The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Posting - Notice of Continued Public Hearing Planning Commission recommendation dated December 8, 1992 City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no protests were received. Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that Council continued consideration of Rezoning Application RZ-13-92 to allow staff to meet with Gary Borchard on the following issues: 1) The split zoning proposed for Middle Lake; 2) The staff recommendation to retain use of the "PD" designation for the recorded planned unit developments; and 3) A staff recommendation to zone the "Greenway" area to "U-F-FP." Mr. Perry stated that a letter was subsequently received from Mr. Borchard requesting the following with regard to the rezoning: 1) Zone the A-frame area "U-SP-FP" that is being reclassified from "Park" to "Residential, 9.0 units per acre;" 2) Zone the dike area to "U-SP-FP" and show the gap in the dike; 3) Retain the proposed "PD" zoning where shown; 4) Zone that portion of Middle Lake as "U-SP-FP" that is proposed as "U-FP;" and 5) Classify Kutras Lake as "U-SP-FP." He noted that staff received a telephone call from Mr. Borchard today indicating that he was in concurrence with staff's recommendation. Based on this, the classification of Kutras Lake would be "U-F-FP," rather than the "U- SP-FP" as originally recommended by Mr. Borchard. It is the recommendation of staff that Council find EIR-1-88 as adequately addressing the environmental impacts of the zoning and direct staff to prepare the implementing ordinance for consideration at a later date. Gary Anthis thanked the City for the time, effort and money it has spent on developing a Riverfront Plan for the Park Marina area. The property owners within that area look forward to working with staff and developing the Plan into something which is beneficial to the citizens of Redding. Mayor Moss determined there were no additional individuals wishing to speak on the issue and closed the public hearing. MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Dahl, finding Environmental Impact Report EIR-1-88 as adequately addressing the environmental impact of the zoning and approving Rezoning Application RZ-13-92 in concept and directing staff to prepare an implementing ordinance for consideration at a later date. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - re Community Facilities District No. 1992-1, Formation of Mello-Roos District, Annexation 90-9, Kisling Road Area (A-170-035-001 & A-150-231) The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Moss opened the public hearing regarding Community Facilities District No. 1992-1. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk. 10 12/15/92 Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission recommendation dated December 15, 1992 City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no protests were received. Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that Council, at its meeting of November 3, 1992, approved the boundary map, the agreement for legal services, and adopted the Resolution of Intention to form Community Facilities District No. 1992-1 in order to facilitate the processing of Annexation 90-9, Kisling Road Area. Mr. Perry stated that the proposed district is comprised of nine parcels with a total land area of 253.58 acres. Since there are fewer than twelve registered voters residing within the boundary, the determining vote in the election to form the district is by landowners with each owner having one vote for each acre or portion thereof. A two-thirds positive vote is necessary for approval. Sam Sperry, Law Offices of Sturgis, Ness, Brunsell & Sperry, noted that all six of the affected property owners are in favor of forming the district and annexing to the City. He noted that the Boundary Map has been recorded and the Certificate of Filing is on file with the City Clerk; the Certificate of Publication and Certificate of Mailing to each of the affected property owners with regard to the Notice of Public Hearing is on file; and the Hearing Report, as required by the Act, has been prepared by Mr. Perry and the principal component, Statement of Services, is attached to the Report to City Council dated December 15, 1992, incorporated herein by reference. Mr. Sperry stated that the Certificate of Director of Planning is on file indicating that he has researched the records and identified that there are no registered voters living within the boundaries of the proposed Community Facilities District. The election this evening will be conducted as a landowner voters election as prescribed by the Act. The number of acres in each of the affected parcels has been ascertained and the number of eligible votes for each of the owners has been determined, for a total of 256 votes. Mr. Sperry stated that each of the six landowners have in writing formally appointed Mr. Perry to act on their behalf to cast ballots and represent them in all legal aspects of these proceedings. In his and the City Clerk's presence, Mr. Sperry stated that Mr. Perry executed the ballots for all 256 votes in favor of the Community Facilities District. In addition, Mr. Perry has signed each of six separate waiver and consent forms by which he has made a number of waivers with respect to procedural requirements for conducting the election by personal service of ballots upon him, waived some time requirements and otherwise made it possible, in conformity with the Act, to go ahead and conduct the election this evening. There is a certificate on file from the City Clerk confirming that she is in receipt of and has on file each of these waivers and consent forms. With regard to the election procedure itself, Mr. Sperry indicated he prepared the ballots, and in the presence of the City Clerk, delivered them to Mr. Perry who executed them. There is also on file a Certificate of the City Clerk confirming that she did make service of those ballots. There is also a statement of the City Clerk confirming that each of the six ballots were executed, all 256 votes were cast, and the ballots returned to her. With the record showing each of these documents on file, Mr. Sperry recommended that at the close of the public hearing that Council adopt the three resolutions before it for consideration. In response to Council Member Arness, Mr. Sperry responded that it is standard practice to have a City employee act on behalf of the landowners. He presumed that the property owners, with a two-thirds vote, could reverse the action taken this evening; however, if Council desired, he would research the matter further and respond in writing. Mayor Moss determined there was no one present wishing to speak on the matter and closed the public hearing. MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Dahl, that Resolution No. 92-493 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the 11 12/15/92 City of Redding regarding the formation of Community Facilities District and to levy a special tax for Community Facilities District No. 1992-1, City of Redding, County of Shasta, State of California.

