RED BLUFF Mayorto hold monthly meetings for public Mondaymorning meetings to begin April 13 By Rich Greene rgreene@redbluffdailynews.com @richgreenenews on Twitter TEHAMA When someone calls the city of Tehama, the voice on the other end is always City Clerk Carolyn Steffan. If she's not answering the phone at City Hall, Steffan has the calls forwarded to her house or cell phone. But Steffan is more than the voice of a small town of around 420 residents. "Carolyn is the heart beat of the city of Tehama," Mayor R.E. Mitchell said. It's been that way for a long time. On Thursday, Tehama City Council members gathered at the Green Barn Steakhouse in Red Bluff to commemorate and recognize Steffan's 50 years of service as the city clerk. "She's a remarkable lady with one heck of a worth ethic," for- mer Mayor and County Super- visor Ron Warner said. Steffan has lived in Tehama since was 3 years old. Her list of accomplishments is as lengthy as they are impor- tant to the city. She has been responsible for many grants. She spearheaded bringing natural gas to the city, and the distribution of gas lines to all lots in the city. She helped with the raising of 36 houses in the city to conform to FEMA and Army Corps of Engineers flood heights. CITY OF TEHAMA THE WOMAN BEHIND THE CITY COURTESYPHOTO Mayor, R.E.

"I feel if you want a community to be the way you want it to be, you have to be willing to work for it." — Carolyn Steffan, city clerk By Andre Byik abyik@redbluffdailynews.com @andrebyik on Twitter CORNING After Gov. Jerry Brown on April 1 ordered that cities state- wide cut their water use by 25 per- cent, the city of Corning could consider implementing manda- tory water-saving measures. According to a city staff report the City Council is scheduled to hear at its meeting Tuesday, staff say the city should consider im- plementing stage two of its wa- ter conservation program. Stage two calls for mandatory water measures aimed at reducing water use by 25 percent, according to the report. The city already has imple- mented stage one of its water-sav- ing program, which calls for volun- tary conservation measures such as encouraging early morning or evening watering of lawns and re- ducing other household water use. According to the report, the lat- est emergency regulations from the state water board regarding urban water suppliers wouldn't affect the city of Corning. The regulations, which are aimed at achieving a 25 percent reduction in urban water use, ap- ply to suppliers that serve more than 3,000 customers or supply more than 3,000 acre-feet of wa- ter per year. The city of Corning serves fewer than 2,300 customers and distrib- uted about 2,660 acre-feet of water in 2014, according to the report. Despite being exempt from the regulations, the report says that Corning is a part of the "Califor- nia community" and should do its part to conserve water. "Additionally, groundwater is a limited resource, so, it just makes sense to conserve water, particu- larly in drought years," according to the report. Before stage two is imple- mented, however, city staff intend to revise language in its water con- servation ordinance to better ex- plain and clarify water allotment limits to the city's water custom- ers, according to the report.

He's among several leaders of California cities, including Los An- geles, proclaiming commitment to water conservation and vowing to move ahead of the state in slashing water use with initiatives includ- ing awareness programs, incen- tives and beefed-up enforcement with warning letters and fines. Last week, Gov. Jerry Brown signed an executive order man- dating water use reductions as the Sierra snowpack, California's key water source, vanishes.
