Shasta County Supervisor Trish Clarke provided an update regarding the success of the

generosity in funding this worthy program.

UPDATE ON MAJOR PROJECTS - Library Design
(L-050 & A-050-080)
City Manager Warren provided a brief chronology of action taken by the City Council and
community in pursuit of a grant from the State of California for construction of a new public
library. He advised that a State bond measure was passed last year to provide grant funds for
new construction or renovation of libraries throughout the State. He explained that
applicants for these funds far exceed the amount of funds avaih,lble and competition is keen.
In order to ensure a successful application, Shasta County and the City, in partnership, have
retained architects, consultants, and a designer to assist in the grant application process. Mr.
Warren then introduced City of Redding Grants Coordinator Cherpeski.
I
Mr. Cherpeski provided an update of progress regarding the library grant application. He
pointed out that the grant application must be submitted to the State of California by June
14,2002, and successful applicants will be announced in late October 2002. He noted that
recent reports indicate that several cities and counties have withdrawn from competition
leaving Redding/Shasta County the only active applicant north of Sacramento for first round
funding. If the City/County application is successful, construction is expected to begin in
February of2004 with completion by Summer 2005.
Mr. Cherpeski reported that the County has submitted the necessary environmental
documents to the State of California Clearinghouse Office of Planning and Research in
conformance with requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). He
explained that Sequoia Middle School studynts are providing a video ofthe existing library
which will be submitted with the grant application, and Shasta Union High School District
has approved a Joint Use Agreement with the County to partner and share resources with the
High School as a library satellite. Mr. Cherpeski added that design consultant LP A is
considering the possibility of seeking a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEE D) certification which will make the building not only more energy efficient, cost
effective for lighting, heating, and cooling, but will also provide an edge in the grant
application process.
I
LP A Architect Rick D'Mato explained the process through which design of the library
evolved. He related that the design incorporated the use of natural light, historical events,
and area land elements such as the Sacramento River, Mt. Shasta, and native wildlife. He
stated that much of the existing landscape, including trees, will be saved and utilized in this
design.
4/16/2002
81
Mr. D'Mato presented an artist rendering of the outer facade ofthe building and pointed out
that the primary focus was natural light and sustainability (environmentally compatible and
energy efficient) and emphasized that the roof shape responds to and maximizes both north
and south natural lighting.
Council Member Cibula expressed concern that a correlation between the design ofthe Civic
Center and the library was not as evident as anticipated.
I
Mayor Kight stated that although the library and Civic Center served different functions, he
had not considered that the designs would be so radically different and opined there should
be an apparent relationship. He stated that while the proposed roofline of the library appears
artful and abstract, it does not relate to the theme of the campus.
City Manager Warren clarified that the design was conceptual and changes could be made.
He also suggested that there seemed to be a consensus among Council Members that with
the exception of the roofline, there appeared to be no other objections to the design at this
time. He thanked the architects for inviting citizen input during the public workshops and
incorporating many of their suggestions into the design. He believed the County and the City
were in a good position to receive a grant for the new library and felt very optimistic for the
success of the project.
No action was taken on this informational item.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING - May 7, 2002
(A-050-060)
City Manager Warren suggested that due to the performance of a very notable entertainer on
the evening of May 7, 2002, at the Redding Convention Center, the City Council may wish
to consider an alternate starting time of 6:00 p.m. for the May 7 City Council meeting. Mr.
Warren explained that citizens may wish to attend the performance as well as the City
Council meeting.
I
Council Members were concerned that such requests were precedent setting and concurred
that the regularly scheduled meeting of May 7, 2002, should commence at the prescribed
starting time of7:00 p.m.
RESOLUTION - Approving purchase of aerial ladder truck and master lease agreement with
Oshkosh Capital
(B-050-100fP-150-070nJ-050-400-100)
City Manager Warren explained that although the purchase of a fire truck would normally
appear on the Consent Calendar, he wanted to highlight public safety issues due to concerns
expressed by citizens regarding the Public Safety Master Plan. Through the competitive bid
process initiated by the City of Sacramento, Redding will be able to purchase a 105-foot
Aerial Ladder Truck from Pierce Fire Apparatus, at considerable savings. The average cost
of a 105- foot aerial ladder truck is approximately $750,000, however, through the diligence
of Fire Chief Gunsauls, the ladder truck will cost $550,281.51.
Mr. Warren recommended adoption of the resolution to enter into a master lease agreement
with Oshkosh Capital in the amount of$550,281.51 in order to purchase one 105- foot Aerial
Ladder Truck from Pierce Fire Apparatus, Inc.
I
MOTION: Made by Council Member Pohlmeyer, seconded by Council Member Stegall,
adopting Resolution No. 2002-67, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding

principal amount of $550,281.51 for an 105-foot aerial ladder truck from Pierce Fire
Apparatus, Inc. of Appleton, Wisconsin for the Fire Department; and authorize the City
Manager to execute the Lease-Purchase Agreement. The Lease term is from April 22, 2003

RESOLUTION - Appropriating funds for the Redding Aquatic Center;
RESOLUTION - Authorizing use offinancing proceeds to reimburse the City for the Aquatic
Center and Sports Complex project expenditures
(B-130-070/B-050-020/P-050-700-600/P-050-600-200)
Administrative Services Director Bachman provided an overview of the Report to Council
dated April 8, 2002, recalling that on January 15, 2002, the City Council awarded the
constr~cti9n bid for the new Redding Aquatic Center to Dale Construction, Inc., conditional
upon the elimination of fast-tracking, deferral of the scoreboard/timing system, and deferral
of $60,000 in deck and change house furnishings, as well as negotiating $175,000 in
deductive change orders. At that time, the City Council also directed staff to eliminate a
proposed 50~ increase in the price of adult admission to the Aquatic Center and explore I
alternative revenue sources.
Mr. Bachman reported that $60,125 in deck and change house amenities have been deleted
from the project, the construction contract was awarded for $3,986,157 eliminating fast-
tracking and scoreboard alternates, and $175,412 in reductions through deductive change
orders to the contract have been achieved. He noted that a full-time Program Supervisor was
hired in February 2002, to manage the Aquatic Center, and she has developed a programming
schedule which will produce sufficient revenue to offset the proposed 50~ increase in adult
admission. Mr. Bachman pointed out that although interest rates are slightly higher at this
time (5.3% as opposed to 5% projected in January), reductions have been made to mitigate
the difference.
Mr. Bachman recommended that the City Council approve deductive change orders to the
construction contract in the amount of $175,OQO; adopt a resolution appropriating funds for
the Aquatic Center Project and accept those funds as additional revenue for the Project; and
adopt a resolution approving the declaration of official intent to acquire, construct, and
improve the Aquatic Center and Sports Complex Projects to reimburse certain prior
expenditures from proceeds of indebtedness.
Council Member Cibula expressed concern that pool lane lines were listed as unfunded and
stressed the critical need for defined lanes in competitive swim meets. He requested that lane
lines be considered a priority item when adding elements as funds become available. Mr.
Bachman was confident that racing elements for competition will be funded through private
donations.
I
MOTION: Made by Council Member McGeorge, seconded by Council Member Pohlmeyer,
approving the deductive change orders to the construction contract with Dale Construction,
Inc., in the amount of$175,000; and adopting Resolution No. 2002-68, a resolution of the
City Council of the City of Redding approving and adopting the 45th amendment to City
Budget Resolution No. 2001-104: 1) appropriating $3,240,270 for the Aquatic Center
Project; and 2) accepting $3,240,270 in additional revenue for Aquatic Center Project for

to add fluoride, public objection resulted in the State's refusal to compel and enforce the
mandate.
