DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
(F-205-600)
City Manager Warren explained that a developer pays development impact fees during the
building permit process to mitigate impacts the project will have on elements such as water,
sewer, storm drain, parks, recreation, and open space.
City Manager Warren recommended the following: 1) the City Council appoint a citizen
committee to review the Water, Sewer, and Storm Drain Master Plans and provide
recommendations for increasing development impact fees to accommodate future growth and
return to the City Council in sixty days; 2) provide a workshop regarding traffic
improvements to identify projects, alternatives, and financing strategies; and 3) after the
Community Services Advisory Commission has held at least two public meetings regarding
4/1/2003
62
the Parks, Trails, and Open Space Master PI~n, return the Plan to the City Council for
consideration.
City C;ouncil Members supported Mr. Warren's recommendations and acknowledged that
fees must be raised. Council Me~ber Pohlmeyer also suggested that a vegetation
management plan which enhances trails and provides additional public safety be incorporated
into the Parks, Trails, and Open Space Mast<;:r Plan.
Vi Klaseen, Redding resident, opined that City needs must be kept in balance with
development fees and should also include things such as greenbelts, trails, and libraries.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Stegall, seconded by Council Member Pohlmeyer,
authorizing implementation of a five-member citizen ad hoc committee to provide input and
recorn,mendations relating to the Water, Sewer, and Storm Drain Master Plans, with each
Council Member appointing one committee member; directing staff to finalize Water, Sewer,
. .
and Storm Drain Master Plans, and return to the City Council within 60 days with
recommendations regarding imple~entation financing and fee increases to accommodate
necessary growth; upon completion ofthe W ater/Sewer Mast~r Plans, public workshops will

SHASTA COUNTY JURY ASSEMBLY ROOM
(C-070)
City Manager Warren recalled that the building which now serves as the Shasta County Jury
Room was constructed in 1932 by and for the Women's Improvement Club. The area is now
earmarked for the parking structure site of the proposed Shasta County Administration
Building. He pointed out that the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for the
project included mitigation relating to the Jury Room which stated th~t if another site for the
building is found, and a group or agency is willing to assume responsibility for its removal,
the County would contribute $40,000 to such a project.
Mr. Warren related that due to concerns in the community rt?garding the historic significance
of the building, City staff reviewed criteria provided by federal, state, and local historical
agencies and determined that although the Jury Room ~as sentimental and aesthetic value to
the community, it does not qualify as a historic building.
I
Mr. Warren advised that a number of agencies including the United Way, Red Cross, and
Shasta County Arts Council have provided recommendations for use ofthe 2,920 square foot
building and potential ~ites. The preferred site is Diestlehorst Landing Non-Profit Business
Park (Non-Profit P~k) on Benton Drive. He pointed out that the building could be re-
located to a one-half acre pad in that area, but cautioned that it could take more than
$250,000 to render the building structurally sound and habitable.
Mr. Warren recommended that staff be given direction regarding the amount of time and
funds the City Council wished to commit to this non-City project, emphasizing that no funds
were allocated for the project and it is not on the priority project lists.
Susan Wilson, Jenny Moyer, and Melinda Brown urged the City Council to ensure proper
relocation of the buildin.g and explained that alternative designs for the proposed Shasta
County Administration Building incorporating t4e Jui-y Room Building were presented many
times to the Collnty, but the suggestions were dismissed in lieu of additional parking. They
preferred relocation ofthe building to the Non-Profit Park on Benton Drive and maintained
that although the lack of adequate parking at that location is an issue, it could be resolved.
I
Bill Seiffert and Ruth Sevier of Senior Citizens of Shasta County, Inc., located on Benton
Drive, supported saving the Jury Room Building but urged its relocation to another area due
to the lack of parking and its potential competition with the Senior Center rented by Senior
Citizens of Shasta County, Inc. to provide revenue for their organization.
Council Member Stegall and Mayor Cibula opined that the Jury Room has historical value
to the community and supported providing a pad for the building in the Benton Drive area.
However, if that proves unfeasible, dialogue should continue in order to find a proper
location for the project.
4/1/2003
63
Council Members Kight, Mathena, and Pohlmeyer concurred that the project is worthwhile
but did not believe the City should expend staff time or General Fund monies on a building
the City did not own. They stressed that this is a County project and the City's priority
project lists are severely burdened. Should the County take responsibility for moving its
building, Council Member Pohlmeyer suggested that the City could, in some small way,
assist with the project.
I
MOTION: Made by Council Member Stegall, seconded by Mayor Cibula, approving
Alternative No.2, directing staff to explore provision of a pad and site for the Shasta County
Jury Room building, provided that Shasta County and/or other parties take the responsibility
to coordinate moving the building and paying for rehabilitation, and further exploring the
issues such as parking presented by the senior citizen representatives. The Vote:

RESOLUTION - Authorizing participation in Northern California Power Agency (NCP A)
Member Agreement (Second Phase) for the Poe Hydroelectric Project
(E-120-070)
Electric Utility Director Feider highlighted the Report to City Council explaining that
Hydroelectric Project Number Two also known as the Poe Hydroelectric Project (Poe
Project) is an existing 120-megawatt hydroelectric generating station located on the Feather
River, currently licensed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to Pacific
Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). However, PG&E failed to renew the license application
by the deadline of September 30,2001. Mr. Feider related that PG&E's failure to renew its
license in a timely manner provided an opportunity, through litigation, for other entities to
4/1/2003
64
attempt to acquire the license. The Northern California Power Agency (NCPA) developed
a Member Agreement (Second Phase) for Financing of Planning and Development Activities
of the Poe Project in hopes of acquiring the hydro license which is a valuable renewable
energy source. He stated that the NCPA will engage in litigation to seek the license and if
Redding Electric Utility (REU) also participates, its share this year of the cost for litigation
will be approximately $130,000 to $260,000. He cautioned that the expense does not insure
that the license will be acquired, however, if successful, the City could potentially save
$400,000 to $900,000 per year for the life of the license.
Mr. Feider recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing participation
in the NCPA Member Agreement (Second Phase) for Financing of Planning and
Development Activities of Hydroelectric Project Number Two, the Poe Hydroelectric
Project. .
I
MOTION: Made by Council Member Pohlmeyer, seconded by Council Member Kight,

LEASE AGREEMENT - Turtle Bay Exploration Park
(C-070-100 & C-050-450)
City Manager Warren recalled that museums have used the Caldwell Recreation Center rent
free since 1992. Turtle Bay has subsequently moved to its permanent location at Turtle Bay
Exploration Park, but is now requesting the use of approximately 4,000 square feet of the
Caldwell Recreation Center (former Redding Museum & Art Center) to house artwork and
artifacts. Although no rent will be paid, Turtle Bay will pay 75% of electric and 50% of all
other utility costs, and share equally with the City in replacing the heating, ventilation. and
air-conditioning (HV AC) system next year at an estimated cost of $150,000, thereafter the
City will pay for routine maintenance of the HV AC and Turtle Bay will pay for any needed
materials. The originally discussed lease term was ten years with a 12-month notification
of termination. However, Council Member Mathena suggested altering the term of the lease
to five years and Turtle Bay has agreed, if necessary, to accept the alternative.
