WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
Request from Ebenezer Scrooge - re Support in Discouraging the Busi-
ness Community from participation in the Second Annual Christmas
Decoration Contest
(A-050-060)
A letter was received from Ebenezer Scrooge requesting the Council's
support of their efforts to discourage the business community from
participating in the second annual Christmas decoration contest. He
requested time to personally appear.
Mr. Scrooge appeared before Council at this time to plea his case. He
announced that he does not make himself merry at Christmas and doesn't
think the merchants should make their customers merry with Christmas
decorations and the like. Mr. Scrooge felt that Christmas is for
scavengers, sycophants, and hypocrites, and that only prevaricating
frauds decorate at Christmas.
Mr. Scrooge encouraged Council's support of these efforts by adopting
an ordinance prohibiting the celebration of Christmas this year.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen that Mr. Scrooge's request be adamantly denied and that
the City Council wholeheartedly support the second annual Christmas
decoration contest. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Letter from Jeff Roake - Thanking the City Council for its Support of
the Vulcan Tour
(A-050-060 and P-0l0-050)
A letter was received from Jeff Roake, representing the Vulcan Tour,
expressing his heartfelt thanks to Mayor Fulton and the other members
of the City Council for their support and guidance for the Vulcan
Tour. Mr. Roake explained that in l987, the Vulcan Tour will be
bringing more foreign stars and adding a series of events for women.
He applauded the Council's efforts and emphasized that the
organization can't put this race on without its continued support.
Council Member Carter said he followed the Tour this year and felt it
was an exceptional event and will continue to be one of Redding's
great happenings.
Parade Request - Redding Chamber of Commerce
(P-0l0-050)
A request was received from the Greater Redding Chamber of Commerce
asking Council's approval to hold their 5th Annual Christmas Parade,
on December 5th, l986, at 6:30 P.M.
City Clerk Nichols advised that this request has the approval of the
Chief of Police.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Dahl approving the request of the Redding Chamber of Commerce
as stated above. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Letters from Archer Pugh and Alan Swanson - re Overcrowding Fees for
Shasta Lake Union Elementary School District
(L-0l0-l70)
A letter was received from Archer Pugh, representing Knighten Con-
struction, requesting reconsideration of the resolution adopted
authorizing mitigation fees for Shasta Lake Union Elementary School
District.
A letter was also received from Alan Swanson, representing the school
district, requesting that the City cease collecting developer's fees
in the District effective December 3l, l986, due to the enactment of
Assembly Bill 2926. This bill modifies existing statutes to permit
the levying by school districts of "developer's fees".
Arch Pugh, l300 West Street, questioned some of the points in the
Planning Director's memorandum to Council dated October 3l, l986. He
said it was his understanding that the District's estimated cost of the building was reduced and therefore the fees were reduced. Mr.
Pugh requested that Council reconsider that issue and review the
calculations to be sure that the amount being charged to the develop-
ers is the cost the District is incurring to provide the space for the
school children. He asked that the funds now being collected be
escrowed pending that determination. He contended that the numbers
being presented are far too high.
City Attorney Hays said he is not sure that the City Could escrow
these fees and added that they are remitted directly to the school
district. He noted that the fees collected through the end of Decem-
ber will not amount to a great deal and suggested that staff be
directed to prepare a resolution discontinuing the fees effective
December 3l, l986.
Mr. Pugh noted that his main concern is that, if it is determined that
these fees should be reduced, the refunds can be recaptured.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry commented that by
the time a new public hearing is set and recalcu-lations are completed,
it will be close to the end of the year. He felt the amount of
benefit for this short period of time to Mr. Pugh and his client does
not warrant the amount of staff time involved in these recalculations.
Mr. Perry noted that Council's roll in this was to concur with the
District's calculations and added that the questions being brought up
by Mr. Pugh should have been brought up during the public hearing.
Mr. Pugh contended that it was brought up but not addressed.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen directing staff to prepare a resolution to cease collect-
ing developer's fees in the District effective December 3l, l986. The
Vote: Unanimous Ayes
In response to an inquiry from Council Member Dahl, Mr. Pugh advised
that he has not addressed the School District as yet. Mr. Pugh stated
that he will meet with the School District and staff if the Council
decides to reconsider this issue.
