FIRE TASK FORCE - Status Report (B-080-600-200) Peter Irish, Chair of the Fire Service Element of the Public Safety Task Force, submitted the following documents to Council: l. Primary Team Assignments and Task Study Area Schedule 2. Tentative Task List 3. Recommendation for Implementation of Three Shift System 4. Request for Clarification of "Public Safety Work Force" Mr. Irish commented that the Task Force was a month late getting started and they may need to ask for an extension of time. Council Member Gard asked what empirical data was used in formulating the report regarding the Public Safety Department. Mr. Irish advised that this information is based on a summary of discussions during the Task Force meetings and represents the general impression of the members. He offered to supply empirical data if desired. Mayor Fulton noted that the Public Safety Department was emphasized in the resolution establishing the task force; however, he did not feel it should have a high priority. He noted that the three shift idea will be referred to staff. In response to an inquiry from Mayor Fulton, City Manager Courtney stated that he could have a report back to Council on November 3, in regard to the three shift system. Council Member Gard asked that her research paper on the Public Safety Department issue be distributed to the Task Force and to Council Members before any decision is made. POLICE TASK FORCE - Status Report (B-080-600-425) Judge Wilson Curle, Chair of the Police Task Force, thanked the Council for the assistance of City staff and all members of the Police Department. He said the Task Force has been welcomed with open arms by members of the Police Department. Judge Curle asked for clarification on the Council's wishes regarding the Public Safety Department issue. He noted that it could take the entire six months just to study this issue. Council Member Gard said both union representatives from both Police and Fire had made comments that they were concerned about the level of service. She added that the combined department would be a way of cutting costs while maintaining a high level of service. Ms. Gard noted that cities which have implemented the program have experienced tremendous benefits to their police departments. She noted, however, that if it is determined that it is not feasible politically, the Council should say so now. Mayor Fulton said he is not sure the option is entirely political. He said to the best of his knowledge, no large city has such a force in existence at this time. Mayor Fulton did not feel it should be a high priority. Council Member Dahl suggested that if the Task Forces feel the program merits additional study, that could be noted in the final reports and possibly a task force of its own could be appointed to study it further. It was the consensus of Council that the program does not seem to have the support necessary to warrant an in-depth study and should be placed low on the priority list. MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Carter extending the term of the Police and Fire Task Forces, to March 2, l986. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RESOLUTION - re Abatement at l283 California Street (Cascade Hotel) (A-030-070) City Attorney Hays advised that this matter has been continued from June 2, July 2l, and August l8, l986, at the request of the property owner. He submitted staff memos from the previous Council meetings, the Report of the Board of Appeals recommending abatement; and the Resolution for Council's consideration. Mr. Hays also submitted a memo from the Director of Planning and Community Development dated September 29, l986, recommending that the abatement proceedings be carried through, which will allow reuse of the property. Arch Pugh, l300 West Street, representing William Cox, requested further continuance of these proceedings to October 20, l986. He advised that his client has supplied plans to the Planning Department; however, his client was notified that the plans were inadequate. Also, Mr. Pugh advised that a variance for parking will also need to be considered by the Planning Commission on October l4. He noted that if the resolution is adopted, the 30 day period will not allow time to process the variance. Mr. Perry advised that he does not know what the action of the Plan- ning Commission will be concerning the variance. He added that the building did not qualify for senior housing as originally intended and is now proposed for single apartments. Council Member Gard commented that the cost to rehabilitate the building will be very great and she is concerned that this is the fifth request for extension of time. She emphasized that the building is a very serious health and safety hazard at this time. Ms. Gard felt it is time to make the statement that it will be cleaned up or torn down. City Attorney Hays encouraged the adoption of the resolution ordering the abatement because the property owner should have been ready to go ahead with his project by this time. Council Member Carter noted that he visited the building and there are vagrants in there. He said it is a serious safety hazard and felt the building is so deteriorated that it would be extremely difficult and expensive for Mr. Cox to do what he wants to do. Council Member Johannessen advised that he spent some time in the building and it is not secured. He said the mortar is deteriorated and it would take a steel structure to support the size of the walls. Mr. Johannessen said it is his understanding that the building has no significant value historically. Mr. Perry indicated that the earliest the parking variance could be considered by the Planning Commission is October 28. City Attorney Hays emphasized that it is required that the property owner keep the building secured. Mr. Pugh commented that he was not aware that it was unsecured. MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Carter that Resolution No. 86-274 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving the report and findings of the Board of Appeals, and ordering the abatement of the unsafe and unsightly building and debris on the property at l283 California Street (owned by William P. Cox). Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Carter, Dahl, Gard, Johannessen and Fulton Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 86-274 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Use Permit Application UP-l29-86 (L-0l0-390) The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the public hearing re appeal by Barbara Thompson of Use Permit Application UP-l29-86 (The Pound). 