Letter from J.L. Mullins
- re Downtown Mall Parking
(P-030-230)
A letter was received from J.L. Mullins, AT&T Operations Supervisor,
requesting permission to reinstate open parking in the upper southwest
corner after 6 a.m. or exempting AT&T marked vehicles. Mr. Mullins
explained that this parking privilege would not be used by employees,
only for visitors and employees from other locations and out of town.
Transportation Coordinator Duryee stated that the current parking
program in the Downtown Mall has been in effect approximately one
year. The parking permit program and modification of the opening time
to 9 a.m. was the result of extensive public meetings with the Traffic
and Parking Commission and the City Council. It is the recommendation
of staff that no modifications to the parking structure time limits be
considered at this time and a task force be appointed to review and
make recommendations on the total subject of the Downtown Mall.
Council Member Johannessen emphasized that staff and Council have
spent an inordinate amount of time on this issue and over the years
have tried to accommodate the needs of the Mall Merchants and
business.
Council Member Dahl asked if there is a consensus on the composition
of a new task force.
In response to Council Member Dahl's question, Mr. Duryee stated that
a task force would address the broader issues of the Downtown Mall
such as where the Mall is going and how the City should participate in
the long term plan. He pointed out that many departments are involved
with the Mall.
Council Member Dahl asked if there is a consensus to create another
task force. Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated
that he has just read the memo, and does not have a response at this
time. He noted that Council Member Buffum was on the last task force
committee.
37
1/16/90
Council Member Buffum noted that Council could start looking at this
next year.
Mayor Carter stated that some of the most critical letters he has
received are regarding the parking fines received in the Downtown
Mall.
Russ Northrup, General Manager of Payless Drug Store, stated that
reaching an agreement on parking has been a battle. Mr. Northrup
explained that he spent time trying to gain consensus, and he thought
a good plan was in effect. He explained that PT&T asked to be cut
from the Mall Improvement Area when it was established; whereas
Payless pays a parking assessment each year. Mr. Northrup stated that
Payless employees do not park in the structure, they park across the
street. He sees no reason why AT&T should get an exception, and there
is no reason to spend more time on this matter.
Council Member Dahl conveyed that Mr. Northrup dedicated a lot of time
to this issue. He asked if the Mall Merchants are satisfied with the
new parking program.
Mr. Northrup replied yes. He noted that AT&T knew what the parking
situation was when they moved in. Mr. Northrup explained that there
are pressures from new people moving in. He added that off street
parking is available for businesses opening before 9 a.m.
Mayor Carter conveyed that some people have not seen the "no parking"
signs in the Mall structure and received fines. Mr. Northrup
indicated that the Mall Merchants are making new signs which boldly
indicate parking hours.
Council Member Johannessen asked if AT&T was at the public hearing to
discuss the parking program. Mr. Northrup replied no, a Pacific Bell
representative was present, and they are satisfied.
Council Member Buffum asked if the City is paying on the bond for the
construction of the Mall. Council Member Johannessen asked what the
payment is. City Manager Christofferson replied that the City is
paying $300,000 a year.
Council Member Johannessen pointed out that the public is paying that
amount.
Butch Russell, representing J.L. Mullins, stated that Pacific Bell was
the owner of the building when this matter started; and since that
time, there has been a massive reorganization. He explained that
Operations Supervisor Mullins has taken this position, and he is not
asking for employee parking. The parking request is only for
customers of AT&T and employees from out of town. He explained that
parking permits would be difficult to utilize in this situation.
Mayor Carter asked if Mr. Mullins is familiar with the history of the
parking problems in the Downtown Mall. Mr. Russell replied no, he
does not believe that Mr. Mullins is aware of the history. He
explained that Mr. Mullins has been working in this office since
December 1989.
Mayor Carter suggested that a memo explaining the history and parking
situation be sent to Mr. Mullins.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, to deny the request to modify the parking program in the
Downtown Mall and directing staff to send a letter to J.L. Mullins

PUBLIC HEARING
- re Reversion to Acreage of Planned Development PD-6-
80, Hilltop Ridge Condos, by Transaction Companies, Ltd. (275 Hilltop
Drive)
(L-010-210-620)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Carter opened the public
hearing regarding the reversion to acreage of Planned Development PD-
6-80.
