SALINAS PEPPERS - re Possible relocation of the professional minor league baseball team to
Redding
(R-006)
City Manager Warren outlined the Report to City Council dated December 12, 1997, incorporated
herein by reference, indicating the Club's possible relocation to Redding. Mr. Warren noted that the
team is requesting two things: 1) An indication from the City that it supports the relocation to
Redding, and 2) a commitment from the City that it will authorize staff participation to develop a plan
to create a permanent stadium. However, no financial commitment will be made to build, or partially
fund, a stadium at this time.
Council Member Kehoe requested the City Manager to clarify the financial commitments of the City.
Mr. Warren stated that a five-year capital project plan was recently approved by the Redevelopment
Agency and the City's general fund account will not have monies available for the next 10 years for
a stadium.
In response to Council Member McGeorge's concerns regarding staff costs, Mr. Warren stated that
it would not be a significant economic burden or impact on staff at this time.
Mayor Murray introduced Patrick Elster, owner of the Salinas Peppers. Mr. Elster thanked the City
Council for considering the request. He said the reason the team would like to relocate to Redding
is because of Redding's strong sense of community. According to Mr. Elster, the team will provide
low cost and old-fashioned family entertainment.
Mr. Elster indicated that he is having discussions with Dr. Treadway, President of Shasta College,
about constructing a temporary facility at the college where the Peppers could play games for
approximately 1-3 years until a permanent baseball park in Redding is established.
Tom Spade shared his enthusiasm in regard to the relocation of the Salinas Peppers and encouraged
the City Council to give its blessing and non-financial support to the club. Mr. Spade offered to assist
if needed. The City Council Members endorsed the City Manager's plan to work with Patrick Elster
to make the relocation possible.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member McGeorge, to authorize
the Mayor to send a letter to the owners of the Peppers stating the City's support of the Club's
relocation to Redding arid willingness to work with the Club on the development of a permanent
facility. However, the City is not making a financial commitment to build, or partially fund, a
permanent stadium at this time. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
CIVIC CENTER- Landscape Design Budget
(C-050-025)
Assistant City Manager Perry provided an overview of the Report to City Council dated December
10, 1997, incorporated herein by reference, in regard to the Civic Center Landscape Master Plan.
Mr. Perry displayed the master landscape plan and outlined the work to be done to meet minimum
code requirements. He estimated that the cost will be approximately $650,000 to $850,000 to meet
the minimum requirements, and the budget currently contains $300,000 for landscape installation and
$30,000 for design services. Mr. Perry proposed that the landscape planning budget be increased to
$650,000 and the design budget be increased to $55,000. Mr. Perry stated that the actual award of
added landscape would be subject to developing additional funding or obtain savings in other areas
over the next two years.
Therefore, it is recommended that the architect's contract be amended by approving Addendum No.
4 increasing the present landscape design contract from $30,000 to $55,000.
12/16/97
296
MOTION: Made by Council Member Anderson, seconded by Council Member Kehoe, to approve
Addendum No. 4 to the architectural design contract with Nichols, Melburg& Rossetto to increase
the present landscape design budget from $30,000 to $55,000. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
MT. SHASTA MALL EXPANSION - (Item pulled from Agenda)
REQUEST BY MT. SHASTA MALL - Use of Canby Road for parking and transit stop for RABA
(M-010-400 & R-010-350)
Assistant City Manager Perry provided an overview of the Report to City Council dated December
9, 1997, incorporated herein by reference.
Mr. Perry conveyed that staff has had discussion with the Mt. Shasta Mall regarding expansion by
bringing in another anchor department store. To do so, the Mall needs to add parking. Therefore,
the Mt. Shasta Mall has requested that the City convert Canby Road to two lanes with parking on
either side and lease that parking to the Mall for 50-99 years. This would create 108 parking spaces.
In addition, they have requested the relocation of the RABA transit stop from the Mall to Canby
Road at the northeast corner of the Mall.
It is recommended that Council give conceptual approval to restripe Canby Road to two lanes with
diagonal parking for non-exclusive use by the Mall; the relocation of a transit stop on Canby Road;
and license the parking to the Mt. Shasta Mall for 20 years without charge subject to the addition of
Gottschalks department store. Mr. Perry noted that the reason for a 20-year term is that staff feels
the City should not be placed in a situation of having to buy out any longer term than that.
