This would not be advantageous to the county but would be for CHIP. By going with outstationing CHIP would have administrative molly bu cerui menttandr program. CHIP would have to do their own pay , y 4 P supplies and request reimbursement from the county just as with the old PSE program. This is not uncommon. They are asking for an advance of cash. This would provide for administrative money. Under a subcontract CHIP would be responsible to be able to prove ability to pay back money. Page 400. December 4, 1979 December 4, 1979 79- ~" If this is done, this will create administrative capability and they do not have administrative capability without CETA funds. This would be opening the door for all CETA users including the county. Mr. Rackerby stated that if there were a default of any kind and the non-profit organization does not have the ability for pay back the county would have to take the money out of the general fund for the pay back. Jim Johansen, auditor, stated that his concern was the fact that the county could be left holding the bag. Fran Wagstaff, CHIP, felt she was in the same position as the county when the state mandated the odd-even gasoline plan. The comment had been made by the county that if the state required implementation then they should pay for it.• They axe in the position of having CETA and must have liability and carry an insurance policy. They are expected to pay for this insurance. They service low income people. The only way they receive money is through grants, either public or private. If she were required to cover the cost on behalf of the CETA participants, she would have to go to the federal government or the city of Chico for a grant. She did not feel this was reasonable. The advantage is not to the county but to the participant. Butte County has the lowest wage scale in the whole country. Ms. Wagstaff stated that at the present time, there are employees who receive benefits and those that do not receive benefits. Right now the CETA participants have zero benefits, such as social security, insurance and holiday pay. There is little incentive for people to work. CHIP has been in business for seven years. They have had no problems with their audits. They are accountable for the way they spend their money. She is personally covered with name bond insurance. Over 80% of the people with CHIP have left with jobs. She felt the percentage could be even higher. They have provided: housing rehabilitation in the city and the county. •.Ms. Wagstaff stated that the CETA regulations and legislation says they will be reimbursed unless three conditions are present. They do not meet any of the conditions. They are to operate on a contract basis. They are looking at adding to the burden of training participants. This would not allow enough money to be able to coordinate the project. The only way they could meet expenses would be for the money to come out of CETA .administrative costs. She was willing to negotiate a reasonable contract. They have the capability and ability to understand what is involved. Chairman Lemke felt the analogy was lopsided between the county and the state. In the event there is non-compliance the county stands to pick up the entire tab. There have been cases where counties have been put in that position of refunding CETA money. ', Mr. Rackerby stated there were two instances of payback by 'counties. The prime sponsor is responsible. This would make the general (fund responsible if there is a default. They are not specifying that a (bond must be obtained if there are assets that can be used in case of a default. This is not a county activity. This is a project that CHIP has asked the county for jobs. There is nothing that says that CHIP must use CETA personnel. CHIP has done a good training job. Even though CHIP has the capability, they do not have financing to operate their capability and therefore they do not have capability. The regulations state that any PSE ,agreements that are reached with the agency they are expected to have (reimbursement with the exception of the federal government. The rules say that if an agency does not have administrative capability they do not Page 401. December 4, 1979 December 4, 1979 79- have the qualifications that CETA would like to have for personnel. You 3' can then go outreach. There is about 80% of PSE on outreach. The policy . has said no administrative money. if the Board changes the policy, they will work with the policy. Ms. Wagstaff stated that without CETA administration they do not have money to administer grants. She wondered if the county had the administrative ability. She made inquiry to the Department of Labox. She received a response from Josephina Smith who said it was reasonable to assume that the agency that has operated would have administrative capability. The county is responsible for the funds. She felt this ', policy was discriminating against non-profit