PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Use Permit UP-3-90, by William Bunting, Margaret McKeown, and Francis Remedios (105 Hartnell Avenue) (L-010-390) The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Vice Mayor Buffum opened the public hearing regarding Appeal of Use Permit UP-3-90, by William Bunting, et al. 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 March 29, 1990 Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that the Planning Commission approved a use permit request by Norm Stamm to establish a night club with joint-use parking. Letters of appeal were received from William Bunting, Margaret McKeown, and Francis Remedios. Mr. Perry reported that the primary issues is whether or not this is an appropriate location for a night club as described in the letter from Mr. and Mrs. Stamm and as conditioned by the Planning Commission. Mr. Perry explained that the issues related to this were shared parking, hours of operation, land use compatibility, and type of establishment. Mr. Perry conveyed that the building is located within a commercial center and will occupy 4,680 square feet of a new 14,000 square-foot retail building. The primary emphasis of the center is of a professional office nature. It is the recommendation of staff that the appeal be denied. The only disadvantage is that the night club utilizes shared parking. All other factors indicate this would be an appropriate location in a commercial center. Noting that there was some controversy regarding whether the proposed project is a dance hall or a night club, Council Member Buffum asked if the 180 day review period would still stand if the facility is deemed to be a night club. Mr. Perry stated that the review period is a condition of approval of the use permit. Staff has made the determination that this is a public dance facility. Norman Stamm, 1759 Marlene Avenue, submitted letters from the Tuxedo Den, Rent-a-Center, and Party Express in Chico, and The Bloomin' Attic in Roseville, stating that the nightclubs, Lollypops and The Jukebox, in Chico and Roseville respectively, were not detrimental to their businesses. Mr. Stamm also submitted pictures of Lollypops and The Jukebox and the surrounding area. Mr. Stamm conveyed that the club, to be called Flashbacks, will feature 50's nostalgia and married couples will be the targeted clientele. He added that there is a cover charge, a dress code, and it will cater to an upscale crowd. Mr. Stamm explained that The Almond Orchard in Chico, where Lollypops is located, stated that the club has helped their businesses. City planners in Chico and Roseville have not had a problem with the nightclubs, the permits were not issued as a dance hall, and there was no 180-day review period. Mr. Stamm asked Council to review the application to see if the classification fits. He stated that it should be reclassified as a night club. Council Member Johannessen noted that one of Mr. Stamm's references, The Bloomin' Attic, states that the Jukebox is not only for the young 154 4/3/90 and single, but for people in their 50's. He added that The Almond Orchard is mainly a retail operation. Council Member Fulton asked what type of beverages will be served. Mr. Stamm conveyed that beer and wine will be served. He will only serve hard liquor if it becomes a necessity; however, his research has shown that it is not necessary. Shirley Stamm, 1759 Marlene Avenue, stated that the nightclub will cater to those that are 35 years old and up. It will not be a wild and crazy type of place. Ms. Stamm noted that they will be making a large investment, and they do not want any trouble. Myron Parry, Vice President of Real Estate and Property Management for Fabricland, stated that $1.2 million has been invested in Fabricland, and $40,000 was just spent on remodeling. Mr. Parry stated that Fabricland has many women customers, and if there is anything that inhibits those people, they will not patronize the store. He noted that the working hours overlap because the store is open until 9 p.m., and Fabricland needs all of its parking area. He said it does not make sense to provide parking to other business when they need what they have. Council Member Buffum asked if Fabricland is part of the joint parking agreement. Mr. Parry replied that they are not. Richard Regan, Director of Security for Fabricland, stated that Fabricland has experience with a tavern being located near their business in another area. Mr. Regan stated that it is not an atmosphere conducive for women to come and buy fabric. He conveyed that Fabricland would like to keep this shopping center free from that type of environment. Dorothy Calhoun, 105 Hartnell Avenue, Creative Financial Planning, stated her opposition to approval of a use permit to establish a tavern. Ms. Calhoun stated that when they leased their space, they were assured that the building would be for retail and office uses. A picture of a sign advertising Retail/Office space for lease was submitted. Ms. Calhoun explained that they intend to hold seminars at night and are concerned about the atmosphere. She pointed out that when they applied for insurance, they were given a preferred risk rate based on the fact that restaurants and bars were not located in the same building. Mary Jo Bunting, 121 Hartnell Avenue, Skipper's Restaurant, pointed out that 50's and 60's nostalgia is