ByHeatherHacking ChicoEnterprise-Record SACRAMENTO Nobodyhascalled an end to California's drought. Yet, it looks like people in North- ern California will have more wig- gle room when it comes to water use. Gov. Jerry Brown mapped out a new water agenda Monday. In about a week the State Water Commission will make more deci- sions. What's expected is for each of the 400 water entities in the state to look at their water situ- ation and decide what will work within their area. In an updated executive order issued Monday, Gov. Brown made it clear he expects California res- idents to keep some of the new habits learned during the most re- cent drought. Way back when, the state had a goal of reducing water use by 20 percent by 2020. Those goals still remain, the executive order reiter- DROUGHT Morewater, within reason for north state By Heather Hoelscher hhoelscher@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Heather on Twitter RED BLUFF Two Fresno men in- volved in a marijuana robbery gone wrong were both sentenced Monday at the Tehama County Superior Courthouse to 42 years and four months in state prison. The defendants, Alan Doul- phus Jr., 28, and Chase Doulphus, 25, pleaded guilty at a March 18 confirmation hearing to three counts of second degree robbery with special allegations and one count of voluntary manslaughter. The men had previously rejected a plea offer on Jan 15 to the same sentence they received Monday. The two men, along with a third man, Roger Bounnhaseng, 34, of Fresno, allegedly tried to rob a medical marijuana growing operation about 16 miles west of Red Bluff in the 15800 block of State Route 36W on Oct. 3, 2013. After getting reports of a gun- shot victim, the Tehama County Sheriff's deputies and Red Bluff COURT Fresno men sentenced in marijuana robbery By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Much discussion was given at Tuesday's Tehama County Board of Supervisors in a study session with public input re- ceived on potential amendments to the Tehama County Charter re- garding supervisor salary adjust- ments and a potential ballot mea- sure. The study session was brought up after the topic of a poten- tial ballot measure was raised a number of times in the past few months by supervisors, Tehama County Counsel Arthur Wylene said. The salary is presently set at $1,045 a month and has not been adjusted since 1989. There is some compensation in the form of an auto allowance. Supervisor Bob Williams kicked off discussion for the board and said he is concerned that with Tehama County being one of the lowest paid supervisors in the state that there will come a time that no one will run. His other concern was the county would potentially end up with some- one that is not going to do an ad- equate job. This could potentially cost the county about $20,000 to $30,000 in special elections costs if that person were successfully removed and a replacement was needed, he said. The low salary also eliminates those with families to support as the supervisor position is a full- time job in itself, but not one that could adequately support a fam- ily, Williams said. Supervisor Burt Bundy said the cost of running for the election as well as attending events or meet- ings for the county is not some- thing reimbursed by the county and it all adds up. "I do enjoy the job and it's in- teresting, but statewide we're the lowest paid," Bundy said. One solution mentioned was that the ballot measure give an increase up with a cap in place. That could be something like $500 a month increase over a multi-year period until a reason- able amount similar to surround- ing counties of similar sizes. Another option was to tie the supervisor salary to another po- sition that is not voted on by su- pervisors so as to prevent conflict of interest.

"This is something we started a few years ago," said Sherry Drake, a Red Bluff High School teacher and Tehama County Special Olympics Committee Member. "The money goes to Tehama County Special Olympics and sending students to out of town events. It's something that gives us a little extra boost (budgetwise)." Over time, the event that includes mem- bers from several of the local Tehama County law enforcement agencies and their families who work as servers, has seen the addition of a raffle, which has become quite popular, Drake said. "The law enforcement officers and com- munity members donate the raffle prizes and, of course, also support us by coming in and eating," King said."We get a lot of re- peat customers in addition to M&Ms regu- lar customer base." There were also three student athlete rep- resentatives, including Austin Stroud, Jason Leon and Tyler King who came and served alongside the officers and deputies. King was joined by his mother Shelley McCullough and sister, Teen Miss Tehama County Kiley King.
