WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
,)- Communication from Laymen' s National Bible Committee - re Bible Week
A letter was received from Reuben Gums of the Laymen' s National Bible
Committee, Inc. requesting that a proclamation be issued for Bible
Week. A -osu- oCoo-(ood
` The City Clerk indicated that the group has been advised that it is
the City Council ' s policy not to make proclamations which do not
directly involve the City of Redding.
Mayor Gard concurred with this policy and reiterated that the Council
would take no action on this request.
Councilman Demsher suggested that the Council communicate to Mr. Gums
that the City has had this policy for a long time and it has been a
good policy. He said the Council has also felt that religious matters
are inappropriate for the City to become involved in.
Request From Gary Stokes - re Bond Payoff on Hartnell Avenue Assess-
ment District
A letter was received from Gary Stokes requesting that he be allowed
to collect interest on the bond payoff amount for the Hartnell Avenue
Assessment District while it is on deposit with the City. He advised
that the City Treasurer has taken the position that the City will
receive the interest for approximately three months while the money is
on deposit. A memorandum from the City Manager to the City Council ,
dated September 15, 1983 , is also incorporated herein by reference.
Mr. Michael Wells, attorney representing Mr. Stokes, addressed Council
and advised that he has reviewed the report from the City Manager
which explains the 1915 Act Improvement Bond transaction procedure.
Mr. Wells stated he is not challenging the legality of the procedure
9/19/83
243
but pointing out the inequity involved. He felt that normally, bond
payoff fees would not be this significant, but since this amount is
over $40,000, the interest over a three month period is significant.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Kirkpatrick, Mr. Courtney
explained the situation. He stated that when the Hartnell Avenue
Assessment District bonds were initially sold and the assessment rolls
were created, only two large parcels existed, one of which was con-
trolled by Mr. Stokes et al . He said this parcel was later divided
and aldivision of assessment was done. The County then claimed they
did not have proper notification of this division and failed to bill
Mr. Stokes for his assessment of $339,800.16. Because of this over-
sight Mr. Courtney said it was necessary for the City to advance
monies from the general fund to pay bond coupons when they became due
and the interest earnings on this money is not recoverable. Mr.
Courtney pointed out that Mr. Stokes did have the benefit of the
interest earnings on his unpaid assessment billing for many months
prior to the County and the City discovering that this assessment was
not paid. A
- Mr. Courtney suggested that if the Council deviates from the 1915 Act
Impro�uement Bond policy, it will be difficult to deny other such
requests. He also pointed out that even if the City waived this
policy the staff time involved in calculating the costs for the payoff
transaction would be significant.
Counclilman Kirkpatrick proposed that the costs for these calculations
could be charged to the property owner. Mr. Courtney advised that
this is a possibility but he is not certain it could legally be done.
Special Bond Counsel Sperry said he believes the costs incurred for ti
calculating the payoff costs could be lawfully charged to the person
making the request.
Councilman Kirkpatrick asked if it is necessary that Council make a
decision tonight. Mr. Courtney advised that the deposit is required
to be made by October 1 , but the decision could be delayed to the
first City Council meeting in October.
At t;he request of Mr. Kirkpatrick, this matter was held over until
October 3, 1983, for further information from staff.
Mayor Gard commented that the City debated for a long time about using
this method of bond payoff and she is concerned about changing the
policy and adding to the paperwork burden. %-/ -osU-a_oo
Letters and Petitions re Proposed Ultralight Airpark - Kutras Park
Severaliletters and a petition were submitted to Council pertaining to
the establishment of an ultralight airpark in the Kutras Park area.
Also submitted was a packet of information from the Planning and
Community Development Director, including an ordinance adopted by the
City of Roseville regarding ultralights.
Mr. Perry advised that no formal request has been received regarding
the ,establishment of an ultralight airpark in the City, although it is
his understanding that a request has been made to the F.A.A. and the
Division of Aeronautics. He said that until an application is re-
ceived, there is no action to be taken by Council unless they would
choose to instruct the Planning Commission to study the matter.

