REQUEST FOR CITY SUPPORT OF AB4083
(L-040-300 & L-050)
City Manager Christofferson stated that Assemblyman Statham is
carrying a bill in the legislature at the request of Shasta County to
establish a regional library agency. The bill is currently before the
Senate and Senator Nielsen wishes to be certain that there is broad-
based local support for this bill. The County of Shasta will be
considering a resolution of support for AB4083 at their next meeting,
and Shasta County has also asked for a similar expression of support
for AB4083 from the City.
Mr. Christofferson conveyed that staff was informed this afternoon
that Senator Nielsen added some amendments to the bill. A sunset
provision was added wherein if the regional library agency is not
established by 1995, the bill will automatically become void. The
second amendment is regarding the composition of the agency and gives
the legislative body the authority to remove a commissioner, as well
as appoint the back-up commissioners.
Mr. Christofferson recommended that Council support the bill in
concept and letters of support be sent to Senator Nielsen.
Council Member Fulton expressed concern that this Board would have
rather unlimited taxing authority and not be accountable to the
public. He asked that this be ironed out before Council's approval.
Mr. Christofferson explained that the idea of a regional library
agency is a new idea. He explained that the membership of the
commission will be appointed by bodies that are accountable to the
public, and the commission will be accountable to the Board of
Supervisors and City Council. The ability to remove a commissioner
will give the governing agencies the necessary control.
280
6/19/90
Mr. Christofferson relayed that the original draft contained language
giving the commission the same taxing authority as the County, and the
Senate committee asked that the language be spelled out. Thus, the
language is now more detailed. The County does not have power to
enact certain types of taxing or financing, and the commission cannot
do anything that the County or City cannot already do now. He added
that a funding mechanism is not in the bill.
John Reit, Shasta County Board of Supervisors, stated that the Senator
insisted on language in the bill stating that all taxes must be
approved by a vote of the people. He emphasized that the commission
will not have any taxing authority without the approval of the people,
and he explained the reason the Board asked for a regional library
agency is because if the public votes for a funding mechanism they
will know that the money will go to the library, not to the City's or
County's general fund.
Supervisor Reit conveyed that there are three amendments to the bill;
the ability of the governing agencies to remove a commissioner, a
sunset clause, and plain language stating that any fund raising
efforts require a vote of the people.
Mayor Buffum stated that these amendments are not included in
Council's information packets. Supervisor Reit explained that these
amendments have only been developed within the last 24 hours; thus,
the latest draft of the bill is not available.
Dave Frank, County Counsel, stated that Supervisor Reit has adequately
addressed the issues.
Council Member Dahl asked Mr. Frank where the Senate now stands on
this bill. Mr. Frank explained that the bill is in its third reading
and any Senator can pull it off the calendar and ask for a vote.
Council Member Dahl noted that Council does not know what it is
approving. Mr. Christofferson explained that is why he suggested the
bill be approved in concept.
Mayor Buffum said her research indicates that the taxing authority is
at the discretion of the board. City Attorney Hays conveyed that this
bill contains language stating that any tax this body enacts requires
a vote of the public, regardless. He noted that based on Supervisor
Reit's statement, this was a concern, so the appropriate language was
added to the bill.
Mayor Buffum stated that Council needs to see the updated bill.
Council Member Moss indicated that Council needs to show support. He
indicated that the Board will do the right thing for the agency.
Mayor Buffum thanked the Board of Supervisors for attending tonight's
meeting. She conveyed that she spoke with Assemblyman Statham and
Senator Nielsen today. She said everyone is working on the bill and
Council does not know what final form the bill will take. She
explained that she would like to see the bill in final form before
indicating her support.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Arness, to support AB4083, re a regional library agency, in concept,
until refinement of the bill is made.

