BENTON RANCH - Civic Center Architect's Report
(C-070-010-020)
City Manager Christofferson stated that Les Melburg of Nichols,
Melburg & Rossetto and Derek Parker of Anshen and Allen will
present the comparative study of the Benton Ranch and Parkview
properties as possible Civic Center sites.
Les Melburg, Nichols, Melburg, & Rosetto, reviewed the
comparative study on the Benton Ranch and Parkview Avenue
properties for the proposed Civic Center. Mr. Melburg recalled
the history of the site selection for the Civic Center and
reviewed archeological, soil, noise, and traffic considerations
for both sites. He conveyed that the architects met with City
staff, State of California staff, private business persons, and
citizens and have tried to present an unbiased report.
Mr. Melburg emphasized that a civic center site on Benton Ranch
would only use 4% of the area. An overlay of the area was shown on the VuGraph which showed that both Shasta College and the Redding Caldwell Park fit on the Benton Ranch site. He also indicated that development is not proposed on any of the Benton
Ranch archeological sites. Mr. Melburg noted that Cypress Avenue
has the worst traffic situation in Redding, and even with the
proposed construction of the Parkview Bridge, traffic projections
indicate that Parkview Avenue will be operating at capacity.
Mr. Melburg noted that Benton Ranch has constraints on it. At
least 20% of the property must be used for park purposes, and it
cannot be sold. He conveyed that the Parkview site has a land
value of $6 million and can be utilized for other City purposes
or placed into the Redevelopment Agency and generate income of up
to $1.5 million per year for the Agency. Mr. Melburg reviewed
the costs associated with bridges and replacement costs for the
facilities on Parkview Avenue.
Derek Parker, Anshen & Allen, noted that traffic seems to be
substantial in difference in its impact upon the two sites. Mr.
Parker stated that estimating the cost to construct a civic
center on both sites is a very complicated subject, and there are
different ways to prepare a cost report.
Mr. Parker stressed the importance associated with making a site
location decision. He pointed out that image, convenience, and
location, both short and long term, are very important. Mr.
Parker conveyed that a civic center on Parkview Avenue will not
revitalize the downtown area. He reiterated that a civic center
will occupy less than 4% of the Ranch, and bringing people to
Benton Ranch may reduce vagrancy and crime in the park area. Mr.
Parker pointed out that the civic center building at Parkview
would be 1400 feet from the Sacramento River and 1500 feet from
the River at Benton. Concerning the suggestion for a university
campus on Benton, he conveyed that a campus would need an area of
land about ten times the size of Benton Ranch. Mr. Parker
explained that the costs for a civic center are substantial for
either location and approximately the same.
Mayor Johannessen noted that this is not a public hearing, but
invited the public to comment.
Wilson Hunt, 285 Sonoma Street, stated that there are many
disparities in the report. Mr. Hunt said a bridge on Parkview
Avenue was necessary ten years ago, and a bridge at Benton Ranch
may never need to be built. Regarding the replacement of
facilities, he pointed out that the softball site is already
being replaced, and a new corporation yard must be built
regardless. Mr. Hunt stated that the report is biased.
Frances Jenkins, 2652 Sharon Street, pointed out that Council
parliamentary procedure is based on Robert's Rules of Order. She
stated that if Council wanted to adopt the Benton Ranch site as a
location for the civic center tonight, there are parliamentary
steps Council would have to take. Ms. Jenkins stated that
Council would need a 2/3 majority, or four out of five votes.
She also conveyed that the motion to place the civic center at
Parkview would have to be repealed. Ms. Jenkins conveyed that
the Benton Ranch site is a jewel, and hopes that Council has the
vision to not put buildings there at this time. She conveyed
that the City should leave open spaces within the City for future
generations. Ms. Jenkins pointed out that many large cities are
now buying back riverfront property and creating green areas in
the midst of their cities. She conveyed that Benton Ranch should
be a park.
Council Member Dahl said he is looking forward to scrutinizing the report and suggested that Council call a special meeting to
focus on the report and direct energy toward this topic. He noted that interested citizens would also have a forum to express their concerns.
Council Member Buffum suggested that Council meet on February 28,
1989.
Council Member Carter conveyed that the highlights of the report
should be given to the public and those for and against can
review and consider the report. He stated that he has many
questions which he will direct to the architects for response and
suggested that other Council Members do the same.