Mayor Fulton directed Mr. Perry to work with Mr. Pugh and the School
District on this matter.
Letter from Matt and Meg Grotting - re Parking Fine in the Downtown
Mall
(P-030-l60 and M-0l0-200)
A letter was received from Matt and Meg Grotting objecting to the
restricted parking area in the Downtown Mall. They suggested that a
better solution to the problem would be to have a police officer spot
check the parking lot and give tickets to those who are littering and
loitering.
With the concurrence of Council, Mayor Fulton referred this matter to
the Traffic and Parking Commission for a report back in two weeks if
possible.
Letter of Appreciation - re Planning Department and Staff
(A-050-250)
A letter was received from Pete Fogarty, representing Motel 6, compli-
menting the Planning Department for its recent assistance in obtaining
a use permit. He said their response to his questions was always
immediate and precise, and he added a special thanks to Doug DeMallie
and Kent Manuel for their special patience and understanding.
Letter from Arch Pugh - re Abatement of Cascade Hotel
(A-030-070)
Archer Pugh, l300 West Street, representing Bill Cox, submitted a
letter asking that the action to abate the building at l283 California
Street (Cascade Hotel), be stayed for a period of at least 30 days.
Mr. Pugh advised that his client has completed and submitted plans to
the Building Department; however they will not accept fees until the
Council authorizes them to do so. He noted that the plans have been
reviewed and signed by Frank Blomquist, Engineer.
Mr. Pugh stated that they have reviewed other buildings in the area,
and feel that the Cascade Hotel deserves to be rebuilt. He said the
structure is much more sound than the Guibbani building on Market
Street, which is presently being restored. Mr. Pugh stated that the
building has been secured and added that an application has been
submitted to the State of California for historical status.
Mr. Pugh asked that Council extend the resolution requiring the
demolition within 30 days, to allow time for the plan review process.
Mayor Fulton noted that it does sound like progress is being made. He
asked the City Attorney if the Council could extend the time limit for
demolition.
City Attorney Hays advised that if the Council desires, it can do
that. However, he noted that if Mr. Pugh plans to continue his
lobbying process based on the historical value of the building, the
State has said it takes a year to complete its evaluation.
Council Member Carter noted that the only reason he would vote to
extend the time is if Mr. Cox could show that the construction will
take place soon.
Mr. Pugh stated that if Council extends this, he will be in tomorrow
to pay the permit fees. He noted that building permits are required
to be used within six months.
City Attorney Hays stated that it was reported to him that the build-
ing was open again.
Mr. Perry commented that one of his staff members visited the building
today and found that it was open. Mr. Perry also noted that a vari-
ance will be required before the building could be used for the
intended use.
Mr. Hays suggested that Mr. Cox provide insurance to hold the City
harmless.
Council Member Johannessen commented that his decision to vote for the
abatement was not to get Mr. Cox's attention, but to eliminate a
safety hazard. He said he is not sure of the legal ramifications if the process is stopped now.
Mr. Perry advised that the plan check would not be done until the
variance is approved. He said the variance would take about 45 days.
Mr. Pugh emphasized that they submitted plans and paid the engineering
fees to show good faith that they do intend to restore the building.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member
Dahl that a 60 day grace period be granted on the abatement of pro-
perty located at l283 California Street subject to the following
conditions:
l.
An insurance certificate or bond be provided to be approved
by the City Attorney.
2.
That the building be secured.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Dahl, Carter, and Fulton
Noes: Council Members - Johannessen
Absent: Council Members - Gard
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 public
hearing re establishment of a parking and business improvement area in
downtown Redding.
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 3l, l986. He explained that this is a continued public
hearing on the proposed Parking and Business Area (PBIA). It is
staff's recommendation that this public hearing be used only for
public comment and discussion, and that the hearing be continued to
December l, l986, for a final public hearing and action on the PBIA.
Mr. McNeill noted that another important purpose of this hearing is
for the Council to determine if any further changes should be made in
the proposed PBIA. He explained that a response form was attached to
the mailer sent out on October l5, l986. He noted that the response
form, protests or comments by letter, petition, or oral testimony at
this public hearing or the hearing on December l, l986, are equally
valid. Mr. McNeill submitted an analysis of Response Forms received
as of 5:00 P.M., today. He summarized the comments received about the
proposed PBIA. Mr. McNeill explained that a further report will be
submitted for the December l, l986, public hearing.
