She stated the purpose of the presentation is a desire to ensure health facilities, such as the Feminist Women's Health Center, continue to provide much needed services in the community and that women can secure these services free from intimidation and violence. Barbara Davis, President of the League of Women Votes of the Redding Area (LWV), read her comments dated March 21, 1995, incorporated herein by reference, into the record. She stated the Feminist Women's Health Center has been the victim of over $100,000 worth of damage to its facility. In addition, Family Planning, Inc. is being told to prepare 6 03/21/95 for the same kind of arson treatment. She expressed appreciation to the City for its attempt to increase patrols of these targeted areas. She encouraged the City Council to work for a truly democratic form of government, and safety for all, by appointing an anti-violence task force. Marjorie Gates, 236 Ridgetop Drive, President of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) Redding Branch, also entered her comments dated March 21, 1995, incorporated herein by reference, into the record. She stated terrorism, intimidation, vandalism and arson should not be acceptable in the community. She stated that businesses which operate legally should not be targets of such violent and criminal action. She noted the importance of ensuring the safety of staff and patients of the health care facilities. She requested the City Council to appoint a task force to seek solutions and make recommendations to this problem of violence. She related the members of the AAUW, BPW and LWV are ready, willing and able to serve on this task force. She read the proposed resolution into the record which requests the City Council to appoint a task force. Mayor R. Anderson pointed out that similar task forces are already functioning within the County. He stated that one such organization, Shasta County Community Violence Prevention Council, has divided off into several different branches, one being in the Enterprise area. He suggested joining forces with existing task forces and broadening the scope of concentration to deal with violence in general instead of focusing on one particular health care facility. Nora Perry, 3737 Oro Street, explained the problems at the Feminist Women's Health Center have been occurring for the past five years and have damaged the community's reputation. As the immediate past President of the American Association of University Women for the State of California, she conveyed she has traveled extensively the past three years throughout the State and was continually asked what the community was doing regarding violence. She clarified that the three organizations represented this evening want to be part of the solution to this difficult problem. She stated there is nothing as pressing as the violence which has continued to go unchecked against the Feminist Women's Health Center and urged the City Council to establish a task force to develop a solution to this problem. Police Chief Blankenship explained that the Police Department has dealt with problems at the Feminist Women's Health Center on an ongoing basis since 1989. He stated that the comments regarding unchecked crime problems against the center are not correct. He related the Police Department has spent several hundred hours on investigation, meeting with Center representatives, and assigning a lieutenant to function as a liaison to the Center. He provided various statistics regarding assistance the Police Department has provided to date. He indicated that the Police Department is continuing to work with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on this national issue. He further stated that officers are encouraged to complete their reports in the clinic's parking lot in order to make their presence in the area known. He recommended that the City not become involved in this very emotional issue. Catrina Cantrell, 1901 Victor Avenue, Director of the Feminist Women's Health Center, stated she would contact the task forces the Mayor referenced. She applauded the Police Department's efforts to work with the Center in a non-bias fashion. She indicated that it has proven beneficial for City officials in other communities to take a stand on issues such as this. She stressed that the organizations are looking to the City Council for answers, not to develop enemies. Dorene Bradshaw, 2460 Athens Avenue, Executive Director for Family Planning, wanted to ensure the City Council was aware that two of the clinics attacked in February were not abortion providers. In considering clinic violence, she requested the City Council to consider the patients who are being served, as well as the facility's staff. She explained that employees of Family Planning are required to wear personal security alarms to work everyday because there are not 7 03/21/95 sufficient funds to provide security or install sprinkler systems. She noted the facility's services are legal and are governed by the California Department of Health Services and the Federal Department of Health and Human Services. She asked the City Council to look at this problem in a very broad manner. Juliette Frampton, 11355 Muletown, Chair of the Women's Issues of the American Association of University Women, did not believe that organized terrorist type violence could be addressed by a committee dealing with local community violence, i.e., muggings or gang activity. Council Member McGeorge explained the City Council is very aware of the violence occurring within the community. He stated he is involved with the Shasta County Community Violence Prevention Council, as well as the Enterprise Community Action Team. Rather than developing a new task force, he recommended the organizations work with these task forces to develop solutions to the problem. Council Member Murray opined that posting a sign or stating a position on a certain subject does not change the situation. He related that our community, unfortunately, does not spend a considerable amount of time on public matters, i.e., attending City Council meetings or budget hearings. He stated the City has many pressing matters with which the public should be actively involved. He conveyed his frustration with the fact there were 1,380 cases of domestic violence this past year and the City Council is only being requested to end the violence targeted at one particular facility. He recommended working together as a community committed to solving various community problems. He believed the City was doing all it could with the resources provided by the community. He asked the public for suggestions as to what resources, if any, could be diverted from other areas in order to enhance available police resources. He expressed a willingness to meet with the various organizations, but strongly believed the only