems. The intent of the law that was passed by the legislature was to
o to the county agency or a non-profit organization. it was not the
ntent of the legislation to assist in development of private homes.
e wondered whether the state would allow for the remodeling of private
owes at the taxpayers expense. This would be upgrading their homes and
ncreasing the property values. The Board on Marah_2 7, 1979 expressed a
esire to have this type of program. He wondered why the operators in
utte County were not upset in December and January when this plan was
ubmitted to the state.
Chairman Lemke stated that he hoped that these matters had been
nought up during the committee meetings that had been held. As far as
he legal status of the proposal is concerned, this will be left up to
ounty Counsel and Dro Maguire.
Mr. Boffman stated that he will be contacting his attorney as
e felt that a contract was made•and the funds were obtained because of their
roposal. Page 345:> May 22, 1979

'PROVE 1979-80 MENTAL HEALTH PLAN AND BUDGET FOR SUBMISSION TO THE STATE
Dr. Maguire set out the background of the budget at this time.
There have been four revisions of the budget in the last six weeks. This
has always been a problem because they are totally dependent on the level
of state fund so The dependence is becoming more total. He hoped that at
some point there will be a more confirmed and stable funding for the
mental health services. Some time ago, the county developed almost a
complete capacity of providing services. One gap-:-has been the reliance
on the convalescent hospitals. He hoped that long term care facilities will
fill that present gap in services. Many counties are dependent on outside
resources. The phasing down of state hospitals will have an impact on how
much money Butte County will receive. The administration has changed their
position for the next three years and there will be no county money for.
mental health, alcohol and drug programso There will not be state funds
for the $170,000 of county match that was lost and those programs will
not be able to be developed next yearn There will be $100,000 to $119,000
that will be for specific programs. It will not include Rape Crisis and
child services. They may.- be able to improve the 6-bed adolescent
facility to increase it by 13 bedso That is the only prAgram that the
advisory board has recommended that would fit~the money the county might
receive. The loss will be across the hoard.
On motion of Supervisor Wheeler, seconded by Supervisor Winston
and unanimously carried, the 1979-80 Mental Health plan and budget were
approved and the Chairman authorized to sign the plan.
834 (AUTHORIZE CETA TO REIMBURSE RON GRAVES & ASSOCIATES FOR MONEY EXPENDED AS
On motion of Supervisor Wheeler, seconded by Supervisor Moseley
and unanimously carried, CETA was authorized to reimburse Ron Graves &
Associates in the amount of $462.40 for money expended as a result of the
eligibility error.

ACCEPT RECOMMENDATIONS OF CETAC TO INCORPORATE ADDITIONAL FUNDS INTO CURRENT
YEAR GRANT TO BE SPENT ON A FIRST-IN, FIRST-OUT BASIS WITH SIMILAR AMOUNT
TO BE CARRIED TO FY 80
On motion of Supervisor Moseley, seconded by Supervisor Wheeler
and unanimously carried, the recommendation of CETAC to incorporate the
additional $26,479 into the current year grant to be spent on a first-in,
first-out basis with a similar amount to be carried to FY 80 and the
Director authorized to sign. '
ACCEPT RECOMMENDATION OF CETAC TO INCORPORATE TRAINING BEYOND BASIC SKILL
LEVELS AND PROCEED WITH SOLICITATION OF PROPOSALS FOR DEVELOPMENT AND
OPERATION OF TRAINING PROGRAMS FOR PSE PARTICIPANTS.
Jim Rackerby, personnel director, set out the background of
the training programs. This would amount to spending of 10% for training.
This would go up each year until 1981 when the amount would be 22%. The
policies the Board has set in the past are that CETA should not duplicate
existing services available. The request is to authorize a call for
proposals from community colleges and possibly private schools to review
the program and see if it is feasible to go out with.
Chairman Lemke stated that a list of vendors were offered to
CETAC. There are also a number of private organizations offering this
same kind of training. CETAC will take great care in reviewing the vendors
when the proposal is made. Staffrras instructed to come up with ,in the
general concept of CETA ,to increase the training element throughout all of
the titles and to the persons to train someone for a valid position=so
they will be ready to go to work for someone. This is a requirement of the
Department of Labor. Page 346. May 22, 1979
May 22,_1979
Mr. Rackerby stated that there are about 500 participants in
public service in Title VI and 200 in Title VII. Title VI is a hard one
to deal with. It is short-term projects, low pay and there is some form
of training. Hopefully during their experience they will be able to use
a contract to sharpen;. skills. What the Council was referring-to is
taking Title IIB and utilizing that money in jobs_wE'~:ere'.aa is recognized that
its is -more to the advantage of the participant to be trained than to
be placed in a work site.
On motion of Supervisor Wheeler, seconded by Supervisor Winston
and unanimously carried, the recommendation of CETAC regarding the proposal
for training elements of Butte County CETA Program in conjunction with
Public, Service Employment was accepted and approved proceeding with
solicitation of proposals for development and operation of training programs
for PSE participants.

