PUBLIC HEARING
- re Planned Development PD-1-93, Rivertrail Commons, by
Rivertrail Commons Partnership (2125 Park Marina Drive)
(L-010-211-001)
The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Arness opened the public hearing
regarding Planned Development PD-1-93.
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 April 28, 1993
City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no protests were received.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed the Report to City
Council dated April 28, 1993, incorporated herein by reference, which outlined
the Planning Commission's recommendation concerning Planned Development
Application PD-1-93, Rivertrail Commons, by the Rivertrail Commons
Partnership.
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that Council
ratify the Negative Declaration, offer the ordinance for first reading which
rezones the property from "U" Unclassified District to "PD" Planned
Development District subject to the list of conditions noted, approve the
tentative map for PD-1-93 for merger and resubdivision subject to the list of
conditions noted, find that none of the conditions listed as (a) through (g)
in State of California Government Code Section 66474 exists with regard to the
proposed subdivision and that the subdivision is consistent with the Redding
General Plan and applicable specific plans and adopt the noted site plan and
architectural theme for PD-1-93. It is further recommended that Council waive
the requirements for recreational vehicle parking and approve the floating
dock on Motel Lake.
In response to Council Member Moss, Mr. Perry noted that the City's only way
of really monitoring the types of businesses which locate in a facility is
through the business licensing program.
Jerry Knighten, owner of the property which splits the lake with the subject
development, was pleased to see development occur which is commensurate with
the quality of the property and recommended the project's approval. He
expressed concern, however, with the following areas: 1) The construction of
a trail across the lake and the associated liability; and 2) Provision of
ingress and egress for the existing units located north of Mr. Knighten's
project.
Gary Anthis, representing Rivertrail Commons Partnership, stated that there
would be no objection to a provision requiring the partnership to monitor the
types of businesses located within the development. He acknowledged that in
1977, there was an agreement whereby the 12 homes on the peninsula would
utilize the subject property for access to their homes once it was developed.
He noted that the plans provide for this and the subject homeowners have been
notified.
Mayor Arness determined that there were no additional individuals wishing to
speak on the matter and closed the public hearing.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Moss,
that Council make the following findings regarding Planned Development PD-1-
93:
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;
15

California; and ratify the Negative Declaration authorized by the Board of
Administrative Review on February 10, 1993. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Moss, to
approve the tentative map for PD-1-93 for merger and resubdivision subject to
the list of conditions noted in the Report to City Council dated April 28,

PUBLIC HEARING - re General Plan Amendment Application GPA-2-93, by Shasta
Blood Center (1111 Old Alturas Road)
(G-030-010)
The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Arness opened the public hearing
regarding GPA-2-93.
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 April 28, 1993
City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no protests were received.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry explained that the Shasta
Blood Center has requested an amendment of the General Plan from "Residential,
9.0 units per acre" to "Office/Residential" on property located at the
southeast corner of Old Alturas Road and Bradford Way. The existing General
Plan designation does not allow an office or a medical facility, which most
closely describes the proposed use, a blood donation center.
Mr. Perry related that it is the Planning Commission's opinion that the
"Office/Residential" General Plan classification is reasonable for this
location, and the proposed blood donation center would be a compatible use in
this area. A use such as this would provide a good transitional use between
the existing commercial and multiple-family uses surrounding the property.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council ratify the Negative
Declaration, approve the amendment in concept subject to an agreement, and
authorize the Mayor to sign an agreement that would revert the property to
"Residential" if the Blood Center does not develop within three years.
Peggy Kesterson, 1126 Old Alturas Way, questioned where the facility's
driveways would be located.
Mr. Perry conveyed that the project would be built in essentially two phases.
The blood center will be constructed in the first phase and the second phase
comprises an office addition adjacent to the center. The second phase
requires access from Browning Street. As a condition of approval of the Use
Permit, the Blood Center is obligated to dedicate right-of-way along Old
Alturas Road and improve Old Alturas Road and Bradford Way along its street
frontage. He said that there would be no entrances or exits opposite Ms.
Kesterson's property.
