ORDINANCE NO. 1839 - Secondhand Vendors
(C-110-100)
City Attorney Hays stated that Ordinance No. 1839 is on tonight's
agenda for second reading, but some concern was expressed
regarding the definition of jewelry and items traded in as the
basis for the purchase of, or exchange for, other items. Mr.
Hays offered amendments to the proposed Secondhand Vendors
ordinance as follows:
1. The definition of jewelry be narrowed to include that which
contains precious metals or precious gems as defined in Webster's
New International Dictionary, current edition; and
2. Trade-ins for used merchandise, in addition to new
merchandise, will be exempt from the reporting provision; and
3. A one-year sunset provision will be included and statistical
data will be made available to see if the ordinance is effective.
Council Member Gard stated that she has received many phone calls
and letters of support for the proposed ordinance.
Mayor Dahl conveyed that he has also received many calls
supporting the ordinance. He added that Council has heard the
pros and cons on this issue and will decide on what is best for
the community.
Council Member Carter stated that he has received many calls
opposed to the ordinance. He described the ordinance as
intrusive and an attack on the free market and civil rights.
Council Member Carter further stated that he approves of the
above-stated amendments, but does not like the ordinance. It
gives too much latitude and is vague.
Council Member Johannessen noted that although the ordinance got
off on the wrong track, many questions have been answered and the
ordinance has been clarified.
Richard Bates, 1300 West Street, stated that he is an attorney
representing a group of local merchants. Mr. Bates opined that
the proposed amendments are trying to fill a gap in an ordinance
that is not even being enforced. He pointed out that the Police
Department would have done better if they were successfully
enforcing current law and then approached Council with amendments
addressing the 20% clause.
L.D. Friar, 1760 Barbara Road, stated that the ordinance will
affect many more than the 50 projected businesses, and it will
also affect contractors who remodel buildings and sell large
appliances.
02/16/88
City Attorney Hays clarified that the ordinance applies only to businesses located in the City. A business must only report
items on those days when it takes in secondhand merchandise and appliances like washers and dryers are excluded. Chuck Zinc, 800 August Way, stated that the current draft of the ordinance has improved 80% over the original draft. He thanked
Council Members Johannessen and Carter for their cooperation. Mr. Zinc stated that he approves of the ordinance.
Council Member Fulton stated that he has received calls both pro
and con for the ordinance. He noted that the ambiguity of the
ordinance was bothering a lot of people, and clarity has been
coming in piecemeal.
Mayor Dahl stated that this will not be a burden on the business
community; it will present a slight burden on approximately 50
businesses. It is necessary to help residents, as well as
businesses, who are the victims of theft. Mayor Dahl said the
ordinance will not take away personal freedoms.
Council Member Gard noted that the innocent victims are those
businesses that buy stolen goods, and this ordinance should help
them.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Gard, approving amendments to the ordinance as follows:
1. Jewelry is defined as that which contains precious metals or
precious gems as defined in Webster's New
InternationalDictionary, current edition; and
2. Trade-ins for used merchandise will be excluded from the
reporting provision; and
3. The ordinance will contain a one-year sunset provision and
statistical data will be gathered to see if the ordinance
iseffective; and the ordinance will be brought back for
thesecond reading at the next meeting. The Vote: Unanimous

RESOLUTION OPPOSING SB34 - Delta Levee Compromise Bill
(L-040-300)
Mayor Dahl conveyed that Senator Jim Nielsen has asked Council to
send a resolution opposing Senate Bill SB34, the Delta Levee
Compromise Bill, to state legislators.
02/16/88
Council Member Gard questioned if the Bill has made any provision for Northern California. She does not see any argument for opposing the bill other than that it could eventually lead to a Peripheral Canal. Council Member Gard suggested we support the
Bill and ask for amendments. She asked for additional information before opposing the Bill. Council Member Johannessen said that Southern California is
experiencing building moratoriums as a result of not having
water. One argument heard in support of sending water south is
to avoid more people moving north.
Council Member Carter conveyed that there are some misconceptions
about the use of water in the south; commercial agriculture water
use totals 80%, and residential water use totals 20%. He added
that pressure for Northern California water comes from the big
water users.
Council Member Gard said she supported the Peripheral Canal
because it included provisions for Northern California. She
pointed out that the levees need to be repaired, and the question
is should it be with public or private funds. The way California
uses water should be changed, and Redding needs to be involved in
the water issue and formulate some policy.