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 Planning Commission recommendation dated October 2, l986 Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo- randum to Council dated October 2, l986. He stated that the Redding Planning Commission had approved UP-l29-86, granting Kevin Suter permission to establish a teen dance club within an existing building on property located at l670 Market Street, in a "C-4" Retail Core Commercial District. Subsequent to the Planning Commission's approval of the application, an appeal was filed by Barbara Thompson. Mr. Perry outlined the concerns expressed by Mrs. Thompson, and addressed those concerns. He explained that the Commission approved the use permit subject to l4 conditions including a 90-day review. Mr. Perry pointed out that the 90-day review and ability to revoke the permit let the Commission give the benefit of the doubt to the appli- cant to show that a teen dance club at this location could be an asset to the area. Barbara Thompson, l229 South Street, said she is not opposing a teen club but she is opposed to the location. She emphasized that she lives near the only unposted lot in the downtown area and there is a lot of loitering there now and felt the kids from the club will add to the problem. She advised that the Police Department is unable to enforce the laws in existence and the property owner is unwilling to have his lot posted. Ms. Gard suggested that the property owner be contacted again about posting his lot. Dick Bates, l300 West Street, attorney representing the applicants, said they have sympathy for Mrs. Thompson, but they are not sure that the club will increase her problems. He said the applicants feel their club will be neutral or beneficial to the cruise problem. Mr. Bates asked that Council give them a chance to try to make it work. Kevin Suter, l020 Almond, noted that the private parking lots near the south end of the Downtown Mall are full by 8:00 P.M., by people going to the movie theatre. He said they sympathize with Mrs. Thompson but they are trying to provide an alternative to the cruise and loitering problems. Mrs. Nugent, Market and Shasta Streets, stressed that the teenagers need a place for them to go. She said these are all good kids and this would be a good alternative to cruising. Brian Carter, l327 Tehama Street, said Mr. Suter seems to be very responsible. He said they are looking at crowd control and dealing on an adult level. Mr. Carter felt the 90 day permit will give them a chance to prove themselves. MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Johannessen that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Council Member Johannessen indicated that he would like to support this effort, but his concern is the location in the Downtown Mall. He said the City is in the process of trying to save the Downtown Mall as prime retail space, and this would be the wrong use. Council Member Dahl agreed that the City needs an outlet for the teenagers, but felt the proposed location would be injurious to the Downtown Mall. MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Dahl to uphold the appeal and deny Use Permit UP-l29-86. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Johannessen and Dahl Noes: Council Members - Carter, Gard, and Fulton Absent: Council Members - None This motion failed. Council Member Gard maintained that the property owner is co-applicant in this matter and is willing to lease the property for this use. She felt the club is a viable use of the property. She felt that this age group needs to be provided some type of activity and if there is a real problem, the permit can be revoked after 90 days. Council Member Carter felt the applicant is trying to do the right thing. He said he has driven by the area and has seen the kids gathering but does not know if this will improve the situation. Mayor Fulton felt the 90 day trial period is not that long and lets the Council see what the situation is going to be. He does not feel the use will be that detrimental to the Mall. MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Carter that the appeal by Barbara Thompson of Use Permit UP-l29-86, be denied and that the Use Permit be approved for a 90-day trial period, subject to the conditions as approved by the Planning Commission. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Carter, Gard, and Fulton Noes: Council Members - Dahl and Johannessen Absent: Council Members - None Council Member Gard emphasized that there should be more enforcement of parking restrictions in the Downtown area. PUBLIC HEARING - re Rezoning Application RZ-l3-86, by Jaxon Baker and City of Redding (L-0l0-230) The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the public hearing re Rezoning Application RZ-l3-86, by Jaxon Baker and City of Redding (l657 Beltline Road and 44ll-4990 Mt. Lakes Blvd.). 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 Planning Commission recommendation dated September 26, l986 Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo- randum to Council dated September 26, l986. He stated that the Planning Commission has recommended rezoning of 28 acres located at 44ll Mountain Lakes Boulevard from "PI-BIA-F" Planned Industrial District, with one acre minimum parcel size, to "PI-B20-F" Planned Industrial District, with 20,000 square feet minimum parcel size. He noted that the Planning Commission also expanded the rezon-ing to include most of Unit III of Mountain Lakes Industrial Park to revise site-plan-review criteria. It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that the area be rezoned as outlined on the exhibit entitled "Expanded Area", that an ordinance be offered for first reading, and that the negative declaration be ratified. Mary Goldsmith, 409l Oasis Road, pointed out the the existing zoning ordinances are fine as written but they are not enforced. She advised that she lives next door to this property and it has been a constant fight. She pointed out that there is no screening on Mr. Bakers property or the Cal Tank property. Mr. Perry agreed that there is an enforcement problem. MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Dahl that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Council Member Gard commented that if the land is available in smaller lots, there may be help from neighbors to enforce the situation. Council Member Dahl said Mrs. Goldsmith's concerns should be addressed and added that the smaller lots will increase the possibility for development. Council Member Dahl offered Ordinance No. l78l for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Section l8.06.020 of the Redding Municipal Code relating to the rezoning of certain real property in the City of Redding (RZ-l3-86). MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Carter that Council make the following findings relative to RZ-l3-86: l. Project is compatible with the Redding General Plan. 2. Project will not significantly alter existing land form. 3. Project is compatible with surrounding land use. 4. Project is compatible with the Code of the City of Redding, California. and, ratify the Negative Declaration approved by the Planning Commis- sion on September 9, l986. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Mr. Perry advised that an inspection period is coming up on the Cal Tank property and if he does not comply, it will be referred to the City Attorney's office.