really big with young people right now. Ms. Bunting conveyed that her other restaurant is located near Lollypops in The Almond Orchard; however, the situation is different. Flashbacks would not be consistent or compatible with the center as this office complex is comprised of doctors, lawyers, and professionals, and they are concerned about their image being downgraded. Ms. Bunting stated that Skipper's is a family oriented restaurant. Beer and wine is sold, but it is in conjunction with food. Ms. Bunting expressed concern about noise, possible vandalism, loss of safety, and parking. She pointed out that parking at Skipper's will be impacted first because it is the closest parking facility to the tavern. Skipper's lot is 95% full during peak hours of operation. Ms. Bunting said she is concerned about their insurance rates rising because of the increased liability. She opined that Mr. Stamm will apply for a liquor license in August through the lottery because they cannot afford not to. 155 4/3/90 Richard Gamble, 105 Hartnell Avenue, Rent-to-Own, stated that he has five large plate glass windows in the front of his store, and he is concerned about breakage from fighting and vandalism. He asked who is going to pay for the damage. Mr. Gamble explained that when he signed the lease, he had no idea this type of use would be considered; and if he had known, he never would have signed a 5-year lease. He pointed out that he keeps a large stock of TVs, VCRs, and stereos that will be susceptible to loss. Francis Remedios, 153 Hartnell Avenue, Remedios Chiropractic, objected to locating a bar near his office. Mr. Remedios stated that the owner of the complex placed the buildings in a haphazard manner and there have been car accidents and many near misses. He pointed out that alcohol will further impair those driver's ability. Mr. Remedios conveyed that his building has been vandalized twice in the last six months and he opposes any use that will increase the risk. He opined that the Stamms should pick up the tab for the extra insurance rate. Gary Stokes, developer of the facility, stated that each one of the parcel owners in this development has signed a joint parking agreement to be in effect forever. Mr. Stokes explained that zoning to the north is Retail and zoning to the south is Office. He noted that Skipper's sells alcohol and opined that those who drink there may be the ones that cause the traffic collisions. He added that there is a traffic signal on Hartnell Avenue that may be used for exiting the complex. Mr. Stokes conveyed that the building was advertised as commercial. He said that he thoroughly researched the nightclubs in Roseville and Chico before agreeing to locate a club in this building; and The Bloomin' Attic conveyed to him that they do work at night, and they have not had problems. Margaret McKeown, 105 Hartnell, stated that Flashbacks sounds like a good concept, but it is in the wrong location. Ms. McKeown stated that they chose this building to locate their business because of the office atmosphere. She said a tavern is not appropriate next to professional businesses. Ms. McKeown said the tavern will impact the parking area and create a hazardous condition. She noted that cars must weave in and out to move through the parking area. Ms. McKeown emphasized that eating and drinking at Skipper's is different than sitting in a tavern drinking without food. She added that the signage states that Retail and Office space is available for lease, and they would not have leased this space had they known this type of use would be locating there. Jim Graves, 3712 Sunflower, stated that he is a property owner and tenant in this complex. Mr. Graves pointed out that The Jukebox and Lollypops are located in shopping centers, not in professional office complexes. He said they will not benefit by the increased traffic because there are already access and parking problems. Becuase of the resurgence of 50's and 60's nostalgia, Flashbacks will attract a younger crowd; and if they are successful, Flashbacks will probably promote a happy hour. Mr. Graves opined that additional parking will be required earlier in the evening, and Skipper's will be impacted. Mr. Graves requested that Council deny the application for the use permit. Bill Bunting, 121 Hartnell, stated that traffic problems will increase if the use permit is granted, and parking will overflow into Skipper's parking lot. The use is noncompatible and will create noisy and drunk behavior. As a property owner, Mr. Bunting expressed concern about his property being downgraded. Mr. Stamm noted that having people around at night may cut down on the vandalism Mr. Remedios spoke of. He stated that drunken and rowdy 156 4/3/90 behavior does not happen at these types of places. Mr. Stamm explained that he will not apply for a liquor license from the State lottery because those are for full-fledged restaurants. He conveyed that the Rent-to-Own business in Chico is near the Almond Orchard and they have never experienced vandalism; and in fact, the letter states that Lollypops has helped their business. MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member Dahl, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Council Member Dahl stated that the only valid argument against the use permit is the traffic impact. He asked what the Planning Commission's thoughts