PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Tentative Subdivision Map S-1-87 Churn
Creek Heights, by Francis Yanni (east of Arizona Street and west of
Churn Creek)
(S-100-084)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Dahl opened the public
hearing re Appeal of Tentative Subdivision Map S-1-87 Churn Creek
Heights.
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 May 14, 1987
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed the memo-
randum to Council dated May 14, 1987. Mr. Perry stated that the
Planning Commission previously gave permission to Mr. Wallace Baker,
the developer, to subdivide 14.4 acres into 58 single-family residen-
tial lots. Access to the subdivision is via an extension of Arizona Street, and approximately 800 feet of off-site road improvements on
Arizona Street were required to be provided by the developer. The
secondary access is a connection to Gordon Lane. Mr. Perry noted that
the appeal is addressing the issue of access to Gordon Lane; and the
increase in traffic, the potential for Gordon Lane to become a ded-
icated street, who is responsible for street improvements and the
design of the subdivision as approved by the Planning Commission. Mr.
Perry noted that eleven residences currently take their access from
Gordon Lane and have specific rights to that access. It is the
recommendation of staff that Council deny the appeal and retain the
tentative map as approved by the Planning Commission.
In response to an inquiry by Council Member Gard, Mr. Perry stated
that the area has one Native American cultural or sacred site, and the
site has been designated as a park. Mr. Perry explained that a
monitor will be present during earthwork in the subdivision.
Mr. Steve Thomas, 1381 Gordon Lane, proposed that if Gordon Lane is
not improved, then the number of lots in the subdivision be reduced to
30-35. He explained that he is not opposed to the subdivision, but
the proposed lots are smaller than those already in the area. Mr.
Thomas believes that most people will choose to access Gordon Lane,
and it cannot adequately handle increased traffic because it is an
unimproved street. Mr. Thomas stated that he would like to see
improvements made to Gordon Lane.
Mr. Francis Yanni, 1131 & 1135 Gordon Lane, explained that he is not
against development, but there has not been adequate planning for the
area. Mr. Yanni submitted pictures to Council evidencing the condi-
tion of Gordon Lane. He explained that the street has potholes, and
the width is only 12-15 feet in some areas, too narrow for two cars to
pass. Mr. Yanni stated that he does not think a barricade is the
answer.
Council Member Fulton questioned if the property owners on Gordon Lane
have considered an assessment district to improve the street. Mr.
Perry stated that the Planning Commission felt there were too many
property owners involved and this would result in a negative decision.
Mr. Perry pointed out that a chip and seal surface would probably not
last very long.
Ms. Sue Stevens, 4229 Nelson Drive, stated that she is pro-
development. Ms. Stevens emphasized that Gordon Lane is in terrible
condition and should be improved to adequately handle an increase in
traffic.
Mr. Eihnard Diaz, representing Sharrah & Dunlap Associates, stated
that the developer is providing for the area. Street improvements
will be made on Arizona Street, and sewer lines will open up the area
for future development. Improvements to Gordon Lane will then be paid
for by the developers in the immediate area. Mr. Diaz pointed out
that the developer of Churn Creek Heights is paying his fair share.
Mr. Don Cole, P.O. Box 1047 Red Bluff, and property owner on Gordon
Lane, stated that he would like to see more thought put forth toward
forming an assessment district.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
Council Member Johannessen stated that he understands Dr. Yanni's
concern and he is also concerned about maintenance of Gordon Lane
after the subdivision is built. Council Member Johannessen opposed
the use of a barricade to limit access. Mr. Perry noted that the key
to development in the area is the sewer line. Public Works Director
Arness said that he feels very comfortable in stating that the sewer
line will eventually serve Gordon Lane. Council Member Gard stated
that the question is whether a subdivision should be approved with
only one improved entrance and exit.