Mr. Perry noted that the rezoning is proposed by the City of Redding and is based upon new floodplain data supplied by the property owner's engineer. It is the opinion of staff and the Planning Commission that the floodplain boundary adjustment and rezoning are consistent with the General Plan and the City's Floodplain Ordinance. It is therefore recommended that the Council adjust the "U-F-FP" boundary and the "R3-30-Bl5-F-FP" be expanded as shown on the attached map exhibit dated July 30, l986, that an ordinance be offered for first reading and that the negative declaration be ratified.

The City shall retain a 20-foot public utility easement for the entire length of the alley. 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 Carter that Resolution No. 86-275 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding ordering the vacation and abandonment of the alley located behind ll50 California Street, between Trinity Street and the Eureka Way overcrossing where it dead ends, subject to the City retaining a 20-foot public utility easement along the entire length of the alley (A-8-86), and ratifying the negative declaration.

PUBLIC HEARING - re Abandonment Application A-l2-86, by Joe Fancher (A-0l0-040) The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the public hearing re Abandonment Application A-l2-86, by Joe Fancher (8l7 Monarch Court), Open Space Easement. 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 Affidavit of Posting - Notice of Intention Planning Commission recommendation dated September 26, l986 Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo- randum to Council dated September 26, l986. He stated that the Planning Commission recommended abandonment of a portion of an open-- space easement on property located at 8l7 Monarch Court, in an "R-l" Single-Family Residential District. Mr. Perry noted that the Fire Marshal is not in favor of the abandon- ment due to the increased fire hazard associated with extending a deck over the heavily vegetated hillside. If approved, he has asked that the following conditions be established: l. A sprinkler system protecting the deck shall be installed to the specifications of the Fire Marshal. 2. An area below the deck shall be cleared of vegetation as per the requirements of the Fire Marshal. It is the opinion of the Planning Commission and staff that due to the unusual circumstances involving the relationship of the structure to the land and the enormous depth of the open-space easement, the integrity of the easement will not be compromised by the shifting of the boundary line. It is therefore the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that the City Council abandon the subject ease- ment as outlined and depicted on the map dated August 26, l986, and that a resolution be adopted. MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Carter that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes City Attorney Hays advised that the conditions could be added to the resolution, if Council approves the abandonment. He said the resolu- tion would not be recorded until the conditions were complied with. MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Dahl that Resolution No. 86-276 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding ordering the vacation and abandonment of an open space easement located on property at 8l7 Monarch Court (A-l2-86), with the addition of the conditions recommended by the Fire Marshal; and, that the resolution not be recorded until the conditions are met; and, ratifying the negative declaration.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Carter that Resolution No. 86-277 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding ordering the vacation and abandonment of the 20-foot fire access easement on property located at 554 Aurora Place (A-ll-86), and ratifying the negative declaration.

