77-1286 HEARING; AREA AGENCY ON AGING
Rozia Kahn, E.O. .Director, spa a to the Board concerning organizational
concepts and grant application procedures for the Area Agency on Aging. Since a
grant application will to be forwarded to the State Department on Aging before July 1,
several policy decisions will be requested. Ms. Kahn stated that some time ago
the Board applied to the State Board of Aging; the designation has not been given
to the Board of Supervisors.
A group of people have been put together and they have come up with a
Council on Aging.
Harlan Adams, Chico, temporary Chairman for the Council, spoke at this time.
Explained senior citizens needs. The County should make use of the funds. He
suggested that the Board authorize a Butte County Council of Senior Citizens to
serve as an advisory council. The senior citizens are gathering together in small
groups that are meeting monthly. At a meeting last month a committee was appointed
to draw up by-laws and out-line for the grant. Activity of this council set out.
Mr, Adams recommended that the Board approve the immediate program to make use
of the funds and to approve the organization of a senior citizen council.
Appointment to the council discussed. Chairman Richter suggested that the
Board each appoint a member from their district to represent the aging. Selection
of members to the council explained.
Council membership discussed.
Mr. Jerry Hughes, General Manager of Chico Recreation and Park District, set
out the District's endorsement of the formation of this council. He feels that the
money should be for the low income aged. Mr. Hughes Felt the Board should be
more concerned about the establishment of the committee than the availability of
the funds. The committee appointed should be a committee to assess the needs
of the senior citizens that is growing in this County. The committee should
have the status of advising this Board.
Mr. Neil Harris, Director of Senior Information for i~tired Citizens set out
his views concerning this council. He questioned whether the E.O.C. Director
should be the coordinating link with the Board. A lot of the senior citizens do not
want to be designated as low income citizens. The Board informed him that Ms. Kahn
could be called the Coordinator of the Senior C[tizens Committee on Aging.
Mrs. Dorothy Paradis:,. Oroville, stated she was not a senior citizen but
that her husband was a senior citizen. She Felt that the people of the wunty elected
the Supervisors and the Supervisors should have the obligation of designating the person
from his districF to sit on this council.
Mr. Hal Bishop, Chico, President of Sons in Retirement, was chairman of the
committee that drew up the by-laws. He explained how the by-laws had been set up.
Ms. Cindy Flint, adult center supervisor in Paradise. She stated that there
pre quite a few active adult groups throughout the County. She feels that the senior
citizens that are active should be represented on the council.
Hearing closed to the public and confined to the Board.

Supervisor Vlrnston urged the board to look with approval on this effort; it
is a move in the right direction.
It was felt that the Board should approve the formation of the council. A
county employee should be designated as a laison between the people and this Board.
It was suggested thot Razia Kahn be designated to act as such (aison. Action to
be taken set out.
Chairman Richter stated he would ~[ke ro read the by-laws prior ro
taking action. He requested that action be postponed two weeks.
77-1267 PUBLIC ItEARINGi CSESTER SMI?H APP~AI, OF CONDITION REIATING 'IO A
DEPOSIT TO COVER ROAR ~ROV6i~ffit'PSs 1tIR13 PROTECTION AND STORM DitAINAGE
ON A CERTIFICATE OF OOMPLIANCE GRANTED FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE
SOUTiiEAST CORNER OF MERIDAN AND MUNJAR ROADS, NORTH OF CHIGO, AP 47-22-50
AND DISCUSSION: MERIDIAN-MUNJAR ROAD AREA DEVELOPMENT F$E ESTT34ATE.
The continued public hearing of Chester Smith appeal of condition
relating to a deposit to cover road improvements, fire protection sad storm
drainage on a certificate of compliance granted for property located on
the southeast corner of Meriden and Munjar Roads, north of Chico, AP 47-22-50
was held as continued.
Clay Castleberry, Public Works Director, stated thaC hie office
had come up with a figure estimate that would put in the improvements.
This would be for drainage and road improvements on Munjar Road. The cost
for Munjar Road would be approximately $10 per running foot. This would
be divided on the two sides making it a figure of $5 per running foot for
frontage on Munjar Road. The cost for drainage would be $110 per acre.
There is a need for proper drainage and the road improvements. There
are 143 parcels in this area.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing: Jefferson Brows,
Attorney representing Mr. sad Mra. Smith. Mr. Brown stated that the
Smiths own 10 acres with 300-foot frontage on Munjar Road. The resulting
coat would be about $2,700. The coat for paving Munjar Road puts the
burden on the people who own frontage on Munjar Road and not the people
having prdvstpe:•easements to Munjar. The people who are having to pay
the casts are the victims of the illegal lot splitting. Mr. Brown stated
that he would like to see the Board take action and that the coat be
reduced and shifted equally to the land owners.
Supervisor Winston stated that all parts of the County should
ba treated e;quAljy. The Board was not asked to form an assessment
district for the Oroville area. The people involved in the illegal lot
splitting should be asked to make amends. Supervisor Winston stated
that he had several questions that he would send directly to the District
Attorney for aaswera.
Chairman Richter stated that the Consumer Protection Agency
has s very good record. There have been more revenue and more civil penalties
~alleeted. There are areas where•CheDistrict Attorney's office can
ace and there are places they cannot. This is being done to protect
the public and the honest subdividers as well.
Supervisor Howley stated that she had seen the word plea
bargaining gaits a lot. '.

that the Board owes the purchaser any assitance that can be gives and the
law should be applied equally throughout the county.
