She explained that without those funds, Family Planning will be unable to provide family planning services to the low income community. Council Member Fulton asked if Family Planning receives any other money. Ms. Wemette stated that Family Planning also receives Federal Title 10 and Medi-Cal funds. She conveyed that 25% of their patients are on Medi-Cal, and other patients are the working poor who have no health insurance and do not qualify for Medi-Cal. Ms. Wemette explained that if Family Planning is closed, the County will pick up some of the patients, but the County will also lose money. She explained that every $1 of family planning money spent saves $11.50 in Aid to Families with Dependent Children and Medi-Cal. Ms. Wemette pointed out that Family Planning employs 22 people. Ms. Wemette stated that the Governor said he intends to eliminate the office of Family Planning, but he cannot do so without legislation. The Governor has said that if the Legislature fails to pass such a bill, he will cut Family Planning's budget by two-thirds. Council Member Carter asked if it is a philosophical difference or lack of funds. Ms. Wemette conveyed that it is a lack of funds. She said Family Planning needs Council's support to show that cutting Family Planning's budget will not save money, it will cost much more money. Ms. Wemette asked that letters be sent to Governor Deukmejian as well as State Senator Nielsen and State Assemblyman Statham. Council Member Dahl asked if the Shasta County Board of Supervisors has taken a position. Ms. Wemette indicated that discussion has begun.

Notice of Improvement ORDINANCE - Burglary and Robbery Alarm System (P-150-150) Chief of Police Blankenship reported that during 1987, there were 5,131 alarms reported to the Police Department which required police response. Only 72 of the alarms were classified as "actual." The remainder were attributed to equipment malfunctions, management/ homeowner error, storm related, or unknown causes. Chief Blankenship stated that alarm response required 3,735 man hours at a cost in excess of $71,000. Chief Blankenship stated that staff met with Shasta County Sheriff Eoff, Anderson Police Chief Raner, and fourteen alarm companies doing business in Shasta County. It was agreed that adoption of an alarm ordinance would reduce false alarms by removing and prohibiting alarm systems from sounding directly into the Police Department; requiring all alarm systems designed to request an emergency response to have a permit; and provide guidelines for suspending alarm systems which produce excessive false alarms. Chief Blankenship stated that Sergeant Chuck Henry would be the liaison between the Police Department and the alarm companies, and no alarm system could be suspended without a review by Sergeant Henry. Chief Blankenship reviewed the proposed alarm permit fee schedule. It is the recommendation of staff that an alarm ordinance be adopted in order to reduce police response to false alarms. Bob Wilson, 7009 Rivercrest Drive, Anderson, Protech Security Systems, stated that the alarm ordinance is necessary. He noted that the Anderson City Council adopted an alarm ordinance without the alarm permit fee schedule. Mr. Wilson said that Redding's proposed fee schedule is based on actual costs and is not prohibitive. Ken Schwartz, California Safety Company, stated that he is not opposed to removing the alarms from the Police Department, but he is opposed to the adoption of an ordinance. Mr. Schwartz stated that policing a permit system will be impossible, and the definition of an alarm system is too broad. He added that clients should not be charged a fee for an original or renewal permit. Ron Collyer, Titan Security Alarm Data, stated that the monetary savings will not be as significant as predicted. Mr. Collyer expressed his support for the ordinance and pointed out that communication will be improved. He said he is opposed to the permit and fee schedule. Michael Carpenter, 3465 Pioneer Lane, Precision Alarm Systems, conveyed his support for the alarm ordinance; although, he added that the definition of a false alarm is broad. Mr. Carpenter thanked staff for giving the alarm companies the opportunity to participate in the process. 169 4/18/89 Shawn Circey, Northern California Security Systems, stated that a similar ordinance passed in Sacramento was a tremendous success. Mr. Circey pointed out that removing the alarm system from the Police Department will improve officer safety because officers will not be complacent about answering another "false" alarm. He expressed his support for the ordinance. Randy Thompson, 2403 Naomi, Thompson Security, stated that the ordinance is a good idea. Mr. Thompson stated that his costs will increase as a result of removing the alarms from the Police Department. He asked Council to consider not levying the permit fees. Margaret McMahan, 2900 Valentine Lane, opined that a permit fee will be a double tax. She explained that she already pays property taxes for police protection, and the cost for alarm company service will probably rise. Ms. McMahan stated that things should remain the same. Mayor Carter invited Anderson Police Chief Raner and Shasta County Sheriff Eoff to comment. Police Chief Raner stated