Steve Swendiman, representing the Post Office Saloon (Zone A), said he
was one of the original conceivers of this concept about two years
ago. He said a committee was formed and it was decided that there was
a need to expand the interest beyond the Downtown Mall. Mr. Swendiman
said the committee asked other cities how they revitalized their downtown areas and emphasized that a lot of hard work went into
formulating the concept of the proposed PBIA. He felt it is important
to maintain the downtown as the historical part of Redding. He
encouraged Council to listen carefully to the concerns of the business
owners.
Chuck Zink, representing Numismetic Values, Inc. (Zone A), opposed the
PBIA. He said he agrees they need a downtown business improvement
district but not a tax. Mr. Zink felt it should be voluntary to
improve what the downtown already has. He submitted a petition of
business owners in the Mall and contended that it contained more than
the necessary 5l% to defeat the proposal. Mr. Zink said he questions
the legality of dissolving the existing assessment in the Downtown
Mall without voting on it.
Robert Small, l604 Market Street (Zone A), supported the PBIA. He
felt this is a chance to do something really exciting in downtown
Redding. He emphasized that thousands of people-hours have been spent
studying this proposal and he felt they have come up with the frame-
work for a good plan. Mr. Small maintained that a mandatory district
is needed because involvement in the Downtown Mall has gone steadily
down hill. He pointed out the need for a well-billed marketing
campaign such as what is occurring across the river, and added that
according to Sarah James' report, the Downtown Mall's share of the
retail trade has dropped 75% in the last ten years.
Council Member Johannessen stressed the importance of widely dis-
tributing the findings of Sarah James, the Market Consultant hired by
the City to conduct a retail study in the downtown.
Boyd Alvord, 2747 Panorama Drive, co-owner of l20,000 square feet of
leasable area in the Downtown Mall, supported the PBIA. He emphasized
that he does not feel that any major development can operate without a
manager to guide the thoughts of the merchants and to be governed by
those merchants. Mr. Alvord said voluntary work is great but people
get tired and it does not work after a while. He stated that he would
like to see the downtown area as a viable center and the hub of
Redding.
Barry Dobrowsky, l524 Market Street (Zone A), supported the PBIA. He
conveyed that he was originally opposed to the district, but the
people on the committee have been eager to make changes to satisfy the
businesses in the district and to allow the people to run the district
rather than the government. Mr. Dobrowsky felt that it is important
to have professional management that is paid, and that the district
can be designed to work out for everybody.
Don Peery, Executive Director of the Private Industry Council (Zone
A), supports the PBIA. He said the PIC has donated office space,
telephones, and clerical help for this project and plans to continue
to support the revitalization of the downtown area. Mr. Peery
stressed that the downtown area should be one of the reasons to take
pride in Redding.
Sim Nathan, 2855 Shasta Street (Zone A), supports the PBIA. He said
they get very little support for the existing Downtown Mall Asso-
ciation and a few are carrying the load. For this reason, Mr. Nathan
felt that a voluntary organization would not work. He emphasized the
need for continued help in the downtown area so that everybody can be
proud of the history of downtown Redding. Mr. Nathan felt that 90% of
the businesses would be across the river by now if the City had done
nothing about downtown.
Jack Buffum, owner of the Lady Lorenz (Zone B), opposed the PBIA. He
did not feel that the downtown needs to be a total retail core. He
felt that the proposal as mailed to business owners was unclear and
unreasonable and that everybody should vote on whether or not they
want the district. Mr. Buffum felt it is a real frustration that the
people in the outlying areas are not being heard.
John Kenny, representing Moss & Enochian (Zone B), supports the PBIA.
He felt it is a modest proposal to address a very great need. Mr.
Kenny said it is reasonable to expect opposition and felt the people
are expecting far too much up front. He felt the Council should
support action where action is necessary.
Gary Smith, l557 Pine Street (Zone B), submitted a petition asking to
be excluded from the PBIA. He stated that l9 of 22 businesses have
signed the petition. Mr. Smith emphasized that they don't want to pay
taxes and they don't want the City to say what they should do. They
want to do it on their own, he said. Mr. Smith felt the Council
should seriously consider the people who want it and the people who
don't.
