Ms. Maurer indicated that the Community Development Advisory Committee concluded the review process. Ms. Maurer conveyed that the City received an additional $16,000 in CDBG funds for 1989. City staff requested that an additional $10,000 be allocated to the Parkview Area Park Site Acquisition and $400 be allocated for program administration. The Laubach Literacy Council requested an additional $5,600 for supportive services to the literacy program. Ms. Maurer submitted a list of the projected use of funds. She stated that the 1989 CDBG program includes additional requirements such as the Residential Antidisplacement and Relocation Assistance Plan, additional certifications, and a Drug Free Workplace Policy. Mayor Johannessen expressed some concern over the proposed Parkview Area Park. In response to Council Member Fulton inquiry, Ms. Maurer stated that the park will be in the area south of City Hall, but a specific site has not been determined. Ms. Maurer explained that it is a high density, low income area, and there are no facilities for children there. Mr. Perry stated that the park will serve the area from State Street to Grange Street. He pointed out that the park is for very young children who cannot get to South City Park to play. Mr. Perry explained that because of the displacement program, staff will minimize the obligation to replace a house and look for a vacant area. Council Member Carter suggested that the proposal be looked at in further detail. Mr. Perry conveyed that the park was approved in last year's study. He said the Recreation and Parks Commission and Planning Commission will review the proposal and refer it back to Council. Mr. Perry explained that the entire CDBG program can be approved with funds designated for the park included; and if it is no longer a feasible proposal, staff can re-fund the money.

Mr. McMurry indicated that it is necessary for the City to conduct a public hearing to ascertain whether there is any public concern regarding the issuance of such bonds and report any public testimony to the Authority. Mr. McMurry stated that Charles and Loralie Harris and Lee Kellog, CPA, are available for questions. 149 4/4/89 It is the recommendation of the Assistant City Manager that Council approve the resolution and recommend to the Authority that it issue not to exceed $4.5 million in Industrial Development Revenue Bonds for Loralie Originals, Inc.

SHASTA COUNTY LIBRARY (L-050) Mayor Johannessen stated that Council should take decisive action to assure the continuity of library service during the 1989-90 fiscal year. He noted that Shasta County, Anderson, and Redding patched together sufficient resources to maintain a bare bones library until June 30, 1989. The County and Cities are in the midst of budget planning, and while Redding's budget process typically culminates in late June, the County's budget calendar does not conclude until August. Mayor Johannessen noted that the County Supervisors have indicated their desire to continue library funding, but a collective commitment has not been made. Mayor Johannessen suggested that Council assure the County that the City will increase its contribution for library service to $100,000 for fiscal year 1989-90. He added that this would be a continuation 150 4/4/89 of interim financing and is not intended as a permanent commitment. He conveyed that this assumes a good faith effort on the part of the County to pursue the type of long-term funding that has been discussed during the past months. Mayor Johannessen suggested that staff do whatever is needed to include $100,000 for library service in the upcoming budget. Council Member Fulton asked if the County has committed any funds. City Manager Christofferson stated that the County has tentatively committed approximately $300,000 for library services. Mayor Johannessen reiterated that the City's commitment would only be interim funding for one year, and it is important for staff to budget the money and set it aside so we will not get caught short. In response to Council Member Fulton, Director of Finance Downing stated that the money would come from general funds, and if the money is set aside, there will certainly be budget cuts in other areas. She pointed out that this would become a higher priority than some other items. Council Member Carter stated that he is not opposed to planning for library funds in the budget, as long as it is clear that that figure can change. Council Member Buffum concurred. She opined that the County has not done its homework, and she does not want money the City commits to the library to end up in the County's general fund. Council Member Buffum said she is not ready to assure the County that $100,000 will be committed. MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member Fulton, to direct staff to include a budget item totaling $100,000 dedicated to the library during the upcoming budget process. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes AIRPORTS DIRECTOR (A-090-100) City Manager Christofferson introduced and welcomed the new Airports Director, Doyle Ruff. LEGISLATIVE MATTERS (L-040-300 & L-040-070) City Manager Christofferson reviewed the Report to Council dated March 29, 1989, regarding legislative bills, and it is incorporated herein by reference. Mr. Christofferson recommended that Council oppose SB998 and SB1059. It is also recommended that Council support SB1172, oppose AB949, oppose SB1082, support AB694, oppose HR1023, and support HR118. Mr. Christofferson recalled that Supervisor Reit asked Council to reconsider its position opposing AB596. He explained that the bill would generate several hundred thousand dollars for the County for jails and courthouse facilities, and conceivably free up other funds for general fund purposes. Council Member Carter suggested that staff talk further with the County about AB596. 