DISCUSSION ANA POLICY DIRECTION: CHICO LIBRARY POSSIBLE LEASE AND LEASE
BACK CONCEPT
Discussion of the possible lease and lease back concept for
the Chico Library was held at this time.
Dan Blackstock, county counsel, set out the background of
the lease and lease back concept. This is an arrangement whereby
the Board would lease back the Chico and Gridley Libraries. This would
be through a nonprofit organization. That corporation would issue
revenue bonds or bonds that are completely secufed. The corporation
would then complete the construction of the building using the county's
plans and specifications. The term of the lease would be dependent
upon the Board's decision. He requested that the Board contract with a
law firm to handle setting up the nonprofit organization. This would
be the same type of arrangement as used for the Paradise schools. Upon
conclusion of the lease the building becomes the property of the county.
Page 182.

He figured the cost of the-lease on a construction amount of $2-1/2 million
as anticipated construction for both buildings for a 15 p~2z'~eompletely
10 percent amortized loan. The loan could be less than that. The interest
rate for the bonds is anticipated to be somewhere between 9-1/2 and 10
percent, The cost for the lease would be $335,000 per year for the 15 yeas'. .
loan. In order to get the matter moving it would be necessary to authorize
County Counsel to bring back an agreement with the law firm for creating
the nonprofit organization. The fee for this agreement would be between
$15,000 and $20,000. This would be the only .expenditure dais year other
than the architect and inspector fees. The county would be paying no"
fees until they moved into the building.
Supervisor Wheeler stated that she and Counsel met with staff .
and the people proposing to build the library. This is the way to be
able to fund construction of the libraries.
Nr. BlackStock stated that the possibility of a federal grant
would be determined by the conditions of the grant. It would depend upon
when the grant became available. If the construction was started in
January and the federal programs did not become available until March
or April, he could not think the county could obtain a giant. He thought
that the arrangement an the Paradise schools was for 20 years.
Mr. Biackstock set out what the nonprofit corporation would do.
It is a nongovernmental agency. The corporation would be formed whereby
all the assets of the corporation would go to a charitable organisation
when it was dissolved. It will not pay dividends. He did not feel the
Board could get people to become more active than a nonprofit organization.
The building would be owned by the nonprofit organization until the
lease was completed. The building belongs to the county once the lease
has been completed.
C13f Nickelson, administrative officer, felt that if any action
'was going to be forthcoming from the federal government it would be
done before October 1, 1980. The Board could form the nonprofit organization
and put the money into the budget for the architect and inspector fees
and the building. As soon as the 1981-52 budget comes dowm_i from the
federal government, he was quite sure the EDA would be distributing the
money as soon as possible. They will want to get the money out before
the November election. He felt the Board could get prepared but enter
into no actual lease back agreement until late November.
Supervisor Wheeler stated that certainly this would be very
costly, She did not think it would be possible to fund the libraries
in the future without this type of arrangement. She felt that in the
two districts of Chico there should have been a firmer stand taken when
this was considered in past years.
To be considered later in the meeting.

DISCUSSION: POSSIBILITY OF GRANT FOR CONSTRUCTION+'OF THE JAIL
Gerald Lively, deputy administrative officer, reported on
AB 3245 relative to jail construction. This bill had an amendment added
on April 16, 1980 which would include capital expenditures for California
county jail construction. It looks like this bill will pass. The bill
will allow $40 million for three years for jail construction far all
of the reasons that have been discussed for the Butte County Jail. There
will be administrative rules involved in the grants for this type of
construction. The State Board of Corrections will be the granting agency.
The county has had a long and positive working arrangement with the
Board of Corrections. The executive director in Redding feels comfortable

August 26, 1980
August 26, 1980
ao-
about Butte County's situation. He could not see why the county could
not get the grant if the bill passes. Evexy county in the north state
with jails have lobbyed for this bill. Mr. Lively read from the proposed
bill relative to the fact that the agency will consider whether the county
has exhausted all means of raising existing funds. If the county appropriates
100 percent in revenue sharing, they will not be eligible for a grant.
That means the Legislature wants the Board of Cornections to require a
match. The $oard~; cannot be in a position to appropriate l00 percent
for construction but the county has to be in a position to come up with
the match. He felt the county was in the way for a grant because of
the conditions in the X31. He recommended that the Board allocate
$850,000 to be placed in the reserve for contingencies but earmarked
for the jail.until such time as the county gets the administrative require-
ments for the grant. The grant funds would be made available on
January 1, 1981. The amount in the reserve should cover the professional
uses and have some moneg -left ~A~zer.
The discussion was continued to later in the meeting.

1386 PUBLIC HEARING: MERIDIAN MUNJAR,-ROCK CREEK FLOOD DIVERSION, & UPPER
MUD CREEK (ROCK CREEK TO SYCAMORE, EAST OF HIGHWAY 99) - MASTER DRAINAGE
PLANS
The public hearings on the following were held as continued:
1. Meridian Munjar proposed negative declaration, decision on
master drainage plan, and return of drainage deposits that were in excess
of those recommended by the Mastex~Orainage Plan.
2. Rock Creek Flood Diversion Feasibility Plan, consideration
of draft EIR (Chico Airport Environs rezone EIR) and return of drainage
deposits that were in excess of those recommended by the Master Drainage
Plan.
3. upper Mud Creek (Rock Creek to Sycamore, east of Highway 99)
draft EIR, decision on the project, and return. of drainage deposits that
were in excess of those recommended by the Master Drainage Plan.
Clay Castleberry, public works director, stated that there were
two plans and feasibility studies. The first was Meridian Munjar which
the Board zoned to urban uses. The other area is Rock Creek in the Keefer
Road area down to Mud Creek. There is the feasibility of diverting
some water from Rock Creek to Mud Creek. The Board held two public hearings
on these matters. Some questions were brought up downstream from Rock Creek
to the Sacramento River. There are concerns about the environmental impact
on this plan, that downstream was not taken into consideration.
Supervisor Wheeler wondered how valid the Board's consideration
was at this time until they know the results of the election in November
concerning the land initiative and whether the areas will be able to be
developed. She did not think it would be wise to implement the plan at
this time.
Mr. Castleberry stated he would like to come back with proposals
from private citizens requesting consideration of a proposed county service
area to answer some of the ongoing needs and set the guidelines of how
to operate. If the EIR needs to cover a greater area that could. be
done. Mr. Minasian has advised that 60 percent or greater on the west

