get proposals fox data processing services for the CETA program it is
necessary to get approval from the Board and the Department of Labor'.
It is a Ienghty process. He requested authorization to prepare a
request for proposal for data processing services and instruction to'
submit all the necessary forms to the Department of Labor. As soon as
these are received from the Department of Labor they can proceed fora
call for bids. Mr. Rackerby set out how the acquisition of equipment
would be handled, The equipment and program would be paid fox by CETA.
It is anticipated that the county would purchase the hardware. The
county would call for bids as the grime sponsor and purchase or lease
the equipment and charge CETA for it. At the end of the contract it would
be the county's option to purchase or send the equipment back. There is
no county money involved, This would be for about two and one-half years.
Because of the information they have to provide, it is almost impossible
to do the work by hand, They would be using mini-.computers.
On motion of Supervisor Wheeler, seconded by Supervisor Dolan
and unanimously carried, the Personnel Director was authorized to seek
proposals for data processing services for the CETA program and instructed
to subbit necessary forms to Department of Labor.

active in supporting a sewer extension to the northeast and the east side
of Chico. Mr. Castleberry stated that he had a meeting with Fred Davis,
city manager. Those present concurred that the next move is up to the
county as to whether they want to pursue the extension of a trunk north
to about Cohasset and Panama Avenue. Then the local services would be
provided for the area. The cost will be about $4 million plus. The
next move is to somehow start an assessment district to investigate the
feasibility of an assessment district. It would be necessary to come up
with the money for preliminary boundaries. This would cost from $15,000
to $20,000. A gentlemen made a proposal at the meeting that was held that
if the county could not afford it,,he would be interested in assistance.
He asked for the Board's direction.
Mr. Drake.
Supervisor Winston abstained on any discussion involving
Supervisor Wheeler stated that a good portion of the area is
in her district. She wanted to investigate the matter totally.
Mr. Castleberry stated that the. developer offered to.comel,up
with some of the money but it would still cost the county about $10,000
for the preliminary engineering money.

with same suggested places of where the funding could come from.

PUBLIC HEARING: REHABILITATION POLICIES - HOUSING AND COMMUNITX DEVELOPMENT
The public hearing on the rehabilitation polities for Housing
end Community Development was held at this time.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing: Jim Marshall, chairperson
of City of Chico Advisory Board and member of EOC Housing and Energy
Advisory Board. Mr. Marshall stated that he was speaking as an individual.
He has been contacted by several people in the Chapmantown area who''are
concerned about the decisions the Board has made in recent weeks. He has
been contacted about the loan policy. He felt that owner residents should
have a priority over investors. In conversations with Mr. Connerly he
has been lead to think that had there been an opportunity the concern
could have been resolved quite easily. He asked that the Board revamp
their citizens participation program. It would be very helpful if the
Citizens Advisory Committee were meeting in the neighborhood so that
everyone could express their concerns. Citizen participation is more
than desirable in the block grant program.
Ward Connerly, Connerly and Associates, stated that he agreed
with Mr. Marshall. Mr. Connerly stated that he had walked through
Chapmantown and spoke to several people to get their views. There is
no void in the staff. Gerald Lively is doing the job in the Administrative
Office for the HCD program. Mr. Connerly stated that all loans that have
been made have been to benefit low and moderate income people. The problem
is that most are renterso Whether the loans go to owner occupants or
to investors, there has been ren.tr control tied on Section 8. They have
to benefit the tenant. The only way is to make loans available to'
investors.
Supervisor Dolan stated that several of the sections used the
term to benefit low or moderate income personso The k'ederal Government
uses the term person and households for a different meaning.
Mro Connerly stated that they are unable to use the term
household as they get into the question many times of whether there is one
or two households in the same residence. This is why they have used the
term persono; The program is rated on the basis of the numher of persons
benefited.
Chairman Lemke stated that he received a call yesterday by someone
for the Chapmantown Improvement Association who asked that the loan:
provision be referred back to the Citizens Advisory Committee.

