Webber said the city's approach is to meet the homeless population with compassion offering to first connect them with local services the ones that re just like 'no I just want to be homeless then the Grants Pass decision is going to allow us to have a little bit more authority to step in and say 'we understand you want to do that but you're not gonna do that here any longer,'" Webber said Oroville police chief Bill LaGrone says despite the ruling offering a bit more leeway "There’s other amendments to the constitution that have to be respected and there’s people’s rights and there’s dignity so it’s very challenging all the way around," LaGrone said According to the report that will be presented Tuesday the city is planning to bring on 17 non-sworn officers to assist with monitoring and enforcement with more going through the background check process "I don't think you're gonna see this big "The unhoused population in Oroville that would be out in the community that is causing problems is managed fairly well here in town We don't have the large encampments in public right of ways like you might have in other communities as they struggle with that issue." — A vehicle fire was reported in South Oroville Monday morning The fire was captured on a PG&E ALERT Wildfire camera around 6:45 a.m The Cal Fire Butte Unit/Butte County Fire Department responded They confirmed the location to be in the area of Baggett Marysville Road where a large plume of smoke was seen filling the air No word on what caused the fire or if there were any injuries No other details are available at this time Chico, Calif. — South Oroville has seen a number of recent shootings, and the new cameras installed in the neighborhood can read license plates and have enhanced audio that can detect gunshots. Information from the cameras can be uploaded to a cloud system that police can use to track stolen vehicles or find criminal suspects with warrants. Amid the recent shootings in the area, Oroville Mayor David Pittman told KRCR that the cameras are one solution to help deter criminals in the area. Neighbors who live near one of the cameras spoke positively about them earlier today. “I like it. I think it’s a good idea. There’s been a lot of gunshots. I was wondering why [there’s] suddenly an uptick in violence," said longtime resident Lori Hartland. "I don't go out late at night, so I don't see a lot of it, but yeah, it is bad.” Another resident says she was concerned that the presence of cameras might lower property value in her neighborhood, but thought the cameras could positively impact crime in the area. Oroville Police chief Bill LaGrone said this week that the department is going to start increasing patrols in the neighborhood this month. Oroville, Calif.--- — Juneteenth has been celebrated in America's Black communities since 1866, commemorating the emancipation of slavery. On June 19th, 1865, Union General proclaimed freedom for the slaves of Galveston, Texas, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, and two months after the end of the Civil War. In 2021, president Joe Biden signed legislation making Juneteenth the nation's newest federal holiday. In Oroville, The African American Family and Cultural Center (AAFCC) has been celebrating annually for over a decade. Grant came to Oroville from Jamaica a decade ago, and caters Northstate events. Caribbean staples like Jerk Chicken cook on the grill while Grant prepares side dishes. South Oroville has one of the largest and most historic black communities in the Northstate, and many locals work with the AAFCC to promote positive organizations. Youth groups like Diverse, a local dance organization, also made an appearance. “All the dance teams in Oroville are super expensive,” said member Mayah Jones, “so it’s free. It’s just an opportunity every Friday for people to come and dance and do their thing.” Van Bilbo is a South Oroville native, and represented the South Oroville African-American Historical Society at the park Saturday. The group, he says, was founded to highlight Butte County’s often forgotten locals. “African-Americans have been a part of the history of Northern California for a long time, well over 150 years,” Bilbo said. “But if you look at the history books, or any of these local historical societies, you’re not going to find anything about African-Americans.” Bilbo’s family members migrated from Arkansas and Louisiana to Northern California, in search of a better life, much like many of the black settlers Bilbo found in Oroville’s historical records. “Settling here in California, they could get equal wages for their work, they could send their kids to school with white children, they could buy property,” Bilbo continued. “Back South they couldn’t do that. The Jim Crow laws were very strict.” Ultimately, Bilbo finished, “Juneteenth is important to me because it signifies freedom for our people. But we are not free yet. One of the reasons we started, this historical society is to inform people about things that we have gone through, things that we need to do to improve our community, and to make some progress.” Malcom Dixon, the event’s DJ, grew up celebrating Juneteenth in his native Sacramento and appreciates the opportunity to continue the tradition in Butte County. Dixon scratched his turntable as “Diverse’s” group of half a dozen young black girls danced for the park’s spectators. Now that Juneteenth is a federal holiday, Dixon added, representation is more important than ever. “It shines a light on what black folks have to bring to the table other than the stereotypes that are out there,” Dixon said. “It’s one of those things where we get to reshape the narrative that you see just kind of out there on media and on tv.” LIVE UPDATESFirefighters on scene of vegetation fire in South Orovilleby Miranda Angel OROVILLE, Calif. — Firefighters with Cal Fire's Butte County unit are on scene of a vegetation fire in South Oroville Monday morning.