were and what were the issues. He pointed out that any successful business will generate traffic. Mr. Perry conveyed that the issue was shared parking and who will have to share. He indicated that, pursuant to the use permit, Flashbacks cannot open until 5 p.m. That, however, would not preclude a happy hour, because most people get off work at 5 p.m. Council Member Fulton asked if Mr. Stamm is willing to meet the requirements of the use permit pertaining to a dance hall. Mr. Perry conveyed that Mr. Stamm would like to be considered a night club, rather than a dance hall, and he would prefer not to meet those requirements relating to use of security guards and the 180-day review period. Council Member Johannessen noted that it is difficult for Council to deny this use after it has approved the dance hall in the downtown area. He stated that this use is not compatible with the surrounding businesses. Council Member Johannessen motioned to uphold the appeal of Use Permit UP-3-90, by William Bunting, et al. This motion failed for lack of a second. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Fulton, to deny the Appeal of Use Permit UP-3-90 by William Bunting, Margaret McKeown, and Francis Remedios, and Council finds that Use Permit UP-3-90 is categorically exempt under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act and based upon the testimony presented by staff and in accordance with Section 18.70.050 of the Redding Municipal Code, Council finds that the use permit, with the conditions as recommended, will not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the area nor will it be detrimental or injurious to property and that the permit be granted subject to the conditions of UP-3-90. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Buffum, Dahl, and Fulton. Noes: Council Members - Johannessen Absent: Council Members - Carter PUBLIC HEARING - re 1990-1992 Community Development Block Grant Program (G-100-030-035 The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Vice Mayor Buffum opened the public hearing regarding the 1990-1992 Community Development Block Grant Program. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: 157 4/3/90 Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Community Development Advisory Committee recommendation dated March 27, 1990 Housing Administrator Maurer reported that the Community Development Advisory Committee concluded their three month process of considering recommendations to Council for development of a two-year Community Development Program. Ms. Maurer conveyed that the Committee developed a matrix scoring system to apply to all funding requests to make the selection process more quantifiable and fair. Ms. Maurer reviewed the programs recommended by the Committee. It is the recommendation of staff to approve the proposed Statement of Community Development Objectives and Projected Use of Funds for 1990- 91 and 1991-92, and the Community Development Plan, and the City Manager be authorized to file the 1990 CDBG Final Statement with the Department of Housing and Urban Development. David Kehoe, Chairman of the Community Development Advisory Committee, explained how the matrix scoring system was developed and how it was used by the committee. Noting that two letters were received requesting CDBG funding for the community gardens through People of Progress, Council Member Buffum asked what ranking the community gardens received. Ms. Maurer stated that the request for funds for the community garden was rated number 15. She explained that under CDBG regulations, a maximum of 15% of the total grant can be allocated to projects in the Public Service category. She added that CDBG funds have been given to the community gardens for the past three years for water lines and the actual operation of the gardens. Ms. Maurer explained that the land is still available for this use. Planning and Community Development Director Perry reiterated that there is a maximum allotment of public service projects, and if Council chooses to fund other projects, funds will have to be deducted from the recommended projects. He pointed out that South City Park has been allocated $25,000 in 1991-92, so there is some flexibility. Barbara Condon, 700 Severtson, stated that she is the volunteer community garden manager. Ms. Condon stated that over 200 families are presently involved in the gardens, and there is a waiting list of 100 more families. She explained that the gardens serve many senior citizens and Southeast Asian families and added that the gardens are both economically and socially important to the Southeast Asian families. The requested funds will help pay for water and one staff gardener. Ms. Condon conveyed that "Greenthumb" allocates one gardener to the community gardens under the condition that there is another full time gardener there. The presence of the gardeners keeps vandalism down. She added that this is a time when the gardens need to expand. More land and funding is needed. In response to Council Member Johannessen's question, City Manager Christofferson conveyed that the cost of water for the gardens is $2000 a year. Barbara Grosch, 1701 Edgewood, Director of the Southeast Asian Christian Ministry, emphasized that the gardens are very important to the refugee families. The gardens are of cultural importance, and they enable members of the family to be