Mayor Arness determined that there were no additional individuals wishing to
speak on the matter and closed the public hearing.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member Anderson,
that Council make the following findings regarding General Plan Amendment
Application GPA-2-93:
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 17, 1993. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member Anderson,
approving General Plan Amendment Application GPA-2-93 in concept, amending the
General Plan to "Office/Residential," subject to an agreement which would
revert the property to "Residential" if the Blood Center does not develop
within three years, and authorizing the Mayor to sign said agreement. The
Vote: Unanimous Ayes
PUBLIC HEARING
- re General Plan Amendment Application GPA-6-92, by Don Enloe
(1391 Hartnell Avenue)
(G-030-010)
The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived Mayor Arness opened the public hearing
regarding General Plan Amendment Application GPA-6-92.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
17
05/04/93
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Planning Commission recommendation dated April 28, 1993
City Clerk Strohmayer advised that a letter had been received from John
Elmore, incorporated herein by reference, citing nine reasons of opposition to
the amendment application.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that the Planning
Commission, at its meeting of July 28, 1992, recommended approval of a request
to amend the General Plan from "Residential, 9.0 units per acre" to "Service
Commercial" on property located at 1391 Hartnell Avenue. Subsequent to the
Planning Commission's hearing, the applicant requested that this item be
continued indefinitely. Staff recently received a letter from the property
owner requesting that the item be placed back on the agenda.
Mr. Perry related that the site has been the location of a vehicle-dismantling
business before and after its annexation to the City in 1976. The business
has held a legal, nonconforming status as a dismantling yard since that time.
Mr. Perry stated that in addition to an existing overhead electrical
transmission line, Little Churn Creek channel runs through the southwest
portion of the parcel creating approximately 1.5 acres of undevelopable area.
A mobilehome park is located on the east side of the parcel, and auto repair
and miscellaneous commercial activities are located on the north and to the
west.
The Planning Commission recommended that the "Service Commercial" area should
be extended to the south no farther than the existing ministorage facility or
approximately 650 feet south of Hartnell Avenue at a point where the Little
Churn Creek channel enters the westerly property line. Given the fact that
subsequent to the Planning Commission's recommendation, the applicant
continued the application to assert the right to reestablish the wrecking yard
on the entire property, it is the recommendation of staff that the application
be referred back to the Planning Commission for reconsideration.
Leonard Wingate, representing the property owners, related that the previous
staff reports to both the Planning Commission and Council did not indicate
that a non-conforming use for a wrecking yard would not exist; therefore, he
did not believe it necessary to refer the issue back to the Planning
Commission. He noted that it has been suggested that the "Service Commercial"
designation be moved farther north from the bend of Little Churn Creek. He
stated that the property owners are willing to accept a compromise that makes
planning sense and protects the surrounding residential areas. In his
opinion, the change in classification would allow property owners to know what
future developments can occur on the property, and the retention of the
wrecking yard is strictly a financial necessity until the time is right to
develop the property to its highest and best use. Mr. Wingate recommended
that Council approve the amendment using a line for "Service Commercial" at
some point between 650 feet to 730 feet north of the bend of Little Churn
Creek.
In response to Council Member Arness, Mr. Perry indicated that the General
Plan Amendment would be applicable to approximately six acres, thereby,
leaving approximately four acres classified as "Multiple Family" and
floodplain. If the wrecking yard ceases to exist for six months, it would no
longer be considered grandfathered. He related that in order to retain the
wrecking yard status, the following must be maintained: one to three cars on
the premises, a valid dismantlers permit and a City business license.
John Elmore, owner of Enterprise Mobilehome Park, related the problems the
mobilehome park has experienced with the adjoining wrecking yard, i.e., people
jumping the fence, parts being thrown over the fence to be retrieved at a
later time, snakes, ground squirrels, mosquitos, etc. He felt that if the
wrecking yard is allowed to be retained that Council should consider the
possibility of requiring some type of fence which would prevent some of the
problems noted.
In response to Council Member Anderson, Mr. Perry explained that Council
cannot require a fence unless a discretionary act is requested.
18
05/04/93
Mayor Arness determined that there were no additional individuals wishing to
speak on the matter and closed the public hearing.