Ayes: Council Members - Arness, Fulton, and Moss,

Adoption of Amended Plan which is incorporated herein by reference.
Planning Director Perry submitted the Certification of Certain
Official Actions that have been taken by the City Council, City
Planning Commission, and the Agency in connection with the proposed
Amended Plan.
Mr. Perry introduced Jim Burns who reviewed the Report to the City
Council dated June 19, 1990, which is incorporated herein by
reference. Mr. Burns talked about the projects list for the Amended
Plan and explained how tax increment financing will fund the projects.
Gary Deghi, Senior Vice President of Earth Metrics, Inc., summarized
the Final Environmental Impact Report on the Amended Plan which is
incorporated herein by reference. Mr. Deghi explained that the EIR
considered areas of land use and planning, traffic, public services,
air and noise impacts, visual concerns, drainage and water quality,
geology and hydrology, and cultural resources. He added that the
responses to written comments during the 45-day comment period and
public testimony before the Planning Commission public hearing on
March 13, 1990, have been included in the Final EIR addendum.
Special Counsel Beatty reviewed the Amended Plan which is incorporated
herein by reference. Mr. Beatty explained that the Amended Plan adds
2500 acres to the project area; it increases the total amount of tax
increment allocable to the agency to $432 million; it increases the
total amount of bond indebtedness that can be outstanding at any one
time to $100 million; extends the time limit under which the Agency
may incur debt to 25 years; extends the time limit under which the
Agency may commence eminent domain projects to 12 years; and extends
the duration of the Plan to 40 years. Furthermore, it adds the list
of public improvement projects which are Attachment 4 to the Amended
Plan.
Vice Mayor Dahl stated that all written comments received on the
Amended Plan or the Final EIR are incorporated herein by reference. A
letter and petition from Carolyn Baker received June 19, 1990, is also
incorporated by reference herein.
Vice Mayor Dahl stated that all statements or testimony from those
present in favor and opposed to the Amended Plan or the Final
Environmental Impact Report will be heard.
The complete statements have been transcribed by Kathleen M. Challe,
C.S.R. and the transcript of the Joint Public Hearing is incorporated
herein by reference.
Bill Hazeleur, Manager of the Shasta Mosquito Abatement District,
stated that he has been sworn in. Mr. Hazeleur conveyed that the
District approves the project in concept.
Mr. Beatty explained that the District has been working with the
Agency, and he assured Council that by the meeting of July 3, 1990, an
agreement that both entities can approve will be forthcoming.
Phyllis Fisher, 295 Hawley Road, conveyed that she was sworn in. Ms.
Fisher explained that she owns land in the South Bonnyview area and is
concerned about the development in Redding. Ms. Fisher explained that
283
6/19/90
overall development in Redding has not proven itself to be attractive.
She expressed concern that the Plan will pave the way for massive
development, especially for commercial development along South
Bonnyview of which she is opposed.
Thomas Blue, 4490 East Bonnyview, stated that he was sworn in. Mr.
Blue asked what the Amended Plan will do to the area in which he
lives. He noted that the area is now rural and he would like to
maintain that type of atmosphere.
Mr. Perry explained that drainage improvements will be made to the
north end of East Bonnyview; however, the bulk of the activity in this
area will be to move traffic through the South Bonnyview corridor from
the bridge to Cedars Road. Mr. Perry clarified that the Redevelopment
Agency does not have land use planning authority.
Clark Hull, 1577 Benton Drive, stated that he has been sworn in. Mr.
Hull expressed concern about bond indebtedness and the ability of the
City to repay the debt. He suggested that the City Hall be located in
the Downtown Mall.
Vivian Strawn, 2800 Henderson Road, was sworn in. Ms. Strawn stated
that Council and the Agency should not have the right to condemn
property.
Mr. Perry explained that the ability to condemn property is
established by State law. He explained the procedure of condemnation.
He added that the Agency or Council is required to also pay
relocation expenses. Mr. Beatty added further information regarding
condemnation proceedings and pointed out that the principal purpose of
this Amended Plan is to fund public improvements. He said it is very
expensive for a Redevelopment Agency to acquire homes where persons
are living; and therefore, eminent domain will only be used for such
uses as road widening, circulation improvements, bridges, etc.
Jean Lysek, 2167 Court Street, stated that she has been sworn in. Mr.
Lysek noted that for project year eight, the construction of a new
library for $3 million dollars is included. She questioned the
availability of money for a new library building when funds are not
available to buy books.
Mr. Perry conveyed that the Agency will be lucky if it can fund a
third of the projects on the list, and it is unlikely that a new
library building will be funded.
Clark Edwards, Cedars Road, was sworn in. Mr. Edward stated that it
is his understanding that Cedars Road will be widened to a four-lane
road. He asked when this project will be initiated. Noting that
adequate police patrol is not available now, he questioned how
additional police officers to patrol the area will be funded. He also
noted that the old Redevelopment Plan was not successful.
Mr. Perry explained that the Police Department is funded from the
General Fund. Mr. Perry explained the justification for widening
Cedars Road to four lanes and stated that improvements to Cedars Road
will be a function of the amount of money available. He added that
the Redevelopment Agency will have to prioritize the proposed
projects. He also conveyed what type of improvements have been and
are being developed through the Canby-Hilltop-Cypress Redevelopment
Project.
Milton Kite, 2418, Wyndham Lane, was sworn in. Mr. Kite expressed
concern about flooding and pointed out that some of the development
area will be in the water line.

