$1 difference per acre. It is a low savings for such entrapment. Proposition

Supervisor Wheeler stated after the presentatipn of Gillinger
and Associates they were giving SCT a chance to respond to the long range

Joseph Staszak, General Manager, SCT, Mro Staszak appreciated
the time to respond to the Gillinger report, Mro Parsons will speak on
the costs and the impacto They entered into the contract with the county
for a period of three years, They are bias because of maintaining their
reputation as the largest grovider of facility management services to local
government and higher educationo Mro Staszak set out the issues raised in
his letter to the Board,
Bili Parsons, SCT, Mro Parsons referred to Attachment A of
Mro Staszak's letter, He discussed the attachment regarding cost to
initial implementation of the Gillinger approacho From the requests of
Gillinger it would cost an additional $300,000 or an increase of about
75 percent which is quite staggering considering the way Butte County
finances are at present,
Mxa Staszak stated the report indicated the county should alter.
its method of acquiring serviceso They have heard this charge beforeo
Their office conducted an analysis by!telephone callso It Cass found Butte
County spent less per capita on data processing than other countieso He
set out their recommendationse
Supervisor Wheeler stated one of the problems with the Gillinger
agreement was they wexe to discuss needs with legal counsel and the Executive
Committeeo Maybe they were not fully aware of the new program that Mro
Nelson discussed during budget sessions
Mro Staszak stated he would be happy to work with the Subcommitteeo
Ed Brown, assessor, stated he was to be a part of it, the Sub-
committee did not work with Gillinger, They were given direction from
Administration not to talk with the Subcommittees He felt that was unethical,
Now they are trying to subvent that and they have SCT's reputation to deal
witho This prablem will not be resolved by not following the direction
set out at the Executive Committee meetingo

Carl Morton, treasurer-tax collector, statedTwhen the motion was
made at the Executive Committee they recommended they hire Gillingero They
were first honaring the point of the Granfl Jury Report, The second part of
the motion was the Subcommittee would negotiate and direct the consultant
in the process. That did not happeno Tt aborted the whole project from
the start. In Section 2-6 of the Gillinger report he disclaims that point,
When he questioned him about it fie was told Mr. Mickelson and Supervisor
Wheeler told him not to-talk with Mr. Johansen or Mr, Brown;
Supervisor Wheeler did not think they were going askew, The more
information they can amass to make that decision for a long range plan is
more valuable to Butte County. She was not trying to subvent that issue,
They should tatEe all passible information through the structure of the
Committee and people they hirer If it is a good structure she would like
to think they can take the weight of this, They are department heads and
computer users. They should be able to sit down with these people and
arrive at a proposal plan that can be used rationally, It is a financial
commitment they have to be very careful about makingo She stated .she never
spent time with the consultant, She would never assume the authority of
telling them to not talk to those department heads. '
Bi11 Houston, Oroville, stated they should do away with the
computers and hire the bookkeepers that handled the work before computers,
The problem with the county is they all have strings attached to us. He
read from the Constitution of the United States. Back in 1976 the county
started with a $31 million budget at the time of Proposition 13o Now it
is $67 million which is more than i20 percent increase. He felt they should
examine each item. He felt Mr. Castleberry spent too much money on equipment,
Jim Johansen, auditor, stated his recommendation was to refer the
information from the Gillinger study to-~ each of the study members,refer
for examination of that and recommend coming back to the Board through the
Executive Committee. Leave it open to the Committee's discretion, It is
a provisional situation. Mr. Gillinger can respond to what they had in
mind regarding hardware.
Supervisor Wheeler stated she found a great deal of text book
information in the report. She objected to the study and she made the
statement she supported it not because it was politicalo She felt 'once and
for all the situation would be solved.
Supervisor Bolan stated she felt the Subcommittee should give them
direction before they sit down with SCT and Gillinger.
Mike Pyeatt, assistant administrative officer, stated a billing
has been presented by Gillinger and Associates for payment of Phase I which
included incidentals. What was the Board's decision on Phase TT?
SUPERVISOR WHEELER ABSENT AT THIS TIME
Jim Johansen stated he felt this was still a part of the consider-
ation of Phase io 'The report raised some questions and they would like
Gillinger to respond.
