TO PROVIDE SECURITY FOR FAIRS
Jae a gen c ,secretary-manager, of the Butte County Fair, has
requested time for himself and Sheriff Gillick to discuss security at the 1975 Fair,
and a proposed agreement with the Sheriff to provide such security.
Sheriff Gillick felt there was a problem in this matter„ that should
ba thrashed out. The problem is policing fairs and other such functions. Over thirty years
ago the Board of Supervisors told him to take care of these functions and he has been
doing this. This year the County Fair in Gridley offered a contract for the policing of
the Couery Fair in the amount of $3,500. Sheriff Gillick said he could utilize the
reserve officers and off-duty officers. The Auditor said this in the Fair Board minutes
and stated that the Department Head wind not enter into ouch contracts; this should
be done by the Board of Supervisors.
Mr. Walgenbach reiterated the statements of the Sheriff. This
money was ir~luded in the Fair Budget. The matter could be handled in two ways.
The Board mould So ahead and authorize the agreement with the Sheriff's Department
or they could provide the service For the Fair at no cost to tha Fair.
Problem discussed. Mr. Walgenbach said he hoped that the Board
would authorize the contract in the specified sum of $3,500.
Supervisor McKillop said he felt that Mr. Blackstock and Personnel
could absorb them from liability; they could be put under Workmans Compensation.
Sheriff Gillick has a reserve organization and they are covered by the State of
California. Sheriff Gillick said' would recommend that all the monies go through
the Auditors Office to properly rover the ofFicers involved.

JuIY 221 1475
Mr. Blackstock sold he would recommend that the Board go ahead and
authorize the Sheriff to enter into the contract' for the services specified. It appeared
to him that the Board should set up a program to handle these matters. There is a real
need to have these officers at certain functions. They should be under the County's
Workman Compensation policy and under the liability insurance policy.
Time spent discussing the requested agreement fior services to the
Fair.

unanimously carried, the Sheriff was authorized to enter into contracts far policing
the two county fairs, with the County Fair Board, and that the Administrative Officer

75-1254 DISCUSSION: FIRST AID KITS AND RLSUSITATORS FOR FIRE TRUCKS
Ar. Enloe explained that the Sub Committee of the Emergency Medical
Care Committee has recommended placement of first aid kite and resusitators
on fire trucks. This would mean that approximately 809 of the population of
the county could be reached in 4 to 6 miautes•in case of an emergency.
Dr. Enloe stated that the north Chico area hoe a utility pickup with such
equipment. This provides treatment until the ambulances arrive. It also
carries extricating equipment for automobile accidents. Dr. Enloe doesn't
envision this as a forerunner of the fire department getting into the
ambulance service. This operation would allow the ambulances more time to
get to the scene of the emergency.
Gary Buzzini, Fire Department, stated that the ambulances can't
provide service in the 4 to 6 minute time period all over the county.
He explained that in the southern part of the state, there is quite extensive
first aid equipment on the fire department equipment. He stated that the
primary concern of the fire department is using this equipment is patient
atablization, extrication, and preparation far moving. They do not want to

has requested that he be allowed to buy the equipment to place on the Eire
equipment if necessary. The ambulances dust cannot carry all the equipment
they need.
Supervisor Cameron Stated that there have beep several instances
in Paradise where this equipment has been of great service. He feels it is
very valuable. Mr. Buzzini outlined Che equipment they would Like to buy,
which is in the report the Board received. This would cost approximately
$35,000. They are looking to have four units 3n•ther.caunty, They would
need to purchase the entire unit for the west side of the valley buC could
place some equipmenC on the fire engine 'temporarily.
'Supervisor Cameron suggested that this be put with the revenue
sharing ftems to be discussed after the budget. Chairman Ladd stated that
he feels it will come up during the budget discussions.
Gene Sylva, vice mayor of Oroviile, questioned Dr. Enloe about the
manpower that would take care of these emergency vehicles. In the City of
Oroville, it is done by paid employees. Mr. Buzzini~~etated thaC the equipment
would be under Che 24-hour manned program. He explained that the squad units
in DeSabla and West Chico are volunteer but that their response time ie very
fast.
No action taken at this time.

All reasonable efforts should be made to protect Agriculture, not only for
its economic advantages to the County, but, as an important and desirable use
of the lead which establishes many of the valves for urban areas.
Agricultural land should be preserved against piecemeal urbanization which
would tend to adversely effect the economic potentials of this important
segment of the Couaty's base.
Ia providing for urban growth and expansion, the Fertile areas should be

The timber mountain classification is intended for those areas which have
value ae 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 those areas should be confined to areas where the topography of
the land will allow s minimum amount of damage by way or erosion, siltation,
surface and ground water pollution or the destruction of scenic and historical
areas. Aeneity should be considered on the basis of~theae factors and weighed
against alternate use of the areas for timber production, recreation and water-
shed protection.

