PUBLIC HEARING - Certifying the Supplement to Final Environmental Impact Report
(EIR-2-00) and Adopting the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the Redding Sports
Complex
(L-010-075 & P-050-600-200)
The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived, Vice Mayor Cibula opened the public hearing
regarding certification ofthe Supplement to Environmental Impact Report (EIR-2-00) and
adoption of the Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP) for the Redding Sports Complex.
I
The following documents are on file in the Office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no protests were received.
Development Services Director Hamilton provided an overview of the Report to Council
dated January 24,2002, recalling that the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the
Redding Sports Complex was certified by the City Council in March 2001. He stated that
since certification, there have been numerous minor changes to the project as it moved
through the design and engineering stage. However, principal changes such as the full access
driveway on Old Oregon Trail opposite Duffy Lane, reconfiguration ofthe parking lot and
construction of the sewer connection to the south instead of the west as originally proposed
made it necessary to prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) to EIR -2-
00.
Mr. Hamilton explained that the Supplement to the FEIR was considered by the Planning
Commission on January 8,2002, with no substantive public comments. He noted that the
supplemental report adequately addressed traffic issues related in three letters received.
Therefore, the Planning Commission recommended certification of the Supplemental FEIR.
I
Mr. Hamilton recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution making findings for
certification of the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report and the revised Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the Redding Sports Complex.
Marge Cantrell opined that the EIR did not adequately address significant existing and
potential problems with regard to parking, adequate notification of area residents beyond the
required 800 feet boundary, traffic congestion and signals, safety issues such as bike lanes
or trails for children, speed limits, and additional ingress and egress points. She stressed that
this youth-oriented project's foremost priority should be safety.
In response to Ms. Cantrell, Senior Planner Keaney stated that the total number of parking
spaces approximates 800 with a criteria minimum of 50-55 spaces per ball field. He
explained that standard project notification of surrounding properties is 300 feet. However,
notification mailing for the Sports Complex Project exceeded that requirement by an
additional 500 feet. Mr. Keaney explained that the only traffic issues are the additional
driveway and a pedestrian trail. He related that traffic analyses did not identify any
significant traffic congestion problems, and trip generation results contained in the original
EIR were based on full-facility utilization. In addition, the needs assessment did not require
a signal at Old Oregon Trail or Old 44 Drive.
I
Assistant City Manager Perry observed that the Final Environmental Impact Report certified
in March 200 I, evaluated a larger project than is currently being contemplated. He noted that
as additional ball fields are constructed, additional parking will be added. He related that a
walking trail will be constructed within the project, and bike lanes on Abernathy Road,
Viking Way, and Tarmac Road will be upgraded to City standilrds. He anticipated that the
County will widen Old Oregon Trail some time in the future.
2/512002
25
Vice Mayor Cibula suggested that staff contact the County of Shasta to discuss the possibility
of adding bike lanes on Old Oregon Trail to provide safe access to the Sports Complex for
pedestrian or bicyclists.
Vice Mayor Cibula determined that there was no one else wishing to address this matter and
closed the public hearing.
I
MOTION: Made by Council Member Pohlmeyer, seconded by Council Member Stegall,
adopting Resolution No. 2002-24, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding
making findings and certifying the completeness and accuracy of Supplement to the Final
Environmental Impact Report EIR-2-00 and adopting the revised Mitigation Monitoring
Program for the Redding Sports Complex.

DOWNTOWN TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT AD HOC COMMITTEE
(B-080-600)
Deputy City Manager Starman stated that disappointing information was received recently
from the Regional Tran~portation Planning Agency (RTP A) after completion ofthe Report
To Council dated January 4, 2002. The RTPA indicated that a significant number of
proposed projects over and above estimates are competing for the first round of State
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds. Unfortunately, the funds are insufficient
to accommodate all ofthe projects approved earlier by the RTP A. He related that the State
Transportation Committee (STC), responsible for allocating the funds, will be meeting later
this week to discuss the cash flow dilemma, and it may be that the Railroad Grade
Separation/Switching Yard Relocation and the Downtown Mall Circulation projects will be
placed on hold for up to two years pending available funding.

