Consideration of the request for authoxization to apply for funding
of_marijuana field eradication was held as continued from earlier in the
meeting.
914
Lt, Bob Shadley, Sheriff's Department, stated the request for
funding must go to the Drug Enforcement Administration in Sacramento by
Wednesday or the funding will be dropped,
Supervisor Dolan stated last year on a 3 to 2 vote they did not
get the funding. She questioned how much did it cost and if they did get
the $5,000, how much would be used locally.
Lt. Shadley stated the funds would go for extra help or overtime.
The funds cannot be used for anything else. They only concentrate on
marijuana eradication for 32 months from June 1 to the middle of Septembero
This is in the area of fields not residents. He started with the program
in 1974. Last year they seized<:c:°,~;:~ 102 ton. It was valued at around
$13 million. They make approximately 84 raids or inspections. This is
approximately 40 percent of the cost. The match side is only 10 percent,
They have gotten about 85 to 90 percent of convictions. Lt. Shadley stated
his personal feelings were that law enforcement will keep on the problem,
but they can not solve it. They just try to keep a lid on it.
Supervisor Wheeler stated she was very supportive of it, It is
a very important tool. This is the prime growing season. From marijuana
people go into higher drugs. Maybe it is just one small step.
There was a motion by Supervisor Wheeler to authorize the Sheriff
to apply for grant funding from the Drug Enforcement Administration for
the purpose of locating and eradicating illicit marijuana fields in the
county.
Supervisor Saraceni questioned if a number of counties could pool
the money and if that would be a significant way of getting to the heart
of it at one time. Page 393.

Sheriff how to run the program.
Supervisor Wheeler asked the Board to consider this very carefully.

drug center. She does not like that because of small children being
exposed to this problem.
Supervisor Saraceni stated he felt the idea of trying to put this
together was good. He felt possibly a letter could be sent regarding this.
He felt the funds could be better used by putting it into a lump sumo

941
Supervisor Saraceni reported on the numerous meetings that has
been held with the City of Oroville regarding the Oroville Redevelopment
Agency.
Dan Blackstock, county counsel, set out the background on the
meetings. They discussed the proposed redevelopment area and iheluded -
the entire city limits looking at problems that face the county, The
committee was concerned about the future ability to fund services of the
people in the entire area, They discussed several alternatives for future
county funding for services. There was no percentage of tax increment
funds, Normally when you review an area it is in one tax code. It was
almost a nightmare to determine the tax code. There was no other way
it could be accomplished. In the afternoon session the discussion went
around going to a lesser percentage of the total tax increment for the
entire redevelopment area. It is the entire city limits of Oroville.
They are talking about terms of 9.05 percentage which is approximately
one half of what the redevelopment area was not formed and half of what
the county would normally receive. fihey are talking about tax increments,
that amount of increase or assessed valuation of this area where it will
occur throughout the City of Oroville. Time will be critical. Mr.
Blackstock stated Supervisor Saraceni is to obtain a report from the
County Auditor and what he would estimate in terms of dollars in establishing
what they would be receiving in the future. The City plans on waiving
the first reading of their ordinance on Wednesday evening., If the Board
is agreeable the preparation o£ an agreement would be done Procedurally
he would recommend that the~Board`s decision be made by next week so they
could approve the agreement and advice the City it is under study and
forthcoming.
Mayor D'Arcy stated he appreciated the cooperation from the
county, This was discussed in three meetings. It was impossible to use
the tax code areas. The City of Oroville plans to use the funds for their
industrial area to increase the assessed valuation of a particular area and
want to exempt any increment from going to the county. 1The county did not
think that was equitable, so they included the entire city, He feels the
development or industrial area will far exceed the 18 percent of what the
county would get. He questioned if they should renegotiate the agreements
after a period of three years for review. Dealing with any redevelopment
area they should deal with the same termso

