Anderson opened the public hearing regarding the appeal of conditions of the Planning Commission's approval of Tentative Subdivision Map S-9-93, Lincoln Estates, Unit 3, by Joe Delija, et al. 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 Staff recommendation dated August 31, 1994 City Clerk Strohmayer advised that a letter was received from Frank Cabezud of Shasta Construction. Director of Planning and Community Development Perry provided an overview of the Report to City Council dated August 31, 1994, incorporated herein by reference. Mr. Perry recalled that the City Council referred the appeal back to staff with the consent of the developer to determine if a cost- sharing approach could be worked out between the two owners to provide access to and improvements to Lawrence Road. Mr. Perry explained that the developer of Lincoln Estates met with John Mello, the owner of the Greenway Subdivision; however, it is staff's understanding that an agreement has not been reached as to a sharing of costs. The developer of Lincoln Estates Subdivision submitted a proposal dated August 9, 1994, for off-site improvements for the extension of Lawrence Road through the second phase of Greenway Subdivision with no improvements offered for the existing Lawrence Road. Staff finds these improvements inadequate to provide a suitable and safe means of access. Mr. Perry stated that the owner of Greenway Subdivision has verbally agreed to dedicating right-of-way through his property. Mr. Perry indicated that in staff's opinion, the following substitute for Condition 7 is the minimum requirement necessary to provide a safe access that will encourage use of Lawrence Road versus Middleton Lane: Should Lincoln Estates develop prior to Phase 2 of the Greenway Subdivision, the developer of Lincoln Estates shall construct the following off-site improvements to Lawrence Road: a) The off-site portion of Lawrence Road from Hartnell Avenue south to the north boundary of the Greenway Subdivision shall be improved to a minimum section of 32 feet of AC paving with curb and gutter on one side of the street as approved by the Department of Public Works. Any storm-drain improvements required shall be installed to the approval of the Department of Public Works; b) The existing bridge across Wentz Creek at the northwest corner of the Greenway Subdivision shall be rebuilt to a minimum width of 40 feet as shown on the approved improvement drawings for Greenway Subdivision, Unit 2; c) The final map for Phase 3 (Lots 13 through 46) shall not be recorded until all off-site Lawrence Road improvements are completed and necessary right-of-way is dedicated; d) The off-site street connection between Phase 1 of the Greenway Subdivision and the existing Lawrence Road shall be constructed with 32 feet of AC paving, consisting of 1.5 inches of AC paving over 12 inches of aggregate base with 4-foot-wide graveled shoulders on both sides; and e) Off-site street dedication through the Greenway Subdivision to Lawrence Road shall occur to a minimum width of 60 feet along the alignment shown on the approved Tentative Map for the Greenway Subdivision. Mr. Perry noted that the box culvert would still need to be done at some future date utilizing street funds. In addition, the bulk cost of the traffic signals would need to be absorbed by the City, either through a grant or the Traffic Impact Fee Program. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council uphold the appeal subject to the alternative Condition No. 7 developed by staff. Frank Cabezud, 16006 Alhambra Lane, favored proceeding with staff's recommendation. Mayor R. Anderson determined that there were no additional individuals present wishing to speak on the matter and closed the public hearing. MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member Murray, to uphold the appeal subject to alternative Condition No. 7 developed by staff and hereinabove stated. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - re Adjustment to Convention Center and Police Department Sections of the Schedule of Fees and Service Charges (F-205-600) The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor R.

Budget Services Officer Starman highlighted the Report to City Council dated August 30, 1994, incorporated herein by reference, which detailed the proposed changes to the Schedule of Fees and Services Charges with regard to the Convention Center and Police Department. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council adopt the necessary resolution updating the Convention Center user fee schedule and bring it congruent with the adopted budget, streamline the police report copy delivery process for the public and staff, and place the monetary burden for 290 P.C. registration on the service user. Mr. Starman noted that the emergency medical response fees included on Page 9 of the Schedule of Fees and Services Charges were inadvertently left in the table and the resolution should be adopted with this one modification. Mayor R. Anderson determined that 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 McGeorge, that Resolution No. 94-267 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding amending its Schedule of Fees and Service Charges, with the noted deletion of emergency medical response fees, thereby updating the Convention Center user fee schedule, streamlining the police report copy delivery process for the public and staff, and placing the monetary burden for 290 P.C. registration on the service user.

SOUTHEAST ASIAN COMMUNITY AWARENESS PROGRAM (A-050-060) Council Member Murray explained that in the past few years, there has been a significant increase in the Redding Southeast Asian population. Currently, the City has approximately 2,500 community residents from Southeast Asian countries. As citizens of Redding, these residents have the same needs to access to community facilities and services as do all other residents. Unfortunately, their access to such services is severely limited due to language barriers. While the younger family members receive training in the English language, much of the adult population does not. This has created a situation where traditional family roles are reversed. In effect, children are empowered and adults must receive their information from their children. Further, the leadership roles in the Southeast Asian communities are dominated by the few adults who speak English. Most Southeast Asian families have a limited and perhaps biased view of their responsibilities and opportunities as citizens of the City of Redding. This situation results in serious misunderstandings with law enforcement personnel and other service providers within the community. Mr. Murray stated that it is virtually impossible to get the Southeast Asian community together for public education purposes and suggested that the City take an overview of governmental services and policies to this community in their homes. The proposal is to produce a video tape, in the language of the Southeast Asian families, that informs and educates on the functions of government in the Redding area. It is envisioned that the basic video would need to be translated into the three languages most prevalent in the Southeast Asian community; i.e., Mein, Hmong, and Lao. He provided a memorandum from Police Chief Blankenship as a starting point for the types of topics that could be covered. He suggested requesting input from all City departments as to subjects that might be covered in this context. It is estimated by the Community Services Department that a final product could be produced for distribution within the Southeast Asian