151 4/4/89 City Manager Christofferson stated that he will gather more information and report back to Council. MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member Buffum, supporting SB1172, AB694, and HR118; and opposing SB998, SB1059, AB949, SB1082, and HR1023 and authorizing the appropriate letters sent to legislators; and directing the City Manager to report back on AB596. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME - Request for Access over City Property Between Diestelhorst Bridge and ACID Dam (S-050-230 & E-120-070-425) City Manager Christofferson stated that a letter was received from the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) requesting access over City property to install a new fish ladder on the south end of the ACID dam. Mr. Christofferson said the DFG propose to access the ACID Dam past the "People of Progress" garden site at Diestelhorst Bridge and over the gravel bar above the Dam. He indicated that staff is evaluating the proposal, and Electric Utility Director Lindley will call a meeting of the Lake Redding Committee to evaluate the effect, if any, this project may have on the Lake Redding project. Mr. Christofferson indicated that staff will report back to Council after additional information is gathered. MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member Fulton, directing staff to work with the California Department of Fish and Game regarding access over City property by the ACID Dam and report back to Council. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION - Ratification of Change in Bylaws (B-080-150) City Manager Christofferson stated that the Shasta County Economic Development Corporation (EDC) requested Council to ratify a change in the EDC bylaws. Mr. Christofferson explained that the request is to replace one seat vacated by the Shasta Dam Chamber of Commerce with two at-large seats. He added that the change is unlikely to effect the City and its economic development program. MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member Buffum, ratifying the change in the Economic Development Corporation Bylaws to replace one seat with two at-large seats. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes REDDING WEATHER STATION (A-090-100) City Manager Christofferson recalled that the City has been monitoring the events relating to the status of the Redding Weather Station. Mr. Christofferson noted that the local weather station will not be affected by the Department of Commerce's plan for the modernization and restructuring of the National Weather Service (NWS) for approximately two to four years. However, events are now in motion to close the local weather station, and that will have a long-term negative impact on the Airport, agriculture, industrial development, and a proposed university. Mr. Christofferson stated that staff is working closely with Congressman Herger, and Congressman Herger has appeared before the Federal government on behalf of the City supporting our position to maintain the Redding weather station and locate NEXRAD here. He conveyed that plans to locate NEXRAD in Eureka and Sacramento will not adequately serve the Redding area and northern region because of the 152 4/4/89 mountain ranges and differences in weather such as wind sheers, tornado warnings, and funnel clouds. Mr. Christofferson noted that the plan is to locate a NEXRAD in Sacramento under the Department of Commerce and locate a NEXRAD at Beale Air Force Base outside Marysville. He explained that logic would hold that one of these NEXRADs should be located in Redding. Council Member Carter concurred that this is a serious problem, and he pointed out that it will seriously impact navigational safety. He stated that Council should take a strong stand and pursue this matter further. Chris Fontana, Meteorologist for the National Weather Service, reviewed the background of the plan for modernizing and restructuring the NWS. He emphasized that the plan is to locate 112 NEXRADs and restructure staff wherever they are located. Mr. Fontana noted that Redding will be the largest weather station to be closed west of the Rockies. Mayor Johannessen stated that it is the consensus of Council to authorize staff to continue working with Federal authorities on the status of the Redding Weather Station. ANIMAL PERMIT APPLICATION - AP-1-89, by Suzanne Fremming (3191 Keswick Dam Road) (A-130-140) Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that the Board of Administrative Review unanimously recommended approval of AP- 1-89, a request to stable two horses on property located at 3191 Keswick Dam Road.

Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that Council approved A-4-87 on August 18, 1987, subject to the applicant first recording a parcel map providing for the dedication of a new alignment.

The estimated trail extension costs are $350,000. Mr. Perry stated that the Redding Redevelopment Agency reviewed the proposed trail extension through Benton Ranch and proposed to transfer title of the area along the riverfront designated Park and Greenway to the City of Redding with the understanding that a trail would be built and the City would maintain and police the facility when completed. It is the recommendation of staff that Council adopt a resolution amending the budget, authorize staff to proceed with the design and construction of the trail, and accept an offer of trail right-of-way through Benton Ranch property from the Redding Redevelopment Agency. MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member Fulton, that Resolution No. 89-113 be approved, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving and adopting the 52nd Amendment to the City Budget Resolution No. 88-235 appropriating $350,000 for the extension of the Sacramento River trail through the Benton Ranch as intended in a special gift to the City; and accepting the offer of right-of-way for the trail from the Redding Redevelopment Agency and authorizing staff to prepare the description and deed to be adopted by resolution after the deed is prepared; and authorizing staff to proceed with the design and construction of the trail.