75-1267 COUNTY COUNSEL: REPORT ON 3UPERVISOR MADIGAN'S COMPLAINT REGARDING
HOUSING AUTHORITY AND HUD ARRANGEMENTS
..;. Mr. Blacketock stated that he had seat the Board a letter
regarding this matter. He stated that he had been unable to determine any
illegal or improper action. It is a problem for the Housing Authority that
he hopes can be resolved this week. Apparently there was a tentative agreement
for houses at either $133 or $135 per month. This was tentative pending HUD's
approval, However, HUD did not approve the agreement for $135 but for $1I5.
This is what is causing the problem. The people da not want to take only
the $115. The Housing Authority does not have that money available however.
Mr. Biacketock will report back later on what happens on the
situation. Discussion of the matter. Supervisor Madigan feels that the
Housing Authority is being coerced into paying the higher amount. He also
stated that some Board members have been talked to. Supervisor McKillop
stated that he feels this matter is between the Housing Authority and the
person.
No action taken at this time.

75-1271 REPORT AND DISCIISSiON ON IISE OF JOII3T POWERS FOR ADMIIJISTRATION OF
HEALTH SERVICE AREAS
Supervisor Cameron stated that he had this placed on the agenda
so that he can get more direction from the Board ae to what they would like
to do on this matter, fte explained that they are trying to get health care
to everyone at a reasonable cost. He stated they can either enter into a
public or a private configuration,
Mr. Blackstock explained that the configuration will be a 30-man
board out of the 12 county area. Supervisor McKillop stated that the elected
body would be a separate entity but would not tax. The health service area
will be controlling the planning but all funds will go through this board.
This includes Butte County. 6uperv7.sor Cameron stated that the choice between
quasi-private ar elected re~resentativec are onlq amendments that are being
suggested; the federal Iaw does not read that nay currently.
Discussion of how people Could be appointed to the board. Chairman
Ladd stated that ha would support a joint powers agreement made up of a subatantisl
number of elected officials from board and councils, with the balance to be
people with experience in the free enterprise system. Supervisor Cameron
stated that none of the Boards want to become the agency. They want to have
the ability to appoint or remove the people on the hoard. Supervisor Richter
stated that he would like to see it public so that the county has some control,
also basing the membership on population.
Mr. Blackstock explained that it can be non-profit organization
or a governmental entity such as under a joint powers agreement. In the second
method, there would be an additional governing board, Mr, Blackstock explained
the possible composition of such a board. He explained the matter, and
discussed both methods.
Supervisor Cameron explained that HEW will have the fixtal say
in the matter. ftowever, recommendations can be seat in. He suggested that
perhaps Art Gilman would be a very good appointment to a board in this area.
fte stated that several aspects of this matter are unknown at this time.
Vic Bizwell discussed the background of the matter and hie ideas
on bath methods of forming a board. fte stated that there is nothing that would
prohibit the private. non-profit organization to have in its by-laws a provision
whereby Boards of Supervisors could appoint a percentage of the membership.
He explained Chat many things are possible. Mr. Bizwell discussed legislation
that pertains to this matter.
Supervisor Cameron suggested that this be continued after the
meeting on August 8 in Yreka of the supervisors, He felt that there should
be some more definite information coming from that meeting that could be
brought back to this Board. No action taken at this time.
75-1272 MATTERS PRESENTED BX SUPERVISORS FOR DISCIISSiON

The continuation of the budget hearings was held at this time.
Sheriff's budget
Sheriff Gillick thanked the Board for endorsing the resolution in
opposition to Nejedley's bill. The California State Sheriff's Associatian has
tried to reason with Senator Nejedley about the one-man cells in the jails. Ia
any new jail that is built, there can be only one-man calls built. Ae explained
his opposition to this cancept of the one-man cells. He also stated he did
not know how Senator Nejedley voted oa the consenting adult bill.
Sheriff Gillick stated that regarding his request for more personnel
in the budget, he would like to reiterate his request for two men for the
Magaifa-Paradise-Paradise'~'Pines area and one man foz the Gridley area. He
explained hie request. Crime is on the increase. He would like to have the
Board think about this request at the present time.
Request discussed.
Supervisor McKillop stated that the Probation Officer's request is
justified also. He said he sympathized with the Sheriff but everyone is going
to have Co tighten their belts. Chairman Ladd agreed; there are many cities
and counties and states that are almost bankrupt. Butte County is fortunate
at this time. Tf the County spends beyond their income, this county could get
there real soon. 1t is a real difficult job to decide on the priority with
the money.
Sheriff G1111ck attempted to 9uetify his request, setting out their
case load and offenses that they are handling. He asked if the Board had ever
thought about putting this service on a service area level.

Sheriff Gillick stated he did sot want to get into handling traffic;
that is in the realm of the Highway Patrol.
Capt. Woods spoke concerning the request for mare cameras. These
are used for investigation and for identi#ication purposes. P'ilm costs had
increased over last year's costs. They will need an additional $3,000 for
film, plus the cost of five additional cameras. Ia his opinion, this equipment
is needed. Equipment request discussed.
Motorcycles xequeated discussed. At this time, there are two
motorcycles included in the budget. Vehicles for the department discussed.
Mr. Nickelson stated that Sheriff Gillick had requested 14 replacement vehicles;
Administration is proposing nine.
Budget discussed; no action taken at this time.
Proposals presented by Administration
Mr. Nickelson stated that as a result of last week's inatructioa,
they have put together three alternatives to arrive at a stable tax rate. The
first proposal set out. In their investigation, they found $191,OOp
unanticipated revenue that the Auditor had not included within the proposed
budget. That is a reduction is the property tax rate.