way to make a change is to actively participate in the City's activities. Council Member Kehoe concurred with the community taking a holistic approach to solving the problems of the community. He stated that the Police Department is doing an outstanding job and recognized that one way to affect changes within the community would be to reallocate available resources. He reiterated that there are only finite resources available, and welcomed input from the community and invited public participation at the budget study hearings. Council Member P. Anderson expressed a desire to ensure the safety of the health clinics, as well as the citizens of Redding. She supported representatives from the three organizations meeting with the existing violence prevention task forces for the next two or three months to determine if this is a vehicle which might be used to address the problems being encountered at the health clinics. If after attending the task force meeting it is deemed not to be the appropriate solution, she encouraged the organizations to bring recommendations before the City Council for consideration. Mayor R. Anderson stated the City is not willing to tolerate violence and will continue to do everything possible to stop it, regardless of personal opinions. He was confident the Police Chief would continue to do everything possible to protect the clinic against violence. Council Member P. Anderson clarified that the group's primary concern is not the clinic itself, but the clinic's staff and patients. Council Member Murray stated he was reacting to the language contained in the proposed resolution which specifically requests a task force be appointed to find a solution to end violence targeted at local health facilities. Catrina Cantrell questioned if it was an unanimous decision that the City Council would not support the resolution as drawn by the three organizations. 8 03/21/95 Mayor R. Anderson clarified that the City Council was not willing to support the resolution as drawn. No action was taken on this item. At the hour of 7:45 p.m., Mayor R. Anderson declared the meeting recessed. At the hour of 7:56 p.m., Mayor R. Anderson reconvened the meeting to regular session. PUBLIC HEARING - re Rezoning Application RZ-1-95, by Don Lynn (Forest Homes Subdivision, Phase 3) (L-010-230) The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor R. Anderson opened the public hearing regarding RZ-1-95. 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 20, 1995 City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no protests were received. Acting Planning Director Keaney related the Planning Commission, at its meeting of February 14, 1995, recommended approval of the rezoning of Phase 3 of Forest Homes Subdivision from "U-FP" Unclassified District to "R-1" Single-Family Residential District. He stated the rezoning request is required by the Forest Homes Subdivision conditions of approval. It is the recommendation of both the Planning Commission and staff that the City Council ratify the Negative Declaration, approve the rezoning of the subject property, offer the ordinance for first reading by title only, and waive the full reading of said ordinance. Mayor R. Anderson determined there was no one present wishing to speak on the matter and closed the public hearing. MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member McGeorge, approving the rezoning as recommended and make the following findings regarding RZ-1-95: 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 25, 1995. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Council Member Kehoe offered Ordinance No. 2116 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Section 18.06.020 of the Redding Municipal Code relating to the rezoning of certain real property in the City of Redding to "R-1" Single-Family Residential District (RZ-1-95). MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member McGeorge, that the full reading of Ordinance No. 2116 be waived and the City Attorney be instructed to read the full title. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - re Modification of Variance Application V-4-94 and Use Permit UP-17-94, by Donald Nelson (7051 Riverside Drive) (L-010-390) The hour of 7:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor R. Anderson opened the public hearing regarding V-4-94 and UP-17-94. 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 Department recommendation dated March 8, 1995 9 03/21/95 City Clerk Strohmayer advised that no protests were received. Acting Planning Director Keaney related that Dr. Donald Nelson has submitted a request to slightly modify the line of fill previously allowed by Variance Application V-4-94 and Use Permit UP-17-94. This request would increase the amount of fill and allow Dr. Nelson to construct the residence he wishes and, at the same time, provide the setbacks from the floodplain as required under Chapter 18.47 of 30 feet from the river and 15 feet from the adjoining drainage inlet. Additionally, the elimination of the need for reduced setbacks will allow Condition 3, which requires dedication of an open-space easement, to be eliminated. Mr. Keaney opined that Dr. Nelson's request is reasonable. He explained the total amount of fill would increase; however, in relation to the entire site, the increase is small and does not alter the City Council's original intent. He stated that eliminating just the open-space requirement does not change the development criteria that were established to meet the City Council's original intent, which was to allow the construction of Dr. Nelson's home consistent with the existing home to the north with a minimum amount of fill. In staff's opinion, the remaining conditions of both the use permit and variance will ensure that the City Council's original intent is met. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council approve Dr. Nelson's request subject to the elimination of Condition 3 of Use Permit Application UP-17-94. Mr. Keaney noted that staff visited the location during high water flows and Dr. Nelson's estimation of the floodplain elevation appears to be accurate. Mayor R. Anderson determined there was no one present wishing to speak on the matter and closed the public hearing. Council Member Murray recommended that a condition be added requiring that no part of the structure extend beyond the line established from the back porch of the adjacent house to the north. MOTION: Made by Council Member Murray, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, to approve the request to modify Variance Application V-4-94 and Use Permit UP-17-94 as presented subject to the elimination of Condition 3 of UP-17-94 and direct staff to add a condition requiring that no part of the structure extend beyond the line established from the back porch of the adjacent house to the north.

