CITY Continued from page 1A cle leases and expanded Internet service the 201314 projected end balance is $403,174. City expenditures were estimated to exceed revenue by $250,983 before Tuesday's actions. "We can't keep being in a situation where we're spending more money than we're taking in," Crabtree said. Crabtree recommended the council only approve a $6,500 appropriation to fund the reserve firefighter academy. Reserve firefighters fill the fourth spot on the 4man shifts, but the department's reserve list is dwindling. The city has also instilled a 1,000-hour cap on hours worked by reserves, to avoid having to pay pension benefits. The City Council unanimously approved funding the fire academy. Even still, Bennett said the department would not likely see an affect from more reserves until a year from now. Bennett said federal safety requirements required firefighters to wait until two personnel had been established at the scene of a fire and two more established before backup before entering a fire. He said the depleted shifts was forcing the city to rely on help from outside agencies before they could legally go into buildings in some situations. Bennett also spoke about the increasing occurrences of simultaneous calls and the instances where a second call as being handled by only one firefighter or in some instances of 2-man shifts having to rely entirely on outside assistance. The department's daily run volume has increased 54 percent since 2001 to 3,469 calls being handled in 2012. Bennett said there were three main reasons the overtime budget was being strained. First the overtime budget had been reduced about 30 percent since the economic downturn in 2008. Second, while employees received wage increases in their most Coach guilty of sex with student MANTON Continued from page 1A A volunteer coach at West Valley High School was found guilty of two felony charges of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor under the age of 16 and seven additional felony charges involving other sexual acts with a minor under the age of 18.

By about 3 p.m. the Mantonbased orchard, which was selling such apple varieties as Empire, Red Delicious, Jonagold and Granny Smith, was nearing a sell-out. "It was a huge turnout," Collier said.

Lastly was the city's switch to a use-it or lose-it vacation system. That system was put into place to stop what at times were multi-thousand dollar cashouts by employees leaving the city. Bennett said the overtime issue was the reason this is the first year the department has not provided a firefighter on site at Red Bluff High School football games. His total request was for a supplemental budget appropriation of $50,500. Bennett compared his situation to the police department, which recently requested and won approval from the council for the lease of new police vehicles. Bennett said he the fire engines with seats available, but he just needed people to fill them. Representing the employees Fire Captain Dom Catona spoke to the council. Catona said the firefighters were not in this to make overtime, but simply about 800 boxes of apples." Each box carried about 20 pounds of apples. Business was so good, Burnett was guiding those looking for more Granny Smith apples, the "superduper, everyone loves them pie apples," up the road to the orchard. The apple festival committee estimated to bring in between $15,000 and $17,000 on the day, committee member Corey Livingston said. The proceeds will go toward higher education scholar- wanted 4-man shifts for their own safety and that of the city. "Do we want to do something or just wait till we're forced to do something," Councilman Ray Elligi asked aloud. Councilman Clay Parker made a motion for a supplemental appropriation of $20,000 of the requested amount, he said to help the department get through the year. The motion passed 3-1, with Councilman Rob Schmid dissenting. Schmid joined back with the rest of the council in approving the formation of an ad hoc committee to study the provision of fire services in the city of Red Bluff. Among the issues the committee will examine is possibility of raising the 1,000-hour cap on reserves. Schmid said he needed more information regarding the repercussions of not having 4-person staffing levels.

USDA issues health alert for some Calif. chicken Brown vetoes bill to allow non-citizens on juries SACRAMENTO (AP) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture is issuing a public health alert for raw chicken packaged at three Foster Farms facilities in California after 278 people have fallen ill. The USDA says that strains of Salmonella Heidelberg are associated with chicken distributed to retail outlets in California, Oregon and Washington state. The Salmonella outbreak has spread to 18 states, though most of the illnesses have been reported in California. A spokesman for Foster Farms says no recall is in effect and that the infections were caused by eating undercooked or improperly handled chicken. The USDA has not directly linked the outbreak of illnesses to a specific product or production period. The USDA mark on suspect packages would read: P6137, P6137A and P7632. Cooking chicken to 165-degrees kills the Salmonella bacteria. SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown has vetoed a bill that would have allowed non-citizens who are legal residents to serve as jurors in California. Brown's office announced the veto of AB1401 on Monday. The Democratic governor says in a veto statement that he does not think it is right to expand jury service to non-citizens. The bill by Democratic Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski of Fremont was intended to expand the pool of prospective jurors. Wieckowski said in a statement that lawful immigrants are part of the fabric of communities and should be included in such civic obligations. The bill passed the Legislature on a largely partyline vote, with Democrats supporting it. But Brown says serving on a jury is a ''responsibility of citizenship.''
