WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
Letters Regarding Wall Murals Project
(C-110-100)
A letter was received from Rebecca Lowell requesting permission
to speak to Council about a wall murals project in Shasta County
and the subject of sponsorships for those murals. A request to
speak on this subject was also received from Chris Hooykaas.
The Shasta County Arts Council wrote to advise Council they
recommend supporting the murals and welcome the involvement of
the business community in beautifying Redding's downtown area,
non-commercially, and would assist the City in setting guidelines
for murals.
Rebecca Lowell, 2153 Sacramento Street, asked for Council's input
on the wall murals project in the downtown area. She noted that
she has painted many murals and would like to continue. Ms.
Lowell explained that this is a tremendous opportunity for youth
to make a contribution to the community, and the project cannot
happen unless business is participating.
Chris Hooykas, 890 Redbud, stated that he supports the murals
project and asked Council if the project can be pursued. Mr.
Hooykas conveyed that the community has responded positively to
the murals, and the City can have a beautification program
without expending funds. He said that the quality of the murals
is a legitimate concern, but pointed out that the Shasta County
Arts Council is willing to oversee the designs. Mr. Hooykas
suggested that the sign ordinance have stricter guidelines and
themes for the murals could be limited to outdoor and historical
scenes.
Council Member Buffum asked Ms. Lowell about the International
Children's Art Network (ICAN) associated with this project. Ms.
Lowell explained that she initiated ICAN, and it is still in its
beginning stage and not yet a foundation.
In response to Mayor Johannessen's questioning, Ms. Lowell
indicated that she received compensation in the amount of $600
for the mural project on the Police Station and eight children
worked together, as a group, painting the mural. She explained
that the mural she painted on the Cascade Paint building was a
commercial venture.
Council Member Dahl clarified that the question is if the City
wants to promote beautification by the use of murals. He noted
that the City has a process by which a permit for painting murals
can be received.
Planning Director Perry noted that the intent is to make a
distinction between a work of art and a commercial business sign.
He explained that when a proposed mural reaches a certain size,
it must go before the Planning Commission for approval. Mr.
Perry added that another issue to be addressed is how sponsorship
can be rewarded.
Mr. Hooykas noted that allowing some sort of recognition will
make funding these projects easier, and he pointed out that sponsorship is not restricted to business. Ms. Lowell suggested that sponsorship recognition should be identifiable by cars travelling at 30 miles per hour. Mayor Johannessen reviewed the ordinance pertaining to wall
murals. He emphasized that there is a problem with sponsorship identification on a public building and differentiating between a wall mural and advertising.
Council Member Fulton suggested that the issue be referred to
staff to determine what mural themes are appropriate and ways to
encourage business to contribute and receive recognition which is
acceptable, and not of a commercial nature.
Council Member Buffum expressed support for the project on an
interim basis; however, she pointed out that if better buildings
were built, pictures would not need to be painted on them. She
advised that City-owned buildings not be included in the project,
only commercial buildings. Council Member Buffum said the
questions which need to be answered are how many murals and which
buildings. She emphasized that sponsorship should not be placed
so that it could be perceived as advertising.
Council Member Dahl conveyed his willingness to take a further
look at the issue.
Marilyn Adam, Director of the Shasta County Arts Council, stated
that the Arts Council would prefer not to see supergraphics on
walls. She said sponsors could be recognized with a bronze
plaque or signature line, and it is preferable to not be so large
that it could be identified if driving by in a car. Ms. Adam
conveyed the Arts Council's opinion that commercial recognition
not be placed on City-owned buildings. She said the Arts Council
would be happy to work with the City and set up a standing
committee to review the design of proposed murals.
Cheryl Barnum, 2164 Waldon Street, asked Council to consider
amending the ordinance to allow sponsorship on murals. She noted
that it recognizes businesses that are making a difference in the
community.
Pat Hoheisel, F. B. Hart Company, explained that, from a business
standpoint, he believes contributors should be recognized in a
tangible way. Mr. Hoheisel said there is no return without some
type of acknowledgement.
Mayor Johannessen stated that staff should explore the
possibilities of changing the ordinance.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, to refer the issue of the wall murals project to staff,
with advise from the Shasta County Arts Council, and make a
recommendation to Council. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Letter from Robert A. Rehberg - Regarding Sewer Development Near
Keswick Lake
(W-020-560 & W-020-575)
A letter was received from Robert A. Rehberg, Attorney at Law,
representing Tony LaBella, asking Council to reconsider the use
of sewer lift stations in the area near Keswick Lake within the
Redding sphere of influence.
With the concurrence of Council, Mayor Johannessen referred Mr.
Rehberg's request to the appropriate staff for consideration and
review.

letter of protest dated July 19, 1988.
Bond Counsel Sam Sperry stated that it would be appropriate to
hear any protests. He conveyed that the construction bids were
opened on July 19, 1988, and the estimates for Polk Street and LeBrun Lane were reduced by 2% and 7%, respectively. Irma M. Lindley, 3186 Lawrence Road, asked if the roadway is 60 feet across and if she will receive reimbursement for dedicating her property. Associate Civil Engineer Hastings stated that the
roadway is a 36 foot section face to face and 50 feet across including curb and right-of-way for sidewalk behind the curb. He
reiterated that the right-of-way is 50 feet and the roadway is
narrower. Mr. Hastings said it was his understanding that the
property was dedicated as a result of the lot split and there
would not be any reimbursement.