PUBLIC HEARING
- re General Plan Amendment Application GPA-7-90, by
Jim Maxwell (North of State Highway 44 and south of Dana Drive)
(G-030-010)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Buffum opened the public
hearing regarding GPA-7-90.
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 June 13, 1990
City Clerk Nichols stated that no protests were received.
Director of Planning and Community Development Perry stated that Jim
Maxwell submitted a General Plan Amendment on 28 acres located north
of State Highway 44 and south of Dana Drive. Mr. Perry conveyed that
Lucky Lane bisects the site and is the subject of abandonment request
A-4-90. The request is to amend the General Plan from "Residential,
12.0 units per acre" to "Retail Commercial." The zoning is "U"
Unclassified. Mr. Perry explained that the amendment area is
surrounded by property designated for "Retail Commercial" uses or
"Residential, 12.0 units per acre. State Highway 44 is to the south
and land to the west is being acquired for the purpose of constructing
on and off ramps for Highway 44.
Mr. Perry indicated that the intent of the application is to build a
large-scale retail-commercial development.
It is the opinion of staff and the Planning Commission that the
amendment is appropriate for cohesive development in the area. It is
the recommendation of staff that the Council approve GPA-7-90 with the
stipulation that the resolution implementing the General Plan
amendment be adopted only after Lucky Lane is abandoned and the
parcels merged or that an agreement be entered into with Mr. Maxwell
that the amendment does not take effect until he has acquired and
merged the parcels.
Council Member Arness asked if the fire flows will be adequate and if
this issue will be addressed in the conditions of the use permit. Mr.
Perry replied that the use permit will have conditions regarding fire
flow and placement of hydrants and access will be reviewed once a site
plan has been submitted.
Mayor Buffum determined that there were no comments from the floor.
285

PUBLIC HEARING
- re Abandonment Application A-4-90, Lucky Lane, by
Greenway Development Corporation
(A-010-100)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Buffum opened the public
hearing regarding Abandonment Application A-4-90.
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 June 13, 1990
City Clerk Nichols stated that no protests were received.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that Greenway
Development Corporation requested the abandonment of Lucky Lane
between Dana Drive and State Highway 44. The abandonment is
contingent upon the approval of a general plan amendment submitted by
J.L. Maxwell (GPA-7-90) for "Retail Commercial." The right-of-way is
a 50 to 60 foot wide by 900 foot long easement for access and public
utilities to several parcels developed with large-lot single-family
residences. Mr. Perry conveyed that title information and
applications submitted with the associated general plan amendment
request establish ownership of the various parcels or options to
purchase the parcels by Greenway Development Corporation.
Mr. Perry indicated that it is the applicant's intention to develop
the 28-acre site as a large-scale retail-commercial development. He
explained that abandonment of Lucky Lane in its entirety would enable
development to occur as one cohesive commercial project rather than a
conglomeration of numerous smaller retail-commercial parcels.
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that
Lucky Lane is not needed for street purposes provided that GPA-7-90 is
approved for retail-commercial development and the abandonment would
be contingent upon the applicant's gaining title to all affected
parcels of land abutting the Lucky Lane alignment.
Mayor Buffum determined that there were no comments from the floor.
Council Member Fulton asked what would happen if a residential
property owner is not willing to sell. Mr. Perry explained that the
plan would fall apart and the street could not be abandoned.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
286
6/19/90
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Moss,
that Council make the following findings regarding Abandonment
Application A-4-90:
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 March 21, 1990. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Moss,
to approve Abandonment A-4-90 subject to the following conditions:
the abandonment shall be contingent on approval of GPA-7-90 by the
City Council; the applicant shall gain title to all affected parcels
of land abutting the Lucky Lane right-of-way; retention of the area
needed for the widening of Dana Drive; retention of easements for the
existing sewer, water, and electrical facilities, or the sewer, water,
and electric lines shall be relocated as per the Department of Public
Works; and the abandonment of Lucky Lane shall occur only with the
merger of all parcels on the street into one parcel by the filing of a
parcel map to merge the properties; and when evidence is submitted
showing that the abutting parcels are in one ownership, staff is
directed to submit a resolution for Council's consideration and to be
recorded with the parcel map. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
PUBLIC HEARING
- re Rezoning Application RZ-6-90, by Sanford Campbell
and the City of Redding (Crestmont Drive and west side of Bechelli
Lane)
(L-010-230)

hearing regarding RZ-6-90.
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 June 13, 1990
City Clerk Nichols stated that no protests were received.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that the
Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning of property
from "R1-B1" Single Family Residential District to "R1-B10" Single
Family Residential District. Mr. Perry indicated that the primary
change in the zoning would remove a current requirement to maintain
both side-yard setbacks at ten feet. He explained that several
parcels in the area already encroach into the ten-foot side-yard
setbacks. He added that the request was precipitated by a variance
request from one property owner to encroach into the side-yard setback
with an addition to his home, and staff and the Planning Commission
felt that rezoning the property was a more appropriate way to address
the issue. The rezoning application was expanded to include a total
of 14 parcels.
Toby Barnes, 1057 High Street, Old Shasta, stated that he is
representing Mr. Campbell and offered to answer any questions.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Moss,
that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

REGIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING RANGE
(C-070-010-050)
City Manager Christofferson reported that staff has continued to look
for new sites for the location of a regional law enforcement training
range, and staff believes that a 123 acre site, owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Finazzo, located off Iron Mountain Road, merits additional
investigation. Mr. Christofferson explained that the Hunt Ranch site
is still a viable alternative; however, the modest cost of
investigating this alternative site would be justified to keep the
project moving ahead and possibly, improving upon the advantages of
the Hunt Ranch.
It is the recommendation of the City Manager to (1) authorize an
appraisal of the property and discussions with the property owner; (2)
discuss with Shasta County and City of Anderson, a cooperative
approach to the project; (3) contact the Bureau of Land Management,
Bureau of Reclamation, and other agencies regarding the feasibility of
expanding on and maximizing the site; (4) if the foregoing elements
are positive, develop a specific plan for submission to the City
Council, Board of Supervisors, and City of Anderson; and (5) when
sufficient data is available, set in motion the necessary arrangements
for a joint meeting.
Council Member Fulton asked why the County and Anderson are being
asked to get involved.
Mr. Christofferson opined that a cooperative project could be
possible, and the project has always been seen as a regional project.
Mayor Buffum noted that the City was criticized for talking a regional
project but doing everything ourselves.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Moss,
authorizing staff to proceed with the investigation of the 123 acre
parcel, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Finazzo, and located off Iron
Mountain Road, for the regional law enforcement training range. The
Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Mayor Buffum asked that the City Attorney be included in all
negotiations.
UNREPRESENTED EMPLOYEES
(P-100-320)
City Manager Christofferson stated that at this time of year, Council
considers adjustment of salary levels for those City employees not
covered by union contracts. Mr. Christofferson reported that changes
in the Consumer Price Index and contracts negotiated with unions
provide some basis for the adjustment. He conveyed that the Consumer
Price Index rose from April 1989 to April 1990 by 4.5%. It is the
recommendation of the City Manager that a routine annual adjustment in
salary rates in the amount of 4.5% for non-represented, non-management
292
6/19/90
employees and salary ranges for management employees (except for the
City Attorney and City Manager) be approved.
Noting that Council will be holding budget study sessions in the next
few days, Council Member Dahl said it would be more appropriate to
consider the salary adjustments and pay ranges at that time.
It was the consensus of Council to consider salary adjustment and pay
ranges for Unrepresented Employees during budget study sessions.
RESOLUTION
- Administrative Leave and Shift Differential for 24-Hour
Police Personnel
(P-100-050-100 & P-100-200)
City Manager Christofferson recommended that the Administrative Leave
Policy be revised effective December 23, 1990. The revised policy
would allow the City Manager and department directors to acknowledge
the extra work of specific individuals rather than a whole group of
individuals holding a specific classification and would require a case
by case review of an employee's time commitment and performance. The
new policy would allow department directors, with City Manager
approval, to grant up to 40 hours administrative leave per year to
designated exempt employees who commit a minimum of 40 hours per
calendar year beyond regular work hours. In addition, the City
Manager will have the authority to grant up to an additional 40 hours
per year to exempt employees who commit a significant number of
additional hours to a specific project or projects and to recognize
outstanding contributions to the management team and to the City.
Mr. Christofferson conveyed that Police Chief Blankenship requested
that those Unrepresented Employees working swing and graveyard be
awarded the same shift differential as other 24-hour shift employees.
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the employees be
provided a shift differential of 3 1/2% for swing and 5% for graveyard
for clerical personnel in the Police Records Division and employees in
the classification of Supervisor-Communication/Records.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member
Dahl, that Resolution No. 90-315 be adopted, a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Redding (1) rescinding Resolution No. 90-132
effective Midnight, June 23, 1990, and (2) establishing a new
personnel policy for Unrepresented Employees not covered by a
Memorandum of Understanding effective June 24, 1990.

