County seeks fed funds to expand methadone program
County supervisors authorized officials to pursue up to 250000 in federal funds to broaden the methadone maintenance program for heroin addicts. Health Officer Dr. Gerald Heidbreder said the Office of Economic Opportunity showed interest in reducing the county’s long waiting list, with 590 patients currently treated and over 4000 on the list. He expects the grant to cover much of adding 150 patients before July, as the 1972-73 budget allocates about 580040 for the program.

Supervisors oppose extra retirement pay and health plan
County supervisors clash over a proposal to grant 20 weeks of retirement pay and fully paid health insurance to executives. Kenneth Hahn and Ernest Debs denounce the benefits as unfair while debates split into separate drafts for executives and rank and file raises. Officials note current premiums and project the full executive coverage would cost about 57 thousand dollars a year, with broader implications if extended to all employees.