PUBLIC HEARING - re Greenback Lane Street Assessment District No. 1983-7
The hour of 7:30 P.M. , having arrived, Mayor Gard opened the public
hearing re Greenback Lane Street Assessment District No. 1983-7.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
1.
Certificate of Filing - Boundary Map
Certificate of Mailing - Notice of Improvement
Certificate of Posting - Notice of Improvement
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Improvement
Affidavit of Publication - Notice Inviting Bids
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received.
Special Bond Counsel Sperry submitted the documents for filing and
e adoption relative to the Greenback Land Street Assessment District.
Mr. Bill Spain, Keswick Dam Road, was opposed to including Keswick Dam
Road in the assessment district. He indicated that he was not asked
whether he wanted to be included. He added that ten years ago he was
assessed for the construction of Keswick Dam Road and does not feel
that he should be reassessed for widening it now. He submitted a
letter detailing reasons for the protest signed by Sandra K. Spain.
Associate Civil Engineer Hastings explained that Mr. Spain lives on
the northeast corner of Greenback and Keswick Dam Road. He added that
all of Greenback Lane is proposed to be improved but only the north
side of Keswick Dam Road. Mr. Hastings stated that there was a single
lot owner on Keswick Dam Road who requested to include this widening
in the district and it was determined that this would tie in an island
area with this assessment district and the recently-completed Calexico
Drive improvements. He advised that the assessment spread was based
on how many square feet of frontage improvements were received. Mr.
Hastings commented that there are several good sized oak trees on the
west side of Greenback Lane which would have to be removed so the lir
project was designed to eliminate widening that side, thereby result-
ing in a savings to all the property owners in the district. He
explained that the reason Mr. Spain's assessment is higher than the
opposite corner is because a portion of the curb and gutter had
already been installed by the other property owner and their
assessment was thereby less.
9/19/83
245
Mr. Jerry Horrocks , 3438 Keswick Dam Road, said he lives on the
opposite corner from Mr. Spain. He asked if a water line will be
installed on Keswick Dam Road and if so who will pay for it. Mr.
Hastings advised that there will be a water line and it will be paid
for by the City.
—111 MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Fulton
that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Kirkpatrick, Public Works
Director Arness advised that Mrs. Hanson, the property owner immedi-
ately to the east of Mr. Spain on Keswick Dam Road, asked to be
included in the district and it was determined to include her property
as it would tie both the Greenback Lane assessment district and the
Calexico assessment district together. Mr. Spain' s property was
thereby also included. Mr. Arness pointed out that even though Mr.
Spain did not sign the petition, more than 50% of the property owners
were in favor of forming the district, in accordance with the Chapter
27 assessment district proceedings.

City of Redding.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:

Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Planning Commission recommendation dated September 16, 1983
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received
other than those included in the Council packets, and the Mayor
ascertained that there were no protests from the floor.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated September 16, 1983 , which is incorporated
herein by reference. He stated that the Planning Commission has
recommended rezoning of property located at 1439-1465 Riverside Drive
from "R-3" Multiple-Family Residential District to "F-3-20" Multiple-
Family Residential District. A map of the area was shown on the Vu
Graph and Council was given a copy of the draft negative declaration.
Letters opposing the rezoning were also submitted to Council .
Mr. Perry indicated that at the Planning Commission public hearing,
there were several residents who submitted the attached petition and
spoke in opposition to the rezoning. He said the primary concern of
the residents was additional allowed uses such as a boarding house and
increased density. Mr. Perry explained that the "R-3-20" zoning
eliminates the boarding house issue and redudes the permitted density
by one half which would bring the zoning into conformance with the
General Plan. He added that at the public hearing, several residents
indicated that the "R-3-20" zoning would be acceptable.
It is the recommendation of both the Planning Commission and staff
that the area be rezoning to "R-3-20," that the negative declaration
be ratified, and an ordinance be offered for first reading.

Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated September 15, 1983, which is incorporated
herein by reference. He stated that the Planning Commission has
recommended amendment of the City Code to provide for accessory
apartments in certain "R-1" Single-Family Residential areas through
creation of the "AA" Accessory Apartment Combining District. He
explained that the need for this ordinance was created by SB 1534
which is intended to encourage cities and counties to allow develop-
ment of second units on single-family zoned lots. Mr. Perry outlined
the mandates of the legislation, as well as the options considered by
the Planning Commission.
Mr. Perry advised that the Planning Commission opted for Option 2, the
creation of a combining district, wherein the rezoning would be
required prior to creation of second units. However, once the rezon-
ing is in place, most second units would be permitted outright.
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that the
negative declaration be ratified and that an ordinance be offered for {
first reading.

PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Tentative Subdivision Map S-12-83, Woodhaven
Homes
Councilman Pugh abstained from voting and discussion on this matter.
The hour of 7:30 P.M. , having arrived, Mayor Gard opened the public
hearing re appeal of Tentative Subdivision Map S-12-83, Woodhaven
Homes , by Ron Mygrant and Charles Hoisington.
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
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo-
randum to Council dated September 16, 1983, which is incorporated
herein by reference. He stated that the Planning Commission has
approved the subdivision of property located generally south and east
of Churn Creek and west of Alta Mesa Drive into 227 lots. A map of
the area and the conditions of approval were submitted to Council .
Mr. Perry advised that subsequent to that decision, the applicants
submitted the attached letter appealing the in-lieu park fees. He
listed the reasons the applicant gave for this appeal . Mr. Perry felt
that the contributions being required for this subdivision are not
extraordinary since they have already been required of other subdi-
visions in the general area.
It is the recommendation of staff that the appeal be denied.
Mr. Ron Mygrant, 4350 Alta Campo, said this is an extraordinary
situation in that they are providing a major public works project, the
Victor Avenue bridge. He said the benefit of that bridge will be
significant for all properties east of and along Alta Mesa, and much
of the property in the Churn Creek bottom area. Mr. Mygrant said he
feels the time is right for the bridge and they are doing it with a
cooperative spirit in the hopes that it will resolve a problem for a
large area of Redding. He said Marshall Worley, an adjacent property
owner is participating in the overall Victor Avenue project and Mr.
Mygrant suggested that the $200 per unit in-lieu park fees could be
used for the access which will be a significant benefit to the general
area and is only fair.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman
Kirkpatrick that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes with Councilman Pugh abstaining
Mayor Gard pointed out that without the City's participation in the
Victor Avenue project and other projects in this area, development of
Mr. Mygrants property and others in this area would not have been
possible. She said the off-site improvements are not unusual for
subdivisions that have development problems and if the Council con-
sidered waiving the in-lieu park fees, it would have to change the
ordinance and refund money to those who have developed properties
under those standards.
Councilman Demsher said if in-lieu park fees were waived in this case,
it would set a precedent for future developments.

