of our Congressmen and Senators and maybe with the Governor and discuss the
contract with the State. He did not see why the State would not enter into
a contract with the County; the County could provide the necessary insurance.

quite an issue with the employees. He and Mr. Nickelson talked to the City
Manager; he thought the County could lease the lot for an interim period.

these employees with a parking place. If the County could request a variance
and it was granted, the employees could use this parking place and it would
take care of part of the pre~lem.

do no harm seeing if the County could obtain a variance from the City of

lot.

Supervisor Gilman stated that last week, two members brought up
the matter of the sale of tax deeded property. The Board had requested a
report. Supervisor Gilman said he would like a response from the Tax Collector' s
Office; he feels that this matter bears investigation. He would like to
hear the other side of the story. If the current tease. had been accepted,
how could the property be sold for prior taxes. Supervisor Gilman said he
was ,sure that the Tax Collector could come up with an explanation.
Supervisor Ladd said he had some information that stated that about
five years or more ago the taxes were not paid. But each year since then the
taxes had been paid. He also feels that this matter should be looked into.
Supervisor Cameron said he would suggested that the Tax Collector
appear before the Board and explain what actually happened. Matter put over
to December 3, 1974.
Mr. Blackstock said that this Board was not going to be able
to do anything regarding this sale. The Cnunty has recorded the deed.
The only way the deed could be reversed would be to go to Court and secure
a court order. As far as the Boards ability to take action, the answer is
"No."
Chairman Madigan brought up the matter of the sales that were
held by the Butte County Mosquito Abatement District. He feels that the
notices of the sale should have contained all the terms and conditions,
such as the buyer would have to have cash or certified checks. County
Counsel will look into the matter.