Kathleen Dicker, marketing director for Redding Title (Zone B),
supported the PBIA. She said her company has made a long term commit-
ment to the downtown and they are committed to the need for a paid
manager for a much-needed program for the downtown area.
Scott Thompson, representing Thompson's Mens Store (Zone B), supports
the PBIA. He felt Redding is going through a time of passages and
with this improvement district, the downtown has a chance for better
things.
Gary Engell, l365 Market Street (Zone B), supports the PBIA. He said
the fees that will be charged are minimal and pointed out that there
is a clause in the agreement that says that if it doesn't work in five
years, it will be ended. Mr. Engle emphasized that benefits will go
to each zone; however, Zone C is the largest zone. He felt the
district will attract people to the whole downtown area.
Harold Fletcher, l747 Market Street (Zone B), opposed the PBIA. He
said he does not want to be controlled by an organization. He noted
that much of that property is owned by absentee owners who really
don't care about revitalizing downtown. Mr. Fletcher said he will get
no benefit from the district and felt the people involved should be
self-involved.
Kirk Dright, owns approximately 80,000 square feet of commercial space
in Zones B and C, and supports the PBIA. He said his partnerships
have concluded that this is the most cost effective way to improve the
downtown area. He felt it is an important program for the continued
health of downtown Redding and deserves Council's approval.
Tony Labella, A-l Loan, l757 California Street, said he doesn't want
to be forced into the district.
Andy Kirnberger, Redding Water Beds on Pine Street (Zone B), said some
type of proposal is needed, but there seems to be a lot of unanswered
questions here. He agreed that management is needed; however, he felt
the wording needs to be made simpler so that they know exactly what it
means.
Doug Chickering, 275 Hilltop Drive, Project Coordinator for the
Downtown Redding Business Association, explained that some questions
that have been brought up should be answered. He explained that the
clause which allows the Board to borrow money without limit is not
something that is expected to happen. Mr. Chickering explained that
the Board will study of the types of projects they want to get in-
volved in. He said they cannot have all the answers up front. Mr.
Chickering stated that their general premise is that the core section
be a mixed use project. Mr. Chickering added that the height limit
needs to be increased somewhat in order to get the retail densities
up.
Mr. Chickering referred to the petition from Mr. Zink and advised that
it should be looked at closely. He also commented that the voluntary
program has been tried and urged Council not to consider this option.
Mr. Chickering emphasized that the project needs an assured financial
base.
Cheryl Calhoon, l805 Market Street, Bank of California (Zone C), said
they have been a participating member of the Downtown Redding Business
Association since its inception and they support the PBIA. They want
Redding to be a City with a heart.
Gary Klatt, l552 Yuba Street (Zone C), opposed the PBIA. He felt that
most cities are responsible for maintaining streets and keeping them
clean, and it is not normally the function of a special district. He
objected to the wording in the questionaire that states that if you
don't return it, you are counted as a yes vote. Mr. Klatt felt there
are more people opposed to the district than in favor of it. He
requested a vote of those people involved.
Don Davis, l246 East Street (Zone C), supports the PBIA. He said he
has seen what office beautification can do for business and also what
apathy can do to discourage business. Mr. Davis felt that downtown
Redding deserves to be beautified.
Mike Arnold, l708 Placer (Zone C), supports the PBIA. He believes
this program could improve the quality of life in the downtown and
urged that the Council look very closely at the figures. Mr. Arnold
felt that there are problems in the downtown that need to be resolved
and this program can help make it work.
Mary Jane Landis, l656 Yuba (Zone C), supports the PBIA. She said she
has been work with the committee for the PBIA and feels it is a large
value to the entire area including the surrounding area. Ms. Landis
pointed out that volunteer organizations largely fail in their goals.
Bill Morrison, l752 Oregon Street (Zone C), opposes the PBIA. He felt private property owners should be the ones to make the determination
whether or not to beautify their buildings. He submitted a petition
and indicated that it has been certified by the City Attorney's
office.
Deputy City Attorney McNeill stated that he verified the petition. He
noted that there was a high degree of overlap between the response
forms and the petition, but very few of the businesses were invalid.
Mr. McNeill indicated that the valid signatures were incorporated into
the spread sheet he submitted to Council this evening.
