74-1467 DISCUSSION: WATER ENTITLEMENTS
Dan Blackstock, County Counsel, stated that they have been in
discussion with the Department of Water Resources concerning the contract
for water. He requested the Board members to think about what, if any, of
the por',ion that is allocated to us do we want to keep, He asked the
Board if the County was in a position to release any of the water. He said
he has a feeling that the Department of Water Resources will have some
proposals concerning this water.
Water discussed. Supervisor McKillop felt it might be well to
have Mr. Nickelson or Nr, Blackstock study the report regarding why we
had requested this amount of water. A study was made at the time. Mr.
Nickelson will get copies of the study and forward them to the Board members.
Mr. Stamm said there were a couple of things pending. The County
might be able to pay for this water without using it and could then recoup
'.he water later, He suggested that it might be well to go and discuss this
matter with the Department of Water Resources. He feels the County should
proceed with caution on this matter of the water to be used by the County.
Supervisor Ladd asked whether it would be practical or feasible to
use this wateY, for irrigation, whey the cost factor of the water is
considered. Mr, Stamm feels that the water is too expensive for agricultural
purposes.
No action taken at this time.

Creek Rd., east of Rock~rfeller Rd., northeast of Oroville, be rescinded;
that the Planning Director secure a waiver on the map £rom Mr. Anderson, and

74-1469 DISCUSSION: RECOMMENDATIONS OF REVENUE SHARING COMMLTTEE AND
JWENILE HALL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
Ciif Nickelson, Administrative Officer, stated he did not know
whether to list these two discussions or not to list them, With Supervisor
Oilman absent, he did not know whether the Board ~-~ou1d want to discuss these
items.
Supervisor Ladd said he had been doing some study as to what
could be changed or eliminated from the proposed plans. He feels that the
costs should be reduced considerably before proceeding.
Costs of remodeling explained. Classrooms proposed discussed.
Supervisor Ladd said he has had reports from Juvenile Hall showing that the
average length of stay is about 7 days. There are many of the juveniles
that stay only one day. He does not feel that classrooms would actually
benefit those juveniles that stay less than a week. There are not that
many that would actually use the classrooms. Supervisor Ladd feels that
the classroom area could be reduced materially. 'The added office for the teacher
is not needed. One of the classrooms contain more space than the Hall has
at present. Four classrooms really are not needed. Supervisor Ladd set out
ways that the proposed Juvenile Hall could be reduced,

Supervisor Ladd said that if the alternate on the heating and air
conditioning were to be used, there would be a deduct of $23,000. The fence
is needed but a 16' fence around this Hall would cost about $40,000. Type
fence that could be used discussed. Supervisor Ladd felt that a 8' high fence
with maybe barbed wire or a little hardware cloth on top might be used.
Modifying existing kitchen discussed. Discussed the doing away of the
proposed covered ramp.
Supervisor Cameron said he felt that it was the concensus of
this Board that they want to stay as close as possible to the budgeted
amount of funds. He feels that the classrooms are needed. He set out
his thinking concerning Che plans.
Supervisor Ladd said that Mr. Castleberry has been helping go
over the plans and helping with suggesting where the building could be
changed. It is felt that there needs to be more study on the building.
The Committee needs to meet with the architect and go over the plans. He
said he could not disagree with the statements made this morning; maybe
the Board is going to have to hold some meetings to get the in-put from the
public. He does not believe it would be good to make a decision at this
time on the proposed plans.
Matter put over one week.
REVENUE SHARING RECOMhiENDATI0N5
Recommendations of the Revenue Sharing Committee discussed.
Supervisor Ladd felt that Supervisor Gilman should be present when a decision is
made on this matter. He said he does not know whether the Board should
make the decision concerning Juvenile Hall cont~-ngent on the funds for
Revenue Sharing.
Supervisor Cameron said that the lack of action by the Board was
causing some problems for some of these agencies. They would like to know
if the Board is going to approve funding for them.
Chairman Madigan stated that the Board had received a letter
from the Work Training Agency in Chico. They are listed on the recommendation
sheet from the Committee as being completely out. The Board should let
them know that they are not being considered for funding. He felt the Board
should let the agencies know if they are not recommended to receive any
funding.

and carried, that the first seven agencies recommended by the Revenue
Sharing Committee to receive funding be placed back on the agenda next

74-1470 PUBLIC WORKS ITEMS APPROVED

agreement with the City of Gridley for the Gridiey Fire Station should
be discussed. The City of Gridley owns the property where the fire station
will be built. The agreement with the City for this station has been
approved with minor changes. He felt that maybe the Board should not call
for bids for the station until the County has received and approved the
agreement. Supervisor Ladd felt that the call for bids should go forward
and he would like to see the County proceed with this station.
On motion of Supervisor McKillop, seconded by Supervisor Ladd
