WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
Letter from Richard Guy Paulson, Caterer at Civic Auditorium - re
Vulcan Tour's Authorization to Sell Beer and Wine at Civic Auditorium
(A-ll0-l00 and C-050-050)
A letter was received from Richard Guy Paulson, Caterer at the Redding
Civic Auditorium objecting to the Vulcan Tour's permission by the City
Council to sell beer and wine at the Civic Auditorium. He said these
requests to sell beer and wine at the Auditorium have been refused in
the past as well as requests by other organizations to do their own
catering.
Auditorium Director Montgomery advised that it is his interpretation
of the contract that Mr. Paulson has full rights for the sale of food
and beverages both inside and outside the Auditorium grounds.
Council Member Carter noted that in April, the Jazz Festival served
food and beverages in the parking lot of the Auditorium. Mr. Mont-
gomery explained that was in the area considered to be within the
Redding Rodeo Association grounds.
Council Member Gard noted that this is a difficult situation, however,
it is extremely important that the City have a caterer at the Audi-
torium.
Council Member Johannessen commented that he is very frustrated that
the City has a Civic Auditorium that the public is paying for, yet the
City cannot use it for its own activities such as the Centennial
kick-off dinner.
Mr. Montgomery emphasized that the convention business is very lucra-
tive to the businesses in Redding and it is essential to have a
caterer that is reliable and has the equipment to serve formal din-
ners. He also pointed out that if someone else is allowed to serve in
the Auditorium, this eliminates the City's percentage of the sales.
Mayor Fulton pointed out that any organization has the right to use
the Auditorium, as long as they go by the established rules.
Council Member Johannessen felt the contract should have a provision
to allow the City to use the Auditorium without use of the caterer.
City Attorney Hays advised that the previous catering contract with
KATO had provisions for exclusive rights and contained a definition of
the "Auditorium". He stated that the present contract with Mr.
Paulson did not carry over that wording. Mr. Hays pointed out that
the area being used by the Vulcan Tour is removed from the structure
itself.
Council Member Dahl emphasized that the issue at hand is how to
interpret the contract. He felt that since Council did give the
Vulcan Tour the right to sell beer and wine, it should not reverse that action. He suggested that some language be added to the contract
so that this doesn't happen again.
Mr. Hays stated that by the date of expiration in l987, Council will
probably have a recommendation from the Tourism and Convention Commis-
sion which will result in a substantially different contract.
With the concurrence of Council, Mayor Fulton sustained the original
action to approve the request of the Vulcan Tour.
Richard Paulson addressed Council and asked that Council take this
into consideration in the future and that some guidelines can be
established so that he knows where he stands.
Council Member Carter thanked Mr. Paulson for his comments and said he
wishes Council could have gotten his input before this decision was
made.

