WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
The following letters were considered simultaneously.
Letter from Richard D. Green
- Vice Chairman of the Redding
Redevelopment Agency
(B-080-370)
A letter of resignation was received from the Vice Chairman of the
Redding Redevelopment Agency, Richard Green.
Letter from William Potter
- Redding Planning Commissioner
(B-080-300)
A letter of resignation was received from Redding Planning
Commissioner William Potter.
Referring to the disclosure of financial interests and the prohibition
of acquisition of a financial interest within a redevelopment project
area by any agency, city officer, or employee involved in a
redevelopment project, Council Member Johannessen noted that there is
a need for these rules and regulations; but, he pointed out that laws
are passed and the next 10 to 15 years are spent in the court
interpreting them. He expressed hope that Mr. Potter and Mr. Green,
352
8/15/89
and any other individual considering resigning, would reconsider their
resignations based on this. Council Member Johannessen noted that
there are areas of concern and the limits need to be clarified. He
emphasized that it would be unfortunate if only those people who have
no vested interest in the City could serve on a Commission.
Council Member Buffum concurred with Council Member Johannessen's
statement. She pointed out that the regulations eliminate business
people from serving on a commission, and a cross section of business
and professional minds is important to have. Council Member Buffum
asked if Council could not act on the resignations until a legal
ruling is reached.
City Attorney Hays pointed out that these individuals are concerned
about their inability to acquire property in the survey area; or in
the case of Mr. Potter, inadvertently acquiring a financial interest
in the form of a lien, etc. He explained that their decisions are
based on this point, and the law is straight forward on this issue.
Mr. Hays stated that other commissioners should carefully consider
what kind of concerns they have and deal with the law on a factual
basis.
Council Member Buffum asked Mr. Hays if the resignations should be
accepted and if he has spoken with these Commissioners.
Mr. Hays responded that he has spoken with these Commissioners, and
because of the nature of their business, they believe it is necessary
to resign.
In response to Council Member Fulton's question, Mr. Hays explained
that the law became active in 1986. He pointed out that the law did
not cause trouble prior to this time because the redevelopment project
areas were small; however, the redevelopment areas have been expanded
to include almost one-third of the community.
On behalf of Council, Mayor Carter accepted the resignations of
Richard Green from the Redding Redevelopment Agency and William Potter
from the Redding Planning Commissioner with deep regret.
Letter from Friends of Shasta County Libraries
(L-050)
A letter was received from the Friends of Shasta County Libraries
requesting the opportunity to speak to Council.
Al Weissberg, representing Friends of Shasta County Libraries, stated
that the City and County are entering a new period of cooperation for
the county-wide libraries system. Mr. Weissberg quoted from the
report prepared by State Librarian, Barbara Campbell, which stated
that a community that is recruiting a satellite campus, is served by
the new four-year Simpson College and Shasta Junior College, and will
reach a population of 100,000 people cannot be served by the kind of
library services that are currently being offered. He pointed out
that the Board of Supervisors approved over $300,000 in the budget for
the library. The library was hoping to receive special augmentation
funds; but those funds did not materialize, and there is a shortfall
of $130,000.
Mr. Weissberg conveyed that the County will allocate $65,000 more if
the City will match those funds. He noted that Council is considering
a City budget of $99,000,000; and although Redding is a growing
community, it is a matter of priorities. Mr. Weissberg asked Council
to show faith in the future of Shasta County and allocate an
additional $65,000 to the libraries.
353
8/15/89
Council Member Johannessen stated that Council showed its faith by
allocating $100,000 for the library while the County finds a permanent
source of funding.
Council Member Dahl reiterated that the City allocated $100,000 out of
the general fund for the library, and he pointed out that City
residents are also Shasta County taxpayers. He emphasized that he
wants to see a long-term funding mechanism in place and noted that
there is some confusion about the County's ability to fund the
library. Council Member Dahl said he would like to know what the
County's priorities are that they cannot find the money to fund the
libraries.
Council Member Buffum concurred with Council Member Dahl. She noted
that one city should not fund the libraries for all the cities.
Council Member Fulton said the County should find a permanent source
of money for the library.
Noting that the County may be eligible for more funding from
Sacramento, Mayor Carter told Mr. Weissberg that Council has not

(East of Shasta View Drive, west of Abernathy Lane, and north and

hearing regarding RZ-3-89.