RECESS: 11:33 a.m. .
RECONVENE: 11:45 a.m.
Supervisor Wheeler stated she felt it was a better-way to deal
with the whole process. In her original recommendation which was approved
the Environmental Review Department would be combined under the Planning
Director. Staff has prepared an ordinanceo It would change the classification
but there was no salary change, The title would be Environmental Review
Coordinator. At this time she did not recommend changing the Environmental
Health section but to Environmental Health meet the needs of all of its
other activities specifically relative to land division. She would ask
that direction be given to Dro Svihus. She has met with Dr. Svihus and
that effect is being carried forwardo She did not recommend the addition
of staff people primarily because of budget constraints and she does not
think they need them. The fees would not need to be increased. She
would like staff to provide better methods of coordination of progress.
The other changes were set out at this time>
There was a motion by Supervisor Wheeler, seconded by Supervisor
Dolan, the following recommendations be approved as they will provide a
better means of processing maps and other divisions; it will provide benefits
not only to those in the industry but to all of the taxpayers of Butte
County:
1. The Environmental Review Department be combined with and
under the direction of the Planning Department, staff has prepared the
necessary ordinance;
2. Eorr, the present time the Environmental Health Department
not be combined with the Department of Public Works, ask ~. ,..,. _
tkat___ policy direction be that the Environmental Health Department
examine its operation for providing the service to meet the needs of not
only its other activities but those specifically related to land division.
That Dr. Svihus work with the Public Works and Planning Departments in
the analysis of his process to provide that service for which a need has
been expressed in the report and the hearings. The process has commenced
in that discussions of coordinating activities to allow the building
inspectors to make spetic tank installations inspections. It will produce
what we all desire and preserve the integrity of the Environmental Health
Department and that we should give this a trial;
3. The Board not hire additional staff people in view of current
budget considerations, this would eliminate the need for increasing the
fees and that staff is directed to provide better methods of coordination
to pinpoint project progress or to determine where that progress has
stopped and further that the staff organize the systems of processing to
allow a developer or his engineer knowledge of where the project is and
whether the county process or an outside factor might be affecting the
project status. Once this is achieved staff should report back to the
committee and the Board;
4. The Committee be given the appreciation of the Board and
ask them to continue to serve not only the industry but the people of
Butte County to review and update the ordinances and standards affecting -
this industry. The Committee be expended to broaden its interests and
representation and further that it be charged with providing ordinance
amendments that will not only be appropriate for the industry but that
will provide answers and solutions caused by the developments being affected,
The Committee will serve at the pleasure of the Board 'and could have items
referred to them for opinions and recommendations at any time, l~Iembers
must be qualified to serve by virture of their background and experience
relevant to land development and/or planning. Committee is allowed to set

its own meeting schedule to handle its activities as it deems appropriate,
Recognizing the contribution of time and talent yet does not add another
possible step to the process. Further that the Committee review and prepare
a report of the development process and present to the Board on a semi-
annual basis. Progress of the Committee should also be subject to review
by the Board on a semi-annual basis. This being the most constructive and
economical way to proceed yet it recognizes the contributions of this Committee
and is the best way to accomplish our goalso
5. Items for immediate consideration by Land Aevelopment Committee:
a. Fire standards.
b, Cul-de-sac lengths.
c. Study road standards for appropriate density and location
of lots and parcels.
d, Recommend to Board means of allowing development while
solving or making sure of solving drainage problems in foreseeable future.
e. Recommend appropriate time for requiring drainage main-
tenance districts as development occurs.
Supervisor Dolan stated she would like the committee to provide
Environmental Review Guidelines.
Mr. Colby stated he was supportive of item 2, and 3. Item 4
he would like to see the word "charged" changed to "provide". Did the
Board intend for them to make reports on Department Heads?.
Supervisox Wheeler stated she did not think they would have to
include that,
Mr. Colby stated the committee felt very strongly about the
establishment of the two entities under one depaxtment, They agree with
not hiring additional people. He felt maybefthey should have a moratorium
for six months and then report back their xecommendationo He felt it was
a political hot potatoe. He did not think it would help the process when
one department head did not know who they were answering to.
Supervisor Wheeler stated her motion was very clear. This has
been discussed with prior Boards. Staff did a study and this was recommended,
In California Santa Barbara and Butte Counties are the only ones which have
seperate departments.
Supervisor Dolan stated she felt there would be a small amount of
confusion, She felt there was going to be reorganization. Since she has
been on the Board she has felt they, should be combined and the time has
arrived and it is appropriate and well thought of,
Clif Mickelson, administrative officer, set out the background on
the formation of the Environmental Review Department, There was a different
Planning Airector at that times He did not have staff to do it. They were
not properly trained. At this time Supervisor Richter chose to get a full
blown Environmental Review Director and away from Planning, At ane time
there was a proposal to combine part of Public Works.
Chairman Moseley stated it was not that efficient, She felt it
has become a political football.
Supervisor Wheeler stated they have the knowledge of the areas _
where appeals are coming to the Board. The Committee can take them and
make suggestions. They can refer items to them for reports back,