g0~ side of Highway 99 and downstream on Rock Creek have indicated they
3 would like to form a district separate but would like a district formed
on the other side to help transport the water through. their district and
they will do the maintenance downstream. He would like to come back with
an expanded proposal. He would like to proceed with the plans for a county
service area.
Supervisor Dolan felt that because much of th=_area is approved,
the farmland is mostly surrounded by 50 percent that what would be in
the agricultural initiative would be if urban development is going to
proceed then urban improvements need to proceed.
Dan Blackstock, county counsel, stated that this is a large
drainage area and the discussion is about a county service area. There
is a liability in the event of £laod damage. There is a liability if the
assessment charges are overturned that they do not go to the benefit
of the property. If this were an assessment district they would be
for a public works project, a flood diversion project, and the county
would have ownership. He felt it would be a liability for the county.
He suggested that the people wanting the flood diversion .facilities should
put them in and maintain them. The county was sued in 1962 and the
insurance- carrier paid off on that suit. Some of the area might be
effected by the initiative and some might not be effected.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing: Jon Anderson. Mr.
Anderson was present to answer any questions on the drainage plans.
Hearing closed to the public and confined to the Board.
Supervisor Wheeler stated there was no problem with the concept
of the proposal. She fully realized the necessity for drainage in the
area. She wondered what was being requested.
Mr. Castleberry stated that if the Board did not feel that
the agricultural initiative would effect this. area he suggested that
the Board authorize him not to approve== he agreement but to bring back
a progosal or proposals to set the boundaries of future maintenance
entities; to work in relationship to the property owners on the west
side. who have indicated that it is their plan to form a district; to
include the extension of the environmental analysis to cover the area
which meets the ooncerns on the west side. He was only speaking of the
Rock Creek project. He would like to bring back a proposal that would
give direction and a schedule that could implement and meets the concerns
of which have been brought to the Board. This would include not only
the minimum requirements but those that would express the drainage
concerns that would allow development along the lines of the zoning
approved. This proposal would address the concerns of the property
owners on the west side. He agreed with Mr. Blackstock that the capital
facilities should be put in by each developer to the outfalls.
On motion of Supervisor Wheeler, seconded by Supervisor Dolan
and unanimously carried, the Public Works Director was authorized to
formulate a schedule of needs in the Rock Creek and Keefer Slough areas
as per his suggestion that would include the west side and cost estimates.

August 26, 1980
A public hearing date of September 17, 1980 at 10:00 a.m. was
yet for consideration of establishing per parcel service charges, on
the following county service areas: CSAs 1, I1, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22,
23, 24, 25, 30, 39, 40, 47 and 59.
Chairman Lemke advised that the Board had a letter from Fire
i7arden Teie relative to County Service Area 53.
Clif Nickelson, administrative officer, stated that Mr.
Teie was recommending that CSA 53 be abolished. He is recommending that
the revenue that would come in as revenue for CSA 53 should accrue to
the county since they will be providing the services. Tf this is abolished,
the upper ridge will be treated no differently than the zest of the county.
Tt was moved by Chairman Lemke that the Board accept the Fire
Warden's recommendation that CSA 53 be dissolved and the matter be referred
to LAFCo for a recommendation to the Board; Resolution be adopted
and the Chairman be authorized to sign.
Motion withdrawn.
Hearing ogen to the public. Appearing:
1. W111ard Shinners, on behalf of the Upper Ridge Coordinating
Council. Mr. Shinners was in favor of the intent of the letter written
to the Hoard about dissolving CSA 53. He was in full accordance with
the recommendation. There are several other organizations that are in
favor of dissolving CSA 53.
2. George Walser, DeSabla Volunteer Fire Department. Mr.
Walser felt that dissolving CSA 53 was a fair and equitable way to
provide fire services throughout the county.
Chairman Lemke stated that the Board had a letter from Sierra
Del Oro, Upper Ridge Coordinating Council and DeSabla Grange in favor
of dissolving the CSA 53.
Hearing closed to the public and confined to the Board.
~*
Jim Johansen, auditor, stated that once a district is dissolved
it would depend on how it is worded as to whether the county gets the
share of the $4 tax. rate. If it is a transfer of functions to the County
Fire Department then the share of the $4 tax rate could go to the county.
It was moved by Chairman Lemke, seconded by Supervisor Moseley
that the Board accept the Fire Warden's recommendation that CSA 53 .be
dissolved and the matter be referred to LAFCo for a recommendation to the
Board; Resoluuion ~ be adopted and the Chairman authorized to sign;
and for this to be considered as a reorganization in that CSA 53 will
be assumed by the County Fire Department and the reorganization to take
place in 1980-81.
Bill Turpin, LAFCo, asked for a clarification of the motion.
Was this for LAFCo to initiate by resolution of the Board and waive
all fees. If this is dissolving of the district, then this must be
initiated by the land owners and they must pay the fees. It would be
faster for the Board to initiate proceedings.
Motion amended:
The intent is to draft a resolution to dissolve CSA 53 finding
that a reorganization is being~dorie and the fire protection services will
be assumed by the County Fire Department.