SUPERVISOR MOSELEY INTRODUCED THE YOUNG PEOPLE FROM THE MIGRANT EDUCATION
PROGRAM AT THIS TIME.
Mr. Connerly stated that there will he a rent control provision
in all of the agreements. The loan assumption provision is one they have
not had in the policies previously. This was a recent decision where the
county is saying include the rent control provision in the deeds ofltrust.
HUD is very likely going to require an earlier grant application time
period. It has been typically between March and May,. Tentatively the
pre-applications have been scheduled between November 19 and December 3,
1979_which is pretty soon for 1980-81 money. The letter has not come from
HUD as of this date. It is subject to change. He suggested that a''meeting
date of August 21, 1979 for a public hearing to review the citizens
participation plan that they axe putting together. It•will hopefully be
available for public review late this week or next week. He felt the
Board should set a hearing for the plan and on the hearing process for
next year's pre-application assuming the dates for submission will be
confirmed. With A95 process they have to submit the pre-application
to the state. before it goes to the..federal government.:..
A public hearing date of August 21, 1979 at 11:00 a.m. was
set for consideration of the citizens participation plan for HCD.
Supervisor Dolan felt that any guidelines should be reviewed
by the Citizens Advisory Committee. She wondered if they could be given
more time so that the committee could hold hearings,
Mr. Connerly stated that he felt that they should have something
in the form for public review by the end of the week. There is no hold
over process from year to year with the plan. He emphasised that the
matter should be placed on the agenda as public input and not citizen
participation.
Clif Mickelson, administrative officer, stated that the approval
of the new policies would also include raising the piggybacking from
$5,000 to $7,000.
Supervisor Dolan asked if this matter could be continued for
one week so that the Citizens Advisory Committee could review the new
policies.
Mr. Connerly felt that the.criteri8 was important that while
they provide an opportunity for public input that they not get lost in
the position that the Board, which is a representative body of the county,
not simply assign the responsibility to public hearing and input. He
felt this was an insignificant change and in view of the fact they were
not going to have a lot of time, he needed to know the.criteria'thery needed to
work with. He requested that the action be taken today.
Mr. Mickelson stated that they would make every effort to
get. the information out to the commitee.
Mr. Connerly set out the reasons the county is not using the
variable interest rate. They tried that during the first few years.
It becomes very unwieldly to work with. This type of interest rate would
allow the Board to adjust the interest rate. This could allow charging

:veryone in the program the 5% instead of the original 3% they we reipaying.
'his would mean that they could make a loan at 3% today and re serve the
sight to change interest when the rate was changed. The rent control
clause goes with the life of the mortgage. The loan could not be approved
without approval of this Boardo The investor could not sell the property
tnd relieve himself of the obligation as well as the person cannot evict
someone and bring another tenant in.
Discussion of repayment and piggybacking held at this time.
1308
1309
Mro Connerly stated that they have encountered families that
lo~.not have a credit history that would allow them to get a private'Ioan.
Che Board has never applied rigid requirements for payback. Under
section 312 loans a person has to be able to pay back on an amortization
oasis. They have to look at the loan. They have had a lot of people
:hat could not meet the Section 312 requirements. He suggested that the
Board continue using the ideal of making liberal loans. The county 'now
;s a monthly payback of about $1,200 per month. That is a very respectable
imount.
On motion of Supervisor Wheeler, seconded by Supervisor Moseley
znd carried, the rehabilitation policies were adopted with the changes
.n the increase of the interest rate from 3% to 5% and the increase 'in
.n piggybacking from $5,000 to $7,000. AYES: Sugervisors Moseley,.

IDDITIONAL MATTER PRESENTED BY WARD CONNERLY
Mr. Connerly stated that they had just received approval from
;HFA to continue their program until June 30, 1980. This would be a
!5-year loan at 7-3/4% interest. It is available throughout the county.
the funds are available through Crocker Bank and Guild Savings and Loan.
'he sealing amount is about $60,000 for low and moderate incomes. The
xpper limit on moderate incomes is about $14,000 or $15,000 per year.

'UBLIC HEARING: S. & T. LOGGING, INC. - APPEAL OF CONDITION RELATING TO
'WO-WAY TRAVERSABLE ACCESS 16 FEET WIDE ON TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP, 3 LOTS,
~P 71-08,110, SOUTHEAST CORNER OF SCHWINE LOOP ROAD AND MAYBERRY ROAD,
3IDWELL MOUNTAIN AREA
The public hearing on 5. & T. Logging, Inc. appeal of condition
relating to two-way traversable access 16 feet wide on a tentative parcel
iap, 3 lots, AP 71-08-110, southeast corner of Schwine Loap Road and Mayberry
toad, Bidwell Mountain area was held at this time.
Dan Blackstock, county counsel, questioned whether the Board
iad jurisdietion.r in this matter. The Board requires that an appeal be
:fled within a certain amount of time after the map has been approved.
Che map was approved December_4, 1978.
Clay Castleberry, public works director, set out the background
~f the appeal. The Board set a hearing after receiving a letter last week.
Chis is an appeal of a Public Works requirement of gravel on the road.
L'he property owner has asked that he be allowed to place gravel eight feet
aide on a 16-foot road bed. The. standards require 16 feet of gravel.
Chis is only making one lot. He felt this was adequate. He felt that
.he eight feet of gravel would be fine if the Board would require that
.he next time there is a lot split that the other person be required to
also place eight feet of gravel which would make the 16 feet.