community for approximately $10,000. Funds for this project would come from the Special Promotions budget category or unallocated reserves. It is recommended that the City Council direct staff to solicit input from all City departments and affected agencies, determine the scope and cost of this project, identify an appropriate funding source and return to the City Council with a specific recommended plan for City Council adoption. Council Member McGeorge viewed Council Member Murray's recommendation as having merit. He recommended that the City utilize Channel 11 in developing the video. Council Member Murray replied that the cost estimate was received from Channel 11 and estimated the cost to actually be lower than $10,000. Council Member Kehoe concurred that there might be value to the development of such a video. He expressed concern, however, with the associated cost. Since the entire community would benefit from such a program, he suggested that the other cities, as well as Shasta County, be approached about contributing toward such a video. If this should be determined to be a high priority among the various department, he suggested financing the videos production utilizing existing budgets and not allocating new dollars. Mayor R. Anderson concurred with Council Member Kehoe. Due to staff's current workloads, he did not want the project to utilize a substantial amount of staff time. Council Member Murray recommended circulating a memorandum to the department directors to determine which departments might wish to be included in the video. Once a budget is defined, he stated that the City Manager would be requested to prepare a recommendation as to where the necessary funds should be derived. In response to Mayor R. Anderson, Council Member Murray envisioned producing video tapes, at a cost of approximately $3.00 each, for purpose of giving them to the 200 Southeast Asian families. He noted that the entire project is not expected to exceed $10,000. MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member McGeorge, to conceptually approve the video tape concept and direct staff to solicit input from all City departments and affected agencies, determine the scope and cost of this project, identify an appropriate funding source and provide a recommendation to the City Council for consideration. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT - July 1994 (B-130-070) Budget Services Starman provided an overview of the Report to City Council dated August 31, 1994, incorporated herein by reference, detailing the July 1994 Monthly Financial Report. In response to Mayor R. Anderson, Mr. Starman stated that he would investigate why the investment income differed from projections. This was an informational item and no action was required. IMPROVEMENTS TO RODEO GROUNDS - Request for Financing by Redding Rodeo Association (C-050-560) Budget Services Officer Starman related that the Redding Rodeo Association submitted a letter to the Director of Community Services requesting the City to consider arranging the financing for a number of improvements at the rodeo grounds. The Association is seeking approximately $35,000 to: 1) replace the arena surface with material more appropriate for horsemanship events and activities; 2) install a sprinkler and drain system; 3) replace existing wood bleachers with box seating and metal bleachers; and 4) upgrade the electrical system. Mr. Starman stated that the Director of Community Services has reviewed the request and agrees that the improvements are desirable and needed. The improvements would clearly benefit the City in its efforts to co-promote non-rodeo events at the rodeo grounds. Mr. Starman recalled that the City and the Association have worked together in the past to facilitate improvements to the rodeo grounds. Specifically, the City entered into a lease purchase agreement with North Valley Bank in 1984 for new grandstand bleachers at the rodeo grounds. The Association subleased the bleachers from the City, and pays the full lease payment to North Valley Bank each year. This arrangement has proven to be a "win-win" situation for all three parties: the Association was able to improve the seating capability at the rodeo grounds; the City also benefitted from the improved seating and will ultimately own the bleachers after July 1, 2004; and North Valley Bank was able to treat the revenue from the lease as tax- free income, thereby lowering the interest rate associated with the lease- purchase agreement. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council authorize staff to explore the possibility of arranging outside financing for the improvements or utilize an existing financing to pay for the improvements and proceed with the most viable option. Council Member Murray did not understand the logic of the Association's request and saw no justification for the loan. He questioned whether there was any long-range plan with regard to the rodeo arena. Director of Community Services Gorman related that there is language in the current lease agreement which contemplates a relocation of the facility. He explained that the recommended improvements are not considered to be substantial and either involve safety issues or a means of generating additional income for the horsemanship program. He noted that the Association's financial statement is on file with the City and available for review. Mr. Gorman explained that staff has been working closely with the Association and the City is proposing to lease the facility from the Association and sublease it to others in order to generate additional revenue, utilize the facility to a greater degree, and offer the community a broader range of functions. The proposed improvements would be beneficial in achieving this goal. In response to Council Member Murray, Mr. Gorman related that there is currently no plan for relocating the facility. He stated that he has met with the Association's Board of Directors and general membership and it is understood that the rodeo grounds will have to be relocated at some time in the future. Council Member McGeorge, having been a member of the Asphalt Cowboys, stated that the rodeo grounds offers the following benefits: 1) Convention Center seating is limited to 2,200, whereas the rodeo grounds has a seating capacity which exceeds 4,000; and 2) Redding is unable to have certain functions in Redding because they cannot be held at a reasonable ticket price at the Convention Center due to the limited seating. He noted that the bleachers could be reassembled at a new location and the improvements would be beneficial in attracting large events to Redding, thereby producing revenue for the City. Mr. Starman stated that the Association could probably arrange financing on its own. It has requested the City's assistance in order to utilize its tax-exempt status, thereby, lowering the interest rate. MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member Murray, to defer consideration of the Redding Rodeo Association's request for the City to arrange financing for improvements to the Rodeo Grounds until the September 20, 1994, and requested that a representative of the Association attend that meeting to answer questions. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes WORKSHOP RE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE AT TURTLE BAY (P-050-460-700) Associate Planner Hanson provided an overview of the Report to City Council dated August 31, 1994, incorporated herein by reference, discussing the feasibility report of a pedestrian bridge at Turtle Bay. Mr. Hanson stated that staff believes the public would be best served by developing the pedestrian bridge in concert with the Museum and Arboretum both in terms of time schedules (1997 opening) and in cooperation as to the location and type of structure. The City Council needs to determine whether the added cost of a larger and wider bridge beyond what has been raised to date is the City's responsibility or if it should be shared with others also benefiting. Given the high level of interest and potential for cost-sharing solutions, it is the recommendation of staff that a special workshop be scheduled and representatives from the following groups be invited to participate: Recreation and Parks Commission, Planning Commission, Tourism and Convention Commission, Turtle Bay Museum Board of Directors, Redding Arboretum Committee, McConnell Foundation, permitting agencies, and the public. Mayor R. Anderson stated that some of the interested parties are concerned about having such a large group. He believed that having the entire City Council in attendance would require the meetings to be published under the Brown Act and recommended that two City Council Members attend the workshop. He suggested that representation from the various groups also be limited to two. Council Member Murray asserted that if the City determines how much money it wants to spend on the project, the rest will take care of itself. Mayor R. Anderson indicated there was approximately $1,400,000 available to spend on the project. Discussions with the McConnell Foundation representatives indicate that they would like to have a nicer bridge. Mayor Anderson expressed confidence that the McConnell Foundation would be willing to donate additional monies, thereby giving it a major voice in the design. Associate Planner Hanson clarified that there is $1,800,000 available for this project. In response to Council Member P. Anderson, Mr. Hanson related that the engineer hired to do the feasibility study, Mr. Redfield, would be invited to attend the workshop. Council Member Kehoe felt a decision timeline should be established. MOTION: Made by Council Member Murray, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, authorizing the Mayor to appoint a committee to make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the pedestrian bridge at Turtle Bay. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Mayor Anderson stated that he and Council Member Kehoe would serve as the City's representatives and report back to the City Council with a recommendation. COMMUNITY VISION PLAN (A-050-250) Director of Planning and Community Development Perry related that over the past several months, discussion has occurred on the possibility of having a consultant prepare a Vision Plan for the community. A Vision Plan is the end product of a process in which the citizens of the community participate in evaluating the existing environment and in developing a common vision for the future. He highlighted the Report to City Council dated September 6, 1994, incorporated herein by reference, which outlined the Vision Plan process and its benefits. Mr. Perry explained that staff is looking for direction from the City Council. One of the primary reasons staff has pursued this project is to get a broader cross-check on the City's General Plan before embarking on any major comprehensive update. The Vision Plan can be a valuable tool in updating the General Plan in order to focus the work. The Vision Planning process can also provide an opportunity for community participation in the planning process and result in a community-wide consensus, or common vision, for the future physical development and redevelopment of the City. If the effort is broadened to include the community as a whole, not just the special interest groups, the Vision Plan document will help visually articulate the community's goals and objectives for future growth. If the City Council wishes to proceed with the project, it is the recommendation of staff that the City Council authorize staff to schedule a two-day workshop with A. Nelessen Associates that includes Shasta County and the cities of Anderson and Shasta Lake, subject to their participation in financing the workshop. In response to Council Member P. Anderson, Mr. Perry related that Shasta County staff has telephoned several times inquiring about the Vision Plan and encouraging its development. The matter, however, has not been presented to the Board of Supervisors. Mayor R. Anderson questioned whether the plan could be completed utilizing existing staff. He recognized that it might require the hiring of an additional employee. Mr. Perry stated that the plan would be done utilizing existing staff. The main advantage of the consultant is the consultant has an approach which has been developed and practiced in many communities across the nation. Mayor R. Anderson maintained that the General Plan update is more important than the Vision Plan. He stated that money needs to be set aside toward the General Plan update. Mr. Perry related that the Vision Plan would enable the current General Plan to be cross checked. He noted that the money for the Vision Plan represents the amount of money required for an Area Plan. Current revenues would need to be built up over a period of years to permit a General Plan update. Council Member Murray opined that the Vision Plan represents a process of detailing what the community wants, rather than what tradeoffs the community is willing to give in order to get the work they want, thereby, obscuring the necessity for individuals to take responsibility for their choices. In his opinion, the General Plan process is one of tradeoffs. He questioned whether it would be more appropriate to launch into a full General Plan update with the contractor performing the vision plan process. Mr. Perry explained that if the City Council wants to pursue a full General Plan update, staff should prepare a cost estimate. He noted that Chico recently hired a consultant to update its General Plan at a cost of $350,000. A General Plan update is a two-year commitment and the level of community input would need to be determined. He acknowledged that the consultant who prepares the General Plan update could also perform the vision plan; however, with the limited funds available, staff through the City Council might select a topic the program could be utilized for. The $25,000 allocation could be used for planning purposes, however, he was not sure if the matching monies could be utilized for that purpose. Council Member Kehoe supported utilizing the funds for a General Plan update. He also recommended that the selection of the consultant for the update be done using a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. Council Member Murray requested staff to prepare a report within the next month which addresses the General Plan update process, the associated costs, and how much of the monies allocated toward the Vision Plan could be captured for a General Plan update. MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member Murray, to not pursue the preparation of a Vision Plan and direct staff to prepare a follow-up report regarding the process and costs associated with a complete General Plan update. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RESOLUTION - Property Tax Exchange Agreement for Annexation 94-2, Knighton Road/I-5 Interchange; and Ratify Negative Declaration (T-010-650 & A-150-251) Director of Planning and Community Perry provided an overview of the Report to City Council dated September 6, 1994, incorporated herein by reference, which discussed the property tax exchange agreement for Annexation 94-2, Knighton Road/I-5 Interchange. He explained that the City has 30 days by State law to negotiate a property tax exchange agreement with the County. He noted that the resolution before the City Council for consideration does not represent a final decision, but sets forth past practice coupled with the formation of a Mello-Roos District. The agreement provides that the County would retain all of the property taxes currently received from the area. The city would receive the fire protection tax presently received by Fire Protection District No. 1, plus the Mello-Roos fees to pay for certain other services allowed by State law. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council approve the resolution adopting the Property Tax Exchange Agreement and ratify the Negative Declaration. He noted that staff anticipates follow-up meetings between the Mayor and the Chair of the Board of Supervisors. Council Member Murray opined that the City Council voted to bring the annexation to a point of conducting a meeting with the Board of Supervisors to determine the issues. Mayor R. Anderson stated that the Chair of the Board of Supervisors notified him that the Board preferred that the matter be negotiated at the staff level, with recommendations brought back to the respective bodies for consideration. Council Member Murray expressed concern regarding the comment made in the Report to City Council which indicated that if the County refused to adopt the Property Tax Exchange Agreement, the City could pursue legal action against the County and the message that the comment sent to the Board. He also expressed frustration that the Board was not interested in meeting with the City Council to work out the details of the agreement. In response to Mayor R. Anderson, Mr. Perry explained that details of property tax exchange agreements were previously worked out at the staff level until the County unilaterally rescinded a 1980 master property tax exchange agreement applied to all annexations and adopted one whereby it retained all of the property taxes for all annexations. The City has previously provided two overtures regarding methods of distributing property and sales tax within the Knighton Road Interchange area; however, the County has chosen not to respond either at the staff to staff level or at the City Council to Board level. While staff anticipates meeting with the County concerning the Property Tax Exchange Agreement, the City must submit a proposal for consideration or permit the annexation to die, thereby, requiring the annexation process to begin over. Mayor R. Anderson suggested that Council Member Murray meet with Chair Sullivan to discuss the matter. He noted that the only action before the City Council is to submit a proposal for the Board's consideration within the 30-day window period. Interim City Manager McMurry interjected that the County Administrator requested that the City Council's action be faxed to him tomorrow to permit staff to prepare a report for the Board's consideration next Tuesday. Mayor R. Anderson suggested authorizing staff to negotiate some other agreement if the County is not willing to accept the proposed agreement. Council Member Murray questioned which staff members would be involved with the negotiation process. Mr. McMurry conveyed that Mr. Perry, the City Manager's Office, and possibly a representative from the City Attorney's Office would be involved in the negotiations. Council Member Murray stated that the real issue is the sales tax and the adoption of the Property Tax Exchange Agreement does not resolve that matter. Mayor R. Anderson acknowledged that the City is willing to negotiate beyond the property tax matter, however, the law only specifically requires that property tax be negotiated. Mr. McMurry believed that the County would be bringing a proposal back to the City regarding sales tax after the Board meeting. Council Member Murray objected to what he perceived as threatening statements being made in Staff Reports which are circulated on the Friday before the City Council meeting. Mayor R. Anderson concurred that such statements in the future should not be made relative to matters being negotiated. Mr. Perry explained that the purpose of making the statement was to disclose to the City Council exactly what could occur and was not intended as a threat. Agnes Whitford, 7416 Churn Creek Road, conveyed that the residents of Churn Creek Bottom perceive this annexation or any other annexation as an intrusion of City government into a long-established rural area. In her opinion, an environmental impact report (EIR) would disclose the potential problems of annexation. She said the Home Owners Association conducted an opinion survey of its membership. She indicated that 108 surveys were returned with 106 votes not in favor of this or any future annexation in the Churn Creek Bottom. In response to Council Member McGeorge, Mr. Perry opined that a Negative Declaration is permissible regarding a change of jurisdiction. He noted that the bulk of the annexation is publicly owned land. If the matter were to be litigated, Mr. Perry indicated that there is always the risk of the court making a different decision. As a taxpayer in Shasta County and the City of Redding, Council Member Murray opposed filing suit regarding the matter. MOTION: Made by Council Member P. Anderson, seconded by Council Member Murray, that the City Council make the following findings regarding Annexation Application 94-2: 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 June 1, 1994. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Council Member P. Anderson, seconded by Council Member Murray, that Resolution No. 94-268 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving a resolution involving property tax transfers between the County of Shasta and the City of Redding for the City of Redding Reorganization No. 94-2, Knighton Road/I-5 Interchange, and authorizing staff to negotiate beyond said agreement, if necessary, i.e., sales tax. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - P. Anderson, Kehoe, McGeorge, Murray and R. Anderson Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 94-268 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. At the hour of 8:40 p.m., Mayor R. Anderson declared the meeting recessed. At the hour of 8:52 p.m., Mayor R. Anderson reconvened the meeting to regular session. OPTION AGREEMENT - re Surplus Property Located at the Southeast Corner of Placer Road and Buenaventura Boulevard (C-070-200) Director of Planning and Community Development Perry stated that a letter was received from Paul Edgren proposing to enter into an option agreement with the City for retail property which the City owns at the southeast corner of Placer Road and Buenaventura Boulevard. The option agreement proposed by Mr. Edgren would provide the following: a) a term equal to the length of the term to build Buenaventura Boulevard; b) The sales price would be as per an update appraisal; and c) Payment for the option would be a copy of an updated appraisal + $2,000 and a copy of a demographic survey. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council agree to enter into an option agreement as presented in the Report to City Council dated August 31, 1994, incorporated herein by reference, with the stipulation that the City concurs in the scope of work of the feasibility study and that the property is appraised based on Buenaventura Boulevard having been constructed. Council Member Murray opposed the agreement being tied to the completion of Buenaventura Boulevard. He believed that the City should follow the recently adopted City Council policy with regard to the sale of surplus property. Council Member P. Anderson questioned how staff's recommendation differs from City Council policy. Mr. Perry replied that under the City's current policy, a good faith deposit of $6,500 for one year would be required. In lieu of the deposit, Mr. Edgren is proposing to provide the City with a copy of the appraisal, which is $2,000, or split the cost of the appraisal, and a copy of the market study. Council Member Murray noted that if Mr. Edgren does not exercise his option, the market study would only be applicable to a similar type business utilizing the area. MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member McGeorge, authorizing staff to enter into an option agreement regarding surplus property at the southeast corner of Placer Road and Buenaventura Boulevard subsequent to the policies of the City Council. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PROPOSED EXPANSION OF PALO CEDRO SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT (L-010-075-575) Council Member Kehoe abstained from discussion and voting on this matter. Director of Planning and Community Development Perry indicated that the City has received a Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the proposed expansion of the Palo Cedro Sewage Treatment Plan. This notice is required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act to enable interested agencies to make comments prior to the preparation of the draft environmental impact report (EIR). Mr. Perry stated that the direct and indirect impacts on City-owned land warrant more complete communication with the City Council. Staff believes the NOP, together with staff's letter of response, adequately addressed the issues. Further discussion and action may be appropriate once the draft EIR is completed. In particular, the City would need to decide if it wants to let City land be used for that purpose and whether or not the City should oppose use of developable land within the Redding sphere of influence for sewage disposal. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council direct staff to submit a position paper to the City Council for consideration. MOTION: Made by Council Member Murray, seconded by Council Member McGeorge, directing staff to submit a position paper on the proposed expansion of the Palo Cedro Sewage Treatment Plant for the City Council's consideration. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - P. Anderson, McGeorge, Murray and R. Anderson Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Abstain: Council Members - Kehoe SET PUBLIC HEARING - re Amendment to Chapter 18.49, Home Occupations (L-010-500) Director of Planning and Community Development Perry stated that the Planning Commission, at its meeting of August 23, 1994, recommended approval of amendments to the Home Occupation Ordinance. The amendments concern changes in the procedures used to regulate home occupations. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council set a public hearing for September 20, 1994. Council Member Kehoe expressed the following concerns with the proposal: 1) The lack of appeals in the Group 1 classification; and 2) Reduction in the required notification process from 300 feet to 100 feet. MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member Murray, to set a public hearing for 7:00 p.m., September 20, 1994, to consider the Amendment to Chapter 18.49 of the Redding Municipal Code, Home Occupations. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY AT 2725 BUNKER AVENUE RESOLUTION - Appropriating Funds * (B-130-070 & C-070-010) Director of Planning and Community Development Perry explained that the City has been slowly acquiring parcels along the west side of Victor Avenue between Cypress Avenue and Hartnell Avenue. The goal has been to obtain the necessary right-of-way as it becomes available in order to widen the section of Victor Avenue to arterial standards. Mr. Perry stated that a letter was received from Jim Medland, offering to sell the property depicted in the Report to City Council dated August 31, 1994, incorporated herein by reference. Mr. Medland has the property in escrow and is aware that the City has right-of-way needs in the area. He proposes to sell the property to the City for $39,500 plus 50 percent of the additional escrow fees. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council direct staff to obtain the necessary clearances, to open escrow when the clearance is obtained, and to obtain title to the property. It is further recommended that if the property is acquired, that staff be directed to remove the structure, clean up the property and install a fence along Bunker Avenue to prevent the property line from being used as an unpaved driveway between Bunker Avenue and Victor Avenue. It is further recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution appropriating $45,000 to accomplish most of the required work. The source of funds would be unappropriated Construction Tax Funds. MOTION: Made by Council Member McGeorge, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, directing staff to obtain the necessary clearances with regard to property located at 2725 Bunker Avenue, to open escrow when the clearance is obtained, and to obtain title to the property. Once the property is acquired, staff is further directed to remove the structure, clean up the property and install a fence along Bunker Avenue. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Council Member McGeorge, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, that Resolution No. 94-269 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving and adopting the 12th amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 94-199 appropriating $45,000 for right-of-way acquisitions. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - P. Anderson, Kehoe, McGeorge, Murray and R. Anderson Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 94-269 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. RESOLUTION - Amending SEIU-CTP Memorandum of Understanding by Adopting Flexible Staffing Proposal RESOLUTION - Amending SEIU-Confidential Memorandum of Understanding by Adopting Flexible Staffing Proposal (P-100-050-126) Director of Personnel Bristow advised that approximately a year ago a group of Office Services Supervisors approached the Personnel Department with a proposal to flexibly staff the Clerk, Account Clerk, and Secretarial series. Flexible staffing allows a department director to advance an employee in the classification series based upon higher level duties and responsibilities, and the needs of the department. Discussion resulted in the following recommended policy: Advancement from one level to next will not be automatic for any employee. Advancement will depend upon the duties and responsibilities of the position, level of supervision received, employee performance, time with the City, meeting minimum qualifications for the next higher level, and Department Director approval. Mr. Bristow explained that the proposal is beneficial to both the City and employees for the following reasons: 1) Provides career development within departments for employees within the clerical and secretarial classifications series; 2) The Personnel Department will only need to conduct exams for the entrance level position, thereby reducing the number of exams at an overall annual savings of approximately $16,500; 3) Advancement may occur by reclassification; 4) Allows departments to restructure positions to operate at optimum efficiency, at minimal cost, while remaining in compliance with bargaining agreements; and 5) A five percent differential for shorthand would be paid to those employees whose positions require a minimum of ten percent of their working time on duties requiring shorthand. Mr. Bristow stated that the only salary range recommendation is to increase the Clerk range by five percent. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council approve the necessary resolutions adopting the flexible staffing proposals. MOTION: Made by Council Member McGeorge, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, that Resolution No. 94-270 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Exhibit A-2 of the Redding Employees Ordinance of the Service Employees International Unit Clerical, Technical and Professional Employees' Unit effective August 28, 1994, and Exhibit A-3 effective July 2, 1995, to the Memorandum of Understanding by: 1) Deleting the classification of Secretary-Steno, and adding Secretary I and Secretary II; 2) Deleting the classifications of Clerk, Intermediate Clerk, and Senior Clerk, and adding Clerk I, Clerk II, and Clerk III; 3) Increasing the salary range for Clerk I by five percent; 4) Deleting the classifications of Intermediate Account Clerk and Senior Account Clerk, and adding Account Clerk I and Account Clerk II; and 5) Providing a shorthand differential of five percent for Secretaries I and II who spend a minimum of 10 percent of their working time taking shorthand.

AMBULANCE SERVICE WITHIN THE CITY OF REDDING (T-100-030) Council Member P. Anderson and Mayor R. Anderson abstained from discussion on this item. Police Chief Blankenship explained that as a result of an application for an ambulance license by Shasta View Ambulance Company, questions were raised by the City Council regarding ambulance service within the City of Redding. Responses to these questions are outlined in the Report to City Council dated September 2, 1994, incorporated herein by reference. Chief Blankenship stated that the regulation of ambulance service within Shasta County is contracted through Northern California Emergency Medical Services (NCEMS). Jack Becker, Chief Executive Officer of NCEMS, indicated that he was available to answer any questions. In response to Vice Mayor Kehoe, Mr. Becker related that the times reflected in the report are provided by the City's Dispatch Center and are actual response times from the time the call is received until the ambulance arrives at the scene. The actual response times within the City of Redding are not recorded as the ambulances operate in what is considered the greater Redding area which includes Anderson, Cottonwood and Shasta Lake. Council Member Murray noted that the Run Report contains a space for recording information within the City of Redding. Mr. Becker acknowledged that the information is logged on the Run Report, however, NCEMS is not set up to capture that information. NCEMS is under contract with the County of Shasta, therefore, all information is developed on a county-wide basis. In response to Council Member Murray, Mr. Becker conveyed that the Emergency Medical Care Committee was a requirement of law for many years, however, because there were no penalties associated with not having such a committee, Shasta County disbanded its committee approximately eight or nine years ago. The law has since been changed so that the committee is no longer required. He stated that such a committee is a useful tool in bringing various entities together to discuss emergency medical services jointly. In response to Council Member Murray, Mr. Becker explained that the metro/urban response designation applies to the basin floor. The City's Fire Department is considered the basic life support/CPR first responder and meets specified guidelines by responding on a four-minute average. Advanced life support, which is required within eight minutes, applies to ambulance service. Based on the amount of calls in the complete area, NCEMS believes the response time is being met as the average response is 14 minutes, including calls to Cottonwood. Council Member Murray understood that the City's ordinance requires the applicant to justify the need for another ambulance company within the City. However, because the data is not available, he questioned how the need can be substantiated. Mr. Becker acknowledged this dilemma. Mr. Becker related that several years ago, the "Boulder Decision" had a tremendous influence on the way cities and counties handled ambulance operations. At that time, many counties and cities rescinded ordinances which authorized ambulances to operate based upon need and necessity. The State then stepped in and developed Exclusive Operating Areas "EOAs" which counties can adopt thereby granting ambulance companies exclusive rights to certain areas. Once EOAs are adopted, fees, response times, etc. can be regulated. Since Shasta County has not adopted EOAs, there are no real regulations other than those items which would be a violation of the law. Council Member Murray stated that his main concern is determining whether or not the residents are being adequately served, and at this point in time, NCEMS is not able to provide that information. Mr. Becker confirmed that he could not provide that information. Council Member McGeorge stated that his goal is to determine if the City is being adequately served with regard to ambulance service. He related that if the County is agreeable to providing that information, it would be very helpful to the City Council. Mr. Becker recommended that the City work with Shasta County to create an Emergency Medical Care Committee and develop EOAs. While he is a proponent of EOAs because they negate some of the difficulties which the City of Redding is experiencing, he acknowledged that their creation can be both time consuming and costly. He cited Butte County as an example of what happens when regulations and EOAs are not in place. In response to Council Member Murray, City Attorney Hays related that NCEMS does not have the authority to regulate the number of ambulance companies. Mr. Hays inquired whether the applicant could research NCEMS records and extract the required information relative to response times within the corporate limits of the City of Redding. Mr. Becker stated that the information would have to be gathered manually, as the computer report is not currently set up to collect that data. Once the information is entered into the computer from the run reports, the reports are destroyed. It would be necessary to know the period of time the information was needed so that the reports could be saved. Vice Mayor Kehoe noted that although this was an informational item, the City Council must still determine how it wants to proceed. He requested that staff prepare the following for the City Council's consideration: 1) A decision-making model that takes into account the two factors of the City's ordinance: necessity and convenience; 2) Prepare an evaluation based on the information contained in the informational report and any data which can be obtained from the County to evaluate the proposal; 3) Provide alternatives and the impacts of those alternatives; and 4) If possible, recommend a preferred alternative. Council Member Murray suggested that the list of options include the possibility of changing the ordinance. Interim City Manager McMurry noted that the City Council has a public hearing scheduled for September 20, 1994, regarding an ambulance permit. He questioned whether the City Council wanted this information prior to taking action on the application. Vice Mayor Kehoe questioned whether two weeks was sufficient time for staff to prepare such a report. Mr. McMurry replied that two weeks would probably not be sufficient for preparing such a report and that staff would work with the applicant regarding possibly postponing the public hearing until the information is available. RESOLUTION - Imposition of a Passenger Facility Charge for Redding Municipal Airport (F-205-600 & A-090-100) Airports Director Perry recalled that the City Council, at its meeting of January 18, 1992, directed staff to proceed with the concept of establishing a Passenger Facility Charge (PFC). This task was subsequently included as an element within the Airport Master Plan Update project. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council adopt a resolution directing staff to continue the process of establishing a PFC at Redding Municipal Airport in the amount of $3.00 per enplaning passenger, and authorizing the Mayor to sign same. In response to Council Member Kehoe, Mr. Perry explained that the law is structured to permit a total charge of $6.00 one way and $12.00 maximum for a round trip. The $3.00 fee starts at the originating point. It is believed that sooner or later Redding air travelers will be paying the full $12.00 fee regardless if the City participates in the program. In response to Council Member McGeorge, Mr. Perry stated that the funds have to be utilized on projects which would be eligible for grant funding. He believed the City should take it one step further and utilize the monies for capital projects which benefit commercial air travelers. Before the fee is authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration, there are required comment periods. As in other parts of the United States, he noted that the commercial airlines would go on record opposing the fee. MOTION: Made by Council Member McGeorge, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, that Resolution No. 94-272 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving imposition of a Passenger Facility Charge for Redding Municipal Airport, and authorizing the Director of Airports to execute and submit the appropriation application for same. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - P. Anderson, Kehoe, McGeorge, Murray and R. Anderson Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 94-272 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. RESOLUTION - Authorizing Filing of Federal Grant Preapplication and Subsequent Grant Application for an Airport Improvement Program Grant and a State Airport Matching Fund Loan Application - re East Side Development at Redding Municipal Airport (G-100-070-095 & G-100-170-200) Airports Director Perry recalled that the City Council, at its meeting of July 19, 1994, appropriated funds for construction of a temporary taxiway to provide airfield access to the Evergreen facility. The Master Plan for the airport includes a permanent taxiway providing access from the Evergreen facility to the main runway as well as an aircraft parking ramp, utilities, and access for ground vehicles. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has given verbal approval for the City to proceed with a federally funded project to construct these improvements and fund 90 percent of the costs. A 10 percent matching loan from the State would be utilized to fund the City's share. Public Works has provided a preliminary estimate of $800,000 for the development. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council approve the necessary resolution authorizing the City to submit the Grant Preapplication and subsequent Grant Application to the FAA, to file the State Airport Matching Fund Loan application, and authorizing the Director of Airports to execute the same. In response to Council Member P. Anderson, Mr. Perry explained that the temporary taxiway would provide short-term access for approximately two years. It appears that the temporary taxiway could become part of the stabilized shoulder of one side of the taxiway. MOTION: Made by Council Member P. Anderson, seconded by Council Member McGeorge, that Resolution No. 94-273 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding authorizing the filing of a Federal Grant Preapplication and subsequent Grant Application for an Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Grant, and a State Airport Matching Fund Loan Application for monies to accomplish east side development at Redding Municipal Airport, and authorizing the Airports Director to execute same. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - P. Anderson, Kehoe, McGeorge, Murray and R. Anderson Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 94-273 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. UNLEASHED DOGS IN TURTLE BAY EAST (A-130-150) Director of Recreation and Parks Riley explained that Redding Municipal Code Section 7.12.030 states, "it is unlawful for any person to bring into or permit any dog under his control or in his possession to enter an improved or landscaped area of any park, playground, or public recreational ground." This has been effective in prohibiting dogs from park and picnic areas to ensure those ares are relatively free from dog feces. Mr. Riley related that there have been some problems experienced on various trail systems throughout the City and the Department has received complaints regarding dog feces from the Sacramento River Trail and Mary Lake Trail involving blatant disregard for the regulation. Historically, the Department did not discourage citizens accompanied by their dogs from walking on City trails because the majority of dog owners are considerate enough to pick up after their dogs. The Recreation and Parks Commissions, at its meeting of August 31, 1994, considered a request from a concerned citizen regarding the restriction of dogs in City parks. The Commission noted that dogs running loose in the parks would create problems for other citizens who utilize park facilities. The Commission recommended that the ordinance be amended to permit dogs to run unleashed in Turtle Bay East. Council Member Kehoe noted that the ordinance does not permit dogs on leashes. Council Member Murray and Mayor R. Anderson noted that in accordance with the ordinance, dogs should not be permitted on the City's trails. Mr. Riley replied that the City has, by an unwritten policy, permitted dogs on leashes on the trails. Pat DeMarco, P.O. Box 494818, requested that the matter be referred back to the Recreation and Parks Commission with the recommendation that the dogs be allowed in all City parks on a leash. In response to Council Member P. Anderson, Ms. DeMarco clarified that she had requested that if the Commission rejected allowing dogs in parks on leashes that as an alternative it consider the designation of other areas where dogs would be permitted to run. She noted that horseback riding is permitted on Turtle Bay West. Kathleen Rummel, 2220 Vista Avenue, stated that the original request had been to permit dogs in City parks, preferably on a leash. A compromise proposal was reached that would allow dogs to run unleashed in Turtle Bay East. She conveyed that the only designated dog area within the City is at Benton Airpark, however, because of the increased population, the area is not sufficient. Council Member McGeorge advocated permitting dogs in City parks. He related that a citation should be in place for those individuals who are caught not cleaning up after their pet. Council Member Kehoe questioned whether the ordinance should be amended to place dogs on leashes in an exempt category. Council Member Murray suggested that the matter be referred back to the Recreation and Parks Commission to develop a