though that County Counsel had been served. He would like the Bnard to
look at the claim. He asked that the Board look at the administrators
and they will not be getting involved in lawsuits against the county.
He asked that the Board acknowledge receipt of the fact the claim had
been received.
Dan Blackstock, county counsel, stated that the Clerk's Office
had received a claim address to the Butte County Sheriff's Office.
It will be handled later in the meeting.
Mr. Suttoff spoke regarding the Chico First Energy",Program.
This program is to get the community of Chico to cut back at least ten
percent of the energy consumption from one to six o`clock p.m. Through June
and July they have cut back eleven percent. PG&E will allocate $10,000
for every percentage point. He felt the program could he implemented in
every community in the county. He invited the Board to attend the
scavenger hunt.

Pf3BLIC HEARING: ALBERT HALPIN - APPEAL OF NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND ADVISORY
AGENCY'S DENIAL OF TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP, AP 71-02-8k, FOUR LOTS, ACCESS
OFF OF ROCKEFELLER ROAD VIA.HIDDEN SPRINGS ROAD AND HORSESHOE TRAIL, BALD
ROCK AREA
The public hearing on Albert Halpin appeal of negative declaration
and Advisory Agency's denial of tentative parcel map, AP 71-02-84, four
lots, access o£f of Rockefeller Road via Hidden Springs Road and Horseshoe
Trail, Bald Rock area was held as advertised.
Clay Castleberry, public works director, set out the background
of the appeal. The map was denied because of the fire safety measures and
.because of the concern on the length of the cul-de-sac. .The map is
four parcels of two to 2-2/3 acre each. The cul-de-sac is located at
the end of the deadend road.
Earl Nelson, environmental review director, set out the background
of the negative declaration. The environmental study was done at the
time a 40 acre piece was broken into 10 acres. This is a further division
of the ten acre parcel. He recommended a negative declaration.
Hearing open to the public. Appearing: Gordon Shields,
representing Albert Halpin. Mr. Shields stated there was no appeal of
'the negative declaration. The existing cul-de-sac or deadend road is shy
of the easterly boundary. This would extend the 60-foot easement to the
east boundary. The 60-foot easement going tc the south is not traversable.
The main concern was the fire protection requirements of putting a pump
on the property. The response times were not that bad.
Hearing closed to the public and confined to the Board.
On motion of Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Moseley
and unanimously carried, finding the proposed project could not have
a significant effect on the environment, a negative declaration was
.accepted.
Supervisor Dolan felt that the decision on the parcel map
should be delayed until the fire policy manual came forward to the Board.
On motion of Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Moseley
and carried, the appeal was upheld; the tentative parcel map, AP 71-02-84,
four lots, access off of Rockefeller Road via Hidden Springs Road and
Horseshoe Trail, Bald Rock area was approved subject to the following
conditions:
1. Verify legal access.
2. Provide 2-way traversable access RS-8-LD--I to each parcel from a
county maintained road or state highway.
3. Access to be reserved in deeds as per County Ordinance and offered

Supervisor Winston stated he found difficulty in making the
findings that this project is in conformity with the General Plan. During
the Planning Commissien hearing, Dr. Bennett made the statement he could
not see how the Planning Commission could find conformity with the General
Plan. He wondered how Supervisor Wheeler could find the project consistent
with the General Plan.
Supervisor Wheeler stated she found difficulty in that fact that
the .county implemented the General Plan change when the project had been
.started and was in conformity with the General Plan at that. time. Now the
zoning is no longer consistent with the General Plan. Application was
made prior to the change. She asked if the Board would be agreeable to
sending the project back to staff for a General Plan amendment.
Motion withdrawn.

Supervisor Wheeler stated she had met with the people in the
area. She agreed that she would not like to see multi-development constructed
in that area. The main concern of the residents was the high density
development. They would be acceptable for a "PA-C" zoning. The people
are concerned with people owning their own homes and do not want to see
transient population in the area. They are not totally against any
development in the area.

Russ Croninger asked when this area was going to be coming
before the Board for rezoning. He understood that the area was being
considered for medium residential five to eight units per acre. The
requirement for the use permit on this project was not for an apartment
house. The density was 7.7 units per acre. The reason they applied for
a use permit as opposed to the "PA--C" zoning was because of the time
period for approval. These will not be apartment houses.
Terri Latour stated that her client is the person who owns
the property. She felt that the use permit was to put a better use to
the land. This development was not for two-story development.