Noes: Council Members - None
Absent: Council Members - None
Resolution No. 90-315 is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
LEGISLATIVE MATTERS
(L-040-300)
City Manager Christofferson reported that the League of California
Cities recommended that the cities contact their local representatives
regarding the state of city finances. Noting that the League is
concerned about the State balancing the budget by targeting city
revenues, Mr. Christofferson recommended that letters be directed to
Senator Nielsen and Assemblyman Statham outlining the City's position
in opposition to this action.
Mr. Christofferson also recommended that Council oppose SB998 which
relates to a mandatory pass through formula with cities and schools
upon adoption or amendment of a redevelopment plan.
293
6/19/90
Mayor Buffum asked Mr. Christofferson how the League views AB4083,
legislation regarding the regional library agency. Mr. Christofferson
explained that the League does not take a position on special bills.
Mayor Buffum asked the City Manager to check with the League on their
position. She noted that AB4083 may be precedent setting.
Council Member Arness said he suspects that there are many instances
of special legislation for unique situations. He added that if the
County finds a solution to the problem, others may want to copy our
example.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Arness, to direct that letters be sent to Senator Nielsen and
Assemblyman Statham regarding city finances, and send letters of
opposition to SB998 to the appropriate legislators and committees.
The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

Director of Finance Downing stated that $400,000 was set aside in the
General Fund Restricted Reserve for potential cost-of-living
adjustments for fiscal year 1989-90. Ms. Downing recommended that the
resolution be adopted appropriating $233,700 and transferring $298,400
for cost-of-living adjustment to the personnel costs of the
departments/divisions and their respective funds be adopted.
Director of Finance Downing clarified that $400,000 was set aside at
the beginning of fiscal year 1989-90 for cost-of-living adjustments
and only $298,400 was needed. She added that Council has the option
of appropriating the funds at the beginning of the year or waiting
until the end of the fiscal year to appropriate the funds.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Dahl, that Resolution No. 90-317 be adopted, a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Redding approving and adopting the 65th

RESOLUTION
- Amendment No. 1 to Agreement with Nystrom & Company for
Auditing Services
(F-205)
Director of Finance Downing conveyed that the financial records of the
City are audited annually by certified public accountants. An
agreement was entered into for auditing services with Nystrom &
Company in early 1987 for three years with the possibility of two one-
year extensions. Noting that the initial three-year term has now
elapsed, Ms. Downing recommended that Council approve the first one-
year extension. In addition, Ms. Downing recommended that Council
consider amending the Agreement to provide that the annual report be
drafted by Nystrom & Company. The cost for these services is $46,000.
In response to Council Member Fulton's question, Ms. Downing explained
that allowing Nystrom & Company to prepare the annual audit will allow
staff to be available for other projects as soon as the year end
closing work is completed.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member Dahl,
that Resolution No. 90-318 be adopted, a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Redding approving and authorizing the Mayor to

RIVERLAND RECREATION AREA MASTER PLAN
- EIR-2-88
* (L-010-075 & P-050-600-200)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that at the
Council Meeting of October 17, 1989, Council elected to proceed with
the proposed softball complex on Riverland Drive. Project approval
was subject to 55 conditions, and Condition No. 55 requires the City
to establish a Mitigation Monitoring Program to implement the
mitigation measures identified in EIR-2-88. A draft Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) was submitted to Council for
review, and Mr. Perry conveyed that the Planning Commission reviewed
the document and recommended approval of the MMRP.
Mr. Perry explained that the MMRP identifies the responsible agency or
personnel responsible for each condition of approval, the nature of
monitoring to be conducted, the timing for each condition, the
frequency and timing of compliance reports, and responsibility and
timing for enforcement. He added that the MMRP places the bulk of
responsibility to ensure compliance on Planning Department staff, and
staff time for this work will be charged to Park Development Funds.
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that
Council approve the MMRP, and staff will then proceed with the
construction and design work of the softball complex.
Council Member Arness asked if there are people in the private sector
who could provide this service. Mr. Perry said yes, part of the MMRP
could be, but part of the program cannot be because it falls within
the jurisdiction of other agencies.
295
6/19/90
MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member Dahl,
to approve the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the Softball Complex
on Riverland Drive. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

resurveyed right of way for dedication and the Buenaventura plan line
is still in the circulation element.
Council Member Moss asked if a plan line can be designated. Mr. Perry
replied yes, but it would require a diversion of staff time.
Council Member Moss asked if staff would be flagged to look at this if
a project came in. Mr. Perry said yes