that Anderson's alarm ordinance will go into effect July 1989. He reiterated that Anderson did not adopt a fee schedule. Chief Raner explained that Anderson will proceed with issuing permits, but will absorb the cost of administering them. He explained that a liaison to the community will be appointed from current staff, and it is not expected that more that 3% to 5% of their time will be used. Council Member Dahl asked Chief Raner if the ordinance would be impacted by not charging for the permit. Chief Raner replied no. Sheriff Eoff pointed out that police must respond to any alarm as an "actual," a Code 3 with red lights, and public safety is being jeopardized. In response to Council Member Fulton's inquiry, Sheriff Eoff stated that the identical ordinance will be brought before the Board of Supervisors for adoption. Council Member Johannessen stated that he is in favor of the ordinance. However, the definition of a false alarm is broad, and there should be more leeway allotted for the number of false alarms during a specific time before the alarm is suspended and the client charged. He asked if audible alarms already in use will be outlawed. Chief Blankenship stated that alarms without a high pitch will be alright. Council Member Johannessen expressed grave concern over the suspension of a permit for fifteen days because of excessive false alarms. He said that, at the least, some type of arrangement should be made with the alarm company so that the alarm will sound in the central alarm center. Council Member Johannessen said there should be no permit fees and an automatic renewal system. Council Member Dahl agreed that there should be no permit fee. He added that Council should discuss the 15-day suspension period further. Council Member Fulton stated that if the permit fee is eliminated, a fee for excessive false alarms should remain. He expressed support for the ordinance. Council Member Buffum agreed. 170 4/18/89 City Attorney Hays explained that the ordinance does not establish a fee schedule. The ordinance authorizes the establishment of a fee schedule by resolution, if Council so wishes. Council Member Dahl pointed out that the ordinance can be amended at a later date. Council Member Fulton offered Ordinance No. 1886 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Redding Municipal Code Title 9, Health and Safety, by adding Chapter 9.38, burglary and robbery alarm system.

PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Denial of Variance Application V-4-89, by Brian Berg (310 Hamilton Street) (L-010-410) The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Carter opened the public hearing regarding V-4-89. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission recommendation dated April 13, 1989 Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that Brian Berg requested a variance to construct an attached two-car garage extending 9.5 feet into the 20-foot front yard setback. Mr. Perry stated that the Planning Commission found that the hardship test had not been met and denied the request. Mr. Berg, subsequently appealed the decision. Mr. Perry explained that the home is on a parcel of approximately 1.3 acres, and is at the north end of the street. A small storage addition on the house extends to within three feet of the street. It is the opinion of staff that an attached garage can be provided in a manner conforming to the City Code, and it is recommended that the variance request be denied. Council Member Fulton pointed out that the request is very minimal compared to the addition on the south side. Council Member Johannessen noted that Hamilton Street is substandard. He asked how the garage will affect the driveways across the street. Mr. Perry stated that the effect will depend on how the cars are parked and the size of the vehicles. Brian Berg, 310 Hamilton Street, submitted pictures of the home and property. Mr. Berg explained that he would have preferred a smaller garage that did not encroach as far into the front setback, but a telephone pole and tree blocked the access, and a variance would still be necessary. He demonstrated how an angled garage would not be aesthetically pleasing, and he pointed out that the bedrooms are located on the north side of the home. Mr. Berg said that every other house on the block has an attached garage and encroaches into the front yard setback. He explained that the detached garage is too small for vehicles, and it is not safe to walk from the garage to the house at night. Mr. Berg conveyed that his neighbor across the street supports the variance and sent a letter stating same to staff. Russell Hunt, 2058 Sonoma Street, expressed support for the variance application. 172 4/18/89 MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Buffum, that the public hearing be closed.

The system will improve dispatching functions, the warrant system, and a variety of other public safety functions. Mr. Christofferson explained that the project requires full time staffing, and staff is recommending that a Shasta County employee fill the position of Project Manager at a cost of $53,000 per fiscal year. He conveyed that the three agencies will share the costs as follows: Shasta County, 45%, Redding, 45%, and Anderson 10%.