Planning Director Perry noted that a Planning Commission meeting
in the Council Chambers is scheduled for the 28th of February.
Council concurred that the meeting will be advertised as a public
hearing and held at the Redding Convention Center.
Gayle Clark stated that the proposed civic center should be
constructed on Parkview Avenue. Ms. Clark asked where a copy of
the report can be obtained.
Mayor Johannessen stated that copies are available for review at
the City Clerk's office.
LEGISLATIVE MATTERS
(L-040-300)
City Manager Christofferson reviewed several bills before the
Legislature that have an impact on the City of Redding. City
Manager's Report to Council dated February 2, 1989 is
incorporated by reference herein.
Regarding AB160, Mr. Christofferson stated that this bill would
eliminate the ability of cities to utilize the redevelopment
process for the purpose of replacing older private sector
structures with new ones, and staff recommends that Council
oppose AB160.
Regarding SB65, Mr. Christofferson stated that this bill would
repeal the public agency exemption to Proposition 65, the Safe
Water Drinking Act of 1986 and in so doing, would pose
significant problems to California cities. It is the
recommendation of staff that Council oppose SB65.
Regarding ACA1, Mr. Christofferson stated that this bill would
require the State to pay for mandated local costs. Although the
State is required to do so, there is no enforcement mechanism in
the law at this time, and the bill would require the State to
appropriate funds in advance. Staff recommends that Council
support this bill.
Regarding AB145, Mr. Christofferson stated that Pete Dangermond,
the City's consultant for the museum project, has been working
with legislators in the development of a new park bond issue for
the June 1990 ballot. It will provide substantial assistance to
local parks and recreation projects, with specific assistance for
museum projects. It is the recommendation of staff that Council
support AB145 and encourage Senator Nielsen and Assemblyman
Statham to become co-authors of the bill.
Regarding SB65, Mayor Johannessen expressed concern that government does not follow the same rules as private citizens. Noting that SB65 would create a tremendous financial impact on California Cities, Mr. Christofferson stated that this bill would affect both the water and wastewater treatment plant. He said he
would be glad to prepare a detailed cost analysis of what it
would cost the City.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council
Member Carter, opposing AB 160, opposing SB65, supporting ACA1,
supporting AB145, and authorizing the City Manager to prepare the
appropriate letters to legislators, as well as the League of
California Cities, for signature by the Mayor. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
REALIGNMENT OF THE TOURISM AND CONVENTION ORGANIZATION
* (A-050-040 & A-050-500)
Assistant City Manager McMurry reviewed the Report to Council
dated February 2, 1989, and it is incorporated by reference
herein. Noting that Council has scheduled a joint meeting with
the Tourism and Convention Commission on February 14 to discuss
organizational alternatives, Mr. McMurry submitted information
regarding organizational alternatives, the status of the
Commission's report on a Tourism Marketing Program and
recommendations regarding regional tourism and the consolidation
of tourism and convention activities. Mr. McMurry reviewed five
organizational alternatives to manage the tourism and convention
function in the coming years.
Noting that Council will be meeting with the Tourism and
Convention Commission soon, Mayor Johannessen suggested that
Council take time to review the report and defer further
discussion until the joint meeting. Council concurred.
BONDS FOR INDUSTRY PROGRAM - League of California Cities
(
Assistant City Manager McMurry reported that staff has been
working to implement the recommendation of the Economic
Development Task Force with regard to making available to Redding
industries the ability to finance manufacturing facilities
through the issuance of industrial development bonds. Mr.
McMurry stated that the League of California Cities, the County
Supervisors Association and the California Manufacturers
Association established a Bonds for Industry Program which is a
joint powers agency established specifically for the purpose of
issuing such bonds.
Mr. McMurry explained that membership in the Bonds for Industry
program includes approximately 40 cities and counties in
California. He stated that bonds would be available for large
and small issuers. The prospective firm would apply directly to
the joint powers agency which would determine the appropriateness
of issuing the bonds, and refer them back to the City to conduct
a hearing under the Tax Equity Reform Act (TEFRA). The results
are forwarded back to the Agency who would then consider approval
or not. No liability attaches to the City, and the City does not
incur any costs save for the staff time to conduct and process
the TEFRA hearing.