Mr. Perry did not recommend denial of this amendment, as it represents a
positive step for both the City and the property owners. Instead, he
recommended that the matter be referred back to the Planning Commission as
both the City and property owners need to have the ability to understand what
is going to occur if the general plan amendment application is approved.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member Anderson, to
refer General Plan Amendment Application GPA-6-92, by Don Enloe, back to the
Planning Commission for reconsideration. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
AWARD OF BID
- Bid Schedule No. 2761, Furnishing Photocopy Equipment
(B-050-100 & A-070-090)
Assistant City Manager McMurry explained that the low bid received on Bid
Schedule No. 2761, furnishing photocopy equipment, was from Ray Morgan Company
(Canon) with an evaluated total of $73,426.46. Xerox Corporation supplied the
second low bid in the amount of $74,236.32. The evaluated total is for the
contract period of 36 months and includes lease, maintenance and projected
supply costs for seven photocopier machines.
Mr. McMurry related that in compliance with the City's procurement policy,
staff proceeded with a comprehensive evaluation and field examination of both
the Canon and Xerox equipment. As documented in the evaluation provided in
the Report to City Council dated April 27, 1993, incorporated herein by
reference, the Canon equipment provided excellent print quality and desirable
features. However, deviations from bid requirements for the high volume
machine were considered significant and cause for elimination from
consideration. Even though the smaller Canon equipment did meet the
requirements, it is the intent of the procurement policy to maintain
uniformity of all equipment for ease in operator usage, maintenance and for
maximum cost savings through bulk supply purchasing.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council award the bid to Xerox
Corporation in the amount of $74,236.32.
Council Member Kehoe questioned whether there would be a conflict of interest
associated with awarding this bid schedule to the local Xerox Corporation
owned by Kelly Combs, Chairman of the City's Planning Commission.
City Attorney Hays related that there are no provisions which prohibit the
City from conducting business with one of its commissioners. The only
provisions which exist are located in the Government Code and only apply to
Council.
Randy Yurgenson, representing Ray Morgan Company, opined that the Report to
City Council addresses some issues which are not fair toward Ray Morgan
Company as far as the proposed equipment. He acknowledged that part of the
problem stems from a letter issued by Ray Morgan Company to the City which
indicated that the equipment proposed for the Police Department would not fit
into the room. He stated that he would like to recant that letter and
apologize to the City as the equipment will, in fact, fit into the existing
room configuration. He noted that the proposed Xerox equipment proposed for
the Police Department is unknown and currently unaccepted by the State of
California. In addition, the Xerox equipment may be substituted with
remanufactured equipment at Xerox's discretion. He stated that both times the
equipment was bid, Ray Morgan Company was the low bidder. Ray Morgan Company
is locally owned, with most of its money retained locally, versus Xerox
corporation which is a franchise. He requested that if the bid is awarded to
Xerox that Ray Morgan Company be given the opportunity to respond to future
proposals.
Mayor Arness assured Mr. Yurgenson that Ray Morgan Company would be allowed to
participate in future bid proposals.
Mr. McMurry related that the evaluation of the photocopier equipment was very
thorough, and staff's position remains that the bid should be awarded to Xerox
Corporation. He also assured Council that Ray Morgan Company would have an
opportunity to respond to future proposals.
19
05/04/93
Council Member Anderson questioned whether the Request for Proposals (RFP)
allowed for remanufactured equipment by the City.
Purchasing Officer Roberts related that the RFP provides for evaluation of the
equipment.
Records Supervisor Morgan commented that staff contacted the State regarding
its list of accepted equipment models and found that the State is currently in
the process of reevaluating all new models.
In response to Mayor Arness, Ms. Morgan indicated that the guarantee for the
remanufactured equipment is as good as that of new equipment.
Council Member Anderson questioned why the equipment had to be bid twice. Ms.
Morgan replied that the first proposal included specifications for eleven
copiers. However, after the Finance Department reviewed the contracts, it was
revealed that two photocopiers had longer contracts than originally
anticipated. Therefore, because of the deviation, the equipment was rebid.
In response to Council Member Kehoe, Mr. McMurry believed there were still
significant deviations with regard to the Canon equipment, i.e., integrated
finishers, paper weights, form feeders, etc.
Mr. Yurgenson commented that the State of California considers Canon's
equipment, as bid, to meet the needs of an integrated finisher. Mr. Yurgenson
offered to place the Canon equipment in the Police Department for a trial
period to determine if it meets the City's needs and whether the deviations
are still considered significant.
