bond. He said that if this man had gone to the County Clerk, Mr. Nelson

filed with the County Clerk.

Supervisor Cameron said he would like to see this Board take some
action so the people in the unincorporated areas could work towards better
fire districts. It seems to him that in some manner, this Board should come
up with a priority for these fire district areas. These people could ~`orm
a service area or fire district to help get matters started, Supervisor
McKillop felt the Board should encourage the people to form a fire district.
He said that Bald Rock and Berry Creelc do not have fire protection.

could help these people form districts or service areas to secure better
fire protection. Tt was suggested that maybe LAFCO should study the matter,

that l,AFCO has the authority to make studies of formation of fire district.

Supervisor Ladd said he has just received an update report on overtime
paid to county employees. It seems to him that this has been used quite
extensively. He feels that in some areas it is hard to justify and felt
that the Board should keep a close watch on it. He said he would like for
the Board members to review them and see whether more justification should be
put forth on them. Mr. Mickelsonson explained the matter and stated he would
follow through on it and will report back to the Board.
Chairman Madigan said to get back to the Supreme Court ruling on
the Justice Courts. He suggested that maybe County Counsel could give this
some thought and report back. Mr. Blackstock explained the decision. He
said he would try to get a copy of the opinion and will write a report to
t'ie Board on the matter.
Mr. Blackstock stated that the Judicial Council has come up with a
now piece of legislation that could have an advex•se effect on this. If the
assignment of the judges are ordered by the Judicial Council, this legislation
would, in effect, cut off the compensation from the County that he would go
to. Mr. Blackstock explained the effects of this bill. He said he would like
to have the Board give his authority to contact the Judicial County to amend
this bill. The Board granted him authority and he will report back to the Board