837 IMOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION OF ENDORSEMENT OF JUVENILE DEI,INQUENCX PREVENTION
Discussion of endorsement of the Juvenile Delinquency Prevention
Program grant application held at this time.
Supervisor Winston stated that the problem is that the Superintendent
of Schools has advised that the services are already being performed.
The report talks about February to June the program coordinator will seek
avenues to continue the program. Even though it is not an on-going program
it is talking about on-going funds,
John Foster,, Superintendent of Schools office, stated that the
local support that is mentioned in the project budget was trying to state
there is an office budget that is on-going. This is in the position of
Truant Officer. This project will not be one person trying to accomplish
these goals. It provides services that are very much needed that one
person cannot provide. This project will provide support to the one
position, They have letters of support from the school districts. The
continuance of the program would be at the support of the local school
districts. If the school districts are not able to support the program,
the program will not continue. The results of the program will come back
from the school districts. This program would use any of the programs that
have been used in the past by other agencies that are found to be satisfactory
for the individual involved. They would be working with the person and
doing an assessment and trying to find the problem and giving help.
It was moved by Supervisor Dolan that a resolution of endorsement
for the Juvenile Delinquency Prevention Program be adopted and the Chairman
be authorized to sign.
Motion dies for lack of second.-

Earl Nelson, environmental review director, set out the
background of the environmental impact report. The request is for a
use permit to allow heavy equipment. The EIR was prepared for this and
it indicates potential environmental effects. The use has been on the
property for a number of months and is already there. The effect of the
3enial would be that the use must be removed to comply with the zone
requirements. The main environmental effect is the quest of compatibility
with the neighborhood. It consists of mixed uses. Mr. Nelson set out
the uses at this time. They include a church, single family units,
multiple family units,. mobile homes and one similar use of Modern Garbage,
Re felt that the compatibility question relates to the aesthetics. The
appearance of the site is the question that should be addressed. There
is also concern about the equipment being an attractive nuisance £or
:hildren. .One mitigation measure is a site screening fenced Other
concerns are noise and equipment coming and going.
Bettye Blair, planning director, set out the background of
the use permit. This item was heard by the Planning Commission and denied.
It has been appealed to the Board. The Board has received copies of staff
findings and the minutes and pieces of correspondence that the Planning
Department received prior to and during the commission hearings. She showed
the Board three photos that were submitted at the March 14, 1979 hearings.
The use permit goes with the land and is on-going unless the use is
abandoned. The application did state a mobile home but it is allowed in
the "A-2" zoning and not subject to hearing.
Hearing open to the publico Appearing:
1, Gary Zilaff, Lewis and Zilaff representing Mr. Wells. Mr.
Zilaff stated that Mr. We11s has applied fora permit and has equipment
stored to allow him to improve the land. Mr. Wells is trying to level the
land off. He asked that even if the permit as applied for is not allowed
that the Board allow for a year permit to complete the leveling. This
would improve the surrounding area. He will be calling Mr. Wells and
Robert Guth forward to present testimony on the use permit and the EIR.
Ke will present testimony to show the surrounding property is really just
as shockingo Next door to Mr. Wells is a dry cleaning business and a
corraling operation. There axe pigeon coups. The general area will be
shown to be not aesthetically pleasing. They are asking for a one year
permit to allow Mr. Wells to improve his propertyo
2. Eugene Wells. Mro Wells stated that he was the owner of
the property and had applied for a permit for heavy equipment storage,
Ke intended to improve his propertyo Pictures of the property were
shown to the Board at this time. This shows what has taken place.
These pictures are not intended as evidence. He has a need of the
equipment temporarily. He has started storm drains and has been stopped
by the property owner on the west sided It has come as far as charges
against him. He felt that he could get rid of the equipment in a year.
Mr. Miser runs the corrals. There is a commercial dry cleaning business
next to his property at the present time. He has trucks stored and the
quipment is on his property. The pigeon coups cause odor, flies and
werything else, He felt that he was arbitrarily discriminated against.
Picture entered into evidence at this time.
Mr. Wells stated that the only thing he had to add was that
he did not think he had done the people an injustice. The real estate
agent swore that this was legal and he filled out the application for his
use permit. He was told that he could use the property for this purpose
in the "A-2 limited" with no permit. He would like to clean up his
property to make it presentable. He would like to go ahead. with the drainage
ditch. Page 348. May 22, 1979