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 January 10, 1990
Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that
TransAction Companies, Ltd. the owners of the Hilltop Ridge
Condominium project, have petitioned to revert to acreage and
eliminate the condominium units and leave the property as a
conventional apartment project.
It is the recommendation of staff and the Planning Commission to
approve the reversion to acreage of PD-6-80, subject to retention of a
25-foot pedestrian and bike path easement adjacent to Hilltop Drive
and a 70-foot wide road and utility easement along the south property
line. Mr. Perry recommended that an 84-foot-wide right-of-way
dedication along the northwest property line, intended to be the first
segment in the realignment of Hilltop Drive and Lake Boulevard, be
abandoned as the right-of-way is no longer needed.
Mr. Perry conveyed that the Planning Commission recommended dedication
of right-of-way in the northeast corner of the property to allow for
the future extension of Woodcliff Drive. The dedication requires 60
feet of right-of-way on property owned by Mr. Tom McGregor to the
north of TransAction's property. Mr. Perry reported that a letter was
received from Mr. McGregor stating that additional right-of-way for
Woodcliff Drive should be required along the north edge of the
TransAction property in order to assure compatibility with approved
County Use Permit UP-146-85 for a commercial shopping center. It is
therefore, the recommendation of staff to require 30 feet of right-of-
way along the north property line for a future east-west street to
intersect with the extension of Woodcliff Drive (Alternative 1).
Mayor Carter determined that there were no comments from the floor.

hearing regarding the Appeal of Tentative Subdivision Map S-24-89.
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 January 11, 1990
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that the
Planning Commission approved Tentative Subdivision Map S-24-89 on
December 12, 1989. The applicant, Jerry Nash, subsequently appealed
Condition No. 5 which obligates the developer to construct Victor
Avenue between El Verano Street and the north boundary of Churn Creek
Meadows. Specifically, the developer objects to a change in this
condition over a similar condition applied to Unit 6 in 1987. The
Unit 6 condition required a paved width of 32 feet versus 36 feet of
pavement specified for Unit 7. Mr. Perry explained that there was a
clerical error produced in the Conditions of Approval for Churn Creek
Meadows, Unit 7; and although Condition No. 9 stated 32 feet of
paving, it was both staff's, the Commission's, and Mr. Nash's
understanding that 36 feet of paving was required as stated in the
Minutes of the Planning Commission dated April 14 and April 28, 1987.
The Conditions also require Mr. Nash to construct the Victor Avenue
extension by August 30, 1990; whereas, the 1987 condition did not
require the Victor Avenue improvements until one year after the City
constructed Victor Avenue through its property to the north. Mr.
Perry explained that the City delayed its plans to construct Victor
Avenue in order not to place an undue financial burden on Mr. Nash to
provide unnecessary off-site improvements. With the construction of
Unit 7, it is appropriate that the Victor Avenue improvements be
constructed at this time, regardless of whether the City constructs
Victor Avenue on its property.
It is the recommendation of staff that the appeal be denied. Mr.
Perry noted that the Planning Commission recommended to include
funding for Victor Avenue improvements in the 1990-91 fiscal year
budget; and should Council feel that will not occur, it may be
42
1/16/90
appropriate to modify Condition No. 5 to specify completion of Victor
Avenue to coincide with construction on City land.
In response to an inquiry by Council Member Johannessen, Mr. Perry
explained that the 36-foot standard had been City policy since 1985
and is the requirement for major thoroughfares. He added that Victor
Avenue will ultimately be a 4-lane road.
Public Works Director Galusha stated that the construction of the
City's portion of Victor Avenue is very close to going to bid. The
plans are 99% complete and only the specifications need to be typed.
Jerry Nash, 1600 Filaree Drive, stated that if Council accepts the
Unit 6 requirements for Unit 7, he will attempt to get Victor Avenue
in by Summer. He explained that he has the plans and engineering
ready for 32 feet of paving on Victor Avenue, and if 36 feet of paving
is required, he will have to go through the engineering process all
over again. Mr. Nash stated that he is not sure when those plans
would be approved and ready to go.
