A multi-racial committee of Guadalupe residents will look into ways to improve the district's Affirmative Action plan starting next month, Henshaw told the trustees.

A contract for the new asphalt concrete blanket has been let to Madonna Construction Co for 1237.000 Local briefs 'J SANTA MARIA Twenty seconds after a public hearing on the Santa Maria Joint Union High School District budget opened Friday, it was closed.

In between the hammerings of the gavel by Board of Trustees president Joni Woods, there was complete silence. If there was any opposition to the $8.5 million budget from the taxpayers, it never surfaced. The only negative reaction to the budget, reduced about 024,000 after publication approval, came from Trustee Alice Patino during the final approval vote. As she did in the July board meeting, Mrs. Patino ppposed the budget because of unfair allocations' to the faculty and the administration in comparison with student needs.

Three other trustees approved the budget. "I don't feel we are giving enough money to the kids," she said of her vote. "The kids only have four years, the best four years of school. We should give it to them." Increased expenditures for the students was a major theme in Mrs. Patino's campaign for the district -board earlier this year.

"It's something I felt then and something I feel she said. Revenue for the special education program was reduced $24,000 because income must come from the school district instead of Santa Barbara County. The loss was balanced with a reduction in the contingency fund of $19,000 to $144,520 and small parings of other minor expenditures. In other action, the trustees heard a resident's complaint of a possible park being established near Ernest Righetti High School. Jean Church, 4019 Greenbrier Court; said Elaine Hansen, Santa Barbara County Park Department landscape planner, was attempting to have Myr-tese Development, Santa Maria, transfer two lots to the Park Department for an open space area.

The approximately 85-foot by 225-foot rectangle would turn into an area for student gatherings during school hours, Mrs. Church told the trustees. "I don't feel the park should be set up to instigate them to do their things," she said. "If an incident occurred, it would take two police squads to handle it because the open Ambulance firm not in lawsuit SANTA MARIA Professional Ambulance of Santa Maria was never involved in litigation in a lawsuit stemming from an accident at the Santa Maria Speedway on June 20. 1970.