The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission recommendation dated December 3, 1992 City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no protests were received. Planning and Community Development Director Perry related that Ron Mygrant has requested an amendment to Stillwater Heights Tentative Subdivision Map S-11- 91. The amendment would reduce the size of the park to 1.8 acres, add two fourplex lots, and convert one duplex lot to a fourplex lot. Mr. Perry explained that the Recreation and Parks Commission approved the reduction of the size of the park in return for Mr. Mygrant committing to construct the park. Mr. Mygrant expressed concern that the park would remain undeveloped for an extended period if he did not build it. In addition to approving the reduction in the size of the park, Mr. Mygrant would also receive in-lieu park fee and park-development-fee credits toward the cost of park development. Mr. Perry highlighted the following issues which were particularly germane to the action before Council for consideration: 1) Change Conditions of Approval to require that a landscape maintenance district be formed prior to the issuance of any occupancy permit within the subdivision; 2) In return for constructing the park, Mr. Mygrant requested the reduction of the size of the park from 2.6 acres to 1.8 acres and the use of park fees from the project to build the park; and 3) The City would be obligated to design the park and enter into a reimbursement agreement for park-construction costs which exceed the in-lieu park fees and park development fees available, $37,182.00. It is the recommendation of staff that Council approve the amendment, ratify the Negative Declaration, direct staff to prepare an agreement stipulating the requirements outlined in the Conditions of Approval noted in the Report to City Council dated December 3, 1992, incorporated herein by reference, including obligating the City to design the park and to pay for the construction costs of the park above $37,182.00 and authorizing the City Manager to sign the agreement, and direct staff to design the park and submit a budget appropriation for Council consideration based on a postdesign cost estimate. In response to Council Member Arness, Mr. Perry replied that the landscape maintenance district referenced in the Report to City Council only provides for the maintenance of the landscaping along Old 44 Drive. He estimated the City's contribution to that of Mr. Mygrant at approximately .75 to 1. He also confirmed that the amendment would allow more density than the prior owner had requested. Council Member Kehoe questioned how staff proposed to pay for the maintenance of the park. He stated that if Council were to approve the park and the amendment, it would be required to dedicate General Fund monies at some point, probably two years after its completion, for park maintenance. He opined that the City is exacerbating its financial difficulties by developing more parks. Mr. Perry explained that Council has previously denied other forms of fundraising alternatives, therefore, at this point in time, maintenance of the City's parks is being subsidized by the General Fund. Council Member Anderson suggested that Council, at its next workshop, discuss how many parks the City can continue to build and maintain with General Fund monies. Council Member Arness concurred. Mr. Perry stated that the City is still collecting park development funds to develop parks, subdivisions are still being built and development is still occurring. He noted that one of the reasons Mr. Mygrant reduced the size of the proposed park was to reduce the maintenance costs. 13 12/15/92 Ron Mygrant, 4414 Saratoga Drive, related that the amendment equates to approximately six units per acre, which is below the allowed density of nine units per acre. He explained that the size of the park is somewhat arbitrary in that it is a trade off for the in-lieu park fees. The original size of the park would have meant the City would have received nothing in the way of in- lieu park fees. Given the present market conditions, he opined that the park could be developed for an amount substantially lower than estimated by staff. He stated that Council may wish to explore the possibility of including future park maintenance costs into landscape maintenance districts. In isolated subdivisions such as this, he did not believe it would be inappropriate for the landscape maintenance district to encompass park maintenance. Because of the park's benefits to both the subdivision and the City, he urged Council to give careful consideration to his request. 