Copies of the proposed ordinance are included in the Report to City Council dated May 20, 1992, incorporated herein by reference. Linda Scheben, Representative of Shasta County Tobacco Education Coalition, explained that the Coalition is comprised of individuals of the health and business communities and the community at large and provides tobacco education activities in the community, including prevention, cessation and policy activities. It was felt that the current ordinance needed to be strengthened, as it did not provide adequate public health protection for the public and workers in business establishments. The proposed ordinance is basically a complete ban of smoking in all enclosed public and work places. She noted that the California Restaurant Association has indicated that it supports the ordinance if it is done on a state-wide basis. A state-wide ban is basically impossible due to the tobacco industry's finances and influence. She stated that no data from cities with 100 percent smoke free ordinances support the argument that the ordinance causes a decrease in restaurant business. In addition, the ordinance is considered to be self-enforcing as people respond to the appropriate signage. Stephen Plank., M.D., Shasta County Public Health Officer, Michael Cleary, M.D., and Allen Kronan, M.D. provided statistical data concerning environmental impacts of tobacco smoking. Mayor Moss requested Council to endorse this ordinance, as businesses receive pressure from customers regarding designated smoking areas and can use the added support of the law banning smoking in all businesses. Council Member Anderson expressed concern about taking a position on an issue such as the smoking ordinance without conducting some type of public meeting to obtain public comment. Council Member Dahl concurred with Council Member Anderson that before Council takes a position on such a controversial issue, a public meeting should be conducted. Council Member Arness stated he understands the position of Council Members Anderson and Dahl; however, he favors supporting the ordinance on a county- wide basis. Council Member Kehoe stated that he supports Council conducting a public meeting to receive comment on the proposed ordinance. Ms. Schebens related that the Board of Supervisors has scheduled a meeting for June 16, 1992 to receive comment on the ordinance and indicated that it might be appropriate for the City to have a meeting prior to June 16, 1992. City Manager Christofferson suggested that a Council Member witness Shasta County Board of Supervisors' meeting on June 16, 1992 and report back to Council at its meeting the evening of June 16, 1992. MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member Arness, to conduct a public meeting to receive public comment regarding Shasta County's Proposed Smoking Ordinance at 5:15 p.m., June 15, 1992, at the City Council Chambers. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes VETERANS DAY PARADE - Request by Shasta County Veterans Affiliated Council (P-010) William Harley, Veterans Day Parade Chairman, requested that the City co- sponsor the Veterans Day Parade to be held on November 7, 1992. He reminded Council of the number of individuals this event brings into the City and the revenue generated accordingly. Last year, it was estimated that there was approximately 1,000 spectators along the parade route. 8 06/02/92 MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member Dahl, for the City to co-sponsor the Veterans Day Parade on November 7, 1992, direct staff to prepare resolution prohibiting parking and vehicular traffic and provide funding for the parade's necessary traffic management. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes LETTER FROM DAVID BISH - re Friends of Shasta County Libraries (L-050) David Bish, Friends of Shasta County Libraries, conveyed appreciation to the City for the generous support it has historically provided the library system. He explained that the library is the central part of any community and is used by individuals of all ages and income levels. He related the fact that schools have recently announced the layoff of library personnel and a library closure which will place even greater demand upon the library system. During these difficult economic times, many families cannot afford to buy new books or loose the available services. Approximately 18,000 library cards are issued per year, which does not take into account the children utilizing their parent's cards. Since the library reopened in 1989, over 1,600 volunteers have contributed over 25,000 hours of work in the library free of charge, representing an equivalent of four fulltime employees. In addition, the Friends of Shasta County have raised $165,000.00 over the last three years to purchase books, equipment, supplies, computers, typewriters, and an inter- library loan computer and software. He requested Council provide support in the following ways: (1) Continue to provide financial support at the same level it has for the last three years, specifically $150,000.00. He indicated that if the City provides funding at the $150,000.00 level and the County reduces its contribution by 25 percent, library hours will still be reduced from 32 hours to 21 hours and staff reduced by 56 percent; and 2) Request the Board of Supervisors to reduce its proposed library cuts. Mayor Moss advised the audience that the issue of providing funding to the library will be considered as part of the budget process. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - 1992 Community Development Block Grant Program (G-100-030-037) The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Moss opened the continued public hearing regarding the 1992 Community Development Block Grant Program. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Posting - Continued Public Hearing Housing Manager Maurer related that Council at its meeting of May 19, 1992, referred the Community Development Advisory Committee's recommendation for the 1992-94 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program back to the Advisory Committee with the request to modify the Public Service Activities category to include funding for the Shasta County Women's Refuge in the amount of $20,000.00. Ms. Maurer explained that the Community Development Advisory Committee maintained the original funding level of $69,500.00 within the Public Service Activities, while only making funding reductions to the Redding Housing Development Corporation and the Salvation Army Homeless Shelter and providing the requested funding to the Women's Refuge. It is the recommendation of the Community Development Advisory Committee and staff that Council approve the amended Proposed Statement of Community Development Objectives and Projected Use of Funds as the Final Statement of Community Development Objectives and Projected Use of Funds for 1992-93 and 1993-94, and the Community Development Plan. It is also recommended that a resolution be adopted authorizing the City Manager to file the 1992 CDBG Final Statement with the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Mayor Moss determined that there was no one present who wished to speak on the issue and closed the public hearing. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Dahl, that the Proposed Statement of Community Development Objectives and Projected Use of Funds as the Final Statement of Community Development Objectives and Projected Use of Funds for 1992-93 and 1993-94, and the Community Development Plan be approved and Resolution No. 92-245 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding authorizing the City Manager to file a 9 06/02/92 Final Statement of Community Development Objectives and Projected Use of Funds for $507,000.00 with the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

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 Department Recommendation Dated June 2, 1992 City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no protests were received. Planning and Community Development Director Perry indicated at its meeting of April 23, 1992, the Shasta Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) approved Annexation 90-15, Tierra Oaks, and designated the City Council as the agency for the conducting authority proceedings. Mr. Perry stated that the annexation comprises 760.34 acres and includes the 514-acre Tierra Oaks Planned Development and Golf Course. The primary reason for this annexation is to receive City services to accommodate the Tierra Oaks development. The planned development will consist of 191 single family homes. At its meeting of March 11, 1992, the Board of Administrative Review authorized the preparation of a mitigated Negative Declaration for this annexation. Subsequent to that action, staff received a letter from the Bella Vista Water District that makes three informational comments. The first and third comments require no response since they address an existing agreement between Bella Vista Water District and the developers, and apply to the development of the property not the annexation, specifically. The second comment is a request that the "Sources of Documentation" in the Initial Study Checklist cite the Bella Vista Water District Master Plan as a reference. Staff has complied with the request. Mr. Perry stated that this is an inhabited annexation request consisting of 12 or more registered voters. In addition, he explained the responsibility the City Council has as the conducting authority. It is the recommendation of staff that Council ratify the Negative Declaration and adopt a resolution ordering the boundary change. Vice Mayor Arness ascertained there was no one present who wished to speak on this matter and closed the public hearing. MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Dahl, that Council make the following findings regarding Annexation Application 90- 15: 1. 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.

