reduce and prioritize the order of what can be held off for a year versus what we have to have," Goodwin said. The recommended bud- get takes into consider- ation a 5 percent cut across the board in services and supplies that departments were asked to make, Good- win said during his report to the board. The super- visors' travel and training budget was cut 23 percent, about $5,300 in savings. The budget includes $2.5 million in additional ex- penditures that were added in the 2015-2016 fiscal year to areas that serve the most vulnerable, from expan- sions in Public Guardian and Veterans Services to modernization in technol- ogy and security for law en- forcement. An anticipated increase in health insur- ance that may be as much as 6 percent is accounted for. There is $15,000 ear- marked for a potential bal- lot measure regarding su- pervisorcompensationthat willbediscussedattheJuly 12 meeting. There is time to make changes the next time the budget is brought up in August for final approval, Goodwin said. The budget as approved can be viewed at www. co.tehama.ca.us. It includes recommendations regard- ing fixed asset requests. A request for $25,000 for vehicles from Environmen- tal Health and $43,200 in technology upgrades for the Tehama County Sher- iff's Department are rec- ommended due to possi- ble loss of grant funding. Another $173,700 in fund- ing for two TRAX buses is recommended for the same reason. A $115,000 recommen- dation for technology up- grades to the Tehama County District Attorney's Office was approved due to the need to comply with court directives to go pa- perless. There is a $4,000 rec- ommendation for improve- ments and betterments not attributed to a single de- partment due to poten- tial loss of grant funding while another $336,300 in improvements and better- ments was asked to be put on hold. A total of $1.5 million in requestswasrecommended to be put on hold, including $553,000 for a jail surveil- lance security system and $371,000 in vehicles. An- other $74,500 of that hold was a request for technol- ogy upgrades.

The feasibility study will include information on po- tential rail routes, addi- tional uses of the rail cor- ridor such as trail, passen- ger service and redundant fiber optic, economic ben- efits, environmental and cultural impacts, rail in- frastructure design con- siderations, timeline and costs to develop. In addition to the grant, the non-profit organization Land Bridge Alliance will provide $69,000 in match- ing funds and in-kind ser- vices to the project. The al- liance was formed to pro- vide an open and publicly accessible venue for fac- tual information related to the creation of a feasibility study which leads towards answering the question of viability of the newly pro- posed rail corridor. "The need is for trans- portation options for freight and passenger uses, over a long period of time, upwards of a cen- tury," said Burton. "This transportation link would have many social and eco- nomic benefits and na- tional implications. This project, if built, will have long term jobs implica- tions, as well as business and tourist economic fac- tors. As a first step, this study will help determine the potential costs of a built project." Rail FROM PAGE 1 REDDING Dignity Health discovered June 6 that the information of 520 Mercy Medical Center Redding pa- tients had been inappropri- ately accessed. This incident involved the company's business partner, naviHealth, which assists the hospital with pa- tient support after leaving the hospital, according to a release issued Friday by Dignity. From June 2015 to May 2016 naviHealth unknow- ingly employed a person as a case manager who was working under an as- sumed identity and nurs- ing license. When navi- Health discovered the prob- lem, it immediately severed ties with the case manager and prevented further com- puter access. Law enforce- ment was contacted and naviHealth is cooperating in the on-going investiga- tion, the release said. The information ac- cessed by the individual during the term of em- ployment included: Stan- dard clinical information, such as diagnosis, lab re- sults, medications, dates of treatment, and provider notes; individual informa- tion, such as name, address, phone number, social secu- rity number, date of birth, email, medical record num- ber, account number, dates of service and health insur- ance account information, such as group health plan number and member ID. Mercy is notifying the individuals whose per- sonal and sensitive infor- mation may have been im- pacted. As a precaution it is providing them with rec- ommendations on how they can protect themselves from identify theft. In addition, the hospital will enroll the patients with a credit monitoring service for the next year and assist them in placing a fraud alert in their credit files. For its part, naviHealth has taken a number of steps to ensure this doesn't hap- pen in the future. All calls made by this case manager were recorded; and these recorded calls have been reviewed for content and clinical accuracy. All cur- rent naviHealth employ- ees' nursing licenses and identification have been reviewed and confirmed as authentic. New employ- ees will go through addi- tional screening processes when hired. "All of us at Mercy Med- ical Center Redding deeply regret the inconvenience this has caused our pa- tients," said the release. "We take the confidentiality of our patients' information very seriously."