Mr. Morrison stated that they have been against the district since its
inception and many merchants feel it is being forced on them. He felt
that if this were a viable project, it would have been in place a long
time ago. Mr. Morrison felt this will tend to raise prices and drive
business out of town. He emphasized that the budget needs to be
worked on and noted that there is no provision for insurance.
Frank Wilson, l803 Placer (Zone C), opposed the PBIA, although he
feels something is needed. He felt he should not be forced to be a
participant when the City should be maintaining and improving the
area. Mr. Wilson stated that he is too far removed from the core to
receive any benefit.
Joyce Small, l246 Small (Zone C), supports the PBIA. She said they
came from Los Altos where they paid similar assessments but it was
worth it. She said they are happy to pay the $l0 to $l5 per month
because they feel it will make a difference.
Pacific Legal Foundation, representing Bill Morrison, said the project
violates Proposition l3. He contended that this is not an assessment
but a tax and because it is a tax, it requires a 2/3 vote for ap-
proval.
City Attorney Hays advised that Proposition l3 dealt with property tax
and not this type of circumstance. He felt there is adequate author-
ity that indicates an advalorem tax is appropriate.
Frank Yanello, Arlene's Cafe (Zone C), supports the PBIA. He felt
this is much too important to the City of Redding to meet its early
demise. He felt many of the merchants are uninformed about the
proposal. Mr. Yanello felt that those who are in favor are motivated
by their love for Redding. He suggested that the information has not
been distri-buted properly and added that he heard from the group two
years ago and has not heard anything since. Mr. Yanello said he has
heard conflicting stories about what criteria will be used to cal-
culate the 5l%. He urged that the City should hire a professional
coordinator who knows what he is doing and will do it honestly.
Pat Miller, Miller Oldsmobile (Zone C), said they are very much in
favor of the project.
Bert Meyer, Meyer Motels (Zone C), and represents the Redding Hotel/-
Motel Association, expressed his support of the PBIA.
David Shoffner, owner of Der Wienerschnitzel (Zone C), supports the
district. He felt downtown Redding will benefit from the PBIA because
similar districts have been very successful in other cities. Mr.
Shoffner felt there will be a continual decline in the downtown area
if something is not done. He pointed out that at least four meetings
have been held on this program and they are trying to satisfy the
needs of everybody in the district. Mr. Shoffner indicated that they
have only recently found out about the petitions opposing the district
and felt that most of the opposition comes from misinformation.
In response to a question from Chuck Zink regarding the percentage it
takes to pass the proposal, Mr. McNeill advised that the percentage
must be 5l% of the amount of the assessments which will be paid.
Mr. McNeill explained the procedure for counting the non-responses and
pointed out that this is the appropriate time for Council to make any
changes in the proposed PBIA.
Council Member Carter said he would like to see more tabulations and a
greater consensus before he makes a decision.
Council Member Dahl said he would like to take the information re-
ceived this evening and consider it for the next few weeks.
Mayor Fulton suggested that any additional information should be given
to Mr. McNeill no later than Monday, November l0.
With the concurrence of Council, Mayor Fulton declared the meeting
adjourned to 7:00 P.M., December l, l986.
OLSTEN AWARD - for Records Management Programs
(A-050-055)
City Clerk Nichols advised that the City Clerk's office was notified
that the City of Redding would received the Special Recognition Award
at the Association of Records Management and Administrators awards in
Kansas City, Missouri on October 7, l986. She explained that this was
the top award for Cities or agencies that develop an outstanding
records management program with limited resources.
Mrs. Nichols gave special recognition to the employees who prepared
the winning application as follows: Loxy Morgan, Records Management
Coordinator, Alene Barzin, Data Processing Programmer/Analyst, Marta
Stevens, Word Processing Trainer, Jim Coats, Engineering Technician,
and Ron Pennington, Accountant. She presented this award to the City
Council with a request that it be displayed prominently to remind us
all of what can be accomplished by local talent and team work.
Mayor Fulton stressed that the City is very appreciative of Mrs.
Nichols, and she and her department deserve a great deal of credit for
all its work.
Council Member Johannessen pointed out that the firms in competition
for this award were very substantial firms.
PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Conditions of Approval for Tentative
Subdivision Map S-3-83, Western Ranches, No. 9
(S-l00-785)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the public hearing re the appeal of conditions of approval for Tentative Subdivi-
sion Map S-3-83, Western Ranches, No. 9.
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 and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated October 3l, l986, which is incorporated herein
by reference. He stated that the applicant has submitted a letter
appealing one of the conditions of approval of the above-referenced
map, which grants Ron Mygrant permission to divide l8.6 acres located
between Alta Mesa Drive and Saratoga Drive and north of El Verano
Street into 34 single-family lots. The letter of appeal requests
deletion or amendment of Condition No. 20, which requires payment of
$l,l35 per lot to be used for the construction of Shasta View Drive.
Mr. Perry explained that the appeal was received after the Planning
Commission granted a one-year extension of approval of the tentative
map on September 23, l986.
Maps of the area were shown on the Vu Graph and Mr. Perry reviewed the
history of the project. He explained that the applicant has stated
that the fee should be reduced because the standards applied by the
City are inconsistent with the standards applied for construction of
Victor Avenue.
It is the recommendation of staff that the appeal be denied. Mr.
Perry explained that the planned development of Shasta View Drive is
for a four-lane street and the new development in the area will create
the need for the new street. He pointed out that any shortfall in
funds for construction of the road will have to be covered by the
City's general fund. Mr. Perry added that the City is responsible for
acquisition of right-of-way on both Victor Avenue and Shasta View
Drive where the County allowed small residential lots to front the
street, traffic signals, coordination of street planning, and par-
ticipation in an interchange at Highway 44.
Ron Mygrant, 44l4 Saratoga Drive, said he supports the building of
Shasta View Drive and a benefit area to build it. He said is sole
objection is the amount he is being required to pay and the formula
used. Mr. Mygrant felt a double standard is being used between Victor
Avenue and Shasta View Drive. He said Shasta View serves the commun-
ity at large.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Carter that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Dahl asked about the contention that the standards are
different for Victor Avenue and Shasta View. Mr. Perry explained that
Victor was based on two lanes, while Shasta View was based on four
lanes.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen that the appeal of Condition No. 20, Tentative Subdivision
Map S-3-83, be denied.
Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Dahl, Johannessen, and Fulton
Noes: Council Members - Carter
Absent: Council Members - Gard
PUBLIC HEARING - re Rezoning Application RZ-l7-86, by the 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-l7-86, by City of Redding.
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 30, l986
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated October 30, l986. He stated that the Planning
Commission recommended approval of a minor zoning boundary adjustment
of the "RM-6" zoning on property located at l850 Lake Boulevard. Mr.
Perry noted that the rezoning is proposed by the City to make the
zoning line consistent with an approved parcel map on the property.
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that the
property be rezoned as outlined, that a negative declaration be
ratified and an ordinance be offered for first reading.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Carter that Council make the following findings relative to Rezoning
Application RZ-l7-86, by City of Redding:
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, ratifies the Negative Declaration approved by the Board of
Adminis-trative Review on September 24, l986. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
Council Member Dahl offered Ordinance No. l786 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-l7-86).
PUBLIC HEARING - re Resolution of Public Convenience and Necessity to
Condemn Property Owned by Stella May Benton Known as the Lake Redding
Golf Course
(C-070-0l0)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the public hearing re acquisition of property owned by Stella May Benton, known
as Lake Redding Golf Course.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
City Attorney Hays advised that the City has been unable to negotiate
a purchase price with Mrs. Benton within the parameters of an ap-
praisal prepared for the City. He explained that it is, therefore,
necessary to proceed with condemnation proceedings to acquire the
property for park and open space purposes.
A copy of Mrs. Benton's letter was submitted and an appearance has
been requested at the hearing, either by Mrs. Benton or her represen-
tative.
It is the recommendation of the City Attorney that the City Council
approve a Resolution of Public Convenience and Necessity.
Len Wingate, representing Mrs. Benton, pointed out that the Code says
no golf course can be acquired by eminent domain. He requested that
Council not exercise this power and deny the request.
City Attorney Hays stated that the City is not going to operate a golf
course and Mrs. Benton owns the land, not the golf course. He said
she has given up that right and the golf course is being operated by
private enterprise.
Mr. Wingate contended that the lease requires that the lessee use the
property for a golf course and therefore she is the owner of the golf
course.
