WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
Letter from Lois Grochowski
- re Walnut Avenue
(S-070-100)
A letter was received from Lois Grochowski stating that the unpaved
section of Walnut Avenue is a hazard and should be paved. Ms.
Grochowski notes that an assessment district for street improvements
was voted down in 1981 because of the high cost. She asked Council to
consider waiving complete street improvement regulations for the
unpaved area of Walnut Avenue in order to make the improvements
affordable for the residents.
Public Works Director Galusha stated that the City's longstanding
policy of requiring full improvements on unimproved streets should be
followed. Mr. Galusha explained that there are over 14 miles of
graveled or unimproved streets in the existing road system. He
recommended that the City assist the residents in forming an
assessment district with the City of Redding participating in the
funding of complete street improvements. Mr. Galusha pointed out that
prior to Proposition 13, it was City policy to provide the engineering
and to participate in the street construction by paying for the
paving. He explained that greater participation by the City should
improve the chances of success in forming a street assessment district
in some of the older established neighborhoods. The City's
participation could be funded from a new annual street assessment
district revolving fund or by increasing the annual budget funding for
minor street improvements.
Lois Grochowski, 1580 Walnut Avenue, stated that the unpaved section
of Walnut Street is very dangerous and it is not passable.
Mr. Galusha indicated that the road does need to be graded and will be
scheduled for grading.
Council Member Dahl asked if a supplemental appropriation would be
necessary. Mr. Galusha stated that an appropriation may be necessary
if the work is done this year; however, funds are available in the
minor street improvements budget if Council wants to participate in
the assessment district.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Buffum, to assist the residents of Walnut Avenue in forming an
street improvements assessment district and provide City participation
in the form of engineering and paving. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Letter from Family Planning, Inc.
(B-130-030)
A letter was received from Holly Scrivner, Executive Director of
Family Planning, Inc., stating that Governor Deukmejian has cut the
funding of Family Planning, Inc. by 83%. Ms. Scrivner states that low
income, non Medi-Cal eligible women received the health services of
Family Planning, and as of September 13, 1989, State monies have been
depleted and patients must now pay for all services. Ms. Scrivner
explains that many patients who are unable to pay are going without
services, and the ramifications of the poor not being able to obtain
469
11/7/89
family planning services and entry level medical care will soon become
evident. Ms. Scrivner asked Council to help Family Planning with
financial support.
Council Member Johannessen stated that the City does not have the
funds to support Family Planning.
Mayor Carter stated that he will send a letter to Family Planning
expressing the sentiment of Council that funds are not available.
Letter from Marshall Mayer
(T-080-100)
A letter was received from Marshall Mayer, representing Doc's Hilltop,
stating that the Public Works Department erased the crosswalk in front
of Doc's Hilltop when Hilltop Drive was overlayed as a part of Shasta
County's Hilltop Drive realignment project.
Transportation Coordinator Duryee stated that it is City policy not to
install painted crosswalks at uncontrolled locations. He explained
that when resurfacing projects remove non-conforming markings, the
City does not replace them. Mr. Duryee noted that the parking lot is
across the street from Doc's, and a pedestrian sign could be placed
near the establishment to caution motorists of crossing pedestrians.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, to refer the issue of crossing pedestrians at Doc's
Hilltop to the Traffic and Parking Commission. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes

SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING PROGRAM
(S-020-550)
Council Member Dahl recalled that Council previously considered a
pilot recycling program, and Council chose not to move ahead. He
stated that this is an issue that Council will have to deal with
sooner or later. Council Member Dahl suggested that Council create a
committee of two to review whether or not to move on this.
471
11/7/89
Director of General Services Masingale stated that a second request
for proposal has been received from the State and staff has 90 days to
respond. He indicated that State funds are available for a pilot
curbside recycling program. Mr. Masingale explained that the pilot
program would include 2500 homes and use a three basket system.
Council Member Johannessen recalled that Council was concerned about
convenience. He asked if the pilot program would require two trucks.
Mr. Masingale indicated that a pickup truck pulling a fifth wheel
trailer with various bins would be used. He said that a pilot program
is necessary to determine what Redding's needs are. He conveyed that
the State does want a long term commitment from the City.
Council Member Buffum noted that funds from the State would only be
available for one year and then the City would be on its own. Mr.
Masingale responded affirmatively.
Council Member Buffum asked if staff has considered contracting with
the private sector. Mr. Masingale indicated that there is a private
contractor in Red Bluff but he has not fared well.
Mayor Carter stated that these type of programs are not money makers,
and it will eventually be subsidized by the rate payer.
Council Member Johannessen pointed out that a recycling program can
save up to 20% of the landfill. Council Member Dahl concurred and
stated that the benefits are long term, and if the City does not
implement a program, the State will eventually mandate it. He added
that landfill siting is becoming very difficult.
Mr. Masingale stated that the pilot program will tell staff what kind
of program is necessary and how much rates will have to be raised.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, appointing Council Members Dahl and Johannessen to review the
solid waste recycling program and report back to Council on November
21, 1989. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
INQUIRY FROM SHASTA COUNTY
- re Proposed Regional Firing Range and
Proposed Softball Complex
* (C-070-010-050 & P-050-600-200)
City Manager Christofferson stated that a letter was received from
Shasta County regarding the proposed regional firing range and
proposed softball complex asking what the City's legal authority to
proceed with these projects is without County concurrence in the form
of permits and/or land use approvals. Mr. Christofferson stated that
the Board of Supervisors was asked by the Churn Creek Bottom
Homeowners to join with them in a law suit against the City. The
Board has not taken this approach; however, they have sent the letter.
He stated that the City Attorney has prepared a legal opinion on this
subject, based on an attorney general's opinion. Mr. Christofferson
added that these are policy questions also. A draft response to the
County was submitted to Council for their consideration.
Council Member Johannessen asked that the second page of the draft
response be read into the record.
Mayor Carter read the following: Finally and in light of the
foregoing, it would be counter-productive for the County to attempt
legal action against the City when the City's efforts are positively
oriented toward providing needed facilities that no other agency seems
prepared to provide if we do not. Our funds are too limited to waste
472
11/7/89
on unnecessary legal battles, and we understand that those of the
County are limited as well. We would rather spend our scarce
resources on direct public services and expect that you would also.
Let's concentrate on getting the job done for the public and avoid
costly political posturing. Indeed, we look forward to the County
joining us in partnership on both projects, if not financially, at
least in spirit so that they may be brought to a successful conclusion
at the earliest possible time and in the most cost-effective manner.
Council Member Dahl emphasized that the City is trying to provide
services and take a regional approach on these projects. He
reiterated that the County and City do not have the funds to throw
away on a lawsuit.
Mayor Carter stated that Council made the right decision to place the
softball complex on Riverland Drive. He indicated that the worst
thing that could happen is for the two agencies to tie up needed funds
in a lawsuit. Mayor Carter emphasized that the City is trying to
provide wholesome recreation.
With the concurrence of Council, Mayor Carter authorized the letter to
be sent to the Shasta County Board of Supervisors.
MUNICIPAL AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT POLICIES
(A-050-060-555 & A-090-100)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that
Council referred a draft set of policies for development and lease of
City property at the Municipal Airport to the Planning Commission and
Airports Commission. Mr. Perry reported that the Airports Commission
recommended approval of the policies with one modification, that the
City consider paying real estate commissions. The Planning Commission
also recommended approval subject to the City Council having the
flexibility of paying real estate commissions. The recommended
policies were submitted to Council, and the policies attached to the
Report to City Council dated October 31, 1989, are incorporated by
reference herein.
Council Member Buffum said that it is important that a Council Member
be included on the Technical Advisory Committee. She also stated
that while it would not be appropriate to pay real estate commissions
on a city-wide basis, it would be appropriate to pay real estate
commissions on airport property.
Mr. Perry explained that because Council is the final-decision making
body, he did not include a council member on the Technical Advisory
Committee. Regarding real estate commissions, Mr. Perry stated that