Council Member Johannessen said what it basically comes down to is if
the area should be developed. He believes the developer has paid his
share; and by putting in the subdivision, the adjacent areas will
probably be developed, and Gordon Lane will be improved at that time.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Fulton, to deny the appeal of Tentative Subdivision Map S-1-87
Churn Creek Heights. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
PUBLIC HEARING - re General Plan Amendment Application GPA-13-86, by
Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company (1050 Dana Drive)
(G-030-010)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Dahl opened the public
hearing re General Plan Amendment Application GPA-13-86.
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 May 14, 1987
Council Member Johannessen noted that he will abstain from discussion
and voting on this issue. Senior Planner Keaney reviewed the
memorandum to Council dated May 14, 1987. The Santa Ana Valley
Irrigation Company (SAVI) requested that 78 acres be reclassified to
"Retail Commercial," "Office," and "Residential, 12.0 units per acre."
The Planning Commission recommended that an additional 54 acres be
incorporated into the amendment and that Environmental Impact Report
EIR-3-81 be certified as adequately addressing the impacts of the
project. Mr. Keaney stated that the main issue is the potential
significant traffic increase and the alignment of future arterial
streets. Secondary issues are resolving the inconsistencies between
the General Plan and existing land use and potential land use
conflicts around the perime-ter of the amendment area.
Staff submitted a Summary of Land Use and Traffic Issues for GPA-13-86
to Council which is incorporated by reference herein. Mr. Keaney
explained that Caltrans is concerned with how this amendment will
impact traffic on State Highway 44 interchanges at both Hilltop Drive
and Victor Avenue. Mr. Keaney stated that staff has received notice
from the State Clearinghouse that OPR believes that the CEQA comment
period remains open until May 28, 1987. It is recommended that the hearing be continued until June 2, 1987 to allow interested State
agencies time for comment prior to an environmental determination.
Charlotte Caldwell, 1590 Dana Drive, asked Council to consider restor-
ing a 12-unit density classification to their property. She noted
that the property was classified 15-units per acre when they purchased
the property, and has since been reduced twice to a 9-unit classifica-
tion.
Fran Kesterson, 1126 Old Alturas Road, stated that he has three acres
located adjacent to the SAVI property and the proposed road alignments
are of special interest to him. Mr. Kesterson submitted a memorandum
dated May 19, 1987 and explained his proposal for the extension of
Browning Street which he feels will serve the community better. He
noted that one of the proposed plans appears to straddle Churn Creek
and its flood plain for about 800 feet. Mr. Kesterson expressed
concern about the natural drainage of the area during heavy rain. He
explained that at the point where this road would straddle Churn
Creek, five ravines or valleys meet which carry heavy loads of run-off
during the seasonal rains.
Elmer Roesner, property owner at Canby and Hilltop, stated that his
property should remain classified as commercial property, not reclas-
sified residential.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Gard, continuing the public hearing regarding General Plan Amendment
Application GPA-13-86, by Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company to 7:00
P.M., June 2, 1987.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Fulton, Gard, and Dahl
Noes: Council Members - None
Absent: Council Members - Carter
Abstain: Council Members - Johannessen

Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed the memo-
randum to Council dated May 12, 1987. Mr. Perry noted that the
applicant is requesting the reclassification of 131 acres from "Res-
idential, 1.0 units per 5 acres" to "Residential, 2.0 units per acre."
The proposed amendment is an extension of the Gold Hills Subdivision
and is keyed to the future development of a 391-unit single-family
subdivision. Mr. Perry explained that Shasta County originally
processed Environmental Impact Report EIR-20-79 for a planned develop-
ment which never materialized; and subsequent to annexation, the City
recertified EIR-20-79 for Gold Hills Subdivision. Mr. Perry stated
that there are two applications being made in the area.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council ratify the EIR, approve
the amendment request and make findings in accordance with Section
15091 of the State Environmental Impact Report Guidelines. Mr. Perry
requested that Council approve in concept the request; and staff will,
at a later date, bring back a resolution for consideration.