He related the City has been approached by the 1994-95 class regarding its project which would light the Sacramento River Trail from Market Street through Caldwell Park. He noted the positive aspects of the project include community involvement through the raising of the necessary funds to purchase the lights and also assisting with their installation. He stated some of the negative issues associated with the project are outlined in the Report to City Council dated March 9, 1995, incorporated herein by reference, and include the following: vandalism, maintenance, monthly lighting costs, and criminal activity. Mr. Warren stated the City Council is being requested to provide conceptual approval of the project. Once conceptual approval is received, the class will attempt to deal with the associated problems and bring back a recommendation for the City Council's consideration at a later date. Lynn Arnett, Chair of the 1994-95 Leadership Redding class project, explained the class chose this project in order to allow more families to utilize the trail. He stated the class believes more trail users and families will bring safety to the area. He related that a survey of both trail users and non-trail users supported pursuing the lighting of the trail. He stated the project would be supported by in-kind contributions of labor and materials, and funds for the poles would be raised through the sale of memorial plaques to various individuals/organizations. He acknowledged the pros and cons associated with the project; however, he requested the City Council's endorsement of the project so the class can move forward and try to resolve some of the issues. He noted the class is only proposing to light the trail from dusk until curfew. He reiterated the purpose of the project is to encourage more families to utilize the trail. Dr. Allen Krohn, 1967 Midland Drive, President of the Greater Redding Chamber of Commerce, stated that two of Leadership Redding's primary goals are to develop leadership skills and get the participants involved in the community. Each class is requested to undertake a project which is unique or could not have normally been accomplished by any other means. He believed the proposed project met or exceeded all of the required criteria, and encouraged the City Council to support the project. Larry Morgon related the class participants are from all sectors of the community, both public and private. He displayed one of the lights being considered and explained the various features. Council Member Kehoe applauded the efforts of the 1994-95 Leadership Redding class. He stated that he was troubled, however, by the observations made by the Police Chief and the Director of Recreation and Parks and requested the class to provide data to alleviate these concerns. Mr. Arnett noted that various cities have been very successful in utilizing lights for trail purposes. He stated that telephone inquiries to some of these cities reveal increased trail activity for recreational purposes. He noted there would always be a drug element, with or without lights. He stated the class will not be able to solve issues associated with maintenance and vandalism, but can assist with the in- kind labor and materials and acquisitions of the light poles. In response to Mayor R. Anderson, Mr. Arnett stated the class was receptive to suggestions as to the style of light pole. Dean Degraffenreid, lighting representative, explained that eyes quickly adapt to the lights. He stated that complaints are sometimes received from neighbors when the tall light poles are utilized. He related the displayed light casts illumination in all directions, and not just the trail, thereby assisting with the safety element. 11 03/21/95 In response to Council Member Murray, Police Chief Blankenship believed the Police Department will have to respond to incidents which would not have occurred if the trail were not lit. He could not, however, determine the impact on personnel until statistics were recorded. Council Member Murray noted the project's objective is to benefit the community. He was not inclined, however, to support the project if it, in fact, increased crime. He questioned whether crime statistics might be available from other cities. Mr. Warren clarified that the class is only requesting the City Council's support of the concept in order to proceed with checking with various communities to address the noted concerns, i.e., the affect lighting had on crime, etc. He is concerned that if the lights are not installed due to crime factors, the City is essentially saying it does not want families in the park after dark. He supported contacting other communities to determine how they dealt with the various issues and securing the park for family usage at least until curfew. Council Member Kehoe noted his paramount concern is public safety. It was the consensus of the City Council that the 1994-95 Leadership Redding Class contact other cities with lighted trails to determine if the lighting had any effect on crime-related activities. MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member P. Anderson, to provide conceptual approval and authorize the 1994-95 Leadership Redding Class to pursue its class project to light the Sacramento River Trail. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES AND PROJECTED USE OF FUNDS FOR 1995-96 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDING (G-100-030-040) Assistant City Manager Perry related the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) concluded a two-month process of reviewing and ranking project applications for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding and finalizing the Committee's recommendations to the City Council for the 1995-96 CDBG Program. He explained the following funds are available for distribution: a) public service activities - $147,600; b) Housing Rehabilitation program - $216,500; c) planning activities - $99,400; d) administration - $99,400; and e) nonpublic service activities - $526,100, for a total of $1,089,000. Mr. Perry stated that during the Committee proceedings, several issues regarding the future of the CDBG program and the use of CDBG funding arose. The Committee expressed concern regarding agencies requesting CDBG funds year-after-year. Further, the Committee was concerned that many agencies were becoming too dependent upon CDBG funds and were losing motivation to look elsewhere for ongoing funding sources. Under current Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations, it is not appropriate for the CDBG Program to continually fund Public Service Activities unless there is a measurable increase in the level or type of existing service. Given the possibility of a reduction in HUD funding by the Federal government, the Committee generally chose to assist those agencies trying to help themselves by utilizing a variety of funding sources, as reflected in the projects selected for funding. The Committee also looked favorably upon projects addressing root causes of problems rather than band-aid approaches. A summary of the programs and funding levels recommended by the Committee are included in the Report to City Council dated March 21, 1995, incorporated herein by reference. Mr. Perry related the Final Statement for the CDBG Program will be included the Consolidated Plan as required by HUD. He stated the first required meeting was to gather public input regarding current community needs and priorities which then can be addressed in the development of the Plan. Staff conducted this meeting as a community forum in an informal setting on February 23, 1995. The second public meeting is required to be held prior to the end of the comment period specifically to accept public comment on the draft Plan. He explained that, if the City Council desires, the CDAC can conduct the required public hearing. 12 03/21/95 After the public comment period, the Consolidated Plan, along with all comments received and staff's response to those comments, would be presented to the City Council for review and approval, and subsequently submitted to HUD in mid-May 1995. It is the recommendation of the CDAC that the City Council accept the Proposed Community Development Objectives and Projected Use of Funds for 1995-96 CDBG funding as presented. Additionally, it is recommended the CDAC be designated to conduct the required public hearing to accept public comment regarding the draft Consolidated Plan. In response to Council Member Murray, Mr. Perry stated that according to HUD statutes, the maximum amount of funds which can be utilized for public service is 15 percent. In response to Council Member Murray, Bill Cox, Vice Chair of the CDAC, conveyed the CDAC utilizes the matrix system to track the ability of the project applicant to meet the CDBG requirements. He noted the Committee spent considerable time discussing and considering funds for projects based on a number of factors, including whether or not there were enough funds to benefit a particular project which may have scored higher or if those funds would have a substantial benefit to a program which scored lower. Overall, the total numbers utilizing the matrix system were very close. Additionally, this year CDBG funding is not to be used for ongoing projects, therefore, funds in some instances were moved from some higher scoring projects to ones which represented new innovative projects. Council Member Murray questioned whether the evaluation process will be perceived as discouraging to future applicants if the Committee does not hold firm to the matrix system. Mr. Cox replied the matrix is only intended as a guideline and there is usually some deviation from it each year. MOTION: Made by Council Member P. Anderson, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, to accept the Community Development Advisory Committee's (CDAC) proposed Community Development Objectives and Project Use of Funds for 1995-96 CDBG funding and designate the CDAC to conduct the required public hearing to accept public comment regarding the draft Consolidated Plan. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes REDDING GENERAL PLAN REVISION (G-030) Assistant City Manager Perry recalled the City Council, at it workshop on January 12, 1995, requested staff to submit a proposal to review the Redding General Plan within a two-year time frame utilizing existing staff. Accordingly, he provided an overview of the Report to City Council dated March 13, 1995, incorporated herein by reference, which included a scope of work, a funding plan, and a staffing plan. He related the work would essentially be done over two to two and a half years with the last six months being mainly wrap-up and printing. If the City Council concurs with the recommended approach, it is recommended that staff be directed to proceed. Council Member P. Anderson did not want a moratorium on annexations to negatively affect economic development and the ability to create jobs. Council Member Murray requested that copies of the revised land use maps be distributed either before or with copies of the draft general plan. He noted that the timeline could be further compressed by conducting joint public hearings with the Planning Commission and the City Council. Council Member Kehoe asked what the downside risks would be if the City did not acquire the air quality grant. Mr. Perry believed the City had a reasonable chance of acquiring the grant; however, given the worst- case scenario, the City Council would need to decide whether to use general fund monies or see if certain aspects could be financed by Redding Redevelopment Agency. 13 03/21/95 In response to Mayor R. Anderson, Mr. Perry stated the Shasta College area is included in the Stillwater annexation. MOTION: Made by Council Member Murray, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, to proceed with the revision of the Redding General Plan as outlined in the Report to City Council dated March 13, 1995. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes SET PUBLIC HEARING - re Rezoning Application RZ-4-95, Mountain Lakes Industrial Park, by the City of Redding (Mountain Lakes Industrial Park, Unit 3) (L-010-230) Council Members McGeorge and Murray abstained from discussion and voting on this matter. Acting Planning Director Keaney related that staff is recommending that a public hearing be set for 7:00 p.m., April 4, 1995, to consider the request to rezone Unit 3 of the Mountain Lakes Industrial Park from "PI" Planned Industrial District to "M-2" Industrial District. MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member P. Anderson, to set a public hearing for 7:00 p.m., April 4, 1995, to consider the request to rezone Unit 3 of the Mountain Lakes Industrial Park from "PI" Planned Industrial District to "M-2" Industrial District (RZ-4-95). Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - P. Anderson, Kehoe and R. Anderson Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Abstain: Council Members - McGeorge and Murray EVALUATION OF BID PROCEDURES FOR PERSONAL COMPUTERS; and BID SCHEDULE NO. 2910 - Personal Computers (A-070-090) Director of Administrative Services Starman recalled the City Council, at its meeting of January 17, 1995, rejected Bid Schedule No. 2898, purchase of personal computers, due to ambiguities contained in the specifications and authorized staff to rebid 20 personal computers. The City Council also considered what methodology should be used to bid the personal computers and ultimately endorsed staff's recommendation to rebid the computers using a list of 10 national manufacturers that are consistently rated high for service and reliability. Mr. Starman explained that subsequent to the second bid opening on February 21, 1995, whereby Delta Engineering Systems was determined to be the low bidder at a price of $66,900.52, two local computer manufacturers and one City Council Member raised questions regarding the methodology utilized by the City. Specifically, the two firms were concerned that the list of 10 national manufacturers precluded them from bidding their products, i.e., personal computers manufactured by their companies. Mr. Starman stated that staff believes the methodology used to bid the personal computers, as outlined in the Report to City Council dated March 9, 1995, incorporated herein by reference, was appropriate. However, given the aforementioned concerns, staff felt it was important for the City Council to revisit this issue before awarding Bid Schedule No. 2910. It is the recommendation of staff that the City continue to utilize a "short list" of national manufacturers and explicitly specify the components desired. Mr. Starman acknowledged there were some disadvantages associated with this methodology, however, believed it to be the best way to protect the City's considerable investment in computer technology. He noted the process still enables local vendors to compete for the City's business, while offering the City some protection in the event that the vendor goes out of business. Mr. Starman noted a letter was received from Jon Fredricks, President of J2 Wholesale Distributors, regarding the subject bid proposal. He 14 03/21/95 related that Mr. Fredricks was unable to attend the meeting this evening. He stated that representatives from other interested companies were also invited to attend this evening and articulate their concerns. Council Member P. Anderson concurred with staff's recommendation, however, she stressed that each acquisition is different and must be tailored accordingly. In response to Council Member Kehoe, Mr. Starman pointed out that some of Mr. Fredricks comments are not practical in the public sector. He noted Mr. Fredricks' suggestion to specify a standard architecture might have an opposite effect for national manufacturers which are product specific. He stated that staff spent a considerable amount of time talking with Mr. Fredricks and concurred some of his points are valid. He noted Mr. Fredricks does not believe reliance on 