The primary concern dealt with appropriate conditions for the growing number of temporary and seasonal outdoor retail uses which are not contained within the walls of a building. As written, the proposed regulations would apply to: (1) Permanent kiosk buildings and uses within them; (2) Temporary buildings and uses; (3) Temporary or seasonal outdoor sales; (4) Minor, temporary, promotional outdoor sales and fund- raising sales; (5) Temporary, on-site, outdoor display of retail products; (6) Yard or garage sales; and (7) Vehicle sales in residential districts. Mr. Perry explained that the basic assumption of the ordinance is that the uses listed should be permitted outright if they meet certain standards. If the uses do not meet the standards, then they are either prohibited or a use permit must be obtained. The ordinance implies that the City does not want to regulate these uses, except to establish minimum standards for them to occur without permits. It is the recommendation of staff that subsequent to the public hearing, that the Negative Declaration be ratified and the City Attorney instructed to prepare an ordinance for consideration at a subsequent meeting. In response to Council Member Dahl, Mr. Perry related that, at the present time, he is unable to provide a quantifible cost of enforcing the proposed ordinance. Lloyd Lakey, 3636 Eagle Park Way, asked whether this ordinance would apply to roadside businesses, such as fruit stands which are located along Bonnyview Road. Mr. Perry replied that the proposed ordinance would apply and commented that the area in question is a product of current code enforcement activities. He clarified, however, that this ordinance only pertains to private property and does not apply to public property. Mayor Moss determined there were no additional individuals desiring to address Council and closed the public hearing. Council Member Arness recommended that yard sales and private vehicle sales be eliminated from the ordinance. He stated that the ordinance appears to be generating more work and the public is already concerned about the additional regulations the City is placing upon individuals. Council Member Anderson concurred with Council Member Arness. Council Member Dahl stated he would prefer to drop the issue at the present time, as laws and ordinances impact manpower and the City is in a downsizing mode. Council Member Kehoe stated that although he concurs with staff that the ordinance would provide the tools to do a better job, he is concerned about 11 06/02/92 the additional restrictions being placed on private property. He suggested that staff be directed to modify the proposed standards to be less restrictive, while still satisfying the needs of staff. Mr. Perry suggested that Council refer the matter back to the Planning Commission for possible consideration next year in an abbreviated form. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Anderson, to not create or adopt an ordinance regarding kiosks and outdoor temporary retail uses. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - re Abandonment Application A-1-92, by Cameo Homes (South of Dana Drive, north of State Highway 44, east of Churn Creek Road overcrossing, adjacent to 1045 Dana Drive) (A-010-100) The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Moss opened the public hearing regarding Abandonment Application A-1-92. 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 Department Recommendation Dated May 27, 1992 City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no protests were received. Planning and Community Development Director Perry related that the Planning Commission at its April 28, 1992, meeting, recommended approval of a request by Cameo Homes to abandon a 30-foot by 142-foot section of the old Dana Drive right-of-way adjacent to 1045 Dana Drive. In addition, it recommended that a 30-foot-wide public-service easement for existing utilities be retained and that, in exchange for the abandonment, the adjoining property owner construct curb, gutter, landscaping, and sidewalk along the property frontage of 1045 Dana Drive. Mr. Perry explained that at the present time, the area of abandonment is occupied by the unimproved shoulder of Dana Drive and vacant land. The property will be developed as a Red Robin Restaurant in the near future and Use Permit UP-36-91 has been approved. It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that Council approve the abandonment in concept, ratify the Negative Declaration, and that, upon compliance with the conditions of approval for Use Permit UP-36-91, a resolution of abandonment be brought back before Council for consideration. Mayor Moss determined there was no one present who wished to speak on this matter and closed the public hearing. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Arness, that Council make the following findings regarding Abandonment Application A-1-92: 1. 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 Redding Planning Commission on April 28, 1992. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Arness, that Abandonment Application A-1-92 be approved in concept, and that, upon compliance with the conditions of approval for Use Permit UP-36-91, a resolution of abandonment be brought back before Council for consideration.