the extra cost would have to be added to the fair market value of the
property or picked up from other sources.
Mayor Carter noted that if an agent secures a client, it would be
appropriate for them to receive a commission.
Council Member Johannessen questioned what the legal position of the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is in regard to real estate
fees. He said the City ought to be in a position to pay real estate
commissions on property they want to market and dispose of.
Mr. Perry conveyed that FAA requires that the property be sold for
fair market value.
Council Member Buffum noted that this Council is involved in committee
work, and one or two council members should be appointed to the
Technical Advisory Committee. She stated that as far as Airport
473
11/7/89
development goes, everyone needs to be on the team and working toward
that goal.
Council Member Dahl concurred with Council Member Buffum. He noted
that the Council liaison to the Airports could serve on the Technical
Advisory Committee and provide that representation. He also expressed
hope that Council could move ahead with the airports policy in concept
and have staff prepare a resolution for the next Council meeting.
Council Member Dahl added that the pros and cons regarding real estate
fees relative to the Airport can be dealt with by the Technical
Advisory Committee and report back with an adequate policy. He added
that fees for the airport area should be considered apart from the
rest of the city.
Jim Graves, Airports Commissioner, stated that when developing and
marketing airports, it is important to develop a relationship with
adjoining property owners regarding the City's intent. It is also a
good idea to include the local brokerage community. He said the City
should not close the door to paying real estate broker commissions.
Commissions should be paid to brokers representing both sides of a
transaction. He added that he is not suggesting that the City be
required to pay a commission, but only that the option be available.
Council Member Johannessen concurred with Mr. Graves.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, to approve the Municipal Airport Development Policies in
concept and direct staff to bring back a resolution with changes
regarding real estate fee commissions and Council representation on
the Technical Advisory Committee at the next meeting. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
Mr. Perry clarified that the development policy will be modified to
state that real estate fees may be paid and Council will have to make
those decisions on a case by case basis. Noting that there may not be
an urgent rush, Mr. Perry asked if there are any matters pending.
Assistant City Manager McMurry stated that there is nothing pending
within the next three or four weeks.
McCONNELL FOUNDATION GRANT
(G-100 & C-070-100 & C-050-050)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that a letter
was received from the McConnell Foundation offering the City a grant
to build a second office building in the nonprofit office park,
Diestelhorst Landing. The Foundation also requested that the Women's
Refuge be given every opportunity to negotiate a lease for the
building. Mr. Perry stated that a second grant was offered to the
City for $25,000 for the sole purpose of providing fireworks for the
Fourth of July 1990. This would be in addition to the $10,000 the
City has already budgeted.
Mr. Perry noted that staff has received two other requests from
nonprofit organizations, Camp Fire and Big Brothers, Big Sisters,
Inc., for office space.
Council Member Johannessen asked if the Women's Refuge will use the
office space for administrative purposes. Mr. Perry replied yes.
Council Member Johannessen noted that there are two alternatives; one
is to build many small buildings or build larger buildings and lease
space. He questioned if the Women's Refuge is aware of the cost of
building maintenance.
474
11/7/89
Mr. Perry noted that it would be more economical to stay within the
architectural guidelines already established.
Council Member Buffum acknowledged the benefit of building larger
buildings and leasing space. She asked if staff could provide more
information about what the needs of the Women's Refuge are and if they
are willing to split the maintenance costs with another nonprofit
group. She also asked if Council can accept the grant, but retain the
right to negotiate.
Mr. Perry indicated that since the needs of the Women's Refuge are not
known, that is a given.
Council Member Dahl stated that the building should be as large as the
United Way building. He noted that maintenance costs are not paid by
the City, and the question is if more than one tenant could occupy the
building. He conveyed that it would be to their benefit to share
costs.
Mr. Perry indicated that it is possible for two or three organizations
to share the building if they can be compatible.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, to accept the grant offer from the McConnell Foundation
for fireworks in the amount of $25,000; to accept the offer to build a
second office building in the Diestelhorst Landing nonprofit office
park; send a letter from the Mayor thanking the McConnell Foundation
for its generosity to the City; directing staff to determine if the
Women's Refuge would like to lease space in the nonprofit park and
what their space needs, are and base the lease agreement on the United
Way lease. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
VIACOM CABLE SERVICE
* (T-040-050 & T-040-350)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that a
letter was received from Terry Dillon, System Manager for Viacom
Cablevision, stating that Viacom has added two new services to its
basic service and finished upgrading the Anderson and Central Valley
area. Mr. Perry conveyed that Viacom is increasing its basic per
month rate by $1.50 for a total of $17.50 per month beginning November
15, 1989.
Council Member Johannessen opined that the rate increase is not
warranted and is not justified by the additional services.
This was an information item and no action was required.
RESOLUTION