City Attorney Hays cautioned that Mr. Yurgenson's suggestion represents a
modification of the original bid submitted.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member Moss, to
award Bid Schedule No. 2761, furnishing photocopy machines, to Xerox
Corporation, in the amount of $74,236.32. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT
(B-130-070)
Council Member Anderson felt it appropriate to discuss certain items on the
Monthly Financial Report given the time remaining in the current fiscal year.
He questioned the status of the City's Sales Tax revenue for the current
fiscal year, and noted that it appeared to be approximately $309,000.00 below
budget.
Budget Services Officer Starman replied that the Sales Tax figure is accurate
and represents the reconciliation by the State Board of Equalization for the
4th quarter of calendar year 1992, which was significantly below staff's
original expectations of $1,100,000.00.
In response to Council Member Anderson, Mr. Starman projected the fiscal year
1992-93 figures to remain flat relative to fiscal year 1991-92. He noted that
the next critical month would be mid-June when the reconciliation is received
from the State Board of Equalization for the 1st quarter of calendar year
1993. Regarding the ambulance fees, he related that the revenue has been
received,
however, due to programming difficulties, the information is shown in two
different places in the report.
Council Member Anderson noted that overall personnel charges appear to be in
line and questioned the overall status of the budget.
Mr. Starman stated that the fiscal year 1992-93 budget should close with a
reserve of approximately two to two and one-half percent.
Mayor Arness commented that it is important to review this report periodically
and keep the public informed as to the City's financial status.
This item was informational only and required no action.
REORGANIZATION OF FINANCE DEPARTMENT
(A-050-135)
20
05/04/93
Finance Director Downing provided an overview of the Report to City Council
dated April 29, 1993, incorporated herein by reference, regarding the loss of
personnel within the Finance Department. Wherever possible, responsibilities
have been reassigned to existing staff. It is not possible, however, to
reassign responsibility for all tasks performed by all employees in positions
which have been lost over the last year: five full-time and four part-time
employees. This represents a loss of 29 percent of staff since the inception
of the hiring freeze, 7.0 out of 24.5 full-time equivalents.
Ms. Downing reviewed the possible associated ramifications if the additional
personnel is not authorized, i.e., not meeting the single audit requirements,
loss of Federal funding, not meeting lease and bond covenants, no payroll
back-up, payment of routine monthly bills delayed as long as 30 days, payment
of construction payments not made within 10 day deadline, etc.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council authorize the Finance
Department to take the following action: 1) Replace one Accountant to assume
Redding Redevelopment Agency, Housing Authority, Community Development Block
Grant, and Redding Area Bus Authority accounting functions; 2) Hire one new
Accountant to provide accounting services for Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste,
Airports, and Convention and Tourism Enterprises Funds; 3) Replace one Senior
Account Clerk and one Intermediate Account Clerk to process Accounts Payable,
Construction Contract Payables, and Transient Occupancy Tax receivables,
Payroll back-up, and parking citations. The fiscal impact of this would be a
$50,000.00 allocation to the Enterprise Funds and would result in zero impact
upon the General Fund.
In response to Council Member Anderson, Ms. Downing related that the longest
an individual has been on maturity leave in the Finance Department was three
months. She noted that one part-time employee has been off one week and due
to the workload demand, staff has agreed to let her perform part-time work at
home. She commented that part-time work schedules afford more flexibility
than full-time schedules.
Council Member Moss acknowledged that the hiring freeze has fallen too heavily
upon the Finance Department. He concurred that additional staffing is
required and the City cannot afford to have work backlogged within this
particular department. However, he was not in favor of approving staff's
specific recommendation but perhaps a portion thereof. He noted that it may
be an additional nine months until firm information is known about the State's
budget, and the only fund currently suffering is the General Fund.
Council Member Kehoe stated that a very compelling case has been made for some
of these positions, however, he felt it more effective to consider positions
on an overall basis and not on a departmental or incremental basis. He
favored deferring the matter and considering the request with the overall
budget for fiscal year 1993-94. He indicated that if the City is forced to
drastically curtail operations, it is not sensible to hire people and later
lay them off when State funding is withdrawn. He opined that it was Council's
intent to relieve some members of the Finance Department from the labor
negotiations responsibility, thereby allowing them more time to perform
finance-related tasks.
