PUBLIC HEARING - re Public Convenience and Necessity to Allow Eight
Additional Taxi Permits for Redding Yellow Cab
(T-l00-500)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the public
hearing re public convenience and necessity to allow eight additional
taxi permits for Redding Yellow Cab.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
City Clerk Nichols advised that a protest was received from James
Fennell of the ABC Cab Company. Mr. Fennel's letter pointed out that
Redding Yellow Cab has previously stated there is no need for addi-
tional permits and asked that their request be denied.
A memo from the City Attorney addressed the question of public conve-
nience and necessity and noted that to a certain extent the free
market approach is a valid basis; however, in a community this size,
he felt an exorbitant number of permits really would result in permits
not being utilized. He submitted a copy of Section 6.32.030 from the
Redding Municipal Code regarding the issuance of taxicab permits.
Nancee Brazina, 2494 Beverly Drive, President of Redding Yellow Cab,
said she wants to remain competitive and that is why she is requesting
the additional permits. She said they are running all four cabs at
this time and there is still waiting time, which she would like to
reduce.
Richard Radford, a taxi driver for ABC Cab Company, asked Council if
he has the right to park on the yellow curb at the Greyhound bus
depot. He indicated that Redding Yellow Cab always has a cab sta-
tioned there and he wondered if they had the exclusive right to be
there.
There was some discussion regarding this issue and Mayor Fulton
pointed out that it is not germane to the request for additional taxi
permits. He suggested that Mr. Radford contact the City Clerk's
office to determine the location of taxi stands.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
Council Member Gard agreed that Redding does not need 20 cabs, but 8
to l0 cabs might make sense. She added that it takes more permits
than cabs in order to keep a certain number on the street, due to
"down time." She suggested issuing two additional permits to give
each company six permits.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen that two additional taxicab permits be approved for the
Redding Yellow Cab Company, bringing their total to six. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Gard requested that the City Attorney contact ABC Cab
Company about taxi stand permits.

missions and/or committees:

ture.

AWARD OF BID - Bid Schedule No. l767, Douglas Fir Poles
(B-050-l00)
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that Bid Schedule No.
l767, douglas fir poles, be awarded to the second low evaluated
bidder, J. H. Baxter Company, for the contract period from July l,
l986, through June 30, l987.
Engineering Manager Russell explained that the Electric Department has
evaluated the bids received for this product and has determined that
the second low bidder should be awarded the contract. He explained
that the reason Niedermeyer-Martin was not awarded the contract is
because the preserving process is not the same as that specified by
the City. Mr. Russell also pointed out that the process specified by
Niedermeyer-Martin causes the poles to be more slippery and they can
be darker and unsightly. He said they are not normally used in this
climate because they ooze and cause safety problems.
Council Member Johannessen said the reason he wanted to discuss this
award of bid is because the price is 30% higher from J. H. Baxter
Company. He also expressed the concern that a viable product is
possibly being overlooked. Discussion ensued regarding the City's
requirements for preserving methods for douglas fir poles.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Dahl
that Bid Schedule No. l767, douglas fir poles, be awarded to J. H.
Baxter Company, for the contract period from July l, l986, through
June 30, l987. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Dahl said he can appreciate Mr. Johannessen's concerns
but he sees the importance of the City's specifications for this type
of commodity.
RESOLUTION - re Letter Agreement with Western Area Power Adminis-
tration re Real Time Scheduling
(E-l20-900)
Resources Manager Coleman reviewed the Electric Director's memorandum
to Council dated June ll, l986, which is incorporated herein by
reference. He advised that the City's existing power purchase con-
tract with the Western Area Power Administration provides up to ll6
megawatts of electrical power to the City. Mr. Coleman explained that
since l976, the City has pursued a power resource development plan to
help minimize the need for supplemental power purchases from other
utilities (PGandE).
Mr. Coleman explained that the proposed Letter Agreement with Western
sets forth concepts for negotiation for long-term agreements to
implement real-time scheduling of City resources and purchases from
Western, in order to increase the City's ability to optimize its power
production.
It is the recommendation of the Electric Department that Council adopt
a resolution which approves the Letter Agreement with Western and
authorizes the City Manager to sign the Agreement.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Dahl
that Resolution No. 86-l44 be adopted, a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Redding approving Letter Agreement between the
City of Redding and the Western Area Power Administration regarding
development of contract amendments necessary to implement real-time
scheduling of power by the City, and authorizing the City Manager to
sign same.

RESOLUTION - Surrendering Preliminary Permit for Cottonwood Power
Project FERC #80l8
(E-l20-070-l70)
Resources Manager Coleman reviewed the Electric Director's memorandum
to Council dated June ll, l986, which is incorporated herein by
reference. He stated that the City's preliminary permit for the
Cottonwood Dams Project expired on January 3l, l985. He said the City
applied for and received a second preliminary permit for the project
on October l5, l985; however, in August of l985, the Corps of Engi-
neers announced its withdrawal from development of the dams.
Mr. Coleman further explained that in April of l986, the Department of
Water Resources announced it would study the feasibility of using four
smaller dams, and on May 22, the City filed applications for
preliminary permits for hydroelectric development on each of the four
dams. He indicated, however, that Tehama County filed their applica-
tions two hours earlier than the City's. Mr. Coleman indicated that
one of the four dam projects (Hulen Dam) was determined by FERC to be
in the original boundaries of the Cottonwood Project and therefore,
the City was granted a preliminary permit for the Hulen Dam project. This permit expires in October of l988.
Mr. Coleman stated that the Hulen Project will generate only approxi-
mately 4 megawatts of power and construction of approximately 32 miles
of transmission line would be necessary to transmit power to the
City's distribution system.
The Electric Department recommends that the City surrender its prelim-
inary permit application for the Cottonwood Dams Project, FERC #80l8,
and requests that the Council adopt a resolution authorizing this
action.
Mr. Coleman advised that the Electric Department will continue to
monitor the Department of Water Resource's development of the
Cottonwood Creek Drainage Basin and will recommend to the City Council
the filing of a new preliminary permit application if and when such
filing becomes timely.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Dahl
that Resolution No. 86-l45 be adopted, a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Redding approving the surrender of the City's
preliminary permit on the Cottonwood Dams Project.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Dahl, Gard, Johannessen and Fulton