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - re Resolutions of Public Convenience and Necessity to Acquire Property at Redding Municipal Airport (Sanders and Shasta Enterprise Properties) (C-070-0l0 and A-090-l00) The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the con- tinued public hearing re resolutions of public convenience and neces- sity to acquire property at Redding Municipal Airport. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Posting - Notice of Continued Public Hearing Deputy City Attorney McNeill reviewed his memorandum to Council dated October 2, l986, which is incorporated herein by reference. He explained that Council is considering eminent domain proceedings to acquire real property owned by Shasta Enterprises and the Sanders family, at the north end of the Redding Municipal Airport. The Shasta Enterprises property consists of one parcel of 4.78 acres; and the Sanders property consists of two contiguous parcels totalling 9.63 acres. Also submitted to Council was a memo from the Director of Airports and a letter from the City's Airport Master Plan Consultant regarding the justification for acquisition of these properties. Mr. McNeill explained that acquisition of the land has been recom- mended based upon its proximity to the present and future Airport runway, high noise impact on the property, and land use compatibility for present and future Airport growth. He said an additional benefit is that acquisition of the properties would remove a through-the-fence easement which jeopardizes FAA grant funding for the Airport. Mr. McNeill pointed out that Shasta Enterprises has sued the City of Redding, claiming that the City has inversely condemned this easement by failing to seek approval for the easement from FAA. He said, while he believes there is no merit in these claims, the City's acquisition of the parcels would essentially render the litigation moot. Mr. McNeill advised that the law authorizes the owners of the property to request a hearing on the public convenience and necessity of taking this property. It is the recommendation of the Director of Airports and the City Attorney that Council approve the Resolutions of Public Convenience and Necessity for acquisition by eminent domain of these properties. Mr. McNeill advised that David Hodges of Hodges and Shutt, Master Plan Consultants for the Airport Master Plan, is present to address Coun- cil. David Hodges, 2339 Santa Fe Drive, Santa Rosa, said it is their recommendation that the City acquire the parcels in fee simple. He said their recommendation is based on three factors: l) land use compatibility, 2) the existence of through-the-fence agreements, and 3) possible loss of F.A.A. funding. Council Member Carter questioned Mr. Hodges regarding noise, safety, and security impacts at the Airport. Mr. Hodges pointed out that the City needs to limit structural devel- opment in the approach area of the Airport. He emphasized that, by owning the land, the City has more control over these impacts. He added that noise is not a major issue but this also could be better controlled by City ownership. Mr. Hodges indicated that these rec- ommendations can be substantiated by many other airports. It was the opinion of Mr. Carter that if this land is not acquired, the property owners would have to apply for a use permit and con- ditions could be placed on the permit to control the concerns listed by Mr. Hodges. Mr. Hodges did not feel that the degree of control is as great. Council Member Dahl inquired why the through-the-fence easement was granted originally if this jeopardizes FAA funding. City Attorney Hays advised that this recommendation was made by the previous City Manager and Airports Director. Council Member Gard said she does not recall these concerns being raised at that time; however, she voted against it because of other concerns. Mr. Carter asked Mr. Hodges if he has had any discussions with the FAA that they will withhold funds if the City allows the easements. Mr. Hodges advised that the FAA has received information from the City as to what property interests are around the airport. He said the City incorrectly stated that there are no easements. He felt the issue is whether or not the easement in place could receive FAA funds. Mr. Carter remarked that it is his understanding that the FAA said it could be worked out. Mr. Hodges said they believe that FAA approval could be received and would have to be clarified. Mr. Hodges felt that if the City wishes to pursue it, such approval would be forthcoming. In regard to land use compatibility, Mr. Johannessen noted that it has been stated that purchas-ing the land as clear zone for the Airport would justify FAA funding. However, that is not necessarily true and they can also provide funding outside that clear zone, he said. Mr. Hodges replied that outside the clear zone, justification must be provided. Mr. Johannessen also questioned Mr. Hodges' comments concerning noise of private development versus City-built buildings around the Airport. Mr. Hodges said they are not suggesting that there be development in that area. Council Member Johannessen stated that Mr. Mavrakis of the FAA said the City failed on four tests for the easement. He said Mr. Hodges claims it was not submitted to the FAA although an attempt was made by the applicant. Mr. Hodges emphasized that his firm is a private consultant retained by the City to prepare the Airport Master Plan. He said he was aware of the easement but not of the application to the FAA for approval. Airports Director Homan, advised that in l98l, the application by Shasta Enterprises for this easement was approved by the Airports Commission and it was approved by the City Council. He said this easement was of concern to his predecessor and to himself. He noted that on the northwest side of the Airport, a request for a through-- the-fence easement was submitted to the FAA and was denied. The Airport Master Plan recommends no such easements. He