an agreement for one year of service in the amount of $160,120 to provide HV AC
maintenance and repair for various City facilities. Ifthis type of contract worked well, Mr.
Kersten advised that it would be reviewed and a five-year contract would be developed and

circulated for bid. He explained that there is not sufficient time to hire another HV AC
technician or prepare and circulate bid documents for a contractor with the hot summer
months having arrived. In light of this dilemma, he pointed out that Redding Municipal
Code Section 4.20.120 allows the City Council to authorize a contract for service without
previous publication or posting a notice inviting bids if the service is of peculiar or
specialized nature and/or for emergency services.
Mr. Kersten recommended adoption of a resolution authorizing single-source procurement
and approving a one-year agreement with Cal-Air to provide HV AC maintenance and repairs
for various City facilities at a fixed amount of $160,120.
In response to Council Member Cibula, Mr. Kersten explained that after discussions with
local contractors it was understood that a reasonable amount of time must be provided for
a fixed rate contract to allow the contractor an opportunity to amortize costs. He related that
since February, the City has expended $89,000 on HV AC maintenance and that preparation,
circulation, and award of bid could take another three to four months.
I
Sally Riley, Construction Industry Force Account Council (CIF AC), opposed approval ofthe
agreement with Cal-Air and urged the City Council to utilize the bid process. She
maintained that after speaking with contractors in the area, there was distinct interest in
providing the work for the time allotted. She did not agree that the work constituted a
"specialty" craft or was an emergency as set forth in the Redding Municipal Code and the
agreement should be part of the bid process with perhaps a six-month contract.
Mayor Pohlmeyer pointed out that the City utilizes the competitive process as a best business
practice, but limited exceptions do occur and valuable time has been lost for this work.
Council Member Cibula expressed concern that discussions were not made with other
companies regarding shorter contract terms and that the bid process would not be utilized for
another year. He asked for other alternatives.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Kight, seconded by Council Member Mathena,
adopting Resolution No. 2004-100, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding
approving and authorizing the Support Services Director to execute a contract with Cal-Air
to provide heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HV AC) maintenance and repair for
various City facilities for a one-year term in the amount of$160,120. The Vote:

LICENSE AGREEMENT AND PERMIT FOR COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES - Allegiant
Air
(A-090-100-020)
Support Services Director Kersten recalled that a press conference was held recently in
anticipation ofthe approval of the License Agreement and Permit for Commercial Activities
with Allegiant Air to provide airline passenger service from Redding Municipal Airport to
Las Vegas, Nevada for a one-year term. He stated that the proposed fare for one way will
be $79 with a cap of $129, and the anticipated revenues to the City will be approximately.
$125,000 annually. He advised that the new service will require modification to the
passenger screening room and holding area to accommodate additional passengers in the
amount of $45,000.
Mr. Kersten recommended approval ofthe License Agreement and Permit for Commercial
Activities with Allegiant Air for a term of one year.
I
Council Member Cibula expressed concern that there was no language to financially protect
the City should Allegiant Air discontinue service in Redding during the term of the
Agreement. Mr. Kersten responded that language was under consideration to provide some
reimbursement.
Council Member Cibula suggested that the $70,000 in matching funds provided by the City
for promotion of Allegiant Air include promotion ofthe Redding Municipal Airport. Mr.
Kersten explained that the primary function of the advertising is to announce the new air
service, but it will obviously include the City and the Airport as well.

RESOLUTION - Rescinding Resolution No 2003-142 and adopting amended Administrative
Guidelines for the Calculation and Determination of Development Impact Fees
(F-205-600)
City Manager Warren recalled that earlier this year the City Council asked staff to provide
methodology to allow the transfer of certain Traffic Impact Fee credits from one property to
another under specific and limited circumstances. The City Council also appointed
committees with representatives from the building industry to provide input regarding
implementation of the Traffic Impact Fee Program to be effective on July 17, 2004. He
stated that they reviewed more equitable means of applying the fee structure to the.
development community and provided recommendations.
Mr. Warren recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution amending the
"Administrative Guidelines" to allow transfer of certain Traffic Impact fees between
properties under certain conditions. He also recommended that staffbe directed to establish
a "schedule of uses" for Traffic Impact Fees to divide Commercial uses into high, medium,
or low retail rate categories and Office uses into General Office and Medical/Dental Office
categories (effective July 1, 2005) to be imposed on a more equitable basis.

ORDINANCE - Adding Chapter 4.23 (Debarment'ofContractors), to Title 4 of the Redding
Municipal Code
(B-050)
City Attorney Fuller provided highlights of the Report to City Council dated June 4,2004,
explaining that the ordinance outlines procedures that would allow the City to prohibit
persons from submitting bids or proposals for City contracts where such persons have been
determined to lack the necessary qualifications, fitness, capacity, integrity, and
trustworthiness to perform City contracts and includes the hearing and appellate processes.
I
Mr. Fuller related that during investigation of other cities utilizing debarment proceedings,
it was discovered that this type of ordinance proved helpful in resolving problems with
various contractors rather than forcing application of debarment proceedings.

Chapter 4.23 (Debarment of contractors) to Title 4 (Revenue and Finance) of the Redding
Municipal Code. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