Mr. Walter Kent, 10387 Maddelein Lane, Palo Cedro, noted that he
authored the letter read to Council tonight, and stated that he does
not have a problem with the amendment application, but the future
extension of Shasta View Drive, as currently proposed, will divide his
property and destroy its usefulness. He reiterated that existing
easements are already in existence only 200 feet to the east of his
property.
Mr. Perry stated that it is difficult to tell at this point when
Shasta View Drive will extend to Oasis Road. At this time, the map is
only tentative, and road alignment will be dependent upon how property
is subdivided.

PUBLIC HEARING - re Abandonment Application A-1-87, by Durvis Ralls
(surplus street right-of-way adjacent to 2305 Chestnut Street)
(A-010-100)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Dahl opened the public
hearing re Abandonment Application A-1-87.
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 May 14, 1987
Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that the
purpose of the abandonment is to better facilitate construction of a
single-family house on an adjoining lot which falls sharply away from
the street. Mr. Perry explained that it is the opinion of both the
Planning Commission and staff that the subject right-of-way is not
needed for public street purposes. It is the recommendation of staff
that Council abandon the right-of-way and that a public easement be
retained.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, that Resolution No. 87-163 be adopted, a resolution of
the City Council of the City of Redding ordering the vacation and
abandon-ment of surplus Chestnut Street/Octavia Street right-of-way
adjacent to property located at 2305 Chestnut Street (A-1-87); subject
to the following condition that the entire area shall be reserved as
an easement for City sewer, water and electric utilities, and existing
Pacific Gas and Electric Company utilities; and ratifying the negative
declaration.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Fulton, Gard, Johannessen and Dahl
Noes: Council Members - None

PUBLIC HEARING - re Sacramento River Trail Pedestrian Bridge
(P-050-460-700)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Dahl opened the public
hearing re the Sacramento River Trail Pedestrian Bridge.
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 April 30, 1987
Deputy City Clerk Strohmayer noted that a letter was received from Mr.
Louis E. Moore supporting the construction of the Sacramento River
Trail Pedestrian Bridge, but expressing concern about traffic and
parking problems on Harlan Drive which have resulted from use of the
Trail.
Senior Assistant Planner Hanson reviewed the memorandum to Council
dated April 30, 1987. Mr. Hanson stated that at issue is whether the
potential impacts associated with the project can be mitigated.
Potential environmental impacts identified as the 100-year floodplain
of the River, visual impacts of the bridge, construction impacts and
user benefits have been addressed in the Environmental Assessment, were distributed to Council, and are incorporated by reference herein.
It is the recommendation of staff that the negative declaration based
on those mitigation measures be adopted. Mr. Hanson noted that the
City will have to forgo the potential for grant funding under the Land
and Water Conservation Fund for 1987 if the environmental review of
this project is not completed by May 22, 1987.
It is the opinion of staff that the completion of the bridge and trail
loop will help mitigate traffic and parking problems in the Lake
Redding Estates Subdivision. Mr. Hanson noted that this opinion is
shared by residents on Harlan Drive, and staff recommends that a
detailed outline of measures to help resolve the traffic and parking
problems be submitted at a later time. Planning and Community Devel-
opment Director Perry explained that staff wanted Council to be aware
of the problem because staff may return with a solution that includes
a budget request. Possible approaches to solving the problem include
construction of a parking site near the Senior Citizen's Hall or
Diestelhorst Bridge.
Council Member Gard stated that her main concern is the impact on the
residents of Harlan Drive right now and through the summer. She
recommended that the parking site at the west end of Harlan Drive be
designated a "No Parking" area, and signs be posted directing motor-
ists to the Senior Citizen's Hall. Council Member Gard emphasized
that she is talking about a commitment to enforcement. Mr. Perry
stated that they were considering stationing a uniformed officer, not
a police officer, at the parking site at the beginning of summer. Mr.
Hanson indicated that signs have been ordered and are pending the
outcome of tonight's meeting.
