The City Council has 60 days from the time of the va- cancytoeitherappointsome- one to the seat or call a spe- cial election, according to city staff. A vote to appoint a potential candidate or call a special election must be made before Dec. 26. Councilmemberswillcon- sidersettingatimelinetoac- cept applications for the po- sition through Nov. 24, and then vote Dec. 2 or Dec. 16 to appoint a person or set a spe- cial election. The Tehama County Elec- tions Department estimates that a special election would cost $10,000, according to city staff. Eliggi was appointed to the City Council after former councilmemberRobertShep- pard Jr. resigned about seven months into his elected term thatbeganinDecember2012. Sheppard cited personal rea- sons for his departure. Computerupgrades The City Council will take on a recommendation to up- grade 20 city computers that are still running the Micro- soft Windows XP operating system, which city staff says poses security threats to the city. Microsoft stopped provid- ing free security updates for the13-year-oldoperatingsys- tem in April. "This leaves these com- puters and our servers vul- nerable to security threats," according to city staff. "Fur- thermore, our IT support companywillnolongercover working on these computers in their contract." Eight police computers, five Fire Department com- puters, two Community and Senior Center comput- ers, two Street Department computers, a Finance De- partment computer, a main- tenance computer and the deputy city clerk's computer are targeted for upgrades at a cost of about $21,500, ac- cording to city staff. "City staff is aware of the shrinking general fund bal- ance," it said. "However the threat that these computers pose to our city is not an ex- pensethatshouldbeignored." Salestaxandbudget updates Finance Director Sandy Ryan is scheduled to provide city sales tax and budget up- dates to council members. Red Bluff sales receipts from April through June, ac- cording to city staff, are up 2.9 percent compared to the same quarter last year. In- creased auto and transporta- tion sales are credited as the main reason for the uptick. HdL Companies, which monitors and projects sales tax revenues for the city, up- dated its 2014-2015 sales tax estimate for the city to $3,015,000, according to city staff. The estimate would be a 1.5 percent increase over 2013-2014, but is about $66,000 lower than its pre- vious estimate. Ryan also will present an estimated general fund balance of $803,000 at the end of the city's fiscal year in June 2015, according to a staffdocument.Theestimate is about $213,000 lower than the Finance Department's previous estimate provided in August in part because of increased Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Com- merce funding, 4.5 percent raises for city managers, po- lice vehicle repairs, fire uni- form allowance and esti- mated sales tax revenue, ac- cording to city staff. The City Council is sched- uled to meet at 7 p.m. Tues- day at 555 Washington St. Council FROM PAGE 1 INSTAGRAM—THEASSOCIATEDPRESSFILE An overlook of Crater Lake in Oregon with a rock painting is shown. By Lindsay Whitehurst TheAssociatedPress SALT LAKE CITY A se- ries of graffiti-like paint- ings on rocks in National Parks across the West set off a furor on social me- dia this month, anger- ing people who say they desecrated some of the nation's most famously picturesque landscapes. They've also created a headache for park man- agers who have the deli- cate task of cleaning up the sites without causing further damage. It won't be easy to get rid of the paintings, pho- tos of which were posted on Instagram and Tum- blr and then picked up by hiking blogs. Sand- blasting and some chem- ical strippers can cause even more damage to ir- replaceable natural fea- tures, especially if graffiti is near ancient rock art. In some cases, workers use plastic kitchen spat- ulas to painstakingly scrape off paint. Work- ers test different chemi- cals to figure out which will loosen the material without damaging rock, then rinse it off with lots of low-pressure hot wa- ter, gently scraping each layer away with the spat- ula, said National Parks spokesman Jason Olson. "They will repeat that as often as it takes until they remove all the paint or until they can't re- move any more," he said. He said Friday he didn't know how much it might cost to remove the paint in eight parks across Cal- ifornia, Colorado, Utah and Oregon. One colorful painting of a woman with blue hair at Crater Lake National Park is already covered in ice and snow and workers might not be able to reach it until next summer. Casey Nocket, the 21-year-old suspect iden- tified by the park service this week, allegedly used acrylic paint and signed with the handle "creepy- tings." Attempts to reach Nocket were unsuccess- ful. A phone listing for her was disconnected and her social media accounts have been shut down or made private. The National Park Ser- vice said this week they've found paintings in Yo- semite, Death Valley and Joshua Tree in Califor- nia; Crater Lake in Ore- gon; Zion National Park and Canyonlands in Utah; and Rocky Mountain in Colorado, where Colorado National Monument was also tagged. Zion National Park is home to red-rock bluffs, sweeping canyons— and now a backpack-sized drawing of a woman smoking on a rock near a trail named for emerald- colored pools of water.