Mr. McMurry stated that the City could establish its own
Industrial Development Authority; however, current tax law states
that the authority to issue industrial development bonds will
"sunset" at the end of 1989 unless Congress extends that sunset
date. He explained that joining the joint powers agency does not
preclude the City from establishing its own authority at a later time if Congress removes the sunset provision. It is the recommendation of the Assistant City Manager, City Attorney, and Director of Finance, as well as the Economic Development
Corporation and the Manufacturer's Association that Council
approve joining the Joint Powers Financing Authority.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council
Member Dahl, that Resolution No. 89-52 be adopted, a resolution
of the City Council of the City of Redding approving,
authorizing, and directing execution by the City Manager of an
amended and restated Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement relating
to the California Statewide Communities Development Authority,
dated as of June 1, 1988.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Buffum, Carter, Dahl, Fulton, and
Johannessen
Noes: Council Members - None
Absent: Council Members - None
Resolution No. 89-52 is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
REQUEST TO RENAME JUNE STREET TO HILLTOP DRIVE - Request by
Enterprise Elementary School District
(S-070-230)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that the
Enterprise Elementary School District submitted a request to
rename June Street to Hilltop Drive. Mr. Perry explained that
the request was generated by the school district as a product of
the extension of June Street which will become one of the main
entrances to the school in order to allow closure of an existing
driveway on Hartnell Avenue.
Mr. Perry reported that the Planning Commission unanimously
recommended denial of the name change on the premise that June
Street is primarily a residential street and renaming it Hilltop
Drive would imply it was a commercial street. He conveyed that
the Commission would approve a public-service sign at the north
end of June Street. Mr. Perry noted that if after a year the
school district is having problems, Council could reconsider at
that time.
TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP S-18-88 - Woodhaven Homes, Block X, by
Charles Hoisington
(S-l00-808)
Council was advised that the Planning Commission has granted
permission to subdivide 8.9 acres into 11 single-family lots,
located at the south end of Middleton Lane and west of Churn
Creek, described as Tentative Subdivision Map S-18-88. A map of
the area and a copy of the conditions of approval were submitted
to Council. This was an information item.
TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP S-19-88 - Lakewood Manor, Unit 5, by
Gunn Construction Company
(S-l00-427)
Council was advised that the Planning Commission has granted
permission to subdivide 4.65 acres into 14 single-family lots,
located east of Creekside Street and north of Lakewood Drive,
described as Tentative Subdivision Map S-19-88. A map of the
area and a copy of the conditions of approval were submitted to
Council. This was an information item.
MARKET STREET PROJECT - Advisory Committee
(R-030-090-600)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that Council authorized staff to submit a list of names for an ad hoc committee to review possible redevelopment activities along the
Highway 273 corridor. Mr. Perry submitted a list of names and
noted that most are business people in the area willing to review
potential projects.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council
Member Buffum, appointing Chuck Zinc, Fred Hurst, Bernie Bryson,
Liz Dunham, Steve Beebe, Kennie Knowles, Hugh McDonald, Dick
Curry, Chuck Harris, Russ Northrup, Bill Kipp, Melvina Corbette,
Scott Thompson, Al Shuffleberger, Rick Weaver, Bill Enderson, and
Richard Kornfield to the ad hoc committee to review redevelopment
activities in the Highway 273 corridor. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
SIGN ORDINANCE REVISION AND STUDY
(C-110-100)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that
the Planning Commission recommended that a committee be appointed
to review the sign ordinance in its entirety. Since that time
Council has adopted regulations for murals and revised
regulations for real estate signs, placed funds in the budget for
a sign inventory and to hire a consultant to meet with the
committee and review the ordinance, and appointed a committee to
review reader board signs. It is the recommendation of staff
that a request for proposal for consultant services be circulated
and a list of names to review the sign ordinance be submitted for
Council's consideration.
Mr. Perry stated that the list will be comprised of users and
sellers of signs, as well as people in the community. He
explained that the Reader Board Committee recommendation should
be forth coming.
Council Member Buffum noted that the Reader Board Committee may
be the nucleus to form the Sign Ordinance Committee. Mr. Perry
noted that the Reader Board Committee has expressed the need to
get professional help from professional people who know the
mechanics of the industry. He added that Council can ask this
committee if they would like to serve; however, Mr. Perry noted
that Council may want a larger group than this.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Buffum, seconded by Council
Member Carter, to wait until Council is in receipt of the Reader
Board Committee's report and then consider appointing a sign
ordinance review committee and circulate a request for proposals
for consultant services. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Mayor Johannessen asked how much consultant services will cost.