Council Member Johannessen asked what the engineering cost will be to
change to 36 feet. Assistant City Engineer Lang estimated $7,000.
Mr. Nash conveyed that his contractor estimated $20,000.
Mr. Galusha estimated the cost of paving the street at $2 per foot for
base and asphalt for a total of $10,000 to $15,000.
Council Member Johannessen pointed out that it is a question of does
the City pay for the additional four feet or does the developer.
Council Member Dahl noted that it is also a question of constructing a
substandard street. He emphasized that the Planning Commission was
unanimous in its decision, there was a typographical error, but Mr.
Nash was aware of what the standard was.
Mr. Nash reiterated that 32 feet was what was approved, the City sent
him the Conditions, and that is what was engineered.
Council Member Dahl stated that both Council and the Planning
Commission want Victor Avenue to go through, and Council intends to
budget for improvements.
Mr. Galusha indicated that if Mr. Nash submitted the plans, staff
would be able to process them in two to three weeks, not three months.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Dahl, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, to deny the Appeal of Tentative Subdivision Map S-24-89, Churn
Creek Meadows, Unit 7, and uphold the decision of the Planning
Commission, and consider funding the Victor Avenue extension
improvements during the 1990-91 budget process. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
PUBLIC HEARING
- re General Plan Amendment GPA-12-87, by City of
Redding (North of Fig Tree Lane)
(G-030-010)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Carter opened the public
hearing regarding GPA-12-87.

1/16/90
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 January 11, 1990
Senior Planner Keaney recalled that Council considered GPA-12-87 in
March 1989. Only portions of the proposed amendments south of Fig
Tree Lane were considered because the Planning Commission had referred
all the area north of Fig Tree back to the Shasta County Airport Land
Use Commission (ALUC). The Commission referred portions of the Plan
back to ALUC because of letters and testimony concerning property off
the ends of the northwest and southeast runways. Two property owners
requested that their land be designated Planned Industrial rather than
large lot residential. The ALUC unanimously approved the Planned
Industrial classifications on both properties and included additional
adjacent lands in the classification in order to establish more
logical land use boundaries.
Mr. Keaney conveyed that the ALUC also recommended that a large area
north of the Airport and east of Stillwater Creek be changed from
"Residential, 1.0 unit per ten acres" to "Residential, 1.0 unit per
five acres." Mr. Keaney reported that the Redding Planning
Commission, ALUC, City staff, Shasta County Planning Commission,
Shasta County staff, and the property owners all support the
recommended plan. Mr. Keaney noted that there are also some policy
revisions in the Airport Area Plan for consideration. It is the
recommendation of staff that GPA-12-87 be approved.
Mayor Carter determined that there were no comments from the floor.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Dahl, to certify the Supplement to EIR-1-82 as adequately
addressing the environmental impacts of the land use, design, and
operational changes proposed by the Part 150 Study and adopt the
Findings of Overriding Considerations pursuant to Sections 15090 and
15091 of CEQA; and approve General Plan Amendment GPA-12-87 in
concept, and direct staff to prepare a resolution to implement GPA-12-
87. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

PUBLIC HEARING
- re General Plan Amendment Application GPA-13-89, by
David Huber (4551 Churn Creek Road)
(G-030-010)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Carter opened the public
hearing regarding GPA-13-89.
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 January 9, 1990
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that the
Planning Commission recommended approval of GPA-13-89, a request to
reclassify property from "Residential, 9.0 units per acre" to "Service
Commercial." The recommendation was subject to recording a use
agreement limiting the property to mini-storage units. It is the
recommendation of staff that GPA-13-89 be approved, in concept, for
one year.
Council Member Johannessen asked why the recommendation is to approve
the amendment application in concept for one year. Mr. Perry replied
that it affords Mr. Huber one year to sign the use agreement, and if
that has not been accomplished in one year, then Mr. Huber is probably
not serious about the proposal.
Joe Puntney, 4480 Hillmonte, stated that it was his understanding that
the service commercial use is limited to a mini storage units. Mr.