Council Member Gard said that parking could be restricted by issuing
residential parking permits. Mr. Perry noted that there are problems
associated with that idea, and this will be a last resort. Mr. Hanson
stated that there will be a 3-4 month construction period for the
south side of the trail, and staff is recommending restrictive parking
signs on Harlan Drive.
Mr. Harry Delanty, 3357 Harlan Drive, noted that there is not only a
parking problem, but a traffic problem. He called attention to the
many Harlan Drive neighbors who attended tonight's meeting and stated
that there are many more who were unable to attend. Mr. Delanty
advised Council that they support construction of the pedestrian
bridge and further construction of the trail. Mr. Delanty pointed out
that the traffic counter who conducted the traffic survey on Harlan
Drive was only there for a few hours a day. He believes the amount of
time and this particular week do not truly represent what is actually
happening. Mr. Delanty emphasized that use of the trail will grow
over the years; and he suggested that signs restricting parking be
posted, and a designated parking site at Senior Citizen's Hall be
used. He noted that as long as there is any kind of parking at the
west end of Harlan Drive, there will be a traffic problem on the
street.
Ms. Roberta McLaughlin, 3384 Harlan Drive, stated that she is opposed
to issuing residential parking permits. She noted that permits can be
a hassle for residents, as well as visitors.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, that the negative declaration be adopted, based upon the
conclusion in the Environmental Assessment that all potential adverse
effects are mitigated to a point where no significant environmental
effects will occur. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, that staff implement measures to mitigate traffic and
parking problems in Lake Redding Estates as quickly as possible. The
Vote: Unanimous Ayes
CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - re General Plan Classifications
(G-030-070)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Dahl opened the public
hearing re General Plan Classifications.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Posting - Notice of Continued Public Hearing
Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that staff
has prepared a side by side comparison of the proposed General Plan
Classifications and their forerunners, if different. Mr. Perry
explained that these classifications, together with zoning and permit
approval, are the tools to implement land-use policy in the City. He
stated that, if adopted, the up-dated classifications will not change
the land-use map. It is the recommendation of staff that Council
approve the updated list in concept, and direct staff to return with a
resolution for adoption in June or July.
Council Member Johannessen questioned if this amendment will signifi-
cantly change or affect any property. He stated that his concern is
with property use changing without the property owner knowing it. Mr.
Perry explained that this does not amend the land use map.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Fulton, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unani-
mous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Gard, to adopt the General Plan Classifications in concept and
directing staff to bring back a resolution for adoption in June or
July. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
AIRPORTS COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS
(B-080-010)
Mayor Dahl stated that the community has shown a great interest in
serving on City commissions. He noted that an abundance of applica-
tions for upcoming vacancies have been received. Mayor Dahl explained
that the interview process has been time consuming, and he apologized
for the delay in making timely appointments. Mayor Dahl stated that
he takes issue with the policy of just reappointing commission
members. He noted that as government becomes larger, it becomes
detached from the community. Through the commission process, many
members of the community can have the opportunity to access
government; and if commissioners are automatically reappointed, it
shuts out part of the community from service.
Mayor Dahl noted that he is prepared to face the controversy surround-
ing this policy. He explained that he is looking for more than new
blood; he is looking for commissioners who are independent, not
intimidated and the best qualified to serve. Mayor Dahl emphasized
that he is also seeking continuity and stability; he noted that five
of the Airports Commissioners have served before. He added that
naming appointments prior to the meeting will give the community the
opportunity to look and scrutinize; everybody will have an oppor-tunity
to make and be a part of the decision making process.
Mayor Dahl explained that Ms. Liz Reginato, who has served the commis-
sion well for 28 years, has indicated that she would like to step
down. It is the recommendation of Mayor Dahl that Mr. Eihnard Diaz be
appointed to the Airports Commission. He noted that Mr. Diaz' intel-
lectual and analytical abilities will serve the commission well. Mr.
