PUBLIC COMMENT
(E-020-0 10 & E-120)
Dr. Doug Craig, Redding resident, recalled that he appeared before City Council
approximately one year ago requesting that the Mayor add his signature to the "Mayor's
Climate Protection Agreement" acknowledging global warming as an issue which must be
addressed and reversed. He pointed out that after review, the Mayor and City Council
declined to sign the document. Dr. Craig contended that the City is not aggressively pursuing
measures to alleviate global warming issues and urged the Council to sign the Agreement.
Council Members Stegall and Murray took exception to Dr. Craig's statements pointing out
that Redding Electric Utility possesses a portfolio of 68% renewable energy resources and
continues to pursue additional renewable energy resources to reduce greenhouse emissions.
They also pointed to the numerous statewide committees on which Council Members serve
that vigorously pursue reduction measures in conjunction with other cities throughout
California. They added that signing an agreement does little to address global warming
issues and further affirmed Redding's commitment to this issue through action.

PUBLIC HEARING - Agreement for the Red Light Camera Enforcement Program
(P-150-150)
The hour of7 :00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Dickerson opened the public hearing regarding
the proposed Agreement with Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc. for implementation of a Red
Light Camera Enforcement Program in Redding.
The following documents are on file in the Office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no protests were received.
Chief Moty recalled that on December 5, 2006, the City Council awarded Request for
Proposals No. 3961, Red Light Camera Enforcement Program to Redflex Traffic Systems
and authorized staff to negotiate an agreement for services. He said that while staff has
negotiated an agreement with Redflex, the California Vehicle Code requires that a public
hearing be held.
Chief Moty recommended that at the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Council
approve the agreement with RedFlex Traffic System, Inc. to install and operate the Red Light
Camera Enforcement for selected intersections within the City.
Nick Webb, representing the Injury Coalition and Shasta County Public Health, and Redding
resident Carl Arness urged approval of the Red Light Camera Enforcement Program
asserting that collisions resulting from red light violations often cause significant or
catastrophic injuries and damage, while slower speed rear-end collisions, which can result
as a product of red light camera enforcement, are far less serious. They also pointed to
statistics which demonstrated a reduction in the number of collisions as a result of red light
camera enforcement and that it is a technically superior and financially efficient method of
citing red light violators.
Michel Czehatowski and Sherry Dentz opposed the red light camera enforcement citing a
preference for police-officer-issued citations, the need for a stronger police presence in the
community, and right-to-privacy issues.
Mayor Dickerson determined that no other individual wished to address this matter and
closed the public hearing.
In response to Council Member Murray, Chief Moty explained that it is estimated that red
light cameras at an intersection can cost approximately $72,000 per year, while the cost of
stationing a police officer at an intersection twenty-four hours per day, seven days a week for
a year amounts to $300,000. Chief Moty explained that citation fees would be collected by
Shasta County, and the City (estimating a fine at $315) would receive between $75 and $100
of that amount. He said that the red light camera vendor is paid from the amount returned
to the City so the cost of the program is fully offset by revenues. Mr. Moty added that
approximately four or five intersections have been earmarked for installation of the cameras
with an agreement maximum of ten cameras. Chief Moty also pointed out that the
identification of the person operating the vehicle at the time of the violation will be
determined prior to issuance of a citation.
Ray Torres, Northern California Customer Service Manager for Redflex Traffic Systems,
explained that it was difficult to compare cities and intersections for the purposes of
projecting the amount of revenue expected from citations, or the reduction in traffic
2/612007

collisions. He stated, however, that a test performed at the Bechelli Lane/Cypress Avenue
intersection during a 12-hour period, recorded 58 blatant red light violations revealing a
serious public safety issue. Mr. Torres assured that the City will have no financial
responsibility, should operating expenses exceed fine recovery.
Council Member Jones expressed concern that revenue monies would be leaving the area.

Light Camera Enforcement Program for selected intersections within the City. The Vote:

(A-050-080 & E-050-500)
Assistant City Manager Bachman provided an update ofthe Stillwater Business Park project
advising that the environmental process is nearing completion and the purchase of the
Sanders property has been finalized. He stated that the work will be performed in phases
with the first phase including construction ofthe road, bridge, water, sewer, utilities and gas
to the property. The second phase will provide a secondary gravel access road and a second
bridge and the final phase will be paving the road at final buildout. Mr. Bachman noted that
the timeline for constructing these phases will depend on leasing and selling Park lots to
businesses. He related that the estimated total for the Project is now at $65 million which
is somewhat less than earlier anticipated but noted that as the phases are completed,
anticipated costs can more accurately be projected.

