1257 PUBLIC HEARING: 1980-81 BUDGET AND REVENUE SHARING FINAL USE HEARING
The public hearing on the 1980-81 budget and revenue sharing
final use hearing was held as continued.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing: ._.
1. Sheriff Gillick. Sheriff Gillick was in agreement with his
get except for the personnel for the department. A survey was made by
Law Enforcement Committee. There was a survey done by the Department
Corrections on the jail manpower. Tn August, 1980 the Department of
rections will be back for a management survey of the jail. The Board
received copies of the requests by the committee for 67 more personnel.
s is not 67 more deputies. The personnel would be in the patrol, civil
estigation and jail sections of the department.
Chairman Lemke stated that the Board had not made any findings
the proposal that has been presented. Personally, he would like to
implementation of the recommendations by the committee on a three-year
n. This would put one-third of the amount needed included in the.
artment budget each year for three years. He felt it would be almost
ossible to approve the recommendations of the committee in one year.
Sheriff would then be allowed to decide where the personnel should be
ced. The total package is about $1-]/2 million. ~`'

August 1, 1980
Dicussion of staffing in the jail held at this time. Sheriff
Gillick stated that the recommendations of the committee make a total
of 26 personnel in the jail. The Department of Corrections recommends
27 personnel. They are still short nine of .the recommended personnel with
the additional five employees that were approved by the Board recently.
Clif Nickelson, administrative officer, recommended the addition
of five more jailers. He felt immediate action for safety purposes should
be taken for these five additional positions. This would allow three
employees for the jail and two employees for search and transport.
Discussion of why the five positions approved for the jail
by the Board had not been filled as of this date held at this time.
Jim Rackerby, personnel director, stated that hia office certified
thirteen people to the Sheriff's Office. The department could have filled
those five positions off that certification. They are now testing again
for the additional positions being considered.
Lt. Nick Gray set out the reasons all five positions were not
filled from the list. They do a thorough background investigation on
the people to be employed at the jail. The testing by the county does
not do this. Out of thirteen persons there were ten disqualified with
this investigation. They have not notified Personnel of this fact, as
they were informed that the list ran out.
Dick ~tenlierg~, undersheriff, stated that five additional jailer
positions was not going to do the job. They will still be short of the
recommended staffing for the jail. With the addition of five new positions
in addition to the five recently approved the total would be 22 and the
recommended amount is 27 persons. The county could be faced with a safety
problem. The 27 persons would include administrative personnel and
jailers.
Nr. Nickelson stated they are trying to build toward where
the recommendations can be approved. He was concerned about safety. They
know about how many posts there are in the jail. It is necessary to have
at least two men at each post and this would come to the five positions
approved by the Board in addition ::_ to five new positions. This would
also allow personnel for search and transport. Those five additional
positions will cost $97,500 to the budget.
Sheriff Gillick felt it was very important to have enough staffing
in the jail. For years, he has known that the jail was understaffed.
He was concerned with possible lawsuits.
Chairman Lemke asked Sheriff Gillick how he felt about the
possible implementation of the recommendations by the committee over
a three year period which would add a little over $1/2 million to increase
staffing. The decision for placement of that staff would be up to the
Sheriff. There would be $97,500 for the jail.
Sheriff Gillick felt this would be a reasonable approach.
Capt. Leroy Woods felt the problem with that suggestion would
be that there would still not be adequate manpower to handle the rural
patrol as requested by citizens.
Sheriff Gillick agreed that it would take quite a period of
time to do the hiring of the entire 67 employees.