PROPOSED SISTER CITY - re Staritsa Russia (A-050-060) City Manager Christofferson provided Council with the following information and material secured through the League of California Cities regarding sister cities, as indicated in the Report to City Council dated May 22, 1992, incorporated herein by reference: (1) Why have a Sister City?; (2) Criteria for selection of a Sister City; (3) Extracts from directory provided by 13 06/02/92 Sister Cities International, showing Sister Cities in California and U.S.S.R.; (4) Sample Resolution for implementing a program; (5) Sample letter of affiliation; (6) The Sister City concept; (7) The U.S. Sister Cities Organization; and (8) Building Your Local Program. Gary Anthis concurred with the concept of establishing a private committee and agreed to assist in its formation. He indicated that if the City were to adopt Staritsa as a Sister City, he would bear the burden of any time and expense involved. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, directing the Mayor to send a letter to the Mayor of Staritsa indicating the City's support of the concept of adopting Staritsa as a Sister City. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes LEGISLATIVE MATTERS (L-040-300) In a Report to City Council dated May 26, 1992, incorporated herein by reference, City Manager Christofferson recommended possible positions Council may wish to take on the following issues: (1) Communicate City's concern relative to the impacts Legislature action concerning State budget solutions may have on cities; and (2) Oppose SB1601 requiring publicly-owned energy utilities to establish assistance programs for low-income rate payers, comparable to the low-income assistance programs that investor-owned utilities presently are required to provide. He noted that it is not known whether or not Senator Thompson will be serving on the committee. MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member Dahl, authorizing the Mayor to send letters to the appropriate officials expressing concern the impacts Legislature action regarding State budget solutions may have on cities and opposition to SB1601. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes 1992-93 PROPOSED BUDGET (B-130-070) City Manager Christofferson presented Council with the 1992-93 Proposed Budget. He indicated that the budget is balanced, provides a three percent reserve in the General Fund, is fiscally conservative, and incorporates the format changes requested by the ad-hoc budget committee. He related that these accomplishments were possible due to the outstanding cooperation received from everyone involved in the budget process. He thanked staff for their hard work and diligence over the past several months. He provided the following overviews regarding the 1992-93 proposed budget: (1) Budget Characteristics; (2) Key Concepts; (3) Shrinking budget despite continued growth; (4) Major goals and strategies for upcoming year; (5) Summary of budget effect; (6) Assumptions made for 1992-93 budget; (7) The Resource picture; (8) Where Monies for the General Fund are generated; (9) Where General Fund monies are spent; (10) Personnel Augmentation - Department/Position/Justification; (11) City Employee to Resident Ratio; (12) Capital Improvement Program; (13) Reductions necessary to balance budget; (14) Charts depicting calls for Police and Fire Service and Recreation Program Participation; (15) Charts depicting total utility accounts, total planning applications; and miles of streets maintained; (16) Chart depicting General Fund spending per resident; (17) Chart depicting per capita personnel costs; (18) Disadvantages to Layoffs; (19) Chart depicting number of General Fund personnel by department/division; (20) Urgent unfinanced needs; (21) Highly desirable unfinanced needs; (22) Desirable unfinanced needs; (23) Meeting unfinanced needs; (24) In-lieu franchise fee; and (25) Gann limit. It was the consensus of Council to conduct budget study sessions at 5:15 p.m. June 8, 1992 and June 9, 1992, in the City Council Chambers. RESOLUTION - re Enterprise Zone Memorandum of Understanding (E-050-300) Assistant City Manager McMurry explained that State law permits the Shasta Metro Enterprise Zone to be increased by no more than 15 percent in regard to acreage during the life of the zone. For the Shasta Metro Enterprise Zone, that 15 percent equates to 4,800 acres or 7.5 square miles. The Enterprise Zone Policy Board has determined that requests for additions to the zone should be processed through the Enterprise Zone Policy Board and, upon an 14 06/02/92 affirmation recommendation of that Board, would be submitted to each of the legislative bodies of the general purpose local government which are signatory to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). In this fashion, all three of the local government units, the City of Redding, the City of Anderson, and the County of Shasta, would be required to approve an expansion. Therefore, the MOU needs to be amended accordingly. Assistant City Manager McMurry recalled that the original MOU indicated cost sharing arrangements which were based on preliminary surveys of the territory included in the zone and the apportionment of cost was made on the basis of the proportion of each agency's industrial and commercial acreage which is included in the zone. At the time of the adoption of the MOU, the preliminary surveys indicated that 60.7 percent of the industrial and commercial acreage within the zone was in the City of Redding, 6.8 percent in the City of Anderson, and 32.5 percent in the unincorporated area of Shasta County. Subsequently, a more precise survey was accomplished during and following the zone approval process by the State, and a final designation of territory in each of the jurisdictions was identified. This now results in 46.3 percent of the zone's industrial and commercial acreage in the City of Redding, 46.5 percent in the unincorporated territory of Shasta County, and 7.2 percent in the City of Anderson. The cost sharing arrangements should, therefore, be revised accordingly. It is the recommendation of staff that Council adopt a resolution authorizing the necessary amendments to the MOU. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Arness, that Resolution No. 92-247 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute the Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding between the County of Shasta, the City of Redding, the City of Anderson, and the Economic Development Corporation of Shasta County, specifically the addition of territory to the Enterprise Zone and the cost sharing arrangements. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Anderson, Arness, Dahl, Kehoe and Moss Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 92-247 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. RESOLUTION - Amending Schedule of Fees and Service Charges Establishing Fees for Medical Dispatch (F-205-600 & P-150-150) Finance Director Downing recalled that Council Member Anderson and staff met with the ambulance providers on May 14, 1992, to discuss the implementation of a medical dispatch fee. Staff requested that the ambulance providers provide documentation for review and further discussion. She related that a letter dated May 28, 1992, was received from the Shasta County Ambulance Association stating that it would be contacting the Chief of Police to arrange a meeting time. To date, no meeting has been scheduled and no additional information has been received. It is the recommendation of staff that both a Full Service Fee and a Drop Line Service Fee be established and phased in over a three-year period. It should be noted that based on the outcome of negotiations between the City and ambulance providers, only one service level would be provided and one fee assessed. In response to Council Member Anderson, Ms. Downing related that in prior years the City was eligible to receive reimbursement for the cost of transferring calls under the 911 system. However, since implementation of the 911E system, the City is no longer eligible for such revenue. Council Member Anderson stated his disappointment that the ambulance providers have not made more of an effort to try and resolve this issue. City Manager Christofferson noted that staff was also of the opinion that as long as the ambulance providers were making a good faith effort, the City should take every opportunity to reach a consensus. He indicated that part of the problem is the transition period Redding Medical Center is undergoing with 15 06/02/92 regard to their Chief Executive Officer leaving, as well as obtaining adequate representation from the other ambulance providers. Council Member Anderson questioned the City's legal implications if Council decided to proceed, such as charge backs for dry runs, etc. City Attorney Hays replied that every call the ambulance providers currently receive is not necessarily a pay call, and they have the ability to absorb these costs as part of their fee for doing business. He explained that ambulance services relative to county structure is totally different than it is for the City. He advised that the City is in a position to move forward if the Council so desires. Council Member Arness related that if the City determines the fee is too high or too low, it can be corrected by resolution. He recommended proceeding with the adoption of the proposed schedule; however, he favored implementing the full recovery program versus the three-year phase-in schedule. Council Member Anderson favored the three-year phase-in schedule, as it is unknown whether the cost figures are accurate. MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Arness, that Resolution No. 92-248 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding amending its Schedule of Fees and Service Charges to include the establishment of Medical Dispatch Fees, effective July 1, 1992, as follows: (1) Full Service Dispatch Fee to be phased in over a three-year period at $10.00, $12.50, and $15.00 per call respectively; and (2) "Drop Line" Service to be phased in over a three-year period at $5.50, $6.00, and $6.50 per call respectively. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Anderson, Arness, Dahl, Kehoe and Moss Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 92-248 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. 16 06/02/92 REQUEST BY JESSE HOLLAND - re Purchase City Land on Sonoma Street (C-070-200) Planning and Community Development Director Perry explained that the City previously received a letter from John Margrave offering to purchase City land on Sonoma street for office purposes. Mr. Margrave's offer was subsequently withdrawn; however, a General Plan amendment had been initiated in response to the letter. A letter has since been received from Jesse Holland proposing to purchase the subject property. Mr. Perry indicated that Council at its meeting of May 5, 1992, approved a General Plan amendment to classify the property as "Office," "Residential, 3.0 units per acre," and "Greenway." The result of this action is to create the following: (1) Office - 2.4 acres; and (2) Residential - 2.4 acres at 3 units per acre. In December, 1990, the property was appraised as all residential with a value of $150,000.00. With the revised plan, this value would increase. Mr. Perry stated that to market the property would require obtaining an appraisal. To split the property should require preparing and recording a parcel map. The cost of these, plus staff time, could be charged to the property assets account; thereby, requiring a supplemental appropriation. The property has been previously declared surplus, allowing it to be sold, traded for equal value, or held for some future exchange. Staff estimates the current value of the property, if subdivided into four parcels, to be between $650,000.00 and $700,000.00. It is the opinion of staff that the property should be bid after subdivision. If Council concurs, it will be necessary to budget for the costs of a parcel map, lot split, advertising, signage, appraisal, and staff time or charge the Property Asset Fund for these expenses. In response to Mayor Moss, Mr. Perry indicated that the Planning Commission felt that the area has historically been residential and instead of putting an office next to a residence, the City should make the transition on its own property, rather than on the property line. Mayor Moss expressed his concern with selling the property residential and being faced later with a request to classify it office. Mr. Perry indicated that deed restrictions can be placed on the property. He suggested that if Council decides to alter the Planning Commission's recommendation, that another public hearing should be scheduled. Council Member Anderson commented that it might not look good for the City to change the classification just to receive additional revenue and he favors selling the property with permanent deed restrictions. Council Member Kehoe had the opportunity of speaking with homeowners in the area, and they object to office development next to their residences. MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Dahl, authorizing staff to proceed with obtaining an appraisal, preparing a parcel map, lot split, advertising and signage regarding the City's land on Sonoma Street and authorizing the associated costs and staff time. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes DRAFT ORDINANCE - re Excursion Boat (R-200-600) Planning and Community Development Director Perry related that the River and Waterways Commission at its May 15, 1992, meeting recommended that Council adopt an ordinance regarding excursion boats. The intent of the Commission is to prevent the establishment of excursion boats on the Sacramento River in Redding similar to those used on the Rogue River in Oregon. The Commission feels that an excursion boat similar to the "Trade Winds," as used last year by Park Marina Water Sports, is acceptable and should be allowed. As written, the Ordinance establishes a vessel like the "Trade Winds" as the upper limit for excursion boats. Mr. Perry related that the following regulations pertain to the operation of excursion boats: 1) Operator-licensing requirements under the State Department of Boating and Waterways pertaining to "for hire" vessels carrying four or more passengers; 2) Liability requirements for "for hire" vessels 17 06/02/92 under the Public Utility Commission for the transportation of persons; 3) The State Harbors and Navigation Code, particularly Section 660, dealing with the establishment of local regulations; 4) Applicable federal regulations; 5) The State Boating Law; 6) Fishing license requirements (party-boat license) if