RESOLUTION - Endorsement of Enterprise Starship's Trip to Germany (A-050-060) Mayor Moss conveyed that the Mayors of Berlin, Potsdam, and Hamburg Germany have invited Enterprise High School's "Enterprise Starship" to represent the State of California by performing at the "American Musical Salute to Germany" in July 1993. The group is requesting the City's endorsement of its venture to facilitate contact with local governments and others that the group may be in contact with during its trip. He noted that financial support from the City is not being sought. He also suggested that the members of the group serve as ambassadors of the City and that the City make an appropriate number of keys to the City and other tokens of friendship available to the group. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, that "Enterprise Starship" serve as ambassadors of the City of Redding and that keys to the City and other tokens of friendship be made available to them and that Resolution No. 92-458 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding endorsing and supporting the contemplated trip of "Enterprise Starship" to Germany in July 1993.

FINANCING FOR CONVENTION CENTER REPAIRS (D-050 & C-050-050 & C-175-825-100) Director of Finance Downing related that if Council desires to proceed with the roof replacement and parking lot repair and slurry seal at the Redding Convention Center, it would be possible to issue debt along with the Redding Redevelopment Agency (RRA). The debt issue would be handled through the Redding Joint Powers Financing Authority (RJPFA) as one debt issue with two series of bonds. It is estimated that the City could save approximately $40,000.00 with this financing structure. Ms. Downing stated that the estimated costs for the projects are $385,000.00 for the Convention Center roof and $77,000.00 for the parking lot, for a total of $462,000.00. Annual debt service for the debt issue, based on a 20-year term, would be approximately $39,000.00. It is the recommendation of staff that Council direct staff to proceed with a debt issuance to finance the roof replacement and parking lot repair and slurry seal at the Convention Center in conjunction with the RRA debt issuance. Mayor Moss inquired if staff was aware of the fact that the Shasta Area Safety Communications Agency (SHASCOM) is seeking a financing vehicle for its facility. Ms. Downing responded that the City was aware of the fact. City Manager Christofferson commented that a memorandum was received from SHASCOM's General Manager, John Atkinson, indicating that after discussions with the County, SHASCOM was prepared to obtain its own financing. Mayor Moss and Council Member Anderson related that they were not aware of the referenced communication. Mayor Moss opined that there had not been enough communication between the City and SHASCOM and doubted that SHASCOM was even aware of the City's pending debt financing. Mr. Christofferson stated that he had made a point of speaking with Mr. Atkinson about this matter and inquiring whether or not SHASCOM was ready to proceed. Mayor Moss and Council Member Anderson concurred that staff should again contact SHASCOM regarding this possible funding vehicle, as SHASCOM is in the position to proceed with its project. 13 11/03/92 In response to Council Member Arness, Ms. Downing stated that the roof replacement represents the least expensive plan proposed and does not change the Convention Center's style or shape. Public Works Director Galusha stated that the project entails the placement of a synthetic membrane on the roof and some roof drain work. MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Dahl, directing staff to proceed with a debt issuance, approximately $462,000.00, to finance the roof replacement and parking lot repair and slurry seal at the Redding Convention Center in conjunction with the Redding Redevelopment Agency's debt issuance. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RESOLUTION - Ordering Abandonment re Abandonment Application A-3-92, by Paul Edgren (Country Heights, Units 5 and 8) (A-010-040 & S-100-108) Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that Council at its October 20, 1992, meeting, approved Abandonment Application A-3-92 in concept, as one owner had not yet signed acknowledging acceptance of the additional area. Mr. Perry stated that all property owners have now signed indicating acceptance of the additional area. It is, therefore, the recommendation of staff that Council adopt a resolution ordering the vacation and abandonment of portions of open-space easements within Country Heights Subdivision, Units 5 and 8. MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member Dahl, that Resolution No. 92-459 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding ordering the vacation and abandonment of portions of open-space easements dedicated to the City of Redding with the recording of Units 5 and 8 of the Country Heights Subdivision. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Anderson, Arness, Dahl, Kehoe and Moss Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 92-459 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. REDDING RANCHERIA TRIBAL COUNCIL - re Request for City Services (W-030-500) Planning and Community Development Director Perry stated that a letter has been received from the Redding Rancheria Tribal Council (Rancheria) regarding obtaining City sewer and water service in conjunction with future development of the property, particularly a bingo establishment. The Rancheria is located on Highway 273 south of Clear Creek. Although outside the City, the Rancheria borders the City limits on the south and east. Because the Rancheria is Indian Trust Land, it has the status of a sovereign nation and is exempt from local government regulations, except those negotiated by an agreement. Mr. Perry commented that staff has had several discussions in response to the