Planning Commission recommendation dated August 8, 1989
354
8/15/89
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that the
Planning Commission recommended prezoning approximately 125 acres to
"R1-A" and "R1-A-B2A" Single Family Residential Districts combined
with the "Special Agricultural Combining District." Mr. Perry added
that the prezoning is being processed in conjunction with Annexation
89-1.
Mr. Perry indicated that the owner of property on the northeast corner
of Shasta View Drive and Old Alturas Road requested that his property
be zoned commercial.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council approve the prezoning
as recommended by the Planning Commission.
Fred Weatherill, 2538 Old Alturas Road, said he is in favor of the
zoning as recommended by the Planning Commission, and opposed to
commercial zoning on the corner of Shasta View and Old Alturas. He
stated that property owners were not notified that this area could be
prezoned commercial.
Joe Machado, 2520 Old Alturas Road, stated that he requested
commercial zoning on the corner of Shasta View and Old Alturas. Mr.
Machado stated that in the alternative he is requesting Unclassified
zoning so that at some future date, if he wants to use the property
other than for residential use, he can apply for a use permit. Mr.
Machado stressed that the traffic count at this corner should double
after completion of Shasta View Drive, and there are a variety of
other zonings at this location. He requested that the property be
prezoned Unclassified with proper notification.
Joy Weatherill, 2538 Old Alturas Road, stated that the request for
unclassified prezoning is a back door way to get commercial at some
later time without notification.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Mr. Perry stated that Mr. Machado is probably not considering a heavy
commercial use, but perhaps a use such as a convenience store. He
explained that a general plan amendment would be required before
commercial zoning could be considered for the parcel. Mr. Perry added
that property across from Mr. Machado's was zoned commercial in 1988
when the owner provided right-of-way for the extension of Shasta View
Drive. He outlined the extent of other commercial zoning in the area
and indicated that there is now adequate commercial zoning. He agreed
that the traffic count will go up.
Council Member Johannessen stated that he is concerned about the
traffic count. He pointed out that a corner with a 14,000 car traffic
count will not be well served by a residential use.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, that Council make the following findings re RZ-3-89:
l. Project is compatible with the Redding General Plan.
2. Project will not significantly alter existing land form.
3. Project is compatible with surrounding land use.
4. Project is compatible with the Code of the City of Redding,
California.
and, ratify the Negative Declaration authorized by the Board of
Administrative Review on May 10, 1989. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

Residential Districts with site-plan review. Mr. Perry stated that

Linda Slater, 1684 Hobo Lane, asked where the northeast boundary lies.
Mr. Perry outlined where the rezoning application boundaries lay.
Karl Tomlinson, 6849 West Waverly, requested that his parcel in the
Hawley Road area be zoned commercial. He explained that his property
is precluded from any other use.
Mr. Perry outlined where Mr. Tomlinson's property is and explained
that staff is recommending that the property be zoned Unclassified.

the future. He pointed out that access to the property is through a
single family subdivision.

(B-130-070)
City Manager Christofferson submitted the Annual Budget for Fiscal
Year 1989-90 with the Table of Changes as authorized by City Council
at the Budget Study Session. Mr. Christofferson noted that the only
change to the Table of Changes was an appropriation in the amount of
$350 for a VCR and tapes for the City Council. It is the
recommendation of staff that the resolution approving the budget be
adopted.
Council Member Dahl emphasized that the budget is the most important
planning document Council has. He pointed out that the size of the
budget is indicative of the growth of the community over the last
several years. Council Member Dahl pointed out that Redding is a full
service community, and the budget for the municipal electric utility
amounts to $40,000,000. Noting that the construction of the
Stillwater Treatment Plant was the number one priority last year, he
expressed pride that the budget reflects the beginning of the
Stillwater Treatment Plant.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, that Resolution No. 89-286 be adopted, a resolution of the

