AUTHORIZED LETTER TO BE WRITTEN TO REPRESENTATIVES IN WASHINGTON
Bob Crisan, Welfare Director, reported that the State Department
had notified the County that the contract with the :post office was not
acceptable to them as the postoffice does not take any responsibility
for the food stamps. Mr. Crisan explained how the food stamps have been
handled to this date. The State has suggested that theCounty set up a new
type issuance plan for distribution of the £ood stamps.
Mr. Crisan said that the only other method of handling the
food stamps would be to mail them to the recipients. This would be quite
expensive. The present method of issuing the stamps is the least costly
in the State. There has been no problem with security up to this date.

74-1531 AUTHORIZE FULL TIME MAINTENANCE MAN FOR JWENILE HALL: AUTHORIZE
PURCHASE OF DRYER FOR JUVENILE HALL: STATUS OF REPAIRS TO THE BUILDING DISCUSSED
Dan Blackstock, County Counsel, said he had received a letter
from Don Nissen, Chief Probation Officer, concerning construction of the
Juvenile Hall facility. They are proceeding in getting the plans and specs
in order.
He went out to the present Juvenile Hail yesterday. The painting
has been done at the Hail. He has requested that Mr. Castleberry move along
as quickly as possible with the repairs to the Nall.
A letter was received from the Youth Authority in which they
state that they await the County's reinspection of the Juvenile Hall.
They suggest that the Board have all the County agencies review the Hall
again atd submit new reports. They are willing to send someone up to
look again at the building. Supervisor Ladd could go along with them when they
make their inspection.
Mr. Blackstock stated he had discussed the Hall with Mr. Castleberry
and with Juvenile Hall workers. The maintenance situation at the Hall got
ahead of them. There should be a fulltime maintenance man on out at the
Ha11 just to do their maintenance work. He suggested that it might be well
if the Board members visited the Hall occassionally and look at the situation.
There is also a problem with the laundry; one of the machines keep breaking
down. Page 370.
October 29, 1974
October_29,_1974
Mr. Blackstock felt that these little problems could adversely
affect any endeavor to keep the hall in a condition that would meet with
the approval of the Xouth Authority. Mr. Blackstock said he would like
Board's direction today about obtaining new inspections and new reports
and about the State doing another iaspect3on. He suggested, also, that
the Board could authorize the building maintenance department to supply a
man for the Hall.
Nr. Nickelson was requested to take care of coordinating the
re-inspection of the facility by the departments involved.
It was moved by Supervisor NcKillop, seconded by Supervisor Cameron
and carried that a maintenance man be authorized for the Juvenile Hall on a
full time basis, to be filled preferably by a CETA employee, and authorized
the purchase of a clothes dryer for the Hall.
74-1632 AUTHORIZE CLINICS TO GIVE FLU SHOTS FOR PEOPLE 55 to 65 YEARS OF AGE
Dr. Enloe stated that the Board had raised the question about
lowering the age for flu vaccine immunizations. He said there are about
10,000 people in the County in the age bracket of 55 to 65 that could be
immunized. The cost would be $1.00 per unit. The present program of giving
the flu shots to those over 65 years of age has been very well received.
Dr. Erlingheuser estimates that there would be an additional
$5,000 cost for the vaccine. This would not include the costs for
operating the clinics. Supervisor Cameron felt the shots could be given
to the age group 55 to 65 at the same time the clinic was operating to
give the shots for those over 65 years of age. Nino Calarco stated that the
present clinics are running for about two hours each.
Immunization shots for flu discussed. County Counsel said he
would report back to the Board as to whether the County can charge the
$1.00 for the shots.
It was moved by Supervisor Cameron, seconded by Supervisor McKillop
and carried that authorization be granted for the setting up of clinics to
give flu shots for those people 55 to 65 years of age, to charge a fee of
$1.00 per shot, with the Auditors office working out the procedure for the
$1.00 charge and to give the shots even if the $1.00 fee cannot be charged.
74-1633 DISCUSSION: REVENUE SHARING REQUESTS
There are four requests remaining for the Board to consider for
revenue sharing. Supervisor McKillop said there were some questions about the
ones that the Board did approve. Supervisor Gilman said the reason for the
low usage by the Sickle Cell study was that the money was not available
when it was needed. They wanted the money before the testings were made.
Dr. Enloe said there were some problems last year with the Sickle
Cell Anemia study. They had to spend the money first and then the County
would reimburse them. The problems have been worked out now. Walter Atkins
is working on the contract now. They are being paid on a monthly basis
until the maximum amount of the contract is reached. Contract explained.
Dr. Enloe stated that the Health Department would work with them.
Medical and Dental Access Frogram discussed. Dr. Enloe said the
major problem here is to find a director to run the program. A Public Health
Nurse has been appointed to provide for this service, but they are still
looking for the project director that could be appointed. Nr. Atkins said
the program is starting to take shape. Whoever should be appointed to
manage this program should have a ood basic medical background. They would
age 371.
October 29, 1974
_O~tgbQr_24,_147~
also need a good county background. It has been very difficult to hire someone
that has the medical qualifications. Dr. Enloe said they had been operating
this program since last February.
Chairman Madigan said he would like to have some of these items
put over until Supervisor Ladd was present. He requested that discussion
of the E1 Medio Eire District and the Feather River Opportunity Center
requests be put over until November 12th meeting; Board members concurred
with this requeat.
Ra a Crisis
The request of Rape Crisis discussed. Supervisor Gilman said the
phone service was already available to this group through the Bridge. He
feels that this organization should be incorporated with the Bridge; the
County should not crank up a whole new program. The Bridge already has the
staff to handle any emergency. Mr. Bosworth said there was a duplication
of services here. The Bridge could handle the services offered by Rape Crisis.
Discussed whether the Bridge could handle the calls in this matter.
Dr. Enloe said the main question is Chat the Rape Crisis would have
to give the Bridge another telephone for these calls; the Bridge does not have
the facility to handle a switch board. The Rape Crisis people feel that
they need to have a direct contact to take the individual involved through
the process. It was felt that a switch board facility at the Bridge
would cast more than to give a phone to the Rape Crisis organization.
Rape Crisis program discussed.
It was moved by Supervi~r McKillop and seconded by Supervisor Cameron
that the County £und the Rape Crisis program in the amount of $695, with the
request that Rape Crisis and the Bridge do get together and attempt to provide
the services as one agency, sub3ect to County Counsel's approval of the
action.
AYES: Supervisors Cameron and McKillop
NOES: Supervisor Gilman and Chairman Madigan
MOTION FAILED.
It was suggested that this be put over until November 12th
and that someone from Rape Crisis be present to discuss the request.
Butte Count Mentall Retarded Pra ram.
Budget for the Butte County Mentally Retarded program discussed.
Supervisor Cameron felt that the program was run on a business like manner.
Lorenzo Diamond, Executive Director, explained how this service had
been supplied in the past. Part of the proposal is the continuation of the
information office. Mr. Diamond explained the budget; they have not been
able to increase the salaries. One clerk has been let go due to lack of
funds.
Supervisor Gilman asked Dr. Enloe to respond to the matter of
the costs for administrative functions. Dr. Enloe said they have been
working under a grant in the past but the grant runs out in December.
He explained the matter of the information center. Supervisor Gilman said he
was not opposed to helping the function but he thinks this is an awfully
big donation towards an administrative function.