KESWICK DAM FIELD TRIP - re Sacramento River Trail Crossing (P-050-460-700) Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that Council indicated its desire to visit Keswick Dam and view the dam's 154 4/4/89 potential to serve as the Sacramento River Trail crossing. Mr. Perry suggested several dates. It is the consensus of Council to meet at Keswick Dam on April 12, 1989, at 5:15 p.m., to view Keswick Dam's potential to serve as the river trail crossing. RESOLUTION - Approving Amendment No. 2 to TANC Project Agreement No. 2 (E-120-250 & E-120-025) Electric Utility Director Lindley reported that at the Transmission Agency of Northern California (TANC) meeting of February 22, 1989, the Commission agreed by resolution to continue the project construction activity through mid-1990. Project activity will be funded by the issuance of $60 million of additional interim financing. The resolution also recognizes the decision made by the cities of Biggs and Gridley to withdraw from the project, provides for the distribution of project assets in the event TANC terminates its participation, and establishes the rights and obligations for participating TANC members. Mr. Lindley stated that development of the California-Oregon Transmission Project (COTP) is a key factor in Redding's Power Resource Plan. It is, therefore, the recommendation of staff and the Electric Utility Commission to adopt a resolution approving Amendment No. 2 to TANC Project Agreement No. 2 and authorize Redding's participation not to exceed the previously established 17.5% level. Council Member Carter asked if there is any indication that the project may reach a point and stop. Mr. Lindley conveyed that there is some risk involved and a possibility that the project will be delayed or not go forward. He noted that the City has a considerable investment, and it would be in the City's best interest to move this project forward. Council Member Fulton questioned why the cities of Biggs and Gridley dropped out. Mr. Lindley stated that Biggs and Gridley were participants in COTP through the Northern California Power Agency and had a very small interest in the project. He added that it would have been hard to even schedule power for them. Mr. Lindley noted that other utilities have shown an interest in the project. He said it is very likely that their interests will be allocated within TANC or to outside participants. MOTION: Made by Council Member Carter, seconded by Council Member Fulton, that Resolution No. 89-114 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving and authorizing execution of Amendment No. 2 to Project Agreement No. 2 for the California-Oregon Transmission Project (COTP); and authorize Redding's participation thru TANC in the COTP in an amount not to exceed 17.5% of TANC's project share. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Buffum, Carter, Fulton and Johannessen Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - Dahl Resolution No. 89-114 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT PROJECT STATUS REPORT - Second Quarter 1989 (A-050-125) 155 4/4/89 Electric Director Lindley submitted the Electric Department Project Status Report for the Second Quarter. This was an information item and no action was required. ROTARY MEMORIAL PROJECT (C-050-775 & P-050) Recreation and Parks Director Riley recalled that the Rotary Club of Redding requested that a public site be designated for a memorial for deceased Rotarians. The matter was referred to the Recreation and Parks Commission and a site near the Convention and Visitors Bureau was recommended. Mr. Riley stated that the memorial will be a 9-foot high saw mill wheel made of cast iron. A portion of the wheel will be broken off to represent the deceased Rotarians. Noting that he is a member of Rotary, Mayor Johannessen conveyed his appreciation for the remembrance of Rotary members with a memorial; however, he questioned if Council will be opening the door for more requests for City property. Mr. Riley indicated that the Commission was also concerned with this question. Council Member Buffum noted that it is nice to have memorials and Council may consider any further requests on a case-by-case basis. MOTION: Made by Council Member Buffum, seconded by Council Member Fulton, approving a site near the Convention and Visitors Bureau to locate a Redding Rotary Memorial and directing staff to coordinate with the Rotary Clubs on the project. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC WORKS QUARTERLY REPORT - Second Quarter 1989 (A-050-300) Director of Public Works Galusha presented the Public Works Planning Report for the second quarter of 1989. This was an information item and no action was required. CONVENTION CENTER ROOF REPAIR (C-050-050) Supervising Engineer Aasen stated that the Redding Convention Center was constructed in 1970, and since that time, City maintenance personnel have been repairing and patching the flat roof to stop leakage. A report analyzing the roof leakage problem was prepared by Mr. Aasen and submitted to Council for consideration. Mr. Aasen explained that the issue centers around whether to continue maintaining the existing roof or build a new metal roof over it with a new roof drain system. Four alternatives were outlined and cost equivalents for each were reviewed. Mr. Aasen noted that the annual maintenance cost is approximately $17,000, plus another $100,000 every ten years to perform major repairs. There is now $90,000 budgeted for