RESOLUTION
- Substance Abuse Policy
(P-100-200)
359
8/15/89
City Manager Christofferson stated that the Drug Free Workplace Act of
1988 passed by Congress requires that all federal grants recipients,
including cities, establish a substance abuse policy for the
workplace. Mr. Christofferson added that this is also a sound policy
in that it attempts to ensure employees are in a condition to perform
their duties safely, efficiently, and in the interest of their fellow
workers, the public, and themselves.
Mr. Christofferson conveyed that the policy drafted by staff
emphasizes the positive aspects of a substance abuse program, such as
rehabilitation and training, and that discipline of an employee with a
substance abuse problem is a last resort after other measures have
failed.
Mr. Christofferson explained that the proposed policy applies to all
unrepresented employees, and the policy will be negotiated with the
represented groups.
Personnel Services Director Bristow emphasized that the policy is very
positive. He conveyed that the policy provides training on the
dangers of alcohol and drug abuse, and supervisors will be trained to
recognize abuse.
Council Member Johannessen noted that staff went to great lengths to
protect the private lives of the employees. Council Member Dahl said
it is a responsible move.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Dahl, that Resolution No. 89-287 be adopted, a resolution of
the City Council of the City of Redding adopting a substance abuse
policy for the Unrepresented Employees of the City of Redding.
Voting was as follows:

REGIONAL FIRING RANGE
(C-070-010-050)
City Clerk Nichols noted that two letters were received from Max
Jenkins dated July 14, 1989, and August 8, 1989, expressing concern
and opposition to the proposed regional firing range.
City Clerk Nichols also noted that petitions in support of the
proposed firing range was received.
Noting that many people attending tonight are concerned about the
proposed regional firing range on the Hunt property, Mayor Carter
distributed a list of the steps completed and steps pending in the
County public hearing process. He said there is a presumption that
the City of Redding is not allowing any input from citizens, but that
is not true. Mayor Carter explained that the process could take as
long as a year.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry outlined the
environmental impact report (EIR) process. He conveyed that the
document is used to identify the impacts of a project and suggests the
manner in which to mitigate those impacts to a successful level. He
added that the EIR is the basis for discussion, but the decision is
handled independently. Mr. Perry explained that the use permit
process is the vehicle by which certain uses are required to obtain
360
8/15/89
use permit, and in this case, the County can approve the project with
conditions or not. Mr. Perry noted that Council has considered many
parcels, and the process of opening escrow was to assure that the
property was available.
Council Member Fulton pointed out that before preparing the EIR, the
City should have a vested interest in the property.
Council Member Johannessen stated that the Hunt property could be an
excellent site. He stated that some kind of controlling interest in
the property should be held before continuing the process; and if this
cannot be obtained, other sites should be pursued.
City Manager Christofferson stated that staff met with Mr. Hunt's
representative and there are several points in the offer in which the
City takes exception. He explained that the price was agreeable; but
staff disagrees with the provision for holding costs. Mr.
Christofferson noted that the escrow will have a long fuse, and Mr.
Hunt believes he should receive some compensation for taking the
property off the market. He added that staff also takes exception to
reappraising the property.
Mr. Christofferson conveyed that the U.S. Department of Fish and Game
(USFG) is willing to contribute up to $300,000 toward the purchase
price. However, the USFG has taken exception to Mr. Hunt's provision
to retain 5/8% of the mineral rights with right of entry. He added
that Mr. Hunt has responded by offering to retain 50% of the mineral
rights with two sites from which service entry could be taken upon
approval by the the City and the USFG. Mr. Christofferson noted that
the offer expires at 5 p.m., August 16, 1989. He recommended that
staff and Council continue negotiating with Mr. Hunt.
Council Member Johannessen stated that the City should not pay holding
costs. He added that another appraisal can be prepared, but that does
not tie the City down to a price. He conveyed that staff should be
absolutely sure that USFG is in agreement with the offer, because they
will not participate if Mr. Hunt wants to retain mineral rights.
Regarding the offer's deadline, Council Member Johannessen stated that
the deadline is not a problem, there is still time to negotiate.
Council Member Dahl concurred and stated that negotiations should
continue.
Mayor Carter noted that the Council received copies of all
communications received by the Board of Supervisors in this matter.
Council Member Buffum addressed those citizens appearing at the
Council meeting and stated that Council appreciates their effort. She
conveyed that Council has taken notice of their presence, Council is
willing to listen; but, she pointed out that this is only the
beginning of the process.
With the concurrence of Council, Mayor Carter stated that the
negotiation process for the Hunt Ranch property for the proposed
regional firing range should continue.
RECESS
At the hour of 8:50 p.m., Mayor Carter declared the meeting recessed.
At the hour of 9:00 p.m., Mayor Carter reconvened the meeting.
WESTERN SHASTA RESOURCE CONSERVATION DISTRICT
361
8/15/89
(A-050-060)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that
Council declined to submit a letter of support to the County on behalf
of the Western Shasta Resource Conservation District request for
special district augmentation funds. Staff was asked to bring back
the applicant list for Council's review prior to the Board of
Supervisors making its final determination. It is the recommendation
of staff that the decision to allocate special district augmentation
funds is the County's business, not the City's, and if the City issues
a letter of support for one applicant, the City should consider all
the requests.
Council Members Buffum, Dahl, and Johannessen concurred with the
recommendation of staff. Mr. Perry indicated that no action is
required.
POLICE AND ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
(C-050-025)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that
Council directed staff to negotiate an amendment to the contract on
the design of the Police and Administration buildings. Mr. Perry
reviewed the amendments as outlined in the Report to City Council
dated August 8, 1989.
Council Member Buffum stated that Council wants to be involved in the
process. Mr. Perry stated that staff has set the program up so
Council will be heavily involved in the decision making process.
In response to Council Member Fulton's inquiry, Mr. Perry stated that
the architects will prepare a workable site plan, establish
architectural elements and materials, determine space needs, prepare
floor plan arrangements, renderings, and models.
Mayor Carter stated that a display model should be built.
Council Member Johannessen stated that the building site should not be
located behind Caltrans.
Council Member Buffum asked why eminent domain procedures are not
being taken. She suggested that staff be more aggressive in its
stance. City Attorney Hays stated that the burden of proof is
different when two public entities are involved, and the City must
prove a higher use.
City Manager Christofferson conveyed that staff will be meeting with
Caltrans. Mayor Carter opined that the matter can be worked out in
other ways besides going to Court.
Council Member Johannessen noted that the State may be able to show
damages and the cost of relocating the yard may fall on the City. He
opined that the City may not even want to use that property. Mr. Hays
stated that the parking lease can be terminated which will make the
site inconvenient for Caltrans. Mr. Perry stated that more discussion
with Caltrans is necessary. He pointed out that the only thing
Council is risking is the site plan.
Mr. Perry indicated that Council will be kept updated on the progress
of staff and the architects.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, to amend the contract on the design of the Police and
Administration buildings with architects, Nichols, Melburg, & Rosetto,
as outlined in the Report to City Council dated August 8, 1989, and
362
8/15/89

concept and site plan task. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

area was prezoned by the Planning Commission. Mr. Perry stated that
66% of the total land value is in favor of annexation, and seven
property owners are not in favor. He added that the opposition
expressed concern about the preservation of Enterprise Skypark as a
viable airport.
Mr. Perry conveyed that three property owners in the area have
indicated that their septic systems are failing and have requested
that Council approve Annexation Agreements with Verna Mills and Roger
Mills, Jr. which would allow them to connect to the City sewer system
now and not wait until the annexation is final.
It is the recommendation of staff that the commencement of annexation
proceedings be approved.
Council Member Johannessen asked if any kind of liability will be
assumed if the Skypark is annexed to the City. City Attorney Hays
explained that the City does not assume any liability because it does
not own the Skypark. Enterprise Skypark is privately owned.

