Mr. Pugh contends that it is not until potentially this year that the school district has met or exceeded the "certified capacity", and therefore those who paid fees for those prior years are entitled refunds. With the concurrence of Council, Mayor Fulton referred this matter to the Shasta Lake Union Elementary School District Board. Request for Funding - The Golden Umbrella, Inc. (B-l30-l20) A communication was received from Lucy Garlit, Executive Director of The Golden Umbrella, Inc., expressing the Agency's funding needs. She ex-plained that the needs of Redding Seniors that Golden Umbrella serve are on the rise and reviewed the types of services the agency pro- vides. Ms. Garlit explained that they have been preparing themselves for greater financial independence through the establishment of the Adult Day Healthcare Center (ADHC), and other fund raising efforts. However, the start-up costs for the ADHC program were more than $l2,000 which had to be absorbed by the Golden Umbrella, she said. Ms. Garlit pointed out that some of the financial assistance programs to the agency have also been cut. She indicated that without funding for a full start-up year to use as a foundation for the ADHC program, the ADHC is in jeopardy, as well as the Golden Umbrella organization. Ms. Garlit asked that Council give careful consideration to their budget needs for now and possibly into the future. She explained that the Golden Umbrella has a clear and solid track record in the com- munity for providing vital and necessary services to seniors since it's inception in l969. Mayor Fulton noted that he has discussed this issue with the Finance Department and they feel there is an urgency with this agency, as there was with the Martin Luther King Center. He suggested referring this to the Finance Department and to the Revenue Sharing Committee. Council Member Johannessen stated that the Golden Umbrella received $25,000 last year. He said he realizes that funds are limited but felt this is a very worthwhile organization and suggested a $5,000 advance. City Attorney Hays commented that Mr. Johannessen advised him that he was going to recommend this funding agreement and his office has prepared a resolution and temporary funding agreement in the event that it would be approved. Council Member Carter said he has been following the activities of the Golden Umbrella for many years and they are a fine organization. MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Carter that Resolution No. 86-287 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving an agreement for temporary funding between the City of Redding and the Golden Umbrella, Inc., and authorizing the Mayor to sign same.

CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - re Establishment of a Parking and Business Improvement Area (M-0l0-200-050) The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the con- tinued public hearing re the establishment of a Parking and Business Improvement Area. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Posting - Notice of Continued Public Hearing City Attorney Hays advised that in recent weeks, discussions with downtown business people have led to significant proposed changes in the Parking and Business Improvement Area. He submitted material which explained the proposed changes and advised that this material was mailed to all businesses in the proposed Parking and Business Improvement Area (PBIA). Mr. Hays suggested that the public hearing be continued to November 3, l986, to allow all City Council members to be present, and to give business people an opportunity to read and respond to the materials sent to them in the mail. It is further proposed that the November 3, public hearing be used to evaluate responses and hear comments and suggestions from business people in the proposed PBIA. Mr. Hays indicated that any further changes in the PBIA would be made following that public hearing, and after a further public hearing on December l, l986, there will be a final tabulation of votes from responding businesses and a decision by the City Council. Mayor Fulton asked if anyone in the audience wished to make comments who could not be present on November 3, l986. No one responded. PUBLIC HEARING - re General Plan Amendment Application GPA-5-86, by Bethel Church (5707 and 5725 E. Bonnyview Road) (G-030-0l0) The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the public hearing re General Plan Amendment Application GPA-5-86, by Bethel Church (5707 and 5725 E. Bonnyview Road). 