that uses on the Sacramento River be regulated and restricted as
provided by State law, including, but not limited to, establishing
speed limit zones, banning or prohibiting non-compatible uses, and
restricting the use of high speed boats, jets skis, racing boats, and
jet boats.
Michael Jones, 2185 Oakridge Drive, asked Council to adopt measures to
protect the Sacramento River. Mr. Jones explained that there are
conflicts between the different types of users of the river and with
the river itself. He added that a decision to determine what the
river will be like must be made. Mr. Jones conveyed that the City has
been given broad jurisdiction over the river and can enforce City
codes within the City limits.
Mayor Buffum stated that this is a timely issue and she supports the
request. She suggested that Mr. Jones work with Planning Director

unloading there for 15 years. He explained that an electric conveyor
belt is used to unload and the building will have to be remodeled to
allow unloading in the back. Mr. Gardner said he is willing to work
with whatever the problem is.
Noting that Rainbo Bread is willing to address the problem, Council
Member Moss suggested that the delivery trucks use pylons as a
temporary measure until something can be worked out. He said there is
no reason to penalize this business and issue citations.

Mr. Gardner indicated that it will take 60 days to work out a
solution.

Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Planning Commission recommendation dated May 7, 1990
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that the
Planning Commission recommended conceptual approval of the request to
reclassify property from "Residential, 9.0 units per acre" to "Retail
Commercial." The recommendation is subject to dedication of the
right-of-way for the extension of Browning Street. Mr. Perry noted
that traffic circulation is a significant issue, and the site was
included in the traffic study prepared for the Costco site under
General Plan Amendment GPA-14-88. It is the recommendation of staff
rough draft 26
that Council make the necessary findings and approve the amendment in
concept for one year subject to the dedication of right-of-way for
Browning Street. If a signed deed to dedicate the right-of-way is
received, the staff will submit a resolution to implement the General
Plan Amendment.
Council Member Arness questioned what will happen on the east side of
Browning Street. He expressed concern about where the line should be
drawn between commercial and residential uses in that area.
Council Member Moss said it is obvious that this is a commercial area.
He also expressed doubt about where the line should be drawn.
Peggy Kesterson, 1126 Old Alturas Road, conveyed that there is a
developer interested in purchasing her property. She said she has
owned the property for 40 years, and it is no longer the type of
housing where she wishes to live. Ms. Kesterson explained that
development is surrounding the property, especially when Browning
Street goes through. She said there is no one who would want to
purchase the property for residential use.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Mayor Buffum stated that Ms. Kesterson has made a good point. The
area is no longer residential and it is an appropriate request.

MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, certifying that pursuant to Sections 15090 and 15091 of the
California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines that the Traffic
Supplement to Environmental Impact Report EIR-3-79 was reviewed and
considered by Council and that changes or alterations have been
required in or incorporated into the project which avoid or
substantially lessen the significant environmental effects of the
project; and approving the amendment in concept for one year subject
to the dedication of right-of-way for Browning Street. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Arness stated that traffic encroachment is not a good
reason for upgrading property.

minimums. The prezoning request is to accommodate an annexation in
the area.
David Martinez, Portland, Oregon, stated that he is opposed to the
rezoning application. Mr. Martinez expressed concern that the minimum
five acre parcel zoning will not permit further development on his
property. He explained that he has a two acre lot, and he wants to
develop the property.
Mr. Perry conveyed that it will be a nonconforming parcel; it can be
developed, but not subdivided.
Thomas Verdesell, 3830 Rancho Road, stated that the map indicates that
the area is comprised of 5 acre parcels; however, there are two and
three acre parcels there. Mr. Verdesell indicated that he owns a two-
acre and a three-acre parcel. One lot is residential and he would
like to develop the other. Mr. Verdesell asked for assurance that he
will be able to develop his property.

Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that
Council approved the detachment of a portion of the Ridgeview
Subdivision, Units 5, 6, and 7, from the Centerville CSD and the
annexation of Parcel 2 of Westside Estates to Centerville. The
boundary swap was initiated to provide for more effective provision of
water services. The area is within the Redding city limits; however,
the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) must consider and
approve the proposal because Centerville is detaching an area and
annexing another area. It is the recommendation of staff to approve
the property tax exchange agreement.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member Dahl,
that Resolution No. 90-240 be adopted, a resolution of the City

the Planning Commission for a general plan amendment and prezoning.
Mr. Perry explained that Environmental Impact Report EIR-3-88 was

CONSTRUCTION OF BUENAVENTURA BOULEVARD
- and Exchange for City-Owned
Property
(S-070-100-065 & C-070-200)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry conveyed that
Signature-Northwest, the developer of Country Heights Estates
Subdivision, if offering to exchange the construction of Buenaventura
Boulevard from Placer Road to Canyon Creek Road in exchange for City-
owned land located south of Placer Road and east of Ridgeview
Subdivision. Mr. Perry explained that two separate but parallel
processes would be required to proceed. The first is to establish the
alignment of Buenaventura Boulevard, and the second is to develop the
cost of the road and the values of the property.
Mr. Perry conveyed that another letter was received from Pace
Engineering, representing Dempsey Construction Corporation, expressing
an interest in acquisition of the same City-owned property east of the
Ridgeview Subdivision.
Mr. Perry explained that the construction of Buenaventura Boulevard
creates a westside bypass and will allow the closure or relocation of
the fire station on Canyon Creek Road. It also may generate some
adverse reaction from lots along the west side of Starlight Boulevard
rough draft 42
and will require the upgrading of Buenaventura Boulevard and Canyon
Creek Road. It is the recommendation of staff that the company be
advised that the City is interested and to direct staff to obtain the
necessary appraisals, process the environmental review, and prepare an
agreement.
In response to Council Member Arness' question, Mr. Perry explained
that the City would set standards and approve the plan, and Signature-
Northwest would provide the engineering.
Council Member Moss asked where this project is prioritized on the
list of traffic projects. He questioned if this is project is a high
priority.
Public Works Director Galusha stated that staff is still waiting for
the Interstate 5 study and the Redding Urban Transportation Study to
make that determination. He added that the big advantage of extending
Buenaventura Boulevard is the potential for eliminating and relocating
the fire station on Canyon Creek.
Council Member Moss pointed out that the City's property is cash in
the bank and can be used for any project. He conveyed that he is
reluctant to sell property based on an appraisal because of the rising
market. He explained that an appraisal is out of date by the time the
sale occurs.
rough draft 43
Mr. Perry noted that this is a way to construct the street extension
without outlaying cash dollars from the general fund. He added that
the traffic impact fees that were recently adopted were about one-half
the level needed to improve the traffic system.
Paul Edgren, 3469 Crimsonwood, stated that there would be a
substantial savings to the City if Northwest-Signature constructed the
street. He explained that it would not be a prevailing wage job. It
would be a condition of a project, rather than a public works project.
Mr. Perry conveyed that the City would realize a 20% savings. He
added that Mr. Edgren also expressed interest in trading other
property.
Council Member Moss said he would prefer to see some type of limit
placed on the property, rather than an appraisal.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Moss,
directing staff and Signature-Northwest to meet and refine the
proposal and bring it back to Council for consideration. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
RESOLUTION
- Agreement with CH2M Hill re Diestelhorst Bridge
Replacement
(S-070-050-100 & G-100-070)
rough draft 44
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that the
firm of CH2M Hill was selected for the preparation of environmental
documents and preliminary engineering for the replacement of the
Diestelhorst Bridge. Staff was directed to work with the consultant
to narrow the scope of work. Mr. Perry noted that the proposed
Agreement before Council excludes two alternatives: the removal of
the existing bridge and construction of a new one in its place and the
widening and rehabilitation of the old bridge for two-way traffic.
The Agreement now focuses on the proposal to save the old bridge for
pedestrian use and build a parallel structure on the east or west side
within 100 feet. Three bridge designs will be studied.
Mr. Perry conveyed that funds from the Federal Bridge Replacement
Funding Program for the environmental and preliminary engineering will
be approximately $198,000, and the City's matching funds will be
approximately $50,000, for a total of $248,000. Mr. Perry suggested
that 15% of the project agreement cost, or $37,200, be earmarked as a
contingency to cover services beyond the scope of work; thus, $273,000
would be appropriated for this project.
Mr. Perry noted that the Planning Commission asked for a complete
study on the rehabilitation of the existing bridge. Associate Civil
Engineer Mathis and Caltrans staff looked at the old Diestelhorst
Bridge and determined that the bridge would suffer further damage if
the bridge deck was replaced with a wider paved section. He added
that the Federal Bridge Replacement Program will not grant matching
rough draft 45
funds if the existing bridge is used because the bridge qualifies to
be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Mayor Buffum noted that this determination is contrary to what the
engineers at CH2M Hill had indicated. The engineers stated that the
arches were very strong. Public Works Director Galusha explained that
the concrete is losing strength and there is a direct correlation
between the volume of traffic and the amount of decay. He added that
staff is looking at a 50-year project.
Mr. Perry pointed out that the volume of traffic will increase with
the extension of north Court Street.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Arness, that Resolution No. 90-245 be adopted, a resolution of the
City Council of the City of Redding approving the "Agreement to
furnish engineering and environmental services to the City of Redding
for Diestelhorst Bridge and approaches on Benton Drive" in the amount
of $248,000; authorizing the City Manager to sign, and appropriating
$273,000 for the project which includes a 15% contingency.