fishing is allowed from the boat; and 7) Local zoning and business license requirements. Mr. Perry noted that only aforementioned items 3 and 7 provide some opportunity for local regulation. For example, dock construction, ticket sales, off-street parking, outdoor storage, restroom facilities, signage, etc., could be regulated under the City Zoning Ordinance as either a permitted use, a prohibited use, or a use that must obtain a use permit to operate. Mr. Perry related that Section 660 of the Harbors and Navigation Code provides for the enactment of local regulations for boats and vessels, but only pertaining to "time-of-day restriction, speed zones, special-use areas, and sanitation and pollution control, the provisions of which are not in conflict with the provision 18 06/02/92 of this chapter or regulations adopted by the Department." Mr. Perry explained that if the City does enact a River regulation, it must be sent to the State Department of Boating and Waterways 30 days before becoming effective. Mr. Perry stated that it is the opinion of the River and Waterways Commission that the Sacramento River should be thought of as a linear park through the community with an emphasis on quiet, harmony between user groups, and protection of wildlife values. To retain that ambience, it is the Commission's recommendation that the Ordinance be enacted before commercial excursion boats make their appearance. If Council feels the Ordinance should be given further consideration, it is recommended that it be reviewed for any desired changes and that it then be sent to the State for comment. Once the State's comments are obtained, a final ordinance can be prepared. Council Member Dahl inquired as to the costs associated with administration and enforcement of the ordinance. Mr. Perry replied that the ordinance as structured, would probably function very similar to a use permit. He indicated that there has been previous controversy surrounding two excursion boat proposals. Council Member Dahl opined that the proposed ordinance only adds more regulations at a time when the City is downsizing and under fiscal restraints. He is not sure that this is the time to be enacting new regulations, as it is difficult to enforce existing regulations. Mayor Moss indicated that since the establishment of a speed limit and the elimination of jet skis on the river, compliance has been very good without requiring the river to be patrolled. He, therefore, does not see significant costs associated with the implementation of this ordinance. He related that the City cannot avoid the responsibility it has for preserving the Sacramento River flowing through its boundaries. The City needs to take the necessary steps at the present time to preserve it for quiet, compatible uses as they currently exist. Because the State Department of Boating and Waterways is required to review the ordinance prior to becoming law, it should be in fairly good legal standing. In addition, he does not want the City to deviate from its policy of acquiring riverfront property. An ordinance needs to be established to pre-commit the City to standards which apply to excursion boats. He related that previous applications for excursion boat activity, which were considered by the Planning Commission, received substantial opposition from the community, and, therefore, influence his decision to have an ordinance on file. Mr. Perry related that if the boat size is kept nominal and does not involve high volume passenger boats or speed boats, controversy should be minimal. He stated that the previous applications were ultimately withdrawn. Council Member Arness stated that he does not disagree with Mayor Moss' view, however, he must concur with Council Member Dahl that the proposed ordinance is unnecessary. Council Member Kehoe explained that he could support the proposed ordinance if there is a demonstrated need; however, based upon the information provided, thre is no demonstrated need at the present time. If the need arises in the future, he certainly would be supportive of the ordinance. In response to Mayor Moss, Mr. Perry explained that the City currently controls such activities through zoning regulations and use permits. MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member Dahl, determining that the ordinance is not needed at the present time. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Anderson, Arness, Dahl and Kehoe Noes: Council Members - Moss Absent: Council Members - None REDDING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT - Notice of Exemption from City Zoning (E-060-500) Planning and Community Development Director Perry explained that the City has received a letter from the Redding Elementary School District whereby it has exempted the expansion of Sequoia School from having to obtain a use permit 19 06/02/92 from the City. This action by the school board is consistent with past actions where it has added portable units to campuses without City review. This is the first time, however, the District has gone through the proper procedure. Mr. Perry related that upon receipt of the school district's resolution, the City may commence an action in Superior Court seeking to have the court find that the school board action was arbitrary and capricious. If the Court finds in the City's favor, then the District needs to comply with the City's zoning. From staff's perspective, the issue is not expansion of the project; but rather, an adequate and complete review of the impacts of the project and precedent. School districts typically tend to plead ignorance of Government Code requirements and coordination with the City as they meet their facility needs. Mr. Perry commented that there is a policy question on the part of the City Council. Recently, the City did issue a use permit to Live Oak School. The City has also required school-site dedications for the following school districts, 20 06/02/92 through the subdivision process, which will likely result in new school development: (1) Enterprise - 1; (2) Columbia - 1; (3) Pacheco - 1; (4) Shasta Lake Union - 1; and (5) Redding - 3. Mr. Perry provided three approaches for Council's consideration: (1) All schools should obtain a use permit for expansion or establishment; 92) Only some schools should obtain a use permit; and (3) The City does not want to review school development. It is the recommendation of staff that Council review this item in closed session with the City Attorney. Mayor Moss did not feel it appropriate to discuss this matter in closed session. In response to Council Member Arness, Mr. Perry replied that the City could ask that the right-of-way be reserved for the future expansion of Placer to Park Marina Avenue. The City has issued a use permit for Live Oak School on Oasis Road and worked with them on the process. Mr. Perry stated that the most important issue surrounding this school expansion is the reservation of right-of-way for future road development. In addition, he does not believe the district has the right to designate parking on Sequoia Street. In addition, staff is also concerned about sewer and water connection charges and loading the systems without staff being aware of what is occurring. Public Works Director Galusha reported that there have been problems in the past with the placement of water hydrants. The collection of water and sewer connection charges are important as they are utilized to expand the system. Mr. Perry indicated that staff asked the school district to obtain a use permit or let the City know its intention. The school district responded with the resolution indicating it would not be obtaining a use permit. The City can only assess a school district certain fees, such as utility connection charges. In response to Council Member Kehoe, Mr. Perry indicated that a body is obliged to give public notice on a Negative Declaration. The City does it by notice to adjoining property owners within 300 feet. He is not sure, however, how the school district handled the matter. Mayor Moss conveyed that the use permit process is well established and he supports the concept of requiring the school district to obtain a use permit. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Arness, authorizing the Mayor to send a letter to Redding Elementary School District expressing Council's concern regarding its exemption and requesting that the Board reconsider its position. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes THIRD ANNUAL DUCKY DERBY (L-010-390-100) Planning and Community Development Director Perry indicated that the Rotary Clubs of Northern California is requesting permission to conduct the Third Annual Ducky Derby on September 27, 1992. The event will be conducted in the vicinity of Caldwell Park and the Sacramento River and pedestrian trail. The Recreation and Parks Commission and the River and Waterways Commission have recommended approval of this year's event. It is the recommendation of staff that Council authorize the Planning Director to approve Administration Use Permit AUP-30-92 subject to the list of conditions indicated in the Report to City Council dated May 19, 1992, incorporated herein by reference. It is further recommended that staff be directed to evaluate the impacts of combining the Ducky Derby event with the Redding Museum's Annual Arts and Crafts Faire. In response to Council Member Anderson, representatives of the Ducky Derby indicated that they do not utilize balloons; therefore, the condition of the Use Permit prohibiting the use of balloons for promotion purposes or for sale is not seen as a problem. 21 06/02/92 Finance Director Downing indicated that the cost of providing services for the Ducky Derby is estimated at $3,200.00 and money is not included in the 1992-93 budget at this time. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, authorizing the Planning Director to approve Administration Use Permit AUP-30- 92 subject to the proposed list of conditions indicated in the Report to City Council dated May 19, 1992 and direct staff to evaluate the impacts of combining the Ducky Derby event with the Redding Museum's Annual Arts and Crafts Faire weekend. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes SOUTH BONNYVIEW BOAT LAUNCH - re Location of Restroom (P-050-650) Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed the Report to City Council dated May 27, 1992, incorporated herein by reference. He indicated that 22 06/02/92 the River and Waterways Commission made a recommendation to Council that the proposed restroom facility at the South Bonnyview Boat Ramp be located closer to the River. Mr. Perry stated that the conceptual master plan has shown the restroom at or near its current location 480 feet from the top of the ramp since 1986. Sometime in 1988, City and State staff investigated the possibility of placing the restrooms closer to the River and boat ramp. The area immediately adjacent to the ramp was eliminated over a concern for removing additional trees and riparian vegetation as well as flooding concerns. The planter area in the parking lot just west of the ramp was given the most consideration as an alternative location for the same reasons as cited by the River and Waterways Commission. Having the restroom closer to the ramp and the water's edge would in fact be more convenient to boaters and would discourage human pollution along the bank or in the River. This site was eventually eliminated based on the concerns for flooding, utility locations, the ability to have gravity-flow sewer service, and concern with development in the floodplain. The planter location is in the floodplain of the River and use of the planter location would require a combination of fill, sewer pumps, and a variance from the City. In addition, Mr. Perry related that existing elevations do not permit a gravity-flow solution. The building pad in the planter location would have to be raised ten feet to have a gravity-flow line of 2 percent, which is the minimum required under the Uniform Building Code. This would place the sewer line above the grade of the existing parking lot and create handicap-access problems. It is the opinion of staff that the circumstances do not warrant placing fill and building a permanent structure into the floodplain and that doing so would not be consistent with the Redding General Plan or the "FP" Floodplain Combining District. If Council desires to relocate the restroom, the location should be within the parking area, outside the floodplain. Mayor Moss related that both the State and City have spent a considerable amount of money on this boat launch facility and he concurs with the concept of avoiding additional costs and pumps. He indicated that the City should, however, install some temporary restrooms closer to the river during heavy river usage. It is important that restroom facilities be available to the public and located in a easily accessible location to avoid water contamination. Mr. Perry replied that there is currently a portable toilet at the facility for river users and is located just past the head of the boat ramp. MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member Dahl, directing staff to proceed with the construction of the restroom in the planned location under the agreement with the State. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MONTHLY STATUS REPORT (A-050-250) Planning and Community Development Director Perry submitted the Monthly Status Report through April 30, 1992 for the following work areas: (1) Annexations; (2) Planning and Zoning; (3) Building and Population; (4) Housing Assistance and Rehabilitation; and (5) Redevelopment Agency. This was an information item and no action was required. PROVISION OF SERVICES FUNDED BY THE GENERAL FUND (T-010-650 & A-150) Planning and Community Development Director Perry highlighted the Report to City Council dated May 27, 1992, incorporated herein by reference. He recalled that Council requested staff to estimate the level of funds needed to provide urban services for newly annexing areas. Based on a General Fund budget of $36,536,000.00 and a population of 70,000 and 27,890 dwelling units, staff estimates the City spends annually $522 per capita and $1,310 per household. He explained that this is an overstatement of the actual issue before Council, which is to make up for lost property tax revenues in new annexations, as future residents or households will contribute other sources of revenue to the General Fund. 23 06/02/92 Mr. Perry explained that using a range of home prices from $100,000.00 to $400,000.00, the average property tax received under the City's prior Property Tax Exchange Agreement was $408.00, and under the new agreement $163.33, a difference of