installing an Elastomeric roof coating over the entire roof. He explained that a 20-year sloped metal roof with an improved drain system and little or no maintenance could be constructed for an approximate cost of $400,000. It is the recommendation of staff to prepare a recommendation regarding possible funding sources for the construction of a new metal roof and drain system over the existing roof. An additional $300,000 would be appropriated to combine with the current $90,000 budgeted for roof repair. An artist's rendering would be prepared at a cost of 156 4/4/89 $2000 to $3000 to show the effect of adding the metal roof, and a preliminary design would be prepared to the point where a "design and construct" type of contract could be put up for bid. Council Member Buffum noted that the best use of money would be to construct a new roof. She asked staff to prepare a photograph rendering of the proposed roof. MOTION: Made by Council Member Buffum, seconded by Council Member Fulton, directing staff to proceed with the recommendation to find funding sources for the construction of a new metal roof and drain system for the Convention Center, prepare a photographic rendering of the building to show the effect of a new roof, and complete a preliminary design of the new roof. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes ABATEMENT PROCEEDINGS - Property Located at 5230 East Bonnyview Road, owned by Ronald Hackler (A-030-040) City Attorney Hays stated that abatement proceedings were initiated on June 16, 1987. Despite repeated extensions of time, the owner failed to rehabilitate the structure and the health and safety hazard remained. Mr. Hays explained that the cost of the abatement, including staff time, totaled $2,990.77. The Report and Account of the Fire Marshal were submitted to Council for consideration. It is the recommendation of the City Attorney that Council approve and confirm the Report and Account of the Fire Marshal. Ronald Hackler, 5698 Sacramento Drive, questioned some of the expenses listed on the Report of the Fire Marshal. Mr. Hackler noted that he did not purchase the property until 1987 and there are charges dating from 1986 on the Report. Mr. Hays stated that Mr. Hackler assumed those costs when he purchased the property. (it sure was a temptation to say, and I quote, "he bought the baby with the warts.") Mr. Hackler stated that before purchasing the property, he spoke with the Building Official, and he is being charged for those visits. He added that other charges include speaking to staff about the building permit, but a building permit and electrical permit were purchased. Mr. Hackler added that he was also charged for the water being turned off and on. Mr. Hays said he would be glad to address these issues with Mr. Hackler. Mr. Hackler conveyed that he would like to discuss this matter with Council. Mayor Johannessen stated that Council Members Buffum and Dahl will meet with the City Attorney and Mr. Hackler to discuss the expenses listed on the Report of the Fire Marshal. After that meeting, staff will bring a resolution back to Council for adoption. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Chico Satellite Campus (E-060) Mike Flanagan, representing Associated Students of Shasta College, asked Council to consider adopting a resolution in support of a satellite Chico State College campus in Redding. He explained that Chico State has expressed interest in locating a satellite campus in 157 4/4/89 Redding. Mr. Flanagan opined that there is not a conflict between locating a satellite campus here and the recruitment for a University of California campus of Redding. He encouraged Council to support this matter. Council Member Buffum noted that Simpson College will be offering higher education in the Fall, and they have conveyed their intent to tie some classes to Shasta College courses. Mr. Flanagan stated that Simpson's curriculum has been looked into, and some of the classes are there. He noted, however, that students he has spoken with have shown little interest in attending Simpson College. Mr. Flanagan conveyed that an informal poll of Shasta College and high school students acquired signatures for up to 23 classes from Chico. Mayor Johannessen said it was his understanding that Chico may be interested in locating an outreach type of campus here and the availability of classes would be tied to attendance. He pointed out that a satellite campus would serve higher education and not cater to graduating high school students. Mayor Johannessen suggested that Mr. Flanagan acquire a written statement from Chico State's President, Robin Wilson, what the intent of the proposal would be. Mr. Flanagan indicated that he would follow through. He added that many high school students want to make long-term plans for education and Redding's youth are leaving the area. Council Member Carter added that it is a hardship for many people to commute to Chico, and higher education should be available in Redding. He concurred that an answer from Chico State is necessary to end the speculation. Mr. Flanagan suggested that Council invite Chico State to locate in Redding. He asked that this matter be placed on Council's April 18, 1989 agenda. CLOSED SESSION (C-090-050) Mayor Johannessen stated that pursuant to California Government Code Section 54956.9(b), Council will adjourn to closed session to discuss the settlement of a claim for personal injury filed by Louella Mundell; Claim No. 88-120-610.
