Staffreports Atemporaryrestrainingorder sought against members of the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indi- ans was denied Friday, according to a news release issued by mem- bers of the tribe. The complaint filed in Tehama County Superior Court Thursday by a security manager at Rolling Hills Casino, which is owned by the tribe, sought to ban certain fami- lies from all tribal properties and the reservation, claiming they are a threat to the tribe, according to the release. "This was a legal maneuver, pure and simple," the tribe's vice chairman, David Swearinger, said in the release. "They wanted the court to validate the unlawful ac- tions taken against some of our tribal members, trying to exclude NOMLAKI Restraining order against mem be rs denied By Rich Greene rgreene@redbluffdailynews.com @richgreenenews on Twitter CORNING The Tehama County Board of Supervisors awarded around $2 million in three sepa- rate road improvement projects Tuesday.

The budget still has its share of cuts, thought. In the proposed budget, the yearly funding of the Red Bluff- Tehama County Chamber of Com- merce would be sliced in half, and police and fire department spend- ing would be reduced 2.5 percent. In its report to the full council the city's budget committee, made up of council members Wayne Brown and Rob Schmid, said those tough budget cuts are necessary to achieve a year-end cash balance goal of $500,000. The city's budget committee estimates a general fund balance of $648,062 as it heads into in the next fiscal year, according to a staff document. The proposed budget ends with an estimated general fund balance of $516,801, a de- crease of $131,261. City Finance Director Sandy Ryan has previously said the city needs to maintain a fund balance of around $1.3 million, which would be two months of general fund spend- ing. It is city policy to reserve 15 percent of general fund expen- ditures, which would be $1.2 mil- lion, for uncertainties and contin- gencies. The increase in city costs is at- tributed to pay raises and benefit cost increases required by agree- ments made with the city's union employees that were conditionally tied to any increases the city saw RED BLUFF CityCounciltotacklebudget By Andre Byik abyik@redbluffdailynews.com @andrebyik on Twitter CORNING The May Madness Car Show started its engine Fri- day, when onlookers lined Solano Street to get a look at the classic cars that descend upon downtown here yearly.

Bill Robison of Corning has been attending the show for about three years now, and said he enjoys get- ting a look at the older-style cars. "Now you look at the cars and they all pretty much look the same," Robison said at he sat curbside on Solano Street, adding, "This is pretty big for a small town."