Council Member Johannessen pointed out that Senator Nielsen is
only requesting that the Bill be delayed so Northern California
can provide input and our needs can also be met.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Carter, that Resolution No. 88-78 be adopted, a resolution
of the City Council of the City of Redding in opposition to
Senate Bill 34, the Delta Levee Compromise Bill.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Carter, Fulton, Johannessen and Dahl
Noes: Council Members - Gard
Absent: Council Members - None
Resolution No. 88-78 is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
Council Member Fulton noted that time is of the essence and the
issue must be addressed immediately. He requested that
additional information be supplied to Council.
COUNCIL RETREAT
(A-050-060)
City Manager Christofferson advised Council that the Shasta House
was available on February 20 or February 27 for the next Council
retreat.
Council concurred that neither of these dates were convenient and
asked if arrangements could be made for March 5, 1988. Mr.
Christofferson stated that he will see if the Shasta House is
available on that date.
RECRUITMENT FOR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
(A-050-300)
Noting that Public Works Director Arness has announced his
intention to retire, City Manager Christofferson conveyed that
staff should endeavor to conduct the search for a new director
with the possible backup position that an executive search firm
be utilized, if they are unsuccessful in attracting a
satisfactory field of candidates. Mr. Christofferson also
proposed that reorganization of the department be evaluated after
the selection is made.
02/16/88
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council
Member Gard, approving the City Manager's recommendation for staff to conduct a comprehensive search, based on an open examination, for the position of Public Works Director; and evaluate reorganizational possibilities after the selection is
made. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RESOLUTION - In-Lieu Park Fees
(L-010-100)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry submitted the
Fee Schedule for In-Lieu Park Fees for Council's consideration.
Mr. Perry noted that, if adopted, the draft resolution setting
fees would become effective on the effective date of Ordinance
No. 1842, the City Park Dedication Ordinance.
Council Member Johannessen stated that he is concerned with the
high fee for multiple-family housing.
Council Member Carter agreed and noted that the cost of housing
is already too high and rising. He pointed out that a new sewer
fee is also being proposed.
Council Member Fulton stated that the new fee schedule takes a
realistic approach; and if the fees are not revised, the City
will not have funds for parkland and projects such as the Sports
Complex.
Council Member Gard conveyed that there is no other way to pay
for services. She pointed out that passage of Proposition 13 and
the Gann Initiative meant that the cost of services would no
longer be shared; costs are loaded onto the new home owner.
Council Member Gard added that although the fee is greater for
multiple-family homes, they have a greater need for parkland and
open space.
Mayor Dahl emphasized that Redding's median housing cost is
significantly lower than other areas. Housing is still
affordable and new subdivisions are being built. He stated that
parks are an amenity of life, and must be maintained. The
quickest way to create a no-growth situation is to stop services.
Mayor Dahl pointed out that the $100 fee increase for a duplex
amortized over a period of 30 years only amounts to $3.33 a year.
Council Member Johannessen stated that he is not concerned with
comparisons to Los Angeles; he is concerned with doing everything
possible to make housing affordable for those that cannot afford
to buy and are living in apartments.
Council Member Gard said this is a classic reason why housing
rehabilitation is important. Community Development Block Grants
for housing rehabilitation help maintain the supply of low income
housing.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council
Member Gard, that Resolution No. 88-79 be adopted, a resolution
of the City Council of the City of Redding establishing a
schedule of fees to be paid in lieu of park and recreational land
dedications.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Fulton, Gard, and Dahl
Noes: Council Members - Carter and Johannessen
Absent: Council Members - None
Resolution No. 88-79 is on file in the office of the City Clerk.

TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP S-23-87 - The Overlook, by Richard
Downs (S-l00-740)
Council was advised that the Planning Commission has granted
permission to subdivide 15 acres into 11 single-family lots, 8
duplex lots, and one 20-unit multiple-family residential lot,
located generally south of Hilltop Drive and west of Palisades Avenue in North Redding, described as Tentative Subdivision Map
S-23-87, The Overlook. A map of the area and a copy of the
conditions of approval were submitted to Council. This was an
information item.
Council Member Carter asked why a public easement along the top
of the bank was not required.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that
staff felt that liability was too great.
Council Member Carter said he does not see any consistency; why
require a public easement on the west side of the river and not
on the other side. He stated that the east bank does not present
any more liability than that of the west bank.
Mayor Dahl asked Council Member Carter if he thought an easement
should be required. Council Member Carter replied no, but we
need to be consistent.
Mr. Perry pointed out that the height of the bank was a concern.
Other than open space easements to prevent erosion of the bluffs,
easements have not been required east of the Bella Vista Water
Station.