Mr. Perry responded that it will probably cost up to $30,000. He
added that the review can be done for less, but if a sign
ordinance code is adopted that is more restrictive, the City will
have to do a City-wide sign inventory and that could be costly.
He noted that a sign inventory could be video taped.
RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION - Hartnell & C Street (579 & 591
Hartnell) (593 - 615 Hartnell)
* (C-070-010 & R-030-050-100)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that
the Redding Redevelopment Agency is in the process of completing
the design for the widening of the Hartnell Avenue/I-5
Overcrossing and related improvements. The improvements include, among other things, the realignment of C Street to accommodate
the overcrossing, and it is hoped that construction of the improvements can start this construction season.
Mr. Perry conveyed that it is necessary to acquire portions of
two parcels in order to accommodate the approach ramps and
provide a safe intersection. The owners of both parcels were
contacted and both property owners felt that the appraisals were
too low and would not accept the Redevelopment Agency's offer.
Mr. Perry noted that neither property owner has obtained an
independent appraisal. He emphasized that acquisition of the
properties in the near future is critical to meeting the time
frame established for constructing the overcrossing.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council direct the City
Attorney to initiate eminent domain proceedings and ask for
immediate possession of the properties. Mr. Perry indicated that
regardless of Council's decision, staff will continue to try to
reach an agreement with both property owners. He added that the
Agency will be responsible for paying all costs.
Council Member Buffum asked if the Agency would like Council to
proceed at this time. Mr. Perry responded yes, because the
timing is critical.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, authorizing the City Attorney to initiate eminent domain
proceedings on property owned by Gary Standifer at 579 & 591
Hartnell and property owned by Martin Lott at 593 - 615 Hartnell
Avenue, and ask for immediate possession of the properties in
order to facilitate the construction of the Hartnell Avenue
Overcrossing. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
ANNEXATION REQUEST 89-1 - Old Alturas Road
(A-150-207)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that the
Bella Vista Water District provides water service to households
in the Old Alturas Road area, although the area is not within the
District boundary service area. Mr. Perry noted that with the
annexation of 85-11, Lema Road, approximately one-half of the
area became part of the City of Redding. The City has extended
water lines to the area and is now prepared to take over the
system. It is the recommendation of staff to accept the water
line from the District on the condition that the area annexes to
the City. Mr. Perry indicated that property owners in the area
have inquired about annexation in the past, and staff recommends
that letters be sent to property owners in the area to determine
interest in annexation.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, authorizing staff to send a letter to property owners in
the Old Alturas Road area to determine interest in annexation to
the City. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
REDDING MUNICIPAL AIRPORT - Avionics Shop Bid Proposal
(C-070-100 & A-090-100)
Airports Director Homan reported that a Request for Proposal for
an avionics shop at the Municipal Airport was advertised in six
major newspapers. Two bids were received and have been reviewed
by committee. Mr. Homan stated that Aerotronics' proposal is the
most comprehensive and presents extensive avionics management experience, supporting business reference, financial data, and concept of operations. He stated that the review committee recommends that Aerotronics be awarded the bid and Council direct
staff to negotiate a facility lease with Aerotronics for Council approval.
Mr. Homan noted that Aerotronics' proposal requests that the City
provide additional aircraft parking apron adjacent to the
avionics facility, and this addition can be funded by a direct
grant from Caltrans with a subsequent increase to the annual
lessee rent. He also conveyed that Aerotronics will be applying
for California corporation papers contingent upon receipt of the
bid. Mr. Homan stated that there are several areas of
Aerotronics proposal which need to be supported by additional
information which should be forthcoming.
Council Member Carter noted that he served on the selection
committee and found Aerotronics' proposal to be outstanding.