Diaz has served on the Shasta County Economic Development Task Force,
and Mayor Dahl pointed out that he is independent thinking and not
easily intimidated.
Council Member Gard noted that Mr. Diaz works for Sharrah Dunlap &
Associates, who do a great deal of work for the City and currently is
working on the sewer treatment plant. She questioned if Mr. Diaz will
have to abstain on these issues. Deputy City Attorney McNeill stated
that he will have to abstain if his firm will be financially impacted
in a particular area at issue. Mayor Dahl noted that he has discussed
this issue with Mr. Diaz, and he does not foresee a problem. He
conveyed that what Mr. Diaz has to offer the commission far outweighs
that disadvantage.
Mr. Roger Mills, President of Enterprise Skypark, submitted to Council
a petition requesting that Mr. Diaz not be appointed to the Airports
Commission. Mr. Mills stated that their basic position is Mr. Diaz
has a conflict of interest; he represents a landholder who has asked
for elimination of Enterprise Skypark. Mr. Mills questioned if, as
the City lines move in that direction, a conflict of interest will
arise.
Council Member Johannessen indicated that he has at times strongly
disagreed with Mr. Diaz; but this does not make a difference, he
supports the nomination. Council Member Johannessen added that if Mr.
Diaz realized there was a conflict of interest, and could not function
well on the Commission, he would be the first to agree that he step
down.
Council Member Gard stated that it does take time to interview appli-
cants and not to worry about a delay naming appointments. Council
Member Gard said that Judge Eaton had once advised her that it is just
as important to avoid the appearance of conflict as it is to avoid
conflict. Council Member Fulton noted that this was the first time a
petition against an appointment has been submitted. He explained that
making appointments public prior to the meeting can be a two-way
street; public participation is invited, yet ones mind is already made up. Council Member Fulton stated that if one can get a majority of
people behind the appointment, it will not be harmful to anyone.
Mayor Dahl maintained that the process is healthy, he is comfortable
with it and he will put up with the heat. Mayor Dahl explained that
the reason a petition has never been submitted before is because the
process has never been opened up. Council Member Johannessen noted
that he has spoken with Council Member Carter and he also supports the
appointment.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Fulton, approving the appointment of Mr. Eihnard Diaz to the
Airports Commission for a term expiring May 1, 1991.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Fulton, Johannessen and Dahl
Noes: Council Members - Gard
Absent: Council Members - Carter
Mayor Dahl recommended Ginne Mistal to the position of Airports
Commissioner. He noted that she has served on the Chamber of Commerce
and is well qualified to serve on the commission, having served as an
assistant air traffic controller and public relations in other areas.
Mayor Dahl explained that he has been as objective as he could be and
believes Ms. Mistal is the best qualified to serve.
Council Member Fulton pointed out that consideration should be given
to those currently serving on a commission. He explained that Mr.
Putnam has only served for two years and is just getting his feet wet.
Council Member Fulton noted that Mr. Putnam has been active in the
Exchange Club and instrumental in getting the Blue Angels here for the
Air Show. Council Member Fulton added that Mr. Putnam had a conflict
with Council and did speak up. For that reason, Council Member Fulton
stated that Mr. Putnam is not being reappointed. He pointed out that
Mayor Dahl asked for independent commissioners. Council Member Gard
concurred and questioned why Mr. Putnam was not reappointed.
