He stated that they are quite as improvement over their former offices. Mr. Leach stated that he hoe no disagreement with the citation process, however he feels that the Board should consider that the citation process is e criminal procedure. Mr. Leech explained that hie office reviews all the reyuesta for misdeameanors in Oroville and Chico. Tn the citation process, if they are not reviewed, there could be problems in having the evidence and it might result is not being able to process the matter at all. Mr. Leash fe1C that regulatory matters of this type are more properly handled by the civil provesa, unless it is sa extreme case. He feels to simply blanket this with the citation process for technical violations is going to get the County into trouble. He also stated that in using the civil process, if a remedy is not foxthcomiag, there is always the criminal process to tuna to. Rowever, Mr. Leach stated that his office will cooperate fully with whichever method is decided upon by the Board. Supervisor Cameron stated that his objection to the method used now ie that sometimes the matter will continue for as long as nix months and he feels something should be done to stop the violations as soon as they are spotted. Mr. Leach agreed that the time lag is unfortunate but he stated that there is morn involved that just seeing a violation. The zoning impactor would have to collect evidence ea the violation; seeing a violation does not constitute sufficient ~ evidence. The matter would have to be investigated sufficiently. This is one reason Mr. Leach ie hesitant about the citation process. Whoever writes the citations must be very knowledgable is legal matters. Mr. Leach stated that in the past, his office has written letters to people who are violating the zoning. This is a warning notice. He said many times this letter takes care of the matter. Also, if the vimlatioa should go to court on a criminal basis, it might go on for up to 60 days due to continuances, etc. Supervisor Richter suggested having the violator being held responsible for the fees far the whole legal process. Mr. Blackatock emphasized that the zoning inspector should not be held responsible far doing other department's work. He stated that the Health Department should take care of the health violations and not the zoning inspector. He cited an example of a violation in Paradise. Page 384.

Supervisor Cameron stated that there have been times when geople ignore the warnings and continue with the violations. These are the cases he wants.lto avoid. Mr. Leach agreed that when the violation is creating a health hazard, the violation should be stogped immediately. Chairman Ladd stated that he feels, from listening to County Counsel and the District Attorney, that the process being used by the county now is the best solution to these problems. Mr. Leach stated that if County Counsel feels there is a serious problem, the information can be sent to their office and they will proceed. Ae suggested setting up an administrative process between the two offices to handle Cheae matters. Supervisor Madigan felt this was an excellent idea. Supervisor McTCillop also suggested that the Board members take on the responsibility of informing the two offices of violations they have noted or have been told about. Mr. Leach stated that any case that goes to County Counsel that needs prasecutiaa can be sent to their office on a memo and they will handle it fxom there. No action taken at this time on an amendment to the ordinance. 75-939 APPROVED TE[~ORARX FUNDING FOR LEGAL ADVISOR TO LAW ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM Mr. Leach stated that the Governor has shut off funds for the legal advisor to Law Enforcement Program. Mr. Lesch stated he feels this program has been moderately successful. There have been several problems in setting up the program sad he credits Mr. Robison for the success o£ the program. He stated that except for Mr. Robison, Ehe program would have failed. Mr. Leach feels the law enforcement program needs this because of the complexity of the laws. Nr. Leach requested that the Board of Supexvieora fund the program only until a definite~ideciaion i6 reached in Sacramento. Chairman Iadd stated that he had opposed this program in the beginning because Iaw enforcement personnel he had discussed this with had felt it was a waste of time and money. However, he has recently talked to many of the same people about the program and they are definitely in Eavor of it and feel they are receiving a benefit from thin program. Mr. Nickelson stated that if the funding is not approved by the state, this would be a bigger tax burden on the people of the County. He feels that the Board should look very closely at this time before approving it. Supervisor Richter stated that it was very important for the law ~cnforcement personnel to be informed about the correct procedures, etc. Mr. Nickelson felt that the training programs should be filling,thie obligation. Mr. Leach stated that the training program cannot cover everything, especially with laws changing and being so complex as they are today. The present funds for this program runs out on June 13. This program is 5070 local hard match in the amount of $17,118. On motion of Supervisor Madigan, seconded by Supervisor Richter and unanimously carried, the Hoard approved funding far the Legal Advisor to Law Enforcement Program for a period of 30 days pending state action oa funding, with the matter to be looked at again at the end of the 30 days, if necessary, Page 3B5.

Mr. Aisthorpe stated that his client has no objections to the project if it will be for curbs and gutters only. Gwen Glover, Pater Pan Day School, stated that she is still undecided on the project since she does not know all the facts as to what she will be paid for her right-of-way and items of this nature.

Chairman Ladd felt that time should not be spent transporting foxes, raccoons and animals that do very little harm. He feels the effort should be put forth on the real problem causers. Mr. Karose stated they would welcome the supervisors to attend the meetings he has with Mr. Mackesey to get input as to what their wishes are.

