ByHeatherHoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com DN_Heather on Twitter REDBLUFF The30thDistrictAg- ricultural Association and the Te- hama District Fair have added a new face to the fair board of di- rectors and the board introduced him at its Tuesday meeting at the fairgrounds. Mark Mulliner, 45, of Corning, has been appointed to the new po- sition and has taken the place of Greg O' Sullivan, who is no longer with the board. "I joined the fair board to help out an already great fair," Mulli- ner said. "With everyone work- ing together, including the com- munity, we can make it an even greater fair." Some goals Mulliner has for the fairgrounds are to get the livestock areas paved. He said the animals that walk through have a surface that isn't the best for them. TEHAMA DISTRICT FAIR Boardadds new director By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF State-managed wild- life areas, including Tehama Wildlife Area near Paynes Creek, are under a new rule that prohib- its all terrain vehicle use. ATVs will still be allowed at Na- tional Forest and other federally- managed areas unless specifically prohibited, said Mitchell Carlson, of the Red Bluff office of the Cal- ifornia Department of Fish and Wildlife. The restrictions only apply to the state-managed wild- life areas. ATVs have never been allowed on state wildlife areas with some very local exceptions, said An- drew Hughan, public information officer of the California Depart- ment of Fish and Wildlife. HUNTING Te ha ma Wildlife Area bars ATV use Lawnotenforcedforpast 12 years, but will be now By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF Supplemental fund- ing in the amount of $60,000 was approved Tuesday for the Public Works Department for the recon- struction of the airport restaurant facilities. Funds were available from the airport account to support this ad- ditional expenditure, said Bruce Henz, Public Works director. "The expenditure account for buildings at the airport will pro- vide a budget authorization of $300,000," Henz said. "This is believed to be prudent and nec- essary in order to provide a con- tingency provision for any unex- pected additional cost issues that may arise as the construction pro- ceeds." If the extra funds for unex- pected issues are not used, the de- partment would decide whether to put that money into the restau- rant's design. Henz said he has been actively working on getting items for the restaurant, such as carpet and kitchen cabinets, at a lower price to keep within the budget. Councilman Suren Patel said certain items should have money spent on them, like the air con- ditioning units that Henz has changed to be more efficient. Henz told Patel using the new air conditioning unit will be a great asset to the restaurant despite the lower cost. The council asked Henz to pro- vide an update as progress contin- ues on the restaurant. The funding was passed unan- imously and the council awarded the construction contract to Tom Mehringer Construction for the completion of the airport restau- rant rehabilitation project. RED BLUFF CouncilOKsairportdinerfunds Restaurant rehabilitation: City will be updated on project progress Groundwater: City must decide whether to join county agency By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter REDBLUFF The Red Bluff Fire Department will soon be ready for action with its new wild- land fire engine provided by the California Office of Emer- gency Services. The 2014 model engine rolled into the station on Washington Street on Aug. 12, but fire personnel had to un- dergo training before the en- gine was considered opera- tional, Chief Ray Barber said. "Wedidaweek-long,in-house training to get our people up to speed on how it works, pumps and drives," Barber said. "We also had to get the equipment mounted. We should complete the training on Sunday and I'll give OES a call to let them know we're ready to respond." The engine can go out as a solo unit responding or as a strike team with the other wildland engines received by agencies in neighboring coun- ties, Barber said. Redding, An- derson, Susanville and Chico are the other agencies to re- ceive OES engines. If the engine were to go out as a strike team, both Barber and Capt. Dom Catona are trained to be strike team lead- ers, however, the department will be trading off with the other four engines in the re- gion as to who sends out the strike team leader. While it is designed to go out for wildland fires specifically, the engine can be used for whatever the Office of Emer- gency Services determines it is needed for. This could be any- thing from a state emergency to transporting personnel to the scene of a fire or other emergency, Barber said. When not needed for state emergen- cies, it will be available for lo- cal use on vegetation fires and in mutual aid calls. The state reimburses the cost of sending personnel to fires and there is no additional cost to the city aside from day to day costs of fuel when the depart- ment uses the engine locally and minor maintenance costs.