Council Member Johannessen said he finds it very difficult to justify
taking private land for any reason. He wondered if a binding arbi-
tration could be used in this matter.
Council Member Carter said he would like to see legal briefs from the
City Attorney and Mr. Wingate on this matter.
Mr. Hays stated that there is no precedent that says you cannot
acquire land where someone else operates a golf course.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, that the two attorneys prepare
briefs on the matter and defer action for two weeks.
This motion died for lack of a second.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Fulton that that Resolution No. 86-303 be adopted, a resolution of the
City Council of the City of Redding finding that public convenience
and necessity require the acquisition of certain real property inter-
ests for public improvements, to wit, for park and open space purposes
(Stella May Benton).
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Carter, Dahl and Fulton
Noes: Council Members - Johannessen
Absent: Council Members - Gard
This motion died for lack of a 4/5 vote.
Council Member Johannessen said he feels there may still be room for
negotiation with Mrs. Benton.
Mayor Fulton directed the City Attorney to proceed with active nego-
tiations and bring back a recommendation to the full Council.
REQUEST CONCERNING REDDING GUN CLUB
(C-070-0l0)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated October 27, l986. He stated that the City
Council has set this time to consider a proposal by the Redding Gun
Club to modify and expand the existing firing range at Benton Airpark
into a public regional firing range. Mr. Perry explained that the
proposal includes a request to convert the current month-to-month
lease of the property to a 40-year lease. He submitted a project
description of the proposal incorporated into the draft environmental
assessment, including site plan, zoning, General Plan, and land use
maps, as well as other supporting documents.
It is the recommendation of staff that the following actions be taken:
l. The proposed expansion be denied,
2. The month-to-month lease be terminated on May l, l987,
3. Direct the City Manager to determine if the gun club, County,
State, and Federal agencies would be interested in establishing a
consortium to finance an alternate site study.
Council Member Johannessen felt that equal attention should be given
to the Gun Club as to establishing a ball park. He said that t
regaional facility should be developed.
Public Works Director Arness noted that he does not feel that the
landfill can work around the Gun Club for any longer than six months.
Bill Woodward, l095 Hillcrest, Redding Recreational Shooting Asso-
ciation, said the Gun Club has been operating in a safe manner for
many years, at no expense to the City. He noted that the Club has
maintained its own insurance and does not depend on public funds to
operate. Mr. Woodward felt it is a very valuable recreational facil-
ity for the City. He said the Parks and Recreation Department is very
enthusiastic about this idea. Mr. Woodward felt their present loca-
tion could still be used as an interim location until a new location
is found.
Hal Gibbs, 2923 Starlight Blvd., said he represents the neighbors who
are in opposition to the proposed expansion. He said they all recog-
nize the need for a shooting facility; however, the present facility
does not seem to be the place for an expanded range. Mr. Gibbs said
he is concerned about the City's liability and pointed out that the
lease was supposed to be terminated in l974. He asked that the lease
be terminated.
Steve Gastin, 804 Springer Drive, felt that the land could be better used for a park facility.
William Midwell, 2062 Lake Blvd., opposed the expansion of the Gun
Club at its current location.
Marshall Gordon, l40l Alrose, a member of the Gun Club, felt the Gun
Club should be maintained and that a buffer zone should be provided.
He said the Gun Club is a safe environment for shooting.
Council Member Dahl stressed that, in all fairness to the Gun Club,
the residents, and staff, it is time to make a decision. He em-
phasized that the Gun Club is not compatible with the development
around it.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Carter that:
l. The expansion of the Gun Club be denied,
2.
The month-to-month lease be extended for a period of six
months,
3.
City staff be directed to help in the location of a site for
a new regional firing facility.

paign for State Controller.
Mayor Fulton directed that a letter of appreciation be sent to Senator

REPORT OF VICE MAYOR DAHL - re All-America City Award
(B-080-l50-800)
Council Member Dahl advised that Shasta County has been chosen as one
of l6 finalists in the 37th Annual All-America Cities Awards competi-
tion, and noted that the application is based on the work of the
Economic Development Task Force during the past eighteen months. Mr.
Dahl asked for Council's permission to be a member of the delega-tion
going to Kansas City on November 9, l986, to make the oral presenta-
tion to the All-America Jury.