Mr. Christofferson conveyed that the audit field work is complete; however, the comments, findings, and recommendations should be issued in approximately two weeks. He recalled that in anticipation of an audit finding that would reallocate receipts, the County withheld current property taxes in the amount of $400,000 from Redding. The City has formally requested that the County meet with City staff to clarify all issues associated with the audit. Mr. Christofferson stated that staff will place this issue on the agenda in 30 days if a reasonable response is not received. This was an information item and no action was necessary. LEGISLATIVE MATTERS (L-040-070 & L-040-300) City Manager Christofferson reviewed the Report to City Council dated April 14, 1989 regarding the League of California Cities Legislative Bulletins 12 and 13. Mr. Christofferson called SB300 and AB471, regarding gas tax measures, to Council's attention and stated that it is probably premature to endorse either bill at this time; however, Council may wish to take a position later. It is the recommendation of the City Manager that Council oppose AB2400 regarding the transient occupancy tax. It is also recommended that SB1278, SB1291, AB2236, and AB1903 regarding housing funds be opposed. It is recommended that SB105 and SCA3 regarding property tax exemptions be opposed, and SB172 regarding mailing of information on proposed bond issues be opposed. Council Member Johannessen stated that he has some concern about the bills relating to housing funds. Mr. Christofferson noted that Council may wish to direct staff to write Senator Seymour and Assemblyman Costa expressing Council's concern about the bills. MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member Buffum, to oppose AB2400, SB105 and SCA3, and SB172 and direct staff to write the appropriate letters for the signature of the Mayor; and direct correspondence to Senator Seymour and Assemblyman Costa regarding SB1278, SB1291, AB2236, and AB1903.

The recommendation was for a temporary approval of four months and subject to conditions as outlined in the attachment to the Report to Council dated April 12, 1989. Mr. Perry explained that the applicant intends to move the animals into the County in the near future; thus, BAR concluded that the issuance of a temporary permit was appropriate. It is the recommendation of staff that the application be approved. MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member Buffum, that Animal Application AP-2-89, by Marilyn Roth, be approved subject to specified conditions, and the City Manager be directed to issue the permit. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP S-2a-89 and S-2b-89 - River Heights Subdivision, by Knighten Development (S-l00-640) Council was advised that the Planning Commission has granted permission to subdivide 12.7 acres into 38 single-family lots, located south of Hilltop Drive and west of Interstate 5, described as Tentative Subdivision Map S-2a-89 and S-2b-89. A map of the area and a copy of the conditions of approval were submitted to Council. This was an information item. SACRAMENTO RIVER TRAIL PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE - Bid Schedule No. 2136 (P-050-460-700) Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that Council took a field trip to Keswick Dam to view its potential as an alternative to a pedestrian bridge. It is the recommendation of staff that the low bid be awarded to Shasta Construction in the amount of $637,720 and that a contingency fund be set up in the amount of $60,000. It is also recommended that applications be submitted for Proposition 70 funds ($167,000) and Roberti Z'Berg funds ($27,698) to make up for the shortfall in funds. Council Member Dahl stated that Keswick Dam is not a feasible alternative as a pedestrian bridge for the Sacramento River Trail. He asked when the deadline for awarding the bid is. Dick Riis, 940 Lincoln, stated that the original intent was to extend the trail to Shasta Dam. Mr. Riis stated that money is scarce and it is ludicrous to build a pedestrian bridge a quarter of a mile below Keswick Dam. He added that very few dams do not allow foot and vehicular traffic. Mr. Riis opined that the Bureau of Reclamation could place traffic bumps on the Dam and limit the traffic speed to 15 mph. Mr. Riis suggested that a pedestrian bridge be constructed at Benton Ranch to the Convention Center. Mr. Perry stated that the low bidder, Shasta Construction, extended the deadline for the award of bid until the end of April. Council Member Dahl asked if that deadline could be extended for 30 days. Council Member Johannessen noted that a pedestrian bridge across the Sacramento River at Benton Ranch would allow museum construction at Benton Ranch and solve the parking problem. 177 4/18/89 Mr. Perry pointed out that a pedestrian bridge at Benton Ranch would be a complete different design. He opined that staff always planned two river crossings. A representative from Shasta Construction conveyed that the deadline cannot be extended because the contractor has a timeline to meet. He explained that the concrete slabs must be poured prior to October. Mr. Perry suggested that Council call a special meeting prior to the end of April. Mayor Carter stated that it is the consensus of Council to call a special meeting regarding the Sacramento River Trail pedestrian bridge. Russell Hunt, 2058 Sonoma, suggested that Council consider building a bridge over Keswick Lake. MARKET STREET PROJECT - Committee Report (R-030-090-600) Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that the Market Street Redevelopment Project Committee met to review the need for the redevelopment project, project area boundaries, and the potential projects that could occur. The committee's report was submitted to Council for review and consideration. Mr. Perry