UPDATE ON MAJOR PROJECTS - Emergency Operations Center
(A-050-080 & P-150-050)
Fire Chief Fry explained that in 2001 an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) was
established to provide coordination of information, services, and resources in the event of
a major emergency or disaster. The City's Emergency Operations Plan (Plan) provides a
standard emergency management system utilized statewide and was updated in 2000.
Training sessions are held twice each year and provide practical training exercises and
information to EOC team members.
Development Services Director Hamilton presented an overview of statistics regarding
responses provided through the EOC during the recent snow storm. He pointed out that over
180 calls were received for various types of emergencies such as downed trees or collapsed
roofs and at the peak of the storm activity, approximately 5,000 Redding Electric Utility
customers were without power. Through coordination with SHASCOM, the EOC was able
to eliminate duplicity of responses by equipment and personnel.
Assistant City Manager Perry related that in response to the wide-spread storm damage, the
City will provide free disposal of trees, branches and limbs during the month of January.
I
In response to Council Member Stegall, Chief Fry advised that the month of March has been
added to the permissible bum schedule this year to enable residents to dispose of storm
debris. He explained that trees and other debris that fell during the recent storm will not be
dry enough to bum without excessive air pollution until approximately March.
Council Member Cibula suggested adding emergency information to the City's internet in
order to reduce the number of calls for information such as locations of emergency shelters
and bum information.

On behalf of the City Council, Mayor Pohlmeyer commended those who assisted in the

in the amount of $625,000 has left the State Legislature Committee and is now included in

in Sacramento this year.
Mr. Bachman advised that environmental issues are still under review and an amendment to
the contract with the environmental consultant to shepherd the project to the next
environmental level will be forthcoming soon for Council consideration.
No action was required on this informational item.
FINANCING PLAN - Community Revitalization and Development Corporation
(G-IOO-075-101)
Council Member Cibula advised he will abstain from discussion and voting on this item due
to family property holdings in the area.
I
Deputy City Manager Starman provided an overview of the Report to City Council dated
December 19, 2003, recalling that the California Revitalization and Development
Corporation (CRDC) has successfully purchased and rehabilitated units in Redding utilizing
loans from the City's Federal Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds. He
advised that the CRDC is proposing acquisition and construction of six three-bedroom units
in the Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK) Neighborhood and is asking the City for a loan of
HOME funds in the amount of $730,000 which represents 100% financing. Mr. Starman
pointed out that public benefits of the project are to remove blight, assist with some
revitalization of a "target" neighborhood, provide long-term affordability for area residents,
and strong property management.
Mr. Starman explained that while CRDC proposed two separate loans (the first for $470,000
at 1 % interest for 30 years and a second loan of $260,000 with no interest and payments
deferred for 30 years), Council Members Mathena and Stegall expressed concern regarding
these terms and suggested restructuring the loans to a single loan at 1 % interest amortized
over 55 years with a due date in 30 years for reassessment.
Mr. Starman noted that he is modifying the recommendation as contained in the staff report.
He recommended that the City Council approve a single loan of $760,000 at 1 % interest
amortized over 55 years, with a 30-year due date, and a 55-year rent limitation to CRDC for
acquisition and construction of six affordable housing units in the MLK Neighborhood,
contingent upon receipt of Authority to Use Grant Funds ( environmental clearance) from the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Council Member Mathena clarified that the request to modify the terms of the loan would
provide additional working capital inflow that could be used for other projects during the life
of the loan.
I
Fran Jenkins, Redding resident, expressed support for revitalization of the MLK
Neighborhood, but was concerned that this will create another "tax-free property" project
supported by City tax-paying residents. She pointed out that future residents of the project
would utilize City, County and school services without cost. She requested a compilation
of the number of "tax - free property" rental units in the City for her review and information
to determine the extent of support provided by tax-paying citizens.
While Mayor Pohlmeyer empathized with Ms. Jenkin's concerns, he pointed out that, in
time, this type of project would enhance and hasten revitalization of other neighborhoods
and, in turn, provide an overall increase in the tax base. He asked staff to assemble the
requested information as it would be helpful to Council in future determinations of similar
Issues.

MITIGATION FEE ACT REPORT UPDATE; and
RESOLUTION - Making findings re unexpended funds in the Impact Fee Program

issued by the City. These fees address impacts of new development on public facilities such
as traffic, water, wastewater, storm drain, park, and/or fire impacts and also fund various
street projects such as the completion of Shasta View Drive.
I
Development Services Director Hamilton provided an overview ofthe proposed phases for
completion of Shasta View Drive explaining that a bid package is being prepared for the
construction of a portion of Shasta View Drive and will be presented to the City Council for
consideration next month. He stated that remaining portions of Shasta View Drive will be
completed as development occurs on an "as needed" basis.
Mr. Hamilton recommended that the City Council accept the Mitigation Fee Act Report

