The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Posting - Notice of Adjournment

City Attorney that the original rezoning request no longer exists and
it would, therefore, be appropriate to close the public hearing.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Pugh that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Planning and Community Development Director Perry advised that the
Planning Commission considered a revised proposal from the applicant
and recommended rezoning the property at the southwest corner of
Benton Drive and Quartz Hill Road from "R-l" Single-Family Residential
District to "CO-20-B20-F" Commercial Office District and "Rl-Bl0"
Single-Family Residential District. Subsequent to that action, a

continued to October 7, l985. It is the recommendation of staff that, rather than continue the original hearing, this hearing be closed and the rezoning be readver-
tised, with the public notice addressing only the applicant's amend-
ment request rather than the application as originally filed. It is
also suggested that notice be sent to all owners in Lake Redding
Estates.
Mr. Perry recommended that the hearing be set for October 2l, l985,
rather than October 7, so that all Council Members would be present.

PUBLIC HEARING - re Proposed Sewer Rate Increases
(W-020-590 and W-020-590-075)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Vice Mayor Gard opened the
public hearing re proposed sewer rate increases.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memorandum to Council dated
September l3, l985, which is incorporated herein by reference. He
reviewed the proposed changes as follows:
l.
Increase in the monthly sewer service charges for single
family residential (R-l) units from $7.00 to $8.00 per
month.
2.
Increase in the sewer connection charge from $400.00/HE to
$550.00/HE. A household equivalent (HE) generally repre-
sents a wastewater discharge that is similar in volume and
strength to wastes discharged by a single family residential
unit.
3.
Increase in the front footage fee from $l2.00 to $l4.00 per
front foot. 4. Includes minor changes to cover the cost to tap various size
sewer lines. Mr. Arness submitted tabulations illustrating income and expense
records, 5-year capital outlay plan, comparable sewer service charges
for like cities, etc.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council adopt resolutions
establishing the new sewer connection charges and establishing the new
sewer service charges.
Council Member Fulton expressed the concern that this has been a bad
year for residents of Redding, having to sustain the rather large
increases in electric rates, with more to come. He suggested that the
single family increase of $l, while it is small in itself, is another
added charge for people to pay.
Mr. Arness related that the City Manager had suggested, during budget
hearings, that a rate increase should be studied. Mr. Arness said he
is comfortable with the information compiled by Bob Galusha and Jim
Gasser and feels the numbers are correct. Mr. Arness noted that rate
increases are never popular, even when they are justified.
Council Member Pugh said it is difficult to compare the City's costs
compared to other areas because it is unknown what is included in
their costs. He said the City has not subsidized such programs from
other funds. Mr. Pugh felt the method of determining charges is fair.
He said he understands the concerns about rates, but emphasized that
the Council also has a responsibility to operate a system without a
deficit.
Vice Mayor Gard pointed out that all property owners used to share
these costs through the tax structure. But now, since Proposition l3,
these costs must be passed along to the rate payers. She emphasized
that it is more important now than ever to keep the Enterprise
Accounts separate and solvent.
Council Member Demsher stated that the City has had the responsibility
of seeing that its utilities support themselves and the public has
expressed that this is a sound fiscal policy. He felt the proposal is
fair and sensible and is paying for a service the City is providing.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Pugh that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Pugh that Resolutions 85-2l4 and 85-2l5 be adopted.
Council Member Fulton asked that the resolutions be considered sepa-
rately.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Demsher that Resolutions 85-2l4 and 85-2l5 be considered separately.
The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

tion.