- Agreement with John Reginato for Tourism Promotion
(A-050-500)
Assistant City Manager McMurry recalled that John Reginato recently
retired after 41 years as General Manager of the Shasta-Cascade
Wonderland Association. Mr. McMurry noted that Mr. Reginato has an
encyclopedic knowledge of the tourist attractions in the area and is
well known and respected by others throughout the region, state, and
nation. Mr. Reginato has proposed his services to the City in the
area of tourist promotion.
Mr. McMurry indicated that Mr. Reginato would work with Community
Services Director Gorman and staff in representing Redding and the
region at tourism conferences, at outdoor and travel trade shows, and
in the conduct of familiarization tours for outdoor and travel
writers. He will also assist in the implementation of cooperative
promotion of the region. Mr. McMurry explained that Mr. Reginato's
fee is $50.00 per hour and is expected to work for the City
approximately ten hours per month. Funding will be available in the
Tourism and Convention Department budget.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member Dahl,
that Resolution No. 90-246 be adopted, a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Redding approving the Consultant Agreement for

CONSOLIDATED DISPATCH
(C-175-825-100)
Police Chief Blankenship stated that three difference methods of
calculating the City's costs to enter Consolidated Dispatch have been
used. He reported that the initial estimate of approximately $200,000
per year was a median estimate. Further research indicates that the
City's additional cost may be as low as $134,000 or as high as
$292,000 per year, depending on the methodology used and level of
service provided. These additional costs do not consider the cost of
a facility to house consolidated dispatch.
Chief Blankenship stated that the Consolidated Dispatch Center
background report proposes that the City pay approximately 49% of the
operation costs and 45% of the capital costs. He reported that staff
met with Shelton Enoch, Sheriff Eoff, Chief Raner, Michael Johnson,
and Jim Musgrove to discuss consolidated dispatch; and as a result of
that meeting, recommended that operation costs be reduced; contingency
rough draft 48
money be removed from proposal to reflect the actual projected cost;
factor the cost of 26 dispatch personnel, rather than 30; use 1989
costs base for calculating costs, and reduce the City of Redding's
share of cost for consolidated dispatch from 49% to 47%.
Council Member Dahl noted that the cities and county have gained
consensus on a number of issues regarding consolidation of dispatch,
and now it is necessary to refine the numbers even further.
Shelton Enochs conveyed that it may not be possible to refine the
costs any more. Mr. Enochs suggested that if Council would like to
move forward, that the two representatives from Council be named to
sit on the five-member board to work on refining the document that
would create the Joint Powers Authority and the location of a
consolidated dispatch. He indicated that the County has appointed
Supervisors Wilson and Bosworth to sit on the committee.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Arness, to continue to research the feasibility of consolidated
dispatch and authorize the Mayor to appoint two Council Members to sit
on the Consolidated Dispatch committee by the next Council meeting.

Airports Director Ruff reported that the Airports Commission and staff
recommend that the Crash-Fire-Rescue vehicle at the Municipal Airport
be refurbished. Mr. Ruff indicated that the refurbishment project is
one in which the Federal Aviation Administration participates, and the
FAA has given verbal indication that the project will be approved for
Entitlement Funds.
Mr. Ruff indicated that staff has found there is only one available
source that can meet the standards established by the City to meet the
Federal crash-fire-rescue requirements, and only one source
recommended by the original manufacturer to refurbish the vehicle. It
is therefore recommended that a Crash Rescue Equipment Service, Inc.
be authorized to refurbish the vehicle for approximately $160,000.