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.
Jim Johansen, auditor, set out the background of the information
that has been presented to the Board. There is information regarding
the net impact of salary and benefit increases. The total was-over
$2 million. Their office met with members of the Health, Mental Health
Page 194.

and Welfare Departments. The identified fees in the amount of $234,000
from Welfare and Mental Health-Departments, which will be available..%.to
meet the increased salary costs. Mental Health will reduce to the
scope of the program. The Auditor's Office has recaped the total
revenue from fees ahd state and federal subvention at $408,000. The
net impact on general revenue 3s $1,641,000, which is a little bit
closer to the estimated amount. The county has reached their maximum
for collection of Public Health subvention funds. There are some additional
fees that may or may not result that will help fund the Health Department
costs. There will be a generation of additional fees over and above
the additional staff requested.
Chairman Lemke asked if the special district augmentation
funds approved by the Board earlier in the meeting were picked up for
the Fire Department for their request for $288,000.
Mr. Johansen stated they were not picked up. The special
district augmentation funds that were previously distributed were not
included in the budget. They were reflected as an increase in revenue.
Mr. Johansen set out the informational item presented to
the Board regarding the status of 1980-81 budget financing as of
August 26, 1980. This is a recap of where the Board has come: There
is a summary of the first page. At this point, considering the adjusted
requirements and adjusted available revenue, there is $1,918,000 excess.
This takes into consideration what their office assumed was the
appropriation for contingency in the amount of $2,250,000. Page 2,
Schedule I is a recap of all the changes that occurred since the
proposed budget was adopted in June. He set out the information at
this time. Mr. 3ohansen set out the financial aid to local agencies
at this time. A provision in legislation deleted the business inventory
tax and was amended in late July, Chapter 610 this year, which provided
for subvention to Iocal agencies, Bounties and eRties, as a result of
an excess of bank incorporation taxes. The county received $108,000 in
cash which represented about one-half of the amount for this year.
This is an additional amount over and above what they were aware of.
The Health Department increases their Environmental Health
fees. The fee schedule has been adopted by the Board. It does not require
additional staffing. The restaurant inspection is something different.
There is a small amount of environmental services to the Town of Paradise.
There are a few other minor items. They revised the cost of living
factor and increased by $68,000 the Public Health Department state
subvention.
Mr. Johansen stated that 'on page 3 there would be a decrease
in revenue from County Service Area 53 as a result of the decision to
pursue dissolution or reorganization of the service area. They had assumed
that the revenue will;~not materialize"=,to the-Bounty.
Chairman Lemke asked if this amount would accrue to the County
Fire Department.
Clif Nickelson, administrative officer, stated that some would
be included in the schedule "A" contract with the state as the county
Fire Department staffs the County Service Area 53 station..
Mr, Johansen stated that when the proposed hudget was put
together they assumed that CSA 53 would pay the entire amount for
services provided. They would not be brought down to the level of their
share of the $4 tax rate.

August 26, 1980.
- Dick Puelicher, aud~r's office, stated there are two elements -
involved with CSA 53,property taxes ~based'u on the $4 tax rate and an
estimate of special district augmentation funds. A little more than
one-half was estimated to be recouped by services charges. They
would be precluded from adjusting with service charges.
Mr. Johansen stated that the net increase in revenue from
Schedule I is $1,960,000. On Schedule II they have recaped the changes
to requirements. The biggest change is in salary increases. The Board
had adopted the routine and minor changes. They assumed that the
Board's: intent was to reduce the appropriations by $963,922 to make
a change of $1,560,622.
Mr. Johansen stated that the unallocated finances in excess
of hhe budget requirements .is $1,918,000 which is available to address
the policy adjustments. This does not include the Sheriff`s
staffing request or any of the revenue sharing requests. He thought
that the jail construction was on the policy ddjustment list to
be considered. The Library is not included in the list. The bottom
line is the Board is starting the hearing today with $1,918,000 to
address the unmet needs the Board is facing.
Discussion of the contingency fund of $150,000 for the Library
held at this time.. Mr. Johansen stated that they had anticipated that
amount but the Board had taken no action. The special district augmentation
funds are part of the $1,918,000 for Board consideration.
Chairman Lemke stated that the total of the policy considerations
not including the Sheriff's request for additional staffing and the
Library totals $2,636,000.
Supervisor Winston stated that the praperty tax increase was
$610,000. Now the property taxes are going to increase in accordance with
a set formula of two percent per year plus the sales. According to the
actual costs, it takes $1,600,000 to collect $610,000. The county is
losing money.
Mr. Nickelson stated that he had discussed this matter with
Mr. Bennett from the State Board of Equalization. Mr. Nickelson felt
the county had a real problem. It makes a person wonder whether property
taxes should be abolished and have some other method of funding or some
sort of funding set up and handled ~mechanicalZy.-.-There are more costs
than just the Assessor's Office. There are the costs of the Auditor,
Tax Collector and Assessment Appeals Board. The Assessor's Office also
brings in money for the schools and cities. The cost is about $.80 to
collect $1.00 in taxes. If everyone were put on a flat rate, then they could
be handled on a computer.
Discussion of allocations held at this time:
$1,918,000 available financing
850,0.00_ jail construction contingency
$1,068,000
Chairman Lemke stated there is a possibility of putting
one-half of the $1.1 million in the contingency particularly with the
information presented earlier in the meeting regarding grants for
construction of jails. This would give. the Board an additional $1/G
million for-other expenditures.

