Jan Sneed Rails to Trails Rescue Sanctuary
Jan's Rails to Trails Sanctuary is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) tax exempt public benefit corporation that provides a place for unwanted horses to live out their lives with loving care. Jan started the organization after she took in an abused horse in 2007 and nursed it back to health. Word of her work spread and soon she was contacted about other horses needing new homes. In order to pay the cost for maintaining the new barn residents, Jan began to give horse care and riding lessons to kids, and it became very apparent that both the horses and kids benefited from the relationship. While the core focus of the organization is to provide a sanctuary for horses, the fact that young people gain compassion, self-confidence and develop a sense of responsibility through their interaction with horses has led to Jan's efforts to also help children. Special consideration is given to children who are at risk or at a difficult time in their lives to give them support and integrate them into the available programs. Jan and Bob Sneed provide the main barn, arena, land and management of the operation with no renumeration. Sponsorships and donations to the program are tax deductible where allowed by the law and may be sent to Jan's Rails to Trails Sanctuary at 9 Hagenridge Road, Chico, CA 95973.
Jan served five terms, equaling 20 years, as a board member with the Chico Area Recreation District, (CARD), ending her service in November 2018. To recognize her years of service, CARD named their youth scholarship after Jan. The scholarship provides access to youngsters unable to afford program fees.

Tracy Mohr has over 45 years of experience in animal care and control, starting as a volunteer at a local animal shelter during her high school years. Although she had wanted to become a veterinarian, she felt that working on behalf of shelter animals would have more impact. Tracy’s experiences include vet tech, animal control officer, and animal shelter manager. She had previously run the shelter as the executive director for Butte Humane and worked for the city of Chico as an animal control officer. Tracy is also the founder of several non-profit organizations and has run a horse sanctuary since 2001. She has 8 years of experience as a building designer and was working out of state when the city asked her to come back. Tracy has been the Animal Services Manager for the City of Chico since 2012 when the city resumed shelter operations and moved the city to no-kill status in the first year. With limited staffing, Chico Animal Shelter has been able to drastically reduce the euthanasia rate, support at-risk animals, and provide programs that serve as a model for shelters across the country and internationally.

The Fire Chief’s job presents routine and emergency challenges every day. Preparation for emergencies requires far more time than does the actual response to those emergencies. In providing services to Chico, citizens, businesses, and visitors, a strong emphasis is placed on preventing emergencies before they happen. When prevention doesn’t work, the firefighters must be trained, equipped, and led in a way that minimizes death and injury, protects property, and preserves city resources. The Fire Chief has to protect every firefighter’s life by making sure the Department’s employees are highly trained and use safe procedures. Along with the City Manager and City Council, the Chief assures that fire fighting vehicles are modern, safe, reliable, and well maintained. The Chief emphasizes the use of high technology personal protective equipment. The Chief manages the Department’s budget and recommends hiring highly qualified employees. The Fire Chief, working with the Fire Marshal and Inspectors, enforces the Fire Code, investigates fires for origin and cause, and provides public life safety education. The Fire Chief works closely with the Police Department to provide 9-1-1 and dispatching services. He also works closely with the Public Works Department on the purchase and maintenance of fire apparatus and repair of fire stations. The Department has numerous mutual and automatic aid agreements with other agencies to provide fire, rescue, emergency medical, and hazardous materials response services. No matter how well the Fire Department is currently doing, one of the most important tasks of the Fire Chief is to be sure that the Department is never satisfied with the status quo. The Chief encourages ways to improve training, is responsive to the public, and embraces new technology.