OROVILLE, Calif. — Update, Friday, April 19, 5:50 p.m. — State Route 70 has re-opened after a significant crash just north of Palermo Road, south of Oroville, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) confirmed. Breaking Report — Highway 70 is partially blocked following a crash near Oroville, CHP officers said. According to CHP,At approximately 1:00 p.m. Friday, officers from CHP-Oroville were dispatched to the scene of a significant traffic collision on State Route 70, just north of Palermo Road, and just south of the city of Oroville. Officers say a fatigued driver operating a maroon Ford Edge, traveling northbound on Highway 70, crashed into a Ford Ranger towing a travel trailer. This initial collision set off a series of events leading both vehicles to lose control and veer into the southbound lanes. Simultaneously, a southbound Ram 2500 pulling a utility trailer was unable to avoid the oncoming vehicles and struck the side of the Ford Ranger’s travel trailer. The impact destroyed the trailer, scattering debris and contents across the roadway. Currently, Highway 70 roadway is partially obstructed. Southbound traffic has been redirected into the center turn lane, while northbound traffic is being routed through the right lane. Cleanup operations are actively ongoing with additional crews en route to fully reopen the roadway. Despite the severity of the collision, there have been no injuries reported at this time. LIVE UPDATESOroville Pallet Shelter gets more funding from cityby Anwar Stetson OROVILLE, Calif. — Pallet shelters for the homeless are one step closer to being built in the city of Oroville. That's right. The Mission Esperanza Project, a new pallet shelter space for the homeless, was allocated $750,000 in funding from the city council at Tuesday night’s meeting. The Oroville Rescue Mission, which would oversee the project, said the goal is to have 30 pallets, each with two beds, plus another five single-bed units for mobility challenged residents. City Consultant Suzi Kochemssaid to the council that without funding from the city, as well as funds from the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) the site would only be able to build 15 pallets. “It’s been great working with the city,” said Oroville Rescue Mission CEO Allan Dikes. “It’s nice that we are co-laboring together, and that we have a common purpose to help the unhoused neighbors of our community.” The project was initially slated to open in October, but Dikes plans have been delayed, with construction hoping to begin that month instead. Dikes is hoping for more long term funding channels to help permanently house residents in Oroville, and says he hopes to begin housing folks in Mission Esperanza this January. LIVE UPDATESSouthside Oroville Community Center future uncertain as contract expires soon by Jerry Olenyn OROVILLE, Calif. — The future of the 30,000 square foot Southside Oroville Community Center on Lower Wyandotte Road is up in the air as the joint agreement with the City of Oroville and Butte County with its current stakeholders will expire in May of 2021 Currently, the Oroville Southside Community Improvement Association (OSCIA) operates the facility where it's used for functions that benefit the south Oroville underserved population spelling bees and social dances are held here Pastor Kevin Thompson is worried they will go away if the City of Oroville takes control of the property "It would be heartbreaking to see this building leave its intended purpose," said Thompson said no decision has been made regarding the facility those events could still be held in the large facility while also serving city business "Absolutely," said Oroville City Manager Bill LaGrone " There have been hypotheticals for what it could be used for but nothing is set." "Our council has not set anything to either move forward take action or adopt an idea for what would be used for the facility." A decision by the Oroville City Council won't be reached until the spring of 2021 when the contract with OSCIA expires OROVILLE, Calif. — Chico's new homeless housing site is almost open and their Butte County neighbor could be doing the same is working to create a pallet shelter of their own Nearly two acres behind their current shelter on Lincoln Boulevard would serve as the location with 30 pallet shelters that house four people each providing up to 120 unsheltered individuals their own personal space They are looking at the same company that created the 177 pallet shelters currently constructed at Chico's site While she says aspects of Chico’s housing site could be utilized she says it would be somewhat opposite: rather than heavy on units and lighter on services and employees their site would be lighter on units and heavier on service and employees "There's still the same homeless problem (as Chico) I just think Oroville is figuring out a different way to handle it,” says Terry while providing a tour of the currently grass-filled lot behind the shelter It's a lot better than putting people in a wooden shed with no heat or air." This project is proposed to simultaneously provide an overnight camping and RV site located on the same property The idea is that this would provide occupants a place to safely park their vehicles or camp with security supervision nightly before being asked to leave for the day once the sun rises The plan additionally proposes a partnership with Butte County Behavioral Health services though it’s unclear if accepting this aid would be a condition of staying on-site The city hired a grant writer to apply for this grant which was submitted in December by the deadline the project would still be years from completion Terry estimates the required land preparations would take approximately a year and a half to two years it’s a long process the Oroville City Council indicates they are on board with though Mayor Chuck Reynolds remains skeptical “I think it would be good to have a place for people to go as long as the proper supervision We can’t simply create a warehouse for people to stay in and not receive treatment There has to be some kind of plane forward to grow standing outside his Oroville office Thursday morning Following a presentation at Tuesday night's council meeting he says it was revealed that the mission did not apply for the full amount that it could have they want a community buy-in: individual businesses civic groups or people that donate money to cover a nearly $250,000 difference for a more “successful” project This would be done through such ventures as naming parts of the property or buildings after these donors believes they should squeeze every last penny they can get from the state if it’s available "There's no reason to put yourself in a hole before you start,” says Reynolds “If the government is offering the money and this is the type of business you're in I would get the full grants so you can make a very nice Terry says they have yet to hear back from the state on if they will receive this grant money at all “How can you convince people that this is something that is very necessary?” asks KRCR that every community has to come up with their own solution We have an opportunity to be part of the solution and not just complain about the problem,” responds Terry “Permanent housing is always the ultimate goal and I think we need to help everybody willing to accept help to accomplish that goal in their lives.” To report errors or issues with this article please email the editorial team.
