SUPERVISORS Discussionof elected official salary request sent to Ad-Hoc By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF A mandatory settle- ment conference was set Tuesday in the case of Anthony Nahinu, who was allegedly involved in a Red Bluff Diversion Dam shoot- ing of a teen in July, for 10 a.m. Oct. 5 in Department 2 of the Te- hama Superior Court by Judge Todd Bottke. A preliminary hearing will be set if the court does not come to a settlement at the conference.