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - re Findings of Overcrowding for Shasta Lake
Union Elementary School District
(L-0l0-l70)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the con-
tinued public hearing re findings of overcrowding for Shasta Lake
Union Elementary School District.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Posting - Notice of Continued Public Hearing
Planning and Community Development Director Perry advised that at the conclusion of the public hearing on September 2, l986, staff was asked
to provide additional information regarding the State law pertaining
the school impact fees, the Leroy Green law, and the use of lottery
funds. Council was given a copy of the staff report with school
district findings presented at the last meeting, which is incorporated
herein by reference.
It is the opinion of staff that the district meets the criteria
established by the City, and it is recommended that a resolution be
adopted establishing these fees.
Archer Pugh, l300 West Street, representing Knighten Construction,
said he submitted a letter to Council Members with some recalcula-
tions. He emphasized the policy of the City regarding certified
capacity. Mr. Pugh said that when this district was certi-fied as
overcrowded in l982, the fees were based on purchased port-ables but
the buildings were actually leased. He said the students occupying
these portables were then used in the districts calcula-tions for
overcrowding. Mr. Pugh said that Council cannot, under the evidence
here, find that there is overcrowding. Mr. Pugh asked that Council
take a hard look at the possibility of refunding these fees. He said
the funds the district has collected have been spent for lease pay-
ments and this budget short--fall should not be the problem of the
developers now.
Alan Swanson, l330 West Street, representing the district, said if
Council is going to operate under the State certified capacity fig-
ures, then it must go by the criteria adopted by the City in l984. He
said these guidelines say that leased portables shall not be used to
determine how many children the school can have. He said none of the
leased portables are included in determining certified capacity and
noted that the leases could be cancelled at any time. Mr. Swanson
emphasized that the district is overcrowded today under the guidelines
adopted by the City of Redding.
Helen Fisher, 3304-48 Shasta Dam Blvd., Central Valley, President of
the Governing Board of the Shasta Lake Union School District, pointed
out that the new Council Members serve the students in the Shasta Lake
Union School District who reside in the City of Redding. She noted
that the State law is very difficult to understand and it is very
difficult for school trustees to predict how many students will enroll
in the fall. They must always work with projected figures. Ms.
Fisher said they have worked hard to make their low wealth district
one of the finest in Shasta County. Ms. Fisher said she resents the
prolonged interrogation as to the expenditure of mitigation fees.
Ms. Fisher stated that their Board members do not receive any compen-
sation and their only interest is to serve the children who come to
learn in their district. She asked that the enabling resolution be
adopted tonight.
Dean Dennett, 2246 Gold Street, County Superintendent of Schools, said
it is inappropriate for the Council to take into consideration legis-
lation that may take effect in January. He said he considered the
information submitted by the Shasta Lake Union School District to be
factual and accurate, and therefore concurred with the findings of the
district that it is overcrowded. Mr. Dennett stressed that he does
not give blanket approval to all school districts and has on occasion
indicated that he disapproves. He said the portable buildings are not
considered as district property and the question he has is whether or
not the law allows districts to use these in their calculations. Mr.
Dennett said in his opinion, it clearly does.
In response to an inquiry from Council Member Johannessen, Mr. Dennett
said he feels the district is overcrowded according to the City's
guidelines.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Dahl
that Resolution No. 86-249 be adopted, a resolution of the City

Elementary School District.

PUBLIC HEARING - re Proposed Ordinance No. l775 re Prohibiting Smoking
in Certain Areas of the Downtown Mall
(M-0l0-200 and C-ll0-l00)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the public
hearing re proposed smoking prohibition in certain areas of the
Downtown Mall.
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 Attorney Hays submitted a proposed ordinance which establishes a
smoking prohibition in selected areas of the Downtown Mall, specif-
ically those seating areas immediately adjacent to the Centen-nial and
Pioneer Plazas. He explained that this ordinance was offered for
first reading on July 2l, l986; however, the matter was subsequently
set for public hearing so that businesses in the Downtown Mall could
be notified of this proposal.
Council Member Johannessen commented that this proposal takes away all
the seating areas in the mall where people could sit and have a
cigarette. Mr. Hays noted that there is an area south of Pioneer
Plaza which would not be included.
Council Member Dahl asked if this proposal is a health issue or a
maintenance issue. Mr. Hays advised that it is his understanding that
the proposal stems from maintenance and cleaning problems in the area.
David Rose, 3358 Clintwood Way, a businessman in the Downtown Mall,
said he attempted to clarify the origination of this proposal with
members of the Downtown Mall Association and no one seems to know who
was behind the petition. He said he has a list of l3 businesses near
his store which are against the smoking ban. Mr. Rose felt the ban
will not solve the problems and will jeopardize business even further
in the Downtown Mall.
In response to an inquiry from Council Member Johannessen, Mr. Rose
said there is some smoking litter in the area; however, he doesn't see that as a serious problem.
George Santilena, 2l59 East Street, felt this is opening up a can of
worms. He felt there are enough problems in the Downtown Mall already
and this would be another negative for the Mall. Mr. Santilena asked
who will police the ordinance and added that he is opposed to any
mandatory ordinance being imposed in this area.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Carter that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Carter commented that there would be an enforcement
problem.
Council Member Dahl did not feel this would be a solution to the
cleaning problem in the mall.
It was the consensus of Council that the proposed ordinance should not
be adopted.

architect's estimate for construction is $4l9,000. Mr. Perry listed
the options available to Council.
It is the recommendation of staff that the bid be awarded to Donald
Gallino, Inc. He said the bids are higher than estimated, however
staff feels the plans are appropriate for the building, that a sub-
stantial investment has already been made, and the building should be
completed. Mr. Perry noted that a supplemental appropriation will be
required at a later date.

estimate did not really fit the project. He felt the bids were
appropriate as submitted and felt the project could be completed in

concurs, a hearing will be scheduled in November using a display-page
ad.

committee should be formed and that it should be considered by some of
the existing commissions. In addition, she would like to have a

and hiring a consultant some time down the road.

departments would be placed in the building.

TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP - Willow Brook Estates, by KSA Associates
(S-l00-797)
Council was advised that the Planning Commission has granted permis-
sion to subdivide property into 30 single-family lots, located gener-
ally at the north end of Red Tail Drive, described as Tentative
Subdivision Map Willow Brook Estates, S-l4-86. 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 information item.
ANNEXATION REQUEST NO. 86-l2 - Debbie Lane Area
(A-l50-l92)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated September l0, which is incorporated herein by
reference. He advised that petitions have been received 20 property
owners representing 80% of the parcels in the Debbie Lane area. Mr.
Perry stated that this area is located at the northern end of Churn
Creek Bottom directly south of Churn Creek Road. He explained that
the Shasta County Health Officer has determined from water samplings
taken and tested by the State Water Quality Resources Board and
Environmental Health that a health hazard exists along Debbie Lane and
Huntington Drive. The only alternatives available to these property
owners are to form a special water district to serve the area; annex
to the City of Redding; request that Redding provide water service
outside the City limits; use bottled water or relocate. Mr. Perry
said it appears that the only economically viable long-term alterna-
tive is to connect to Redding's water system.
It is the recommendation of staff the Council refer this request to
departments for review and comment and to the Board of Administrative
Review for an environmental determination.
Mayor Fulton noted that when this annexation was considered in l98l,
the Council felt that Churn Creek Road was a natural boundary for the
City. He does not see the necessity of disrupting that boundary for
the purpose of supplying water, when that could be supplied by a water
district. Dr. Fulton felt the City's water service could be extended
without creating an annexation.
Council Member Johannessen said he has met with the residents of this
area and feels the water situation is critical. He felt the City
should provide water if it does not want to go through a full annexa-
tion.
Council Member Gard commented that the Council declared Churn Creek
Road as the boundary line and she has concerns about the policy
decision to extend services outside the City limits. She said it was
the County of Shasta that allowed this and she felt they should be
asked to participate in a water assessment district. She felt some-
thing should be done fairly quickly.
Director of Public Works Arness noted that there would be limited fire
flows because it would be at the tail end of the system.
City Attorney Hays said that could have an impact on the City's fire
rating. He added that extending services outside the City limits is a
policy decision.
Mr. Perry commented that if Council intends to annex the area in the
future, now would be the time to do that. He said it could be re-
ferred to the Public Works Department to see if an assessment district
could be formed, and what the costs would be.
Council Member Gard pointed out that, if the City is talking about
annexing this area, maybe it should consider taking the whole Churn
Creek Bottom area.
Mr. Perry suggested meeting with County officials to see if they are
going to place requirements on the annexation.
RECOMMENDATION RE AUDITORIUM SIGNAGE
(C-050-050)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry advised that, at the
request of Council, staff has researched several other alternatives
for the Civic Auditorium sign. He submitted a report to Council dated
September l2, l986, which is incorporated herein by reference. These
alternatives included readerboards placed at several locations in the
community, and several options for message boards located on or near
the Auditorium.
Council Members discussed the various alternatives regarding the
location and type of signs and asked that Mr. Perry report back at the
meeting of October 6, l986, with his recommendation.
RESOLUTION - re Agreement for Temporary Funding of Martin Luther King,
Jr. Memorial Center
(B-l30-l20)
It is the recommendation of the City Attorney that a resolution be
adopted approving an agreement which provides for the payment of
temporary funding to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Center in
the total sum of $6,000 for the period September l, l986, to November
30, l986.
Mayor Fulton asked the Finance Director about the status of the MLK
Center.
Finance Director Downing said staff has met with representatives from
the MLK Center to discuss their plans for the future and also to
encourage them to think of alternative means of financing. Ms.
Downing indicated that their doors are open; however, the employees
are laid off. She said she advised officials that they would have to
provide a list of actual costs before any funds could be released.
Deputy City Attorney McNeill advised that the lease has not been
terminated as long as the MLK occupies the center. He said the
preschool operates through the MLK and the City has no direct agree-
ment with the preschool program. Mr. McNeill indicated that, at this
point, the center is remaining open to allow the preschool to operate.
Council Member Johannessen suggested that Council approve this agree-
ment with the understanding that they provide the figures required.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Dahl that Resolution No. 86-25l be adopted, a resolution of the
