ORDINANCE - Amendment of the Municipal Code Pertaining to Smoking in
the Downtown Mall
(C-ll0-l00 and M-0l0-200)
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter that the full reading of Ordinance No. l775 be waived, and the
City Attorney be instructed to read the full title. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
David Rose, 3358 Flintwood Way, said he was not aware of this proposed
ordinance to ban smoking in certain areas of the Downtown Mall until
last Friday. He pointed out that he is a merchant in the mall and is
opposed to the proposed ordinance. Mr. Rose said he understands the
reason why some merchants have requested the ordinance, but feels it
will not take care of the real problem which is loitering and
vagrancy. He emphasized that by this ordinance, some people will be
penalized for something that the City has failed to take care of, and
felt it will simply shift the problem from this location to another
location in the mall.
In response to an inquiry from Council Member Carter, City Attorney
Hays advised that this ordinance deals only with the areas in and
adjacent to Pioneer Plaza and Centennial Plaza. He added that these
areas are right outside Mr. Rose's business.
Council Member Gard emphasized that it is her feeling that the pro-
posed ordinance is not to control a loitering problem, and if it is,
the Council needs to deal with that matter again. She said, as far as
she is concerned, the proposed ordinance deals with a health issue.
Ms. Gard noted that it is unfortunate that both sides were not repre-
sented when the ordinance was introduced. She pointed out that many
people are unable to eat their lunches in areas where smoking is
occurring.
Mr. Rose said it is his understanding that the merchants feel this is
going to clean up loitering. He noted that the mall has a cool,
park-like atmosphere which attracts vagrants.
Council Member Carter stressed that the loitering problem needs to be
dealt with in another way and it may be time for the City to again
meet with merchants and discuss this. He concurred that there is a
problem.
Ms. Gard suggested that Council hold a public hearing to consider the
smoking prohibition and that everyone who owns a business in the
Downtown Mall, be notified.
City Attorney Hays commented that the request was received from
General Services Director Masingale from the Downtown Mall Asso-
ciation, and added that if there is no unified voice from the Mall, it
is difficult to accomplish anything.
Vice Mayor Dahl emphasized that it was Council's understanding that
this was something that the merchants wanted and it is Council's
desire to help the merchants, not hinder them.
Mr. Rose indicated that the Association is not communicating with all
the merchants.
Council Member Carter indicated that he thought there was a consensus
of the merchants for this ordinance. He added that this is not an
anti-loitering problem as far as he knows.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter that a public hearing be set to consider an ordinance designat-
ing certain areas of the Downtown Mall as "No-Smoking" areas. The
Vote: Unanimous Ayes
ORDINANCE - re Time Limits on Redevelopment Projects

smaller communities for a portion of the discretionary funds. He
added that the City received allocations of $200,000 in l984 and
$200,000 in l985.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council adopt a resolution
authorizing the City Manager to submit an application to HUD for
$200,000 in Rental Rehabilitation Grant Funds. It is further recom-
mended that the Council adopt a Tenant Assistance Policy and Affirma-
tive Marketing Procedures necessary to qualify for the grant.

Carter that Resolution No. 86-l89 be adopted, a resolution of the City

(C-070-0l0-050)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry submitted informa-
tion, site plans and project report by the Redding Gun Club regarding
their lease of City land. He advised that the matter is scheduled for
the Planning Commission meeting of August l2, l986, for an environ-
mental impact determination on whether a negative declaration is
appropriate or if an environmental impact report should be required.
Mr. Perry noted that the material has also been referred to the Public
Works Department to evaluate the road alignment proposed by the club,
since they vary from those prepared earlier by the Public Works
Department.
This was an information item and no action was required.
ORDINANCE - re Amending Cable T.V.
(T-040-050)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry submitted his
memorandum to Council dated July 3l, l986, concerning proposed amend-
ments to the Cable T.V. ordinance. He reviewed the proposed amend-
ments and recommended that an ordinance be offered for first reading.
Council Member Gard offered Ordinance No. l778 for first reading, an
ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Chapter
6.40 of the Redding Municipal Code pertaining to the granting of
franchises for Cable Communications systems by amending Sections
thereof as set forth below.
DEVELOPMENT OF MASTER PLAN - Turtle Bay and Park Marina Drive Specific
Plan
*(C-070-250 and C-070-0l0-095)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry noted that with the
recent adoption of the budget, the Council included $25,000 for the
development of a master plan for Turtle Bay. He stated that, since a
consultant would be used for this work, it is requested that the
master plan work for Turtle Bay be made a part of the contract for the
specific plan along Park Marina Drive.
It is the recommendation of staff that the specific plan be expanded
to include the Turtle Bay area. Mr. Perry felt this will make a
better package to attract proposals and save writing another request
for proposals. A list of firms that have asked to receive the request
for proposals, was submitted to Council.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter approving the recommendation of staff as stated above. The
Vote: Unanimous Ayes