MOTION: Made by Council Member McGeorge, seconded by Council Member Anderson, to grant
conceptual approval to: 1) restripe Canby Road to two lanes with diagonal parking; 2) license the
parking to the Mt. Shasta Mall parking for 20 years without charge subject to the addition of a
Gottschalks; and 3) authorize the establishment of a transit stop on Canby Road.

EVERGREEN FACILITY - re Lease at Redding Municipal Airport
(C-070-100 & A-090-100p/ Q-050-/DO
Development Services Director Swanson outlined the Report to City Council dated December 11,
1997, incorporated herein by reference, regarding the request to negotiate with Airborne Express for
lease of the Evergreen facility at Redding Municipal Airport.
Mr. Swanson explained that Redding Aero Enterprises notified the City of its intent to terminate its
current lease of the Evergreen facility and occupy the building IASCO now occupies. Therefore, a
Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued and proposals were received from Airborne Express and
Ascot Aviation, Inc. After serious consideration, the evaluation team, comprised of Deputy City
Manager Starman, Development Services Director Swanson, and Airports Manager Dinger,
recommended entering into negotiations with Airborne Express for a long-term lease of the
Evergreen facility.
Council Member Kehoe requested clarification on the evaluation criteria matrix, and how staff
determined the results of the proposals. Mr. Swanson explained that the evaluation team reviewed
the proposals and ranked them on the basis of their experience, financial strength, proposed plan of
use and operation of facility, and financial return to the City. The Airborne Express proposal ranked
very high in terms of its financial strength and stability, and overall benefit to the Redding Municipal
Airport.
Mayor Murray questioned why an RFP was issued for the lease. He opined that the lease of the
Evergreen facility should not be handled like a personal service contract. Mr. Swanson replied that
staff was directed to use the RFP process the last time the Evergreen facility was leased.
Robert Scott, 4248 Sudden Wind Court, General Manager of Ascot Aviation, requested that the City
Council lease the Evergreen facility to Ascot Aviation. He said it will enhance the airport; maintain
12/16/97
297
existing jobs, as well as create new employment opportunities, and he pointed out that Ascot out bid
Airborne Express.
Mr. Scott stated that Bank of America has approved their funding, Exxon will support the installation
of a fuel farm and bonds are being secured to guarantee performance. He pointed out that Ascot's
proposal offered $4,000 per month in rent and Airborne Express only offered $3,000 per month. Mr.
Scott proposed a compromise solution to offer Airborne Express a sublease in the facility.
Mark Anderson, 2557 Templeton, stated that he lives in Redding and owns a business in Anderson.
He concurred with Mr. Scott's proposal because he is also concerned about maintaining jobs, and he
pointed out that fuel costs will be more competitive if there are two fixed base operators.
Rogers McKinnon, 22445 Frisbee Lane, Palo Cedro, stated that he is a pilot and investor in Ascot
Aviation. He expressed support for Ascot's proposal and conveyed that they are experienced and
will be able to give IASCO's employees jobs.
Cookie Kravitz, 783 Bond Boulevard, Anderson, supported Ascot's proposal.
Council Member Kehoe questioned if a sublease as proposed by Mr. Scott is a feasible alternative.
Dave Parrish, 19289 Morning Mist, Lakehead, representing Airborne Express, stated that the
possibility of sharing tenancy was discussed, but there is no firm agreement and Airborne Express
wants to be in the driver's seat. Mr. Parrish noted that Airborne is a viable entity and has a long-term
presence in the community. He explained that Airborne is out of space and wants to expand its
operations at the airport. Mr. Parrish pointed out that if Airborne expands, it will mean additional
jobs to the community.
Council Member Anderson expressed concern regarding Ascot Aviation's timeline.
Noting that both businesses enhance the Airport, Council Member Anderson asked if a solution can
be worked out to benefit both companies.
Mr. Swanson conveyed that Redding Aero Enterprises will vacate the Evergreen facility in January,
and he suggested that the construction of a new facility be considered.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member Anderson to defer this
item to the next regular or special City Council meeting, and direct City staff to meet with Airborne
Express and Ascot Aviation representatives to negotiate a win-win arrangement for lease of the
Evergreen facility.
The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
It was the consensus of City Council to call a Special meeting to discuss this matter, if necessary.

bargaining units: IBEW - Maintenance Unit; IBEW - Electric Unit; SEIU - Clerical, Technical &
Professional Unit and Supervisory/Confidential Unit and Peace Officers Association of Redding
(RPOA) - Miscellaneous Unit.