SPORTS COMPLEX PROJECT - Update and Recommendations for the Sports Complex
and the Aquati~ Center
(P-050-600-200 & P-050-700~600)
Assistant City Manager Perry provided an overview of the Report to Council dated January
29, 2002, regarding the progress and status of the Sports Complex project. Mr~ Perry
explained that based on Council's decision at the January 15, 2002, City Council meeting to
transfer $550,000 from the Sports Complex to the Aquatic Center, a review of the Sports
Complex as it currently exists was in 'order. He provided a brief overview of the Project
budget relating that $15,450,000 is earmark~d for on-site improvements with an additional
$1,210,000 dedicated to off-site improvements such as traffic signals, turn lanes on Old
Oregon Trail, sewer line extension ~nd a water lift station.
I
Mr. Perry recalled that Council also directed that the prefabricated multipurpose facility be
considered an additive alternate. In light of that decision, Project Architect Big League
Dreams requested that the Vinyl Pavilion then be lengthened to include a concession stand
and restroom rather than a separate free-standing concession building. This change will
require an amendment to the architect's contract.
He related that the site plan has been submitted for approval to the California State
Department ofFish and G(IIIle and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Mr. Perry reviewed the list of items to be included in the base bid and those items that are
designated as additive alternates. He explained that the City is limited on the amount of
additive alternates to 10% of available funds, or approximately $1,360,000.
Mr. Perry reported that staff researched all-weather versus grass soccer fields, and while all-
weather fields are slightly more expensive, they are the most cost effective in the long run
because they can be used for a longer period of time throughout the year, and maintenance
costs are reduced.
I
Mr. Perry related that design work is underway on the project off-site improvements which
primarily consist of traffic signals and improvements, installation of a booster water pump
and a sewer line extension. These items are scheduled to go out for separate bids in summer
of 2002.
Mr. Perry reported that the study for the geothermal heating unit for the multi-purpose
facility was very positive at a cost of $220,000 including insulation and will be funded with
Public Goods monies using Set-Aside funds.
2/5/2002
27
He indicated that Project completion is scheduled for April 1, 2003.
Mr. Perry recommended that the City Council confirm the list of additive alternates, approve
inclusion of the HV AC system and insulation as part of the Multipurpose Facility, direct staff
to determine the need for a signal at the eastbound offramp of Highway 44 to Airport Road,
direct staff to amend the architect's contract if the vinyl pavilion can be modified without
delaying the start of construction, and proceed with at least two all-weather soccer field
surfaces.
I
Council Member McGeorge commended staff for addressing Council's concerns while
making both the Sports Complex and the Aquatic Center Projects obtainable.
Administrative Services Director Bachman presented an update of the Aquatic Center Project
(Redding Plunge) advising that the contract with Dale Construction has been signed and
work has begun on the project. He added that the contractor is still hoping to complete
construction by July 1,2002, although the contract completion date is September 13,2002.
Mr. Bachman noted that staff is working with Dale Construction on deductive change orders
as directed by Council, and investigating alternate methods of providing revenue to offset
elimination of the 50~ increase to adult admission. He also advised that Redding Rotary has
begun demolition work on the old change house.

City Manager Warren observed that the annual "3-on3" Basketball Shootout Event has

toward the project. Mr. Starman stated that the OP A: 1) incorporates the terms and
cop.ditions of the Acquisition and Pre-Construction Agreement approved by the Agency in
April, 2001; 2) provides for the balance of approved funding; 3) sets forth the obligations
ofCCH with regard to the rehabilitation of the Hotel Redding; and 4) converts the existing
deferred loan to a residual receipts loan. He added that CCH requested that the $225,000
Operating Grant be converted to a residual receipts loan and CCH be authorized to use the
loan proceeds for operating expenses as well as rehabilitation-related activities, and proposed
that $100,000 be transferred from the "relocation line item" in the project budget to the
"rehabilitation line item" to more accUrately reflect CCH's most recent budget projections.
Neither request will increase the loan commitment ofthe Agency or the City.

interest, depreciation, and amortization is $13,461,140.00, but below the projected