AWARD OF CONTRACT - Kutras Lake Area
(C-070-0l0-095)
City Attorney Hays advised that two proposals for appraisal of the
Kutras Lake area were received in response to the Request for Pro-
posal. He said both appraisal firms were well-qualified, and the
prices for appraisals were only $200 apart. Mr. Hays explained that
the award to Stathem-Shaw and Associates was based on time availabil-
ity and a firm completion date. A copy of the proposal was submitted
to Council.
Mr. Hays advised that the appraisal is to be done by October of this
year. He added that staff is still awaiting a firm decision from the
State of California on their position, but hoped that it would be
known possibly this month.
RESOLUTION - re Designation of the Insurance Fund as a "Restricted
Reserve" Fund
(B-050-050)
City Attorney Hays advised that regardless of the possibilities for
the City to obtain insurance or risk pooling for catastrophic losses,
it is probable that the City will continue operating under a substan-
tial self-insured retention level ($250,000 or higher) for the fore-
seeable future.
It is the recommendation of the City Attorney that a resolution be
adopted designating this retention level as a "restricted reserve" to
demonstrate the City's intention to maintain a stable reserve fund as
a buffer against liability losses. The Director of Finance concurs
with this recommendation.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter that Resolution No. 86-l90 be adopted, a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Redding designating the insurance reserve fund
as a "Restricted Reserve" fund.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Carter, Gard, and Dahl
Noes: Council Members - None
Absent: Council Members - Fulton and Johannessen
Resolution No. 86-l90 is on file in the office of the City Clerk.

BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR
(C-070-0l0-095)
Dorothy Robbins, l33 East Lake Blvd., expressed concern about the
consistent push to acquire the Park Marina Drive property. She said
the City is spending $l0,000 on appraisals, not knowing if the owner
is willing to sell. Mrs. Robbins indicated that Mr. Spade, who owns
the long-term lease on the property, told her he was not interested in
selling.
Council Member Gard said it is her feeling that there have been
indications that they would be willing to sell the property.
Council Members Dahl and Carter indicated that that issue will be
resolved when the appraisals are in.
City Attorney Hays pointed out that the appraisals will also help the
City decide if it wants to pursue acquiring the property.
Council Member Carter pointed out that there has been a tremendous
amount of dialogue about acquiring certain parcels and that is a
decision that Council will have to make at some future time. He noted
that government agencies do have the option of acquiring property by
eminent domain, according to the the U.S. Constitution.
Ms. Gard commented that the Kutras Estate owns underlying title to the
property and it remains to be seen if they are willing to sell.
Mrs. Robbins noted that it is a closed issue if someone says they
won't sell and emphasized that private property belongs to the indi-
vidual. She felt the eminent domain process is being used to erode
private property rights.
Vice Mayor Dahl explained that during this last election, this issue
was brought up over and over again and he promised to resolve it. He
said he does not propose that Council take property away from property
owners every chance it gets, but stressed that many people in this
community feel this property is very valuable and should be in the
hands of public ownership. Mr. Dahl pointed out that Council has
asked for plans and appraisals in an effort to resolve the issue.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, at the hour of 8:0l P.M., Vice Mayor
Dahl declared the meeting adjourned.