STATE DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES
- Request for Encroachment Permits
for Gravel Enhancement
(W-030-550-700)
Senior Assistant Planner Hanson reported that the State Department of
Water Resources submitted a letter requesting permission to encroach
onto City-owned land at five different sites to do gravel enhancement
work in the Sacramento River. Mr. Hanson explained that the work
project involves depositing 70,000 cubic yards of gravel at five sites
affecting City-owned land during the first year. He reviewed the
issues and implications of the project to the City. It is the
recommendation of staff to approve the encroachment permits at all
five sites subject to the conditions stated in the Report to City
Council dated June 13, 1990, which is incorporated herein by
reference.
Noting that a bridge crossing is proposed for somewhere behind the
Convention Center area, Council Member Arness asked what will happen
when gravel is placed at the ACID site and it becomes a great spawning
area. He said the Department of Fish and Game may object to a bridge
built there.
Dave Hoopaugh, State Department of Fish and Game, said there will have
to be environmental studies for the bridge; however, any limitations
imposed would be minimal with respect to the dollar cost of the
project, and it may reduce the amount of study required. Water
Resources will be monitoring the movement of gravel and that
information may apply to the bridge studies.
Mr. Hoopaugh stated that if Condition 10, the Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) is required, the situation will be moot. He
explained that there are two other agencies involved, and he cannot
speak for them. Mr. Hoopaugh added that he does not believe that the
placement of gravel will cause the City any problems.
Mayor Buffum noted that the bridge abutments may actually enhance
trapping the gravel.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Moss, to approve the encroachment permit for the Department of Water
Resources for gravel enhancement at all five sites on the Sacramento
River subject to the list of conditions. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Doug Denton, State Department of Water Resources, explained that the
Department is trying to prepare a contract to work within a restricted
time period. He explained that they plan to begin the project in
September in order to have a positive impact on the winter run. Mr.
Denton added that action must begin within the next two weeks, and by
including Condition 10, it will preclude the Department from starting
work until winter.
Council Member Moss conveyed that he does not have a problem with any
area except where the bridge is proposed. He noted that there is no
spawning area there now. He questioned why a policy on this one site
could not be written. Council Member Moss added that Council is
asking for assurance that the project will not cause mitigation
problems.
297
6/19/90
Mr. Denton said he would be glad to have seven of the eight sites
approved. He opined that Fish and Game will probably not agree to
something that may or may not happen in the future.
Council Member Arness agreed that Condition 10 should be removed
except for the ACID site.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Moss, to amend the foregoing motion to state that the encroachment
permits to the Department of Water Resources for gravel enhancement on
the Sacramento River are approved subject to Conditions 1 through 9,
except for the site by the ACID Canal, which shall be subject to
Conditions 1 through 10. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
ENTERPRISE ZONE
(E-050)
Redevelopment Specialist Morgon conveyed that recent State legislation
authorized the designation of fifteen new Enterprise Zones in
California. Mr. Morgon explained that an Enterprise Zone is a
specific designated area in which business enterprises can take
advantage of State and local incentives and programs not available to
businesses outside the Enterprise Zone. Mr. Morgon reviewed the
program.
Mr. Morgon conveyed that City staff and staff from Shasta County, the
City of Anderson, the Shasta Dam Area Public Utility District, the
Private Industry Council, and the Superior California Development
Council have been working with the Shasta County Economic Development
Corporation to explore the feasibility of a multi-jurisdictional
effort to capture a single, joint enterprise zone designation for
Shasta County that includes portions of Shasta County, Redding, and
Anderson. Mr. Morgon explained that the Enterprise Zone is comprised
of an Eligible Area, Commercial Area, and Industrial Area. The group
task force will also develop an administrative and marketing program.
It is the recommendation of staff to continue supporting the
Enterprise Zone Task Force in order to pursue completion of the
Preliminary Application, give conceptual approval to the Enterprise
Zone Map, and approve the joint application for an Enterprise Zone
with the Shasta County Economic Development Corporation designated as
the management entity for the operation of the zone as established
through a memorandum of understanding between Shasta County and the
cities of Redding and Anderson, subject to the submission of more
details later.
Mayor Buffum asked if the County and cities work together, will the
application become stronger. Mr. Morgon replied yes.
Assistant City Manager McMurry conveyed that there have been only two
joint enterprise zones created, and those zones are ahead, principally
on the basis of their joint status. He emphasized that joint
enterprise zones are looked on very favorably.
Council Member Arness asked if the application has to have a project.
Mr. Morgon replied no, they are looking for a high level of detail,
including a marketing plan, business availability, survey information
on what kind of infrastructure is available, and if it is zoned
properly.
In response to Council Member Moss's question, Mr. Morgon explained
that incentives are available across the board to any business within
298
6/19/90
the zone area it be in an eligible area, commercial area, or
industrial area.
Council Member Moss asked if the program will compete with already
established shopping centers and if it will encourage urban sprawl.
Mr. Morgon explained that the program will implement the general plan,
and that the proposed Enterprise Zone incorporates as much of the
existing and potential commercial and industrial land as possible.
Mayor Buffum noted that the Small Business Administration and Private
Industry Council offer the same types of benefits to business as the
Enterprise Zone program would.
Mr. McMurry clarified that existing businesses are also eligible for
the incentives and credits. He said he does not think those types of
problems will occur because the agencies will still have control.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Dahl, to approve, in concept, the joint Enterprise Zone and map
exhibit as outlined in the Planning Director's Report to City Council
dated June 19, 1990, and authorize the continued involvement of City
staff in the development of the preliminary Application.