ORDINANCE
- Pertaining to Alcohol in the Central Business District
(A-110-070)
Police Chief Blankenship stated that for approximately 20 years,
problems with the Friday and Saturday night cruise in the central
business district have continued to escalate. Chief Blankenship noted
that adults and juveniles gather on downtown streets and parking lots.
Many of these persons openly consume alcoholic beverages, and
problems directly related to alcohol consumption such as DUI,
intoxication in public, fights, etc., require constant police control.
Chief Blankenship explained that exceptions to the ordinance can be
granted upon request to the City Council. A map delineating the
restricted area was submitted to Council and was defined as the area
bordered by Trinity Street, Court Street, East Street, and Sonoma
Street extended. It is the recommendation of staff that an ordinance
be enacted prohibiting the consumption and possession of alcohol on
public property in the downtown business district.
In response to Council Member Johannessen's question, Chief
Blankenship stated that the owners of private parking lots can give
the Police Department permission to enforce alcohol restriction on
their property also.
Council Member Fulton offered Ordinance No. 1904 for first reading, an
ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Title 6,
Business Taxes, Licenses, and Regulations, of the Redding Municipal
Code by adding Sections 6.38.062 and 6.38.063 pertaining to alcohol in
the Redding Downtown Mall.
LAKE BOULEVARD/NORTHPOINT DRIVE SIGNALIZATION
- Driveway Closure at
310 Lake Boulevard
(L-010-150 & T-080-700)
Public Works Director Galusha reported that the developers of
Northpoint Plaza are required to construct a three-leg traffic signal
at the intersection of Lake Boulevard and Northpoint Drive. Mr.
Galusha indicated that during the review of the construction drawings,
it was determined that two driveways entering into the intersection
from the south were not under signal control. It is therefore
recommended that the westerly driveway at 310 Lake Boulevard be closed
to enhance public safety. Mr. Galusha noted that closure of the
westerly driveway will not prohibit access to the property as the
easterly driveway will remain.
Transportation Coordinator Duryee stated that the building does not
meet current parking requirements, is vacant, and for sale. Mr.
Duryee indicated that Mr. Froslie, from Evergreen Engineering and
representing FHK Development, and Mr. Munhollen, owner of property at
310 Lake Boulevard, were unable to reach an agreement regarding the
driveway merge. Mr. Duryee indicated that FHK Development has
subsequently taken back their offer to curb and gutter the front of
the driveway at 310 Lake Boulevard.
David Munhollen, owner of property located at 310 Lake Boulevard,
stated that Mr. Froslie contacted the lessee of the building and asked
him to sign an agreement regarding the driveway. Mr. Munhollen
366
8/15/89
indicated that Mr. Froslie did not contact him regarding the driveway
access. Mr. Munhollen indicated that the lessee broke the rental
lease when he was told the driveway would be closed. He explained
that he contacted Mr. Froslie and asked that the area behind the
building be paved in exchange for closing the driveway.
In response to Council Member Johannessen's question, City Attorney
Hays stated that the City will assume design liability for the signal.
He added that the City has the authority to close the driveway
pursuant to the Health and Safety Code for safety considerations.
Mayor Carter noted that the value of the property has been raised
substantially due to the development of Northpoint Plaza.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, to close the westerly driveway at 310 Lake Boulevard to
enhance public safety. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
SACRAMENTO RIVER TRAIL PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
- Status Report
(B-050-020 & P-050-460-700)
Associate Civil Engineer Mathis recalled that the contract to
construct the Sacramento River Trail bridge was awarded to Shasta
Constructors, Inc. on May 2, 1989. Mr. Mathis reported that the
contractor has excavated to sound rock at both abutments. The actual
excavation quantities exceeded the estimate amount by 15%,
representing $5,800 at contract prices, and the concrete quantities
placed to date indicate that the final quantity should be within the
contract estimate for that item of work when completed. Mr. Mathis
conveyed that the contractor has constructed the molds to be used in
producing the reinforced concrete bridge segments. A current
construction schedule and photos of the progress were submitted to
Council. This was an information item and no action was required.
RESOLUTION OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY
- Calaboose Creek
Channel Improvement Project
* (C-070-010 & S-070-300-065)
Public Works Director Galusha stated that the Public Works Department
requires a drainage and temporary construction easement over a portion
of property owned by George C. and Bonita J. Russell for the
improvement of Calaboose Creek. An agreement with Mr. and Mrs.
Russell has not been reached, and it is therefore, necessary to
commence eminent domain proceedings.
City Attorney Hays explained that staff is requesting an easement over
the drainage channel already in use by Calaboose Creek. Mr. Hays
noted that Mr. Russell has submitted a letter in his absence. Mr.
Russell states that it is his wish to either have a top placed on the
new channel, have a foot bridge constructed over the top of the
channel, or grant a "right to enter and construct" only and thereby
permitting him to bridge the channel.
Mr. Hays stated that Mr. Russell is asking for a box culvert, and
funds are not available for that extensive of a project. He indicated
that staff might consider an encroachment permit, but the property
owner on the south side of the channel may have something to say about
that.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Dahl, that Resolution No. 89-293 be adopted, a resolution of
the City Council of the City of Redding finding that public
convenience and necessity require the acquisition of an easement over
a certain parcel of real property for public improvements, namely a
367
8/15/89
drainage and temporary construction easement for the Calaboose Creek
Channel Improvement Project, the owners of which are George C. and
Bonita J. Russell.
Voting was as follows:

DISPUTED UTILITY ACCOUNT
- Natalie Calvert - Utility Account 17-2180.7
(U-500-400)
City Attorney Hays outlined the policies of the Customer Service
Department pertaining to the collection of debts incurred for utility
services. Mr. Hays explained that any or all of the tenants residing
at a location are responsible for a debt. He explained that Natalie
Calvert, Ronald Weigart, and Kathy Hardy-Housman resided at 2742
Corona Street from mid-November, 1988, to March 23, 1989, when utility
service was terminated for non-payment of account. The amount of
$187.21 was incurred for utility services from the period of 1-10-89
to 3-23-89. One payment in the amount of $29.44 was received, leaving
an outstanding balance of $157.77, which was transferred to Natalie
Calvert's current utility account. Mr. Hays indicated that all
attempts to contact Ronald Weigart and Kathy Hardy-Housman have
failed.
Robert Brisman, attorney from Legal Services of Northern California
representing Natalie Calvert, stated that he is not attempting to
change policy, but is disputing the billing procedure. Mr. Brisman
explained that Ms. Calvert resided at 2472 Corona Street temporarily
and had an agreement with Mr. Weigart and Ms. Hardy-Housman to pay
rent and a portion of the utility bill. He added that Ms. Calvert
moved from the Corona Street residence to 2958 Leland and established
utility service. Mr. Brisman said there is no statute that would
impose legal responsibility on Ms. Calvert, nor is there any
regulation or contractual obligation. He asked that Council accept
Ms. Calvert's appeal and terminate the payment of $157.77.
Assistant City Attorney Schouten reviewed the history of the billing
record. He explained that Mr. Dennis Walker was the named customer
from October 9, 1988, through January 5, 1989. The account at that
address was turned off on January 5, 1989, because of lack of payment,
and then on January 10, 1989, the account was reopened under the name
of Ronald Weigart. Mr. Schouten stated that Ms. Calvert moved into
the residence in mid-November and lived there through March 1989. He
said it was staff's understanding that the people were living there
pursuant to an unwritten rental agreement. He reiterated that Ms.
Calvert lived in the residence during the period when the utility bill
was incurred, which was January 10, 1989, through March 10, 1989.
368
8/15/89
Council Member Johannessen noted that Mr. Brisman stated that an
agreement was made between the three parties to pay a portion of the
rent and utilities; thus, Ms. Calvert obviously lived there.
Mayor Carter asked if Ms. Calvert could have a claim against Ms.
Hardy-Housman and Mr. Weigart. He noted that Calvert, Hardy-Houseman
and Weigart are all technically liable. Mr. Brisman said he supposed
that Ms. Calvert could have a claim against them.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, to deny the appeal of disputed Utility Account 17-2180.7,
by Ms. Natalie Calvert. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