J Mr. Nickelson stated the Board had not considered the budget
adjustments policy considerations or revenue sharing requests.
Chairman Lemke asked if the Board could agree on $550,000
for the jail construction to be placed in the reserve for contingency.
Mr. Nickelson stated that of the $1.1 million, the Board already
has $300,000 budgeted as a rebudgeted item. The Board is really talking
about $880,000.
Mr. Puelicher stated the county has already provided between
$250,000 and $300,000. There is an unfunded amount of $850,000. If
there wexe a grant for one-half it would be $550,000 and the Board would
need an additional $300,000 because there has been $250,000 provided.
Gerald Lively, deputy administrative officer, recommended
(that the Board allocate $850,000. They produced an estimate for construc-
tion. This was for the bare minimum. The estimate is one month old.
The Board of Corrections estimate is two months away. The $850,000
might not be enough. '
PUBLTC WORKS BUDGE'1
Clay Castleberry, public works director, spoke regarding
his departmental budget. The Board asked £or the cooperation of department
heads. Public Works has cooperated. They eliminated $1,100,000 worth of
projects. They have reduced staff. Their proposed budget was made on that
basis. The budget was made assuming no carryover in the department. At
the end of the year they had an unexpected appxopration excess of $300,000.
He asked that the Board consider putting some of the projects back in the
budget. There was $1.9 million reduced that was spent in the past on road
projects. He asked that the Board allocate $600,000 to $700,000 for road
projects. He was discouraged to see that there was not enough money to
be used. His office has cooperated with the Board. He had agreed to assume
no carryover funds. They are proposing to reduce one more position in the
department. He did not think any of the other departments had done this
in the past year. There are two projects that are the highest priority:
Lincoln Boulevard and Durham Highway. They would be able to get most of
i,the rQ,ad projects back in the budget for from between $600,000 and $700,000.
DISCUSSION: DECISION PACKAGES
Chairman Lemke stated that one of the things not taken into
consideration was the decision package that was requested earlier this
year. The only one that the Board has stripped of personnel or money
is Public Works. None of the other departments have been asked to
cut back as in the decision package. Their budgets stay as presented
so far. It might be good for the Board to consider the decision
packages and the impacts on the various budgets to help contribute.
A ten percent decrease across the board except for the Sheriff's
Office in travel would be $20,000. There are cuts that can be made.
and the Board has not addressed them.
Mr. Nickelson stated there were a couple of problems with
the decision packages. There were some departments that did not turn
in a decision package. The basic concept of putting togeCher the
budget was requested with a 100 percent budget. They are running into
problems. Some departments are requesting an increase over the 100
percent budget. The Board could find the money in a lot of places.
They could find it by not awarding some of the revenue sharing requests,
by not doing new projects, by not increasing over the 100 percent.
budget levels and by being careful about travel.

80- Mr. Castleberry stated the Auditor had advised him that to
~ put the projects back in the budget it would require $531,000.
SHERIFF'S BUDGET
Supervisor Winston stated that recently the Board concluded
negotiations as far as salaries with the Sheriff`s personnel. He
assumed that they were satisfactory on both sides. He wanted to preface
his remarks by the statement that he has known the Sheriff for many
years, almost 30 years.' He is the finest human being he has been
acquainted with. He hoped the Sheriff did not take his remarks personally.
He remembered three years ago approximately when the Board was presented
with a reorganization of the Sheriff's Department. At that time, the
Board was informed that if the reorganization was approved the problems
of the Shetiff's Department would be taken care of. By unanimous': vote
of the Board, they did agree to the reorganization plan. Now the Board
is told and using figures from the Auditor's Office that the program
presented to the Board is in the magnitude of $1.6 million to augment
the Sheriff's personnel staffing and so forth. In addition to that,
there is going to be an initiative petition to enact a county ordinance
to lock in certain staffing requirements and salaries which will even
change what the Sheriff has currently requested. Successful passage of
this will result in even more money. He submitted that so long as the
Sheriff's personnel have seen fit to assume the burden of obtaining
the necessary signatures to get this on the ballot, the staffing should
be determined by the ballot and not by the Board at this time. Anything
the Board does now is going to be of very little consequence.
Supervisor Moseley stated she had talked to a great many
people about the initiative. Those people do not believe that the initiative
is going to pass. The people she talked with thought the three-year plan
was a good one. The Sheriff`s Department has said no they want a two-year
plan.
Chairman Lemke was of the opinion that without addressing the
problem now during budget session that the Soard would be ruled by
initiative. He was going to work against the initiative. He felt the
problem had been presented. The problem is real. They are addressing
it in the jail at this time. The additional staffing requested does
not have that kind of impact because it did not come from an agency
like the state who came out and talked about the jail problems. ;The
Board appointed a commission to study the Sheriff's problems. They came
back with a recommendation. Their main recommendation was for POST
to do a survey. The Board has received additional information about'
a private concern doing the study. The top one would cost about $25,000.
He felt the Board needed to address the shortfalls in the Sheriff`s
Department at this time. The county should go forward with the study
whether private or POST. POST. is free. If the Board does not address
the police problem, he could almost guarantee that the initiative would
.pass.
Supervisor Winston stated that if the initiative passes it
was pretty obvious what would happen to county government. There will
be a decrease in other services '.included in all departments. It would
be a catastrophe.
Chairman Lemke £elt that it would be better to go over the
decision packages and work toward the goal after the professional study
can be made. He could not believe that whoever does the study is not
going to recommend more personnel based on the comparison of the counties
of the size and population of Butte County.