organizations. The amount of money involved has not been discussed. Mr. Rackerby stated that under CETA-only 15% is allowed for administrative costs. If CHIP was doing a $100,000 business, then the amount would be $15,000. CHIP would not get that full amount because CETA still has some things to do. On the outside this would probably only be 8% or 9% of the amount. The issue is policy direction. If the Board changes the policy, every agency is going to be asking for an additional 8% or 9%. They will then expend monies to serve more people. Any organization has to make a commitment and that commitment is in the form of administration. It was moved by Supervisor Winston, seconded by Supervisor Wheeler that the CETA administrative policy remain status quo. Supervisor Dolan felt there would be additional staff required and there is not enough flexibility and felt it could be more flexible. She felt that what CHIP had proposed was reasonable. CHIP has good training and a good track record. This is the kind of project that provides people with skills. She felt to continue would hinder the project. Supervisor Winston stated that CHIP is a non-profit organization. They came to CETA and asked for the project. There has to be a commitment by the group to show some responsibility for use of the crews. If the Board were to approve alternative 4~2, he could see a disadvantage of using more money for supervising positions. There would be less money for training. This would be setting a precedent. There has been a strong recommendation from Personnel, Auditor and Administration regarding this policy. Supervisor Moseley did not feel that this was a reflection on the work done by CHIP. The Board cannot set a precedent. Vote on motion: AYES: Supervisors Moseley, Wheeler, Winston and Chairman Lemke NOES: Supervisor Dolan Motion carried. 195 APPROVE BUDGET TRANSFERS On motion of Supervisor Moseley, seconded by Supervisor Wheeler and unanimously carried, the following budget transfers were approved: 8-37 - Purchasing.

RECONSIDER ACTION TAKEN NOVEMBER 27, 1979, MINUTE ORDER 79-1920: APPROVE SUBMISSION OF ENERGY CONSERVATION EDUCATION PROPOSAL TO STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION - COMMUNITY ACTION AGENCY Discussion of the energy conservation education proposal for submission to the State Department of Education was held at this time. 1955 Supervisor Dolan stated that the Board had taken action on this item last week. PG&E sent a letter of endorsement for the grant proposal. It was her understanding that they want to work with the grant. This is a bigger issue than one agency. The source of funding for this grant comesfron: the purchase of special license plates. These funds go for energy conservation education. People are not forced to pay for these funds. The school districts want to cooperate and get this project off the ground. Mr. Henrique, PG&E, stated that he was not aware of the letter of endorsement. He is from the Oroville office and not the Chico office. He reported to work in Oroville yesterday to work on energy conservation. There is a mobile van available to visit the schools. There is a proposal before the PUC tc fund a smaller variation of that van that would have educational material carried to the elementary school program. There is a pilot program being done in another county. Study is being done from K-12 grades- to bring this program into the schools. This material is made available to teachers. The teachers can pick from three different programs. The approach in the schools is a team approach. They set up managment staffs within the school and involve the students, administrative staff and the custodian. His assignment in Oroville is to relieve some of the pressures that have been put on some of the people in this area. The van will be available for the entire service territory. There would be no charge for the van. Supervisor Dolan did not feel that the grant was an overlapping ar duplication effort. She did not believe there has been a demonstration enough has been done or they would be saving all kinds of energy. She still saw this grant as a complimentary venture. She felt submissbn of the grant was appropriate. Supervisor Winston stated that people are crying to government to stop spending money. He felt this was a duplication, He understood that any school in the areas in California that wanted to conduct an energy conservation class could call on PG&E and would be furnished with goals outlines. They could ask that a representative be sent up for a seminar. There is no question that energy conservation is important. He did not feel that $3$,000 would get people with an expertise fox energy conservation. James McNaughton, executive director, CAA, stated that he did ve a letter o£ support from PG&E in Chico. The letter supports ucational activity and states that a van will be available in late ring. He did not see the grant as a duplication.