14 12/15/92 Council Member Anderson asked if Mr. Mygrant would object to including park maintenance costs into his subdivision's landscape maintenance district. Mr. Mygrant did not know what the exact costs would be at this time but indicated it was something that he would consider. Assistant City Manager McMurry was of the opinion that it is permissible to utilize a landscape maintenance district to maintain a park as well as a permanent landscape. Because the formation of the district is not required until after Certificates of Occupancy are issued, he indicated that staff would have time to work with Mr. Mygrant and determine if it would be appropriate to include the park maintenance costs into the district. Mayor Moss explained that neighborhood parks have been an integral part of the City's General Plan and planning process for many years. Rather than eliminating the neighborhood park concept, he preferred to consider alternate ways of financing the maintenance of these parks which are used extensively and add value to the subdivisions. He agreed that the inclusion of park maintenance in the landscape maintenance district seemed a logical extension of the landscape maintenance district and favored giving it further consideration. Mayor Moss determined there were no additional individuals wishing to speak on the matter and closed the public hearing. Council Member Arness opined that the City has an obligation to develop the two remaining park sites in Lake Redding Estates. Although Mr. Mygrant's offer is good, he expressed concern with the amount of money the City would be taking away from other areas which have been waiting for park development. Council Member Dahl stated that if Council were to make the inclusion of park maintenance costs in the landscape maintenance district a condition of approval, the City would be assured of a source of funding. If it is later determined that the condition is not feasible, Council could then change the conditions. He stressed the importance of finding a source of funding to maintain the park after the contractor's two year maintenance period had expired. In response to Council Member Anderson's question whether making the inclusion of park maintenance costs in the landscape maintenance district a condition of approval would delay the project, Mr. Perry indicated it would be Mr. Mygrant's decision whether he proceeds.

The CHAS is a comprehensive planning document which identifies a jurisdiction's overall needs for affordable and supportive housing and outlines a strategy to address those needs. The Act also requires that a jurisdiction that submitted a full five-year CHAS for the Federal Fiscal Year 1992 must submit an annual plan that is based upon its five-year strategy. The City Council approved Redding's CHAS on March 3, 1992, which was subsequently approved by HUD on April 27, 1992. In preparation for the development of the CHAS annual plan, City housing staff and several local agencies responsible for the development and provision of affordable housing were contacted to discuss their affordable housing goals for the next year. The Community Development Advisory Committee reviewed the CHAS Annual Report at a public meeting on December 2, 1992. It was the recommendation of the Committee to approve the document as submitted. It is the recommendation of the Community Development Advisory Committee and staff that after the conclusion of the public hearing, that Council adopt the draft CHAS Annual Plan. Mayor Moss determined there was no one present wishing to speak on the matter and closed the public hearing. MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member Dahl, that the City of Redding Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy Annual Plan for Federal Fiscal Year 1993 be adopted.