10 national manufacturers will guarantee they will not go out of business. Staff's position is that the demise of a national manufacturer is less likely than a smaller manufacturer. Additionally, staff believes the requiring of warranties and service contracts will provide recourse to a local vendor, as well as the national manufacturer. In response to Council Member McGeorge, Mr. Starman stated that the City does not have any history with other service manufacturers, as it has primarily purchased IBM products. He explained that purchasing one unit in order to determine if it is compatible with existing equipment would be difficult as the City does not currently have the staff expertise to perform the necessary benchmark tests. Council Member Murray found Mr. Fredricks' letter to be extremely informative and believed it demonstrated how the local business community could aid the City in areas where it does not have the required expertise. He interpreted some of Mr. Fredricks' remarks to mean there are more factors which should be considered when evaluating a bid than just the price. He favored taking advantage of Mr. Fredricks' offer to provide unpaid consulting services to the City to assist the City in the acquisition of the computer equipment contingent upon Mr. Fredricks agreeing not to bid any City computer contracts for a period of three years. He noted that six of the ten national companies noted in the bid specifications have been in Chapter 11, therefore, he concurred there would be no guarantee these national companies would be in existence longer than one of the local companies. He viewed computer equipment as having a limited life. He supported purchasing the equipment locally and believed it would cost less to do so. Council Member P. Anderson stated that she has purchased all of her personal computer equipment locally from three different manufacturers and had no problem transferring the maintenance. She noted that the school districts and the Shasta-Trinity ROP purchase computer equipment from local non-national providers. She suggested contacting these various agencies to determine their level of satisfaction. She concurred with Council Member Murray's observation that computer equipment has a limited life and would generally be replaced either partially or entirely within two years due to growing technology. Council Member P. Anderson withdrew her motion to direct staff to continue to utilize a "short list" of national manufacturers and explicitly specify the components desired. Council Member Kehoe withdrew his second to the motion. MOTION: Made by Council Member Murray, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, to direct the City Attorney to enter into a no-cost consultant contract with Jon Fredricks of J2 Wholesale Distributors to establish bid criteria for City personal computers with the following stipulations: Mr. Fredricks would not be permitted to bid on future City computer contracts for three years; and said offer is to be contingent upon Mr. Fredricks agreeing to dedicate sufficient time to establish a package to be rebid as soon as possible. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes 15 03/21/95 MOTION: Made by Council Member Murray, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, to reject all bids received in conjunction with Bid Schedule No. 2910, computer equipment. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RESOLUTION - Intention to amend contract with Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) to provide Third Level of 1959 Survivor Benefits to employees in the International Association of Fire Fighters AFL-CIO Local Union 1934 RESOLUTION - Approving agreement with PERS releasing 1959 Survivor Benefits, assets and liabilities into the Third Level of 1959 Survivor Benefit Pool ORDINANCE - Authorizing amendment to said contract (P-100-050-050 & P-110-230) Director of Personnel Bristow stated that one element of the completed bargaining with the International Association of Fire Fighters AFL-CIO Local Union 1934, representing certain Fire Department employees, was to have the third level of 1959 Survivor Benefits become effective as soon as practicable. PERS has informed the City this increased benefit will not raise the City's contribution rate in the near future due to the surplus in the City's PERS survivor benefit account. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council adopt the resolution of intention to amend the contract with PERS relative to the third level of 1959 Survivor Benefits, adopt the resolution approving the agreement to release 1959 Survivor Benefits, assets and liabilities into the third level of 1959 Survivor Benefit Pool, offer the necessary ordinance for first reading by title only, and waive the full reading of said ordinance. MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member McGeorge, that Resolution No. 95-087 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding declaring its intention to approve an amendment to the contract between the Board of Administration of the Public Employees' Retirement System and the City Council of the City of Redding to provide third level of 1959 Survivor Benefits to Fire Department employees covered by the Memorandum of Understanding with the International Association of Fire Fighters AFL-CIO Local Union 1934.