Mrs. Downing asked that they be given their lives due to the dangerous street. Hearing closed to the public and confined to the Board. Page 406. December 4, 1979 _. ~_ 79- ~'. December 4, 1979 Clay Castleberry, public works director, spoke regarding the construction of the frontage road parallel to the east side of the freeway. He had indicated in the past there could be a congestion problem if the road was constructed parallel to the freeway at East Avenue. This would require signals placed on the road and the approach ramps. There would be extensive signalizing needed to hold the congestion down some. The benefits would be better than what is there now. This would relieve the traffic on E1 Paso Way. It would be expensive. The other means would be freeway approach ramps and the state has indicated they will not do that. If they had the money, the road could be constructed in two years. If the Board directed them to proceed with the preliminary design work his office would be happy to do so. Ibis not on their list. He felt the offramps would be better solution to the problems that a frontage road. Supervisor Winston stated that the Board heard more about the reckless driving than the volume of traffic. Supervisor Wheeler stated the problem is created by the volume of traffic and the speeding on the road. She did not feel the traffic was going to decrease. hfr. Castleberry estimated the cost of the frontage road would probably be $600,000 including traffic signals. He did not have an estimate for preliminary design work. It was moved by Supervisor Wheeler; :seconded by Supervisor Dolan that the Board accept the recommendations of the committee with modifications as follows: Esplanade. 1. Proceed with installation of signal lights, at Lassen and 2. Proceed with installation of left turn signals at East and Esplanade. 3. Public Works to be directed to proceed with application for signalizing in that area and continue to study with Galtrans the possible implementation of on and off ramps nn Lassen Avenue. 4. Public Works be directed to proceed with the engineering work on the frontage road project. 5. Crosswalks and stop signs be placed at the intersections of E1 Verano and E1 Paso, E1 Paso and E1 Beno and White Avenue at E1 Verano and E1 Paso. 6. Prohibit parking on the street along Lassen Avenue to be allowed at the discretion of the Public Works Director. 7. Public Works Director to compile figures on the construction of the frontage road with the decision of financing to be left to the Board. Dsc~ission of the motion held at this time. Supervisor Winston stated that he could not support the motion because the Board does not know what the cost of the preliminary design would cost. The motion directs the Public Works director to proceed with the plans. Supervisor Wheeler stated that she was not asking Public Works to do this project by tomorrow. She wanted the matter on the record. Page 407. December 4, 1979 December ~+, 1979 79- Supervisor Winston stated that his difficulty with the motion 3 was that the Board was directing Public Works to proceed with preliminary design work.

Clay Castleberry, public works director, set out the background of the appeal. It is not practical or feasible for a development of this size to provide the drainage necessary to pipe it across to Little Chico Creek. The Board should either waive the requirement or deny the appeal, making it almost impossible for a person to divide their property. This property is not in the area of a master plan and the county cannot require drainage deposits. Supervisor Wheeler stated that in talking with Ms. Kemp she indicated there is a note on the map that indicates she is willing to have the parcels in a drainage district. Hearing open to the public.

POLICY: SNOWPLOWING - PUBLIC WORKS Chairman Lemke reported on the smowplowing committee recommendations. The committee recommended that the plowing of Humboldt Road from Butte Meadows four corners easterly two miles be continued and that Skyway to Inskip be plowed on Saturdays and Sundays. This would be subjectto Page 409. December 4, 1979 December 4, 1979 79- d, availability of road maintenance funds. Public Works is to monitor those particular two recommendations and advise the Board if there are any funding or cost problems as winter arises. The committee recommends Public Works investigate contracting for extended plowing. Proposals be presented to the Board for a county service area to pay for the cost of the extended unfunded services to be worked up in the future. Supervisor Winston stated that he had a problem with the recommendations. The county is trying to conserve resources and the recommendation is to extend the snowplowing in Butte Meadows an additional two miles. This is an additional service over the past. It is not holding the status quo it is extending a service. He felt this would be fiscally irresponsible. Chairman Lemke stated that the recommendation has included in t that should the snowplowing cost extend over the existing average cost r amount of money that the item be brought back to the Board. Supervisor Wheeler felt it was important that the Board direct Works to conduct a feasibility study into the possibilit~ryof forming is and also having private contracting of snow removal. Clay Castleberry, public works director, stated that there some $15,000 in the budget in anticipated revenue for snowplowing. t year they spent $62,000 for snowplowing. The budget is so many lars for so much maintenance including snowplowing. The revenue icipated is $15,000. An average over the last ten years is about ,000. Chairman Lemke stated that the service was being extended because .ere are more people living in the area than in the past. He recommended e money be used for snowpbwing to service those people and if there is heavy snow year, the matter can be brought back to the Board. Mr. Castleberry stated that they would be paying overtime for work on Saturday and Sunday for the snowplowing for Inskip.