application.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, that Resolution No. 89-396 be adopted, a resolution of

RESOLUTION
- Redding East Rotary
(P-050-460-700)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that the
Redding East Rotary offered to construct a restroom building on the
south side of the River Trail. Due to their hard work and fine
craftsmanship, restroom facilities are now available along the trail.
Assisting the Redding East Rotary were several businesses; Guiton's
Pool Center donated the concrete; Van Dyke Construction donated the
roofing and framing; Meek's Building Center donated the lumber; Bell
Hardware donated the metal doors, louvers, and miscellaneous hardware;
P.E. O'Hair donated the plastic pipe; Rex Gusberg Masonry donated the
masonry work; and Seco Manufacturing donated the powder coating, doors
and hardware. It is the recommendation of staff that a resolution of
appreciation be adopted.

CORPORATION YARD
- Viking Way Improvements
(C-070-010 & C-050-100-040 & S-070-100)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that one of
the conditions of purchase for the corporation yard on Viking Way
requires paved access to the yard. Staff has determined that access
off Viking Way would provide the easiest and most cost effective way
to access the property. Three of the four property owners along
Viking Way appear willing to dedicate right-of-way to the City in
exchange for the construction of a two-lane paved road.
It is the recommendation of staff that the City offer to exchange a
two-lane road down the center of the street for the right-of-way and
when the property owners develop, they will finish the street. This
recommendation is subject to the City proceeding with the project at
this location and paved access only being built in conjunction with
the construction of the project.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, authorizing the construction of a two-lane road down the
middle of Viking Way in exchange for right-of-way, and when property
owners develop, the street will be finished by the owners. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes

recommendation of staff that Council approve the amended Engineer's
Report and adopt a resolution providing for amendment of the district

OFFER TO SELL LAND
- by William T. Prince (Riverland Drive and the
Sacramento River)
(C-070-010)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that a
letter was received from William Prince offering to sell land located
between Riverland Drive and the Sacramento River, directly south of
the softball complex, for $40,000. Mr. Perry indicated that the
property could be important as part of the sports complex.
Mr. Perry stated that the property is basically floodplain and could
possibly be used for rafting, fishing access, or a river trail. He
conveyed that the Department of Fish and Game expressed no interest in
acquiring the property; however, the Bureau of Land Management has
been acquiring riverfront property. Noting that other public agencies
may be interested in acquiring the property, Mr. Perry recommended
that staff contact other public agencies to determine interest, and to
refer the question of acquisition to the Recreation and Parks, County
Recreation Commission, Planning Commission, and the consultant for a
recommendation. It is also recommended that staff ask the County for
a General Plan consistency determination as an extension of the sports
complex and whether or not they would oppose annexation; and direct
staff to see if grants are available to acquire the property.
Mayor Carter noted that this property is in escrow to a private buyer
and recommended that staff advise Mr. Prince that the City is not
interested in acquiring the property.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Buffum, directing staff to notify William Prince that the City
is not interested in acquiring the property located between Riverland
Drive and the Sacramento River. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
SACRAMENTO RIVER TRAIL
- Extension Through Benton Ranch
(P-050-460-700)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed the
progress of the Sacramento River Trail extension through Lake Redding,
Caldwell Park, and Benton Ranch. Mr. Perry stated that trail
construction near designated sites on the Benton Ranch call for
archaeological-mitigation work if the trail alignment preferred by
staff is chosen. He explained that the preferred alignment follows an
existing dirt roadbed which is within view of the river and would
minimize grading and tree removal. Mr. Perry recommended that the
trail alignment remain close to the river and that archaeological-
478
11/7/89
mitigation work be completed at this time by Coyote and Fox. Mr.
Perry noted that Coyote and Fox completed the initial archaeological
assessment.
By general consensus, Council concurred with the recommendation.
ANNEXATION 89-12

Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that
Annexation Request 89-12, Collyer Drive, was referred to Departments

environmental determination, and to the Planning Commission for
prezoning. Mr. Perry reviewed the comments from Departments. It is
the recommendation of staff that the annexation be approved.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Buffum, seconded by Council Member
Dahl, that Resolution No. 89-400 be adopted, a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Redding of application by the City of Redding
requesting the Local Agency Formation Commission to take proceedings

RESOLUTION ACCEPTING STREETS and Acceptance of Improvements, North
Point Plaza Shopping Center (Northwest corner of the intersection of
North Market Street (SR273) and Lake Boulevard)
* (S-070-230 & L-010-150)
Public Works Director Galusha reported that the developer of North
Point Plaza, FHK Companies, has completed the installation of all
public improvements in the shopping center, completed the extension of
North Point Drive, and paid all fees as of November 1, 1989. Mr.
Galusha conveyed that the developers of the North Point Apartments,
Allen Orwitz, et al., have securities on file to guarantee the
completion of a portion of the street improvements along North Point
Drive. FHK Companies has indicated that the sharing of the cost for
the construction of North Point Drive has been accomplished.
It is the recommendation of staff that the improvements in North Point
Plaza shopping center be accepted as satisfactorily completed and the
City Clerk be instructed to return the securities to the developers of
the apartments. It is also recommended that the streets be accepted
for maintenance.
Vi Klaseen, 2295 Oak Ridge Drive, said she is concerned about project
development and the City's grading policy and saving trees and natural
growth. Mrs. Klaseen stated that erosion is taking place in the
wetlands area on the southeast corner of the North Point Plaza
shopping center. She added that rainwater also rolls off the parking
lot into the wetlands, the catch basin is not big enough, and the area
around the storm drain box has eroded. Mrs. Klaseen also conveyed
that cement trucks have dumped excess cement into the wetlands. She
emphasized that what has been done to the pond is not acceptable.
Mrs. Klaseen said she contacted the Fish and Game and mentioned the
erosion. She noted that it seems that the pond is nobody's baby, and
many people are concerned about this wetlands area and want it to be
treated as such. Mrs. Klaseen stated that although the City may not
479
11/7/89
have jurisdiction in this area, the City still needs to move on
developing a better grading and preservation policy to maintain the
natural habitat as soon as possible.
Mr. Galusha stated that Mrs. Klaseen is right about the catch basin,
and there is erosion around the pond. He added that the wetlands area
is under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Game Department and the
developers will have to reseed the property and do other work. He
added that the acceptance of improvements has nothing to do with the
pond, the pond is on State right-of-way.
Council Member Johannessen stated that the wetlands is no longer a
natural area. He wondered how the Fish and Game Department believed
the area could be maintained in a natural state. He said the whole
idea has lost something.
Mr. Galusha noted that the Fish and Game Department agreed to
preservation of the wetlands as a mitigation measure.
Council Member Dahl stated that Mrs. Klaseen raised some valid points.
The community is asking how all this development will affect the
environment. He recalled that tree preservation and grading policies
were discussed at the joint City Council/Planning Commission meeting,
and he asked what progress the Commission has made on these issues.
Mr. Perry stated that the Commission is addressing it at the level of
applying conditions to subdivision maps. He added that he will be
reviewing a background paper with the Commission and bringing them up
to speed. He explained that a balance between the two extremes will
have to be made.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Buffum, that Resolution No. 89-401 be adopted, a resolution of
the City Council of the City of Redding accepting for maintenance and
operation that portion of North Point Drive bordering the North Point
Plaza Shopping Center and extending from Lake Boulevard to Redwood
Boulevard and North Market Street (SR273).
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Buffum, Dahl, Johannessen, and Carter