3. Robert Guth, civil engineer. Mr. Guth stated that he
prepared the environmental data submitted in the ETR. The main concern
Cs the compatibility of the use.. He submitted a mitigation measure
ghat if the applicatian is granted then one year later the equipment
could have to be removed. The safety problem has been addressed, putting
~ Fence around the storage area. The physical impact of the property is
rather slight. There is quite a variety of land use with Modern Garbage
cot to di$imilar. Improvement of the property could not hurt the aesthetics
~f the area. With the removal of the equipment, he felt that the property
could be improved.
4. Walter Heg®ndorn, Mr. Hagendorn stated that the equipment
ras first placed on the property almost 18 months ago. Mr. Wells has said
that he did not need a permit. He showed the Board pictures of Mr. Wells
property. Aland clearing operation shouldn't take two years to clear one
scre of land which still might be for sale, He is asking for a permit to
store construction equipment. He has moved out but that does not mean
ie cannot move back in. This type of operation does not go with the
neighborhood. He felt that Public Works should take care of the drainage
3itch. The so called commercial operation, cleaning establishment, Mr.
3egendorn felt that at one time this was an in-home rug cleaning operation.
3e has never seen anything objectionable about it.
Mr. Zilaff asked if it was the opinion that he would not be
llowed to cross-examine the witnesses:
Chairman Lemke stated that he would not be allowed to cross-
°xamine, These people are not witnesses.
Mr. Zilaff stated that there is a case that would indicate
lue process is served by allowing cross-.examination of people who testify.
Ael Siemsen, deputy county counsel, stated that the public
learings do not provide for that type of cross-examination. The procedure
Cs if there are questions, they are addressed to the Board and they can
ask the other person.
5. Cedell Miser. Mr, Miser stated that the EI12 was pretty well
stated. The county has allowed this area to be a quiet residential area.
Cnto one lot comes heavy industrial equipment. He submitted pictures
taken a couple of days ago. He asked if this type of equipment was needed
to actually level property. He has not yet filed charges regarding the
storm drainage. Mr. Wells put in a culvert, cut his fence and tore down
trees and put other dirt in there. He went back and put up the fence and
placed a sign that said no trespassing. He cut the fence down again,
3e has no alternative but to have the drainage pipe removed. He submitted
two letters in opposition to the use permit. Imo. Miser stated that he
Sid not ogerate a corral business. He has a stable and. one horse.
6. Althea Miser. Mrs, Miser stated that the neighborhood had
been subjected to an industrial junk yard for nearly two years. Mr. Wells
ias been able to use his property without benefit of a permit. She hoped
that the Board would deny the permit. Mr. Wellst yard is full of pipe,
old rubber tires and a huge crane. There is no way to put a fence high
:nough to cover these.
7. Larry Joe. Mr. Jae stated that he had the same business
as Mr. Wells. He has never had to have his equipment on his home lot in
Paradise. 'He has been able to rent commercial areas. ~Mr, Wells has
said that he needed the equipment to level, his Iot. He has enough
equipment to level a mile of land. He asked. that the area remain residential.

to complete the improvement to his property.

Mr. Castleberry stated that conditions 8 and 9 were the pavement
of Stearns and the extension of DeMille Roads. The condition would have
been 36 or 38 feet. DeNEille Raad is 30 feet. In his judgment, it seems
that between the two roads the pavement widths should be the same to
serve the needse The proposed pavement would be extended along the frontage
of the development,
On motion of Supervisor Dolan, seconded by Supervisor Wheeler
and carried, the appeal was upheld. and the extension of paving for Stearns
and DeMille Road to be the same as the existing paving.