- ~ ~ Supervisor Wheeler asked that the study include what level
Cs needed and how. much money would be needed. She felt it should also
address the possibility of fa'rining districts in the rural areas.
Chairman Lemke stated that the problem started with the
request for deputies in the outlying areas. This is six or eight areas
needing additional patrol. Through the study and information there
has developed a request for considerably more. By implementing one-thixd
at a time it would not be overspending on law enforcement for outside
areas plus what is needed in the jail.
Supervisor Wheeler asked if the Board could initiate the
one-third request and the balance pending the outcome of the study?
Supervisor Dolan felt the study should be done. She felt the
Board should address the Sheriff's budget. The initiative came about
because the :people did not feel the Board was doing anything. The Board
needs to look at this seriously. Even putting one-third of the total
request on board and then doing the study, she was still not clear where
the one-third would be placed.and where the greatest need was. She wanted
to know where the one-third would be placed.
Chairman Lemke stated that the money would be deployed to
the Sheriff's Department and it would be the Sheriff's 'responsibility
to correctly place the personnel.
Mr. Nickelson stated the original request was for law
enforcement for patrols in the outlying areas. The requests covered a
good many other areas: jail, clerical, R&I and the communcations center.
He recommended that if the Board decided to grant part of the request
at this time, that a certain amount of money be earmarked in the reserve
and have a study as to whether there is a need for 67 deputies or 67
clerks. With no other department has the Board given abroad cross
section of employees without a study. One issue is how many people are
needed for patrol in the outlying areas. The other issue is how many
people in the jail and how many clerks. He felt the jail was the most
critical. There has been a lot of study on the jail.
Discussion of the resident deputy program held at this time.
Sheriff Gil3ick stated it was difficult to find people to serve as
resident deputies. The reason is that mostly a lot of the deputies do
not want to live in the area. On January 8, 1981 he will have been in
the Sheriff's Office 30 years. He felt that some people did not know
that lie knew where personnel should be placed. He has known this for
a long time. He has been before the Board for many years asking for
help. The jail is quite a concern at the present time. For years he
has asked for help in the jail. The concern has been since the county
became self-insured and a couple of law suits were filed.
Mr. Nickelson stated the issue of self-insurance has nothing
to do with the concern as it relates to the jail staff. For the last
eight or nine years the county has been self-insured because they had
a deductible of almost $l. million. It was not the issue of now we
are self-insured and now we are worried.
Supervisor Winston stated the concern in leis district was
the concern there was no qualified resident deputy in the mountain areas.
The county had resident deputies at one time. As far as he was concerned
this was the biggest concern of the citizens. They want their resident
deputies back.

Sheriff Gillick stated the resident deputies have+to meet

not object to a management survey of his department. He operates with
less personnel than does Placer, Shasta, Humboldt, Yolo and Glenn

and has the biggest population. POST was suggested for the survey. He
does not have any contact with that organization. He knew they would
come in and make a survey. They did a survey of his department in
1973. At that time, they said that the department was 37 persons short.
If the Board hired a private firm, he requested the privilege of knowing
what law enforcement agency background they had.
Supervisor Winston stated that on 3une ll, 1980 the Sheriff
sent a copy of the presentation made to the committee to the Board.
He was on the committee but was unable to attend the meetings due
to illness. In reviewing the request for manpower and the cost on page
28 at $1.6 million this included a total of 16 ,jailer positions. The
Board has allocated ten positions in the jail at this time. The
Board has put in $150,000 already.
gheri~ff:.:Gillick stated that the only trouble with having resident
deputies is they are out of control of the main office. He indicated
they could use men from the main office in the mountain areas. It is
difficult to find people willing to be resident deputies. For many
years there were resident deputies in the mountain areas called one-half
time deputies. They were paid one-half salary and were paid for their
automobiles. He liked the resident deputy concept. The patrols in the
outlying areas would be the first to be placed on patrol. This is
.the first concern of the Sheriff. .
RECESS: 3:15 p.m.
RECON`IENE: 3:27 p.m.
Supervisor Wheeler stated at one time she worked for the
Sheriff' Department. Her concern was where the money was coming from
to pay for the request. This is why she wanted a study. She felt that
in the near future the people in the county along with the county family
are going to have to face the reality that there is not enough money
to pay for the level of emergency services that the people are asking
for. From the study, she would like to see a recommendation to take
this to the people and see if an assessment district is possible for
service charges to provide the needed services. She was acceptable to
the one-third of the xequest at this time. She would like assurance that
the one-third request would. be used in the rural area.
Sheriff Gillick assured the Board that the first one-third
if approved would be placed in the outlying areas.
Dick Stenberg, undersheriff, presented a revised request for
this year. This request includes 27 deputies and the elminiation of
11 jailers. .They are proposing to hire three deputie ~ier month
beginning in October until the 27 are hired. They are committed to
placing the people back in the mnuntain areas. The people in
the mountain areas would ~eC better coverage out of the main office.
This proposal would cost $450,fl00 for the next nine months.
Mr. Lively stated when the proposal was discussed with
the Sheriff there was discussion regarding transportation personnel
being considered with the jail personnel. He did not have anything to
offer at this time other than the consideration of three transportation
officers in addition to the jailer positions. The Sheriff agrees with
Page 2~0.

