Proposed additional personnel and reclassifications discussed. Three additional matron positions proposed. Supervisor Ladd said he would like to propose is to re-classify the matrons to deputy I and not add the three people, then if the need is determined, could use PEP people. Mr. Rackerby maid that with the up-grading of the matrons to deputy sheriff: I, would be continuing the same level of service and the Sheriff could then use PEP people for clerks and dispatchers. Nr. Rackerby explained how this could be handled. He advised the Board not to create the positions at this time. Mr, Rackerby felt the positions could be filled with PEP people as long as the positions are not budgeted. The Board approved the concept of reclassification of the matron positions to deputy sheriff I. It was the Board's feeling that none of the requested deputies would be approved.

People from the Magalia-Paradise Pines (Upper Ridge) appeared at this time to speak on their request for afire station in that area. Jerry Letson, Fire Marshal, explained the request. He said they made a survey of the upper ridge area; it begins on the north end of the Paradise area. It includes the Paradise Pines area. This area does not receive the same protection as the other areas in the County. Mr. Letson feels that a problem does exist in that area and that a station is needed. Mr. Nickelson suggested that maybe this would call for the upgrading of the volunteer fire station rather than a full time fire station. Or maybe the people should consider the forming of the county service area for fire protection. Justification for the fire station in the upper ridge area set out by Mr. Letson. Representatives of the Upper Ridge spoke in favor of the building of a fire station in that area. They feel there is an increasing fire danger up in that area.

Supervisor Cameron asked about the differential in pay between the Paradise Constable and the Oroville Constable. Mr. Mickelson stated that the Oroville Constable has been designated as a deputy by the Sheriff and that makes the difference in the salaries. Mr. Rackerby stated that there is a provision in the salary ordinance that a constable can be placed on the deputy sheriff step. Supervisor Cameron said he felt that the constables in Paradise and Biggs do just as much deputy sheriff work. Supervisor Ladd wondered if the Oroville constable was doing this much work to justify his salary. It was stated that if the Oroville Constable was working full Cime as a Constable, doing bailiff work at the Court, he would not be of much benefit to law enforcement as a deputy sheriff. Position discussed. Supervisor McKillop stated that the position could be eliminated from the budgets and place the constables in the Courts as deputies. Supervisor Ladd said it seems to him that this is something that should be looked at and felt the Personnel Director should look into the area of whether he is providing deputy sheriff duties or just constable duties. Supervisor McKillop stated that Mr. Sickles was delivering papers for the Sheriff as he is suppose to do and is also doing constable work. Supervisor McKillop said Constable Sickles was also on call from the Sheriff and whether they utilized his potential on call, Mr. Mickelson could determine.