Puntney asked, if the general plan amendment is approved and Mr. Huber
does not go ahead with the project, what will happen to the service
commercial designation. Mr. Puntney also asked if Mr. Huber does not
purchase the property or execute the use agreement, will the
designation remain service commercial.
Mr. Perry stated that the use agreement only allows one use, that of a
mini storage. If the property remains idle, the zoning would remain
"U" Unclassified. He explained that there is a reversion clause in
the use agreement that would revert the property's general plan back
to Residential, nine units per acre, if the project does not proceed.
David Huber, 9048 Simmons Road, stated that the use agreement for the
mini warehouse has been signed by himself and the owner of the
property.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Buffum, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, that Council make the following findings re GPA-13-89:
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 November 1, 1989. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Buffum, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, to approve General Plan Amendment GPA-13-89 in concept for one
year and authorize staff to prepare a resolution for consideration
after the execution of the use agreement. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

REGIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING CENTER
(C-070-010-050)
City Manager Christofferson recalled that a a public meeting was held
January 9, 1990, to receive public input that would be useful in the
scoping of the environmental studies. Mr. Christofferson also
recalled that the Department of Fish and Game (DFG) has notified staff
that a grant in the amount of $198,000 for range construction has been
approved, and the DFG is prepared to pay $300,000 for an easement. He
added that final action on the easement will be completed in May when
it is considered by the Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB).
It is the recommendation of staff that Council authorize the opening
of an escrow to acquire the Hunt property for $675,000, subject to an
arrangement with the DFG for a $300,000 payment for a perpetual
easement on residual property not needed for firing range purposes,
with the close of escrow to occur as soon a possible following action
by the WCB and the conclusion of environmental studies.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, authorizing the opening of escrow, with conditions as
previously discussed, and subject to an arrangement with DFG for a
$300,000 payment for a perpetual easement on residual property not
needed for firing range purposes, with the close of escrow to occur as
soon a possible following action by the WCB and the conclusion of
environmental studies. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Mr. Christofferson noted that staff is still adhering to its position
regarding mineral rights. He noted that Council Member Fulton raised
questions about water availability, and although staff has seen water
in the bottom of the canyon, it is still prudent to go ahead with a
well to determine water flow. Mr. Christofferson said it is staff's
intent to state that purchase is subject to the availability of
adequate water flow.
LEGISLATIVE MATTERS
(L-040-300)
City Manager Christofferson recommended that Council support SCA2, a
bill which would permit the issuance of general obligation bonds with
a simple majority vote, provided the proceeds of the bond issue are
used for acquiring and/or improving real property for public purposes,
and not require an increase in the property tax of more than $.05 per
$100 of assessed valuation.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council
Member Dahl, to support SCA2 and authorize the Mayor to send a letter
of support to City representatives and other appropriate officials in
the State Legislature. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
RESOLUTION
- Authorizing Agreement with Municipal Resource Consultants
re Sales Tax Enhancement and Information Services; and
RESOLUTION
- Designating a City Consultant as the Authorized City
Representative
(T-010-700)
Director of Finance Downing noted that the largest single revenue
source for the General Fund is Sales Tax. Ms. Downing explained that
the City Sales and Use tax is based on a proportional one percent tax
rate applied to all taxable sales within City limits with the
remaining portion of the 6 1/4 percent rate divided between the State
and County. The Board of Equalization is charged with overall audit
responsibility; however, staff is inadequate and little audit take
place with regard to point-of-sale taxpayer reporting errors.
46
1/16/90
Ms. Downing stated that a Sales Tax enhancement audit is designed to
identify and correct these taxpayer reporting errors utilizing the
reports provided by the State Board of Equalization. She conveyed
that the audit and information service would be self-funding for the
City, based on the firm's ability to produce new sales tax income
which would not otherwise be realized by the City. It is the
recommendation of staff that a contract be awarded to Municipal
Resources Consultants to perform a sales tax enhancement service.
Municipal Resources Consultants will receive 25% of the newly
generated sales tax income for six quarters plus $5,000 per year.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Dahl, that Resolution No. 90-53 be adopted, a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Redding authorizing execution of an agreement
with Municipal Resources Consultants to provide Sales Tax Enhancement
and Information Services.