Mr. Bachman explained that the City provides retirement benefits through the California Public
Employees' Retirement System (Ca1PERS). Miscellaneous employees are covered under the
CaIPERS "2%at 60" retirement formula. However, over the past 15 months, the City has agreed to
language in contracts with five separate bargaining units that would allow the City Council to provide
an enhanced retirement package in lieu of a cost of living adjustment in July, 1998. With the
enhanced retirement option, the City would convert to the CaIPERS "2% at 55" formula for all
miscellaneous employees.

PROPOSED ORDINANCE - re Public Nuisances and Code Enforcement
(C-110-100 & A-030-070)
City Attorney Wingate provided an overview of the Report to the City Council dated December 11,
1997, incorporated herein by reference, regarding the proposed ordinance relating to Public
• Nuisances and Code Enforcement.
12/16/97
299
Mr. Wingate explained that at the December 2, 1997, City Council meeting, Council Members
expressed concern regarding the amount of money required to be paid by a property owner to
displaced tenants when the City requires the rental property be vacated due to serious safety concerns
not caused by the tenants. However, under proposed Chapter 9.11, if these same tenants were
required to vacate the premises due to serious safety concerns, the property owner would be required
to pay the dislocated tenants less than the California Relocation Assistance Act.
A letter from Jack Lynch dated December 18, 1997, was read into the record and is incorporated by
reference herein. Mr. Lynch expressed his support for the proposal ordinance and suggested some
modifications.
Council Member Kehoe asked City Attorney Wingate to comment on items 2, 3, and 7 of Mr.
Lynch's letter. Noting that item number 2 refers to the establishment of a standing citizens' review
committee, Mr. Wingate indicated he has no objection to meeting with such a group. Regarding item
number 3, the posting of a fine prior to a hearing, Mr. Wingate stated that the process provides for
a waiver of the advance deposit if it constitutes a hardship. Regarding item number 7 recommending
an appeals process other than through the Municipal Court, Mr. Wingate stated that if the City is
unable to obtain the cooperation of a property owner, the property owner is notified and an
administrative hearing is held. An Administrative hearing officer will make a determination whether
the City has sustained its burden that a violation of the code exists.
Mayor Murray submitted comments and proposed changes to the ordinance and raised questions
regarding enforcement of the ordinance. Mr. Wingate stated that the City Safety Enforcement Team
(C SET) concluded that the most comprehensive method for code enforcement is the ordinance
proposed at the December 2, 1997, meeting; however, CSET also believes that adopting Mayor
Murray's proposed changes to the ordinance will not result in a serious revision of the ordinance, and
will not diminish overall code enforcement efforts in the City.
Mayor Murray inquired whether the Planning Commission could hear the appeals of an administrative
decision to which Mr. Wingate responded affirmatively.
Council Member Anderson questioned why government agencies are exempt from the ordinance.
Mr. Wingate explained that the City has no jurisdiction over other governmental agencies.
Council Member Anderson asked Mr. Wingate to respond to Mr. Lynch's item number 5 regarding
the cost of relocation. Mr. Wingate agreed that the cost of relocation is appropriate in justified cases.
Staff believes it is imperative that occupants be removed from buildings with severe code violations
which threaten life and safety. He explained that provisions of the code require the concurrence of
the City Attorney and he explained that if there is no approved policy for the relocation process, the
City could be liable.
It is recommended that Council revise the Redding Municipal Code as proposed by adding Chapters
1.13 regarding Administrative Citations; adding Chapter 9.09 Neglected Vacant Buildings; adding
Chapter 9.11, Relocation Benefits for Displaced Tenants; adding Title 15 regarding abatement; and
miscellaneous/clean-up revisions relating to code enforcement, incorporating all or some of Mayor
Murray's proposed changes and CSET's proposed revision to section 9.10.030 subsection C3.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member McGeorge to approve:
1) staffs recommendation revising the Redding Municipal Code as proposed; 2) incorporating all or
some of Mayor Murray's proposed changes and CSET's proposed revision to section 9.10.030
subsection C3, and 3)the Planning Commission will provide oversight. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Kehoe offered Ordinance No. 2204 for first reading, an ordinance of the City of
Redding amending the Redding Municipal Code relating to public nuisances and code enforcement,
including the provision for administrative citations, neglected vacant buildings, property blight,
relocation benefits for displaced tenants, and abatement of dangerous buildings, substandard buildings
and public nuisances.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Kehoe, seconded by Council Member McGeorge to waive the
full reading of Ordinance No. 2204. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
