Members of the Board:
As a resident of unincorporated north county, I urge you to support a North County Public
Safety Complex with the next round of American Rescue Plan Act funding. While I realize
there are many needs in the county, this one is dire and the time to act is now.
When I lived in Chico during the late 1970’s, the California Highway Patrol was housed in
what is now the Sheriff’s Substation on E Park Avenue. The CHP left that facility over forty
years ago because it was old, outdated and no longer met their needs. The CHP has since built
and moved into a second upgraded facility, while the Sheriff remains in the inadequate E Park
building.
Our Butte County/Cal Fire station on Fair Street is nothing short of a disgrace. Firefighters
are housed in a single-wide trailer. They have cargo containers and sheds for their equipment
and supplies, and a metal building for their trucks. With the annexation of South Chico, the
station is currently better located to serve the city rather than our unincorporated county
residents. I can’t help but wonder how many times over the citizens have paid for the
structures and property during the time the county has leased it.
We expect exceptional service from our county law enforcement and firefighters. At the very
least, they need and deserve adequate facilities from which to provide that service. Let’s
move forward on this North County Public Safety Complex project now.
