PRE PA RATI O N
T e fo lowing statement was presented by Chairman Winston regarding
Proposition 13 lmplementation preparation:
"As you know, Proposition 13 (Jarvis-Gann Amendment) was approved by
the voters of the State of Califamia on June 6, 1978, Presently the Governor
and State Legislature are formulating plans to provide some relief for units of local
govemment. At this time we do now know how much Butte County .govemment will
be assisted or in what specific areas, if any. Even with action. taken by the state,
there is a very good chance that some local services may have to be reduced or curtailed.
In order to plan for al! eventualities, the Board of Supervisor's are enlisting
your support and your input. Initially, we have asked the Administrative Officer to
work with each department to formulate a coordinated report of priorities in the
services provided by each department. The report should identify priorities of service
from the lowest to the highestsf It should show the ramifications of staff reductions, services
and supplies reductions, equipment reductions, and resulting property tax savings.
We realize a report of this nature is not generated overnight and requires
a diligent effort on behalf of all of us. However, we would like you to give some
thought to your department's priorities L~Fore receiving specific instructions from the
Administrative Officer. Robert A. Winston

of the Townsite of Feather Falls, containing 12 square miles, more or less. This
was continued from the- March 14, 1978 meeting. '
Chairman Winston stated that due to the lateness of the preparation of the
Environmental Impact Report, and because the Board had been advised by County
Counsel that this should. be referred back to Planning Commission for their consideration
of the E.I.R., this hearing will have to be continued to August 8, 1978.
Earl Nelson, environmental review. director, commented that a lot of
useful date had been gathered that will be helpful in coming up with a decision
for the zoning in this area.
Hearing opened to the public an the E.I.R. only. Appearing:,
1. Mr. Bnjno Wojcik, Mooretown Road. They feel that this matter has
been dragging on for the fast 4# years. He felt that the preparation of the E.I.R,
was a waste:of the taxpayers money. The E.I.R.. was not clear as far as he was
concerned, The group that Mr. Wojcik represents are requesting that the Board
take action at this time: page 498.
June 13, 1978
', Supervisor Richter stated that the law requires that the Board send this matter
back to Planning Commission .
', Mr. Wojcik felt the Board should find a way to speed up this matter.
He stated that it has taken 3 months to prepare this E.I.R. The County now
is referring this back to Planning Commission and continuing the hearing for
', another two months. He again requested that the Board take action at this time.
Chairman Winston stated that whether the Boardiliked it or not,
they were governed by strict guide lines. This E.I.R. has to go down to the
Clearing House for review. The Board cannot take action at this time. He
assured the people in the audience that this Board would take action on August 8,
if the Board has to listen all day to statements made by the audience.
Also appearing:
1. Mr. L'. P. Larson, EI Cerrito. He asked why the Board could not
use other E.1. R.'s that have been approved for the area. Request that the
Board take action at an early date.
Z Mr. C,;.J, Buchanon. Spoke in opposition to the continuance of
this matter.

these people in the area had; they have requested that action be taken but instead
this is to be continued for another two months.
4. Mr. Conrad Springer, Danviller Cplifomia. Stated he had driven
up here this m.oming in the hope that there would be a speedy resolving of the facts.
He hoped that the August 8th, 1978, meeting would settled the matter. Stated he
had read the E, 1. R. and the sd:bstance of it boils down to:
I, New zoning should be done for the area"
2. If more people would move in to the area, there would be more
development, there would be more litter that goes with people. More people
means less ruralness.
Mr. Springer stated that people are camping on other people's property;
this is going on all over the area. He felt that there were no material facts to
help the Board reach a conclusion. The County should not be dominated by the
people that are transcient. He urged the Board to adopt some thought of what
the people iri that area desire.
Chairman Winston stated that he thought some logical zoning should be
placed on the property in the above area. He apologized to those that-have
traveled so far fot this hearing. The next step is to refer the E. I, R. back to
Planning and he again assured the people that the Board would reach a decision
', of the meeting on August 8, 1978.
Mr. John Luvaas, attorney at law, representing a large number of
', the residents m that area, stated that it-was unfortunate that people in favor of
the CMR rezone were not informed of the continuance of the hearing. People
do not understand the procedure of this. Process explained, He spoke concerning
the EoI.R. and the rezoning. He stated that it would take time for the Clearing
House to clear the E.I.R.. The staff i@ira~gq have to spend considerable time on

this matter. The staff should be given the time that they wilt need. They will
have to devote a couple of evening meetings to this rezone. Chairman Winston
assured -him that there will be a decision made on August 8, 1978; Board members
supported this statement.