':1971 REPORT ON MEETING WITH AMBULANCE OPERATORS Supervisor Dolan reported on the recent meeting with the ambulance operators that was held. There will be negotiations on a new contract and the elimination of the county paying for bad debts. This will be a savings of $6,000 to $7,000. There may be some other minor revisions. This will take a couple of months to firm up. Clif Nickelson, administrative officer, stated that the report was premature. The Board had directed that the matter be discussed at this time. The general agreement with the contractors was that they would no longer bill the county for bad debts. There will he some adjustments of ambulances running on calls. The state may pick up the Section 5150 calls made by the ambulance companies. This would remove a considerable burden from the county. 1972 PUBLIC HEARING: NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ABANDON THE DURHAM CEMETERY AND DEDICATE IT AS A PIONEER MEMORIAL PARK The public hearing on the notice of intention to abandon the Durham Cemetery and dedicate it as a Pioneer Memorial Park was held as continued. Chairman Lemke stated that the Board had received a letter from Mark Tristan, 7r., Parrott Ranch Company. Dan Blackstock, county counsel, stated that he had sent the ', Board a letter earlier and reported on the meeting held with Supervisor Dolan and the people in the community including the Hayes. He has been advised that the Hayes will not accept the proposal that was agreed to. If the Board determines they wish to dedicate this as a Pioneer Memorial Park, they may do so by adopting resolution that would be recorded and his office would file a quiet title action. It is a policy decision as to how the Board wants to go on the situation. Basically, the county would be responsible for the cemetery if it was designated a Pioneer Memorial Park. Supervisor Dolan stated there had been man discussions on this matter. The issues axe shall the cemetery by public property and how much of the cemetery will be public property. The letters from Parrott Ranch Company outline the belief that when they gave the property to the burial society the whole thing was to be for a cemetery. Supervisor Dolan stated that during the meetings held they tried to reach a common ground. One common ground is that the access in the public interest where the gravel is should be public. Part and parcel of that is if the public has to have road access to the well. When the burial society dissolved there was a trust fund and money providing for burials and for the return of money to anyone who came forward, and wanted their money back. She understood the agreement was not totally acceptable. Page 411. December 4, 1979 79- December 4, 1979 Hearing open to the public. Appearing: 1. Howard L. Sondroy. Mr. Sondroy stated that he had something to do with the Christian Burial Society. He was the executor of an estate for a person who was buried in the cemetery. He went to the society in February 1973 when the gentleman died. He was advised at that time there was no record of payment of dues. Mr. Sondroy stated that he had driven the gentleman to the society to make the payments while he was still alive. There was a ledger of people who belonged to the society and they had a receipt book. The receipt book had been destroyed. Mr. Sondroy stated he had to pay $150 to have the .gentleman buried in the cemetery. This was paid out of his own pocket. He felt it was the county's duty to do the right thing. He felt the whole thing had been a ripoff. He felt the District Attorney should look into the matter. 2. Charles Curtis Hayes. Mr. Hayes stated that everything described by Mr. Sondroy happened before they bought the cemetery. He could not speak to those issues. Since the original receipt of the resolution of intention to abandon the cemetery, which is four months ago, he has endeavored to reach a compromise. He has been willing to work with the Board and staff and has been attending all the public meetings on the matter. He is willing to give the old cemetery portion of the property without any charge to any organization that:..will care for it and maintain it. They are still willing to do this. This organization must have the capability to adequately administer and maintain to what they feel is an acceptable level. The county has neither the money nor the time to do this. In private discussions with the residents of Durham, they have discerned a lack of concensus as to what should be done with the cemetery. Some feel splitting the cemetery is not acceptable. Others feel the Hayes are doing a good job. Some feel that they have no right to any portion of that property and would like to have it