SOLAR Continued from page 1A The city has looked at solar agreements before and according to staff reports, energy costs at the Waste Water Treatment Plant, about $6,000 a month, are the single largest expense for the city. "We've entertained a couple of preliminary plans for a Power Pur- chase Agreement," Brewer said. "The bottom line is, for all intents and purposes, the city would go off the PG&E grid and agree to buy power from the solar company." While that would allow for a sig- The committee Wednesday, April 4, 2012 – Daily News 7A Country Village area, said Sgt. Kevin Busekist. Stolen items such as a potted plant or other decorative items are often unreported because of they are not high-value items, which makes returning them difficult, he said. Those who have "This is probably one of the most exciting activ- ities I've seen because people are coming togeth- er," Russell said. The committee has already garnered $9,000 in promised donations with a goal of raising $15,000 altogether. Calling it a "stone soup" approach, commit- tee member John Growney told the board that each participant is bringing something special to the project and bringing peo- ple together. The way it is coming together shows Tehama County collaboration, he said.

There is also no guar- antee of what would happen if the company were not there for 30 years and if the city was getting a good deal, he said. "How do you support that this is the way to go when one minute you commit to a company and another solar guy comes and is able to beat it by half a percent the next day?," Brewer said.

While solar projects at airports are not new, with several at airports in Redding, Bakersfield, Stockton and Fresno, his company's program is new, Brick said. Senate Bill 1078 was passed in California with the goal of increas- ing the amount of electricity coming from renewable sources and in response PG&E and other utilities are seeking renewable projects, Brewer said in the staff report. The goal of SB32 is to put ener- gy where you utilize it instead of exporting to the site, Brick said. The 20-year lease is necessary because in order for Ecoplexus to sell electricity to PG&E they have to have site-control for the duration of the agreement, Brick said. "I can't see anything but a win- win for the city if this goes through," said Councilman John Leach. The lease would be for about $1,200 per acre, per year, which would equal about $18,000 per year or $360,000 over the 20-year period per parcel for the two 15-acre plots, Brewer said.

Envi- ronmentalists say the process destroys salmon habitat by chang- ing the contours of streambeds, releasing toxic mercury leftover from the Gold Rush, and generat- ing silt that chokes spawning beds. The fish and game department had not been served and could not comment on the lawsuit until it had a chance to review it, said spokeswoman Jordan Traverso.

Richfield is currently one of the highest performing schools in Tehama County, and according to Superin- tendent/Principal Rich Gifford, still has room for enrollment in most grades for next school year. Schools earning the Distinguished School title agree to share their signature practices with other schools and serve as mentors to other educators who want to repli- cate their work.

He is also usually a faultless dresser and has the manners of a gentleman.* and the man who loses the girl and we are encouraged to laugh at is usually short, stout and partially bald. Women must like to watch the hero type on the screen or directors would not have them. But, did you ever notice the type of men that good looking and charming women pick for husband if they stay single until they are old enough to think? They pass up the handsome gentlemen with outdoor piney smell and take a chance on ordinary looking men like you and I who look like they may be better providers. .*Editor' s Note: This was, of course, before the era of I am going on record and predicting that it will not rain this week or next.

If we do not like what they do we can appeal to the District Attorney or the Grand Jury. And of course we can vote them out of office at the next election. Most of the men we elect have had no experience running a large business such as our County is at present. If the Supervisors do what they think is best there will naturally be those who disagree with their decisions. But whether we think they are doing their best or not, no one should be allowed to insult them while they are in session. * * * The Kraft Library would like to collect any Souvenirs, tracts, City Directories or papers in print up to 1925.