MID-YEAR BUDGET WORKSHOP (B-130-070) City Manager Christofferson recommended that Council designate Wednesday, January 20, 1993, at 1:00 p.m. for its Mid-Year Budget Workshop. It was the consensus of Council to hold its Mid-Year Budget Workshop at 1:00 p.m., January 20, 1993 in Room 125 of the Redding Convention Center. RESOLUTION - Various Mid-Year Budget Adjustments * (B-130-070 & P-100-050-050 & S-070-200 & D-050) Assistant Finance Director Sundin explained that several mid-year budget adjustments are necessary in order to align budgeted expenditures with actual expenditures. Adjustments are as follows: 1) $178,000.00 representing the Redding Fire Fighters Association's 5.8 percent cost-of-living adjustment in July, 1992; 2) $201,300.00 representing funding for the Storm Drain and Street Sweeping Programs for the last six months of fiscal year 1992-93; and 3) $88,350.00 reflecting the actual costs of three long-term capital lease payments which were overlooked during the budget process. These adjustments represent a total appropriation of $467,650.00 from the General Fund, thereby reducing the projected General Fund cash balance from approximately $1,600,000.00 to approximately $1,100,000.00. It is the recommendation of staff that Council adopt a resolution appropriating $467,650.00 from the General Fund. In response to Council Member Arness, Ms. Sundin related that the remaining balance of $1,100,000.00 includes the three percent reserve. City Manager Christofferson interjected that the hiring freeze has resulted in a savings of approximately $100,000.00 to date and is not reflected in the remaining balance. Council Member Anderson stated he would like to end the current fiscal year with the three percent reserve. Mr. Christofferson explained that this was the last opportunity for Council to consider this item as the storm drain and street sweeping funding runs out on January 1, 1993. If Council were to decline the appropriation, staff would need to begin plans to cease that particular operation. The only other pending appropriation that staff is aware of at this time relates to the maintenance of the Downtown Mall, which on a worst case basis would be approximately $150,000.00. Mayor Moss concurred that the City needs to maintain as large of a reserve as possible, however, there are certain items such as street and storm drain maintenance which the City has to perform. 17 12/15/92 In response to Council Member Dahl, Ms. Sundin stated that the sales tax revenues which are coming in above the 1992-93 projections are not included in the remaining balance figure. Council Member Dahl explained that Council was aware when it approved the budget that if the Redding Fire Fighters Association did not forego their cost-of-living increases as provided for in their Memorandum of Understanding, additional monies would need to be appropriated. MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member Dahl, that Resolution No. 92-496 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding appropriating $467,650.00 for mid-year budget adjustments as follows: $178,000.00 - Redding Fire Fighters Association's 5.8 percent cost- of-living adjustment in July, 1992; $201,300.00 - Storm Drain and Street Sweeping Programs funding for the last six months of fiscal year 1992-93; $88,350.00 - actual costs of three long-term capital lease payments which were overlooked during the budget process. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Anderson, Arness, Dahl, Kehoe and Moss Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 92-496 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. RESOLUTION - Establishing Funds Previously Set Aside for Plans and Specifications for Proposed Corporation Yard RESOLUTION - Approving Contract with Dreyfuss and Blackford to Prepare Plans and Specifications for Corporation Yard * (B-130-070 & C-050-100-040) Assistant Finance Director Sundin recalled that Council, at its meeting of December 1, 1992, directed staff to develop plans and specifications for the proposed corporation yard on Viking Way. As a follow-up to that action, it is now necessary to appropriate funds which were previously set aside by Council for the corporation yard and adopt a resolution authorizing the execution of a contract with Dreyfuss and Blackford for the preparation of plans and specifications. It is the recommendation of staff that Council adopt the necessary resolutions appropriating the necessary funds and authorizing the contract with Dreyfuss and Blackford. Based on recent conversations with staff, Council Member Arness was reminded that in March 1992 the Civic Center account made a $267,000.00 loan to the Corporation Yard account. He expressed a desire for the City's records to reflect that the Enterprise Funds loaned these monies to the General Fund. City Manager Christofferson replied that staff views these loans as advances to the project. At such time as the grant question is answered, staff can then determine the residual amount of funding required, if any, and these loans would be repaid through the project's financing. 18 12/15/92 Ms. Sundin stated that the following loans have been made to the Corporation Yard project: 1) Civic Center project has loaned the project $267,000.00; 2) The Capital Project Funds has loaned the project $360,000.00; and the Electric Fund made a loan for the acquisition of property in the approximate amount of $200,000.00 to $300,000.00. Council Member Dahl inquired how much of the monies in the Corporation Yard and Civic Center accounts were derived from the General Fund. Ms. Sundin replied that a portion of the loan from the Civic Center Project was derived from General Fund departments. She added that if the Capital Project monies were not in a separate capital project fund, it could be placed in the General Fund. If both the Corporation Yard and Civic Center projects were to be abandoned, Council Member Dahl inquired how much money could be reimbursed to the General Fund. He does not see funds being available to construct the Corporation Yard in the near future, therefore, views it as a risk. He noted that by maintaining these frozen funds, the City has some flexibility to utilize these funds to assist in balancing next fiscal year's budget. Ms. Sundin related that if the Corporation Yard project were abandoned, any monies in the fund would be utilized as a source of repayment for outstanding loans and the General Fund would probably not realize any monies. If the Civic Center project were abandoned, net proceeds to the General Fund would be approximately $150,000.00. Mr. Christofferson interjected that at no point has staff assumed that Council would abandon these projects and it would take some time to determine exactly how much money would be reimbursed to the General Fund, etc. Within the City's financial constraints, Mayor Moss favored proceeding with the plans for the Corporation Yard as considerable time and money has already been spent on the project. This would also place the City in a position of being able to take advantage of President Elect Clinton's plan should it encompass infrastructure projects. MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member Anderson, that Resolution No. 92-497 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving and adopting the 32nd amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 92-306 appropriating $600,000.00 for plans and specifications for the proposed corporation yard.

MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member Anderson, that Resolution No. 92-498 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving and authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract with Dreyfuss and Blackford to prepare the plans and specifications for the proposed corporation yard, based on a 6.5 percent architect's fee. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Anderson, Arness, Kehoe and Moss Noes: Council Members - Dahl Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 92-498 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. ORDINANCE - re Rezoning Application RZ-17-90, by Azi Barzin (North of Highway 299 East and Collyer Drive and west of Twin Towers Drive) (L-010-230) Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that Council approved Rezoning Application RZ-17-90 in concept and directed staff to submit an ordinance after the final map was recorded. As the final map for Dunfries Subdivision was recorded in June 1992, it is the recommendation of staff that Council offer the ordinance for first reading. 19 12/15/92 Council Member Arness offered Ordinance No. 2036 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Section 18.06.020 of the Redding Municipal Code relating to the rezoning of certain real property in the City of Redding to "R2-B15-F" Duplex Residential District with Site Plan Review (RZ-17-90). ORDINANCE - re Rezoning Application RZ-17-92, by Harry Hirst (2770 Pioneer Drive) (L-010-230) Planning and Community Development Director Perry related that Council, at its meeting of November 3, 1992, conceptually approved Rezoning Application RZ-17- 92, by Harry Hirst. The request reclassifies the property located at 2770 Pioneer Drive from "R3-15-B1" Multiple-Family Residential District to "R4-25- B1" Multiple-Family District. It is the recommendation of staff that Council offer the ordinance for first reading. Council Member Anderson offered Ordinance No. 2037 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Section 18.06.020 of the Redding Municipal Code relating to the rezoning of certain real property in the City of Redding to "R4-25-B1" Multiple-Family Residential District with minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet (RZ-17-92). CORPORATION YARD CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS (C-050-100-040) Planning and Community Development Director Perry highlighted the Report to City Council dated December 8, 1992, incorporated herein by reference, which provided a summary of the recommended corporation yard budget adjustments. In short, the Builders Exchange recommended a budget reduction of approximately $3,280,000.00 and the architect recommended a reduction of $2,700,000.00. Differences between the two are based on what the architect feels is achievable and disagreement on how much will actually be saved. In either case, the bottom line will be the project's design and actual bid. Mr. Perry explained that in order to revise the project, staff met with the architect to get an understanding of the suggested changes. In summary, staff recommends that the following occur: 1) That the budget for the project be reduced by $1,580,000.00; and 2) That deductive alternates be designed in the amount of $868,000.00. Two reasons for using deductive alternates is that if the City were fortunate enough to obtain grant funding for the project, it would be desirable to obtain a better project if circumstances permit and allow some choices in the project once the actual bid costs are known in order to get the best overall project for the City. It is the recommendation of staff that Council authorize the architectural services be obtained generally as per the proposal included in the Report to City Council, modify the project budget as recommended by staff using a combination of reductions and deductive alternates and direct staff to proceed with the completion of the civil engineering which was previously authorized but put on hold. Council Member Anderson favored changing the bidding process to bid the Builder's Exchange version with add ons, rather than the full scale version with deductions. Conversations with contractors indicate that the City would probably receive a lower bid if add ons, rather than deductions were utilized. Council Member Arness was leary of being too frugal, as that posture could result in a final product which does not meet the City's needs. He concurred with bidding the project with add ons versus deductions but wanted to maintain the flexibility of selecting certain add ons without having to go through a sequential elimination process. MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, authorizing architectural services be based on the lower construction cost version, $11,236,466.00, with selective add ons, $868,000.00, and directing staff to proceed with the completion of the civil engineering. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Anderson, Arness, Kehoe and Moss Noes: Council Members - Dahl Absent: Council Members - None 20 12/15/92 REQUESTS FOR PROPOSAL - re Engineering Services Contract for the Solid Waste Transfer Station/Materials Recovery Facility (S-020-650) General Services Director Masingale related that requests for proposal have been distributed to various consultants. These requests will be utilized to select a consultant who will be responsible for the following: 1) Review the project to determine the basic parameters for the facility and the off-site work and to develop the details of the major components of the facility as well as the layout of both the on-site and off-site work; 2) Perform the preliminary design of the project, prepare a tentative site plan, prepare a preliminary plan/profile of the off-site utilities, and prepare a facilities equipment layout; 3) Prepare construction drawings and contract documents; 4) Assist during the bidding period; and 5) Provide engineering services during construction. Mr. Masingale explained that after the requests are received, staff will select those firms which are considered the most qualified for oral interviews which are tentatively scheduled for January 12, 1993. Mr. Masingale stated that the purpose of this item is to provide Council an opportunity to select one of its members to sit on the selection committee. Council Member Kehoe expressed concern about a Council Member making a decision with regard to technical aspects of a project. As an alternative, he recommended that Council appoint a community member to serve on the Committee. Mayor Moss and Mr. Masingale both indicated that if Council desired, a community member could also serve on the Committee. City Manager Christofferson clarified that this is not a requirement, but staff is merely providing Council with an opportunity to participate in the process. Council Member Dahl commented that approximately five or six years ago, Council wanted to become more involved and asked to be part of committees such as this. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Anderson, selecting Council Member Arness to sit on the Selection Committee for selecting the most qualified consultant to perform engineering services for the Solid Waste Transfer Station/Materials Recovery Facility. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Anderson, Arness, Dahl and Moss Noes: Council Members - Kehoe Absent: Council Members - None SHASCADE COMMUNITY SERVICES ADULT DAY/HEALTH CARE CENTER (B-080-650) Council Member Kehoe abstained from discussion and voting on this matter due to being a member of the Shascade Adult Care Advisory Council. Recreation and Parks Director Riley explained that Shascade Community Services has requested the City to appoint a representative from the Recreation and Parks Department to the Bessie Kay Center Special Board of Directors which will oversee the operation of the Shascade Community Services Adult Day/Health Care Center. Mr. Riley stated that the relationship between Shascade Community Services and the Recreation and Parks Department has been very positive. Because of Recreation Superintendent Sherer's past experience as a member of the Shascade Community Services Board of Directors, staff recommends that he be appointed to the proposed governing Board of the Directors of the Adult Day Health Care Center. MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member Arness, appointing Recreation Superintendent Stan Sherer as the City's representative to the proposed governing Board of the Directors of the Shascade Community Adult Day/Health Care Center. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Anderson, Arness, Dahl and Moss 21 12/15/92 Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Abstain: Council Members - Kehoe ACCEPTANCE OF FINAL MAP - Stillwater Heights Subdivision, Unit 1 (S-11-91) (East of Old Oregon Trail on the south side of Old 44 Drive) (S-100-706-300) Assistant City Engineer Aasen stated that the developer, Eckelman & Scarbrough, has submitted all required data which has been checked and approved by the various City departments, signed a subdivision agreement, and submitted approved security in the amount of $750,000.00. The developer has also been informed that no occupancy permits will be granted for residences constructed on the lots until all subdivision improvements have been completed and accepted. It is the recommendation of staff that Council approve the final map, authorize the Mayor to sign the Subdivision Agreement, and instruct the City Clerk to file the map with the Shasta County Recorder. MOTION: Made by Council Member Arness, seconded by Council Member Anderson, approving the Final Map for Stillwater Heights Subdivision, Unit 1, authorizing the Mayor to sign the subdivision agreement, and instructing the City Clerk to file the map with the Shasta County Recorder.
