Use permits granted Days vate for children’s camps County planning commissioners Monday night . ted two use permits for c en’s camps to be constructed and operated on sites on Highway 49, south of Grass Valley, The permits are subject to certain conditions which include specified types of fencing, and stipulations that neither camp shall add to the school population of the district involved, There was some discussion and debate concerning a definition of “adequate fencing’’ which would protect young campers from potential dangers of streams and ponds, and nearby” property owners from trespassing by the young campers, Dep. County Counsel Brian Bishop acknowledged that ‘‘adequate fencing’? never has been defined substantially, but in jest offered a “dated opinion” of some time ago. “i is that which would discourage anyone climbing over without damaging their knickers,” However, commissioners finally agreed upon a combina-. tion of hog fencing and barbed wire, Mr and Mrs, William G, Manning were given a permit to operate a summer camp for children between the ages of eight and 12 years on property in an unclassified district on Wolf Road, near its intersection with State Highway 49. Attorney Frank Francis, representing several adjacent property owners claimed his clients were not opposed to the Manning camp, but asked for fencing along Wolf Creek which ‘‘has many deep holes,’ and is an attraction to children.

Licenses for businesses paid annually will be $32 beginning July 1 and $40 for those paid quarterly. The vote to raise the fees was unanimous among the five councilmen present. The first reading of the ordinance change will be Monday and the second reading at the May 25 meeting. The incrbased revenue for the city is “desperatedly needed" the council heard from City r Beryl Robinson Jr. Robinson listed expected revenue _—for the 1970-71 fiscal year as $294,500, $14,000 under the ~ present year's revenue. . “By cutting everywhere I could we will spend $337,400 to operate the city next year," he added. With $35,000 left at the end of this fiscal year we will still be $8,000 short of having a balanced budget. Robinson said $6,000 is budgeted every year, and not spent, for a parking lot. Deducting the $6,000 "we are still $2,000 in the hole," The business license fee for city-based businesses has fe-. mained at $16 ifpaid-annually ing portions of the creek which flows through their property. Ken Casper, representing another property owner, suggest-ed the condition which would control possible increase of the school population in the district.The other permit was given to Marian Sise to operate a camp in an unclassified district on Garden Bar Road about five 7 west of State Highway 9, Sharon Mahaffey, sharing most feminine aversion to worms, said the proposed site is a 236-acre parcel upon which a worm farm is now in operation, She confessed that the planning department may have erred when it sent her on the on-the-site inspection of the present worm farm, and her attitude implied squeamishness for the slithering products of the present farm. Chairman Bert Livingston “presumed”? the worms will be evicted before the children arrive, and he was assured his presumption is correct. Commissioners followed the » planning department’s recommendations concerning conditions pertaining to health and welfare and added some addi. tional stipulations. However, Bob Caris, in his motion for approval did not include suggested conditions which would have limited the ages of the campers to 10 to 12 years, and which would have required one adult supervisor for every 10 children. Because Caris did not include the two recommendations in the motion, Livingston, Roy Petersen, and Ken Gordon voted against it and it passed by a 4-3 vote. and $20 of paid quarterly for over a dozen years, Robinson said. Doubling the fee will bring in an additional $2,200 of revenue, "just enough to balan the budget." Leo. Angelini, the new coun-_ 3 cilman seated at the last meeting, asked about the revenue 3 lost by removing the parking meters and the gain expected in sales tax money. "Sales tax revenue is down," Robinson said. Bob Paine said the $6,500 “we lose annually without parking meters and parking fines is a vital loss to the city." Robinson listed the businesses on Broad Street and only two pay appreciable amounts of sales tax, Alpha Hardware and Western Auto, he said, The other Nevada Theater .