It was moved by Supervisor Cameron, seconded by SupervisorMcKillop

Mentally Retarded, Incorp., for services rendered through the Health Department,
with the proper contract to be prepared, naming the Association as the agency,
subject to the necessary doC~imentation for the Auditor's office.
Supervisor Gilman stated that it was to be noted that he voted
for this motion, but he really does not like all that money for administrative
functions.

74-1640 CITY-COUNTY LIBRARY SITE DISCUSSION (CHICO)
Dave Rush, attorney at law, said he was checking in for the City
of Chico to let the Board know that the City is asking that this matter be
continued for a couple of weeks. The Board of Supervisors had requested
that the City go back and assess their position regarding possible sites.
They did go back and do this. There were several sites suggested, and a
public hearing was held to discuss the sites. The people were against
building a building in the Bidwell Park. Mayor Ringel suggested the
possible site of 250-260 East First Street. The site was looked at by
the City Councilmen and the site was discussed.
They met with the Library Committee and they felt that a
preliminary feasibility study should be made. Site and building involved
set out and discussed. On October 15th, the City Council authorized
Tom Fox, architect, to continue with his study.
At this time the Library Committee has not recommended
anything to the City Council. TheCity Counsel has not made a recommendation
to the Board of Supervisors. The report might suggest that the site is
not feasible. November 6th is scheduled for the next City Council meeting
and at that meeting the report will be back from the architect. A list o€
sites in the order of priority will be set out.
.They would like this matter placed back on the Board agenda for the
meeting following the City of Chico's meeting, or November 12th. Supervisor
Cameron said he had looked at the site. There are economic problems there;
there are some long-term leases. Chairman Madigan said that Dr. Peters, the
owner of the property, is not in favor of this matter.

