The Vote: Unanimous Ayes City Attorney Hays advised that there are easements to be acquired for the development of sewer lines, and since not all participants have agreed to the purchase of these easements, it is recommended that Council authorize the institution of a condemnation action. He said this evening is the time for the hearing of public convenience and necessity, and pointed out that Council has received letters of protest from Mr. Linggi and Mr. Peters. Steve Peters (owner of Parcel 4l), 7l26 W. Libby, Peoria, Arizona, said his concern is with the amount of the appraisal for the easement. In response to an inquiry from Council Member Fulton, the Engineer of Work Bernie Bryson, advised that the proposed sewer line does not run along a straight line on Mr. Peters' property because it is in the bottom of a ravine. He said the line was drawn this way in order to serve the greatest percentage of Mr. Peters' parcel and parcels to the east. Mr. Peters said he would like to see the location of the line changed to run parallel to his south property line; and, that the appraisal of the easement be raised. Mr. Bryson emphasized that while a line running parallel with his south property line could still serve all of Mr. Peters' property, the extreme depth of cuts and the added cost to the Peters' property is the reason the proposed route was selected. City Attorney Hays pointed out that the question of value is not before Council this evening, but whether the easements are properly placed. He did point out that land in the bottom of a ravine is much less valuable than flat land. Mr. Bryson reiterated that their objective was to serve the largest per-centage of the parcels but it was not their intention to serve ½ acre lots on a given parcel at this time. He said that would be an expense borne by the developer when the property is subdivided. Mr. Bryson also pointed out that the property where the easement is located on Mr. Peters' property is unbuildable due to the terrain. Council Member Demsher stated that he feels the objections have been adequately addressed by the Engineer and that the assessments are fair. Resolution - of Public Convenience and Necessity MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Gard that Resolution No. 85-24 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding finding that the public convenience and necessity require the acquisition of certain real property interests for public improvements, to-wit: easements for the Ridgewood Sewer Assessment District (Mr. Carol Linggi, Robert Whitson, Michael Lawson, Stephen Peters, Linda Sue Dunster, and Stephen and Pamela Slatter).

The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received and the Mayor ascertained that there were no protests from the floor. Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January l6, l985, and the Water Management Plan dated August, l984, which are incorporated herein by reference. He explained that the California Legislature has approved Assembly Bill No. 797, the Water Management Planning Act, under which every urban water supplier providing water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 customers is required to prepare a Water Management Plan prior to December l985. The intent of the Legislature was to develop a plan that would achieve conservation and efficient use of water. Mr. Arness reviewed the Water Management Plan and explained that the plan includes estimates of past, present, and future levels of water consumption; the evaluation of wastewater reclamation; exchanges or transfers of water from other agencies; and descriptions of current and proposed water conservation programs. It is the recommendation of the Public Works Director that a resolu-tion be adopted approving the Water Management Plan. Council Member Gard complimented the authors of the report and said it was extremely well-written, concise, and easy to read. Mr. Arness said the report was written by a student from the University of Davis, Dan Weidlein, under the supervision of Bob Galusha. Resolution MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Gard that Resolution No. 85-25 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding adopting the Water Management Plan prepared by the Water Division.

PUBLIC HEARING - re Public Convenience and Necessity for Taxicab Owner's Permit, by Richard & Robert Riley (T-l00-500) The hour of 7:30 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the public hearing re Public Convenience and Necessity for Taxicab Owner's Permit, by Richard & Robert Riley. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received. City Attorney Hays stated that the application for taxicab owner's permit is to provide service between Redding and Anderson by R & R Taxi of Anderson. He said this matter is before Council to determine whether this request is in the interest of the public. Nancee Brezini, owner of Redding Yellow Cab, submitted several letters of reference from customers and employees, to the City Clerk. She said she objects to the approval of this permit. Mrs. Brezini con-tends that there is not sufficient business in Redding to keep two cab companies busy and said that the issuance of this permit would result in the demise of both companies. She said Redding Yellow Cab is trying to upgrade its service and felt that they can service Redding properly. Council Member Gard asked Mrs. Brezini how many calls they get per week between Redding and Anderson. Mrs. Brezini advised that possibly ten to twenty calls, or more, are received weekly. In response to an inquiry from Council Member Gard, Mrs. Brezini advised that the fare between Anderson and Redding is approximately $l7.00, one way. Council Member Fulton said it is his understanding that this applica-tion is only to transport people from Anderson to Redding. City Attorney Hays concurred with this understanding and said they also want to bring passengers back to Anderson. Council Member Fulton asked if the permit could be conditioned to restrict them from working in Redding except to transport people from Anderson and back again. The City Attorney advised that Council may limit the permit. Robert Riley, l730 Bruce Drive, said he just wants to pick up people in Redding who come to Redding from Anderson on a round-trip advance--pay. Gary Collier, 468 Rio Drive, a cab driver for Redding Yellow Cab, said he has been a cab driver for four years. He agreed that Redding can only handle one cab company. Mr. Collier said they are very willing to take passengers to Anderson. Gary Murphy, 3702 Laurel, Central Valley, a cab driver for Redding Yellow Cab, said he doesn't believe Mr. Riley needs a permit to transport round-trip passengers. He also noted that running two companies in Redding may cause radio disfunctions or "jumping calls." Mr. Riley advised Council that he uses C.B. radios in his cabs and the only calls he gets are through his dispatcher. Robert Blasey, l259 N. Market, a cab driver for Redding Yellow Cab, said their business is very slow as it is. He didn't see what would keep Mr. Riley from coming to Redding when business is slow in Anderson. Joe Costella, 3702 Laurel, Central Valley, a cab driver for Redding Yellow Cab, asked how a restricted permit would be enforced. Ray Piles, 6532 Edward Road, Mountain Gate, a cab driver for Redding Yellow Cab, said the City cannot support two cab companies. He said the permit should be limited to only picking up and delivering back to Anderson. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Gard that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes City Attorney Hays pointed out that it is incumbent upon the applicant to demonstrate that there is a public need. MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton that the application for Taxicab Owner's Permit, by Richard & Robert Riley, be denied. This motion died for lack of a second. Council Members emphasized that more information is needed that would be useful in making a decision, such as, the number of trips in a two week period, the number of round-trips, and the char-acter of those requests. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Gard that the public hearing be re-opened concerning the application for Taxicab Owner's Permit, by Richard & Robert Riley, and continued to 7:30 P.M., February 4, l985, so that the applicant can provide more specific information to substantiate the request. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Demsher, Kirkpatrick, and Gard Noes: Council Members - Fulton Absent: Council Members - Pugh PROPOSED ELECTRIC UTILITY RATE AND SPECIAL SERVICE CHARGE INCREASES (E-090-l00) Electric Director Lindley reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January l8, l985, which is incorporated herein by reference. He explained that on October 7, l982, the Western Area Power Administration (Western) of the U.S. Department of Energy, from which the City buys the bulk of its power, announced a series of rate increases which became effective in five sepa-rate steps beginning in May, l983, and ending in October, l986. He said the cost to the City of Redding for power purchased from Western will increase over 300% during this time period. Mr. Lindley stated that after evaluating the impacts of the Western rate increases to the City's electric utility revenue requirements, it is his recommendation that increases in electric utility rates be approved to begin February 5, l985, and September 3, l985. Council was given copies of the current and proposed rate schedules for all classes of City of Redding electric utility customers, the proposed sched-ule of special service charges, as well as descriptive and comparative informa-tion in tabular and graphical form. Mr. Lindley explained that the proposed schedule of special service charges will result in an increased cost to those customers who desire special services and will provide for a more equitable distribution of costs. Council Member Demsher commented that it is certainly clear that the rate increase is necessary. Council Member Gard said she feels very comfortable with this type of long-term financial planning in advance. Council Members complimented the Electric Department on the report and Mr. Lindley advised that Rick Coleman is responsible for its preparation. Mr. Lindley indicated that a resolution approving this proposed rate increase will come before Council on February 4, l985. This was an information item and no action was required. ELECTRIC UTILITY PROPOSED CHANGES IN ELECTRIC SERVICE POLICY (E-090) Electric Director Lindley reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January l8, l985, which is incorporated herein by reference. He stated that, in an effort to reduce the impact of the proposed electric utility rate increases on City customers, the Electric Department has completed a detailed review and reorganization of the City's Electric Service Policy. During this review, he said, staff identified several additional areas of responsibil-ity which could be shifted from the City to the developer/contractor and thereby reduce the development cost which is currently passed to Electric Utility customers in the rate base. Mr. Lindley reviewed the proposed changes. He submitted copies of the present Electric Service Policy and the proposed Electric Service Policy for information. Mr. Lindley advised that a resolution is proposed for the next Council meeting to adopt this plan. In response to an inquiry from Council Member Demsher, Mr. Lindley advised that a copy of this proposal was delivered to the Builders Exchange for their review. He said he is aware of at least one contract who has asked that a public hearing be held. Council Members concurred that a public hearing should be scheduled to give everyone the opportunity to comment on the proposal. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Fulton that a public hearing be set for 7:30 P.M., February l9, l985, to consider the proposed changes in the Electric Service Policy. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes DRAFT CABLE T.V. ORDINANCE AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT (T-040-050) Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January l8, l985. He explained that the draft cable ordinance was prepared by Computran Systems Corporation, which was reviewed by the law firm of McDonough, Holland, and Allen and the City's Cable T.V. Committee. Mr. Perry noted that a memo was received from Viacom which takes exception to 62 provisions of the draft ordinance. He suggested that in order to not further delay the renewal process, the ordinance be offered for first reading and prior to adoption, staff will submit its responses to these concerns. Mr. Perry explained that the needs assessment was based on a series of interviews in the community and what is occurring elsewhere in order to evaluate the responsiveness of Viacom's proposal to community needs. Marcia Shapiro, of Computran Systems Corporation, reviewed the draft ordinance which she prepared. Mr. Perry explained that the ordinance was written for both the franchise renewal process and/or a new franchise. John Velie, of Computran Systems Corporation, explained that the Community Needs Assessment which he prepared, analyzes the cable television service provided by Viacom as it relates to Redding's needs. He said it also determines what kind of cable system the City wants in the future. Mr. Velie outlined the major findings of the report. In response to an inquiry from Mayor Kirkpatrick, Mr. Perry advised that staff has not yet met with Viacom representatives regarding their concerns. Jim Fisher, Attorney for Viacom, said he has not received a copy of the needs assessment and recent changes made in the draft ordinance were handed to him this evening by Ms. Shapiro. He said they would like the oppor-tunity to discuss their concerns. Council Member Demsher commented that he feels a meeting should be held with Viacom representatives and staff to try to resolve as many issues as possible before the first reading of the ordinance. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Gard instructing staff to meet with representatives of Viacom to resolve as many concerns as possible prior to the first reading of the Cable T.V. ordi-nance.
