DEATHNOTICES tended Tuesday's City Coun- cil meeting to explain the county project and its en- vironmental document, which was presented to the City Council for comments. Goodwin said while Madison Street would be gated off to through traf- fic, it could be opened when the public needs it, includ- ing for such things as pa- rade stagings and emer- gency vehicles. While the project's en- vironmental study touches on the effects the project would have in the area, it doesn't "really address the spirit or the feeling of downtown Red Bluff," Councilman Rob Schmid said. "Or what we as long- term citizens of Red Bluff would want Red Bluff to be." Schmid said the docu- ment doesn't address what the jail expansion would do to the whole city "not to- day, not tomorrow, but in 20 years, in 30 years." "With that said, I do have issues with the (en- vironmental document) and kind of the project as a whole," he said. City Manager Richard Crabtree noted that the City Council does not have a hand in approving the county's project, but that council members would eventually decide whether to close Madison Street if the jail expansion project goes forward. County officials still haven't secured the full $20 million in state fund- ing needed for the pro- posed jail expansion, but the project could begin construction in 2016. Bill Cornelius, former chief probation officer in Tehama County, told council members that he strongly supports the coun- ty's jail expansion project, and that support from the City Council could raise the project's chances for secur- ing state funding. He added that because of AB 109 and the recent approval of Proposition 47, which lowers some drug possession and other prop- erty crimes to misdemean- ors, additional beds "are absolutely essential if we are to meet our detention needs going forward. He said that he also sup- ports the proposed closure of a stretch of Madison Street for security reasons as jail personnel, attorneys, inmates and others could be passing between the ex- isting jail and proposed fa- cility. "In my opinion, any time you mix people in custody with the general public, you are asking for trouble," he said. The City Council unan- imously directed city staff to provide the council's comments to the Tehama County Board of Supervi- sors. Goodwin said the next step for the project is for the supervisors to con- sider approving the jail ex- pansion's environmental document at their Dec. 2 meeting. Expansion FROM PAGE 1 one witness observed what looked like a blade. Curtis said Robison alleg- edly told police he tried to stab Verry in the arm, but Verry had moved. Verry suffered three stab wounds, Curtis said, refer- ring to an autopsy report. Verry's cause of death was ruled as a loss of blood as a result of his stab wounds. Robison's attorney, Ron- ald McIver, during the pre- liminary hearing, high- lighted a statement given to police by Robison's girl- friend, who said Verry had started a fight with Robison. The defendant remains in custody. Robison FROM PAGE 1 He was instrumen- tal from inception to the August 2009 opening of Shasta College's Tehama Campus. Lucas said the flexibil- ity the campus allows has brought in many adults and particularly women in their 30s and 40s back to school along with giv- ing high school graduates a two-year option closer to home. "It helps everyone achieve that goal," he said. Lucas says not only does the educational experience prepare someone to con- tinue at Chico, Berkeley or Stanford, but the school's two-year program rivals them. "Shasta College is a wonderful place to go to school," he said. Lucas served eight years as a Red Bluff Joint Union High School Dis- trict trustee and 22 years as general legal counsel to the Tehama County De- partment of Education and Tehama County Schools. For more than six years he was an adjunct instruc- tor at Shasta College teach- ing business law, legal as- pects of real estate and wa- ter law. Lucas graduated from Red Bluff Union High School. He served in the U.S. Army and received a de- gree from the University of California, Berkeley and his Juris Doctorate from the Boalt Hall School of Law there. "Lucas' contributions to the entire district are far-reaching and have had great impact on the breadth and quality of ed- ucation in our community," according to a Shasta Col- lege press release. "Shasta College and its many thou- sands of students who have achieved their education goals thank Mr. Lucas for his many years of dedicated service the to the district." Lucas said education boils down to a teacher who wants to pass infor- mation along to a student, and it's that philosophy around which he tried to make decisions. Retiring FROM PAGE 1 By Lisa Leff The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO A pro- posed tuition hike was ten- tatively approved Wednes- day by a committee of the University of California gov- erning board. The committee voted 7-2 to approve the plan recom- mended by UC President Ja- net Napolitano that would raise tuition in each of the next five years. The proposed tuition hikes still must be reviewed by the full Board of Regents on Thursday. Napolitano said the in- creases are needed to pro- tect the quality of educa- tion in the face of insuffi- cient state funding. Tuition rates at the 10 UC schools have been frozen for three years. Under the plan, the aver- age annual cost of a UC ed- ucation for California res- idents would go up $612 to $12,804 next fall and to $15,564 in fall 2019. The descending votes came from Gov. Jerry Brown and the student regent. Before the vote, Brown said he wants a task force to look at ways of restruc- turing the system so more students can be educated in less time. The task force could look at transfer and completion routes for community col- lege students, a ramp-up in online classes, and making each campus more distinct in academic specialties, he said. Napolitano said she is open to new ideas and would like to work with Brown but there isn't time for a new task force. Earlier in the day, student protesters tried to block members of the governing board from the meeting. University police pushed the students back behind barricades after they sur- rounded the regents as they tried to enter the con- ference center at the Uni- versity of California, Mis- sion Bay. The students shouted, "Go home, go home," and "UC, UC, our tuition must be free." Other protesters formed a human chain in the park- ing lot to prevent regents from getting in. Kevin Sabo, who attends UC Berkeley and chairs the UC Student Association board, said student leaders were preparing to lobby the governor and Legislature for additional funding to stave off or reduce a possi- ble increase next year. "We don't want to raise tuition, but we need as trustees, for the welfare of the university now and in the future, to tell the pol- icy makers and the public what is required to keep this university great," Re- gent George Kieffer, a law- yer, said before the meeting. Napolitano and Brown, who opposes the tuition hike, also sit on the board's long-range planning com- mittee. So does student Re- gent Sadia Saifuddin, who is expected to vote against the plan. Other voting members include an alumni represen- tative, two regents named to the board by Brown, and three more who, like Kief- fer, were appointed by for- mer Gov. Arnold Schwar- zenegger and have backed previous tuition increases. Napolitano, a former Arizona governor who served as President Barack Obama's first Homeland Security secretary, "is very much trying to show the re- gents she can stand up to the golden boy of California — Jerry Brown," Sabo said. "It certainly is the clash of the titans, and students are being caught in between these two very larger than life individuals and trying not to get crushed between them," Sabo said. 10 SCHOOLS Tu it io n hi ke t en ta ti ve ly approved in California APPHOTO—ERICRISBERG University of California police push student protesters back behind barricades outside a Board of Regents meeting on tuition increases Wednesday in San Francisco. A committee of the Regents approved Janet Napolitano's proposal to raise tuition by 5percent in each of the next five years unless the system gets more money from Sacramento. ERIC RISBERG — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Gov. Jerry Brown, right, reads from his list of proposals to avoid tuition increases as Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, le , listens during the meeting. "We don't want to raise tuition, but we need as trustees, for the welfare of the university now and in the future, to tell the policy makers and the public what is required to keep this university great." — George Kieffer, lawyer "In my opinion, any time you mix people in custody with the general public, you are asking for trouble." — Bill Cornelius, former chief probation officer fair and would help prevent budget cuts to schools, col- leges and universities. "The governor has made it clear that Proposition 30 was a temporary measure," said H.D. Palmer, the gov- ernor's finance spokesman. The analyst's report also projects a $4.2 billion re- serve for the fiscal year that will start next July. That in- cludes a $2 billion deposit into the state's rainy-day fund, which was modified when voters approved Prop- osition 2 earlier this month. Much of the extra money will go to public education, making the near-term out- look for schools and com- munity colleges especially favorable, the report said. Taylor, however, cau- tioned that the surplus de- pends on lawmakers and the governor proposing no new spending plans. The report is projecting state revenue of $111.4 bil- lion for the 2015-16 fiscal year, a 3.7 percent increase over this year's $107.4 billion general fund budget. In the 2019-20 fiscal year, the first one without all the extra Proposition 30 tax- hike money, the analyst projects California will col- lect $127.4 billion in general fund revenue. Taylor said because the tax increase phases out over a four-year period, it will only reduce annual growth in revenue. Correspondingly, growth in school funding is smaller in future years. "I think it was very smart in the sense that you don't have that cliff effect," Taylor said Wednesday. "It gives time for you to adjust your budget as the revenues fall away."
