ANDERSON Couple pleads guilty in pot case By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF The Tehama County Board of Supervisors finalized the 2015-16 budget Tuesday in spite of concerns regarding stock market fluctuations and having to trans- fer reserve funds to bring about a balanced budget. "There have been some changes in the stock market, but I don't feel it changes any of my recom- mendations," Chief Administrator Bill Goodwin said. Among those recommenda- tions was a list of "a very ambi- tious campaign" of capital proj- ects totaling $10.5 million in- cluding $4 million for the new Tehama County Library site occu- pied by the Daily News, a $3 mil- lion health clinic expansion and $1 million set aside for contin- gency, Goodwin said. There was a proposal to add several county positions, some of which are to bring staffing up to pre-recession levels, at a total cost of $204,500 in the 2015-16 fiscal year. The 2015-16 budget contains a $14.1 million gap between expendi- tures and revenue thatis coveredin part by an $11.6 million carryover from 2014-15. That leaves about $2.5 million unfilled. In order to fill it, the budget proposed the use of one-time funds the county has received and reserves. One-time funds include a set- tlement from Office Depot for overcharging the county over an eight-year period and a reim- bursement from the completion of the new agriculture center. The other was from SB 90 re- payment, which is money the state had borrowed and repaid, Goodwin said. At the time it was repaid, the county did not need it, but put it in a special fund. "The use of reserves is necessary to have a balanced budget," Good- win said. "I was a little nervous Friday because of the stock mar- ket, but I still feel confident with the recommendations. There are two things that could still hurt us regarding the stock market: PERS and the state capital gains taxes." TEHAMA COUNTY Budgetfinalizeddespiteworries Stockmarketfluctuationsdon'tdeterprocess; 'ambitious campaign' among capital projects By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Red Bluff High School is undergoing several changes for the 2015-16 school year, which is just getting un- derway, including the imple- mentation of a seventh period as well as a campaign amongst athletes for better, healthier choices. The school district has changed scheduling to a modi- fied block schedule with seven periods instead of six. The stu- dents attend all seven classes Monday, Tuesday and Friday and attend the first three pe- riods for 90 minutes each on Wednesday and the last three for 90 minutes each on Thurs- day. The new schedule will allow the students to take an addi- tional Advanced Placement or Career Technical Educa- tion class their schedule might not have had room for before. "We're designing pathways for careers and every stu- dent will be exposed to a ca- reer pathway starting as fresh- man," said Superintendant Todd Brose. "They will spend some time with a career coun- selor and do career assess- ments and the good news is if they don't like the career path they choose, they can try an- other." Students will have until their junior year to make a final decision on the career pathway because they will be required to spend two years studying one particular path- way sometime during the four years they are attending the school.
