The project could result in the closure of 25 miles of roads and improving the maintenance of others as an attempt to decrease watershed damages and traffic in the areas closest to Beegum Creek. About 100 roads slotted for decommission would be blocked with dirt barri- ers, while other roads left open would be given increased maintenance.

Assembly Republican Leader Connie Conway, of Tulare, said the minority party in the Legislature does not believe taxes need to be increased in order to provide business tax breaks. ''If the governor actually believes his tax breaks will stimulate the economy and create jobs, then he should move forward without rais- ing taxes on other business- es,'' Conway said in a state- ment.

The backbone of the gov- ernor's plan involves chang- ing how large, out-of-state companies calculate their tax liability. Brown wants them to calculate it solely on the portion of sales they have in California, a method called ''single-sales factor.'' Under a 2009 budget deal constructed at the height of the budget crisis, those com- panies were allowed to pick between two tax formulas and choose the one that allows them to pay the least in taxes. They can choose between a ''double-weight- ed sales formula'' that con- siders the company's sales, property and payroll or they can use the ''single-sales factor'' formula based only on sales in California. LIBRARY Continued from page 1A gratitude. "We're here this morning to count our blessings because we've been granted enough money to take us through June 2012," she said. Supervisor Ron Warner, who oversees the library's jurisdiction, attended the morning meeting. He was applauded for his efforts to con- vince the board to vote in favor of funding the library for at least one more year. As ideas were introduced, Hud- son wrote them down on a flip chart for everyone to see. A joint suggestion was to create large, "splashy" donation jars to place at the libraries and in the com- munity. Some others suggested having a benefit concert, perhaps with a bar- becue or similar event. Corporate grants and sponsor- ships were suggested. At the evening meeting, someone suggested a "Rock-a-thon," in which people would get sponsors for time spent in rocking chairs, Goodwin said. Two people volunteered their ser- vices to give computer lessons.

Hertler and Layson were booked into Tehama County Jail on charges of receiving known stolen property ding headquarters repre- senting the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. The Beegum area is within the county's scope because there are inhold- ings of private property within the area that fall under the General Plan, Williams said. There needs to be a mutually agreeable solu- tion, he said. Garton and Williams reported back to the board of supervisors Tuesday about the Redding meet- ing. More than two-thirds of the project falls inside Tehama County, Garton said. As a result of the meet- ing, the closing date for public input on the Beegum project was extended to Sept. 30, he said. The forestry staff was directed to work with the supervisors.

The county's next step is to draft a comment letter stipulating what parts of the Forest Service plan don't settle well with the supervisors. Williams asked Hen- cratt to help identify roads set for closure that he dis- agrees with, Williams said. Public safety access is the focus, he said. "Decommissioning roads only keeps the hon- est people out," Williams said. Illegal marijuana grow- ers and other criminals still get in and access for rescue vehicles is restrict- ed, he said. Williams is also work- ing with the Recreation Outdoors Coalition. The group, founded by Sylvia Milligan, seeks to keep all roads open for recreational uses. Some of the group's comments regarding eco- nomic factors may be included in the letter, Williams said, but some of the group's views may go considered collaborations and input from other libraries that have been struggling financially to get fresh ideas. Judy Turner, of the Corning Friends of the Library, suggested a partnership between her group and the Los Molinos supporters, as well as with the school districts. "As many connections as could be made would be good," she said. A few people simply wanted to know to whom to make out a check or how to sign up to volunteer. At the end of the day, $600 to $700 in donations were collected and a number of volunteer applica- tions were turned in, Goodwin said. All donations are being funneled through the Tehama County Friends of the Library, which has non-profit legal status that allows it to collect funds. During a special meeting in early August, the club designated an account just for the Los Molinos branch. Checks may be made out to the Tehama County Friends of the Library with a memo that specifies "Los Molinos Branch," and can be dropped off at any of the three coun- ty library branches. Seven new members joined the Friends of the Library. "I was just encouraged by people Search and Rescue mem- bers, were in trouble when they didn't make it home Wednesday morn- ing, said Sgt.

Should the board approve the comments, the draft letter will be submit- ted by the September deadline, Williams said. Afterward, it will be a game of wait-and-see, he said. If the Beegum Creek project continues as the plans suggest, the agency must give the county rea- sons in writing why it dis- regarded its comments, Williams said. "They're supposed to coordinate, by law," he said. Next week, Williams is aiming to put a "coordina- tion resolution" on the board agenda. This is a new area for the county to deal with, Williams said.

Some who joined added a dona- tion alongside the $5 membership dues. The meetings were positive and went well, Goodwin said. "I have high hopes and a lot of optimism for Los Molinos and what they're going to do," he said. The community is going to show just how much it cares about the library through fundraising and increasing use, Goodwin said. About 20 supporters attended the evening meeting. Overall, there was a rich, collab- orative and generous spirit through- out the meetings, Gallagher said. "We're moving forward," she said. Results and ideas from the meet- ings will be brought before the Board of Supervisors Sept. 13, a week before the final budget will face a vote.
