search for a site to locate a regional law enforcement training
center and advised that the Hunt Ranch is being considered by a
Task Force charged with the development of a specific plan, a
method of financing the plan, reviewing the environmental
effects, and the potential income from the project.
PUBLIC SAFETY INFORMATION SYSTEMS REPORT
(P-150-150)
Anderson Police Chief Raner commented that an effort is being
made to consolidate information systems among the agencies into a
single unit for record keeping efficiency and to deal with criminals better as Shasta County becomes more urbanized. Shasta County Information Systems Director Brubaker discussed the Integrated Law Enforcement System (ILES) project, stating that in
a meeting on November 30, 1988, it became apparent that the
solutions previously considered for Shasta County Enhanced 911
(E911) would not adequately meet the dispatching needs of the
E-911 environment, and the ILES Task Force determined that a
complete law enforcement system must include warrants, jail
booking, and management, in addition to law enforcement records
and dispatch. The Task Force considered four options and
recommended Option 3 which is outlined in a staff report on file
in the office of the Redding City Clerk and incorporated herein
by reference. The Task Force will present detailed staff
reports, when completed, to the Board of Supervisors and the City
Councils for consideration, including the costs and benefits of
the project of each agency, recommendation of a project manager
and team, and a time schedule.
Sheriff Eoff discussed the status of implementing a countywide
Enhanced 911 System, which is scheduled for installation by the
last quarter of 1990, and reported that interviews for the
position of E911 System Coordinator have been completed, and the
successful candidate should begin work by April 1, 1989. Sheriff
Eoff further stated that in order to implement this enhanced
system, the new Coordinator must validate all Shasta County
addresses for planning and developing the Master Street Address
Guide and must work with local planning agencies on addressing or
readdressing those residences in the County which are currently
unaddressed.
PROPOSED REGIONAL FIRE STUDY
(P-150-070-700)
Community Services Director Preston reviewed the written staff
report, stating that the County of Shasta, the City of Redding
and the Independent Fire Protection Districts are cooperating in
the development of a master plan for fire services for the
developing areas around the cities of Anderson and Redding. The
study to develop this plan is expected to commence in fiscal year
1989-90 and is proposed to be financed with Special Districts
Augmentation Funds and City of Redding General Funds. The cost
of the study is expected to be approximately $40,000, to be
shared on a 50-50 basis between the City of Redding and the
Shasta County Fire Department. In response to a question by
Redding Mayor Johannessen concerning why Redding should share the
cost of the County's fire study, Mr. Preston stated that much of
the future area being studied will be in the City of Redding.
IMPACT AND CHANGES OF COURT CONSOLIDATION
(P-150-150)
Wilson Curle, Presiding Judge of the Municipal Court, reported
that working with a combined calendar is complicated and made
more difficult because of the shortage of court facilities in
Redding. Judge Curle stated that the new calendar is expected to
become operational on Monday, June 5, 1989, and details will be
submitted prior to that time.
JOINT CITY/COUNTY CHILD CARE ACTIVITIES
(G-100-030-034)
Redding Housing Administrator Maurer advised that access to and
the cost of child care in this area is a growing problem. Staff
from the City of Redding, Shasta County, and County Superintendent of Schools have submitted grant proposals that would allow for a long term child care plan; the Superintendent
of Schools has agreed to administer the program and hire staff; if the grant is approved, the American Association of the University of Women will fund office supplies; and the project
will be housed in the GAIN facility.
COUNTYWIDE VEHICLE TARPING PROGRAM
(S-020-900 & S-020-650 & A-030-040)
County Environmental Health Director Mull, with comments by
Redding Litter Abatement Officer Roach, reported on a proposed
ordinance which would provide a gate fee at the landfill/transfer
stations, including funding for a litter abatement program. The
proposal would allow an individual arriving at the landfill with
a tarp-covered load to be charged a gate fee discounted the
amount designated for litter abatement, thus establishing funding
for litter abatement and reducing roadside litter. Upon
completion of a working draft which will be reviewed by contract
operators and agencies involved, information will be sent to the
appropriate governing bodies.
STATUS OF THE JOINT OPERATION OF THE WEST CENTRAL LANDFILL
(S-020-900)
County Public Works Director Curry reviewed a written report
prepared jointly with Redding General Services Director Masingale
on the West Central Landfill and stated that City and County
staffs are reviewing with CH2M Hill plans for the expansion of
the landfill. The construction contract is expected to be
underway this Fall, with the City commencing operation of the
landfill on January 1, 1990. The City of Redding is preparing an
operating plan, which will be approved by the County, and a
budget that will indicate the operating expenses.

issue of providing municipal services in unincorporated areas,
and Supervisor Peters pointed out the concerns expressed by

needed.
STATUS REPORT OF MORTGAGE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
(R-030-100-400)
City of Redding Housing Administrator Maurer and Community Action
Agency Director Ware briefed Council and Board Members concerning
the Mortgage Certificate Program, and pointed out that it should

buyers. A training program concerning the procedures will be
provided to staff, real estate people, and lenders, if the State
approves the application for funding.

(P-150-050-500)