Council Member Anderson was inclined to discuss the minimum number of
individuals currently required and address the remainder during budget study
deliberations.
Council Member Kehoe preferred to consider those positions which were not
dependent upon General Fund monies. Ms. Downing replied that only the two
Accountant positions are directly related to Enterprise Fund activities.
In response to Council Member Anderson, Ms. Downing related that while the
Assistant Finance Director is not currently involved in labor relations
activities, any time savings has been reallocated to nine new long-term debt
financings. She noted that the Assistant Finance Director would still be
involved in providing support to labor negotiations through mathematical
scenarios.
In response to Mayor Arness, Ms. Downing clarified that she is requesting four
full-time positions, two funded either through the Enterprise Funds or through
special revenue funds.
21
05/04/93
Council Member Moss inquired as to recommendation's total impact on the
General Fund.
Ms. Downing replied that the total impact on the General Fund for a full
fiscal year would be approximately $55,000.00.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Moss,
approving the filling of three full-time positions within the Finance
Department. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Anderson clarified that he specifically left to the discretion
of the Finance Director which positions were to be filled.
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT - TRANSITION PLAN
(L-040-070-040)
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recalled that Council
appointed the Assistant City Manager as the responsible employee with regard
to the Americans with Disabilities Act (Act). He stated that the Building
Department, in cooperation with other departments, has prepared the required
Transition Plan, as indicated in the Report to City Council dated April 21,
1993, incorporated herein by reference.
Mr. Perry explained that the Transition Plan is a statement by the City that
it intends to comply with the Act, is a work plan for the City to use in
meeting the needs of the disabled population and to remove barriers to their
enjoyment and participation in the community, and can be a test to judge the
progress of the City in retrofitting itself to comply with the Act.
Mr. Perry said that the approximate cost for the City to comply with the Act
in current dollars is $1,500,000.00 to $1,700,000.00. By January 26, 1995,
the City is supposed to complete the identified structural changes. By last
January, the City was to have modified its services, policies, and practices
to comply with the Act.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council adopt the Americans with
Disabilities Act - Transition Plan.
Council Member Anderson questioned where the required monies would be
obtained.
Mr. Perry stated that the City would have to budget this work over a longer
period of time than provided for by the Federal government. He cited
potential funding sources as the General Fund, Housing Authority, and
Community Development Block Grant program.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member Moss, to
accept the Americans with Disabilities Act - Transition Plan. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
ANIMAL PERMIT APPLICATION AP-2-93
- by Jim Harper (5654 Jubilee Street)
(A-130-140)
Principal Planner Keaney highlighted the Report to City Council dated April
28, 1993, incorporated herein by reference, which reviewed the request of Jim
Harper to maintain two llamas, one pony, and one donkey on property located at
5654 Jubilee Street. Mr. Harper is the owner of the subject parcel and lives
on an adjacent parcel. The animals' owner, Pam Lyerla, who is effectively the
"applicant," lives across the street from the lot on which the animals are
being kept.
Mr. Keaney explained that the Board of Administrative Review (BAR) considered
the subject application, at its meeting of April 7, 1993, and recommended that
two animals be allowed subject to nine conditions. The permit application was
then appealed by a neighbor to the City Manager who returned the permit
application to (BAR) for the following reasons: 1) The Board has made its
recommendation based upon incorrect information about the usable area of the
parcel; and 2) The City Manager felt that there should be some financial
incentive for the applicant to comply with the conditions of the permit. At
its meeting of April 21, 1993, the Board reconsidered the application and
recommended approval of a permit to only allow one animal subject to an
additional condition which provides financial incentive for the applicant to
comply with the conditions of the permit. BAR recommended only one animal
22
05/04/93
because the net usable area was determined only to be approximately 11,500
square feet.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council authorize the City Manager to
issue the permit providing for the keeping of one animal on the parcel subject
to the recommended conditions.
Robert Rehberg, representing Pam Lyerla, recommended that the City's code be
changed to eliminate the City Manager's role in the animal permit approval
process. He stated that the Board of Administrative Review has the task of
determining how animals fit into the urban context. He explained that the
animals in question are celebrities within their surrounding community and
have strong support. He said that the animals have been on the property as
long as eight years to as recently as two years. BAR minutes were referenced
which indicated that a neighbor appeared objecting to the animal permit and
testifying that there was substantial evidence of unsanitary conditions. Also
there was then an appeal made to the City Manager regarding BAR's decision.