74-1644 REFER THOMAS & JANE CHASE REZONING BACK TO PIANNING COMPffSSION FOR
CONSIDERATION AND TO INITIATE AR-MH ZONING FOR AREA
Jim Lawson, Planning Director, stated that there were some people
present concerned about the Thomas & Jane Ghase request for rezoning for
an area in Paradise. The Board had referred their request back to the
Planning Commission and last week the Planning Commission reaffirmed their
original recommendation of approval of the RT-1 zoning.
Dan Blackstock, County Counsel, stated that the application was
for RT-1 zoning. The Board held a hearing on the RT-1 zoning request and
sent it back to Planning Commission for their consideration of AR-MH zoning.
The-Planning Commission reports back that they reaffirm their recommendation
for RT-I zoning. The Board should now decide the issue at this time.
He thinks that from Che standpoint of public in-put, that maybe the Board
would want to hold another hearing.
Supervisor Cameron felt that another hearing should be held.
Chairman Madigan felt the Board should support the Planning
Commission.
Action to be taken discussed. It was suggested that the RT-1 zoning
application should be tabled at this time and hold hearings and consider the
AR-MH zoning. At this time, the Board could take no action on the zoning
proposal but instruct the Planning Commission to initiate the AR-MH
zoning for the area included in the original application of the Chases.
The Planning Commission would hold the initial hearing. Supervisor Gilman
felt that the person thaC paid the fee for the zoning has a right to a
decision. The decision is up to this Board.
Supervisor McKillop said he felt he could not act on the RT-1
zoning today. Re would like to hear the in-put on an AR-MH zone.
It was stated that the issue at this time is whether or not the
Board is going to approve or deny the RT-1 zoning.
It was moved by Supervisor Cameron, seconded by Supervisor McKillop
and carried that the Board request the Planning Commission to initiate and
hold hearings on AR-M13 zoning for the original 26 acres set out in the Chase
application for zoning.
AYES: Supervisors Cameron, Gilmad;'and McRillop October 29, 1974

74-1645 DISCUSSION: ACQUISITION OF SITE FOR LIBRARY SERVICES TN DURHAM
Supervisor Gilman stated that the Memorial Hall in Durham has
requested that the library use of the Hall be vacated. They t~a~e use
of the space. An alternate location will have to be found for the library.
Supervisor Gilman said there was a building that has some potential.
The building is outlined in a memo from Mr. Struthers to the Board members.
Supervisor Gilman requested that the Board give consideration to this site.
Mr. Nickelson stated he had viewed the site with Mrs. Terry,
County Librarian. She felt the site was adequate; there would be some
minor remodeling that would have to be done. The location is all right for
the library.
Tom Struthers, Purchasing Agent, reported on the matter. They have
received a fair offer of $44,000 for this site. This would be for the land
and the building. Mr. Struthers feels that this is a good offer. There is
only one problem with the site. The property has been split of£ from another
parcel and this parcel does not have a septic tank.
Parking situation discussed. There are no formal arrangements
for the parking. The property is deep enough so that there would be no
problem in parking behind the building. There has been some concern ..over the
sideyard requirement. An easement would have to be acquired from the
adjacent property.
Acquisition of site discussed. Supervisor McKillop said he
would like to look at the site and the building. Supervisor Gilman said
he would like this matter moved along; he feels that this was a good buy
and a good location.
Discussion placed back on the agenda for November 12th, 1974.
Board members will view the site prior to that date.
74-1646 MATTERS PRESENTED BY BOARD MEAiBERS
Supervisor Cameron brought up the subject of the budget and
funds in the Economic Development Commission budget. He said he would
like this matter placed on the agenda; he feels this should be looked at
in the near future. Donations to the Chamberscof Commerce should be
discussed. Re-allocation of donations in the future should be discussed.
He was told that this matter c wld be discussed prior to next budget session.
The (umbers should be notified that the Board is considering re-allocation
of funds to the Chambers; they should come up with justification for their
allocations.

was felt that the Economic Development Commission Director should explain
this matter. Placed on the agenda for December 3rd, 1974.
Supervisor Cameron stated that he had been receiving telephone
calls concerning errors in the ballots that have gone out. He has received
a call from Congressman Johnson about the omission of his name on the sample
ballot; this has been corrected by the placing of an additional page in
the sample ballots that have been mailed. Ballots discussed; he felt there
was quite a foul up on some of the ballots. He was Cold that i£ there were
any problems, the people should discuss the ballots with Clark Nelson, the
County Clerk. Other errors in the ballots discussed. Discussed; no
action taken.

Junk Wreckers, Chico. They have not had a 1iFense since 1970. Chairman
Madigan asked County Counsel why he had not answered this memo from
Mr, Fer~son. Mr. Blackstock said there was +~ 'c'~eBtion as to whether
this man was doing business at this site. Chairman Madigan felt that
County Counsel should look at these memos and handle them as they are
given to him, Mr. Blackstock felt these should be handled in Executive
Session. Chairman Madigan brought up another matter concerning a
possible perjury count on the school propositions. Mr. Blackstock stated
that the School Board was having a meeting on Wednesday and this matter
will be discussed. Chairman Madigan felt that if there was a perjury
count involved it should be handled by County Counsel and the District Attorney.
Mr. Blackstock said they would proceed along as has been suggested; evidence
will be submitted to the Grand Jury.
Mr. Blackstock reported on the matter of the audit exception;
this is where the Feds want to disclaim some of the States exemptions.
The claim cuts would not start until January 1975. He felt the Board would
be interested in knowing that the immediate implementation of the
claim cut has been put off. Action will be filed in December. Matter
discussed; no action taken.
