Council Members absent: Carter and Dahl. RESOLUTION - Encouraging the Rotary Sponsored Mulege Project (A-050-060-600) City Attorney Hays submitted a proposed resolution commending District 5l6 Rotary Clubs for its participation in the City of Mulege health-- care project, and showing the Council's support. Council Member Gard noted that in the past Council has only passed resolutions that were directly related to the City of Redding. She said, while this is a very worthwhile project, these types of resolu- tions take a lot of staff time and City resources. Ms. Gard commented that if Council goes forward with this resolution, it should recog- nized that the Council will be getting similar requests from every organization and activity in the community. She said this is a direct departure from what the Council has done in the past. Mayor Fulton concurred and suggested that a letter of support be written rather than adopting a resolution. Council Member Carter arrived at this time. MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Johannessen authorizing the Mayor to write a letter of appreciation to the local Rotary Club and the District officer of District 5l6. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Council Member Carter abstaining DISCUSSION OF CIVIC AUDITORIUM AS ALTERNATE SITE FOR CENTENNIAL KICKOFF EVENT (B-080-650-l30 and C-050-050) Council Member Johannessen advised that a letter has been received from Richard Guy Paulson consenting to allow the Redding Rodeo Asso- ciation and Asphalt Cowboys to use the Civic Auditorium as a rain date for the Centennial Kickoff BBQ and dance to be held on October 4, l986. Deputy City Clerk Strohmayer read the letter in full. Auditorium Director Montgomery stated staff is in agreement with the letter. Mr. Johannessen said that Mr. Paulson had indicated that he was most delighted to do this. Mr. Johannessen added that hopefully, the Auditorium can be the primary location for the Redding Centennial. He noted that the Redding Soroptimist Club is also involved with the Redding Rodeo Association in this endeavor. MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Carter the Mr. Paulson's very gracious offer be accepted and that the Mayor be authorized to send a letter of appreciation.

He stated that this request was referred to staff for additional information regarding costs to form an assessment district for water service. Mr. Perry noted that the majority of reasons not to annex in l98l are no longer pertinent in l986. He added that both Shasta County and the Office of Special Districts have indicated support of the annexation. Additionally, Mr. Perry stated that Julie Howard of the Local Agency Formation Commission recognizes the needs of the area and has indicated support of the annexation without imposing requirements of additional land area. A proposed boundary map was submitted. It is the opinion of the Planning Director that the positives outweigh the negatives and this annexation request should be approved. It is recommended that Council adopt a resolution authorizing commencement of the annexation proceedings, subject to three conditions as follows: l. No cost for the City to rebuild or repair streets as a product of installing the water system. 2. Property owners to form an assessment district to install a water system with fire hydrants to ISO standards. 3. Property owners to pay all applicable water connection charges. It is further recommended that the Mayor be authorized to execute the Property Tax Exchange Agreement with Shasta County. Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memorandum to Council dated September 23, l986, which is incorporated herein by reference. He submitted copies of the estimate, the assessment spread, and the petition for the proposed water assessment district. Mr. Arness said the estimate is based on historical costs and not on precise engineer- ing. Associate Civil Engineer Hastings stated that if the petition for a water assessment district fails, a decision has to be made with the Board of Supervisors or the City Council, whether to invoke the Health Officers position to force installation of the improvements. Mr. Perry noted that the annexation is conditional upon formation of the water district. City Attorney Hays suggested that Council authorize the circulation of the petition without going forward with the annexation at this time. MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Carter authorizing staff to circulate a petition for a water assessment district only at this time, in accordance with the Public Works Director's map entitled Exhibit A. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Council Member Gard emphasized that it is far better to annex an area where the City plans to provide services because the current residents of the City should not have to pay for substandard facilities in the County. She said potential annexation areas need to understand that it is going to be the responsibility of the new residents to bring their properties up to standard. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, at the hour of l2:30 P.M., Mayor Fulton declared the meeting adjourned.