3.85 acres south of Wood acre Drive and will include playground equipment, walking trails,
a basketball court, a wall ball court, turf play area, picnic pavilion, and natural areas. He said
that Phase II completion is expected at buildout of the Rivercrest Subdivision and that the
developer, D.R. Horton, has expressed a willingness to construct Phase I of the Park through
a reimbursement agreement with the City.
Sally Riley, representing the Construction Industry Force Account Council, expressed
concern regarding construction of the Park and she urged the City Council to utilize the
public bid process rather than entering into a reimbursement agreement with the developer.
Mr. Starman explained that the reimbursement agreement is not under consideration at this
meeting, but should be presented to the City Council for consideration at the meeting of
February 20,2007.
Mr. Starman recommended that the City Council make the necessary findings and adopt the
resolution approving the use of Area tax increment funds to construct Phase I of the
Rivercrest Park.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Murray, seconded by Council Member Stegall,
adopting Resolution No. 2007-17, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding
making findings that:
1. The improvements are of benefit to the project area from which the funds are derived
or to the immediate neighborhood in which the project is located;
2. No other reasonable means of financing the improvements are available to the
community; and
3. The payment of funds for the improvements will assist in the elimination of blight
within the project area;
and approving the use of Canby- Hilltop-Cypress Redevelopment Project Area tax increment
funds tq construct Phase I of Rivercrest Park. The Vote:

INITIA nON OF ANNEXATION PROCEEDINGS, Annexation AN-I-05, Gold Hills,
adjacent to and north of Gold Hills Subdivision
(A-150-267)
Development Services Director Hamilton related that developer Jon Thomason has requested
annexation of 41 acres or property adjacent to and north of the Gold Hills Subdivision,
Annexation AN-I-OS, Gold Hills, for the purpose of receiving City sewer service to
accommodate residential development. The applicant has also requested a prezoning
designation for the property of"RS-3" Residential Single Family.
Mr. Hamilton stated that a survey was conducted of surrounding property owners, many of
whom also expressed interest in annexing to the City. He pointed out, however, that sewers
west of the area empty into the Chum Creek Sewer System, and while the parcel is entirely
within the City's sewer service area, only approximately 15 acres could be serviced by the
existing trunk facilities along Chum Creek. The remaining 25 acres lie within the Stillwater
Creek service basin earmarked for the future-planned Stillwater Sewer Trunk extension. He
noted that until the Stillwater trunk is developed, it is not possible to provide the type of
service necessary for the anticipated development of all properties in the area. For this
reason, Mr. Hamilton said, staff is urging that only the Thomason annexation request be
considered at this time.
Mr. Hamilton recommended that the City Council authorize staffto move forward with the
prezone and environmental review phase to study the proposed annexation request
emphasizing that Council is not authorizing annexation. He said that staff will return to
Council at a later date prior to commencing annexation proceedings.
2/612007
26
In response to Council Member Jones, Mr. Hamilton explained that the value of this
annexation to the City is that this piece of property will assist in completion of planned street
extensions in the area, such as Shasta View Drive.
Council Member Murray believed that property should be annexed only if it has the potential
to pay for the services that will be provided to it and/or is of benefit to the City. He favored
negotiations with the applicant and the County of Shasta to make the annexation as beneficial
to the City as possible and suggested that a covenant be attached to the annexation
postponing development until the Stillwater sewer trunk was available to the area.
Council Member Bosetti believed that extension of Shasta View Drive through the area was
of significant value to the community, particularly as a secondary ingress and egress for
residents.
I
Council Member Stegall stated that until all services in the City were at a level necessary for
all citizens, no further annexation should be made to lessen distribution of services
throughout the City.
Mayor Dickerson believed that consideration should not focus on buildout of current
properties at this time but on moving forward with an unbiased study of the proposed
annexation.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Bosetti, seconded by Council Member Jones,
authorizing staff to move forward with the pre-zone and environmental review phase for
Annexation AN-1-05, Gold Hills, adjacent to and north of the Gold Hills Subdivision, by Jon
Thomason.

Neighborhood Park
(B-130-070 & P-050-390)
Community Services Director Niemer stated that the Rivercrest Park is located at the end of
Woodacre Drive adjacent to the Rivercrest Estates Subdivision. Construction of the 6.25-
acre park will be in two phases and subdivision developer, D.R. Horton, is willing to
construct the first phase of the Park through a reimbursement agreement, to be considered
by the City Council at the meeting of February 20,2007. She stated that much of the funding
is in place but an additional $130,000 in Park Development Funds must be set aside for
Phase I construction.
I
Ms. Niemer recommended that a resolution be adopted appropriating $130,000 in Park
Development Funds to partially fund construction of the Park.
Council Member Bosetti urged that additional funding be identified to construct both Phases
of the Park as soon as possible. Ms. Niemer responded that the funds are limited and Phase