Fulton, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous

Affidavit of Notice of Continued Public Hearing
Planning Commission recommendation dated July 27, 1988
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that
Council referred GPA-9-85 back to the Planning Commission to
consider different land-use classifications south of Viking Way
based on Council's intention to reclassify 36 acres along the
north side of Viking Way as "Industrial." Mr. Perry reported
that the Planning Commission recommended that the designation
south of Viking Way not be changed based on the belief that there
would be more land-use control with the previously recommended
classification, "Single-Family Residential," and land owners
could apply for general plan amendments.
Mr. Perry stated that a letter was received from Ms. Ferol
Boucher requesting that her property south of Viking Way be zoned
"Industrial."
Dr. Brent Collins, 4809 Alta Mesa, stated that he is speaking for
himself, as well as representing Ms. Ferol Boucher. Dr. Collins
stated that when the Board of Supervisors zoned the strip of land
"Industrial," they choose to ignore the area south of Viking Way.
Industrial zoning now surrounds his and Mrs. Boucher's property
to the north and west and to the south is high density
residential. Dr. Collins emphasized that the area is no longer
suitable for single family residences. He requested that the
property south of Viking Way be zoned commercial service or
industrial.
Council Member Dahl suggested that the property be zoned
commercial service and multiple-family residential. Dr. Collins
pointed out that this would divide Ms. Boucher's parcel with two
zonings, and it could be difficult to sell the parcel.
Council Member Buffum suggested that Dr. Collins work with staff
to determine an acceptable placement of the line.
Richard Kelley, 736 Arapaho, said that the Board of Supervisors
chose to leave the zoning on the south side of Viking Way single
family residential and wait and see what type of development
would occur. Mr. Kelley stated that Mrs. Boucher and Dr. Collins
could apply for a general plan amendment. He noted that PG&E
also owns property in the area. Mr. Kelley said the zoning
should remain residential.
Lon Tatum, 3122 Viking Way, stated that Ms. Boucher owns two 20
acres parcels and does not have a lot of street frontage.

PUBLIC HEARING - re Downtown Parking Modifications
* (P-030-150 & P-030-160 & P-030-240)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Johannessen opened
the public hearing re Downtown Parking Modifications.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City
Clerk:
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Public Works Department recommendation dated July 26, 1988
Transportation Coordinator Duryee submitted the proposed parking
modifications to the downtown area for consideration and outlined
them as follows: parking meter and parking permit rate
increases; addition of on-street parking meters in the Courthouse
area; modification of on-street parallel parking to angle parking
on designated streets; and expanding permit parking to designated
two-hour parking streets and Public Parking Lots 8, 9, 10, 11,
and 6.
Mr. Duryee stated that the recommendations provide an overall
improvement to the parking concerns in the downtown area and
provide both long-term parking for employees and short-term
parking for customers. The cost to implement the program is estimated at $78,500 and requires a supplemental appropriation.
The City should realize an estimated increase in annual revenues of $91,854; and after the initial year, increased revenues would apply to the current deficit to operate the downtown area parking
system. In answer to Council Member Fulton's inquiry, Mr. Duryee stated that the existing staff of parking control officers should be
capable of enforcing the additional workload.
Russ Northrup, 2454 Lake Redding Drive, stated that he is
representing Payless Drug Store, as well as the Downtown Mall
Association. Mr. Northrup stated that the Mall is trying to be
competitive, and although they are not happy about the parking
modifications, the parking lot is owned by the City, and the Mall
Association must comply. Mr. Northrup noted that the proposed
parking modifications are a compromise solution, and the
Association was 25 to 1 in favor of the proposal. Mr. Northrup
explained that he empathized with the employees who must pay for
parking and those stores that open before 9:00 a.m. because no
parking provisions have been made for their customers. He
explained that Payless Drug Store would have to relocate if
two-hour parking restrictions were implemented.
Art McBride, 3259 Harlan Drive, stated that he works for the
Shasta County GAIN Program. Mr. McBride submitted a petition
with 105 signatures of downtown area employees opposed to the
proposed monthly permit parking fees and meter parking and stated
that the issue is having to pay to go to work. He conveyed that
GAIN has a parking lot, but their policy has been to leave it for
client use. Mr. McBride explained that if staff were to use the
parking lot, GAIN's clients would be displaced, and program rules
specify that the County must pay for any out of pocket expenses a
client incurs when their presence is required. Mr. McBride
conveyed that the staff at GAIN spends approximately $4000 per
month in the Mall; they are not just employees taking up parking
spaces. He noted that the County did lease a parking lot from
Southern Pacific on Oregon Street, but the City is now
considering that spot for a bus facility.
Mr. Duryee stated that there is a City-owned parking lot that can
be used free of charge and the Southern Pacific parking lot on
Oregon Street is available at this time. He noted that the
Director of GAIN stated that employees would be paid
approximately $11 per month for parking.
Mr. McBride stated that GAIN has not offered any of its employees
parking benefits.
Donna Laughlin, 991 Sunriver, stated that she works for Pacific
Bell and asked about the availability of parking in that area.
Mr. Duryee explained that some streets will be modified to angle
parking and permit parking will be allowed on-street.
Ms. Laughlin stated that the employees are not opposed to permit
parking, and the parking upgrades will satisfy their needs. She
pointed out that the employees at Pacific Bell shop and lunch at
the Mall; they are not just employees in the downtown area, they
are also consumers.
Pat Sullivan, 18770 Iva Drive, Cottonwood, stated that she is not
opposed to paying for a parking permit. Ms. Sullivan explained
that she works day and night shifts and asked about parking
limits. Mr. Duryee explained that the proposal allows for permit
parking up to
24 hours at a time.
Mr. Northrup noted that a great deal of time was spent putting
together a proposal that was best for everyone. He explained
that the Mall appreciates the County and City employees shopping
in the Mall.
Rose Hibley, 4020 Meander Drive, asked how many 24-hour parking
spaces will be available. Mr. Duryee responded that Lot No. 4
will have approximately 71 spaces and the Mall structure will
have 160 spaces.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council
Member Dahl, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, approving the Downtown Area Parking Modifications as
outlined in the Report to Council dated July 26, and directing
staff to prepare the resolution, ordinance, and supplemental
appropriation to implement the program. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes

GPA-9-85, by City of Redding; GPA-11-87, by FHK Investments;

ORDINANCE - Rezoning Application RZ-16-87, by FHK Investments (55
and 133 Lake Boulevard and 301, 355, and 395 Northpoint Drive)
(L-010-230)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that
Council authorized the Mayor to sign a land-use and reimbursement
agreement with the developer of a proposed shopping center. Mr.
Perry stated that the Agreement has been signed, and it is the
recommendation of staff that the ordinance be offered for first
reading.
Council Member Dahl offered Ordinance No. 1857 for first reading,
an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending
Section 18.06.020 of the Redding Municipal Code relating to the
rezoning of certain real property in the City of Redding
(RZ-16-87).
REDDING SPHERE OF INFLUENCE - Segment A
(G-030-150)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that the
Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) has scheduled a public
hearing to consider the sphere of influence between the Redding
Municipal Airport and the Sacramento River. Mr. Perry recalled
that LAFCO placed the area in Redding's sphere in 1983. After
Redding identified the site for a sewer treatment plant, LAFCO
deleted the area from Redding's sphere and placed it in
Andersons.
Mr. Perry conveyed that the City has developed services in the
area; water lines now exist as far south on Airport Road as
Lassen View Lane and electric lines and the 115/230 kV
substations have been completed. The City has also purchased land
on Fig Tree Lane to eliminate incompatible uses with the Airport.
It is the recommendation of staff that the City should seek to
place the area in the Redding sphere of influence.
Mayor Johannessen declared that the area is vital, and the
Airport must be protected. He agreed with staff's recommendation
to include the area in Redding's sphere of influence. Council
concurred and expressed their desire that LAFCO act logically and
sensibly, rather than politically.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, directing staff to prepare the necessary documents to
LAFCO and seek to extend Segment A into the Redding sphere of
influence. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
ORDINANCE - Amend Redding Municipal Code Pertaining to the
Disposition of Unclaimed Property
(P-150-150)
Chief of Police Blankenship conveyed that the Redding Municipal
Code section pertaining to the disposition of unclaimed property
requires retention of unclaimed property for at least six months,
all property be sold through a public auction, and bicycles and
toys which are not purchased at auction to be delivered to the
Shasta County Probation Officer.
It is the recommendation of the Chief of Police that the
ordinance be amended to allow property to be disposed of in three
months, thus requiring one-half the storage area, and unclaimed
property may be obtained by any City Department for public use.
Chief Blankenship stated that bicycles and toys will be retained
by the City of Redding.
Council Member Buffum offered Ordinance No. 1858 for first
reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding
amending Section 2.36.140 of the Redding Municipal Code relating
to disposition of unclaimed property.