RESOLUTION
- Traffic Safety Grant
* (B-130-070 & G-100-170 & P-150-150 & P-100-060)
Police Chief Blankenship recalled that the Police Department applied
for a Traffic Safety Grant through the California Office of Traffic
Safety (OTS). The grant application was accepted by OTS and will
provide 100% funding the first year and 50% funding the second year
for three Police Officers, two Community Service Officers, and a part-
time Cadet. The grant also provides funding for the purchase of a
speed monitoring radar trailer, consultant fees, travel expense, and
supplies. After the second year, the City will be responsible for the
costs of the program.
Chief Blankenship stated that the City will dedicate a Sergeant as the
Traffic Unit Supervisor and one Police Officer to the Traffic Unit.
Two marked patrol units and safety equipment for the new officers will
be purchased. The City's cost for the two year program is $419,182.
The cost for Fiscal Year 1989-90, beginning March 1 through June 30,
1990, will be $55,900.
Chief Blankenship stated that if Council accepts the grant, a
community based Traffic Safety Task Force will be formed to help
prioritize the goals of the Traffic Unit and develop new informative
ideas to reduce traffic congestion and reduce traffic accidents.
48
1/16/90
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council

REDDING SOFTBALL AND SPORTS COMPLEX
(P-050-600-200)
Recreation and Parks Director Riley recalled that Council authorized
staff to negotiate with Sports Complex Consultant Jerry Draggoo for
his estimated fee to prepare the working drawings and technical
specifications. Mr. Draggoo has submitted his costs, estimated at
$187,700, which includes the engineering services for the off-site
improvements. Noting that the Churn Creek Bottom Homeowner's
Association has officially filed a lawsuit in the Shasta County
Superior Court, Mr. Riley stated that this time delay creates a
problem. It is difficult to draft a contractual agreement with the
consultant to design the entire project; therefore, it is recommended
that an agreement with Jerry Draggoo to design the working drawings
and specifications on a time and materials basis be authorized.
Mr. Riley stated that the Park Development Funding Ordinance is
directly affected by this project because the existing ordinance
indicates that funds for projects and programs must be expended within
City limits. It is the recommendation of staff that the ordinance be
amended to read "within two air miles of City limits." Mr. Riley
explained that it is not unusual for municipalities to develop park
and recreational facilities adjacent to existing City limits.
Council Member Fulton asked if the money for consultant work could be
authorized tonight. Mayor Carter noted that the money can be
authorized, but it cannot be spent until the amending ordinance has
been adopted. He emphasized that this is a good project and Council
should move ahead.
Council Member Buffum asked why staff decided on the two mile limit.
She asked if this was case specific and if the language should be more
general. She questioned why the City's sphere of influence was not
used as an indicator.
City Attorney Hays explained that staff struggled to find a
compromise. He pointed out that the boundary will change as the City
limits expand, and he emphasized that it is two air miles. Mr. Hays
noted that two air miles would include extending the Sacramento River
Trail, recreational facilities at the Stillwater Sewage Treatment
Plant, and the softball complex. Mr. Hays noted that none of these
proposed facilities are in the City's sphere of influence. He added
that limiting the area to two air miles will instill confidence in the
public that Council is not going to spend money for recreational
facilities outside the general area.
49
1/16/90
Council Member Dahl stated that this is an equitable limit. He added
that this is a good project.
Council Member Johannessen pointed out that Redding has taken the lead
to provide recreational facilities for the whole area. He questioned
why resources should be limited to a specified area.
Council Member Fulton stated that he is not in favor of the location
of the softball complex. It should be within the City limits. He
pointed out that the ordinance must be changed and there is a
significant amount of money involved. Council Member Fulton added
that the City's resources should be spent within the City.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, authorizing the City Manager to negotiate on a time and
materials basis for the design and specifications of the softball
complex with Jerry Draggoo; and directing staff to submit an ordinance
to Council at the next meeting to amend the Parks Development Funding
Ordinance to include projects within two air miles of City limits.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Buffum, Dahl, Johannessen, and Carter
Noes: Council Members - Fulton

AWARD OF BID
- Bid Schedule No. 2265, Stillwater Regional Wastewater
Treatment Plant; and
RESOLUTION
- Appropriating Funds
* (B-050-020 & B-130-070 & W-010-560)
Director of Public Works Galusha recommended that Bid Schedule No.