Mayor Dahl stated that he believes Ms. Mistal is better qualified, and
noted that there are many issues involved. Council Member Johannessen
agreed that the Air Show is an important activity, but stated that it
is not the only issue here. He pointed out that he is President of
the Exchange Club, and if anyone, he should support Mr. Putnam for
reappointment. Council Member Johannessen stated that he does not
find fault with the ap-pointment of Ginne Mistal.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Mayor Dahl,
approving the appointment of Ginne Mistal to the Airports Commission,
for a term expiring May 1, 1991.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Johannessen and Dahl
Noes: Council Members - Fulton and Gard

ORDINANCE - Home Occupation Permits in Planned Development District
(L-010-030)
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, that the full reading of Ordinance No. 1809 be waived and the
Deputy City Attorney be instructed to read the full title. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
Deputy City Clerk Strohmayer noted that a letter was received from
Kathy Hicks, Vice President of the Del Mar Homeowners Association,
stating their opposition to home occupations permits being issued in
planned developments. The letter stated that streets in Del Mar
Gardens are private and maintained by the homeowners, and an increase
in traffic would create additional expenses for the Association.
Council Member Gard noted that Home Occupation Permits are discretion-
ary, and suggested that the letter be transmitted to the Board of
Administrative Review for determination if the need should arise.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Gard, that Ordinance No. 1809 be adopted, an ordinance of the City of
Redding amending Chapter 18.36 of Title 18 of the Redding Municipal
Code by repealing subparagraph A of Section 18.36.020 in its entirety
and substituting a new subparagraph A therefor, pertaining to Planned
Development (PD) Districts.

Ordinance No. 1809 is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
LEGISLATIVE MATTERS
(L-040-300)
City Manager Christofferson recommended that Council take a position
of opposition to SB692. Mr. Christofferson stated that this legis-
lation would place limitations on the land use authority of cities in
the area of commercial rent control. He explained that this is not an
issue in Redding or virtually any other California city, and the
effect of this bill is to make further inroads on the Council's powers
to regulate land use.
Mr. Christofferson recommended that Council support SB813 which would
require local agencies to report their Gann appropriations limit,
which is based on public information. He stated that this is a common
sense method of securing State-wide data of potential benefit to State
and local governments.
Mr. Christofferson recommended that Council oppose SB1425 which will
change the lien date for property tax assessments from March 1 to
January 1. This will cost California cities about $2,500,000, with no
provision for reimbursement to cities for the lost revenue included in
the bill. He stated that it is unclear why Senator Vuich is carrying
the bill, other than the obvious property tax break. Mr.
Christofferson pointed out that the bill is a further erosion of the
City's revenue base.
Council Member Johannessen suggested that prior to communicating
opposition to SB1425, staff contact Senator Vuich and ask for clari-
fication.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, directing staff to prepare communications from the Mayor to
our legislative representatives, appropriate committees of the Legis-
lature and the League of California Cities in opposition to SB692, in
support of SB813 and opposition to SB1425.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Fulton, Gard, and Dahl
Noes: Council Members - Johannessen
Absent: Council Members - Carter
AWARD OF BID - Bid Schedule No. 1885 - Heating and air conditioning
maintenance at various City locations
(B-050-100)
Director of Finance Downing reported that bids were received on April
21, 1987, for heating and air conditioning maintenance at various City
locations. The low bid was Accu-Temp North with a monthly charge of
$755.01.
Council Member Fulton stated that the Downtown Mall Merchants Asso-
ciation pay their own maintenance bill and they believe that Accu-Temp
North's bid is high and unrealistic. City Manager Christofferson
stated that he has spoken with the Downtown Mall Association, and they
asked if the bid could be split. Mr. Christofferson stated that this
is not possible, either the low bid is accepted or all bids are thrown
out. Deputy City Attorney McNeill explained that the property owners
in the Downtown Mall pay their share on a pro rata basis, based on the
value of their property.
Mr. Rich Marchione, Mechanical Maintenance/Artic Aire, explained that
he has had the maintenance contract for 14 years. Mr. Marchione
stated that when he reviewed the specifications from purchasing, he
realized they were very outdated and unrealistic. Mr. Marchione added
that the specs were written 12 years ago, and are based on maintenance
of the old equipment, not the new equipment. He said he informed the
Purchasing Officer of the discrepancy, and he was told to bid in
accordance with his updated information. Mr. Marchione stated that
Mechanical Mainte-nance bid according to the new specs, and everyone
else bid on the old specs.