productive and contribute to the family by supplementing the household income. The gardens helps refugee women suffering from loss of traditional support and builds a 158 4/3/90 sense of community in Redding. It also reduces racial tension by allowing different cultural groups to work together. Ann Williams, Director of People of Progress (POP), stated that the community gardens are unique in that it is a project which enhances a person's ability to be self sufficient. Ms. Williams pointed out that not one family gardener has come to POP and asked for emergency food assistance. She explained that the request will fund one part-time minimum wage gardener. Ms. Williams emphasized that there must be one full-time gardener in the garden to be eligible for support from Greenthumb. She said that POP donated an additional $700 for water last year, and there is a need for a third garden site. She asked Council to identify a way to fund the program. Katy Tyree, 4121 Terrace Drive, stressed the importance of the gardens to the Asian refugee families and especially to the women who can make a contribution to their families. Mr. Tyree asked Council to please consider a way to supply the necessary money to keep the community gardens alive. Brad Brown, 1570 Chestnut Street, noted that he is aware of the 15% limit that can be allocated to public service activities. However, he pointed out that it is Council's job to assess if the Advisory Committee's recommendations have been properly determined. Mr. Brown noted that this is the first year the matrix system has been used, and he questioned if the system is accurate. He asked Council to consider taking $1,000 from each service program and allocate it to the community gardens and provide free water to the gardens. Mr. Brown stated that it is not a great deal of money, but the program has a great deal of value. Lucy Garlit, 707 Hemlock, Golden Umbrella, asked if the recommendations are going to be reevaluated, will Council reconsider the Golden Umbrella's request to fund the Alzheimer's Disease respite care center. It is Golden Umbrella's intention to begin a respite care program, and funds would provide staff and services for one year. At that time, the respite center would be eligible to receive grant funds from the State of California and could expand into a regional center. Joann Gannon, 8367 Placer, Golden Umbrella, conveyed how Alzheimer's Disease can impact a family and caretakers can also become victims. Ms. Gannon explained that there is no place in Redding to place parents with Alzheimer's to enable caretakers time to themselves. The respite center will provide a service to those with Alzheimer's and a support group for caretakers. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Fulton, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Council Member Dahl noted that the CDBG program has some flexibility because it is a 2-year program. He pointed out that the Women's Refuge is becoming instrumental to the Police Department program, and after the two-year program, the Refuge will probably become part of the general budget. Council Member Dahl emphasized that there is not enough CDBG money to go around. He said the City should help fund the community gardens and hopefully, other nonprofit groups will also help. Council Member Fulton recalled that he served with Council Member Barbara Gard on the revenue sharing committee. He stated that that committee did not have a matrix system, and this numbering system is not the answer to the problem. Council Member Fulton said the community gardens is a worthwhile project. He added that the request 159 4/3/90 is only a pittance, and Council is arguing about a few thousand dollars. Council Member Fulton said he is in favor of reconsidering the recommendation and in favor of allocating $8000 to the community gardens. Council Member Buffum agreed that the community gardens should be supported. She pointed out that it is a small amount of money. Council Member Johannessen noted that the matrix system is a method by which a decision can be made unemotionally. He said there is no doubt that the requests are worthwhile; however, the research done by the Advisory Committee was thorough. Council Member Dahl asked what would be involved if the allocated amounts were juggled. Mr. Perry explained that adoption of the program would have to come back to Council for reconsideration. Council Member Dahl suggested that an appropriation from the general fund be allocated to the community garden. He stated that Council could adopt the CDBG program tonight in order to get the paper trail moving, and an appropriation from the general fund for the community gardens can be brought back at the next meeting. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Johannessen, approving the Statement of Community Development Objectives and Projected Use of Funds for 1990-91 and 1991-92, the Community Development Plan, and that Resolution No. 90-159 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding authorizing the City Manager to file a final statement of community development objectives and projected use of fund for $406,000 with the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Buffum, Dahl, Fulton, and Johannessen Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - Carter Resolution No. 90-159 is on file in the office of the City Clerk.

