Yuba Lake was not as hectic as it used to be, said Carter, but all the des- camping areas were full. There were large parties at the Little Sahara Sand Dunes, the West Desert was crowded with campers, all the fishing spots were full, and camps in the for-ests were also being used to capacity. Of the arrests made, said Carter, there were several for open container, alcohol violations and DU1 (driv- under influence) arrests. There ing were 20 drug arrests. There were no deaths reported this year but there were some serious acci- dents, said Carter. ve-One of those, an ATV hide) acddent required partidpation of Bureau of Land Management employ- ees, members of the sheriff's office, West county ambulance crew members, and the sheriffs search and rescue team (all-terra- in members.

He was taken to Central Valley Medical Center by ambulance and was later transferred to another hospital. Carter said Miller was reported in critical condition with a punctured lung, broken ribs and a bro- ken aim. There were eight ambulance runs, just from the little Sahara Sand Dunes, and several injuries were taken directly to the hospital by private vehicle. One ofthe worst accidents in the West Desert occurred the weekend after mortal Day, said Carter, On Sunday near the crossing where the roadway crosses the railroad tracks on the way to Little Sahara, Dwayne Colley, 31, and employee of Union Pacific Railroad and Will Fullmer, a reau of Land Management employee, were both injured. Colley, from Texas, was working near the tracks making an inspection for Union Pacific. "It is probable that he didn't notice the train, said Carter. He drove onto the tracks just in front of the train and his Union cific truck was struck by the train. Colley was pinned inside the vehicle, said Carter. Fullmer was assisting with the rescue effort and was working on the truck trying to get into Colley. An EMT handed Fullmer the a piece of rescue equipment used to pry suffered from extremely strong cases of a county of 7,000 residents and the re- - control ordinance, have been drafted in this winter.

Schnurr said the council was asked not to make any recommendations until both attorneys have the opportunity to meet with the council and the New- tons. Schnurr said he had contacted the organization the community belongs to. Local Governments Trust, and discussed the issue with a representative of the staff. Bryce Lynn, mayor, said the LGT representative called with a recommendation. "However, we will hold off, as both attorneys have requested. The agenda item was officially tabled until the July meeting. Two planning commission meetings have been held since the May council meeting when Rick Schnurr was appointed to be the council person who would meet with the commission. Schnurr does not have a vote on the planning commission but attends the meetings as a representative of the council We have some professionals coming to our next planning commission meeting, said Jeff Boyd, city planning and building director. We will pursue taking our 1983 planning and zoning ordinance, which is the most complete, and reworking it. Boyd said the ordinance would then be presented to the council for input and for the ordinance adoption process. Schnurr said he has located 1974, 1933, and 1995 ordinances. "Some individuals think that the 1995 ordinance replaced all the preceding ordinances. However, our legal counsel, said that was not the case. "There is so much in the 1983 ordinance that the 1995 ordinance does not cover that we should use the 1983 ordinance as the guide except where some particular item has been updated in the 1995 ordinance, said Schnurr. "When the 1995 ordinance does not cover a situation, in those instances, the 1983 ordinance takes precedence." He said several issues had been addressed at those two meetings. One of y the issues was the need for a road of for all lots which are not part of the existing and already developed town road grids. g Another issue was the of water lines. right-of-wa- 68-fe- et after is considered a subdivision and must come under the subdivision ordinance.