PUBLIC HEARING - re Proposed Water Utility Rate Increase
The hour of 7:30 P.M. , having arrived, Mayor Gard opened the public
hearing re proposed water utility rate increase.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
The City Clerk advised that two written protests have been received,
from Donald Otley and Stuart Oliver.
Public Works Superintendent Galusha reviewed the reports to Council
pertaining to the proposed water utility rate increase and sewer
charges. These reports, dated August 24, 25, and 29, are incorporated
herein by reference.
Mr. Galusha presented the recommended changes in the City' s revenue
program to maintain the existing system and also to provide funding
for the planning and construction of system improvements to provide
capacity for new development. This program includes increased monthly
water rates, adjustments of meter installation charges and connection
fees , and adoption of a special benefit fee procedure. He noted that
the last water utility rate increase occurred in 1977 and since 1978,
operating expenses have exceeded revenues. Several tables and figures
were shown on the Vu Graph.
Mr. Galusha explained that the existing rate structure is a four step
declining block rate, whereas the proposed new structure will have a
fixed monthly service charge based on meter size and commodity rate.
He summarized the impacts on single family homes, multifamily living
units, and industrial and commercial users.
The proposed amendment to the Municipal Code regarding other water
related areas was presented by Mr. Galusha. He stated that in addi-
tion to the meter service installation charges , staff has reviewed and
recalculated connection charges.
Lastly, Mr. Galusha presented a proposed ordinance adopting special
benefit zone charges for water and sewer improvements. He stated that
since 1980, the City has been assigning special water and sewer
benefit charges to developing properties in areas where there are
water or sewer system deficiencies. These special benefit fees have
been applied to discretionary uses, such as lot splits, tentative
maps, use permits, etc. Mr. Galusha indicated that the proposed
amendments to the Municipal Code will formally establish these special
benefit zone charges in all developmental circumstances.
It is the recommendation of staff that a resolution be adopted estab-
lishing water utility rates, that an ordinance be introduced concern-
ing meter service installation charges and connection charges, and
that an ordinance be introduced establishing special benefit zone j
charges for water and sewer improvements.
Tom Roach, owner and general manager of the Shasta Inn, said he
protests this increase. He stated that because of the S.R. I. report
which emphasized the low utility rates in the City of Redding, he and
3
9/19/83
252
his partners were enticed to purchase this property. He opposes the
heavier burden placed on businesses and larger users.
Maurice Johannessen, 747 Auditorium Drive, stated that the major
portion of water meters are installed at the time the subdivisions are
built; therefore, the "development charges" are basically for repair-
ing the existing system rather than new development. He said he is
disturbed that fees are raised in order to resolve the City' s finan-
cial problems and feels this is only a temporary solution. He felt
the City should look into other areas and find other ways to finance
public projects.
Discussion ensued regarding the fiscal constraints placed on local
governments by the State. Mayor Gard noted that the general public
used to subsidize development through property taxes prior to Proposi-
tion 13. She emphasized that is is very important for the business
community to know that this City must run like a business and util-
ities must pay for themselves. She suggested that the general public
should put pressure on the State government to subsidize public
projects.
Councilman Demsher emphasized that when the City passed the develop-
ment fee ordinance several years ago, the City Council felt that new
development should pay for the economic impact it causes. He stressed
that Council would like to see new industry in this area but the
residents do not feel they should have to pay for the impacts. Mr.
Demsher maintained that utilities must pay for themselves and there is
> no other way to do it.
Bert Meyer, Meyer Motels, said he owns several motels in Redding and
he objects to his bill going up. He said he doesn' t know if this is
the most fair way to structure the rates. III
Robert Brennan, 789 Delta, said he has a small house and a small yard
and his monthly bill is about $20. He suggested raising rates for the
larger users right away and leave the single family units as they are.
47 Councilman Kirkpatrick explained that the reason for using a three-
phase rate increase is so that businesses can plan ahead and change
prices accordingly to allow for the increase.
r
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Pugh that
the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
i' Councilman Pugh expressed the hope that following this increase, the
City can get back on a two-year increase program so that businesses
and residents can plan for it.

City Attorney Hays addressed both the City Council and the Redevelopment
Agency regarding the proposed settlement agreement for the Canby-Hilltop-
Cypress Redevelopment Project. He distributed copies of the agreement to
Council and Agency members.
Mr. Hays explained that under the terms of the agreement the County will
receive 13.75% of the tax increment funds during the first ten years and
27.5% during all subsequent years of distribution of tax increment funds.
He also advised that the Shasta Mosquito Abatement District will retain
.28% of the tax increment funds for a period of 20 years. Mr. Hays advised
that under redevelopment law, the Redevelopment Agency is bound to set
aside 20% of the funds received for low and moderate income housing. He
noted that the agreement also addresses funds for school districts within
the project area that are diverted by tax increment financing. For pur-
poses of division of property tax, he said, the 1980-81 assessment roll
will be used. Mr. Hays also noted that this agreement dismisses appeals of
lawsuits filed by the County.
It is the recommendation of the City Attorney that the agreement be
considered by the Redevelopment Agency and then by the City Council .

NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES MEMBERSHIP
Mayor Gard advised Council that the League of California Cities is a member
1 of the National League of Cities; however, a city has the opportunity to be
Imuch more influential with regard to providing input and participating in
policy making, if it is a "direct member city" of the National League of
Cities. She noted that it would cost the City of Redding $1686 per year to
` be a direct member. L - o yd-ij -$id0
Ms. Gard indicated that recently, the National League has taken actions
which do not conform to the best interests of the State of California or
the City of Redding. She noted that many California cities dropped out of
the National League and this has left control to the eastern states. It is
therefore recommended that Council give approval for direct membership
status for the City of Redding.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Pugh that
Redding become a direct member of the National League of Cities, at a cost
of $1686 per year. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Mayor Gard stated she will keep Council advised as to the effectiveness of
this membership and Council can determine if it wishes to continue the
membership.

