PLAN FOR INCREMENTAL REOPENING OF THE LIBRARY (L-050)
City Manager Christofferson stated that if the passage of Measure L is successful on September 13, the City will need to take a
number of steps to reopen the library. Mr. Christofferson noted that full operation of the library could be possible by March 1, but this represents a six-month time lag which voters are not
likely to expect. He indicated that reopening the library on
less than a fully adequate basis represents some risks to the
collection and service to the public, but is more responsive to
the public's interest in reopening the library as soon as
possible. Mr. Christofferson explained that an advance of
general funds against the new revenue stream would be necessary
to take this action.
Mr. Christofferson indicated that the Enterprise Library branch
could be opened at a minimal cost and would enable citizens on
the east side of the river easier access to library services. It
is the recommendation of the City Manager to reopen the main
library branch and the Enterprise branch some time in October,
and staff will develop a specific proposal that would include
information regarding cost, hours of operation, staffing and
other features.
In response to Council Member Buffum's inquiry, Mr.
Christofferson stated that Carolyn Chambers, who is currently
under contract with Shasta County, would act as interim director
of both library branches.
Council Member Dahl concurred with the recommendation to open the
libraries as soon as possible and commented that the public will
understand that it will take the City some time to completely
restore library services. Mayor Johannessen and Council Member
Buffum concurred.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, approving the recommendation to reopen library service,
including the Enterprise Library branch, as early as possible and
directing staff to develop a specific proposal to include
information regarding cost, hours of operation, staffing, and
other features. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

Corporation.
It is the recommendation of the Assistant City Manager that staff
proceed with its effort to activate an Industrial Development
Authority and ask the bond counsel firm of Jones, Hall, Hill, and
White, to provide the City with the enabling ordinance which will
permit the Redding City Council to activate an Industrial
Development Authority. Mr. McMurry noted that Council would then
adopt resolutions appointing the five members of Council to the
Industrial Development Authority and appointing an attorney to
the Authority.

Senior Planner Keaney recalled that Council referred this
annexation request to various Departments for comment and the
appropriate Boards and Commissions for consideration. Mr. Keaney

east of Abernathy Lane. It is the recommendation of staff that
the annexation request be approved and the resolution commencing
annexation proceedings be adopted.

RESOLUTION - Clover Creek Sewer Assessment District
(A-170-100-080)
Public Works Director Galusha reported that the response to
petitions for the formation of the Clover Creek Sewer Assessment
District has not been good and lacks the level of support needed to form the assessment district. Mr. Galusha conveyed that information meetings were held with various groups, property
owners, and engineers; and it was suggested that the City consider redesigning the two trunk system in favor of a single trunk line. Property owners expressed concern about large unimproved parcels not having a revenue stream to support the
assessment bond repayment and felt that the City was not paying its fair share. Mr. Galusha said the City has historically taken
a neutral position and cannot actively promote the district.
Mr. Galusha noted that staff has conferred with bond counsel
about alternative methods of bond repayment, and financing may be
available for payment on the interest only for the first two
years. He also indicated that the City will be paying for the
oversizing of the lines to the plant. Mayor Johannessen
suggested that staff explore the possibility of "front loading"
the bonds so that property owners can defer payment for several
years.
It is the recommendation of staff to contract with Sharrah Dunlap
and Associates to evaluate the design and promote the formation
of the district. If Sharrah Dunlap and Associates is successful
in forming the district, they would be designated as the design
engineering consultant to the City Public Works Director and
perform the final design work. Mr. Galusha stated that Sharrah
Dunlap has agreed to perform the engineering evaluation and
assessment district coordinating work on a time and material
basis not to exceed $20,000, and the final design work for the
lump sum price of $350,000. Mr. Galusha explained that Sharrah
Dunlap is familiar with the project and was able to gather
support for the original assessment district.
Mayor Johannessen noted his preference for selecting consultants
through the RFP process; however, he pointed out that this is an
extreme situation and therefore concurs with the selection of
Sharrah Dunlap as engineer of the project.

Noes: Council Members - None
Absent: Council Members - Carter and Fulton
