COURTROUNDUP estimated sales tax revenue at the end of June 2015 by about $66,000 in part be- cause of lower fuel prices. Additionally, the City Council previously ap- proved management raises that total $23,000 for the year, $35,000 in in- creased chamber funding, repairs for a police vehicle in the amount of $1,200 and a fire uniform allow- ance of about $1,800 con- tributed to the decreased estimate. Ryan also noted that the city's estimated gen- eral fund balance for the 2013-2014 year decreased from about $979,000 to $893,000 because of a late utility bill, lower than es- timated sales tax revenue and other accounting up- dates. The city estimates gen- eral fund revenues to total about $6.8 million for the 2014-2015 year. Computer upgrades The City Council on Tuesday approved about $23,800 in computer up- grades. About 20 city comput- ers are still running on the Microsoft Windows XP operating system, which Ryan said poses security threats to the city. Microsoft ceased sup- port for the 13-year-old operating system in April, leaving the computers vulnerable to viruses and other malicious software. The money will go to- ward purchasing new com- puters and installation. Fund FROM PAGE 1 ing police and fire person- nel, would have remote control access to open the gates. A separate plan to provide an alleyway adja- cent to the railroad track for emergency vehicles also will be considered. "Speaking for myself," Jackson said, "we need to do a different building site then and not close my city street." The project would in- clude 64 beds, kitchen and laundry facilities, coun- seling and training facil- ities and off- and on-site parking. Goodwin said the facil- ity, which could begin con- struction in September 2016 and end by February 2018, would extend the life of the existing downtown jail by 30 years. County officials say they are still working to secure state funds for the $20 mil- lion project. "I don't personally have the fire that the mayor has about closing that street," council member Wayne Brown said, "but I have a sense that when our citi- zens find out we're going to close that street they're" not going to be happy. Brown said clarity on the project and how it will work "might soften the blow if that's where that ends up going." The county Planning De- partment is accepting com- ments on the project's en- vironmental document through Nov. 22. It can be viewed here: http://goo. gl/6v0rYo. "For this to work for the county and city," council member Clay Parker said, "Madison has to be closed." Parker said the project could benefit the Police Department by provid- ing more storage space at the proposed facility, and also cited security reasons for closing a stretch of the street. The City Council will again discuss the proj- ect at its next meeting on Nov. 18. Jail FROM PAGE 1 This week, a new fish screen at the former dam site received final engineer- ing inspection. The project has restored access for anadromous fish to an additional five miles of historic holding, spawn- ing and rearing stream hab- itat. In addition, the proj- ect included improvements to the site to meet the wa- ter and power needs of the landowner. Construction-related work began in July and con- cluded this week. The dam, on privately owned land 30 miles west of Red Bluff was built in the 1930s to provide water and hydropower to the land- owner's residence. Historic accounts are that Spring Chinook and steelhead trout were seen in this area. In the 1970s, California Department of Fish and Wildlife constructed a fish ladder over the dam, but over the years, the fish lad- der fell into disrepair. According to Project Manager Tricia Parker Hamelberg with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the multi-disciplinary tech- nical team that worked on the project was a talented and dedicated group that shepherded this project from planning to implemen- tation in a timely fashion. "The landowner and his ingenious forefathers had constructed an intelli- gent and unique system to gain water and power re- sources," Hamelberg said. "With the implementation of this project, water and power will still be deliv- ered to the landowner but fish will be able to migrate farther upstream. As fish passage is improved so that adult fish can migrate up- stream, their offspring will soon be migrating unim- peded downstream." Prior to dam demoli- tion, resident fish and other aquatic species near the dam site were relocated. Environmental monitoring, erosion con- trol and planting of ripar- ian vegetation were con- ducted as resource pro- tection measures, and to comply with the terms and conditions of the en- vironmental permits. The public is invited to review the environmental documents at www.fws. gov/redbluff/.

Dam FROM PAGE 1 By Lolita C. Baldor The Associated Press WASHINGTON President Barack Obama authorized a broad expansion on Fri- day of the U.S. military mis- sion in Iraq that will boost the total number of Amer- ican troops there to about 3,100 and spread advisory teams and trainers to the north and west where fight- ing with Islamic State mili- tants has been fierce. The president's decision to escalate the U.S. effort in Iraq comes just three days after a bruising American election and amid persis- tent arguments that more U.S. troops are needed to bolster the struggling Iraqi forces. In particular, there have been calls to send troops to the western Anbar province, where extrem- ists have been slaughtering men, women and children. Obama authorized the Pentagon to send 1,500 troops to Iraq in addition to the 1,600 previously al- lowed. He also is asking Congress for more than $5 billion to fund the fight. Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, said the military will set up several training sites across Iraq to instruct 12 Iraqi brigades, and also es- tablish two operations cen- ters where small advisory teams can work with Iraqi forces at the headquarters and brigade levels. A senior military official said one of those centers will be in Anbar Province, and that it is likely that the bulk of the additional troops will be in Iraq by the end of the year. The official was not au- thorized to discuss the mat- ter publicly so spoke on con- dition of anonymity. Kirby said the new changes were based on a re- quest from the Iraqi officials, the assessment of military commanders on the prog- ress that Iraq's military has made in the fight and as part of a campaign plan "to de- fend key areas and go on the offensive against the Islamic StateofIraqand theLevant," another name for IS. The U.S. troops will not be in combat roles but will do the training in protected locations around the coun- try. Until now, U.S. troops have largely been confined to Baghdad and Irbil, in- cluding two operations cen- ters in those cities. The funding announce- ment is part of a $5.6 bil- lion request to Congress and came just after Obama met with congressional leaders Friday. That funding would cover the overseas military operations and other mili- tary equipment and require- ments to combat the Islamic State group militants, who have seized control of large swaths of Iraq and Syria. The U.S. has been launch- ing airstrikes on Islamic State group militants and fa- cilities in Iraq and Syria for weeks, as part of an effort to give Iraqi forces the time and space to mount a more effective offensive. Early on, the Islamic State group gained ground across Iraq, as local Iraqi units threw down their weapons and fled or joined the insurgents. Lately, however, with the aid of the U.S. strikes, IS has suffered a number of losses in Iraq, where it is fighting government forces, peshmerga and Shiite mili- tias aided by Iran and the Lebanese Hezbollah group. Last week, Iraqi forces re- captured the town of Jurf al-Sakher. IS also lost Rabia, Mahmoudiyah and Zumar, a string of towns near the Syr- ian border, last month. Be- sieged Iraqi troops have also managed to maintain control of Iraq's largest oil refinery outsidethetownofBeijinorth ofBaghdad,despitenumerous attempts by the Islamic State group to capture it. The $5.6 billion request was expected to be a top item on the agenda of Fri- day's meeting between Obama and congressional leaders. Official details are expected to be delivered to Capitol Hill next week. The funding comes on top of an earlier $58.6 bil- lion request to cover over- seas military operations in the war on terror. It's ex- pected to be addressed in the upcoming lame duck session of Congress. Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., the chairman of the House Armed Ser- vices Committee, said Fri- day that he has "long been concerned that the presi- dent has underfunded our combat operations against terrorists."