added that Shasta Enterprises submitted an application directly to the FAA. The response said it must be submitted by the City and that they discour- age through-the-fence easements. The Airports Commission determined that these easements should not be supported and they support the Master Plan. Mr. Homan added that if the FAA determines that the City is violating its FAA assurance, their funding will cease. Mr. Johannessen said the consultants, in essence want the City to violate the contract with Shasta Enterprises and the Sanders family. Mr. Hodges replied that they were asked by the City and the FAA to examine the area and make an assessment. He said their recommendation is that it is inappropriate to have through-the-fence easements at the Airport and is not in the City's best interest. Mr. Johannessen said there appears to be a loss of communication if a contractual agreement exists, it should have been included in any drafting of documents by the consultant. Leonard Wingate, attorney representing Shasta Enterprises, submitted a report and exhibits dated October 3, l986, and asked that it be made part of the record of this proceeding. He noted that Council must make certain findings regarding the "proposed project" in order to acquire this property, and as yet, the Council has received no spe- cific project. He said the Council does have a master plan and General Plan for the Airport dated l982. He said both documents designate the same general area for clear zones. He said the Airports Director considered the policy for private easements for two years and a decision was made to enter into that partnership. Mr. Wingate stated that in l984, it was clear that City staff was not going to take this to FAA. He asked how the City could know what is going to happen until it presents an application to FAA. He asked that Council turn down the request to acquire these properties and direct staff to include in the Airport Layout Plan the existing easement. He also asked that staff be directed to include in the Master Plan the exist- ing easement and proceed with an application that meets FAA require- ments. Mr. Wingate said it is not their intent to interfere with FAA funding. Mayor Fulton asked Mr. Wingate if his clients would be willing to give up their easement. Mr. Wingate advised that they would not. He said the City has two strong controls on the development of the property. The developers must go to the City for any development of that property and any use must go through the use permit process. Leonard Bandell, l330 West Street, representing the Sanders group, submitted for the record excerpts from Working Papers l, 2, and 3 prepared by Hodges and Shutt, miscellaneous communications, EIR-l-82, and a memorandum from the Airports Director regarding take offs and landings from l982. Mr. Bandell felt a policy should be made by the City Council concern- ing these easements. Mr. Wingate pointed out that any airport related uses must be approved by the City and the City Council can condition any uses. He referred to the findings necessary to acquire the property. He felt the noise issue is a non-issue. In regard to the land use compatibility, he said these properties have already been designated Airport Service. Mr. Bandell felt that the only issue is the through-the-fence easements. He felt the City Council cannot make the findings necessary to acquire the property by eminent domain. Peter Irish, 3566 Nicolet Lane, said it appears to him that it is difficult to make the necessary findings to acquire the property. He said people in the business community would be upset if Council did that. Mr. Irish felt it is incumbent upon the City Council to curtail this type of process and only use it when it is necessary and clearly justified. It was the opinion of Mr. Irish that if this property is acquired, it will be viewed very negatively. Deputy City Attorney McNeill said the City of Redding has been named in a law suit already which alleges that the easement has already been taken. He pointed out that policy issues and alternatives are the key considerations. It was the opinion of Mr. McNeill that Council does have ample justification to go forward with eminent domain proceed- ings. He said the FAA strongly discourages through-the-fence ease- ments and if this is permitted, it could have a detrimental effect on grant funding for the Airport. Mr. McNeill pointed out that Mr. Bandell suggested that a use permit could be conditioned so that the use will no longer be ap-proved. Mr. McNeill did not feel that is a practical application. He pointed out that once funding is gone it won't be easy to remedy that. MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Johannessen that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Ms. Gard addressed Mr. Irish's comments and stressed that her responsi-bility is to the total community and the news media has to respond to Council's decisions however they feel appropriate. She feels very strongly that the airport is one of the single most important factors to the future of this community. She does not feel that the City can tamper with the future of the Airport for the private benefit. MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard that resolutions be adopted finding that the public convenience and necessity require the acquisi- tion of certain real property interests (Shasta Enterprises and the Sanders property), at Redding Municipal Airport. This motion died for lack of a second. Council Member Dahl said he sympathizes with the staff but if the easements were given, the City should not try to take them away. He felt use of eminent domain without respect for the individual is an abusive use of government power. Council Member Johannessen said he cannot support eminent domain in this matter. He indicated that he takes a very dim view of government taking private property. He said the City has the power to say what is being built on that property. Council Member Carter indicated that he cannot support the issue either. MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member Johannessen that eminent domain proceedings not be taken to acquire the Sanders and Shasta Enterprises properties at Redding Municipal Airport. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Carter, Dahl, Johannessen, and Fulton Noes: Council Members - Gard Absent: Council Members - None MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member Dahl l) that the Airport Director proceed to implement the through-- the-fence taxiway agreement with Shasta Enterprises and the Sanders Group by initiating an application with the Federal Aviation Adminis-tration, and 2) that the taxiway be included in the Airport Master Plan, and 3) that Shasta Enterprises and the Sanders Group agree that any airport oriented usages on their property shall be approved by the Airports Commission and the City Council, and 4) that all uses shall conform to Federal Aviation Regulations and policies so as not to jeopardize any future FAA discretionary grant funding for the Redding Municipal Airport, and 5) that the above process be initiated by the Airport Director forthwith and without delay. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Carter, Dahl, Johannessen, and Fulton Noes: Council Members - Gard Absent: Council Members - None DISCUSSION REGARDING THE NEW CITY HALL LOCATION (B-080-650-460) Council Member Johannessen advised that he placed this matter on the agenda to start the dialog about the location of the new City Hall. He felt there is no question about the need for a new facility, but the difficulty will be the location. Mr. Johannessen felt that a decision on a general area (east or west of the River), will allow the City to do some planning that it can't do now. He noted that a request is currently before the Council to lease City property at the current City Hall site. He said if the decision is made to put the new City Hall on the east side of the river, this property should not be encumbered any further. City Manager Courtney stated that the Planning Department has prepared an analysis that rates alternative sites. Mayor Fulton felt more public input is needed. Council Member Gard concurred and suggested the Redding Reports with a questionaire attached. Ms. Gard said she will work with the City Manager and Planning Director on a flyer. NEW POSITION IN ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT - Request for Authorization to Proceed (P-l00-060 and A-050-l25) City Manager Courtney submitted a job description and justification for an Associate Electrical Engineer position in the Electric Depart- ment. MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Johannessen authorizing staff to proceed with recruitment for an Associate Electrical Engineer for the Electric Department. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PROPOSED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM - l986-87 (B-050-l50-800) City Manager Courtney advised that on September 2, l986, Council deferred action on the Economic Development Corporation Market Plan for the l986-87 fiscal year. He said the City of Redding industrial promotion program for the l986-87 fiscal year is proposed to be as follows: Economic Development Corporation Market Plan $50,000 Superior California Development Council $ 5,l00 Mr. Courtney explained that the l986-87 budget included an appro- priation in the amount of $33,000 for industrial promotion. He added that if the Economic Development Corporation Marketing Plan is funded in the amount of $50,000, a $22,l00 supplemental appropriation will be required. In response to an inquiry from Ms. Gard, Mr. Courtney advised that several years ago the formula for funding to the EDC was a formula based on population; however, in more recent years the City has not paid EDC directly but has funded the Superior California Development Council. He noted that in l984, the City funded the Jack Schreder contract. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Johannessen approving the l986-87 Economic Development Corporation Marketing Plan funding in the amount of $50,000, and directing staff to prepare the contractual agreement.

SOFTBALL COMPLEX SITE SELECTION - Recommendation (P-050-600) Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo- randum to Council dated October 2, l986, which is incorporated herein by reference. He explained that the Planning Commission recommended the following priority be attached to the sites under consideration: l. South of Knighten Road 2. Clear Creek Sewage Treatment Plant It is the recommendation of staff that Council direct staff to have prepared a focused environmental impact report that covers noise, night lighting, traffic and access, aesthetics, archaeology, General Plan consistency, and preparation of schematic site plans on two but not more than three sites. Mr. Perry said this document should be prepared by an outside consultant and would be used to quantify impacts and provide information on the environmental aspects of a complex at these locations. The alternate site study already prepared by the staff would comprise the remainder of the environmental impact report. Mr. Perry said the estimated cost is about $8,000. Council Member Gard asked that a financing plan be prepared before the study begins. Mr. Perry advised that it would be a multi-year project and may include grant funds. Council Member Johannessen thanked the Recreation and Parks Commission for their work and felt they did an excellent job in their report to Council, even though there may be some question whether or not the McConnell property can be used for a softball complex. MOTION: Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Carter approving the recommendation of staff, and that the study include the Knighten Road, Clear Creek Sewage Treatment Plant, and the McConnell property on East Cypress Avenue; and, that if the Cypress site is eliminated, the concentration be on the other two sites.