(T-100-150) The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Vice Mayor Buffum opened the continued public hearing regarding the public convenience and necessity for a Limousines Owner's Permit. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Affidvait of Continue Public Hearing City Attorney Hays stated that, at this time, there are no active business licenses issued to limousine owners. Carl Bismarck, 1192 B, Morrow Road, Medford, Oregon, stated that there is a need for a limousine service in Redding. Mr. Bismarck explained that they will begin with two limousines and hope to expand their service. Vice Mayor Buffum determined that there no further comments from the floor. 160 4/3/90 MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Fulton, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Dahl, determining that there is a public convenience and necessity for a limousine service, and that approval is subject to submittal of a financial statement, appropriate insurance certificate, and the approval of vehicle(s) by the Chief of Police.

RODEO PARADE (P-010-100) Council Member Dahl stated that the Rodeo Parade is part of Redding's heritage. He requested that the parade float fee of $10 per float be waived. Noting that whether or not the parade float fee should be abolished is a broader issue, Council Member Dahl said it should be discussed in further detail at a later time. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Fulton, to waive the parade float fee of $10 per float for the Rodeo Parade. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes 161 4/3/90 CHURN CREEK PRESERVATION PROJECT (L-010-050) Council Member Dahl stated that Churn Creek is Redding's largest stream. He noted that the City is setting aside the 100-year flood plains of creeks and streams into open space easements of land dedicated to the City to protect them. However, population growth is occurring which results in trash, stream banks breaking down from bicycles and off-road vehicles, urban contaminants, etc., and thus, the streams and creeks are being destroyed. Council Member Dahl requested that Council take the lead and establish a citizen's committee to deal with the issues. The initial focus would be on community education and development of a management plan for Churn Creek. He added that if this is successful, it could be broadened to include other streams. Bill Rackley, 3638 Somerset, stated that he is concerned about Churn Creek. Mr. Rackley noted that Churn Creek used to support salmon and steelhead. Development is impacting the creek, and the Shasta Dam Area Public Utilities District wants to increase the outfall for treated effluent into the creek. He conveyed that people are very excited about improving Churn Creek, and Mr. Rackley requested that Council support Council Member Dahl's suggestion. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Johannessen, to create a task force to deal with the impact on Churn Creek and authorize the Mayor to appoint a committee. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ACCIDENTS - Response to Grand Jury (B-080-600-800 & P-150-050-500) City Manager Christofferson noted that the Grand Jury sent a letter regarding a plan for hazardous materials accidents, a joint powers agreement for hazardous materials response, making findings and recommendations, and requiring a response within 90 days. Mr. Christofferson noted that the Hazardous Material Incident Response Plan for the City is still identified as a working draft and has not been adopted by the City Council. He conveyed that staff will be meeting on April 6, and the draft will be submitted to Council for consideration as soon after that as possible. Mr. Christofferson conveyed that the Grand Jury recommended the establishment of a joint powers agreement and this may be considered, as suggested, if other potential agencies are also interested. It is the recommendation of the City Manager to authorize the Mayor to send a response to the Grand Jury. MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Dahl, authorizing the Mayor to send a letter to the Grand Jury responding to their letter on hazardous materials accidents. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes LEGISLATIVE MATTERS (L-040-300) City Manager Christofferson recommended that Council oppose SB2565 regarding the transient occupancy tax. He also suggested that Council oppose SB2443 relating to binding arbitration for public safety employees. 162 4/3/90 It was the consensus of City Council to oppose SB2565 and SB2443 and authorize the Mayor to send letters to legislators and the appropriate committees. TRAUMA CENTER (A-050-060) City Manager Christofferson stated that Gerald Knepp, executive director of Redding Medical Center (RMC), requested Council's endorsement of RMC's recognition as a Trauma Center. Mr. Christofferson noted that both RMC and Mercy Medical Center are competing for this designation and that only one will be selected to serve this region. It is the recommendation of the City Manager to authorize the Mayor to send a letter to both hospitals indicating the City's support for the idea of designating one of the two hospitals a Trauma center for the region. MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member Dahl, authorizing the Mayor to send a letter to Redding Medical Center and Mercy Medical Center indicating the City's support for the idea of designating one of the two hospitals as a Trauma center for the region. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PROPERTY TAX BILL (L-040-300 & T-010-650) City Manager Christofferson recalled that a number of months ago the County of Shasta discovered in an audit that property tax collections in the years since Proposition 13 had not been done in a manner that was fully consistent with State guidelines and some correction in the system would be necessary. The correction has resulted in a minor loss to the City and a fairly major loss to the City of Anderson. Assemblyman Statham is carrying a bill, AB3308, in an attempt to rectify the situation. The League of California Cities asked the City for a position on AB3308. The bill will have a negative impact on the City of Redding in the approximate amount of $15,000. However, it is a reasonable approach to correcting an inequity and not an unreasonable price to pay in order to correct the situation. It is the recommendation of the City Manager to support AB3308 and authorize the Mayor to convey that to the League of California Cities and to Assemblyman Statham. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Johannessen, to support AB3308, and send a letter of support to the League of California Cities and to Assemblyman Statham. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RESOLUTION - Council Policy for the Annual Budget and Positions * (A-060-060-555 & B-130-070 & P-100) Director of Finance Downing submitted six policy statements regarding the following: General Budget Goals, Budget Financing Goals, Budget Service Level Goals, Annual Budget, Budget Amendments, and Position Policy.