taken away. This makes it difficult to arrive at a settlement. Mr. Hayes offered their proposal at this time. This is proposed as an interim solution. They are willing to dedicate the used portion of the cemetery .as a historical park or memorial cemetery. This would follow the lines of a historical monument which can be privately owned and the public would be allowed access. They are willing to dedicate the property to show good faith and show access to the property. This would be put in writing. They would want assurances during the interim that an organization would be able to continue to. maintain and administer the trust fund. He dad not think this was a job the county wanted. In the event the people of Durham come together with a viable organization like a cemetery district that will give continuity, they would give the piece of property free and clear. They have a right to ask for proper maintenance. By being given to a cemetery district, the county and taxpayers are not liable for administration or maintenance. The people of Durham would get what they want. They would get what they wanted. They would be willing at some point in time as the organization is able to turn over such money as necessary. He asked that the Board table the abandonment at this time. It will take some time to get these things done that have been presented. He would like at least six months. Mr. Hayes stated that during the interim period he would be willing to continue to sit dawn and work with the people to make it easier for them to .assume ownership of the property. A11 monies and titles would be transferred. Mzr: Blackstock stated that originally Parrott Ranch Company gave three plus acres to the burial society. The burial society sold the west 150 feet to an individual and the remaining property is about two plus acres. Page 412. ' December 4, 1979 79- _ _ - - - _ _ - _ - - - _ -ecember 4, 1979 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - Mr. Hayes spoke regarding the telegram that had been received by Parrott Ranch Company. They are not asking for the company to condone this proposal. He asked if they have a legal interest in the property. If the counsel for the company had a goad case against them he could step forward. They do have title insurance on the property. Mr. Hayes stated that a cemetery district or a like viable organization would be acceptable to them. He was just talking about dedication of the used portion of the cemetery. The trust fund transfer is something that could be negotiated between them and the parties who wanted to take, over the cemetery. They will guarantee public access to the cemetery. When someone comes forward, they can negotiate the road and the well. Mr. Hayes stated that dedicating the old cemetery as a historical site would be a very low key item. They would place a glaque saying the cemetery was established a certain date and is a place of historical interest. Supervisor Dolan felt that if the people of Durham knew that they owned the cemetery and had responsibility far the trust fund and an easement for the road and well there would be a group step forward. Supervisor Winston stated that it would be possible for the Hayes to deed the old cemetery to a third party, such as a title company, until such time as an organization comes forward. When the organization had demonstrated the ability to maintain the cemetery, the Hayes could authorize the cemetery to be deeded to them. This would be under a holding agreement and Mr. Hayes would be able to maintain the cemetery.,, until the transfer took place. This would be for the entire piece of property. Mr. Hayes stated that he would have to say No. It would be all right for the used portion of the land. The used portion of the property is roughly one-half of it. Supervisor Dolan stated that people are saying the entire property is a cemetery. Another part is saying they would be willing to go along with the used property as long as the well water can be used for the cemetery and there is public access and the trust fund is given to the cemetery. - Mr. Hayes stated that they would be willing to grant use of the well as long as they were able to drill another well if needed on the cemetery property. He guaranteed there would be water. Mr. Blackstock stated that a cemetery district is supported by ad valorm taxation. Adding another ad valorra taxing entity would take away from the $4 tax rate for the other entities. He has been advised there is approximately $10,000 in the trust fund. At the present time, this would give an organization about $1,100 per year to work with. He did not think there had been major expenditures of county funds in the Forbestown