stated that the Redevelopment Agency has entered into a contract for a preliminary plan, obtained legal services to prepare the necessary legal documents, and authorized the circulation of a Request for Proposals to obtain an environmental impact report. Mr. Perry explained that staff does not have a project or boundary recommendation at this point, and Council is invited to provide input. Council Member Dahl suggested that thank you letters be sent to the committee members for their time and effort. ANNEXATION REQUEST 88-5 - Country Oaks Subdivision - Property Tax Exchange Agreement (A-150-126) Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that Council commenced annexation proceedings for Country Oaks Subdivision in January. Mr. Perry stated that before annexation can proceed, it must be approved by the Local Agency Formation Commission, and the City and County must agree to an exchange of property taxes. He conveyed that the County adopted a new property tax exchange resolution eliminating the "inhabited" annexation formula. Mr. Perry stated that staff does not see how the City can accept the "uninhabited" formula and negotiating another formula is contrary to the reason the County gave for changing its procedures, namely, to reduce calculations for the auditor. It is the recommendation of staff to ask the County to use the "inhabited" formula for determining the property tax exchange agreement and advise property owners in the subdivision of the situation. Mayor Carter stated that it is the consensus of Council to support staff's position to ask the County to use the "inhabited" formula to determine the property tax exchange agreement for Annexation 88-5, Country Oaks Subdivision, and advise property owners of the situation. 178 4/18/89 PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MONTHLY STATUS REPORTS (A-050-250) Planning and Community Development Director Perry submitted the Monthly Status Reports for the month of March. The Status reports include (1) redevelopment activities, (2) housing activities, (3) annexations, (4) planning applications, (5) building applications, and (6) parks design.

RESOLUTION - Amendment to Public Access Agreement - Payment Schedule (T-040-050) Planning and Community Development Director Perry noted that the City and Viacom entered into an agreement to fund the Community Access Channel. Mr. Perry conveyed that Viacom has asked if its contribution can be made quarterly rather than in February of each year as per the agreement. It is the recommendation of staff that the change be approved. MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member Johannessen, that Resolution No. 89-134 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving Amendment No. 1 to the Public Access Agreement dated September 2, 1986, between the City of Redding and Viacom Cablevision, authorizing quarterly franchise fee payments, and authorizing the Mayor to sign same.

REDDING MUNICIPAL AIRPORT - Removal of Old Terminal Building (A-090-100) Airports Director Ruff reported that the Airports Commission voted unanimously to recommend demolishing the Municipal Airport old terminal building utilizing the arson training method. It is also the opinion of staff that this building is no longer viable and should be removed. Mr. Ruff conveyed that the control burn is scheduled for May 30 and 31. MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Fulton, authorizing the demolition of the old terminal building at the Municipal Airport by the arson training method. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RESIDENTIAL CURBSIDE RECYCLING PILOT PROGRAM (S-020-550) General Services Director Masingale conveyed that two recycling bills requiring a minimum diversion of at least 25% of all waste from the waste stream have been reintroduced to the State Legislature this year. Staff submitted a residential curbside recycling pilot program to Council for consideration. Mr. Masingale stated that State funds are available to implement and run the program for one year, and it is recommended that staff be authorized to submit a Request for Proposal to the State of California. He explained that the pilot program would encompass an area of 2,500 homes and brightly colored recycling bins would be provided for aluminum, glass, newsprint and polyethylene bottles. The pilot program would be manned with current personnel, and cost the City approximately $68,009.57. State funds are available in the approximate amount of $75,174. 179 4/18/89 Council Member Johannessen asked if the recycling program would affect the automatic waste system. Mr. Masingale said no. Council Member Johannessen asked if the program could be terminated at the end of the year. Mr. Masingale stated that the program could be terminated, and there is a market for the bins. He explained that the pilot program will give staff the opportunity to learn how to run a recycling program. Mr. Masingale reiterated that law may soon mandate a recycling program. Council Member Fulton stated that the City is not ready for this type of program, and it should not be implemented now. Mr. Masingale explained that during the pilot wastewheeler program, the community expressed an interest in recycling. He added that it will be a voluntary program. City Manager Christofferson suggested that a survey be placed in the Redding Report to see what interest there is in recycling. In response to Council Member Buffum's inquiry, Mr. Masingale explained that there will be no incentives for people to recycle. He added that recycling centers are interested in the project. Mr. Masingale said that the City will sell the aluminum, etc. for cash, but it will not be a moneymaking project. Council Member Dahl noted that recycling will extend the life of the landfill. He said that the City should try the pilot program. Assistant Director of General Services Kohn stated that the State retains the right to keep the equipment if the program fails. Litter Abatement Officer Roach pointed out that the South Central landfill has the capacity to service the area for many years, but as time goes by, it will fill up faster and faster. In response to Council Member Johannessen's question, Mr. Masingale explained that an additional truck driver would not be hired, but a current employee would be reassigned. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl to authorize a residential curbside recycling pilot program and submit an RFP to the State of California for State funds to finance same. This motion died for lack of a second. MOTION: Made by Council Member Buffum, seconded by Council Member Dahl, to table the residential curbside recycling pilot program at this time. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Mr. Masingale noted that State funds for a pilot program may be available in October of this year. TRANSFER STATION/RECYCLING CENTER - Environmental Impact Report (S-020-650 & S-020-550 & L-010-075) General Services Director Masingale recalled that a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an environmental impact report for a solid waste transfer station/recycling center was authorized. The RFP was submitted to Council for consideration and staff recommended that the RFP be circulated. 180 4/18/89 Council Member Fulton questioned why an outside consultant is necessary to prepare the EIR. Mr. Masingale explained that there is no one on General Services' staff qualified to prepare an EIR, and the Planning Director does not have staff with the time to prepare an EIR. He added that the transfer station/recycling center will be a controversial issue. MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member Buffum, authorizing staff to circulate the Request for Proposal for the Environmental Impact Report for the Transfer Station/Recycling Center. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes SENIOR CITIZENS HALL - Off-Site Electrical Improvements (C-050-700) Recreation and Parks Director Riley recalled that a new air conditioning system for the Senior Citizen's Hall was approved. The Electric Department had to redesign the primary electric system because of this and other projects in the area, and the source of power was moved approximately 300 feet north of the current location. A street light must be placed at the street access, and the cost for the work is approximately $8500. Mr. Riley noted that the design for the air conditioning project was estimated at an amount not to exceed $16,000. CH1M Hill has indicated that the project will probably be designed for $6,000 to $10,000 less than anticipated. It is the recommendation of staff that the City and the Senior Citizen's organization share the cost of the project 50/50. The City's share of cost would be $1000 from Park Development funds. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Johannessen, authorizing the expenditure of $1000 from Park Development funds for off-site electrical improvements at the Senior Citizen's Hall. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RESOLUTION - Office of Traffic Safety Grant Proposal (G-100-170 & T-080-700) Director of Public Works Galusha recalled that staff submitted a proposal to the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to computerize the City's traffic control device inventory. The OTS tentatively approved the project and suggested a program expansion to include traffic accident data. The cost to the City to proceed with the program is $70,000 for equipment. The OTS will provide $105,000 for consultant work and staff travel, and the Shasta County Regional Transportation Planning Agency would fund up to $50,000 for consultant and/or staff costs during the two year project period. It is the recommendation of staff that the City of Redding enter into an agreement with the Office of Traffic Safety to computerize the traffic control device inventory mapping and merge traffic accident data from the System 38 to the computerized maps. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Buffum, that Resolution No. 89-135 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding authorizing the City Manager to sign necessary documents on behalf of the City of Redding for a grant to computerize the City's Traffic Control Device Inventory Mapping and Traffic Accident Data and endorse the program as outlined in the Report to Council dated April 13, 1989.

RESTRIPING CYPRESS AVENUE - From Hilltop Drive to Bechelli Lane (S-070-100) Director of Public Works Galusha noted that Cypress Avenue is one of Redding's most highly traveled roadways, and the section of Cypress Avenue between Hilltop Drive and Bechelli Lane carries approximately 38,000 vehicles per day. It is anticipated that traffic congestion will increase on Cypress Avenue during the construction activities scheduled for Hartnell Avenue. To improve the traffic capacity along Cypress Avenue, it is proposed that an additional travel lane be added in each direction between Bechelli Lane and Hilltop Drive by modifying the existing striping. Concrete medians will be placed between Bechelli and Hilltop to reduce frictions from driveway side flows. It is the recommendation of staff to repave the roadway and restripe Cypress Avenue between Bechelli Lane and Hilltop Drive at an estimated cost of $50,000. Funds are available in the current budget; and if Council concurs, staff will proceed with bidding the project. MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member Buffum, approving the paving and restriping of Cypress Avenue to add an additional traffic lane in each direction between Bechelli Lane and Hilltop Drive at an estimated cost of $50,000, and authorizing staff to proceed with bidding the project.