He maintained the applicant was not privy to the unsanitary conditions
referenced or to the discussion regarding the appeal made to the City Manager.
Mr. Rehbert indicated that the County's formula for the number of animals
that can be kept on property is not appropriate when considering issues within
the City. He further stated
that the concern of the community should be considered foremost and not the
desires of one particular individual. He suggested the following
modifications: 1) Require fencing so that animals must be maintained at
least 75 feet from any dwelling, thereby increasing the grazing space by
approximately 1,300 square feet; 2) Approve permit for three animals as there
is no substantial evidence to support unsanitary conditions referenced; and 3)
This activity has been at this location for such a long time, that now is not
the time to require a $500.00 performance bond to be drawn against for
enforcement.
Sarah Bethoney, 4665 Harrison Avenue, has witnessed the Lyerla family's love
for their animals. In visiting the area, she did not find it to smell
offensive.
Paul Lichtl, 477 Wright Drive #A, concurred with Haven Humane Society's letter
regarding the cleanliness of the area. He noted that the one problem cited
has been corrected, however, the excrement is utilized by neighbors for
fertilizer. He explained that there has been animals located on the property
ever since its annexation in 1976 and questioned whether there is some
provision which might grandfather the usage. He related that these animals
are friends to the surrounding community, particularly the handicapped
individuals located across the street from the animals.
Jason Smith, 5639 Jubilee Street, testified that the area is cleaned regularly
and does not produce an offensive odor.
Bonita Wallace, 4772 Figtree Lane, related that her daughter, who wants to
become a doctor, witnessed the birth of the pony and it was a very special
event. She stated that the various types of animals located in the area are
part of the neighborhood.
Pam Lyerla, 5639 Jubilee, voiced her frustration with the process and the fact
that one person can take something so special away from her. She referenced
the various signatures and letters she has obtained in support of the animals.
She commented on the importance of these animals to the disabled residents
located across from the property.
In response to Council Member Moss, Ms. Lyerla stated that the horse has been
on the property for eight years, the pony and larger llama for six years, and
the baby llama for two years. The burro has been relocated to a neighbor's
property.
Kenneth Bronstad, 5716 Jubilee Street, presented Council with photographs
depicting the location of the animals and their excrement in relation to his
property line. He commented that most of the speakers do not live in the
area. He explained that in July, 1992, he spoke with Mr. Harper and Ms.
Lyerla about the odor and the fact that his fence was being destroyed. It was
not until January, 1993, after trying to work with the responsible parties,
that he filed a complaint with the City. His only reasoning for appealing
23
05/04/93
BAR's original decision was to point out that the plot map submitted
overstated the square footage. No one who signed the petition lives as close
and experiences the same odor and fly problems as he. Once the fence is
constructed, the only person who will be closer to these animals will be the
landowner. He disagreed on the length of time the animals have been on the
premises and objected to more than one animal on the premises.
In response to Council Member Anderson, Mr. Perry related that the permit
would be valid for two years, unless otherwise specified by Council. If there
are any transgressions from the Animal Permit, it may be brought back for
reconsideration.
Council Member Kehoe stated that there seems to be a difference of opinion as
to how long the animals have been on the property. There does seem, however,
to be support that the animals have been there a number of years. In
addition, there is a great deal of community support to maintain the status
quo, however, these individuals do not live adjacent to the animals. He
suggested issuing a permit for a limited period of time and have staff monitor
the situation to ensure that it is not a debilitating situation for the
immediate neighbor.
Council Members Kehoe and Anderson favored the elimination of Condition #10
concerning the posting of security.
Mayor Arness commented that staff's monitoring would occur during daylight
hours and, therefore, may not adequately address the fly situation.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Kehoe,
authorizing the City Manager to issue Animal Permit Application AP-2-93, by
Jim Harper, for three animals, with the condition that two of the animals are
not to be replaced, and eliminating Condition #10.