request. Prior to proceeding with the project, however, staff felt additional guidance was required from Council. He noted additional concerns regarding fire, police, land use, and traffic issues. In the opinion of staff, the best approach for the City to take is to seek to negotiate an agreement covering a broad range of City/Trust land issues. Whether or not the Rancheria is in the City, in the future, it will probably be surrounded by the City. If Council concurs, the action would be to direct staff to negotiate an agreement, taking into consideration existing Council policy on services outside the City. In response to Council Member Anderson, Mr. Perry stated that when this issue was considered in 1987, Council did not want to allow connections to the City's sewer and water system and relinquish its land use authority. Council later reconsidered the matter, however, its position remained unchanged. Seeing no benefit to annexing the area, Council Member Arness favored providing water and sewer service to the area under a contractual agreement. He stated 14 11/03/92 that the contract should also address the Circulation Element of the City's General Plan and ensure that dedicated funds are available for roadways and signals. Council Member Kehoe stated that he and Council Member Anderson visited the site. He noted that residents have various concerns and questioned whether providing sewer and water service to the Rancheria would exasperate the problems and enable the size of the Bingo establishment to increase. Mr. Perry indicated that the agreement could contain provisions which address areas of concern. If the City were to decide that it wanted to oppose the Bingo operation, it would probably not want to provide any services. From a more practical point of view, however, if there is going to be a Bingo establishment, the City would probably want what is best for the community from a functional standpoint. Mayor Moss favored developing an agreement to provide sewer and water service, as well as a full range of City services, while acknowledging the Tribe's existence as a sovereign nation. Council Member Dahl recalled that when Council previously considered this matter, there had been controversy regarding the gambling operation, as well as concerns from the City's Police Department. He questioned whether the Rancheria would proceed with the Bingo establishment if the City declined to provide sewer and water service. Mr. Perry assumed that the Rancheria would proceed with the Bingo establishment regardless of the City's decision. He related that the Rancheria is willing to discuss payment for services provided and deal with the City on a contractual basis with regard to future land development. In response to Council Member Dahl, Mr. Perry stated that if Council desired to proceed with negotiations, he hoped that the Rancheria would provide an initial draft agreement for the City's consideration and modification. He said that costs associated with negotiations could be handled as follows: 1) Charged to the annexation account for Planning Department's time; 2) Prepare a budget amendment; 3) Fold into a Mello-Roos District, if permissible; or 4) Have the applicant pay all associated costs. Barbara Murphy, Chief Executive Officer of the Redding Rancheria and tribal member, stated that the Rancheria's main purpose for contacting the City is to obtain sewer and water service to ensure public safety and eliminate any environmental impacts associated with a sewage treatment plant. She noted that all monies used to construct the bingo establishment are borrowed. The Rancheria considers this to be a business venture and is prepared to pay its fair share. She commented on the positive aspects of the bingo establishment, such as employment and additional monies which would be spent within the community. She stated that fire protection is provided by the California Department of Forestry and police services are provided by the Shasta County Sheriff's Office. Based on the amount of land owned by the Rancheria, the Bingo establishment is viewed as a method of earning the economic development necessary to establish other businesses and reduce the cycle of dependency on public assistance. In response to Mayor Moss, Ms. Murphy explained that as a result of a court case, Shasta County is returning the road in the Rancheria to the Bureau of Indian Affairs to be held in trust for the tribe. The Rancheria will then contract with the federal government for highway funds to maintain the road. The Rancheria is also on a priority list for a new road which will be entirely funded by highway funds. In response to Council Member Arness, Ms. Murphy stated that no alcohol will be served at the bingo establishment. One of the mitigation measures of the EIR states that the Rancheria would pay its fair share of whatever impacts it has on the intersection once improvements are completed. Most traffic impacts would occur between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. and again between 11:00 p.m. and midnight. Part of the management plan would be to provide employees to assist with people exiting the site. 15 11/03/92 In response to Council Member Anderson, Mr. Perry related that developmental controls with regard to parking, noise mitigation, etc. would have to be negotiated as part of the agreement. In response to Council Member Kehoe, Ms. Murphy stated that regardless if City services were obtained, the size of the bingo establishment would not change. She noted that the Rancheria has submitted an application to the Department of Housing and Urban Development to develop a community facility on the parcel of land adjacent to the bingo establishment, which would house the tribal offices. With regard to providing electrical service to the Rancheria, City Attorney Hays explained that because of its status as a sovereign nation, residents of the Rancheria would not be considered citizens of the City even if annexation were to occur, thereby prohibiting City electrical services to be provided to the area. 16 11/03/92 MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Arness, directing staff to initiate negotiations with the Redding Rancheria Tribal Council to contract to provide water and sewer services with a sovereign nation and ensure that costs to the City, including those incurred during negotiations, are recovered. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes AIR QUALITY GRANT - From the Shasta County Regional Transportation Planning Agency and the Air Quality Management District (E-020-010) Planning and Community Development Director Perry explained that the Shasta County Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA), with the approval of the Air Quality Management District, has set aside $115,070.00 in grant funds for City of Redding air quality projects and programs that are nominated by Council. The funding source for the grant is from the surcharge fee for motor vehicles registered in Shasta County. Projects that are funded must work to reduce motor vehicle emissions and have a direct air quality benefit. Staff presented a list of ten projects and programs for submission to the RTPA and an explanation of each project, including the work and recovery cost for implementing each program, as indicated in the Report to City Council dated October 27, 1992, incorporated herein by reference. It is the recommendation of staff that Council direct staff to submit the ten projects and programs to the RTPA for funding. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Arness, directing staff to submit the ten projects and programs indicated in the Report to City Council dated October 27, 1992 to the Shasta County Regional Transportation Planning Agency for funding. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PROPOSED NOVEMBER 1992 ELECTRIC UTILITY RATE ADJUSTMENT (E-090-100) Director of Electric Utility Lindley related that the Electric Utility Commission has recommended that Council adopt a 8.7 percent electric rate increase and requested Council direction with regard to the Electric Department's Service Policy. Electric Utility Resources Manager Coleman recapped the circumstances leading up to the Electric Utility Commission's recommended rate increase, as indicated in the Report to City Council dated October 28, 1992, incorporated herein by reference. Council Member Dahl suggested that Council continue discussion on this issue and schedule a joint meeting with the Electric Utility Commission to discuss the following issues: a) Rate Philosophy; b) Resource Plan; c) Mechanism for activating consideration of a rate increase; d) Electric Service Policy; and e) Other subsidies being provided. He also questioned whether or not it was possible to place line items on the utility bills specifying what the ratepayer is paying, such as those costs associated with the Central Valley Project. City Manager Christofferson replied that it would be possible to place line items on the utility bills. Mr. Lindley stated that approximate dollar values would be possible; however, accurate numbers would be difficult. Council Member Arness provided each Council Member with a memorandum outlining items which the City has control over and which drive rates. He stressed the importance of reviewing these items, as a one percent electrical increase equates to approximately $430,000.00. He opined that it is Council's responsibility to see that the utilities remain in sound fiscal order. Mr. Lindley commented that delaying the adoption of the electrical rate increase results in an increase of approximately .15 percent per month. He acknowledged that there are some possible alternatives which probably need to be reviewed, one being a Service Policy change. Fran Jenkins, 2652 Sharon Street, made a comparison of her City of Redding utility bills from September 1979 to September 1992. She stated that in February 1979, she used 3,480 kwh and her total utility bill was $78.36. In September 1992, she used 2,222 kwh and her total utility bill was $172.31. She stated that the ratepayer should not be subsidizing the developmental 17 11/03/92 community. Individuals on limited incomes cannot withstand these additional increases. Based on personal experience, she indicated that Council should also examine the City's method of billing. Russell Hunt, 2058 Sonoma Street, expressed concern with the following issues: 1) Money being spent on feasibility studies for projects which have never produced electricity, such as Lake Redding; 2) Employees in the City's Electrical Department are not required to pay into the Social Security system; and 3) Developers need to pay the true costs of hooking up to the City's electrical system. MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member Dahl, to schedule a joint meeting with the Electric Utility Commission for 5:00 p.m., November 19, 1992, in the City Council Chambers to discuss the November 1992 proposed electric utility rate adjustment and related electrical issues. 