August 7, 1979
Mr. Blackstock stated that what the applicants are asking', for
is an exception to the standards. He can change the rules if that as
what the Board wants to allow for appeal after the time limit.
Supervisor Winston stated that the condition was to provide
a two-way traversable access. Tt is in the interpretation of what 3s
two-way traversable access. Schwine Loop Road is a lengthy road that
extends over one mile. There is two-way traversable access right now.
It is not graveledo
Mr. Castleberry stated that two-way access includes gravel.
The standards call for 15 feet. The applicant is asking to be able'to
put eight feet of gravel instead of the required 16 feet of gravel.
The other two lots in the parcel map are served by a different road',
and are not involved in the appeal. The road in question will serve
other lots as that area is developed, There were no conditions to the
parcels when they were originally divided. The applicant has graded
and widened the road. Now they are coming back and saying they would
like to be relieved of the requirement to gravel the entire width of the
road. '
Hearing open to the public. Appearing: Burt Townsend, S. & T.
Logging, Tnc. Mr. Townsend stated that they have built the necessary
roads in this subdivision to qualify with the state. In order to get
their money they had to take some property. He has taken logging
equipment in and widened the road for one parcel and put to county
standards for width and grading. There area few places that have a little
bit of adverse conditions and Public Works wants them to gravel those
places. -The cost is quite great since there is only one parcel involved.
He has been aware of the fact that he was required to provide two-way
traversable access. The entire road does not need to be graveled. .
He did not know he had to gravel the road until this spring.
Mr. Blackstock stated that he was under ahe impression from
what the Public Works Director said that the Board has adopted a resolution
in which certain standards are set out at 16 feet. The gentlemen has
said that it was his understanding that he could work with Public Works
and subject to their approval there would be varying conditions. If
that is the case, he will have to take a look at the requirements because
the people are not going to know of the requirements.
Supervisor Winston stated that all the condition said was
provide two-way traversable access,
Mr. Blackstock did not see why the appeal was before the .Board.
He did not see that it was a jurisdiction question.
The appeal was taken out of the appeal process and
referred to Public Works to work with Mr. Townsend to work the problem
out.

PUBLIC HEARING - CON5IDERATION OF AIR POLLUTION CONTROL RULES AND NEW
SOURCES REVIEW - ADOPT AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT RESOLUTION 79-1
The public hearing for consideration of Air Pollution Control
Rules and New Sources Review was held as advertised..
Joe Bandy, air pollution control officer, set out the background
of the rules. This goes back to October, 1977 when the Clean Air amendments
were passed. There are four rules that are before the Board that could
be adopted without any problems. These rules have been considered by the
Sacramento Air Basin Council. They have been adopted by the Council. The
ARB will adopt them. These rules are 2.12 A, B and C. The cold solvent
degreasing rules will require change from the ARB. They can be adopted
recognizing that there will have to be changes.
Mr. Bandy stated that they have been fighting with ARB regarding
the New Sources Review rule. On July 26, 1979 the ARB adopted a new'rule
for Butte County. The county does not know what this new rule is as!they
have not seen it. He was concerned with the changes that were proposed.
Dan Blackstock, county counsel, stated that the Board is on
record as questioning ARB's jurisdiction in acting in the manner they have.
This is regarding the New Sources Review.
Mr< Bandy stated that the degreasing rule will be the one
e_d. There is nothing wrong with the petroleum rule. He objected to
Page 27.
August 7, 1979
79-
August 7, 1979
some of the changes that ARB wants in the degreasing regulations. They
are not feasible to enforce. He does not have the staff to put into
play as far as enforcement of that rule is concerned.
Discussion of the tests performed in the parking lot in Chico
held at this time.
Dave Stratton, air pollution control office, stated that the
trailer was in the parking lot in Chico for about five years. Even after
that trailer was moved, the PG&E data gathered for 1978 did •:show an
exeeedence of oxidants. There was an exceedence throughout California.
Butte County is in a non-attainment designation.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing: Don Blake. Mr. Blake
wondered how the material was developed and what kind of scientific
information went into this. He read the New Sources Review rule where
designations of non-attainment would have to have off-sets. He could see
controls coming in on new sources of one ton per week, It seems inconceivable
that there can be controls on industry to one tone and then allow an
industry with 150 tons per day.
Mr. Bandy stated that the federal requirements are 50 tons'. The
state has put into control 250 pounds per day. The 50 tons gave consa.deration
to several things. Agriculture and certain operations may exceed the
50 tons per day but over the entire year, they might not exceed the limit.
The Energy Commission and the ARB had the authority to override local
rules that prohibit coal fired plants from being placed in a given area.
The New Sources Review rule has been adopted for Butte County by ARB'.