Cemetery. Mr. Hayes stated that members have a right to draw on the trust fund and there are people that must be buried in the cemetery. Mr. Sondroy stated that he understood that when the property was sold, the Hayes paid for the property where the home and office were. Mr. Hayes stated that they purchased the entire property of the Chico Burial Society. They have a clear title. Page 413. December 4, 1979 79- Decem_be_r _4, 1979 _ _ _ _ _ _ J _ 3. Jan Holman. Ms. Holman stated that Mr. Hayes had said there was no viable organization to take over the property. She felt the county was a viable organization. They had discussed setting aside the $10,000 in the trust under the care of the county and possibly the park and recreation district would help. If they had $1,000 per year they-could maintain the cemetery. She felt the community could raise money through dinners and fund raisers. This could be added to the trust fund. She was sure the Durham Park and Recreation District would take the cemetery over. If there was title insurance the Hayes could be repaid for the money spent on the property. Mr. Hayes has said that he takes care of the property with their own expenses. She questioned the amount of money that was paid for all of the property. and the expenses. The trust fund was for refund to the people who requested it. The .Hayes are using the purchase price in the trust fund to take care of their own property. There are three trustees for the trust fund. One of them is Curtis Hayes. This seems to be a conflict of interest. There is a seven year trust. 'What happens is the money reverts back to them. She would like to see how much money has been paid out and to whom. If they are allowed to keep the trust and be in charge of it, how much will be left. Mr. Hayes had advised that he would have a copy of the trust fund submitted to County Counsel. He did not do that. Ms. Holman stated that Mr. Hayes had told them that David Buck had led.them ttirnugh this sale. She contacted Mr. Buck and he refuted this statement. The Board he was on did not have any say over the burial society. Some of the older members of the society stated that it had gone defunct. Some college students took over the house on 6th and Locust in Chico. This property was declared abandoned and sold for back taxes. The college students were going to buy the property. A gentleman went to either the District Attorney, Consumer Fraud Unit and the Board of Supervisors. and asked what could be done. They did not know the cemetery property went with. the house on 6th and Locust. Ms. Holman felt that the legal bodies in the county should take a look into this. She would like the county to declare this a Pioneer Memorial Park for the entire property. She knew there were organizations in Durham that have expressed an interest in going into the cemetery and cleaning it up. She felt that it could lie maintained by someone going in there once or twice a year. She would like to leave the road like it is. She felt that $1,000 would keep the cemetery going. Ms. Holman did not feel there were any more people out there that had an interest in the cemetery. RECESS: 12:30 p.m. RECONVENE: 1:35 p.m. Chairman Lemke stated that there were some serious allegations made over the legal mater that should not have entered into the notice of intention to abandon the Durham Cemetery. The allegations were referred to the District Attorney for clarification. Chairman Lemke stated that the hearing would be continued and he wanted all the legal ramifications discussed. He wanted it settled so the Board could continue with the notice of intention to abandon. 4. Louis Camenzind, Jx. Mr. Camenzind left recorded documents with County Counsel. The recorder's document numbers are 19971 and 29300. Page 414. December ~+, 1979 79- •_-______~_-December4,, 1979___=___ _____~__ Supervisor Dolan questioned the procedure. The Chairman asked who else wanted to speak before the Board recessed for lunch. Now the Chairman is saying these people cannot speak today. Chairman Lemke stated there was no sense in going any further because the Board is not able to make a decision on the matter. There are too many legal questions that were raised this morning for the Board to make a decision on it. He did not want to hear testimony over who has the right to own the cemetery. The Board needs to get that issue out of the way and then discuss the abandonment. 5. Elizabeth Durham Joseph. Mrs. Joseph stated she would like to leave a copy of the letter her attorney wrote to Mr. Blackstock. Mrs. Joseph was advised that the Board had copies of the letter. Mr. Hayes Sr. asked that they receive copies of the material that had just been presented.
