MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member Anderson, that all the foregoing items on the Consent Calendar be approved and adopted as recommended. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Anderson, Kehoe, Moss and Arness Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - Dahl Resolution Nos. 94-55, 94-56, 94-57, 94-58, 94-59 and 94-60 are on file in the office of the City Clerk. - - - - - - - - - PUBLIC HEARING - re General Plan Amendment Application GPA-10-93 and Rezoning Application RZ-20-93, by Roy E. Ladd, Inc. (1081 Wildwood Lane & 4050 Eureka Way) (G-030-010 & L-010-230) The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Arness opened the public hearing regarding GPA-10-93 and RZ-20-93. 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 March 8, 1994 City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no protests were received. Director of Planning and Community Development Perry reviewed the request to amend the General Plan from "Residential, 3.0 units per acre" and "Greenway" to "Office." The Commission also recommended that these properties be rezoned from "CO-B10" Office District and "R-1" Single-Family Residential District, respectively, to "U" Unclassified District. Mr. Perry explained that the applicant is requesting an amendment and zone change to enable the construction of a headquarters office building for Ladd, Inc., on the easterly half of the application area currently classified "Residential." The "Unclassified" zoning would require the applicant to obtain a use permit to develop the property and ensure that street improvements are provided at the intersection with the State Highway. 4 03/15/94 It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff to reclassify the property to "Office" and rezone the property to "Unclassified." Noting that development has been occurring in this area for several years and a traffic signal at Buenaventura Boulevard will be necessary someday, Council Member Moss asked if developers are helping to finance traffic signal improvements. Mr. Perry stated that the Sunset Plaza development has contributed to the traffic signal, Caltrans will contribute and the remainder of the cost will be from traffic impact fees. Council Member Moss asked if this development is too far away to contribute to the Buenaventura signal. Mr. Perry replied yes; however, there will be substantial work done at this intersection and they will pay a traffic impact fee, so they are contributing indirectly. Council Member Kehoe asked how the corporate headquarters would be designed to mitigate its impact on existing single-family residences east of this site. Mr. Perry explained that a low profile building with a residential style roof, appropriate orientation of windows and landscaping, coupled with suitable distance and setbacks will help mitigate the impact. Don Neptune, representing Ladd Construction, stated that a plan was developed for the whole site. The office portion is isolated with an access road around it and the setback is 30 feet from the nearest neighbor in the mobile home. It will be a single story building against that unit and a two-story unit will step back away from the single story. Mr. Neptune conveyed that the office will not generate traffic as it is a benign daytime use and a good use of space between the highway and residential area. Mayor Arness determined that there were no additional individuals present wishing to speak on the matter and closed the public hearing. Council Member Moss said he would support the commercial office designation along the remainder of Eureka Way because it is almost condemnation to zone it residential. MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, that Council make the following findings regarding General Plan Amendment GPA-10- 93 and Rezoning Application RZ-20-93: 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 January 12, 1994. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes. MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, directing staff to prepare a land use agreement for development of a corporate office on the property, prepare a resolution adopting the general plan amendment to "Office" and prepare an ordinance rezoning the property to "U" Unclassified. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING - re Tierra Oaks Assessment District No. 1993-1 (A-170-050-750) The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Arness opened the public information meeting regarding the Tierra Oaks Assessment District No. 1993-1. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk. Certificate of Mailing Consent and Waiver and Notice to Property Owners Director of Public Works Report to City Council dated March 9, 1994 City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no comments were received. Director of Public Works Galusha stated that this is a meeting to provide information and take input from property owners regarding the Tierra Oaks Assessment District. He conveyed that this is an acquisition assessment district and all property owners are in agreement with the proceedings. 5 03/15/94 Mayor Arness determined there was no one present who wished to speak and closed the public information meeting. No formal action was required by the City Council. ALARM SYSTEM - Further Consideration (B-050-100) Mayor Arness stated that pursuant to Council's direction of March 1, 1994, he and Council Member Moss met with Ken Schwartz of California Safety Company on March 8, 1994, to consider alarm system arrangements. Mayor Arness and Council Member Moss recommended that the City acquire its own alarm system and further recommended that a Request for Proposals for alarm equipment be solicited with some modifications to the existing system and the current provider be allowed to bid. Proposals would also be invited for the maintenance and monitoring function. MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, directing staff to prepare a Request for Proposals for alarm equipment needed by the City and permit California Safety Company to bid the existing equipment, plus modifications and invite proposals for the maintenance and monitoring functions. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes TRAVEL POLICY (A-050-010) City Manager Christofferson recalled that the Record Searchlight ran a two- part series on City travel practices which implied there may be something amiss in the City's travel policy. The City Manager's office then conducted a survey of travel policies of 60 California cities similar to Redding and determined that the City's policy is highly consistent with the policies of other California cities. Mr. Christofferson stated that if Council wishes to amend City policy, it could be considered during the budget process. Council Member Kehoe asked who approves out-of-state and out-of-country travel. Mr. Christofferson stated that the Finance Director does; and although it could be done on another basis, he is satisfied with this arrangement. Council Member Kehoe said he would like to see some involvement from the City Manager or City Council for out-of-country travel and perhaps City Manager involvement with out-of-state travel. Mr. Christofferson stated that this could be reviewed during the budget process. BOOKING FEES - City Position (P-150-150) City Manager Christofferson recalled that the City learned indirectly of a public hearing that was to be held before the Shasta County Board of Supervisors on March 1, 1994, relative to a sharp increase in the level of booking fees to be effective on March 1, 1994. The City registered its concern that the City Council did not have an opportunity to consider the matter and the hearing was carried over to April 5, 1994. After meeting with County representatives and the County's consultant from David M. Griffith and Associates, there are still three major outstanding issues, however, relating primarily to medical expense, the allocation of salaries, and overhead costs. Staff is continuing to work with the County to resolve these issues and is not in a position to make a definitive recommendation. Mr. Christofferson recommended that the City Council request that the County delay action beyond the April 5, 1994, date in order to afford a little more time for study of the situation and, pending the outcome of the study, take the further position that increases in the level of booking fees is inappropriate in any event taking into account the 95 percent revenue that counties have received from Proposition 172 compared with the revenue flowing to cities, which results in major windfalls of revenue that can be used in part to support whatever additional jail costs may be involved. 6 03/15/94 MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, to request that the Shasta County Board of Supervisors delay action on booking fees beyond the April 5, 1994, date in order to afford more time to review the situation and take the further position that increases in the level of booking fees is inappropriate in any event taking into account the 95 percent revenue that counties have received from Proposition 172 compared with the revenue flowing to cities, which results in major windfalls of revenue that can be used in part to support whatever additional jail costs may be involved. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes NEXRAD - Continued Consideration (A-090-100-935) City Manager Christofferson recalled that the City Council, at its meeting of March 1, 1994, directed staff to explore the possibility of a representative of the National Weather Service coming to Redding at the City's expense and locating a recognized expert who could assist in the presentation of the City's case, particularly with regard to radar capability. Congressman Wally Herger's chief of staff, John McGill, indicated that the budgetary situation for the Federal government was such that travel was extremely circumscribed and that the Washington representatives generally rely on regional officials to make such calls. Mr. Christofferson stated that since the decision on NEXRAD is not going to be made at the regional level, it would seem that discussion with a regional representative would not necessarily be productive. He also indicated that there is a Federal policy against reimbursement which is presumably predicated on the notion of an even playing field for all communities. Mr. Christofferson indicated that he had been in contact with Ralph Brown who was responsible for the development of the entire NEXRAD location plan under contract with SRI International of Menlo Park. He confirmed that with the present location system for NEXRAD installations, the north end of the Sacramento Valley would not be adequately served. He has indicated a willingness to serve as a consultant to the City. Bill Henning, a retired employee of the National Weather Service, may also be in a position to give the City some sound advice. CH2M Hill has indicated that their firm has individuals qualified in the area of radar and some related fields that might be helpful to the City. Taking all factors into account, Mr. Christofferson stated that the City Council may wish to consider establishing a task force composed of the various interests that are impacted by this decision to study the matter and develop some sort of consensus that can be carried to Washington by Congressmen Herger and Fazio. He conveyed that such a task force might be comprised of representatives from the following areas: a) agriculture; b) private sector; c) California Division of Forestry; d) Congressman Herger's office; e) Congressman Fazio's office; f) City Council; and g) Shasta County Board of Supervisors. He noted that staffing could be provided by the Director of Airports and/or the City Manager's office, and perhaps the City could draw upon Chris Fontana of the National Weather Service, Bill Henning, Ralph Brown, and perhaps CH2M Hill in consulting roles. Out of a series of several meetings of such a task force, the City could expect that a plan would emerge and then decisions could be made as to how to execute that plan and what resources might be needed. Council Member Kehoe recommended that representatives from the cities of Anderson and Shasta Lake be included on the task force. He also suggested that since this is a regional issue that some type of cost sharing arrangement be