Council Member Buffum stated that Council Member Carter deserves
a lot of thanks for all the effort and work he did on this.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council
Member Dahl, awarding Aerotronics the bid for the avionics
facility at Redding Municipal Airport, subject to the condition
that Aerotronics' additional information is submitted and found
satisfactory to the committee, and directing staff to negotiate a
facility lease for subsequent Council approval. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
RESOLUTIONS - Solid Waste Rate Increase
S-020-500)
General Services Director Masingale stated that there has not
been an increase in residential solid waste rates since 1981, and
Redding residents pay less than Shasta County residents and
Northern California cities contacted by staff. Mr. Masingale
noted that because of the implementation of the automated garbage
collection system, the amount of the rate increase request is
less.
Mr. Masingale explained that the rate increase is necessary for
the following reasons: the cost of operations continues to
increase; it is necessary to update the fleet of collection
vehicles, especially in light of the long haul to the new
landfill; State mandated programs; and the necessity to design,
site, and construct a transfer station/recycling center.
It is the recommendation of staff to increase residential rates
by $2 on March 1, 1989, $1 on July 1, 1989, and $1 on January 1,
1990; raise multi-family rates on a similar schedule at one-half
of the residential rate; raise commercial rates by 15% on the
same schedule; and that each user of the landfill pay a minimum
of $3.
Council Member Fulton stated that citizens should not have to pay
a $3 minimum charge to use the landfill. He noted that using the
landfill free of charge has always been a service provided to
City residents, and it is a privilege residents should enjoy.
Mr. Masingale noted that there have been problems with people
outside the City using the landfill under false pretenses. He
pointed out that the County charges a minimum fee to use the
County landfill.
Council Member Fulton asked if Redding citizens could dump at the transfer station. Council Member Carter suggested a compromise
fee of $1.50. Mayor Johannessen conveyed that additional revenue is necessary. He pointed out, however, that there is a lot of bare land in
Shasta County and if citizens are faced with a minimum charge to
dump at the landfill, they may chose to dump illegally, and it
will cost more money to clean it up. Council Member Carter
concurred.
Mr. Masingale conveyed that staff estimated an increase in
revenue in the amount of $50,000 by charging a minimum landfill
use fee. He pointed out that staff estimated the cost of
implementing State mandated programs based on past history, and
those costs may go up. He conveyed that staff will be pursuing
reimbursement from the State for any of the State mandated
programs.
Council Member Carter pointed out that the City is extremely
lucky to have joined landfill operations with the County. He
complimented Mr. Masingale for running a very cost effective
Department.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, that Resolution No. 89-53 be adopted, a resolution of the
City Council of the City of Redding establishing rates for the
collection and removal of solid waste pursuant to the provisions
of Section 9.28.110 of the Redding Municipal Code, and repealing
Resolution No. 85-248.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Buffum, Carter, Dahl, Fulton, and

RESOLUTION - Abatement Proceedings at 1825 Grandview Avenue,
owned by Theresa K. Knox
(A-030-070)
City Attorney Hays reported that this abatement was commenced by
Council on April 19, 1988, and despite assurances from the owner
to rehabilitate the structure, the health and safety hazard
remain. Mr. Hays stated that bids were sent out for demolition
of the building(s) and debris, and the costs of the abatement,
including staff time, total $2,900.97. It is the recommendation
of staff that Council approve and confirm the Report and Account
of the Fire Marshal by adopting the submitted resolution.
MOTION: Made by Council Dahl, seconded by Council Member Fulton, that Council adopt Resolution No. 89-55, a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Redding approving and confirming the
Report and Account of the costs of abatement of the junk and debris on the property located at 1825 Grandview Avenue in the
City of Redding, owned by Theresa K. Knox.

Carl Arness, 2260 Oakridge Drive, stated that City rates will
equal those of the County by January 1990. He noted that if the
City's rates are less, people will go to the City. Mr. Arness
noted that a little bit of slippage for County residents using
the City transfer station to dump is okay. He opined that the
resolution calling for 50% recycling is very good.
Dick Gray, 1710 Regent Avenue, noted that Congress did not get
their pay raise, but Council has raised solid waste rates by
100%. Mr. Gray asked why the present landfill cannot be used for
the transfer station without the cost of hiring a consultant to
look for a site. He noted that the area is already a dump, so
the City would not have to worry about neighbors complaining.
Mr. Masingale noted that the current dump is one of the sites
under consideration for the transfer station/recycling center.
He explained that there are many technical considerations to
siting a transfer station.

Johannessen declared the meeting adjourned to 5:15 p.m., February