General Services Director Masingale stated that he has read Mr.
Marchione's letter and is aware that he bid on different specs. He
noted that there is some confusion surrounding this issue. Ms.
Downing explained that purchasing was to review the specs because they
were no longer adequate. Mayor Dahl suggested that they continue this
issue at the next meet-ing.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Gard, continuing this matter until the next Council meeting. The
Vote: Unanimous Ayes
RESOLUTION - Supplemental Appropriation - Old City Hall, Bid Schedule
No. 1796
(B-130-070 & C-050-500)
Director of Finance Downing reported that the contract to rehabilitate
Old City Hall was awarded to Donald Gallino, Inc. in the amount of
$483,535. As a result of contract change orders and miscellaneous
unanticipated expenditures, the total renovation cost for the budget
year 1986/87 will be approximately $524,000. Initially, $255,000 was
budgeted in 1986/87, with another supplemental appropriation approved
earlier in the year for $29,000, for a total of $284,000.
Ms. Downing stated that an additional supplemental appropriation is
now required for the remaining balance of $240,000.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, that Resolution No. 87-164 be adopted, a resolution of the
City Council of the City of Redding approving and adopting certain
supplemental appropriations, calculated as of May 19, 187, and to be
effective for the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1987.

RESOLUTION - Award of Contract to EA Engineering, Science and Tech-
nology, Inc. - Salmon Spawning Habitat Study
(E-120-070-425)
Resources Manager Coleman reviewed his memorandum to Council dated May
14, 1987. Mr. Coleman informed Council that EA Engineering, Science
and Technology, Inc. has submitted the lowest cost proposal for
preparation of the new salmon spawning habitat study for the Lake
Redding Project. It is the recommendation of staff that the contract
be awarded to EA Engineering in the amount of $9,209 for completion of
Tasks 1 and 3 as outlined in the Proposal.
Council Member Johannessen explained that although he is not in favor
of spending more money on this project, it is necessary to meet FERC
requests if the license is to be kept active, if only for a scaled-
down project. Mayor Dahl stated that it is time to meet with FERC in
Washington and seek clarification on the issues. The City will be
represented by Council and staff from the City Attorney's office.
City Manager Christofferson stated that Congressman Wally Herger's
office has been contacted with the intent to help identify the correct
FERC agent to meet.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Gard, that Resolution No. 87-165 be adopted, a resolution of
the City Council of the City of Redding approving the proposal from EA
Engineering, Science and Technology, Inc. to conduct spawning gravel
studies, in the amount of $9,209.00, for the Lake Redding power
project, and authorizing the City Manager to sign all necessary
documentation.

RESOLUTION - Award of Contract to EA Engineering, Science and Tech-
nology, Inc. - Response to FERC Letter re Lake Redding Project
(E-120-070-425)
Resources Manager Coleman reviewed his memorandum to Council dated May
14, 1987. Mr. Coleman reported that FERC informed the City on April
23, 1987, that the Draft EIR has adequately responded to only a
portion of their January 8, 1987 request for submittal of additional
information regarding the Lake Redding Project. FERC has requested
the City to submit, by June 23, 1987, a scope and schedule of studies
needed to adequately respond to the remaining requested information.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council award a contract to EA
Engineering to provide a response to FERC's request for a total cost
not to exceed $15,000.
Council Member Gard suggested that FERC is stalling for time. She
noted that this may eventually prove beneficial, if we are pushed into
another energy crisis. She noted that they are using the City to do
as many river studies as possible.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, that Resolution No. 87-166 be adopted, a resolution of the
City Council of the City of Redding authorizing EA Engineering,
Science, and Technology, Inc. to prepare a response to FERC's letter
to the City of Redding dated April 23, 1987, requesting additional
information on the Lake Redding Power Project, at a cost not to exceed
$15,000.00, and authorizing the City Manager to sign all necessary
documentation in connection therewith.