ADOPT RESOLUTION 79-80: PUBLIC HEARING: BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION
PROPOSED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT TO
CHANGE EXISTING "MEDIUM LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL" TO "COMMERCIAL" PROPERTY
iENERALLY DESCRI-BED AS PROPERTY LOCATED ON BOTH SIDES OF CLARK ROAD FROM
k~PROX. 500 FEET SOUTH OF BUSCHMANN ROAD, TO A DEPTH OF APPROX. 1,300 FEET,
QARADISE
The public hearing on the Butte County Planning Commission
proposed negative declaration and General Plan Land Use Map Amendment to
change existing "medium low density residential" to "Comiriercial" property
generally described as that property located on both sides of Clark Road
from approximately 500 feet south of Buschmann Road, to a depth of
approximately 1,300 feet, Paradise was held as advertised.
Earl Nelson, environmental review director, set out the background
of the negative declaration. The environmental effects relate primarily
Page 350. May 22, 1979

b
_ _ _ _ _ Ma~22i1979LL y ~ _ _ _ ~ _ _ _ ~ _ ~ ~ ~ ,~ ~ -
to the uses. Actually much of the area•~as developments approved on it.
There are 83 acres in the proposal. It is a mixture of uses. He recommended
a negative declaration. This area does not appear to be environmental
sensitive. The main concerns relate to traffic increases and drainage.
It appears that the facilities can be constructed to take care of the
drainage. The traffic will be handled if needed. There was a letter from
CALTRANS stating they were not going to improve the road.
Bettye Blair, planning director, set out the background of the
General Plan amendment. This was generated by the Board of Supervisors
as a result of a November, 1977 petition requesting commercial zoning.
The Board ref0rred it to the Planning Commission and they initiated
hearings for a General Plan amendment. She set out the areas involved
in the amendment, She suggested that this matter be incorporated with
the hearing that is being held on the Land Use Element and map. There
are several requested General Plan amendments that could be incorporated
if the Land Use Element hearing were to continue too long. Heinke's
property is outside of the area.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing:
1. Lou Mariotti. Mro Mariotti stated that he also ~-owned
property in Graig Mooretown. That hearing has been going on for over
six years. The people in the area have been trying since November, 1977
to get the Clark Road area rezoned. Tt has been an effort to get going
and now there is a request for a delay.
2, Dorothy Hilmer. Mrs. Hilmer stated that she owns six acres
on Clark Road. She was told to put in a road and a parcel map for the
acreageo .She has now been waiting for two years for this rezoning to
take place. She asked that this amendment be approved,
3o Clint Bennett. Mr. Bennett stated that the area is
probably commercial through the application of use permits. Since there
is no controversy for the property going commercial, it is hurting the
people at this time to hold the rezoning up.
Hearing closed to the public and confined to the Board,
Chairman Lemke set out the reason that the request was made
to include this proposed amendment with the other one being considered
at this time.
On motion of Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Moseley
and unanimously carried, finding the proposed project could not have a
significant effect on the environment, a negative declaration was accepted.
On motion of Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Moseley
and carried, finding that through one-half of the calendar year the county
has used none of the General Flan changes and noting that in 1978 the
county used only two and noting several will be used in one change and
finding that the proposed map change from "medium low density residential"
to "commercial" is in keeping with the existing uses in the area and to the
benefit of the public in general the General Plan Land Use Map amendment
to change existing "medium low density residential" to "commercial"
property generally described as that property located on both sides of
Clark Road from apgroximately 500 feet south of Buschmann Road, to a
depth of approximately 1,300 feet, Paradise was approved; with the finding
that the change in the mag is keeping with the text of the existing
change of the land use element as well as other elements; Resolution 79-80

DISPOSITION OF EHMAN HOUSE REFERRED TO COUNSEL FOR THE PREPARATION OF
NECESSARY LEGAL DOCUMENTS TO AFFECT TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OF THE EHMLiN
PROPERTY TO THE BUTTE COUNTY HTSTE3RICAL SOCIETY
Lorna Barth, Butte County Historical Society, was present to
discuss the disposition of the Ehman House.
Chairman Lemke stated that the Board had received an appraisal
from the assessor on the Ehman House at a total of $30,000 full cash value;.
with land, $16,000 and improvements, $I4,000.~ The Board has received a
letter from the Oroville Code Enforcement Officer regarding what would have
to be done to bring the house up to standard. it is basically sound but
needs extensive repairs.
Supervisor Winston felt that the property should be held in
trust for the benefit of all the people. He wondered if the preservation
of the home and granting to the Butte County Historical Society would
be more beneficial to the people than the $30,000. The Historical Society
has done volunteer work and he felt that it wa"s a worthwhile gesture to
see that they receive the Ehman House as a possible museum and headquarters.
On motion of Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Moseley
and unanimously carried, the matter was referred to Counsel to prepare
the necessary legal documents to affect the transfer of ownership of the
Ehman property to the Butte County Historical Society.

meeting Mr. Richard De1k from the Department of Labor was presento They
discussed the problems the county is facing in implementing GETA. The