They have received an allocation of service funds which is not adequate to cover mandated programs. He feels that the work done by the Children's Home Sooiety has been excellent and is needed but they just do not have the funds to continue with the contract. Even though this is a mandated service at the state level, the state has not stated that the service will be taken over at that level. If the contract is cancelled at this time, it would probably be about two years before the state took the adoption service over. Mr. Crisan has written a letter to the Health Director's office regarding this matter but has received no answer. Mr. Crisan stated that the contract could be continued with the understanding that the county funds might need to be used whey the service funds run out. Ed Ottinger, head of the district board of the Children's Home Society, gave the Board a summary of what has been accomplished to date. They have placed severai children in permanent homes. He stated that if anything happens, the program should be expanded instead of abandoned. Dr. Lou Oliver stated that approximately 40 children have beenneturaed to the private sector and ao longer are a burden an the county. He feels the program has more than justified its existence. He also stated that iC is not the policy of the state to go into counties of this size with these services. He feels that the best utilization of the resources is through the Children's Home Society. Mr. Crisan stated that the state fa mandated to provide adoption services but not all counties have them as some private agencies have taken over. He again stated that they just do hot have the funds to continue the contract. Chairman Ladd suggested that the state representatives be contacted to see why the county is not receiving the services. Ik was stated that this caatract ends at the end of the fiscal year. Supervisor Richter stated that the children should be the consideration in Chia matter and sot necessarily Che money. On motiaa of Supe rvisor Richter, seconded by Supervisor Madigan and carried, the Board continued the contract with the Childress Home Society, with Funding to be paid by the County if funds are not forthcoming from the state and that the state representatives are to be contacted to try and get the funds from the state.

This matter has been through LAFCo. Mr. Blackstock explained that this is a service area and is to be distinguished from a fire protection district, which has its awn board of directors, etc. The Board of Supervisors maintain8 control in a service area. The county provides apeciel services and the people are charged for these services in a service area. Supervisor Richter questioned as to why this area was not included in the Paradise Fire Protactioa District. Mr. Blackstock stated that the district did not want to extend its boundaries. Rearing opened to the public. Appearing: Clyde Han, officer in the DeSabla Community Fire Department.

Willard Shinners, 1Jpper Ridge Counsel. He feels the volunteer group does a fine job- but that they need another fire station. They would like to see a study on a countywide service area for fire protection. Vera Hamlin, Magalia, questioned about tax funds from mobile homes as opposed to conventional homes. Mr. Fitzsimmons, Paradise Pines Property Owners Association. Re questioned about the ballot as Mr. Blackstock had stated that the service area would go to an election. The actual rate amount will be an the ballot; this will be the maximum rate allowable under law. Mr. Fitzsimmons stated that everyone in the area contributes $S per year toward the volunteer department and stated that he would continue to do so ao matter what. Re also stated that the taxes paid by mobile home owners is comparable to that of conventional homes. L.C. Steals, appeared against having to pay taxes for the district. Roland Williamson, Magalia, asked if there was another area is the county that is under a eervice area and is taxed. There axe districts but no service areas. However, the fire protection districts moat pay taxes for the district. Mr. Williamson felt it would not be possible to have an equitable tax for both mobile homes and conventional homes. Discussion of mobile home tax laws. Supervisor Cameron stated that in the next few years, there will probably be changes in the laws regarding mobile home taxes. Les Alliaon, Magalia, questioned about the tax rate, which he stated has went from 20~ to 74'¢. Caxl Lindstrom, Magalia, stated that there are fire plugs in the area already.

Supervisor Cameron stated that the fire department: there does a fine job. He explained the meeting that had been held to help the people establish some form of fire protection. He stated that he had had indications that the geople in the area wasted to form a service area. He explained that they would be able to vote on the matter and that revenue sharing funds had been set aside for a firehouse.

The timber mountain classification is intended for those areas which have value as timber producing areas, watershed areas, scenic areas, recreational areas and areas which by their character and particular topography require special treatment and protection to mitigate potential damage. Residential development in these areas should be confined to areas where the topography of the land will allow a minimum amount of damage by way of erosion, sil- tation, surface and ground water pollution or the destruction of scenic and historical areas. Density should he considered on the basis of these factors and weighed against alternate use of the areas for timber produc- tion, recreation and watershed protection. ~ ~__ Page 397. 3une 3, ig35 r"` June 3, 1975 r r r s r e s ri s s s s s as s s s a s ~e s s s o r r r r a e s s e e r r r s r Zoned A-R & A-3 Barbara Hoff, AP 36-22-22, 4 lots, adjacent to Foothill G.P. 1-4 du/ac Slvd., nprth of bower Wyandotte, Aroville.
