Council also authorized staff to contact property owners in the area to determine support for detachment of a larger 960-acre area surrounding the property in question.

However, due to difficulties encountered in providing adequate infrastructure and road improvements to the area, plans for developing the area were abandoned. Mr. Hamilton stated that Mr. Jones is interested in moving forward with the detachment, believing it more cost effective to develop the 174 acres if the property was returned to the County. I It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council approve detachment of only those two parcels (174 acres) in the original detachment request made by Mr. Bob Jones.

URGENCY ORDINANCE - Regarding Interim Zoning (L-O 1 0-500) Development Services Director Hamilton stated that at its meeting of November 28, 2000, the Planning Commission recommended adoption of an Interim Zoning Ordinance to bridge the gap between the newly adopted General Plan and the City's established Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Hamilton explained that failure to ensure consistency between the two could place development approvals in the City in jeopardy should a legal challenge arise. The Legislature recognized this potential problem and authorized interim zoning ordinances to eliminate such inconsistencies.

He mentioned that the City's public safety employees currently have Fourth Level Survivor Benefits which provide benefit amounts higher than the Indexed Level. The public safety employees would be moved to an Indexed Level when the benefit amounts equal those currently provided to public safety employees. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council offer the ordinance for first reading approving an amendment to the contract with CalPERS to provide Indexed Level 1959 Survivor Benefits for miscellaneous employees. 12/05/2000 278 Council Member Pohlmeyer offered Ordinance No. 2278 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding approving an amendment to the contract with CalPERS to move forward with implementing the Indexed Level 1959 Survivor's Benefits for miscellaneous employees.