g0- Sheriff Gillick asked that the Board consider the reclassification
b ' of his secretary. She has been with the Sheriff's department since 1949.
He has tried to get the position reclassified and has been unable to do
so through the Personnel Department.
Sheriff Gillick was referred to the Personnel Director to
discuss this matter.
Mr. Nickelson recommended that his office be authorized to
bring an•emergency salary ordinance amendment back to the Board next
Tuesday relative to the addition of five ;jailers.
Administrative Officer to bring back proposal next week,
~! August 5, 1980.
2. Arlen Cartwright, fire department. Mr. Cartwright stated
the Fire Department was not in opposition to the recommendations of the
Administrative Office relative to the budget. He wanted to stress the
importance of the request for the heavy equipment mechanic that is in
their budget at this time. The position in the county department is
crucial to the operation of the department from a cost effectiveness
standpoint. This position is an important factor with regard to the
volunteer program. It would be good to implement a preventative maintenance
program.
Chairman Lemke stated that the $242,000 in special district
augmentation funds not included in the budget would give the department
an additional $1/4 million.
Mr. Nickelson felt that rather than look at the possible
special district augmentation funds as additional re"venue for the
fire department, the Board might want to look at those funds as
additional funds for the reserve. He felt there was a need for a mechanic
for the fire department.
3. Joe Bandy, agricultural commissioner. Mr. Bandy stated
he wanted to reiterate what he had discussed with the Board on July 29,
1980 relative to the reclassifications before the Personnel Director
at this time. He would like an opportunity to make comments when the
reclassifications are discussed.
Nr. Bandy was referred to the Personnel Director for discussion
of the reclassifications.
4. John Allen, public guardian. Mr. Allen was requesting
the approval of a deputy Public Guardian, range 15. The cost of the
position would be $16,500 per year. He did not feel they would be able
to meet the increasing needs of the county without the position because
of the growth in population, particularly the growth in the elderly
section. There has been an increase in the mental health cases referred
to the Public Guardians office for conservator'ships. He felt the position
would pay for itself from the increase in fees that the office has
generated. Since 1971, there has been an increase in the fees for the
department. There has not been any added staff in this department for
ten to fifteen years. The position has been recommended by the 1978-79
Grand Jury and supported by the last Grand Jury. The fees generated in
the last four or five years would more than pay for the position. With
the ability to assume more cases there would be more fees generated.
The cases that are received by the office is when there is a referral
and there is no relative that can be located who is able to assume the
responsibilities.

Au~ust_1, 1980
Discussion of the types of fees received by the Public Guardian's
Office held at this time. There are about $9,000 in costs that are
transferred to the Mental Health Department and are reimbursed 100% by
the state through Short-Doyle funds. The budget shows $22,000 in
fees which is the $9,000 for mental health cases and the remainder is
fees for conservatorships fees set by the courts. The $55,000 other is
money from the General Fund.
Mr. Allen stated there had been a change in the probate code
which will allow for accountings every two years. He has requested this
position for a number of years. The caseload in the Public Guardian's
Office has changed. At one time they had the assistance of two social
workers in placement work. They are required to check on the conservatees
by the court. There has been a change in the LPS cases from Mental
Health Department. There are around 26 cases and 50 cases make a complete
caseload. The fees are based on the operating costs of the department.
The formula is worked out through the Auditor's Office. The fees are
not collected if it would cause a hardship on the people involved.
5. Clay Castleberry, public works director. Mr. Castleberry
stated that since the county lost population he will be operating with
less people in the Public Works Department. When the preliminary budget
was drawn up, their department withdrew $1,100,000 worth of projects.
The auditor was able to find about $716,000 in monies which are discretionary.
He asked that the Board consider putting back into the budget some
of the projects that were deleted with modifications.
Discussion of the amount of money found for the Public Works
Department held at this time. Jim Johansen, auditor, stated there
was $k25,000 listed as carry over fund balances and $295,000 in SB 325
money.
Mr. Castleberry set out the projects he would like to have
considered for addition to the budget. He presented a listing of the
projects.
Supervisor Winston stated that the Board had three main things;
police, fire and roads. The longer the road projects are allowed to
remain incomplete or not constructed the worse off the county will be.
He knew that including these projects would have a serious effect on
the $2 million in additional funds. He knew that of all the departments
in the county, Public Works has been so cooperative to reduce public
expenditures on a voluntary basis. They have reduced staff. He felt
the Board should give serious consideration to the requests made by the
Public Works Department.
Discussion of the roads included in the Federal Aid System
held at this time. Mr. Castleberry stated they had deleted a section
of Keefer Road. They have talked about making this a FAS project to
be considered after Skyway has been completed. The Board approved the
overlay project for the old section of Skyway. Due to a misunderstanding
with the contractor this was not done. He felt it would be added to
the new contract ~he.~. it is awarded. They are going to make two-year
repairs at this time.They~ propose to go to bid in October, 1981 for
the Skyway to the Paradise area. It will be finished in the spring of
1982. Cohasset Road is also on the FAS list.
5. Dr. Svihus, public health director. Dr. Svihus stated he
had two requests for the Environmental Health Department. He has submitted
a request for increased revenue in a memo dated July 15, 1980. There
are three modifications being recommended:

_ August 5, 1980 _ __ _ _ _ _
Bob. Crisan, welfare director, stated the reason for this memo and
discussion was because of the referral to the local recruiters has been
undermined. He did not want to create difficulties for the enlisted
personnel. Looking for work is mandated and the potential employer would
initial the form after a person had sought employment.
Dan Blackstock, county counsel, did not recommend that the
Board eliminate the requirement to look for employment with the recruiters.
He saw no reason for the Board to not require the general assistance
recipients- to look for work at the recruiters. The recruiters are saying
they will sit down and talk with anyone who comes into the office. The
recruiters will not sign the form that the person has come into talk with
them.
Mr. Crisan stated he would like to suspend the requirement for
a short period of time to determine what can be done with this requirement.
They can have the requirement and depend on the form with the perjury