Council Members concurred that being a finalist for this award is a
very great honor and supported Mr. Dahl's attendance at the conference
in Kansas City.
ORDINANCE - re City Council Compensation
(A-050-060 and P-l00-320)
City Manager Courtney advised that the Government Code provides a
procedure whereby Redding City Council members have the opportunity to
take action to increase their compensation from $200 per month to $500
per month prior to December 3l, l986.
Mr. Courtney advised that a ordinance has been prepared, and it would
be appropriate to offer this ordinance for first reading. Second
reading of the ordinance would be scheduled for November l7, l986, at
which time the merits of this increase in compensation may be debated.
Council Member Carter offered Ordinance No. l787 for first reading, an
ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Chapter
2.04 of the Redding Municipal Code--City Council--by revising Section
2.04.0l0.
ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT PROJECT STATUS REPORT - November l986

INITIATE REZONING FOR PENDING ANNEXATIONS
(A-l50 and L-0l0-230)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated October 28, l986. He stated that at the LAFCO
meeting of October l6, l986, new environmental requirements were
adopted, including the requirement that all properties in current and
future annexations be prezoned by the City before annexation occurs.
Mr. Perry explained that presently, upon annexation an area is essen-
tially automatically zoned "U" Unclassified District.
Mr. Perry explained the options available to Council and noted that
they have suggested that LAFCO hold a workshop to review how the
requirement could be implemented.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council initiate rezoning for
the annexations which have not yet been approved by LAFCO, but for
which proceedings have been commenced. It is also recommended that
other areas in proximity to these areas, such as Wooded Acres South
and Wooded Acres North, be included together to reduce future costs
where it is obvious that the zoning will not likely change.
A status report on current annexations and a graph depicting the trend
of annexation activity during the past ten year period was submitted.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen approving the recommendation of staff as stated above.
The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

REQUEST FROM VIACOM - re Use of Public Access Channel
(T-040-050)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry advised that a
letter was received from Viacom asking for use of the public access
channel from 6:00 P.M., to 8:00 P.M. to air a home marketing service.
It is the recommendation of staff that, pursuant to Section 6.40.050
(E)(7) of the City Code that the request be approved subject to the
following provisions:
l. If a public access channel user specifically requests an evening
viewing time, that request shall be given first priority on a
one-time basis for a show between the hours of 7:00 P.M. and 9:00
P.M., if the user is willing to advertise the program by publish-
ing a display page ad in the newspaper.
2. That this arrangement would terminate or need to be extended when
the 35-channel upgrade is completed.
3. In the event public access staff is on line prior to the 35-chan-
nel upgrade, they can obtain the 6:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. time slot
by giving Viacom 30 days written notice in advance.
It is the opinion of staff that Public, Education, or Governmental
channels that are underutilized should be available for other program-
ming until such time as needed.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen approving the recommendation of staff as stated above.

information, the preliminary engineering study prepared by PACE
Engineering for the Sacramento River Trail pedestrian bridge. Cost
estimates range from $l50,000 to $l65,000.
Mr. Perry explained that staff will review the report; develop spe-
cific recommendations on bridge type, floodplain considerations,
aesthetics, and overall costs to complete the trail loop; submit it
for review by appropriate agencies; and complete the environmental
review process. He said once the environmental review process is

PUBLIC WORKS PLANNING REPORTS - November l986
(A-050-300)

SEWER DEVELOPMENT FEES
(W-020-590)
Public Works Director Arness submitted a memorandum to Council dated
October 29, l986, which is incorporated herein by reference, concern-
ing sewer development fees. He advised that in April, he gave each
Council Member a report covering the funding needs of the existing
Clear Creek regional sewage collection and treatment system. In that
report, Mr. Arness indicated that the system was at 75% of hydraulic
design capacity and that the plant will be at capacity in the early
l990's. He stated that recent tests suggest that this statement may
be optimistic.
Mr. Arness presented a funding plan and and recommendation. He
advised that this draft plan obviously needs reviewing. Mr. Arness
felt that the public will support a minor increase in MSSC to plan and
build, in an orderly manner, system improvements; but growth will have
to fund the bulk of the costs. He asked for comments and suggested
discussing the plan on December l, l986.
No action was required at this time.