approximately $245.00. A median-priced home in Redding in 1991- 92 was priced at about $140,000.00. This home would have generated about $245.00 if built in the City and $98.00 if built in a newly annexed area, representing a difference of $147.00. The difference based on either the median-priced home or the average of the housing price range is the minimum amount to be made up. Mr. Perry provided several alternative approaches for Council's consideration with regard to the fee to be assessed in newly annexed areas: (1) One-time development fees; (2) Residential Only - Based on property tax proceeds this would yield a fee on a per-capita basis of $81.17 and on a per household fee of $199.66; (3) Mello-Roos Calculations - For the average residence, this is $314.00, less a credit of $141.00 for the existing property tax paid, leaving a balance of $173.00 to be raised, plus collection costs; (4) Direct Offset - Add a 10.5 percent surcharge to the existing total property taxes paid by each parcel; (5) Split Assessment; and (6) Other Variations. Mr. Perry stated that once the fees are established, an annual built-in index or annual adjustment would be needed. More elaborate studies can be done; however, without a more specific need, it may be only of interest in an academic sense. Essentially, the range is from $150.00 to $300.00 depending on what is intended. For the purpose of this exercise, the Enterprise Operations were considered self-supporting. Staff is requesting some level of fee so that staff can continue work on the formation of the Mello-Roos District, as well as have a figure which can be discussed with individuals involved in pending annexations. Council Member Arness indicated he is not in favor of the split assessment and the associated problems. Council Member Anderson suggested a fee of $300.00. Council Member Dahl voiced support of a $250.00 to $300.00 range. MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Dahl, establishing an annual fee schedule range of $250.00 to $300.00 to cover the cost of providing services to newly-annexing areas. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RESOLUTION - Supplemental Appropriation re Additional Staff Work on Annexation/Area Plans * (B-130-070 & L-010-075 & A-150) Planning and Community Development Director Perry related that staff is in the process of writing the environmental impact report for the Westside Area Plan and is continuing the processing of three annexations approved by the Local Area Formation Commission (LAFCO), for which Conducting Authority hearings are scheduled for June. In addition, staff will present Annexation 90-17, Stillwater Treatment Plant, to LAFCO on June 25, 1992, and may be involved in providing Council with background information concerning the feasibility of forming Mello-Roos Districts for the ten pending annexations before LAFCO. There is, however, no monies remaining in this year's budget to fund continued staff time to work on these projects. It is the recommendation of staff that Council adopt a resolution authorizing a supplemental appropriation of $9,500.00 enabling staff to continue work on annexations and area plans through the end of this fiscal year. MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member Anderson, that Resolution No. 92-249 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving and adopting the 95th amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 91-253 appropriating $9,500.00 for staff work on annexations and area plans. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Anderson, Arness, Dahl, Kehoe and Moss Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 92-249 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. 24 06/02/92 SHASTA HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (G-100-030-200) Planning and Community Development Director Perry related that a letter has been received from the Shasta Housing Development Corporation (SHDC) requesting Council's endorsement of a senior housing project with SHDC and Retirement Housing Foundation (RHF) are proposing to build in Redding. The project is proposed to be located on a 5.9 acre parcel off of Lake Boulevard on Alder Street. The parcel is zoned "RM-9," "U-F" and would allow, by use permit, approximately 104 senior units. According to the letter, HUD 202 financing is being sought and support from Council would make the application more competitive. A use permit has not yet been obtained. Mr. Perry explained that development of affordable senior housing has been identified as a community need in both the Housing Element and the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy, however, endorsement by Council is not typically given for a specific project while discretionary actions are still pending. It is the recommendation of staff that Council authorize the Mayor to send a letter indicating the City's general support of new affordable senior housing in Redding. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, authorizing the Mayor to send a letter to the Shasta Housing Development Corporation indicating the City's general support of new affordable senior housing in the Redding area. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes ORDINANCE - re Public Parking at Redding Municipal Airport (P-030-300 & A-090-100) Airports Director Ruff recalled that Council at its May 19, 1992, meeting enacted a resolution approving a new program at the Redding Municipal Airport and the operating agreement with Republic Parking System to implement said program. The current City Code does not deal with the new parking system. It is, therefore, the recommendation of staff that an ordinance be offered for first reading changing the current City Code to address the new parking program at Redding Municipal Airport. In response to Council Member Anderson, Mr. Ruff indicated that Republic Parking has met with the restaurant operator and one of the provisions of the agreement stipulates that some type of validation program would be made available for the restaurant. Council Member Dahl offered Ordinance No. 2017 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Chapter 11.24 of the Redding Municipal Code by repealing Section 11.24.330 and substituting therefor a new Section 11.24.330, pertaining to parking at the Redding Municipal Airport. AWARD OF BID - Bid Schedule No. 2644, One Low Ground Pressure Bulldozer (B-050-100) General Services Director Masingale indicated that West Central Landfill budgeted for a low ground pressure bulldozer to be procured by City financing. Eleven bid packets were mailed to potential vendors, with two bids being received. The low bid from Weaver Equipment Company of Anderson, in the total amount of $171,956.89 contained numerous, major deviations from the bid specifications. The second low bid from Peterson Tractor of Redding, in the amount of $221,900.25 meets all bid specifications. Mr. Masingale related that the bid not meeting specifications did not provide the high track design, as opposed to a standard oval design. The high track design was specified as the sprock gear would be up and prevent wire, rope, and plastic from being wrapped around the final drive and causing maintenance problems. In addition, a split master link was not provided as specified. He explained that the City currently owns a D-8 Caterpillar high track tractor, as