(1) annexations; (2) planning; (3) building and population; (4) park
design; (5) cable. This was an information item and no action was
required.
ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY
- 5990 Cedars Road
(C-070-010)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry conveyed that Jim
Huber has requested to construct a service commercial complex on
property located at the southwest quadrant of the intersection of
Cedars Road and Highway 273. The Planning Commission referred the
question to Council whether or not the City should acquire the
property before it acted on the use permit and variance applications
because the project area contains the right-of-way needed for two
streets. The extension of Westside Road across Olney Creek would
likely cross this property, as would a similar extension of Cedars
Road. He added that if a grade separation were constructed at the
intersection of Highway 273 and South Bonnyview, much of the project
would occupy this property. It is the recommendation of the Planning
Director that staff be directed to meet with Mr. Huber and see if the
property can be acquired. It is further recommended that staff be
authorized to obtain an appraisal on the property.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member
Dahl, directing staff to meet with Jim Huber and see if property
located at 5990 Cedars Road can be acquired and authorize staff to
obtain an appraisal on the property. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

Planning and Community Development Director Perry reported that the
Final Supplement to Environmental Impact Report EIR-2-82 which was
prepared for General Plan Amendment Application GPA-1-89 was certified
as adequate by the Planning Commission. EIR-2-82 was submitted to

City Council must make findings that it has considered the Final
Supplement to EIR-2-82. This was an information item and no action
was required.
RESOLUTION
- Lake Red Bluff Project
(E-120-070-400)
Electric Utility Director Lindley reviewed the Report to City Council
dated June 13, 1990, which is incorporated herein by reference. Mr.
Lindley recalled that on April 26, 1983, the City of Redding filed an
application for license to construct, operate, and maintain the Lake
Red Bluff Hydroelectric Project on the Sacramento River near Red
Bluff. On May 23, 1990, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC) denied, for the second time, the City's license application.
Mr. Lindley reported that the Electric Utility Commission (EUC) did
not reach a consensus on this issue and, therefore, has no
recommendation on whether Redding should appeal. However, the
Electric Department recommends that Council direct staff to develop an
assertive action plan to develop the Project and authorize the
expenditure of $10,000 to appeal FERC's decision. Mr. Lindley
indicated that the funds for this request are available through 1989
Electric System Project Financing.
Council Member Arness indicated that at the American Power Association
conference, the recommended action was to have a blend of different
types of power. He indicated that $10,000 is a small amount of money
to invest. Noting that there is tremendous growth in the City,
Council Member Arness, said Council should look under every bush for
power sources.
Council Member Dahl stated that the City must be pragmatic and
realistic. He said that approval of this project is unlikely. The
City needs different plans that are more realistic.
Council Member Moss expressed his opinion that the Red Bluff diversion
dam is a disaster for fisheries, and the City should not build a power
plant at that location and make it worse. He said it is a terrible
affront to the resources and a waste of time to continue putting money
into the project. He added that Council should back off and look for
more fruitful projects.
Mr. Lindley pointed out that hydro power is the most economical power,
and the City needs this resource as well as other resources.
Mayor Buffum asked if this project goes by the boards, if this will
alter development of other projects. Mr. Lindley indicated that there
will clearly be some impact.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, directing staff to develop an assertive action plan to develop
the Lake Red Bluff Hydroelectric Power Project, and adopting
Resolution No. 90-319, a resolution of the City Council of the City of
Redding authorizing the filing by June 23, 1990, of an appeal to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's order denying the license
application for the Lake Red Bluff Hydroelectric Project; approving
the expenditure of up to $10,000 to the firm of Jones, Day, Reavis,
and Pogue for legal services in connection with preparing and filing
300