A copy of the report was submitted to Council. Mr. Perry listed the possible sites and noted that the Turtle Bay site received the best rating. No action was required by Council at this time. Marcia Howe, Director of the Carter House Museum, said the report is the result of two years of work by the staff. She advised that they have felt the need to expand the museum for a long time, and the Board is seriously working at sources of funding. Ms. Gard noted that the Museum enjoys a tremendous support in the community. RECOMMENDATION RE OBTAINING A CONSULTANT FOR PARK MARINA DRIVE/TURTLE BAY MASTER PLAN (G-030-0l0) Planning and Community Development Director Perry advised it is the recommendation of a committee consisting of Council Member Johannessen, Planning Commissioner Moss, Deputy City Attorney McNeill, Parks and Recreation Director Riley, and Planning and Community Development Director Perry, that The Planning Collaborative in asso- ciation with Pace Engineering and Economic Research Associates be retained as the consultant to do the plan in the amount of $62,700; and, that the City Manager be authorized to enter into a contract to do the work.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes REQUEST FOR LEASE OF CITY PROPERTY - Alano Club (C-070-l00) Planning and Community Development Director Perry advised that the City Council has received a letter from the president of the Alano Club of Redding asking to lease City land at a nominal value for 50 years. The area requested to be leased is 4,200 square feet on the former California Division of Forestry site on Parkview Avenue, plus provisions for parking. Mr. Perry noted that on the site, the club proposes to construct a new building and at the end of the 50-year lease, all improvements would become property of the City. Mr. Perry commented that, as a follow-up to the request, the City needs to establish policies on the management of its public lands both for revenue and for response to nonprofit organizations. He said the recommended response to this request is site specific. Mr. Ed Limond, 243l North Street, President of the Alano Club, said they would not pursue a lease with the City in light of the new City Hall site study. He explained that they would like to build a quality building that would become City property at the end of the lease; however, if it is the policy of the City to not have any long term leases, he would like to know if they should pursue other avenues. Discussion ensued regarding a City policy and guidelines regarding the administration of public lands. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Johannessen directing the Planning Director to draft guidelines relative to the use of public lands in the municipal boundaries.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RECOMMENDATION RE CONSTRUCTION HOURS AND NOISE (L-040-030) Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo- randum to Council dated October 3, l986. He stated that the Council received a letter from Robert Colivas asking that consideration be given to establishment of time limits on when construction activity could be commenced in residential zones. Mr. Perry submitted corre- spondence from various City departments, and a letter from the Shasta Builders Exchange. The Shasta Builders Exchange suggested a plan whereby they publish in their weekly report, reminders asking contrac- tors not to start before 6:00 a.m. and if they have to start before that hour, to be sure and visit with the neighbors the day before. They also said they will follow up on complaints where possible to work toward a positive solution. It is the recommendation of staff that Council take no action at this time. He said the program proposed by the Builder's Exchange should help. In the alternative, the hours suggested by the Building Offi- cial would be reasonable, Mr. Perry said. He added that the informa- tion obtained to date will establish a bench mark for any future evaluation. No action was required on this matter. Council Member Gard emphasized that the Builders Exchange needs to address the noise of radios as well. She asked that a letter of response be sent to Mr. Colivas.

REQUEST TO OBTAIN CONSULTING SERVICE - re City Land at Municipal Airport (C-070 and A-090-l00) Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo- randum to Council dated October 3, l986, which is incorporated herein by reference. He advised that two requests for land have been re- ceived at the Municipal Airport as follows: l. A request by Jack Kilpatrick to lease or purchase property for an Avis franchise and possibly a convenience store. The property he is interested in is across Airport Road from the entrance to the terminal. An acreage was not specified. 2. A request by Dean Murray to lease or purchase approximately l3 acres between Devere Road and the clear zone. Mr. Murray plans to develop a plant to manufacture pre-cut homes. Of the l3 acres, only a portion would be used for the pre-cut business, the rest would be developed by Mr. Murray. Mr. Perry explained that the land in question has been declared surplus by the City, however, it has not been submitted to Federal Aviation Administration for concurrence. He said staff needs to determine if Council wishes to negotiate with the interested parties, if Council is interested in marketing the land at this time, if sale or lease is preferred, and if Council feels the proposed uses are appro-priate. It is the recommendation of staff that Council direct staff to prepare a subdivision plan and then discuss possible leases. However, with present work, a consultant would have to be used, and Mr. Perry suggested that staff be authorized to prepare proposals. It is further recommended that staff be directed to clear the property through FAA. Mr. Perry noted that eventually, the City will have a master plan for all areas fronting on Airport Road. Ms. Gard commented that as a general policy, she is concerned about selling land around the Airport. MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Gard approving the recommendation of staff as stated above. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RECOMMENDATION RE APPOINTMENTS TO THE URBAN CENTENNIAL DESIGN AWARD SELECTION COMMITTEE (B-080-600-950) MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Gard that the following candidates be appointed to the Urban Centennial Design Award Selection Committee and the Banquet Committee: Judges for the Centennial Urban Design Award Jim Coats Ronald Beyer Marie Whitaker Tom Osgood Bob Small Richard Wilson Randy Hauser Marilyn Adams Sandy Wood Don Oestreicher Banquet Committee Gary Anthis James Graves Les Melburg The Vote: Unanimous Ayes It is also requested that each member of the City Council begin submitting nominations to the Planning Department, for the award. The deadline for nominations is November l2, l986. RECOMMENDATION TO AWARD DESIGN CONTRACT - Air Terminal Expansion (A-090-l00) Airports Director Homan explained that it is not uncommon to see l40 plus people in the Municipal Airport terminal lobby for just one flight. He explained that the lobby can only seat 92 persons. Mr. Homan advised that the basic terminal design will accommodate an expansion by enclosing the alcoves, thereby providing space for over 60 additional lobby seats. He noted that this enclosure will also give the option to move the vending machines to an alcove and open a gift shop concession and consider a travel agency. Both would bring additional revenues to the airport. Mr. Homan advised that the design for the alcoves has been completed by Smart and Clabaugh Architects with an estimated construction cost of $50,000. Mr. Homan advised that FAA has informed the City that certain air terminal expansion projects are eligible for entitlement money. Therefore, staff would like to expand the overall project goal to include an enclosed passenger baggage receiving area with conveyor baggage distribution. He said the estimated costs, without design, would be $375,000. He noted that FAA has verbally agreed to apply entitlement monies for 50% of the project costs. It is the recommendation of staff that Smart and Clabaugh be awarded the design contract in the amount of $5,500. Mr. Homan added that Smart and Clabaugh is the firm which designed the original terminal building and possesses all the facility plans. Council Member Gard said she does not object to the funds for the design but was concerned about the $l90,000 commitment from the General Fund. Council Member Johannessen contended that there are so many other needs at the Airport and suggested that these funds be spent for people that want to locate at the Airport. Mr. Homan explained that the $l90,000 would not come from the General Fund but will be paid for from Airport revenues. MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Fulton approving the recommendation of staff as stated above. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Dahl, Gard, and Fulton Noes: Council Members - Johannessen Absent: Council Members - None Abstain: Council Members - Carter REQUEST TO NEGOTIATE WITH SBA - re Property Acqusition at Redding Municipal Airport (C-070-0l0 and A-090-l00) Airports Director Homan reviewed his memorandum to Council dated September 26, l986. He stated that the Small Business Administration (SBA) informs staff that the Cal-Todd litigation with American Eagle (Mahan) has been settled and the decision for disposing of the facili- ty will be made in the very near future. It is the recommendation of the Airports Director that Council author- ize staff to commence formal negotiations with SBA toward Cal-Todd acquisition within the price range of $475,000. If negotiated, final terms will be provided for City Council approval. MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Dahl approving the recommendation of staff as stated above. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes REQUEST TO NEGOTIATE WITH CHEVRON - re Property Acquisition at Redding Municipal Airport (C-070-0l0 and A-090-l00) Airports Director Homan advised that in l970, Standard Oil Company (Chevron) entered into a fifteen year land lease at Municipal Airport consisting of .74 acres to install, at their expense, a three tank 30,000 gallon capacity aviation fuel storage facility. Subsequent to the expiration of the lease, Standard Oil requested a month to month lease agreement as they wish to sell the tank farm to North Star Aviation which is the airport Chevron distributor. The City receives approximately $4,000 per year from Chevron in fuel flowage. Mr. Homan advised that, in view of North Star's Chapter ll, Chevron is now querying if the City is interested in purchasing the fuel fa- cility. Based upon the elements of control and costs, staff recommends Council authorization to open formal negotiations with Chevron for the pur- chase of the facility. Jerry Griffith, President of North Star Aviation, said they have been negotiating with Chevron for three years to purchase the fuel fa- cility. He said they had agreed to buy it for $l2,000; however, every road block has been put in their way by the City Attorney and the Airport Director's office. City Attorney Hays interjected that Mr. Griffith doesn't have the money to pay his bills. Mr. Griffith commented that at one time they had the opportunity to buy the fuel farm for $l; however, now Chevron is asking fair market value. He said if they could have negotiated a ground lease, they would have bought the tanks by now. MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard to withdraw in this negotiation so that the City does not make it impossible for North Star to acquire the facility if they so desire to purchase it. Mr. Griffith said they still do not have approval regarding the ground lease and cannot buy the fuel facility until this occurs. This motion died for lack of a second. City Attorney Hays advised that he will provide Council with the historical documentation on this matter. No action was taken at this time and the matter was deferred to a future meeting. PUBLIC WORKS PLANNING REPORTS - October l986 (A-050-300) Public Works Director Arness presented the Public Works Planning Reports for October, l986. REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT PROPOSALS - re Solid Waste Disposal Alternatives (S-020) Public Works Director Arness advised that a City committee met with a County committee to review the City's recent study on disposal of solid wastes. He said the joint committee reviewed a rough draft on a request for proposals to hire an independent consultant to evaluate the CH2M Hill study and the City's recent study. Mr. Arness added that the plan is to obtain outside assistance and share in the eval-uation on a 50/50 basis with costs not to exceed $l0,000 by each party. If the Council and the Board approve this proposal, City and County Public Works staff will solicit proposals, evaluate them, and submit a recommendation to the committees for their review. Mr. Arness ex- plained that their recommendation will be sent to both governing boards for approval. The City Council will be the awarding body. MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member Johannessen authorizing staff to solicit proposals to evaluate solid waste disposal alternatives, to be shared 50/50 by Shasta County, with costs not to exceed $l0,000 by each party. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes ORDINANCE - re Tourism and Convention Commission (B-080-540) Council Member Carter recommended adoption of an ordinance establish- ing a Tourism and Convention Commission.
