UPDATE ON MAJOR PROJECTS - Aquatic Center
(A-050-080 & P-050-700-600)
Administrative Services Director Bachman presented a progress report for the Aquatic
Center (the Plunge) project. He stated that the completion date is still uncertain and although
the contractor, Dale Construction, initially indicated they would attempt to complete the pool
by July 2002, the contract provides for completion in September. He reported that the
Recreation Division is making arrangements to accommodate the swimming program needs
of the community for Summer 2002 with assistance from the Redding School District.
I
Community Services Director Niemer announced that Mercy Medical Center recently
contributed $100,000 to fund the Aquatic Center's large slide feature, and this amount is
attributed to the fund raising efforts and commitment by the Redding Swim Teams to raise
a total of $200,000.
John Diperry, President of Mercy. Medical Center, thanked the City Council for the
opportunity to participate in the Aquatic Center Project, stating that it was an investment in
the continuing health of the community.
Ms. Niemer also expressed appreciation to the Shasta Children and Families First
Commission which provided a $30,000 grant to fund the large water play feature at the
Aquatic Center. She advised that former Redding Mayor David Kehoe is a strong proponent
of the grant and suggested submittal of another proposal to fund various youth programs at
the Aquatic Center.

Commission for their contributions to this community project.

Construction, has been achieved and a report of these changes will be presented to Council
for consideration at a future meeting. He stated that the $130,000 in contributions reported
by Ms. Niemer is unanticipated revenue for the project and will provide Council with an
opportunity to return some amenities previously earmarked for removal due to insufficient
funding.
No action is required on this informational item.
UPDATE ON MAJOR PROJECTS - Sports Complex
(A-050-080 & P-050-600-200)
Assistant City Manager Perry reported that building plans for the Sports Complex are 85-
90% complete, site development plans are 50% complete, traffic signal designs are
underway, and dedication honoring programs have begun. However, development of cost
estimates for sewer line extensions are on hold pending approval of the 404 permit (for
wetlands encroachment) from the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). He advised that permits
4/2/2002
70
have been ,obtained for the Project from the Department ofFish and Game and thy Regional
Water Quality Control Board, but the Environmental Protection Agency (EP A)
recQmmended denial of the 404 Corps permit due to wetlands impact issues. Mr. Perry
related that after conversations with the Corps and EP A earlier today regarding permit
approval, it was determined that the City must qemonstrate (from an environmental
perspective) that the proposed Project site is superior in comparison to foqr viable alternative
sites with regard to all relevant factors an~ mitigation solutions. The proposed report will
be similar to reports prepared for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), but
language and terms will apply to the EP A. A wetlands mitigation plan must also be
s.ubmitted for the site's .96 acres of wetlands settjng aside funds to buy into a wetlands
mitigation bank or placing funds ,in escrow to allow the Department ofFi~h and Game or the I
City to acquire alternative wetlands property south of Tarmac Road.
Mr. Perry cautioned that construction of parking areas, grass planting, and other
miscellaneous infrastructure should be done before November 15, 2002, to remain on
sche4ule and within budget, but these items are dependent upon 404 permit approval.
Unfortunately, the 404 permit process involves a federal agency and the amount of time for
review and approval is unknown. While the City waits for approval, the goal to open the
Sports Cqmplex by May 2003 becomes problematic' and although the construction
environment is positive at this time and interest rates are reasonable, it is unknown what six
months will bring.
Redding resident Carl Arness expressed frustration regarding outside agency requirements
significantly increasing costs for City projects. Mr. Amess also questioned adequate parking
at the Sports Complex fa,cility and the necessity of constructing a replica stadium.
No action was required on this informational item.
CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DEVELOPMENT RELATED PROCESSES - Zucker Report
(A-050-122)
City Manager Warren recalled that in October 2001, the City retained consultant Zucker
Systems (nationally recognized specialists) to review customer service and development-
related processes and practices in the City to determine if improvements in service could
obtain a higher level of customer satisfaction.
I
Mr. Warren observed that in preparation of the report, Zucker Systems conducted interviews
with two City Council Members, three City Planning Commissioners, and two focus groups
comprised of21 development industry representatives selected by the Chamber of Commerce
and Shasta Builders' Exchange, City Manager Warren, Development Services Director
Hamilton, Economic Development Director Mitchell, City Engineer Goodwin, Building
Official Nagel, and other City staff. He noted that surveys were mailed to approximately
1,300 customers of the Permit Center reqqesting information about their experience when
conducting business at the City.
In the final report, Zucker Systems made several recommendations and also noted the
success of recent improvements in facilities and staff. Also identified in the report are areas
in which improvements are still needed, such as sufficient staffing and time delays for permit
processmg.
City Manager Warren recommended acceptance of the report by Zucker Systems and that
staff be directyd to return with an implementation program incorporating the
recommendations contained in the report for City Council consideration.
Vice Mayor Cibula thanked staff for reviewing the processes within the City in an effort to
improve service to the public.
I
MOTION: Made by Council Member Stegall, seconded by Council Member McGeqrge,