decision matrix. While he believed Santa Monica's concept had merit, he felt hesitant about allowing dogs in all City parks. Mr. Riley stated that staff contacted Santa Monica regarding their program and learned that it has had problems with the program. He noted, however, that Santa Monica is a different type area. Redding has considerable open space areas which are not landscaped. He related that it is a well-known fact that dogs and parks are not compatible. In response to Council Member Murray, City Attorney Hays stated that it is an infraction to be caught not cleaning up after one's dog and results in an initial fine of $50. Council Member Murray reiterated the desire to have a decision matrix which includes the possibility of allowing dogs in some areas and some parks. He noted that dog owners are part of the community and pay for part of the parks. Council Member McGeorge conveyed that most rest areas have designated dog areas and suggested the possibility of limiting areas within parks for dogs, thereby providing a little more control. Council Member P. Anderson commented that the City's policies are not consistent, i.e., the City's ordinance does not permit dogs on trails. She suggested that the matter be referred back to the Recreation and Parks Commission to develop a consistent policy and also address if the designated area at Benton is sufficient. Council Member Kehoe concurred with the concept of establishing a decision matrix. He related that if the City is going to contemplate allowing dogs to run unleashed in certain areas of the City that the matrix should consider public safety, public health, and public liability. Council Member Kehoe also suggested that Mr. Riley explain the ordinance to the Commission to eliminate any possible misunderstandings. Mayor R. Anderson concurred that the ordinance should be updated to reflect current policies. It was the consensus of the City Council to refer the matter back to the Recreation and Parks Commission for further review and consideration. INCREASE CONTRACT AMOUNT - re Materials Testing, Corporation Yard/Transfer Station Project (B-050-020 & C-050-100-040 & S-020-650) Director of Public Works Galusha related that the City Council, at its meeting of April 19, 1994, approved a contract with Kleinfelder, Inc. in the amount of $37,500 for quality control testing of soils, structural bolt, and welded connection testing services for all of the contracts comprising the total Corporation Yard/Transfer Station project. Mr. Galusha explained that during earthwork operations on all of the contracts other than the pre-engineered building contract, where no soils testing was included, the soil conditions in various locations were found to be unsuitable for placing fill. The total amount expended for rectifying the poor soil conditions on the project was approximately $196,000. The cost of this work was $133,000 for the Material Recovery Facility contract alone. Mr. Galusha indicated that the soils testing for support of this type and amount of extra earthwork was substantial and, due to the extremely fast pace of construction with the resulting lag in invoicing from the consultant, the amount expended was not fully appreciated until recently. At present, the total amount invoiced is $1,100 above the approved contract amount of $37,500. Staff was not informed by Kleinfelder in advance that the contract amount had reached this point. The quality control testing for the project has not been halted because of the contract overrun. To do so would expose the City to delay claims from the contractor. The estimated amount to complete testing through the end of the project is $34,500. Staff has determined that quality control testing for the project is necessary to ensure that all construction complies with the various contract specifications, including Uniform Building Code requirements. Funds are available from the project bond proceeds to cover these additional costs. Council Member P. Anderson expressed concern with the fact that the City Council is continually required to approve contract amendments. She suggested implementing a City-wide policy, whereby staff is alerted when 90 percent of the monies are spent or work completed. This would permit staff to analyze whether additional monies are required, thereby eliminating contract overruns. Mr. Galusha presented the following alternatives for consideration: 1) Ensure project managers pay attention to the details. He noted that this particular project is fast paced and staff had intended to come back to the City Council before the dollar amount was exceeded; 2) Add language to contracts which require consultants to notify the City when contract limits are being approached and provide an estimate of additional monies required; and 3) Request that the Finance Department provide Project Managers with informational updates with regard to expenditures. In response to Mayor R. Anderson, Mr. Galusha stated that he would provide the City Council with a report depicting the overall results of construction projects with regard to the bid and the final project cost. MOTION: Made by Council Members P. Anderson, seconded by Council Member McGeorge, authorizing staff to increase the contract with Kleinfelder, Inc. an additional $34,500 for materials testing at the Corporation Yard/Transfer Station project. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RESOLUTION - Appropriating Funds for Construction of a Sewer Line at Redding Municipal Airport to Service City and USFS * (B-130-070 & W-020-575) Council Members Kehoe and McGeorge abstained from discussion and voting on this matter. Public Works Director Galusha explained that in 1991, the Regional Water Quality Control Board directed all users of the interim wastewater disposal facility at the Redding Municipal Airport to abandon the facility and divert their wastewater to the Stillwater facility. The main terminal and the tenants to the south end of the airport were connected to the Stillwater plant last year. The north end of the airport's wastewater, including the United States Forest Service (USFS), Fire Station No. 7, and the operations facility have not yet been diverted to the Stillwater plant. Mr. Galusha stated that through the planning process for this joint sewer line, legal difficulties were encountered for the USFS in contracting out work on City property. Consequently, the USFS proposed that the City engineer, contract, and inspect the portion of the line off the USFS property and that the USFS reimburse the City for their portion of these costs. It is estimated that the USFS's share of this project will be $233,340, and the City's upsizing cost will be $30,000. Sufficient funds are available in the Wastewater Utility's budget for the City's share of the project; however, no appropriation exists for the USFS's portion of the project. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council appropriate funds in the amount of $233,340 to cover the USFS portion of the contract costs, and authorize the receipt of $233,340 in revenue. MOTION: Made by Council Member P. Anderson, seconded by Council Member Murray, that Resolution No. 94-274 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving and adopting the 14th amendment to City Budget Resolution No. 94-199 appropriating $233,340 for a sewer extension project and authorizing receipt of revenue in the amount of $233,340. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - P. Anderson, Kehoe, McGeorge, Murray and R. Anderson Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 94-274 is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