Development Services Director Hamilton recalled that General Plan Amendment
Application, GP A-6-03, and Rezoning Application, RZ-l 0-03 were considered by the City
Council at its regular meeting of November 18, 2003. Both applications will facilitate
construction ofthe State Veterans Administration residential facility (Facility) on 90 acres
ofland at Knighton Road between Chum Creek and Clover Creek. Because the area under
consideration is part of the Redding Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), Mr.
Hamilton explained it was necessary to defer formal action until approval of an amendment
to the CLUP was received from the Shasta County Airports Land Use Commission (ALUC),
which, he added, was unanimously approved on December 17, 2003.
Mr. Hamilton recommended that the resolution be adopted approving General Plan

(B-130-070 & C-050-050)
City Manager Warren related that the Redding Convention Center (Center) is more than 30

concerns. He proposed that the Center be allowed to borrow $1.5 million from the Risk
Management Fund with interest over 15 years in order to remedy the most pressing concerns.
Community Servic~s Director Niemer recalled that a 1 O-year Capital Improvement Plan for
the Center was presented to Council at its regular meeting of October 21,2003, and noted
that the proposed repairs were included in the Plan. She recommended that a resolution be

TRANSPORTATION FUNDS - Expenditure
(T -1 00-375/S-070-050-030/T -100-050)
Assistant City Manager Perry related that the Regional Transportation Planning Agency
(RTP A) met on December 9, 2003, to review a report regarding the status of State
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds for Shasta County and its cities. At that
time, STIP target fund estimates for the next five years were reviewed and RTP A suggested
1/6/2004
8
that agencies shift monies or defer listed projects to match new projections of available funds
received from the California Transportation Commission (CTC). Mr. Perry explained that
the City's projected funding over the next five years was to include the South Bonnyview
Road Widening Project estimated at $5.3 million, the Downtown Mall Improvement Project,
and Railroad Grade Separation Project estimated at $12 and $8 million respectively. In
response to the suggestion by RTP A, he advised that funds in the amount of $690,000 are
available at this time for environmental work for the Downtown Mall/Grade Separation
Projects, but because environmental documents are not reliable after five years, staff deemed
it prudent to recommend that most ofthose funds be shifted to the South Bonnyview Road
Widening Project which can be completed with available funding.
Mr. Perry pointed out that at the December meeting, RTP A also discussed an expenditure
of$2.3 million of Transportation Enhancement (TE) funds recommending allocation ofthose
funds to a regional/multi-agency bicycle facility project. Mr. Perry related that as part of that
project, RTPA will provide the City with bicycle lane access to Shasta College, allocate
$200,000 ofthe funds to leverage State Regional TE funds for bike lanes on State Route 273
from Anderson to Redding, and augment the Dana Drive to Downtown Project on State
Route 44 for those components of the project that qualify for TE funding.
I
Mr. Perry recommended that the South Bonnyview Road Widening Project
environmental/design funds be moved to the construction phase, that $590,000 in STIP
environmental funds be moved from the Downtown Mall/Grade Separation Projects to the
construction phase ofthe South Bonnyview Road Widening Project, and that expenditure of
TE funds for the aforementioned bicycle lane projects be endorsed.
Mari Marien and Marie Carr-Fitzgerald, Redding residents, urged that funds allocated for the
Downtown Mall and Railroad Grade Separation projects not be transferred to other projects
and that the environmental studies go forward as planned.
Council Member Mathena, City Council liaison to RTP A, pointed out that there was great
concern during the December R TP A meeting regarding limited allocations and they
cautioned agencies against leaving STIP funds idle because of insufficient project funding.
He assured that the two Downtown projects are still on the RTP A schedule and will not be
forgotten.
I
In response to Council Member Stegall, Mr. Perry clarified that if available funds are spent
now, STIP funding will be available at some point in the future for other projects, albeit 10
years or more. The STIP Project list will be completed in the future, but not in the time
frame originally anticipated. Mr. Perry added that $50,000 has been left in the Downtown
Mall Improvement Project and $50,000 in the Railroad Grade Separation Project to provide
a "place holder" in the list of projects authorized by R TP A for STIP funds.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Stegall, seconded by Council Member Mathena,
reallocating South Bonnyview Road Widening Project environmental/design funds to the
construction phase, shifting $590,000 State Transportation Improvement Program
environmental funds from the Downtown Mall/Grade Separation Projects to the construction
phase of the South Bonnyview Road Widening Project, and endorsing the expenditure of
Traffic Enhancement funds for the aforementioned bicycle lane projects.
The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

for South Bonnyview Road Widening Project
(B-130-070 & S-070-200)
Assistant City Manager Perry advised that a recent analysis of various fund accounts relating

year, $1,215,380 may be appropriated for street maintenance activities. In addition, the
Shasta County Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTP A) recently allocated
unexpended Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds in the amount of$868, 161 to the
City for transportation purposes resulting in a total of $2,083,541.
I

for the South Bonnyview Road Widening Project, and $100,000 utilized for preliminary
engineering for the project. He noted that the remaining $1,883,541 could be utilized for