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 l6, l986 Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo- randum to Council dated October l6, l986. He stated that the Planning Commission, recommended that the property be classified from "Residen- tial 2.0 units per acre" to "Residential, 3.0 units per acre." Also, at the Commission's meeting of September 9, l986, they recertified EIR-2-78 as adequately addressing the environmental impacts of GPA-5-86 and limited the amendment to the l8.6 acres on property located at the northeast corner of the intersection of South Bonnyview Road and East Bonnyview Road. Maps of the area were shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry noted that the Bethel Church originally purchased the property for the purpose of building a new facility. They have since chosen a different location and are seeking to sell the property. In recommending approval, Mr. Perry noted that the Commission ques- tioned the economic feasibility of development at 2.0 units per acre and the development of sanitary sewers in the area. The Commission previously had discussed the potential of expanding the study area to include all parcels classified at 2.0 units per acre in the Cascade area. Mr. Perry advised that the Commission rejected expanding the area due to staff's current work load and the length of time necessary to process a new environmental impact report and General Plan amend- ment of that magnitude. If Council concurs in the recommendation, the action would be to find that EIR-2-78 adequately addressed the impact of the project, that mitigation measures will be applied at the time of development, and that staff be directed to prepare a resolution to enact the amendment for adoption at the next meeting. Council Member Johannessen expressed concern regarding the traffic congestion in the area. Mr. Perry replied that there are many bottlenecks in that area and it would take a lot of dollars to rectify this. Dale Daley, Associate Pastor at Bethel Church, said that in addition to their need for a larger location, they were also concerned about the additional traffic their church would bring to this area. He felt that the church facility they had proposed for this parcel would have created more traffic than the proposed General Plan Amendment. Mr. Daley felt that with proper ingress and egress, traffic impacts could be dealt with. He reminded Council that the County anticipated this growth when they built the bridge and the road, and that funding was presented partly by Federal money for signals, sewer lines, water lines, and schools in the area. He requested approval of the General Plan Amendment. MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Carter that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Carter approving General Plan Amendment Application GPA-5-86, and directing the staff to prepare a resolution for adoption. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Carter finding that EIR-2-78 adequately addressed the impact of the project and that mitigation measures will be applied at the time of development.

ORDINANCE - Adding Chapter 2.50, Tourism and Convention Commission, to Redding Municipal Code (B-080-540) MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Carter that the full reading of Ordinance No. l784 be waived, and the City Attorney be instructed to read the full title. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Council Member Johannessen said he is in favor of this type of Commis- sion; however, he is somewhat concerned about its structure. He said, although Redding is the benefactor of the tourist business, it may be that the composition of the Commission should be somewhat more re- gional for tourist promotion. He felt that perhaps some additional work needs to be done prior to enactment of the ordinance. Council Member Carter noted that one of the problems that Council talked about is that the special promotion fund is generated solely in the City limits of Redding. Mr. Johannessen agreed but pointed out that most tourists do not come here just to see the City of Redding, but Redding becomes the bene- factor of this business. He emphasized that there are some indivi- duals who have the expertise to contribute something to this Commis- sion who do not live in the City limits of Redding. Mr. Carter asked how the ordinance could be restructured to cover Mr. Johannessen's concerns. Mr. Johannessen said he is just uncomfortable with the tourist portion of the Commission and added that maybe two separate entities are needed. City Attorney Hays noted that the ordinance would have to be rewritten if Council wishes to form two commissions. Council Member Carter emphasized that the proposed Commission could bring these issues before the other people outside the City to get the regional focus. Mayor Fulton stated that the Director of the Chamber of Commerce spoke with him and said he felt members of the Council should meet with him and discuss the overlap in visitor information. Dr. Fulton said he pictured that the Commission would deal with those kinds of issues. He asked what would be gained from a two week delay. Council Member Carter said he would like to see the Commission go forward because he would like to see some of these questions answered as soon as possible. MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member Fulton that Ordinance No. l784 be adopted, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Title 2--Administration and Personnel--of the Redding Municipal Code by adding Chapter 2.50: Tourism and Convention Commission. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Carter, Johannessen and Fulton Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - Dahl and Gard Ordinance No. l784 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. REQUEST FOR STREET RENAMING - "Tahoe Court" to "Stankus Court" (S-070-230) Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo- randum to Council dated October l6, l986, which is incorporated herein by reference. He stated that the applicant has requested that "Tahoe Court," located in the Mountain Lakes Industrial Park, be renamed to "Stankus Court." Mr. Perry advised that the Planning Commission unanimously recommended denial of the renaming of this street. Mr. Perry advised that the Municipal Code requires that a street shall not be named after a business. It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that the request be denied. If the Council decides that the name should be changed it will be necessary to have the City Attorney prepare a resolution, giving the effective date of the name change and providing notification to the County Clerk and affected agencies. Council Member Carter asked Mr. Stankus if there is any way he could change the name of his corporation. He said he doesn't think there is anything in the Code that would prevent someone from naming a street after the owner of the property. Adolph Stankus, P. O. Box 3l00, felt as long as he is purchasing the property and building on the property, it is not a code violation to name the street after himself. He noted that there are no other businesses on Tahoe Court right now. Mr. Stankus said the proposed building will be a very nice addition to the community and their revenue is approaching $l million per year. In response to an inquiry from Mayor Fulton, Mr. Stankus said his reasons for requesting the name change is because he likes his name and for promotional reasons. City Attorney Hays advised that the ownership of the property is not what the Code Section addresses. He said the Code addresses the name of the business. Council Member Carter felt this could open up the door to a lot of street name changes. MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Carter that the request to rename Tahoe Court to Stankus Court, be denied. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS (B-080-l50-800) Planning and Community Development Director Perry advised that in November, the City's progress in meeting the recommendation of the Economic Development Task Force will be reviewed. He submitted a list of recommendations and what has been accomplished to date. No action was required on this matter. PROPOSED REVISION TO GRADING ORDINANCE (C-ll0-l00) Assistant City Engineer Lang reviewed the staff memorandum to Council dated October l6, l986, which is incorporated herein by reference. He submitted for consideration the draft Grading Ordinance and a resolu- tion in accordance with Section l6.040.070 thereof pertaining to permit fees. Mr. Lang explained that public hearings were held on the draft ordinance by the Planning Commission, study sessions were held with Council Members, and staff has met with a local civil engineer to discuss certain questions he had about the draft. Mr. Lang explained that the Western Shasta Resource Conservation District offered recommendations for changing the wording in certain sections of the draft grading ordinance. He advised that staff is presently reviewing these recommendations. Mr. Lang reviewed the major differences between the existing grading ordinance and the draft grading ordinance. It is the recommendation of staff that a public hearing be set to consider the draft grading ordinance and the resolution pertaining to permit fees, for 7:00 P.M., November l7, l986. Council Member Carter said he has some concerns about the proposed ordinance and would like to set a public hearing. MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member Johannessen, setting a public hearing for 7:00, November l7, l986. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RESOLUTION - re Promotional Funding Agreement with Shasta-Cascade Wonderland Association, Inc. (B-l30-030-700) City Attorney Hays submitted the proposed Promotional Funding Agree- ment, together with a resolution approving the agreement. He said these documents represent a routine extension of an agreement with the Shasta-Cascade Wonderland Association which has been ongoing for several years. Under the terms of this agreement, the City will pay $l0,780 to them for promotion of the Redding area during the fiscal year l986-87. Mr. Hays advised that all other terms and conditions of the agreement remain the same as in previous years. Council Member Johannessen said the reason he wanted to talk about this item is because of the question of tourism promotion that was discussed earlier. He emphasized that the Shasta-Cascade Wonderland Association has done a tremendous job over the years and he felt that Council should enlarge the funding for that purpose. Mr. Johannessen said he would like to look at this funding a little closer before agreeing to the recommended amount. Council Member Carter indicated that he was a member of this organiza- tion for l8 years and concurs that they do a very good job of promot- ing this area. He said this organization deserves all the help it can get. City Attorney Hays noted that holding this over deprives them of funding that they could have now. He said Council could always go back at some future time and authorize more funds. MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Carter that Resolution No. 86-289 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving the promotional funding agreement between the City of Redding and the Shasta-Cascade Wonderland Association, Inc. and authorizing the Mayor to sign same.
