1994-95 LEADERSHIP REDDING CLASS PROJECT
- Lighting of Sacramento River
Trail
(B-080-600-243 & P-050-460-700)
City Manager Warren provided an overview of the Report to City Council
dated September 1, 1995, incorporated herein by reference, regarding the
1994-95 Leadership Redding class proposal to light approximately 6,800
feet of the Sacramento River Trail. He explained that the lights would
stretch between the parking lot adjacent to the future arboretum and the
Elks Lodge. He stated he favored accepting Leadership Redding's offer
to install the lights along the trail and agreeing to pay for the
electricity and maintenance. He believed, however, it was important for
the City Council to listen to the concerns of the Police Chief. He
noted the discussion this evening and the final decision should provide
that much more impetus to get to the root of the problem through the
proposed Mayor's Crime Prevention Committee.
Lynn Arnett, Chairman of the Leadership Redding Class' Light the River
Trail, provided an overview of his letter dated August 30, 1995,
incorporated herein by reference, which outlined why the class chose the
project, the project description, and responses received from the cities
of Reno, Nevada, Eugene, Oregon, and Corvallis, Oregon. Mr. Arnett
stated that the class hopes to have the project completed to coincide
with the ribbon cutting ceremonies for Turtle Bay Park in the summer of
1997. He stressed that the proposal is to only have the lights on
between dusk and curfew. He submitted a petition signed by 36 residents
in the vicinity of the Sacramento River Trail that favor lighting the
trail.
In response to Mayor Kehoe, Mr. Arnett clarified that he had not
convened the City Council to discuss the subject proposal. He believed
the comments in Mr. Delanty's letter were a misunderstanding.
Mark Woodward, 1974 Merle Drive, related that the project would be
funded through in-kind donations from the community and the support of
other organizations within the community. He stated the class does not
anticipate a change in crime and that the lights may actually detour
some of the crime problems in areas not currently lit.
Larry Morgon discussed the two types of lights currently being
considered by the class: bollard and vintage lighting. He also provided
samples of a fiberglass pole which could be buried directly into the
ground, thereby saving money on footings. He noted the pole is
corrosion resistant, non-conductive and virtually maintenance free. He
8
09/05/95
reviewed the map depicting existing lighting along the trail, as well as
the proposed lighting.
Thomas Badger, 2707 Lake Redding Drive, expressed opposition to the
lighting of the Sacramento River Trail. He believed this was the first
step toward lighting the entire trail and related that the residents to
the west are opposed. He opined that the Police Department is already
understaffed and lighting the trail would only add to that burden and
viewed the project as frivolous.
Harry Delanty, 3357 Harlan Drive, stated that the comments made in his
previous correspondence regarding Mr. Arnett's comments to him were
taken directly from his telephone message tape and he offered to provide
the tape to the City. He provided an overview of his letter dated
September 5, 1995, incorporated herein by reference, which stated
reasons for his opposition to the 1994-95 Leadership Redding Class'
proposal to light the Sacramento River Trail.
Dennis Buchanan, 2795 Lake Redding Drive, expressed his opposition to
the project.
Police Chief Blankenship commended the Leadership Redding class for
attempting to secure the trail for the community. He stated that he
could only provide the City Council with opinions as to the effect
lights would have on crime in the area. He related the only way the
City is going to actually know if the lights cause a problem is through
experience. He believed, however, that more individuals on the trail
would result in additional police assistance. He emphasized that he is
neither for nor against the proposed project.
Council Member P. Anderson questioned why the park closed at 10:00 p.m.
and the trail closed at 11:00 p.m. Chief Blankenship responded that the
City has an ordinance which permits the Police Department to close the
park at 10:00 p.m. and did not know why the closure time for the trail
was different.
Chief Blankenship related that the proposed area to be lit is easily
accessible by the Police Department via vehicle. He noted that if there
were a significant increase in criminal activities, the lights could be
turned off.
Council Member McGeorge recommended possibly extending the lights across
Diestelhorst bridge to allow individuals to utilize that parking lot
versus extending the lighting to the Elks Club.
In response to Mayor Kehoe, Assistant City Manager Perry indicated that
the proposed project would not require an environmental assessment only
a Negative Declaration.
Council Member P. Anderson believed the project would be very attractive
aesthetically, especially if the lights were turned off at a reasonable
time. She did, however, acknowledge the concerns of the residents, as
well as the Chief of Police.
Mayor Kehoe viewed this as a very difficult decision, and he stressed
that the decision needs to be balanced with the issue of public safety.
Because the area from the Senior Citizens Hall through the area to the
North Market Street bridge has existing lights, he was inclined to
support the placement of additional lights in that area. He opined that
the area under the North Market Street bridge to the arboretum parking
lot is isolated and difficult to monitor. He recommended having the
Leadership Redding class work with the Police Department in determining
a pilot area. If the pilot is successful, the City Council could then
consider the placement of additional lights.
Council Member Murray stated that the mere fact that the City Council is
having a debate over this issue indicates there is a problem, with or
without the lights. He hoped that the Mayor's Crime Prevention
Committee would be able to assist in helping to solve this problem. He
favored having the Leadership Redding class proceed with the project in
its entirety. He indicated that the proposal does not, however, address
the following issues: 1) replanting disturbed areas; 2) effects of
9
09/05/95
the project, if any, on trees in the area; 3) automatic timers; and 4)
monies for the Public Works Department's involvement with the project.
He recommended that an impound account be established to provide for
five-years maintenance costs based on surveys of other communities. He
suggested that the Recreation and Parks Commission select the light
standards and that both the Recreation and Parks and Public Works
Departments oversee the project. In order to assure public safety, he
stressed that the Chief of Police should be given the ultimate authority
to discontinue lighting the trail at any time.
Council Member McGeorge concurred that the Chief of Police should be
given the ultimate authority to discontinue lighting the trail at any
time.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Murray, seconded by Council Member
McGeorge, to direct the following: 1) enter into an agreement with the
1994-95 Leadership Redding Class which provides lighting as proposed,
with the western terminus being the parking lot at Diestelhorst Bridge;
2) agreement is to contain a provision whereby the Leadership Redding
Class establishes an impound account to provide for maintenance costs
for five years based upon a survey of cities with similar lighting
projects; 3) Recreation and Parks and Public Works Departments are to
oversee the approval and installation process; 4) The Recreation and
Parks Commission is directed to select the specific light standard; 5)
The Chief of Police is given absolute authority over the hours of
operation based on public safety concerns; and 6) The lights are to be
turned off at 10:00 p.m.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - P. Anderson, McGeorge and Murray
Noes: Council Members - Kehoe
Absent: Council Members - R. Anderson