considered with the other affected governmental agencies if it is necessary to send representatives to Washington D.C. It was the consensus of the City Council for staff to form the recommended task force and to also include representatives from the cities of Anderson and Shasta Lake. REPRESENTATION ON AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD (E-020-010) City Manager Christofferson stated that AB75 requires that on July 1, 1994, the County's Air Pollution Control Board be reorganized to include City Council representation. The bill provides that in single-county districts, such as Shasta County with incorporated areas that have more than 50 percent of the county's population, half of the board membership be made up of mayors 7 03/15/94 or council members and the remaining half would be county supervisors. City representation on the board can be decided by a "city selection committee" as opposed to a joint city/county committee. It appears the most constructive course of action would be for the City Council to take the lead in convening appropriate representatives from the cities of Anderson and Shasta Lake and make some selection as to representation on the Air Pollution Control Board sometime within the next several months to ensure that City representation is in place well before the July 1 deadline. It was the consensus of the City Council that staff move forward with the formation of a "city selection committee." BLM ACQUISITION OF THE MICHIELS' PROPERTY - Inclusion of Surplus City Property on South Bonnyview Road (C-070-200 & C-070-010) Director of Planning and Community Development Perry recalled that the City Council directed staff to determine what the Department of Fish and Game was proposing in the way of an exchange of City property at the Stillwater Treatment Plant for the Wixon Ranch, if that would be acquired. Rich Elliott of the Department of Fish and Game (DFG) indicated that there was no formal proposal on the table and that the topic had been raised approximately two months ago as part of a dinner conversation on a "what if" scenario. Mr. Perry explained that the concept is essentially as follows: 1) The City would trade Bob Michiels his land on South Bonnyview Road for the land at the Stillwater Sewage Treatment Plant; 2) The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) or a public land trust would buy the land at the Stillwater Plant from Mr. Michiels; and 3) If BLM wants the land on the river, it would sell or trade other surplus land it owns to raise the capital to acquire it. This is, of course, contingent upon the City wanting to trade, Mr. Michiels wanting to trade, the relative value of the two properties, and BLM wanting to acquire the land. Mr. Perry stated that the DFG has concerns with the City developing a golf course at Stillwater and believes another location would be better. The one that came to mind since an effort was already being made to acquire river frontage was the Wixon Ranch on South Bonnyview Road. It is recommended that the City Council authorize the inclusion of the .63 acre parcel of City surplus property on South Bonnyview in the trade as requested by Mr. Michiels. This property adjoins other property already owned by Mr. Michiels and would allow the access road to the boat launch to be moved farther away from South Bonnyview Road. It is the recommendation of staff that Council authorize the City to obtain an appraisal on both Units 1 and 2 of Mr. Michiels' property at a cost not to exceed $5,000. Council Member Moss opined that the best location for the golf course is at the Stillwater property. Working with such organizations as the Audubon Society, the City can do an excellent job of protecting the riparian habitat. MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member Anderson, to direct staff to proceed with obtaining an appraisal on Units 1 and 2 of Bob Michiels' property at a cost not to exceed $5,000 and notify the Department of Fish and Game that the City is not interested in acquiring the Wixon Ranch property. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RESOLUTION - Appropriating Funds re Acquisition of Southwest Oregon Gulch * (B-130-070 & C-070-010) Director of Planning and Community Development Perry recalled that in November 1993, the City Council determined to pursue the acquisition of the Southwest Oregon Gulch pursuant to a proposal from the Trust for Public Lands. Subsequently, an agreement was prepared to implement the acquisition. The difference between this and the prior proposal is the addition of 25 acres ($22,000) which extends south to Branstetter Lane and provides an alternate access route to the property. Funding for the acquisition would be by Solid Waste Utility funds. 8 03/15/94 It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council direct staff to proceed with the acquisition of the property, authorize the Mayor to sign the necessary agreement on behalf of the City pending review of the Patent by City staff and the Mayor, and adopt the necessary budget resolution providing for the acquisition of the property. Acquisition of the property would put the backup landfill site under City control along with the 200 acres previously acquired. MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member Moss, to direct staff to proceed with the acquisition of 175 acres in the Southwest Oregon Gulch, authorize the Mayor to sign the necessary agreement on behalf of the City pending review of the Patent by City staff and the Mayor, and adopt Resolution #94-61, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving and adopting the 54th amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 93-239 appropriating $270,000 to acquire said property. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Anderson, Kehoe, Moss and Arness Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - Dahl Resolution No. 94-61 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. SET PUBLIC HEARING - re Capital Outlay Fund for Shasta Union High School District (R-030-075-040) Director of Planning and Community Development Perry related that in 1990 and 1991, the Redding Redevelopment Agency (RRA) and Shasta Union High School District (SUHSD) entered into property tax pass-through agreements for the Canby/Hilltop/Cypress project and the Market Street project, respectively. Mr. Perry explained that under these agreements, SUHSD may submit a list of projects and request that any acquired funds be forwarded to SUHSD. When such a request is received by RRA and the City Council, public hearings must be held in accordance with Section 33679 of the State Redevelopment Law. The following two projects have been submitted for review and funding for the $18,088 available as of June 30, 1993: 1) Improvements at Enterprise High School that could be related to the widening of Churn Creek Road; and 2) Concrete curbing to protect the new track surface at Enterprise High School. It is the recommendation of staff that a public hearing be set for 7:00 p.m., April 19, 1994, in accordance with Section 33679 of State Redevelopment Law. MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Moss, that a public hearing be set for 7:00 p.m., April 19, 1994, to consider the use of capital outlay funds for the Shasta Union High School District. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RIVER RIDGE PARK, UNITS 4 AND 5 - Conditions of Approval (S-100-654-600) Director of Planning and Community Development Perry related that a letter was received from Leonard Bandell, on behalf of Jaxon Baker, requesting that the matter concerning the intent of conditions of approval of River Ridge Park, Units 4 and 5, pertaining to Quartz Hill Road improvements by Jaxon Enterprises be continued indefinitely. MOTION: Made by Council Member Moss, seconded by Council Member Anderson, to continue the matter regarding the intent of conditions of approval of River Ridge Park, Units 4 and 5, pertaining to Quartz Hill Road improvements by Jaxon Enterprises indefinitely. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RESOLUTION - Street Naming of a Portion of Castlewood Drive to Cloverway Drive and Green River Drive to Eastbrook Drive (S-070-230 & S-100-068-100) Director of Planning and Community Development Perry stated that the Planning Commission, at its meeting of March 8, 1994, recommended approval of a request by Eckelman and Scarbrough, Inc., to rename two streets within Unit 4 of the Highland Oaks Subdivision. It is the recommendation of both the Planning Commission and staff that the City Council adopt the necessary resolution renaming the south leg of 9 03/15/94 Castlewood Drive to Cloverway Drive and renaming Green River Drive to Eastbrook Drive. MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, that Resolution No. 94-62 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding renaming Green River Drive to Eastbrook Drive, and a portion of Castlewood Drive to Cloverway Drive. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Anderson, Kehoe, Moss and Arness Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - Dahl Resolution No. 94-62 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. ANNUAL REPORT ON GENERAL PLAN (G-030) Director of Planning and Community Development Perry provided an overview of the Annual Report to the City Council on the Redding General Plan dated March 1994. The report included plans and recommendations for the next several years regarding commitments to updating the General Plan. The Planning Commission, at its meeting of March 8, 1994, considered and approved said report. This was an information item and no action was required. RESOLUTION - Lease with Ronald G. Mygrant, et al re 1500 and 1550 California Street (A-070-075 & A-050-700) Director of Utilities/Customer Service Vokal recalled that in January 1987, the City entered into a seven-year lease for 5,600 square feet of office space and 5,600 square feet of basement storage space at 1550 California Street to be occupied by Customer Service and Printing Services at a monthly rental charge of $6,483. In July 1993, staff began surveying alternative sites to relocate the customer service center, the print shop, and utility field service personnel that would provide a minimum of 7,600 square feet for office space, adequate customer and employee parking areas and convenient storage space for paper stock, envelopes, and utility records. Three possible sites, including an expansion option to the existing facility were identified and negotiations began. While monthly rental charges were very competitive, it became apparent that relocating would incur a number of additional expenditures. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council authorize a five-year lease at 1500 and 1550 California Street at a monthly rental charge of $7,483 for the first year and $7,983 per month the following four years. This lease includes an additional 2,644 square feet of office space and five parking spaces. The City has the right to terminate the lease at the end of three years with a six months advance notice. Council Member Anderson questioned if there might be other City facilities available, particularly with regard to storage, once the Corporation Yard facility is completed and personnel has been relocated. Given the security required for such items as police evidence, Mr. Christofferson did not believe any of the vacated facilities would be suitable. MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, that Resolution No. 94-63 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving entering into a five-year lease dated March 1, 1994, between the City of Redding and Ronald G. Mygrant, et al, covering the premises at 1500 and 1550 California Street, at a monthly rental charge of $7,483 for the first year and $7,983 per month the following four years. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Anderson, Kehoe, Moss and Arness Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - Dahl Resolution No. 94-63 is on file in the office of the City Clerk.

She noted that most part-time employees in the City work just under 1,000 per fiscal year and are considered temporary employees, thereby receiving no benefits regardless of length of service. She asked that the City Council acknowledge that the City has permanent part-time employees and recognize them accordingly.
