WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
SHASTA COUNTY'S PROPOSED SMOKING ORDINANCE
7
06/02/92
(E-020-010)
City Manager Christofferson indicated that there are several individuals
present who wish to address Council regarding Shasta County's Proposed Smoking
ordinance. 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

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. 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 11, 1992. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Dahl,
that Resolution No. 92-246 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the
City of Redding ordering territory designated as "Annexation 90-15, Tierra
Oaks" annexed to the City of Redding.

PUBLIC HEARING
- re Kiosks and Outdoor Temporary Retail Uses
(L-010-500-050)
The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Moss opened the public hearing
regarding Kiosks and Outdoor Temporary Retail Uses.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
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 this public
hearing concerns the adoption of an ordinance establishing regulations for
kiosk buildings and their uses, as well as a variety of temporary outdoor
retail uses. The need for the draft regulations originated with the Planning
Commission based on concerns expressed by staff in dealing with certain
seasonal and temporary uses. 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
- 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

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.

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.

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

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.

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. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