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. 95-088 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. Council Member Kehoe offered Ordinance No. 2117 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding authorizing an amendment to the contract between the City Council of the City of Redding and the Board of Administration of the California Public Employees' Retirement System to provide third level of 1959 Survivor Benefits to employees covered by the Memorandum of Understanding with the International Association of Fire Fighters AFL-CIO Local Union 1934. 16 03/21/95 MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member McGeorge, that the full reading of Ordinance No. 2117 be waived and the City Attorney be instructed to read the full title. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes ORDINANCE - Authorizing Police Department to give unclaimed bicycles or toys to charitable or non-profit organizations for purpose of preventing juvenile delinquency (P-150-150) Police Chief Blankenship explained the proposed ordinance would permit the Police Department to give unclaimed bicycles or toys to non-profit organizations involved in juvenile delinquency programs. He noted these items have previously been auctioned by an auctioneer who would charge the City a 20 percent fee. The monies obtained from these items were returned to the General Fund. Chief Blankenship related that Section 217 of the California Welfare and Institution Code allows the governing body of a city to adopt, by ordinance, a policy allowing the Police Department to give away unclaimed bicycles to the probation officer, welfare department, or any charitable or non-profit organization participating in juvenile delinquency programs. The quality bicycles would provide incentives for at-risk juveniles who are part of a structured program. The juveniles will be held accountable for completing the program prior to receiving the bicycle. The City would still be able to auction all other bicycles or toys on an as-needed-basis and return the monies to the General Fund. It is the recommendation of staff that the City Council offer the ordinance for first reading by title only and waive the full reading of said ordinance. Council Member McGeorge stated this program has been successful in other areas. He conveyed that in most instances, without this type of program, juveniles would not have another opportunity to obtain bicycles. The recipients are required to earn the bicycle and through the course of the program gain responsibility. Council Member Kehoe offered Ordinance No. 2118 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding adding Section 11.32.080 to the Redding Municipal Code, authorizing the use of unclaimed bicycles or toys for the prevention of juvenile delinquency. MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member P. Anderson, that the full reading of Ordinance No. 2118 be waived and the City Attorney be instructed to read the full title. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RESOLUTION - Public convenience and necessity requiring the acquisition for road purposes a fee interest in a portion of real property owned by the Corporation of the President of the Gridley, California Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Assessor's Parcel 068-130- 25) regarding the Churn Creek Road Widening Project (C-070-010 & S-070-100) City Attorney Wingate explained the City Council is being requested to consider and adopt a resolution of public convenience and necessity to initiate eminent domain proceedings with regard to the property owned by the Corporation of the President of the Gridley, California Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This acquisition is necessary in order to provide for the right-of-way for the widening of Churn Creek Road. To date, the land owner has not advised the City of a desire to appear before the City Council this evening. Mr. Wingate related the City Council must determine if public interest and necessity require the project; the project is planned or located in a manner that would be most compatible with the general public good and the least private injury; and the property sought to be acquired is necessary for the project. He stressed that questions regarding the amount of compensation to be paid are not part of the proceeding and should not be considered in determining whether a resolution of public convenience and necessity should be adopted. 17 03/21/95 MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member McGeorge, that Resolution No. 95-089 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding finding that public convenience and necessity require the acquisition for road purposes a fee interest in a portion of real property owned by the Corporation of the President of the Gridley, California Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints, commonly referred to as Assessor's Parcel Number 068-130-25, for the Churn Creek Road Widening Project.

Anderson Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 95-089 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS (A-150-251 & E-120-900 & G-030) Mayor R. Anderson stated a letter was received from the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) notifying the City that the applicants of the Knighton Road/I-5 Annexation No. 94-2 have withdrawn their application. He related the truck stop changed ownership on March 19, 1995. City Manager Warren noted that an agenda item will be prepared for the City Council's consideration to determine whether the City wants to pursue the annexation of its property. Mayor R. Anderson conveyed that a letter was received from Congressman Herger regarding the City's opposition to President Clinton's proposal to sell federal power marketing agencies. Congressman Herger shares the City concern regarding the proposal's impact on the Redding community. He stated that Congressman Herger will be meeting with representatives from various groups to discuss the proposal and invited the City's participation. Council Member Murray stated he attended the meeting with Congressman Herger. He related that representatives from each of the Western Area Power Administration's (WAPA) dependent agencies within Congressman Herger's district were present and agreed to work together by providing information on alternatives to the sale of WAPA which are less disruptive. Vi Klaseen, 2295 Oakridge Drive, noted the Civic Center advisory committee is comprised of 21 men and four women. She referenced the three very active women's groups present this evening and believed the City Council could find qualified women to assist with the General Plan update. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, at the hour of 9:35 p.m., Mayor R. Anderson declared the meeting adjourned.
