The new fees are reasonably related to the cost of providing the specific service for which
the fee is to be charged, and is necessary to cover the City's cost of providing the service.
The provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act do not apply to the new or
increased fees, which are for the purpose of meeting operating expenses or a portion thereof.

amendments represent a net increase of$5,251,925, of which $4 million is to be used for capital
improvements in the Airports and Wastewater divisions. The General Fund is proposed to increase
by $844,580, of which about $575,000 is for the Police and Fire Departments, and approximately
$250,000 of the Police Department increase is related to a budgeting error in that the 1999-2001
Biennial Budget failed to properly account for previously negotiated salary increases.

positions, four of which are upgrades from part-time to full-time and one is a combination of two
part-time positions to one full-time position. He stated that all ofthe expenditure increases can be
absorbed within the existing long-term financial plans as there are proposed revenue increases
totaling $5,706,525, of which $1,111,360 is related to the General Fund.
City Manager Warren noted that Council budget priorities were considered, and staff is
recommending an additional park maintenance worker, continuation of the additional $100,000 in
special projects contingency, and an ongoing $300,000 General Fund capital outlay set-aside that
could be used for any capital projects, including the Redding Plunge. It is recommended that City
Council adopt the Budget Resolution as presented.
Belinda Sanda, 1677 Kildare Drive, related concerns with maintenance of Mary Lake in view of the
recent decline in water quality. Opining that Mary Lake is an important resource to the community,
Ms. Sanda requested that funds be allocated to correct the water quality and maintain the lake.

and that Mary Lake should be an asset, not a liability, to the City.

Lake.

Kersten, who is heading an internal task force regarding the correction of water quality and

Plan. This study has been reviewed and verified by the Department of Public Works and a
hydrologist retained by the City, and SDS requests that the 1993 Storm Drain Master Plan be
modified to reflect the finding of the new study.
He stated that the first part of the SDS study is a hydrologic analysis of Little Chum Creek that
estimates that 100-year flood peak flows are 10.5 percent less than the 1993 "existing" condition
100-year peak flows and 26 percent less than 1993 "future" condition 100-year peak flows. This
reduction in flows is attributable to an existing upstream detention area not considered in the 1993
report. Mr. Goodwin noted the study also found this detention basin could be enlarged by the City
by modifying the outlet and acquiring additional property adjacent to the basin, and this could be an
economical solution to downstream flooding which staff will pursue and return to Council if
necessary. The second part ofthe study is a hydraulic analysis that appears to show flooding in areas
not shown to flood in the 1993 Storm Drain Master Plan. This is a result of a more detailed I
computer analysis and examination of contours in the area.
Mr. Goodwin advised the conclusion ofthe study is that the channel design for the Safeway site can
be modified from the 1993 Storm Drain Master Plan projections, and that land upstream previously
believed to be above the 100-year flood plain may actually be subject to flooding while other
downstream areas will have a reduced 1 OO-year flood plain. Potential flooding should not delay the
Safeway project since any potential flooding upstream is not due to the development proposed by
Safeway.

Mr. Goodwin summarized that 1) the improvements proposed for the Safeway development will not
result in increased flooding upstream or downstream, 2) the improvements proposed will not
increase channel velocity or downstream erosion, and 3) detention at the site will not result in
reduced peak flows downstream of this development per Council Policy No. 1806, rather it will
compound run-off problems.
It is the recommendation of staff that City Council approve the storm water analysis of Little Chum
Creek submitted by SDS allowing Safeway to proceed subject to meeting the criteria in the study,
that staff submit an amendment to Council Policy No. 1806 to incorporate the study in the Policy,
and that staffbe directed to finalize the limits of flooding further upstream, notify property owners
and work on mitigation as outlined in Alternative 1 in the staff report.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Kight, seconded by Council Member McGeorge, to approve
the storm water analysis of Little Chum Creek submitted by SDS and allow Safewayto proceed with
the development subject to meeting the criteria contained in the study, and directing staffto submit
an amendment to Council Policy No. 1806 incorporating the study, and to finalize the limits of
flooding further upstream and notify property owners of 100-year storm event flood levels and
modify maps as required. Voting was as follows:

WASTEWATER CONNECTION FEES FOR CHA TSWORTH PRODUCTS. INC.
(W-020-590-075, L-OI0-390)
Assistant City Manager Perry provided an overview of the Report to City Council dated July 12,
2000, regarding wastewater connection fees for Chatsworth Products, Inc. (CPI), at a temporary
leased facility in the Mountain Lakes Industrial Park pending construction of its new facility on
Airport Road. He stated that the Public Works Industrial Waste and Engineering staff have
evaluated CPI's wastewater production and determined the need for an additional 24 household
equivalent connections at a cost of $64,992. He noted that CPI was approved for use of the Jobs
Creation Credit/Deferral Program and the Electric Utility's Economic Attraction Service Rate, both
of which only apply to the new facility on Airport Road. Staff feels that the situation is unique and
provision could be made for prepayment and transfer of the connection fees if the facility is built
within a reasonable period of time.
It is the recommendation of staff that City Council authorize entering an agreement with CPI
allowing them to transfer any wastewater connection fees paid at their temporary manufacturing
facility in the Mountain Lakes Industrial Park to its future permanent manufacturing facility on
Airport Road so long as the move is completed and the temporary facility closed within 24 months.
The agreement would require acknowledgment by the landlord of the temporary facility that the
additional capacity paid for by CPI would be transferable by CPI to a new facility and not reside with
the temporary facility.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Pohlmeyer, seconded by Council Member Kight, 'authorizing
staff to enter an agreement with CPI allowing that wastewater connection fees paid at the temporary
manufacturing facility in the Mountain Lakes Industrial Park be transferred to the future permanent
manufacturing facility on Airport Road provided the move is completed and the temporary facility
closed within 24 mon.ths. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes.