RESOLUTION - Annexation 89-14, Girvan Road (South and east of Pit Road and north of Clear Creek) (A-150-220) 164 4/3/90 Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that Annexation 89-14, Girvan Road, was referred to Departments for review, the Board of Administrative Review for an environmental determination, and the Planning Commission for prezoning. Staff contacted other property owners within the peninsula to determine interest in annexation. One property owner was opposed, one had no preference, and two did not respond. The purpose of this annexation is to develop the property and to receive City services. It is the recommendation of staff to approve the annexation as proposed. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Fulton, that Council make the following findings regarding Annexation 89-14: 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.

RESOLUTION - Annexation 88-7, Old Highway 44 (East of Old Oregon Trail and north of Old 44 Drive) (A-150-206) Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that Annexation 88-7, Old Highway 44, was referred to Departments for comment, to the Board of Administrative Review for an environmental determination, and to the Planning Commission for prezoning. Staff contacted other property owners in the area to determine their interest in annexation. The original applicant decided not to proceed; however, one property owner who was contacted, whose parcel was split as a result of LAFCO action on a previous annexation, has requested that the remainder of his parcel be annexed. Because this annexation is to correct an error, it is the opinion of staff to ask LAFCO to waive the annexation fee. The purpose of the annexation is to develop the parcel under City standards and to receive City services. It is the recommendation of staff to approve the annexation as proposed. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Fulton, that Council make the following findings regarding Annexation 88-7: l. Project is compatible with the Redding General Plan. 2.

McCONNELL FOUNDATION PROPOSALS (G-100) Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that the City submitted a list of potential projects for consideration by the McConnell Foundation for funding. The Foundation has invited formal proposals on the following: a third building for the Nonprofit Office Park (Diestelhorst Landing); night lighting for a soccer field at Enterprise High School, and funds for the 4th of July Fireworks in 1991. Mr. Perry suggested that a priority list of tenants for the nonprofit office park be submitted along with the cost estimate to build buildings of different sizes. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Fulton, that the City file grant proposals to the McConnell Foundation for a third building for the Nonprofit Office Park (Diestelhorst Landing), night lighting for a soccer field at Enterprise High School, and funds for the 4th of July Fireworks in 1991. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes ABANDONMENT APPLICATION A-2-90 - Redding Medical Center (A-010-100) Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that Redding Medical Center has requested the abandonment of Butte Street between East and Liberty Streets and Liberty Street between Highway 299 and Yuba Street in order to allow the hospital to expand in a southward direction. Mr. Perry reported that the Planning Commission recommended denial of the closure of Butte Street and directed that further study be made on the implications of the closure of Liberty Street. The Planning Commission believed that more information was needed and that the realignment of Butte Street needed to be evaluated in the context of the entire downtown area. Mr. Perry said that only the abandonment was advertised at the public hearing, and if an in-depth evaluation of the proposal and its alternatives are considered, a larger notice of public hearing should be given. Mr. Perry indicated that subsequent to the Commission's recommendation, a letter was received from Redding Medical Center asking that the referral be referred back to the Commission to consider a modified approach. Mr. Perry recalled that Council referred the acquisition of property at 1005 Yuba Street for the future realignment of Butte Street to the Redevelopment Agency, and on March 26, 1990, the Agency authorized 166 4/3/90 exercising the option agreement. However, in light of the work that needs to be done and the consensus that must be reached, it is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency be asked not to acquire the property. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Johannessen, to refer Abandonment Application A-2-90, by Redding Medical Center, to the Planning Commission to consider the modified request to keep the requests for Liberty Street and Butte Street together as part of the same consideration. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member Dahl, to direct the Redding Redevelopment Agency to cease the acquisition of 1005 Yuba Street.

