The Vote: Unanimous Ayes APPOINTMENTS - Library Advisory Committee (B-080-600- 244) Mayor Murray recalled that the agreement between the City and County transferring ownership and operation of the New Library calls for the creation of a Library Advisory Committee to assist with governance of the Library. In addition, he said each jurisdiction will have the opportunity to appoint two representatives to the Committee and, with the concurrence of the City Council, he would appoint Patte Jelavich and Jack Thibeau. He related that Ms. Jelavich possessed a high degree of knowledge regarding library issues, and Mr. Thibeau is a Central Valley High School Student with an excellent academic background who also serves as the President of the Youth Action Council. I Redding resident Doug Bennett objected to appointing Mr. Thibeau to the Library Advisory Committee indicating that there are better-qualified individuals available to serve, and he believed that the appointment should go to an adult. Assistant City Manager Bachman pointed out that while a youth liaison was not part of the contract negotiated with Library Systems & Services, LLC (LSSI), which will be providing operations for the New Library, they are proposing to include a youth advisory committee. Council Members Dickerson, Mathena, Stegall and Pohlmeyer supported the appointment of Patte Jelavich acknowledging her expertise in library issues and her service to the community in many endeavors. However, while each applauded the accomplishments of Mr. Thibeau and his commitment and contributions to the community at such a young age, they concurred that it was critical to appoint individuals with a strong background in library and financial issues for this very important committee, and those who had been working to bring the New Library to fruition. For these reasons, they did not support the appointment of Mr. Thibeau, but recommended that each Council Member have the opportunity to submit the name of a potential appointee to the Library Advisory Committee to the Mayor, and that the second representative be appointed at the next City Council meeting. I MOTION: Made by Council Member Stegall, seconded by Council Member Mathena, appointing Patte Jelavich as one of the City's representatives to the Library Advisory Committee, and that Council Members submit names of potential appointees to the Mayor for the remaining position.

If so: the Council can direct staff to begin negotiations with LDC utilizing the p~rnmete~ as p~vi4ed in th~ Report to City <;o~l}.cil dated October 11,' 2006, in,corporated he~in by reference. 10/17/2006 226 The following individuals spoke in opposition of Levenson's development proposal citing traffic and high-density housing impacts, ongoing construction over an extended period of time, significant and long-tenn debt service which will diminish the City's debt service capacity, increased taxes to pay for infrastructure and improvements that should be borne by the developer, inflated projections of sales tax revenue and more of the same type of retail currently existing in Redding: Bill Eggert, Emily Young, Louise Zimmennan, Virginia Stevens, Jim Ceragioli, Keyin Ward, Gail Rich, and Richard Johnson.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes. GENERAL PLAN UPDATE PROCESS: and FORMATION OF A CITIZENS COMMITTEE (G-030 & B-080-600) Development Services Director Hamilton explained that in accordance with General Plan Policy CDD22B of the Community Development Element, the City is to conduct a review of its General Plan every five years for necessary revisions and to ensure that the Plan policies are relevant and current. He reported that the Planning Commission recently undertook a preliminary review of a General Plan amendment submitted by Shasta Enterprises that proposes to construct two, 96-foot-high condominium towers on North Bechelli Lane. Mr. Hamilton said that consideration ofthis project would require dramatic, fundamental amendments to the General Plan Land Use Diagram and the Community Design and Development Element. I Mr. Hamilton said it is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that the City Council initiate a review lupdate of the General Plan, appoint a citizens committee to participate in the review and provide assistance and recommendations to the Planning Commission and the City Council on potential amendments to the Plan. Mayor Murray questioned the genesis between the General Plan Review (GPR) and the Shasta Enterprises Project (SEP). He said it seemed the "tail was wagging the dog" if Council is being asked to undertake a GPR and craft amendments to suit a particular project proposal. He also questioned the need for a citizens committee to perfonn Planning Commission responsibilities. I Mr. Hamilton responded that empaneling a citizens committee to work on the GPR is an efficient use of resources and frees up the Commission to address an already-full schedule. Council Member Dickerson interjected that the Commission is asking for help. Tasking the Commission with additional duties, especially projects of this magnitude, severely compromises its ability to effectively execute the day-to-day business of the Commission. He supported appointing a citizens committee to conduct the GPR. Council agreed that the Commission's request for assistance should be honored and that the GPR must be completed prior to any consideration of the Shasta Enterprises project. 10/17/2006 I I I 227 In response to C~uncil Member Pohlmeyer, City Manager Starman said that a list of individuals who previously served on the General Plan Review will be provided to Council for potential committee appointees.

ORDINANCE - Amending Redding Municipal Code Chapter 10.40 - Unlawful Camping (P-:-150-150) Police Chief Moty expl.ainedthat recently, numerous complaints were received regarding tra~sient camps and illegal campfi,res in the Parkview Neighborhood and surrounding area. The,se il~egal campfires have resulted in ~t 'least two uncontrolled wildfires requiring suppression py the Redding Fire Department.

He ~a.id that amending the unlawful camping ordinance to charge violators with a misdemeanor for the first offense will provide police officers with the ability to ~rrest and ~emove,' if necessary, iridividimls un~awfully camping or starting campfires without a permit. . , ChiefMoty said that it is the recommendation of the City Attorney and the Police and Fire DepartmeJ?ts that the ordil}a~ce amending RMC Chapter 10.40, Unlawful Camping be offered (o~ first reading aIld that the full reading be waived. Pa~tor Dave Honey of the Good News Rescue Mission (Mission) voiced support for the ,amendment and reported that Miss.ion personnel are working hard to clean up areas frequented by transients, and co~ented on the ever-increasing homeless population.