DUSTY LANE DRAINAGE FACILITIES
Public Works Director Arness advised that at the last Council meeting, he
suggested that the property owners on Dusty Lane fund drainage improvements
equal to those which are being installed by developers. He said after
having a meeting with these property owners , they did not feel they had any
obligation to share with the City on these improvements. Mr. Arness stated
that the property owners feel that the upstream developers have caused
additional runoff and that the problem will continue to increase.
Mr. Arness stated that staff feels the flooding has been occurring for
several years prior to any development in the area and property owners
should share in the cost of the improvements.

Wallace Maso, 1251 Dusty Lane, asked if Mr. Arness is suggesting that the
abutting property owners provide the box culvert or maintain the capacity
of the ditch?
Mr. Arness responded that he proposes the City build a box culvert which
would provide for the 25 year storm design and that the property owners be
responsible for maintenance of the ditch.
Peggy Hoist, 1261 Dusty Lane, advised that there was a minor flooding
problem on Dusty Lane prior to upstream development, but each time there
was additional development, more flooding occurred. She said there is no
way the existing ditch will handle additional development.
Jim Hoist, 1261 Dusty Lane, asked how abutting property owners would ensure
the maintenance of the ditch.
Mr. Arness said the ditch would have to be kept clear, possibly by building
a concrete liner.
Mr. Hoist contended that he would not take the responsibility for the
• maintenance of the ditch until other property owners along the ditch assume
the same responsibility for their portion.
•
Dorothy Allen, 1258 Dusty Lane, stated her yard has been flooding since
1958 when they bought the property and was a problem before they purchased
•
the property.
r Mr. Maso returned to the podium and noted that there are no fewer than
eleven culverts that are going to be diverted into the ditch along with the
existing eight culverts. He emphasized that he had water two inches from
his door last year.

Councilman Kirkpatrick stated that he has walked the property and in his
opinion the new development has caused the problem. He said the problem
was manageable before but now it is not and felt the City should spend the
full $44,000 to correct the problem.
Councilman Demsher said he is concerned about whether this would be an
appropriate use of capital improvement funds and the fact that this may set
a precedent, for other similar projects.
Councilman Pugh stated that the problem has been there for years and feels
the City should not be totally responsible for correcting the problem. He
is concerned about setting a precedent.
Mayor Gard said she can see using capital improvements funds to participate
in an assessment district but there is no willingness on the part of the
property owners to participate.
Councilman Kirkpatrick contended that the EIR for Woodside Meadows said
there was no significant impact, but it is that development that caused the
problem downstream.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Fulton that
the City fund the entire project at a cost of approximately $44,000 to
construct a box culvert on Dusty Lane and a concrete invert channel to
match work being done by the developer of the Woodside Meadows Subdivision.

ORDINANCE - re Wild Animals in the City of Redding 0
Councilman Pugh abstained from discussion on this matter.
City Attorney Hays advised that the provisions of the City Code do not
presently prohibit the keeping of wild animals. He recommended that an
ordinance be offered for first reading which adds the words "keeping" and
"keep" to Section 7.04.090 of the Code, thereby prohibiting anyone from
maintaining wild animals within the boundaries of the City of Redding.
Councilman Demsher offered Ordinance No. 1657 for first reading, an ordi-
nance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Chapter 7.04 of
the Redding Municipal Code by repealing Section 7.04.090 of said Chapter
and substituting therefor a new Section 7.04.090 of Chapter 7.04, pertain-
ing to wild animals.
Councilman Kirkpatrick stated that Mr. Stankus called him this afternoon in
regard to this proposed ordinance. Mr. Kirkpatrick said Mr. Stankus feels
the ordinance came about because of his inquiry about keeping a tiger in
his garage. Mr. Kirkpatrick felt it is wrong to introduce an ordinance to
specifically squelch a request of a citizen.
City Attorney Hays advised that Mr. Stankus did not call his office for
information about keeping wild animals , but it was as a result of Mr.
Stankis' contact with the Department of Fish and Game and the Haven Humane
Society that Mr. Little of the Humane Society contacted the City Attorney' s
office. Mr. Hays felt the City would be in a precarious position if it
allowed an individual to keep a wild animal in a residential neighborhood,
and it would be difficult to get one out once it was there.
Mayor Gard commented that the introduction of this ordinance will provide
opportunity for public input before Council votes on its adoption on
October 3, 1983.
Tom Little representing the Haven Human Society, said he concurs with the
City Attorney. He opposes the private ownership of wild animals , particu-
larly in residential areas. R _730-i,s'd