REDDING MUNICIPAL AIRPORT - Request for Full Service Fixed Base Operator (A-090-100) Airports Director Ruff conveyed that the local aviation community has been discussing the need for a second "full service" Fixed Base Operation (FBO) at the Municipal Airport, and two written requests have been received. The intended location for a second FBO is at the old "Northstar" facility. It is the recommendation of the Airports Director to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit interest in a second "full service" Fixed Base Operator at Redding Municipal Airport. Mr. Ruff stated that staff intends to use the services of the Airport Master Plan Consultant in the preparation of the RFP. He added that the contract will be under $5,000. MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member Dahl, authorizing the preparation and distribution of a Request for Proposal to solicit interest in a second "full service" Fixed Base Operator at Redding Municipal Airport. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MUNICIPAL AND BENTON AIRPORTS - Capital Projects (A-090-020 & A-090-100) Airports Director Ruff reported that there are some fundamental and needed capital projects at the Municipal and Benton Airports that must be completed as soon as possible. Each of the projects is eligible for FAA Entitlement Funding through the Federal Airport Improvement Program and/or loans through the Caltrans Division of Aeronautics Airport Loan Program. The projects are: perimeter fencing around the Municipal Airport, repairs to the aircraft parking apron at Benton Airport, and construction of a 10-unit enclosed T-hangar building and a 15-unit open shade hangar at Benton Airport. Noting that there are 81 people on the waiting list for hangar spaces at Benton Airport, Council Member Johannessen asked why staff is only asking for 25 spaces. Mr. Ruff explained that some people are on multiple waiting lists. Staff will be reviewing the list and making a determination of what the need really is. 167 4/3/90 Council Member Johannessen stated that there are economic reasons to build hangars, and he asked if private funds can be used to construct hangars. He noted that if the private sector is allowed to build hangars, more aircraft will be on the field which will increase revenue. He added that if the City can build the hangars, that is great, but if not, then private owners should be able to. Council Member Johannessen added that the private-owned hangars will eventually revert back to the City. Mr. Ruff noted that there is a responsibility to make the airport fiscally stable. The City needs to build the hangars so the airport will derive the benefit. If the private sector builds the hangars, the City will only receive revenue from leasing the land. Mr. Ruff explained that a general aviation airport's primary revenue stream is from hangar rentals. If the private sector finances the hangars, they will be leased on a long term basis, and it will be 20 years before the airport receives any revenue. If the City finances the hangars, benefit will be derived in four to six years. MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Dahl, authorizing staff to initiate the necessary grant applications for Federal Aviation Administration entitlement funding and the loan applications for the Caltrans Airport Loan Program funding. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MASTER WATER PLAN (W-030-300 & W-030-400) Public Works Director Galusha recalled that Council reviewed the Master Water Plan update at a study session on March 13, 1990. Mr. Galusha conveyed that preliminary studies indicate that with current connection and benefit fees, there will be a $6 million shortfall for capital improvements through the year 2000. A funding plan needs to be undertaken to develop the fees and rates necessary to meet the needs of the water utility in the area of capital improvements and maintenance and operation of the system. Mr. Galusha noted that the Master Water Plan identifies those capital outlay items that are needed for the long-range development of the water utility. One major capital project identified is the need for an additional water treatment plant to serve the Buckeye Area. Staff is recommending a site located at Benson Drive and the Spring Creek Conduit. It is the recommendation of staff to adopt the 1989 Master Water Plan, direct staff to develop a funding/revenue program to construct the improvements outlined in the Master Water Plan, and authorize staff to develop a Request for Proposal for the design of the Buckeye Water Treatment Plant at the Benson Drive site.
