CORNING Th re e in ju re d in South Av en ue collision By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter CORNING The City Council re- ceived a presentation Tuesday re- garding the passage of Proposi- tion 64, or the Adult Use of Mar- ijuana Act, in preparation for a joint meeting with Red Bluff and the Tehama County Board of Su- pervisors at 6 p.m. Monday at the supervisors chambers, 727 Oak St. in Red Bluff. The meeting is being held to discuss regulations the two cities and county might enact involv- ing personal cultivation of mari- juana and commercial marijuana activities. The council did not give direc- tion to the staff Tuesday as more information was requested on the topic. At the November Presiden- tial election California voters ap- proved Prop. 64, legalizing the recreational use of marijuana, by 57.1 percent. In Corning, 53.76 percent voted in support of the proposition. In the county, only 48.53 percent voted in support of the proposition. The proposition allows each residence to grow up to six mari- juana plants no matter how many persons older than 21 live there, said Kristina Miller, Corning city manager. Only six living plants may be cultivated at one time. The city can regulate such things as where the plants are grown at a residence and could require growing be behind lock and key to protect children and not within 1,000 feet of a school, if the council chooses. The new laws go against the Corning city ordinance that bans indoor grows inside a primary residence. At a minimum the city's local ordinance must be amended to allow for the new law. If the city bans commercial cul- tivation, personal outdoor cultiva- tion or retail sales of marijuana or marijuana products, it would be ineligible to receive state grants funded through the new state ex- cise taxes, which go into effect Jan. 1, 2018. These funds are esti- mated to provide one to two po- lice officer positions, Miller said. Prop. 64 does not affect the city's authority to impose taxes MARIJUANA CouncilgetsProp64presentation By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF The third an- nual Tehama County Job Fair was hosted Friday at the Te- hama Campus of Shasta Col- lege where about 30 employers were on-hand to speak with those seeking jobs on every- thing from what jobs are avail- able to the resources available to help navigate the job market. The event is a partnership between the Tehama County Employment Advisory Council, Shasta College, the Job Training Center and the Tehama County Employment Services, said Em- ployment Advisory Council Vice Chairwoman Leslie Freeland. "The purpose of the job fair is to put businesses in touch with the resources they need to grow and give businesses and job seekers a one-stop shopping experience," Freeland said. "It's just another service to provide quality employment. Attendees were able to utilize a resume station to create one if they did not have one or up- date an existing one and the Te- hama County Employment Ser- vice was on-hand to help give tips for the job search as well as information helpful for ex- offenders searching for a job, Freeland said. "It's everything from how to dress to the services both at Job Training Center and Express Personnel and what they offer to those looking for employment," Freeland said. That could be classes on how to interview such as those of- fered through the Job Training Center to signing up for tempo- rary jobs that could lead to more through Express Employment Professionals. North Valley Services offered an opportunity to learn about getting a job for those with dis- abilities and the college pro- vided a sign language inter- preter to assist NorCal Services who was on hand to help those who are deaf or hard of hear- ing with looking for work, Free- land said. Vendors included gov- ernment jobs through Tehama County or state agencies such as Cal Fire and CalVet to Depart- ment of Rehabilitation and Red Bluff Parks and Recreation on down to local businesses like Lariat Bowl. Starbucks had a booth where they were also con- ducting on-site interviews. Demetra Jones of the Job Training Center was on-hand to discuss both the jobs and classes available through the Job Train- ing Center, bringing several higher paying jobs for the sec- tion of handouts showing what is currently open. "We have a hard time finding some of the skills needed and the unemployment is low right now so there are a lot of posi- tions that are good wages like the one at Growney's that's $20 an hour and one at Crane that's $18-22.50 an hour.
