The passage followed a heated discussion with several audience members objecting vehemently to the fee. Carlson objects to the develop- ment impact fee because it places a heavy burden on a few people rather than the community as a whole, she said. The projects the fee will go toward benefit more than just those doing the devel- opment. The fee is a tax in Carlson's eyes and with the economy still recov- ering would be a burden on peo- TEHAMA COUNTY Supespass development impact fee Staff report RED BLUFF A collision occurred Monday on State Route 99W, just south of Liberal Avenue, resulting in a fatality and major injuries. Skye Smith, 39, of Corning was driving a 1997 Chevy Tahoe southbound on 99W at a high rate of speed when she swerved around and in front of another ve- hicle traveling in the same lane, causing both of them to run off the road, according to the press issued Tuesday by the California Highway Patrol. The Tahoe struck a guard- rail and then a power pole after swerving to the west side. The ve- hicle overturned numerous times, ejecting the passenger, John Wil- liamson 35, of Corning. Williamson suffered massive head trauma, resulting in fatal injuries, the release said. Smith received major injuries. As Smith approached the other vehicle, a 2000 Nissan Max- ima, from behind she reportedly swerved left to pass before swerv- ing back directly in front of the FATALITY One dead in Corning collision By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF The Tehama County Board of Supervisors and the Red Bluff City Council held a second joint meeting Monday to discuss the various options for the jail ex- pansion project and it impact on Madison Street. Expansion, as proposed, would close Madison Street between the existing jail and the Tehama County Library, the site of the ex- pansion. During public comment of the supervisors' meeting Tuesday, Chief Administrator Bill Goodwin said the jail expansion team was going to seek additional funding for a bridge option to avoid clo- sure. This was estimated to cost about $3 million, but Goodwin said it may no longer be an option. Michael Scott, from Commu- nity Corrections, has clarified that a bridge would not be the best option for the project, Good- win said. Scott said if extra funding was sought, the project would have to return to the original budget description and plan, which in- cluded the Day Reporting Cen- ter. The Day Reporting Center is on Antelope Boulevard and has been successful at that location, according to previous reports. The project leaders decided to keep the center there instead of adding more work and cost to the project. "What we are looking for is a reentry facility at that site," Good- win said. "We will work with the board and get the board's direc- tion to move forward with the re- alignment of the street or the clo- sure of the street." Both bridge and the tunnel options to avoid closure of Madi- son have been taken off the table, Goodwin said. "We have to go forward with this project," Supervisor Steve Chamblin said. Chamblin said he would pre- fer to have a bridge put in over Madison Street but he finds the realignment option to be the best for the immediate need for jail ex- pansion. Moving the whole jail was sug- gested by members of the public during an Oct. 26 meeting, but Goodwin said this is an option for the future and is not feasible at this time. There is an imme- diate need for the expanded jail. If the jail, including the expan- sion, becomes a temporary facil- ity, then funding for a new, bigger jail outside of downtown will be something the county could seek at that time, Goodwin said. If a new jail is built outside of down- town, the extended jail could be- come a sheriff's administration JAIL EXPANSION County,citydiscussMadisonStreetoptions By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF Joyce Bundy, office manager for the Tehama Dis- trict Fair, was presented with the Western Fairs Association's Blue Ribbon Award recently in recognition and appreciation of her dedication and support to the fair. "This is quite an honor," Bundy said. The award is presented to an individual, group or organiza- tion who have in some way con- tributed to the fair, whether it is by working for the fair or by helping out the goals of these Blue Ribbon winners is to make a successful fair. "I feel that I have joined a very elite group of people that have been recognized by the Tehama District Fair with this Blue Rib- bon Award," Bundy said. It was something she was not expecting and something she said she had never dreamed she would be recognized with. "I don't work in organiza- tions, or with organizations or committee for recognition," Bundy said. "I get involved with civic and community and other organizations just to make it a successful event." Beyond being the office man- ager, Bundy was involved with live stock exhibitors, concession- aires, carnival concessionaires, exhibitors and many other peo- ple throughout the fair to make the 2015 fair possible. She has been dedicated to working in these organizations to serve the youth of the community. Bundy was a director on the fair board for 13 years and pres- ident during that time for one to two years, she said. She was the secretary of the Junior Livestock Auction Committee for more than 30 years and is still on the committee. Since Bundy moved to Cali- fornia in the 1960s she has been active in the 4-H program and was a horse leader for years. She also is a member of the Central Tehama Kiwanis club. Bundy has seen a lot of phases of the fair, she said, and now with her working for the fair she is seeing another phase that shows how the fair and the fair- grounds are all pulled together.