The Associated Press BELLFLOWER Two Los An- geles County sheriff's depu- ties were critically injured during a series of gun bat- tles with a man who had fled a routine DUI check- point and later held a resi- dent hostage for hours be- fore his arrest early Friday. One deputy was in crit- ical but stable condition following surgery and the other was in fair condition, aSheriff'sDepartmentstate- ment said. Both were expected to survive. The man arrested for the shooting, identified as 39-year-old Juan Manuel Martinez, was arrested on multiple charges of attempted murder of a peace officer and kidnap- ping a civilian. Sheriff Jim McDonnell said Martinez engaged in three separate gun battles late Thursday in a residen- tial area of Bellflower, a Los Angeles suburb. The first be- gan when a motorcycle dep- uty pulled Martinez over af- ter he drove through a DUI checkpoint. Martinez stopped his car, got out and immediately be- gan shooting at the deputy, hitting him several times, the sheriff's department said. The deputy returned fire and Martinez fled. He then engaged in a second shoot- ing with deputies who re- sponded to the first shoot- ing, and another deputy was wounded, McDonnell said. No deputies were hit in a third gun battle with Marti- nez shortly after. Martinez was able to flee to a nearby home, where the Sheriff's Department said he took a man hostage inside a converted garage. The man was later able to escape. After an hours-long standoff, deputies were able to drive Martinez out using tear gas and arrest him, Mc- Donnell said. Martinez was being held on a bail of $10 million. It's unclear whether he had an attorney yet. Meanwhile, another gun- man killed himself Friday after a confrontation with police officers in the north- ern Los Angeles suburb of Burbank, police said. A report of a disturbance sent police to a McDonald's restaurant shortlyaftermid- night where they found Lee Edward Denney, 29. Denney had told employ- ees he had a gun. Officers evacuated the workers and ordered Denney to leave the restaurant but he ignored them, Sgt. Claudio Losacco told City News Service. Three officers opened fire after Denney shot off several rounds and then leveled the gun at officers, Losacco said. Denney then jumped through a shattered win- dow into the drive-thru area, where he shot himself andwaspronounceddeadat a hospital, Losacco said. Denney, who had been in Los Angeles County for about a month, was wanted in Maury County, Tennes- see for aggravated burglary and domestic assault, po- lice said. LOS ANGELES Man arrested in shootouts that wounded 2 deputies By Scott Mayerowitz The Associated Press NEW YORK Thousands of fliers enrolled in trusted traveler programs such as PreCheck aren't getting the expedited screening they paid for because of cleri- cal errors with their reser- vations. The most common prob- lem is that their date of birth or government "known trav- eler number" has been en- tered incorrectly into a reservation. Other times, the name on the itinerary doesn't match the name used to enroll in PreCheck, Global Entry or one of the other government pro- grams. This is particularly a problem when bookings are made through travel agents who might transpose infor- mation, airlines say. There have always been issues matching passen- ger data but with recent long lines at Transporta- tion Security Administra- tion checkpoints leading to a spike in PreCheck enroll- ments, there are now more data problems too. The TSA and some air- lines are responding, try- ing to catch these problems long before passenger ar- rive at the airport. The TSA has started to help travel- ers through a new Twitter channel launched last fall called @AskTSA. "The earlier you know about the issue, the more time our team has to re- solve the problem," says Jennifer Plozai, director of external communications with the TSA, who manages the @AskTSA social media program. Passengers who don't check in until they arrive at the airport have little time to fix any problems. Fliers only know that they have PreCheck once a boarding pass is generated. Staff at the TSA's Trans- portation Security Opera- tion Center in Herndon, Vir- ginia assist fliers who reach out through a direct mes- sage to @AskTSA. That staff then work with airlines to rectify the mismatched in- formation in a reservation. Plozai says the most com- mon issues revolve around known traveler numbers, or KTNs. These are the unique numbers members are given once a traveler is confirmed in a trusteed traveler program. Fliers enrolled through Global Entry or other Cus- toms and Border Protec- tion programs will have a nine-digit number, most likely beginning with "98" — such as 981234567. Those who enrolled directly in PreCheck with have nine letters or digits begin- ning with "TT" — such as TT1234ABC. This number needs to be put in the "known trav- eler" space on a reservation, not in the "redress number" space. American Airlines has taken the unusual step of vetting all passengers with a known traveler number in their AAdvantage frequent flier profile or reservation through TSA databases 72 hours prior to departure. If those travelers aren't granted PreCheck in the test run, American sends them an email notifying them of the mismatch and to double check the information. The first email was sent June 16. During the first week running the sys- tem, messages were sent to 11,683 passengers, ac- cording to airline spokes- man Ross Feinstein. Many of the problems stem from travel agencies who incor- rectly copy the traveler's in- formation. Even if a flier's AAdvantage profile has the correct information, the booking is based on data submitted by the travel agency, Feinstein says. "With more and more people applying for TSA PreCheck each day, we have seen many participants who are not receiving TSA Pre- Check due to errors," Fein- stein says. None of the other major carriers are reaching out proactively to customers. Delta Air Lines spokesman Morgan Durrant, for in- stance, says that passengers have "the best chance of success" in fixing the prob- lem more than 24 hours in advance. Other airlines say they aren't seeing as many is- sues. Southwest Airlines spokesman Brad Hawkins says because most of the airline's passengers book directly with the carrier, there haven't been prob- lems. United spokesman Charles Hobart says that "we haven't seen a signifi- cant number of issues with the topic."