UPHOLD COUNTY ZONING OF "R-3" IN THE DURHAM AREA: REPORT RE: REQUEST OF
TOM BEER FOR INTERIM ZONING IN THE "R-3" AREA OF DURHAM
Dan Blackstock, county counsel, reported on whether there was
a right to appeal the decision of the Health Department relative to the
granting of aseptic tank permit. The county has no such line of appeal.
The Board has reviewed matters under their general supervisory powers.
He did not recommend that the Board set the matter for hearing. Septic
tank permits are ministerial in procedure. They are categoxically exempt
from environmental review.
Bettye Blair, planning director, reported on the request for
interim zoning 3n the "R-3" area of Durham. The Board received copies
of the report.
Supervisor Wheeler stated that in April, 1980 a commercial
complex in the area was agreed upon. There was a petition in favor of
that commercial complex at that time. Many of the names on the petition
for the interim zoning were the same. In talking with some of the people,
they felt the petition was misrepresented to them. There is no where
for people to live in the Durham area. There is a need for the type of
complex that is being proposed.
Ms. Blair stated they had a problem with the General Plan
designation when the Board adopted the new land use designation. This
is study area. They try to have the people go to the area zoned for
a specific purpose that fits their needs. If this area had not received

POSSIBLE ZONING VIOLATIONS BY WOOD PROCESSING OPERATIONS ON COHASSET ROAD,
CHICO
Report to the Board by the zoning investigator regarding the
complaint of Kevin Myers regarding possible zoning violations by wood
processing operations on Cohasset Road, Chico considered at this time.
Bettye Blair, planning director, set out the report that was
given to the Soard.
Supervisor Wheeler stated that the report was self-explanatory.
She made a tour of the site with the Division of Forestry and the zoning
investigator. She talked to the manager of the operation. The people
have one year to comply with the permit. The Division of Forestry is
allowing 30 days to come into compliance with the state regulations
as far as the fire situation that exists. The operation will not be
allowed to have woodpiles and sawdust at the site and will be required
to clean up the site. They will no longer be able to store these items
on the property.
Vince Anzalone, zoning investigator, stated that the operators
have stored all the byproducts on the site. They have also incorporated
the next adjoining parcel and are dumping and accumulation of byproducts
are on the northern part of that parcel. The use permit has one year to
go, until June S, 1981. There will be an evaluation done and a report
will be made at that time. There is no noise ordinance in Butte County.

1. Increase Environmental Health fees as a total package. Fee
schedule attachment #1. Part of this is adopted. Dr. Svihus recommended
that the adcfftioaal resolutions be adopted when they axe brought forward
from Counsel's Office.
2. & 3. Implementation of the food service ordinance. Butte
County is one of three counties over 100,000 population that does not
have a food ordinance. This would be for inspection of restaurants and
grocery stores and any place that serves food. They would ask the cities
to implement the ordinance also. He would need two Sanitarians in order
to ~nfoxce the food ordinance and carry out the program. If this is
approved, he asked that it not be implemented until January 1; 1981 to
given them time to get the people hired and ready to perform the tasks.
Dr. Svihus stated there would be about $190,000 collected in
fees. The last fee schedule was only for $25,000. This will be a self-
sustaining department with increased fees. The cost would be $90,000 for
the food program and the total fees would be $190,000.
Dick Puelicher, auditor's office, stated they have had preliminary
discussions with the Health Department on the increased fees. The
resolution that was recently passed by the Board will generate substantial
fees at little cost. The restaurant program preliminary costs will
perhaps exceed the revenue. It is a two-part situation. They do not
know if the combination of the two items will be a total wash.
Dr. Svihus stated the estimate of the total fees is $190,000
and an additional cost of about $90,000 with a net savings of $150,000.
SUPERVISOR WINSTON ABSENT AT THIS TIME
Dr. Svihus requested additional file cabinets be placed in
the budget. They were approved last year in the budget and were told
to wait and get them out of the surplus from the old Administrative
Building furniture. They will not get any file cabinets and therefore
he requested that they be included in the budget. The cost is $1,600.
He submitted a copy of the request for the file cabinets at this time.
The hearing was continued to August 5, 1980 at 10:30 a.m.
to be considered at the time of the special district augmentation hearing.
The Board will also hear the revenue sharing requests at that time.
RECESS: The Board recessed at 10:45 a.m. to reconvene on Tuesday,
August 5, 1980 at 9:00 a.m.