well as a D-7 with oval tracks, and it is the professional opinion of staff that the bid proposal contained specifications which best suits the City's needs. It is the recommendation of staff that the bid be awarded to Peterson Tractor of Redding, in the amount of $221,900.25, recognizing that it meets all the 25 06/02/92 bid specifications, and authorize staff to negotiate the trade-in of the D-7F bulldozer for the purchase of this equipment. In response to Council Member Kehoe, Mr. Masingale indicated the trade-in value of the D-7F bulldozer could go as high as $23,000.00. If the bulldozer is traded in, the trade-in value would be reduced off the purchase price. Finance Director Downing related that if the bulldozer is sold to an outside party, the monies received would be shown as surplus property sales within the Solid Waste Fund. Larry Odis, Weaver Equipment, opined that the bid specifications were crafted so that only one company could successfully provide the equipment. He indicated that if it is the City's intent to purchase equipment to move rubbish, either the John Deere or the Caterpillar would work. He related the history behind Weaver Equipment and stated that it is willing to provide the City with a letter which indicates if a part cannot be provided within 24 hours, it would pay for the cost of the part. Council Member Kehoe asked Mr. Odis if it is his contention that the City specifically wrote the bid specifications in such a fashion that only one firm could successfully compete, to which Mr. Odis responded in the affirmative. Mr. Masingale indicated that if Council were to choose an alternative other than to award the bid to Peterson Tractor, all the bids would need to be rejected and rebid. Royce Stevens, Peterson Tractor, advised Council that if another Caterpillar dealer were to be awarded a City bid, Peterson Tractor would be the responsible service center. In addition, Caterpillar Tractor is the only company who manufactures a high sprocket machine. He provided an overview of the various municipalities which utilize Caterpillar equipment and opined that the equipment is purchased because of the product support. He commented that the high sprocket drive is preferred as the drive mechanism is out of the environment and, in the long run, is the lowest cost per hour to operate. Council Member Kehoe inquired how it can be a competitive bid process when only one company can respond. He appreciates staff's desire to get the best suited piece of equipment; however, he questions if there is a better mechanism for securing it and ensuring the best prices. Mayor Moss concurred that he is concerned about specifying equipment which only one company can provide and ensuring that the City is getting the best price available. He acknowledged, however, that the people who are responsible for the operation of this equipment are convinced that the high sprocket caterpillar will do the best job. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Anderson, to award Bid Schedule No. 2644, one low ground pressure bulldozer, to Peterson Tractor of Redding, in the amount of $221,900.25 and authorize staff to negotiate the trade-in of the D-7F bulldozer for the purchase of this equipment. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes 26 06/02/92 RESOLUTION - Agreement with North State Resources, Inc. re Viking Road Biological Survey Project RESOLUTION - Agreement with DKS Associates for a Traffic and Noise Impact Analysis re Solid Waste Transfer Station EIR Addendum (L-010-075 & S-020-650) General Services Director Masingale indicated that Council at its May 5, 1992 meeting authorized staff to explore other alternatives in order to prepare a supplement to the Transfer Station Environmental Impact Report (EIR) as cost effectively as possible. Other alternatives pursued were to do the work in- house and obtain additional quotes from consultants. After reviewing quotes from Furgro-McClelland (West), Inc. and CH2M Hill, staff is of the opinion it can prepare the supplement in-house and subcontract out the plant survey/wetlands determination and transportation elements considerably less than the quotes. It is the recommendation of staff that Council approve resolutions approving proposals from North State Resources, in an amount not to exceed $5,000.00, for the plant survey and wetlands determination and DKS Associates, in an amount not to exceed $6,025.00, for the transportation element update, thereby enabling staff to prepare a supplement to the Transfer Station EIR. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Anderson, that Resolution No. 92-250 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving the authorization for professional services dated May 28, 1992, between the City of Redding and North State Resources, Inc. for the Viking Road Biological Survey Project, not to exceed $5,000.00, and authorizing the City Manager to sign on behalf of the City.

Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Anderson, Arness, Dahl, Kehoe and Moss Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 92-251 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. AIR QUALITY DISTRICT'S EMPLOYER TRIP REDUCTION RULE (E-020-010) Public Works Director Galusha reviewed the Report to City Council dated May 28, 1992, which outlined the requirements of the Air Quality District's Employer Trip Reduction Rule. Public Works and Planning staff attended a workshop conducted by the Shasta County Air Quality Management District (AQMD) which provided an overview of the rule and outlined the impacts of the rule on employers with 200 or more employees at the work site. The following year the employee number drops to 100 per work site to be in compliance with the rule. To meet this goal, the proposed rule includes the following four mandatory meansure that must be followed: (1) Designate an employee transportation coordinator to serve as the liaison to the district and be responsible for the development, implementation, and monitoring of the trip reduction plans; (2) Provide all employees written information on alternate commute modes; (3) Provide all employees with commuter matching services; and (4) Provide and administer a program of preferential parking for carpool and vanpool vehicles when possible. Additionally, during the High Ozone Season, May through October, it is recommended that employers implement other internal programs to assist in the reduction of pollution. It is the recommendation of staff that Council authorize staff to proceed with the development of the plan to be in conformance with the rule at such time as the AQMD adopts the rule. At this point, the rule is a draft. Until the 27 06/02/92 district takes action, we could proceed with development of a plan that may not fit the final adopted rule. At such time as a plan is developed, we would also prepare the necessary staff and funding needs for the Council's consideration. If the plan is adopted as presently drafted, minimal expense will be incurred to meet the four mandatory items. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Anderson, authorizing staff to proceed with the development of an Air Quality District's Employee Trip Reduction Plan to be in conformance with the rule at such time as the Shasta County Air Quality Management District adopts its Employer Trip Reduction Transportation Control Measure.