2265 (Job No. 9897), the Stillwater Regional Wastewater Treatment
Plant, be awarded to the low bidder, Humphrey Construction of Seattle,
Washington, in the amount of $16,100,000. Mr. Galusha noted that the
low bid is $1.2 million under the engineer's (CH2M Hill) estimate.
Mr. Galusha explained that there is $15,200,000 allocated to plant
construction. It is recommended that funds in the amount of $900,000
be transferred from the Churn Creek lift station project and the
eastside paralleling project to cover the shortfall and that $400,000
be transferred from the Wastewater Utility reserve fund to provide a
construction contingency fund. Mr. Galusha conveyed that staff will
provide on-site inspection; however, staff is negotiating a contract
with CH2M Hill for the supplemental engineering and inspection
services.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, to award Bid Schedule No. 2265 (Job No. 9897),
construction of the Stillwater Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, to
Humphrey Construction, in the amount of $16,100,000. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, that Resolution No. 90-57 be adopted, a resolution of the
City Council of the City of Redding approving and adopting the 33rd

else.
CONVENTION CENTER ROOF REPLACEMENT; and
RESOLUTION
- Allocating Funds
* (C-050-050 & B-130-070)
Public Works Director Galusha recalled that a contract was awarded to
the consulting firm of Nichols, Melburg, and Rosetto in the amount of
$4,810 to perform a feasibility study for replacing the roof on the
Convention Center. Mr. Galusha noted that as part of the study, a
photographic rendering of the Convention Center showing the effect of
the various roof alternatives on the outline of the building was to be
prepared. It was suggested that a scale model of the Convention
Center made to visually show the changes in the roof and be much more
effective in showing the alternatives than the rendering.
Mr. Galusha explained that it will cost $3,000 to create the model.
There is $1,000 left in the contract for the photographic rendering
and the finalizing of the study. If $500 is held back for finalizing
the study, the addition of the model in lieu of the rendering will add
$2,500 to the contract. It is the recommendation of staff that the
contract with Nichols, Melburg, and Rosetto be increased from $4,810
to $7,310 to allow the creation of a scale model of the Convention
Center with various roof alternatives.
Dan Rosetto, Nichols, Melburg, and Rosetto, stated that the impact of
the roof replacement should be considered very carefully. Mr. Rosetto
explained that a 1/8 size model will be constructed with various roof
designs.
Council Member Buffum stated that the model was her idea. She
explained the importance of the Convention Center as the centerpiece
to future development; and noting that water damage is quite
extensive, she emphasized that it is time to preserve the building.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Buffum, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, to increase the contract with Nichols, Melburg, and
Rosetto from $4,810 to $7,310 to allow the creation of a scale model
of the Convention Center with various roof alternatives; and that
Resolution No. 90-58 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of
the City of Redding approving and adopting the 34th Amendment to the
City Budget Resolution No. 89-286 transferring $2,500 from contractual
service savings for completion of the Convention Center Roof Design
Project.

SOFTBALL COMPLEX LITIGATION
(C-090-100 & P-050-600-200)
City Attorney Hays recalled that litigation was filed against the City
on behalf of a group known as the Churn Creek Bottom Homeowner's
Association because of the City's decision to locate the softball
51
1/16/90
complex on Riverside Drive. Mr. Hays explained that the Court has
issued a Writ of Mandate in this matter and one of the alternatives
available to Council is to rescind its approval of the project. He
stated that if Council chooses to ratify the approval, litigation will
continue in Shasta County Superior Court; and if Council should choose
to rescind its action, Council would then begin again to select a new
site for the softball complex. It is the recommendation of staff that
Council ratify its previous approval of the softball complex and the
City Attorney's office will undertake defense of this litigation.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, to ratify the approval of the softball complex.
Voting was as follows:
