Torres said in his 27 years of YOLO COUNTY Man scooped up by garbage truck lives to tell about it By Rich Greene rgreene@redbluffdailynews.com @richgreenenews on Twitter REDBLUFF Neighbors of the pro- posed Tembo Preserve expressed concerns during a public meet- ing Thursday evening, but were generally supportive of the idea of an elephant sanctuary in their backyard. The Tehama County Planning Department held the meeting to gather public input as part of the initial scoping phase of the Envi- ronmental Impact Report review process. The county has hired HDR En- gineering to handle the EIR. The Tembo Preserve is paying the costs of the environmental review. Tim Gnibus, the project man- ager for the EIR, said the county has asked for as robust a review as possible. The initial scoping listed around three dozen different ar- eas that could be impacted by the sanctuary, from aesthetics to greenhouse gas emissions. The public was asked Thursday to give input on areas that might have been missed. All of the impacted areas will then be researched and reviewed to be included in the Draft EIR. Planning Director Sean Moore said he expects that document will take around six to seven months to complete. Following that a final EIR and approval from both the Planning Commission and Board of Su- pervisors would still need to oc- cur before work could be done at the site of the former Diamond Ranch. The proposed site is about 17 miles west of Interstate 5 and north of State Route 36 West, just west of the intersection with Bow- man Road. A handful of neighbors spoke Thursday, with nearly all of them supporting the sanctuary. How- ever they did raise concerns about water, traffic, fire and the aesthet- ics of the proposed fencing.

"The Lincoln Street and Crit- tenden Street Roadway Im- provement Projects are two of the neighborhood street proj- ects that will address some of the most needed improvements to our neighborhood streets," according to city staff. "The repairs will consist of either a complete pavement removal and full section replacement for cer- tain areas or a grind and over- lay repair with a 3-foot asphalt overlay..." The street repairs, according to city staff, would by funded through a city transportation fund, not the city's general fund. Franklin Construction sub- mitted the lowest bid. Communitycenter contract The City Council also will con- sider appointing an additional council member to the city's Community and Senior Center ad hoc committee after the Te- hama County Board of Super- visors established its own com- mittee to review agreements between the city and county re- lating to the community center. The board of supervisors es- tablished its ad hoc committee to work with the city Tuesday after the City Council on Jan. 6 rejected a county request to split the cost of a roughly $47,000 air conditioning unit installed at the community cen- ter last July. The county requested that two City Council members be appointed to serve on the ad hoc committee. An agreement between the county and city that has been in effect since 1995 states it is the county's responsibility to pay for major repairs at the community center, which was constructed by the county on land owned by the city and leased to the county. The city also manages the com- munity center. The committee, which super- visors Bob Williams and Candy Carlson were appointed to, will "review and discuss the current agreements relating to the Se- nior/Community Center, and propose any revisions necessary to make the agreements mutu- ally satisfactory going forward," according to county staff. The City Council is scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday at 555 Washington St. RED BLUFF STREET REPAIRS, COMMUNITY CENTER ON COUNCIL AGENDA TheRedBluffCityCouncilisscheduledTuesdaytodiscussapavingprojectforCrittendenandLincolnstreets.