REVISED HOMELESS CONTINUUM OF CARE PLAN AND MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING - Continuum of Care Council
(H-150-200-050)
Deputy City Manager Starman recalled that in compliance with the Department of Housing
and Urban Development's (BUD) requirements to provide a plan for developing a long-term,
comprehensive strategy to aid homeless individuals and families to become more self-
sufficient, the City and County of Shasta provided funds to Northern Valley Catholic Social
Service (NVCSS) to facilitate development of a Homeless Continuum of Care Plan (Plan).
He indicated that the plan is necessary to access federal funds for homeless programs under
the McKinney Act. NVCSS acted as the lead agency of a coalition comprised of homeless
service providers and governniental agencies which worked together to form the Continuum
of Care Committee and develop the Plan. However, the City Council did not approve the
Plan in July 2000 because of funding issues for specific projects.
Mr. Starman explained that the Continuum of Care Council (previously the Continuum of
Care Committee) revised and updated the Plan to reflect previous Council concerns, and the
Committee is requesting that Council reconsider the Plan at this time. Mr. Starman related
that the Plan documents inventories of existing programs, proje~ts, and organizations in the
community dealing with homeless ,issues, attempts to identify needs and service gaps, and
formulates long-term strategies and priorities. He recommended acceptance of the revised
Homeless Continuum of Care Plan and. approval of the Memorandum of Understanding
between the City of Redding, the County of Shasta, and the Homeless Continuum of Care
Council.
Melinda Brown, representing the Health Continuum of Care C9uncil, advised that the Care
Council was comprised of staff from the City's Housing Division, Police Department, Shasta
County Mental Health, and Shasta County Social Services as well as non-profit organizations
such as NVCSS, Good News Re~cue Mission, family service agencies, and a member of the
public, Frank Salas. She explained that the PI~n was primarily a guideline to track needs and
progress but macie no local funding commitments.
I
In, response to Vice Mayor Cibula, Mr. Sta,rman stated that the information contained in the
needs assessment was revised within the last two months to include up-to-date information.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Stegall, seconded by Council Member Pohlmeyer,
accepting the revised Homeless Continuum of Care Plan; approving the Memorandum of
Understanding between the City of Reddipg, the County of Shasta, and the Homeless
Continuum of C~re Council relative to the City's participation on the Continuum Care
Council, and authorizing the Mayor to execute same. The Vote:

CAPITAL PROJECT ESTIMATING PROCESS
(B-050-020)
Support Services Di~ctor Kersten explained that a review of the last 60 capital projects
revealed that most w~~ successful projects completed within budgetary estimates. However,
he noted that those projects which experienced budgetary conflicts were both unique and
complex. He related that projects are normally assigned on the basis of which City
department is best able to fully understand the needs of the project, best equipped to seize
funding opportunities, and department's with the least time constraints.
Mr. Kersten recommended that the City Council approve the following processes for those
projects with a unique or complex structure:
1. The City Manager shall appoint an ad hoc department head committee, with the
City's soon to be retained "in-house" consultant/project manager to provide cost
estimates.
2. _ A specialty consultant will complete a scoping analysis (partial design) upon
recommendation of the ad hoc department head committee and approval by the City
Council.
3. Fast-tracking will not be permitted, unless approved by the City Council.
4. Additive alternates will be utilized during the bid process, if practical, and sparingly,
to provide options if costs appear to have a potential to exceed a project's authorized
budget.
4/2/2002
72
5. Should. a PfojeGt w~th an estimated pudget.in excess of $100,000 appear likely to
eXGe~d its a~th9rized budget, the City Council will be not,ified immediately. Staff
will provide alternatives, including additiop.al possible funding sources and
recommendations for project modification to mitigate costs.
.
';. ;
Council Member Pohlmeyer clarified that projects recommended for review by the City
Council will inclu<ie the project scope, itemized costs estimates, additional items (alternate
additives) wi~l be clearly set forth as "extras" wl).ich are not in the project but desired, and
when contributions are known to be forthcoming, those items and funds will be clearly
identified within the 'report to the City Council.
I
, .
In response t<;> Vice Mayor Cibula, Mr. Kers~en stated that the City Council will have more
information reg~rding true costs at project appr9val, except during the budget process which
entails subjective estimates and may not necessarily be final project costs. He added that
much of the work done in thelscoping analysis portion of a project will be cost neutral if the
project goes forward; if not, the funds will be lost.