three positions. The county could hire three CETA positions. He-
recommended that three positions be considered at this time.
Mr. Nickelson stated that out of the money left over there
are three transportation officers and some CETA personnel recommended.
Mr. Stenberg stated with the addition of the three transportation
of€icers the proposal would be approximately $550,000. They are still
about three under what was recommended. He felt it was important for
the citizens in the area to be afforded the protection as in the jail.
Supervisor Dolan felt she needed more information like she
had for the jail regarding where the personnel would be placed. She
was willing to earmark $600,000. She would like $450,000 better.
She did not want to see it spent until after the study had been completed.
Mr. Stenberg stated that it takes three months to fill one
position. They are committed to the residents of the rural and mountain
areas. They want to run the personnel through a central location. If
they started hiring the first of October and placed three positions on
board, the study might be completed and they could then see what the
study shows. They are only asking for three clerical positions in the
revised request. They are primarily concerned 9;n hiring the 27 of the
31 patrol deputies requested.
Supervisor Winston did not think the mountain people would
have any better protection than they have now without the resident deputies.
He made a statement regarding the people within the cities paying double
for police protection. The people in the cities decided the level of
protection they wanted and agreed to pay so much per capita. He felt
that under the enabling legislation, the people in the county should
make a decision on the amount of money they are willing to pay for
police services. He has made no comparison on the amount of tax revenue
derived from the various areas. He believed in equity for paying for
what a person gets. He resented building up to an urban type of protection
where the people in the cities are paying double for the service.. He
did not think bodies were the answer. He set out a problem that developed
in his neighborhood. He was willing to place resident deputies in the
mountains.
Supervisor Dolan asked how the deputies would be added?
Mr. Stenberg stated there would be three added in October,
three in November and three in December until all had been Nixed.
Supervisor Dolan stated there were more than nine areas requesting
patrols. She wondered where the Sheriff's Office would place the first
deputies. She felt there should be an analysis before the people are
placed on patrol. She was concerned that if a patrol was placed in ane
of the outlying areas it would be difficult to pull that patrol if
it were found that another place needed the patrol more than they did.
On motion of Supervisor Wheeler, seconded by Supervisor Dolan
and carried, $15,000 was allocated for a study of the Sheriff's Department
with tihe Administrative Officer and the Sheriff to agree on who will
do the study. AYES: Supervisors Dolan, Wheeler and Chairman Lemke.
NOES: Supervisors Moseley and Winston.
Discussion of the amount of money needed to implement the
program as revised and submitted by the Sheriff's Department held at
this time.

- Mr. Johansen-stated the amount of money for this fiscal year
would be on the number of positions that axe designated. The Board
would have to indicate the number of positions and the implementation time.
He felt the Board should also consider the annual cost of what they are
talking about.. The amount is a great deal higher than $960,000
with the jailers. It has a significant price tag for next year.
Chairman Lemke stated that the Board should approve the
positions as they go along. This would make the Board aware of the
positions hired after the study has been completed. The study will
indicate where the need is and the figure of $500,000 is acceptable
on that basis. This would allow for 27 deputies, three clerks, three
transportation officers and the miscellaneous items necessary to
implement the program.
Mr. Johansen stated that in order to adopt a salary ordinance
there has to be a provision for the appropriation to pay for any position
that is added. It would be possible to place the funds in the
appropriation for contingency and. consider the positions each time.
On motion of Supervisor Wheeler, seconded by Supervisor Dolan
and carried, $500,000 allocation was made for the Sheriff's Department for
hiring 27 deputies, three transportation officers, three clerical personnel
and the miscellaneous vehicle and maintenance items as detailed in
the manpower budget expanses to be placed in the appropriation for
contingencies and earmarked. AYES: Supervisors Dolan, Moseley, Wheeler
and Chairman Lemke. NOES: Supervisor Winston
Supervisor Winston stated that the county could expect a
lawsuit in this county like the one filed in Los Angeles County.
RECESS: 4:05 p.m.
RECONVENE: 4:22 p.m.
LIBRARX BUDGET
Discussion of the request for $150,000 for the Library held
at this time.
Mr. Lively stated they were almost to the point of being ready
to go to bid on the Chico Library. The budget the Board set for the Chico
Library is $1-1/2 million. It is now taking longer to have the Library
built. They are now faced with an additional $1/2 million. The architect .
costs are based on eight percent of the construction costs. Thera will
be a percentage for construction and a percentage for inspection.
Discussion of the proposal for the building of the new libraries
held at this time. Dan Blackstock, county counsel, stated there is no
ballot proposal needed for this proposal.
', Supervisor Wheeler stated that with a nonprofit organization
formed with a lease and lease back arrangement, there is no need for an
election. The Paradise schools were built in this manner.
On motion of Supervisor Wheeler, seconded by Supervisor Dolan
and unanimously carried, a contingency of $150,000 was allocated for
the Chico and Gridley Libraries with $20,000 going for bond counsel
to formalize the structuring of the nonprofit corporation.
Letters from the City Council in Gridley and Dorothy Russell
in support of the Gridley Library were acknowledged.

80- FIRE DEPARTMENT BUDGET
b On motion~of Supervisor Dolan, seconded by Supervisor Moseley
and unanimously carried, $30,273 was appropriated for the Schedule "A"
contract.
Lemke stated the Board had $372,727 left to consider.
Mr. Castleberry stated the Auditor had indicated earlier there would
be a need for $531,000 to put most of the projects back in the budget.
This would include all the projects except the extension of Bruce Road.
This would be a total of $371,000 if the new extension is reduced. He
hoped the Board could fund rehabilitiation of the existing rands. It
would be very difficult to say which of the two roads, Durham Road or Lincoln
Boulevard, was the highest priority.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S BUDGET
Supervisor Wheeler stated there were still some vital items
to be considered. She was concerned about the CJIS program. The Board
tentatively committed $93,000. The District Attorney is .requesting
an office in Paradise for $60,000. This makes a total of $153,586.
Mr. Nickelson felt that the CJIS program was the most important
of the two requests by the District Attorney. It is quite possible that
more money could be available because of the anSi-recession funds or
local public works money or funds through the state for jail construction.
Supervisor Wheeler stated a portion of the $93,000 for the CJIS
program would go toward purchase and upgrading of the existing data
processing systems.
PUBLIC WORKS BUDGET
Nancy Kepner, Durham, spoke regarding the roads in the county.
The second week of March there was work done on Ord River Road. The holes
in that road were filled twice. She asked the workers why the holes
.were being filled a second time and was told that the first time they
were done wrong. The Public Works Department repaired the same place
in the road four times this gpring before they completely redid the road.
Ms. Kepner was advised to discuss the matter with the Public
Works Director.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S BUDGET
Hal Brooks, district attorney's office, spoke regarding the
requests by the District Attorney. He knew how critical the staffing
forthe Paradise Office was. Secondly, he was speaking for law enforcement
asking for support of the CJIS program. He felt this program was more
important now that the Board had considered additional personnel for the
Sheriff's Department. The efficiency on the street is not multiplied
by the number of bodies. There is software systems for the CJIS program.
He set out w$at the system would do for law enforcement. This program
would give the police officers the kind of information seeded in order
to become more efficient. As far as priorities, he supported the District
Attorney's request for staffing for the Paradise Office first.
DISCUSSION: DISTRIBUTION OF REMAINING FUNDS AVAILABLE
Chairman Lemke stated that if the Board left one-half of
the $1.1 million in the appropriation for contingencies for the jail
that would leave a balance of $922,727 to work from. The Board could
allocate the following and have a balance of $17,1k1:
Page 2fl3.

