Said memo is incorporated herein by reference. The report g pointed out a preliminary proposal from Mr. Calvin Pierce to restore the Jr building in exchange for a lease-back agreement of the second floor. Several other options were also described. ,5-/7 III It is the Council Subcommittee' s recommendation that the City Council s reject Mr. Pierce's restoration proposal and pursue Option No. 1 to keep the building and finance the restoration cost through rental revenue. It is further recommended that the following actions be taken: • 1 1 . The City Manager be authorized to enter into a lease agreement with tenants fulfilling the financial goal of Option No. 1 . 2. That approximately $60,000 in revenue sharing funds be set aside this year to be used for weatherproofing the building and making minor interior repairs so that it can be leased. 3. The current tenant be notified that they can occupy the building for a • one to two-year period under the current lease arrangement which will allow time for Items 1 and 2 above to be completed. Councilman Demsher thanked Mr. King for his interest in the Old City Hall and stated that the building means a great deal to the residents of this 1 community but no funds are available to restore it. He noted that the acceleration of deterioration over this past winter has been great and a decision needs to be made now if the building is to be saved. Councilman Demsher recommended that Council follow the recommendation of the Subcom- mittee. illMayor Gard felt the report was excellent and noted that the community has expressed its desire to preserve the building. Councilman Demsher pointed out that the $60,000 of revenue sharing funds would provide for some essential repairs which need to be done right away. He said Old City Hall has a lot of history behind it and is a landmark to all of northern California. He noted that it may be necessary to have a 5/16/83 150 fund-raising drive to do some of the other necessary repairs. Councilman Kirkpatrick concurred that the building should be preserved.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes REQUESTS TO SERVE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IN CITY PARKS Parks and Recreation Director Riley reviewed his report to Council dated May 12, 1983. He pointed out that the permit procedure set forth by the City Council for the use of alcoholic beverages in City Parks, has been very successful . He noted that the present ordinance requires that re- quests to serve alcoholic beverages be submitted to the Parks and Recrea- tion Commission then to the City Council . Mr. Riley stated that with the numerous requests being received, this has created somewhat of a problem in terms of time lines and excessive paperwork to the Commission and to Council . 5/16/83 151 Mr. Riley suggested that it would save time' and money if staff was author- ized to permit organizations to serve alcoholic beverages during their functions, since most of the requests are routine in nature. He noted that the Commission concurred with this procedure. It is the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Director that the City Attorney be authorized to amend the ordinance to allow staff to issue • • routine permits to serve alcoholic beverages in City Parks. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Kirkpatrick, Mr. Riley advised that there have been no problems in the parks since the inception of the permit program. Mr. Riley replied to a question from Councilman Demsher that in the event that a request was denied by staff, he would assume that the organization would have the right to appeal that decision to the Commission or Council . ; Mr. Demsher noted that it may have to be a direct appeal to the Council from the standpoint of time. Mr. Riley emphasized that this recommended change would affect only re- quests to serve alcoholic beverages, not requests to sell . Councilman Demsher concurred that the procedure has worked well in the past; however, he noted that there is beginning to be a problem in the parks currently with people loitering, drinking beer, and causing some of the same problems experienced before the permit program. He expressed some reservations about the amendment and felt it is Councils responsibility to maintain control of the parks. Mayor Gard said one of her concerns about the permit process is that it only provides for groups and organizations, and may discriminate against individuals. Councilman Kirkpatrick said he does not feel that the permit process and people drinking beer in the parks are the same issues. He did not feel • that Council would be giving up any control by allowing staff to issue permits. Councilman Pugh suggested that a monthly report be given to Council on these requests and if there is a problem, the previous method of issuing permits can be resumed. He felt the process is cumbersome to go through the Parks and Recreation Commission and then to Council . He said, however, that the permit process for requests to sell alcoholic beverages should remain the same. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick approving the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Director and instructing the City Attorney to amend the ordinance accordingly. The • Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Pugh that a monthly report be made to Council from Parks and Recreation containing the number of permits issued, the number of people participating, and from the Police Chief indicating the number of citations issued to people who do not have permits to consume beer.

Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo- randum to Council dated May 13, 1983 , which is incorporated herein by reference. He stated that the Planning Commission has approved the subdivision of 43 acres generally located west of Ridge Road, north of Boulder Creek Drive and east of Twin View Boulevard into 85 sin- gle-family lots and 11 multiple-family residential lots. Mr. Perry explained that the subdivision is being considered by Council because the tentative map is not officially approved due to a disagreement between the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Planning Commission concerning the location of the park site. The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended the site at the intersec- tion of Valleyridge Drive and Valleybrook Drive and the Planning Commission recommended the site as requested by the applicant within the loop of the cul-de-sac at the north end of Valleybrook Drive. He noted that a petition has been submitted from residents on Ridge Road favoring the original park site at the intersection of Valleyridge Drive and Valleybrook Drive. He reviewed the primary concerns of both Commissions such as parcel size, usability, accessibility, attractive- ness, and pedestrian safety. Mr. Perry pointed out that the key factor in considering which site should be used, is accessibility and usability as identified in Section 17.42.040 of the Subdivision Code. He noted that if Council concurs with the Planning Commission recommendation, no changes should be made in the Conditions of Approval ; however, if the Parks and Recreation Commission recommendation is approved, amendments would be required. In addition, Mr. Perry explained that the applicant has requested that the the staff recommendation be amended for a possible grade change on existing pavement on Valleyridge Drive (Condition 25) . He said that based on the representation from the applicant that the Public Works Department had approved the plans for the street, the Planning Commis- sion required the applicant and the City to split the cost of con- struction equally. Mr. Perry stated that the problem deals with the transition at the bottom of the hill , which is functionally an oblique angle as constructed. He said this should have been constructed with a gradual transition. Since the Public Works Director has indicated that the existing street was not constructed according to approved plans and the street has not been accepted by the City, Mr. Perry recommended that Condition No. 25 be amended by deleting the phrase "cost of roadway to be equally shared by the City and the developer if the road is to be reconstructed." Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memorandum to Council dated May 11 , 1983. He explained that the construction of the extension of Doris Street in the late 1970's was not done according to the approved plans. He recommended that the developer and his engineer will have to evaluate the as-built conditions to see how much curb and gutter can be salvaged in preparing the new construction drawings for review and approval . Mr. Arness further recommends that the City not share in any reconstruction costs for the street. Steve Essig, 788 Ridge Road, spoke regarding the park site. He noted the petition submitted containing over 45 signatures, which represents the parents of over 70 school-age children. He said that accessi- bility would be much better at the corner site and felt that the cul-de-sac site would be more like a personal park for the surrounding 5/16/83 157 1 1 lots. Mr. Essig asked that Council require the developer to provide foot paths for areas on Ridge Road and Midway Drive. • Robin Wright, 805 Ridge Road, spoke in favor of the corner park site. 1 She felt that the Planning Commission totally disregarded the wishes of the neighborhood and noted that foot paths to the cul-de-sac park site are proposed only for the new subdivision. She felt the park - Ill should be located where it is easily accessible by all residents. Ms. Wright did not feel that locating the park at the corner near a steep grade would cause a safety hazard because cars would roll down the hill before they would turn into the park area. Roger Froslie, representing Kenneth Knighten, stated that the original map for this property which has now expired, had an approved park site on the corner. He said the new map proposes the park site at the cul-de-sac location, which he feels is an ideal setting. Mr. Froslie stated that the park is being developed primarily for the 85 lots within this subdivision, and felt that they would prefer the cul -de-sac location. He proposed that the corner site would have a greater safety problem than the loop site and stressed that the developer prefers the loop site. In regard to the reconstruction of Doris Street, Mr. Froslie contended that when it was constructed in the late 1970's , it was inspected by the City and plans were approved. He agreed that there was a change 1 in the "as built" design, compared to the approved plans , but the City did not make Mr. Knighten aware that the construction of the street was unacceptable. He estimated that the cost of reconstruction is about $4,000 to $5,000 and he felt the City should share some of the responsibility for the unacceptable construction. He recommended that Condition No. 25 remain as approved by the Planning Commission. Lori Manzella, 682 Ridge Road, spoke in favor of the corner park site. She felt that there could be flooding problems with the cul-de-sac site and felt there could be problems with the residents on the cul-de-sac feeling that it is "their" park. She felt the corner site is more accessible to everyone and not just one specific area. MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman ; Kirkpatrick that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Councilman Pugh abstaining a Councilman Kirkpatrick asked if the City has been asked to take acceptance of the extension of Doris Street at any time. Mr. Arness said he does not recall any request to accept the street. He said 1 that normally acceptance of streets goes to the City Council and is done by resolution. The approved design grade was shown on the Vu 1 Graph and Mr. Arness stated that he does not normally sign street design drawings that have angles in them. Mr. Arness said it is his understanding that there were several "pours" of curb, gutters, and sidewalks , and that this section was poured without City inspection and approval . He agreed that no notification was given to Mr. Knighten that he should correct the problem. Mr. Arness emphasized that the problem cannot be corrected without going back to the beginning of the curve and he suggested that the City not be a financial party to any part of that grade change.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Councilman Pugh abstaining r FOREST PRODUCTS MUSEUM SITE Parks and Recreation Director Riley reported that since the formation of the Feasibility Committee to study the possibilities of developing a National Logging Museum facility in the Redding area, the Committee has met with logging firms, local citizens , and staff members to formulate future needs and plans. Information from these groups indicating their concerns and suggestions for sites was given to Council . (� Mr. Riley indicated that the Parks and Recreation Commission met with the 4 0,211 Committee to discuss possible locations in the Turtle Bay area and the Commission is enthusiastic about the possibility of the museum being located in this area and its proximity to the Civic Auditorium. He noted, however, that the Commission expressed two concerns, i .e. 1 ) the many recent requests for use of the property, e.g. Teen Center, helicopter pad, motorcycle park, and 2) the future of Turtle Bay due to the lack of an { adequate master plan. Because of these concerns, it is the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Commission that a master plan be considered for the entire Turtle Bay area which would encompass this logging museum as part of the plan. Trudy Vaughan, from the Forest Products Museum Feasibility Study Group, advised that the Executive Committee proposes that 15 acres in the Turtle Bay area be set aside for this museum and recommends that a master plan be 5/16/83 159 done for the entire Turtle Bay area. She felt that approval of their request will enhance their search for financial support. In response to an inquiry from Mayor Gard, Mr. Perry advised that the 15 acres referred to by the Ms. Vaughan is the major area of uncommitted land in the Turtle Bay area. Mr. Perry said he would be in favor of designating the area for the museum after the feasibility study is completed, and doing a detailed site plan later. He said there is also the possibility of linking a road across the river someday. Mayor Gard noted that the tree line is a firm barrier. Mayor Gard noted that she has been attending the Executive Committee meetings and it is an enthusiastic group which has made great accomplish- ' ments. Councilman Kirkpatrick felt this is an ideal location because it would give some opportunity to conventioneers to visit something that is very impor- • tant to our area. 1 Councilman Pugh concurred with the location and felt this type of museum would fit very well into our community. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Demsher that the area adjacent to the monolith be designated for the logging museum for a period of three years.
