In the fourth quarter sales tax reports, from October to December of 2014, a 7.4 percent in- crease in sales is noted compared to the same quarter in 2013. The main increases are in the auto and trans- portation business group, restaurants and hotels business group and business industry group. De- creases are due to reduced sales in the fuel and service stations. For several months the city and the county have discussed dissolving the Joint Powers Au- thority I, under which the landfill is managed. The reconstituted JPA II would be known as the Tehama County Solid Waste Management Agency. According to Kristina Miller, the agency man- ager, this name will better reflect the roles and responsibilities of the agency now and in the future.