18 11/03/92 ENTERPRISE COMMUNITY PARK MASTER PLAN RESOLUTION - Appropriating Funds (P-050-145) Recreation and Parks Director Riley explained that the Austin Hansen group developed a master plan for the Enterprise Community Park by utilizing the following: 1) The approved Recreation and Park Plan; 2) Meetings with the Enterprise area residents to discuss the needs of the Enterprise Community Park; and 3) A neighborhood task force which worked jointly with the Recreation and Parks Commission. It is the recommendation of the Enterprise Community Park Task Force, the Recreation and Parks Commission, and staff that Council approve the Enterprise Community Park master plan, and after the environmental assessment public hearings, authorize staff to solicit a Request for Proposal (RFP) for working drawings in an amount not to exceed $275,000.00. It is further recommended that Council adopt a resolution appropriating supplemental funds in the amount of $105,000.00 from the Park Development Funds. Marc Truscott and Bill Mastick of the Austin Hansen Group reviewed the Enterprise Community Park Master plan which is divided into three phases and estimated to cost approximately $6,000,000.00. Phase I, estimated at $3,254,000.00, includes site work, landscaping, and construction of the major facilities, i.e., community center, playground equipment, shade structures, picnic tables, and restrooms. Phase II, estimated at $257,000.00, involves development of the riparian area along Churn Creek and some secondary features. Phase III, estimated at $2,400,000.00, would develop the balance of the site. In response to Council Member Arness' question regarding the availability of funds for the development of the Enterprise Community Park, Director of Finance Downing replied that there is currently $1,700,000.00 available in Park Development Funds; however, some of those monies are obligated. Council Member Arness referenced a letter received by Council from a resident in the Lake Redding Subdivision area concerning two undeveloped park sites. He questioned whether the City had any liability or was legally bound with the acceptance of the Subdivision Map or the collection of fees to develop these two locations. Mr. Riley indicated that he is working with the City Attorney's office to determine where the City stands legally with regard to the two remaining park sites within the Lake Redding Subdivision. These two lots will be taken into consideration by the Recreation and Parks Commission when prioritizing Park Development Fund expenditures. When these types of proposals are presented for consideration, Council Member Anderson requested staff to provide information regarding proposed financing. He questioned how staff proposed to pay for the Phase I development. Mr. Riley stated that his objective is to have working drawings completed and available when the necessary funds become available, such as through a grant or a foundation. He noted that the Recreation and Parks Commission will be meeting on November 6, 1992, to prioritize Park Development Fund expenditures. Council Member Arness favored proceeding with the development of the working drawings for the entire Master Plan. Council Member Dahl related that the Enterprise area has been promised a regional park since its annexation in 1976. He, too, favored proceeding with the working drawings; and he questioned whether it would be more logical to lower the dollar amounts of the initial phases. Mr. Riley noted that one of the large costs associated with Phase I is the construction of a community center. He acknowledged that once the working drawings are completed, the phases could be revised. Council Member Anderson suggested that since the Recreation and Parks Commission would be meeting to discuss the expenditure of Park Development Funds, that it also consider utilizing some of the available funds to at least start the development of the Enterprise Community Park. He did not necessarily envision the buildings being developed in the first phase. 19 11/03/92 Council Member Kehoe suggested that the Recreation and Parks Commission also develop maintenance estimates associated with the facility. Council Member Dahl recommended that the Recreation and Parks Commission reconsider the phasing of the project, as $3,000,000.00 for the first phase did not appear realistic. Mayor Moss stated the importance of proceeding with this project. He noted that the City has proceeded with many projects without knowledge of where the necessary funding would be derived. In response to Council Member Arness, Mr. Riley indicated that the $275,000.00 would only design Phase I of the facility. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Anderson, that Resolution No. 92-460 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving and adopting the 28th amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 92-306 appropriating $105,000.00 for Enterprise Community Park working drawings. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Anderson, Arness, Dahl, Kehoe and Moss Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 92-460 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Anderson, to accept the Enterprise Community Park Master Plan, direct staff to proceed with the project and after the environmental assessment public hearings, authorize staff to solicit a Request for Proposal (RFP) for working drawings on Phase I of the Enterprise Community Park in an amount not to exceed $275,000.00. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes STILLWATER SERVICE AREA MASTER PLAN (W-010-300) Public Works Director Galusha stated that Pace Engineering, Inc. has completed the Stillwater Service Area Master Sewer Plan. The report contains the following: a) Results of the preparation of a master sewer plan for the area to be served by the new Stillwater Wastewater Treatment plant; b) A Sizing determination of all major trunk sewers and lifts stations which will be needed to serve the ultimate development; c) A staging schedule and cost estimates of the general improvements which will be necessary to increase capacities of existing facilities; and d) Recommendations for sewer connection fees for the Stillwater service area. Larry Kepple of Pace Engineering highlighted the Stillwater Service Area Master Sewer Plan dated September, 1992, incorporated herein by reference. It is the recommendation of staff that Council accept the Stillwater Service Area Master Sewer Plan and direct staff to submit the plan to the Planning Commission for an environmental review. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Anderson, accepting the Stillwater Service Area Master Sewer Plan and directing staff to submit the plan to the Planning Commission for an environmental review.