RESOLUTION
- Downtown Mall Air Conditioning Units
* (B-130-070 & M-010-200-395)
Assistant Director of General Services Kohn reported that five air
conditioning units in the Downtown Mall are inoperative. MMPI, Inc.,
who is under contract to the City for maintenance of the units,
estimates repairs to be in the range of $20,000 to $25,000 per unit.
One of the inoperative units is estimated to cost $3,800 to repair,
and staff is repairing that unit in accordance with City purchasing
procedures. Mr. Kohn added that MMPI, Inc. would not guarantee that
additional repairs may be needed in the immediate future.
Mr. Kohn explained that replacement of the four oldest units is in the
range of $80,000 to $85,000. Mr. Kohn conveyed that the City
established a billing mechanism for the reimbursement of repairs paid
by the City for the Mall air conditioning units. The Mall
merchants/property owners are billed annually for actual costs
expended for contract and out-of-contract maintenance work for these
units plus an assessment for the replacement of the air conditioning
units.
It is the recommendation of the Director of General Services to
authorize the City Manager to enter into negotiations and select the
lowest responsive proposal to replace the four older units. The
Downtown Mall budget has approximately $15,000 to be used as an
initial amount to fund replacement and an appropriation of $70,000 is
required. Mr. Kohn recommended that the bid process be bypassed based
on the anticipated long delivery schedules of the units, and the
anticipated warm weather and the burden that places on functioning air
conditioning units.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Moss, that Resolution No. 90-320 be adopted, a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Redding approving and adopting the 64th
Amendment to the City Budget Resolution No. 89-286 appropriating
$70,000 for the replacement of four (4) air conditioners at the
Midtown Mall. Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Arness, Dahl, Fulton, Moss, and Buffum
Noes: Council Members - None
Absent: Council Members - None
Resolution No. 90-320 is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Moss, to authorize the City Manager to enter into negotiations to
select the lowest responsive proposal to replace four air conditioning
units at the Downtown Mall. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
SALE OF WOOD CHIPS
- Redding Transfer Station
(S-020-650)
Assistant Director of General Services Kohn stated that the City's
compost/brush diversion facility produces more wood chips than can be
used by City Departments, and Council authorized General Services to
request proposals for the purchase of excess wood chips. Mr. Kohn

conveyed that in response to the request for proposals distributed by
staff, only one bidder submitted a proposal, but it did not meet the
June 5 deadline. It is the recommendation of staff that the City
Manager be authorized to negotiate on the open market for proposals to
buy the City's excess wood chips.
Council Member Arness suggested that the proposal go back to bid.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member
Dahl, directing staff to rebid the sale of excess wood chips. The
Vote: Unanimous Ayes
TRANSFER AND SALE OF WATER
(W-030)
Director of Public Works Galusha stated that the year 1990 has been
declared a critical water year by the United States Bureau of
Reclamation. The City has two Bureau water contracts, the main
Redding Water Rights contract and the Buckeye Water contract. Water
deliveries have been reduced to contract holders based on their
particular contract language. Because of the May rains, the main
Redding Water Rights contract has been restored to full delivery, but
the Buckeye contract is still cut back 25%.
Mr. Galusha conveyed that the Bureau's water deliveries to other local
water districts have been reduced, and the Bella Vista Water District
(BVWD) has been cut back 50%. A portion of the northeastern corner of
the City is within the Bella Vista Water District service area, and
Redding citizens are being impacted by the drought conditions and
contract cutbacks. He relayed that BVWD has requested water from the
City if it is available.
Mr. Galusha conveyed that the Clear Creek Community Services District
(CCSD) has also requested a transfer of water to meet the water needs
of the West Central Landfill operated by the City. The annual
allotment for the landfill has been depleted by the construction of
the second phase of the landfill and water is not available for the
daily operation of the landfill.
Mr. Galusha stated that with the main river contract restored to full
delivery and increased operation of the wells in the Enterprise area,
water is available to transfer and sell to other districts. It is the
recommendation of the Public Works Director that Council give
conceptual approval of the transfer and sale of available water to the
BVWD and CCSD and authorize staff to negotiate the quantity of water
and price, subject to Council approval.
MOTION: Made by Council Dahl, seconded by Council Member Fulton, to
approve in concept the transfer and sale of available water to the
Bella Vista Water District and Clear Creek Community Services District
and authorize staff to negotiate the quantity of water and price, and
bring back to Council for final approval. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

will be constructed in two phases. The first phase through Lake
Redding and Caldwell Parks will be constructed of concrete and cost
approximately $90,000. This first phase will be bid in July. The
second phase through Benton Ranch will be constructed with asphalt

the trail.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Arness, that Bid Schedule No. 2343 (Job No. 9929), design,
construction, and delivery of a steel truss bridge for the Sulphur
Creek crossing of the Sacramento River Trail, be awarded to the sole