August 26, 1980
Roads J T$531,000
CJIS program _ 43,0.00
District Attorney 60,834
Fire Department 220,000
Supervisor Winston stated that the county pays professional
people to advise them and then to ignore it was not right. He could
not support a budget prepared with these allocations.
Chairman Lemke stated that would leave $550,000 for the jail
construction.
Mr. Puelicher stated that the annual requirements would be
increased by $l-1/2 million with a motion in support of those figures.
The annual cost for the Sheriff and the debt services for the Chico
Library would approach $330,000. The Board would be put in a position
of starting over $3-1/2 million worse in July, 1981.
Chairman Lemke stated at this time there is no money for the
Fire Department or the Public Works Department. The money is there if
the Board wants to listen to the picture presented by Mr. Lively
regarding the possibility for a grant for the jail construction.
It was moved by Supervisor Wheeler, seconded by Chairman_
Lemke that the following amounts be allocated:
Roads $531,000
CJIS Program 93,000
DA Paradise Office 60,834
Fire Dept. 220,000
Vote on motion:
AXES: Supervisor Wheeler and Chairman Lemke
13.OES: Supervisors Aolan, Moseley and Winston
Motion failed.
Supervisor Winston stated his basic argument with the motion
was that there was a fantastic amount of money given to the Sheriff
for law enforcement. This motion is talking about an additional amount
of money for the District Attorney's Office. This would amount to an
additional $150,000 for law enforcement. This would make a total of
$650,000 for law enforcement. He felt the Board was going overboard
on the allocations for law enforcement. From what he understood that
went on during the jail discussions, the Board had better not take a
chance and should allocate the entire $850,000 for the jail construction.
Supervisor Dolan agreed with Supervisor Winston on the amount
of money being appropriated for law enforcement. It is a great deal of
money for the 27 positions in the Sheriff's Department. They have already
approve ten positions. She felt that by placing the money in the reserve
there would be a reserve increase and they could lmok at the request
on a person to person basis.
Supervisor Wheeler questioned what type of impact there would
be if the people in the rural areas were to vote for police and fire
protection and pay a service charge?
Nr. Nickelson stated possibly the Auditor could do a statistical.
report as to what it would cost the people in the outlying areas.

The money is coming fromTthe cities and not the farmers-on the flat
land for the fire and police protection. Everyone is concerned about the
statistics. He referred to CSA 53 and what happened there. To come up
with roads and fire protection requirements there would be a need for an
additional $278,000.
Chairman Lemke stated $378,000 was from the reserve for the jail..
They are $378,000 short to address roads and fire protection.
Mr. Lively stated there is a need for $850,000 for match money
for a grant for the jail. They will need separate facilities for different
offenses. They are going to need 80 cells. He felt the $850,000 was a
nice match to cover the costs of construction. The $250,000 in the budget
is for one dormitory with no interior walls. Tt would cost $50,000 for a
single room. They like 25 to 30 percent for a contingency. He would be
satisified with the $450,000 for the jail construction but it would be a
gamble. The county will have problems if they do not get the grant for
the jail construction.
Aiscussion of the meals-on-wheels programs-.held'at:tl~i~-time.
Supervisor Moseley hoped there would be sufficient money available for
the programs. The amount needed for both programs is $14,700.
Mr. Mickeison asked that the Board consider a very important
item. This is the $761 for the equipment for the Clerk's Office relative
to the grant proposal.
Discussion of the District Attorney's requests for additional
personnel for the Paradise office held at this time.
Will Mattly, district attorney, stated that the request for the
Paradise office was not only the additional workload generated by=the
Paradise Police Department but a policy matter and the additional request
and approval of deputies will have an effect on the woTlcload•. The
workload is present at this time. The workload in Chico is being generated.
The judge would like to see four people in the Chico area. These people
could also assist with Paradise.
Mr. Lively spoke regarding the jail construction project at this
time. He asked that the Board allocate as much as they can at this time.
From €he input it lookes like this will be a $1.1 to $1.2 million project.
There is a rebudget of $280,000 minus the architect`s expenses. He will
be meeting with the architect relative to proceeding with a cost estimate.
Tf they can gat the grant with AB2~45 money at $1-1/2 million, it will not
be bad. Tf the grant is not possible, they will be coming back requesting
more money.
Discussion of the road budget held at this time. Mr.
Castleberry stated that if the budget was cut back to $400,000 it would do
away with one project.
Tt was moved by Supervisor Wheeler, seconded by Supervisor Dolan
that the following be adopted:
$1,918,000 available financing