Waste Treatment Gasser.
TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP S-ll-85 - Rolling Hills Subdivision, Unit 7,
by Jaxon Baker
(S-l00-668)
Council was advised that the Planning Commission has granted permis-
sion to subdivide property into ll single-family lots, located
generally at the east end of Travona Street, east of Wisconsin Avenue,
described as Tentative Subdivision Map S-ll-85, Rolling Hills Subdivi-
sion, Unit 7. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph and Council
was given a copy of the conditions of approval. This was an informa-
tion item.
ANNEXATION NO. 83-6, HIGHWAY 44/ AIRPORT ROAD
(A-l50-l64)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated September l2, l985. He stated that the Local
Agency Formation Commission has approved the annexation of land in the
area of the Highway 44/Airport Road Interchange with the inclusion of
seven parcels adjacent to Old Oregon Trail and the Argyle Estates and
Forest Hills Subdivisions. He said this addition changed the annexa-
tion from an uninhabited one to an inhabited one.
Mr. Perry advised that, for the annexation to proceed, both the Shasta
County Board of Supervisors and the City Council must agree to a
revised property tax exchange agreement. He recalled that the City
Council had agreed to annex the Argyle Estates and Forest Hills
Subdivisions in l980, provided property owners formed an assessment
district to install fire hydrants and agreed to deed the mutual water
company in Forest Hills to the City.
Mr. Perry outlined the choices available to Council at this time.
Council Member Pugh questioned the fire flow requirements within the
Bella Vista Water District. Mr. Perry advised that the District has
worked with the City to build to the City's standards.
Discussion ensued regarding cost comparisons between an assessment district to install fire hydrants and the cost of providing electric service. Electric Director Lindley noted that he believes most of the customers
in that area are overhead customers and should not be too difficult to
get to. He said the cost estimates given to provide electric service
were based on underground which is more expensive.
Council Member Pugh commented that severance costs with PGandE will
have to be determined. Mr. Arness added that there is also the
question of the l2" water line.
Council Members concurred that more information is needed regarding
costs.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Pugh that Council take no action on this annexation at this time, but
instruct staff to prepare information regarding costs of an assessment
district to install fire hydrants, costs per household in the affected
area, comparison of full-service utilities, and fire ratings to
present to Council. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
RESOLUTION - re Submission of $5,000 Grant Application, Foundation for
Community Service Cable Television (FCSCT)
(T-040-350)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry advised that the
FCSCT was created to encourage the effective use of public, municipal
and educational cable access channels. Twice a year, the FCSCT awards
grants to nonprofit organizations and government agencies across
California for projects which demonstrate local uses of the cable
access channels.
Mr. Perry explained that the proposed application is requesting
$5,000, which would provide funds to purchase equipment including a
video camera, two recording decks, editor-controller, tripod and
accessories. He said this equipment would be used by City departments
to film information for the community on various programs and events
and air them on the public access channel. Mr. Perry said he antici-
pates that this equipment will be turned over to the public access
channel in the future.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council adopt a resolution
authorizing submission of a grant application to FCSCT.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member
Demsher that Resolution No. 85-2l6 be adopted, a resolution of the
City Council of the City of Redding authorizing the filing of an
application with the Foundation for Community Service Cable Television
for a grant under the terms of the Cable Access Equipment Resource
Project for the acquisition of a video camera and portapak system, and
authorizing the City Manager to sign said grant application.

Financing
(E-l20-250)
It is the recommendation of the City Attorney that Council introduce
an ordinance which provides the legal basis for the Transmission
Agency of Northern California (TANC) to issue debt in the preliminary
amount not to exceed $20,000,000. This figure was arrived at by
figuring the cost to retire a $3,500,000 promissory note as well as
the cost to move forward with the preliminary planning for the con-
struction of a transmission line out of the Northwest.
Council Member Demsher offered Ordinance No. l742 for first reading,
an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding authorizing
the Transmission Agency of Northern California to issue revenue bonds,
notes and other evidences of indebtedness.

BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR
Downtown Mall
(M-0l0-200)
Vi Klaseen, 595 Mary Street, said she has a concern about what is
happening to the Downtown Mall (merchants moving to other shopping
centers), and the excessive amount of commercial property in the City.
She also felt that the construction of the new City Hall should be
placed where it will keep the City together. Ms. Klaseen said it is
essential that we do not let the downtown die away.
Council Member Pugh agreed with Ms. Klaseen's comments and stated that
the City has been working with the Mall representatives. He said a
consultant has been hired by the Mall to help solidify the merchants,
and the City is working with them the best it can to help that situa-
tion. Mr. Pugh also pointed out that when land is suited for commer-
cial and nothing else, it is difficult to deny commercial development.
Ms. Gard commented that the efforts for the performing arts center
should also create some stability downtown.
Mr. Perry pointed out that when Enterprise was annexed, there was
already more commercial there than in downtown Redding. He also
stated that the downtown merchants are taking the lead right now in
trying to put together a program. He also noted that they are looking
at the entire business district as a whole, which is good.
Permit for Mobile Food Wagon
(L-070-l00)
Bob Soule, 2ll3 Dove Street, stated that he and his son own property next to Enterprise High School where they have had a problem with a mobile kitchen in that area. He said he understands that a meeting
was held by the owners of the mobile unit and City staff and that the owners plan to ask Council for a permit to operate in that location.
Mr. Soule expressed his opposition to the issuance of any permit to
these people if they should request one.
Deputy City Attorney McNeill advised that they have a business license
but do not have the necessary permits. He said their request for a
permit is coming before Council on October 7, l985.
OTHER BUSINESS
Waste Water Treatment Plant
(W-0l0-450)
Ms. Gard referred to a letter from Jerry Hanlon regarding the contro-
versy over the "sphere of influence" and the proposed waste water
treatment plant. She noted that he should be given a copy of the
reply from the City of Anderson on this subject, in which they state
that they are not interested in the site.
Ms. Gard was advised that Mr. Hanlon has been sent copies of the
letters from the City of Anderson.
Mr. Pugh noted that this site was discussed at the Regional Sewer
meetings.
Viacom Cablevision
(T-040-050 and T-040-300)
Council Member Pugh referred to a letter from the Shasta Center
Development Corporation which states that the City Planning Commission
and Viacom have refused to carry the new television station, KCPM on
cable. Mr. Pugh stated that due to recent court rulings, cable
companies no longer have to carry new television stations. He also
noted that the Planning Commission has no role in determining which
stations Viacom will carry.
Vice Mayor Gard emphasized that the Shasta Center needs a written
response clarifying this matter.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, at the hour of 8:00 P.M., Vice Mayor
Gard declared the meeting adjourned to ll:45 A.M., September 30, l985,
in the City Council Chambers. This meeting is for the purpose of

actions on resolutions for the League of California Cities Annual
Conference.