May 22, 1979
SwouldWtake, the cost would not come back to~the^county as an unapproved
cost. There are two areas that should be handled this way: 1). property
damage and personal liability for CETA workers; 2) proposals for outstationing.
The solutions for these areas would be: 1) authorize a letter to the
Department of Labor and have the Risk Management Coordinator call for
bids for personal liability and property damage; 2) put the employees on
the county payroll and position to other areas.
On motion of Supervisar Dolan, seconded by Supervisor Moseley

PUBLIC HEARING: BUTTE COUNTY PLESNNING COMMISSION - DRAFT EIR AND GENERAL
PLAN LAND USE ELEMENT - CONTINUED TO MAY 29,_1979 AT 2:00 P.M.
The public hearing on the Butte County Planning Commission
draft environmental impact report and General Plan Land Use Element was
held as continued.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing:.
1. Bernice Stanhope, Oroville Board of Realtors. Ms. Stanhope
stated that after hearing all the pros and cons on the issue it is her
opinion that one of the major differences of opinion is based on the fact
that the Land Use Element text is based a great deal on environmental
concerns and the map is more liberal in concepto The map had to be like
it is to conform to the present zoning. There is merit to start from
inside and build out with planning. It will not be difficult to keep
the county from having leap frogging due to the fact there is limited
water and sewage disposal. The area is basically rural. The rural
residential will serve as a buffer between agriculture and urban and still
allow people to live in a rural atmosphere. There are 25 rural counties
facing the same problems. She did not feel that the plan should be for
20 years because planning is an~ever changing process. This should be
updated every five years. Ms. Stanhope asked that the Board form a
committee to study the proposed amendment and bring a report back to
the Board.
2. Jack Bryson. Mr. Bryson stated that the Concow area has
just recently Formed an association. Rural residential fits their needs.
The committee is studying a small area for commercial. In the future,
they will probably have something along Concow Road.

Mr. Bryson to arrange meeting for.5upervisor Winston to attend.
3, Nicholas Garzia, Grubbs Road. Mr. Garzia stated that under
the proposed amendment, out of the 1712 acres he owns about 1,450 acres'
fall into the rural residential. He felt that his entire property should
have been in one classification. He felt that this was an appropriate
classification-for his land. He raises cattle and it is very difficult
not to have to feed them additionally during the winter.
Supervisor Winston stated that on page 29 of the text where
it is talking about policy under population growth there is a statement
under policy B to designate adequate land for free market. On page 30
under orderly development they are talking about encouraging annexation
and development around a community with facilities. There is a conflict
with the two statements.
Kyle Butterick, planning department, stated that the policy
should be looked at and evaluated collectively. There will be some apparent
conflicts.
Dr. Frank Bennett, chairman Planning Commission, stated that
he could not see what holding additional meetings by a committee could
accomplish. There is a need to drake a decision.
The hearing was continued to May 29, 1979 at 2:00 p,m,

TO THE WELFARE DEPARTMENT AQ~I~iT'T~TLE>X~t SOCIAL SERVICES PROVTDTNG
TRt3NSFER WILL NOT BE MLiDE UNTIL DEMAND B`Z WELFARE DIRECTOR
Bob Crisan,.uielfare director, stated that he had sent to the
Board a memo in which he indicated the placement of counties as to need and
how Butte County was not included in the eleven highest needy counties.
He felt that this could be resolved after-the meeting in Senator Johnson's
office. If they continue to strive toward placing Butte County in a
favorable needy position the excess funding which always occurs at the end
of the year will put Madera and Butte Counties up on top, The state has
never closed the fiscal year until after September. They would not
reject Butte County's claim until after that time. The amount needed is
$41,000 total. The eleven counties on the list are not even near Butte
County's needso The licensing amount is not to be included.

DISCUSSION: PROPOSED STATEMENT RE: ARB CHARGES AGAINST JOE BANDY
Discussion of the proposed statement regarding the ARB's charge
against Joe Bandy, agricultural commissioner, held at this time.
Supervisor Winston stated that the statement was particulaxly
a Apropos particularly to the 2,000 acre fire burning in the canyon, the
tole burning and the other areas they were burning. Yet, some way in
the ARB's.ma$ic system they funneled the smoke through some filters and
determined all of the smoke was coming from rice burning. Their refusal
to talk with Mr. Bandy was despicable. He has received a letter from
Dr. Rolland Hauser, meterologist CSUC, stated that for reasons cited
in the preceding paragraphs-the report from ARB does not .present meterolcgical
verification of wind patterns that caused smoke from rice burning to
impact on the Sacramento and Say areas in his opinion. The information
in the report is grossly insufficient to corrolate public complaints.