Ayes: Council Members - Anderson, Kehoe, and Moss

Airports Director Ruff recalled that Bruce R. Galloway gave notice that he
would vacate his leasehold and Rent-a-Car Concession Agreement and Permit
effective February 29, 1992. Mr. Galloway has since been attempting to secure
a buyer of
the franchise license he holds and one which would be acceptable to National
Car Rental Corporation (National). Vanessa Enterprises, Inc. has been found
acceptable by both Mr. Galloway and National. National has assured staff of
its acceptance and that the required transfer fees have been submitted.

RESOLUTION
- Appropriating Funds
RECOMMENDATION RE PROPOSED PAVEMENT OVERLAY PROGRAM
24
05/04/93
* (B-130-070 & G-100-070-100 & S-070-200)
Public Works Director Galusha related that the Public Works Department
proposes to advertise for bids for a pavement overlay project in the amount of
$385,000.00 prior to the end of this fiscal year. The funding for this
project comes from three sources: Federal Intermodal Surface Transportation
Efficiency Act (ISTEA) funds-$200,000.00, State/Local Partnership Program
funds (SLPP)-$85,000.00, and savings to the General Fund due to cross charges-
$100,000.00. This advertisement would allow the City to be eligible to
receive a percentage reimbursement under the SLPP if awarded prior to June 30,
1993.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council authorize staff to proceed with
the advertisement of an overlay project in the amount of $385,000.00 and adopt
the necessary budget resolution.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Kehoe,
that Resolution No. 93-195 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the
City of Redding approving and adopting the 63rd amendment to City Budget
Resolution No. 92-306 appropriating $385,000.00 for pavement overlay projects.

RESOLUTION
- Amending Executive Management Pay-for-Performance Salary Plan and
Establishing Cross Connection Control Specialist in Water Division
(P-100-320 & W-030)
Public Works Director Galusha explained that a Cross-Connection Control
Specialist is needed to assist the General Foreman of the Water Utility in the
job duties associated with the management and implementation of the cross-
connection control program. This position is necessary due to the increased
workload brought on by growth and the Water Utilities responsibility to
address the requirements for a Cross-Connection Control Program set forth in
the 1986 Safe Drinking Water Act. He provided Council with a copy of the
position's major duties and responsibilities.
Mr. Galusha stated that the position would be filled by a promotional
recruitment from within the department. Several personnel within the Water
Utility possess the necessary qualifications and certifications. When the new
position is successfully filled from within the Water Utility, the remaining
vacant position would be left unfilled and there would be no net change in the
personnel budget.
It is the recommendation of staff that the Executive Management Pay-for-
Performance Salary Plan be amended to include a Cross Connection Control
Specialist at the salary range of $2,393.00 to $3,365.00 per month.
Council Member Kehoe stressed the need for work force management planning and
noted that the recommendation did not contain any analysis. He related,
however, that in speaking with Public Works Operations Manager Russell that
the following additional information was obtained: 1) There are three
positions that are currently occupied by individuals which may apply for the
position; 2) The vacant position would not be filled; 3) The testing of
backflow devices would be contracted out; and 4) A five percent increase is
projected for the
individual filling the proposed position. He related that the recommendation
indicated no net change in the personnel budget.
Mr. Galusha replied that the statement that there would be no net change in
the personnel budget referred to the number of positions. He confirmed that a
five percent salary increase for the person selected for the position is
anticipated.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member Moss, that
Resolution No. 93-196 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City
25
05/04/93
of Redding rescinding Resolution No. 92-437 as of midnight, April 24, 1993,
and establishing a new Executive Management Pay-for-Performance Salary Plan

PUBLIC COMMENT
(P-150-150)
Kip Lee, 1055 Gilbert Street, Apt. 23, stated he personally opposes the cruise
and related that he has witnessed a dramatic decrease in cruise traffic the
past two weeks. He credited Beverly McNeely with the following suggestions
concerning activities for youth after the cruise ordinance becomes effective:
1) Create some type of task force to consider possible youth-oriented
activities; 2) Contact movie theater owners regarding free or reduced
admission to movies on Friday and Saturday nights; 3) Contact bowling alleys
regarding free bowling for youth; and 4) Reestablish the Teen Center. He
opined that the individuals who cruise do not want to be involved in organized
activities. He related that because of the lack of enthusiasm on the part of
the Recreation Superintendent regarding the aforementioned suggestions, he is
now bringing them before Council for consideration.
Mayor Arness thanked Mr. Lee and related that the comments would be referred
to staff for consideration.
