Councilman Pugh said he concurs that it will be noisy for the people
who live in the area but that is not always avoidable. He felt it
should be tried to see how good or bad it is for the community as a
whole.
In response to an inquiry from Mayor Gard, Parks and Recreation
Director Riley advised that he believed the times for the races to be
approximately 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. , both days.
Mayor Gard suggested that if Council Members concur, it would be
useful to monitor noise levels for the event. She suggested taking
readings in Sunset Terrace, and West and Benton Tract subdivisions,
Lake Redding Estates, and the end of West Street, for use as a data
base for future decisions.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick
upholding the decision of the Parks and Recreation Commission to allow
boat races on the Sacramento River, April 14 and 15, 1984; and, that

MAYOR GARD - Report re Local Government Advisory Committee Meeting
(L-040-300)
Mayor Gard reported on her recent meeting as a member of the Local Govern-
ment Advisory Committee. She advised that the Committee consists of a
large number of elected officials from all over the State. She said a
noted economist, David Morris, spoke to the group and emphasized that
cities should become more self-reliant.
Mayor Gard reported that Assemblyman Sam Farr, Chairman of the Economic
Development and New Technologies Committee, emphasized that when they are
talking to companies interested in relocating to California, the two most
important questions are: 1 ) What is the communities commitment to quality
of life; and, 2) What is the communities commitment to education. She felt
111 this community has expressed its desire to increase its quality of life and
compares very well to other cities of this size. She commented that the
very favorable housing costs are an added incentive. She also noted that
periodically, efforts have been made to establish a four-year college in
Redding.

Mayor Gard further reported that the Committee plans to have four meetings
a year and hopes to get all cities marching in the same direction and
supporting each other as far as economic development is concerned. She
asked for any ideas or suggestions to take to the next meeting and advised
that she will type up her notes for all Council Members.
Councilman Kirkpatrick said Redding has been in situations where it has
wanted companies to relocate here, and support from other cities as well as
from the State would be very helpful .

1984 ELECTRIC SYSTEM PROJECT FINANCING
(E-090-160-220)
Electric Director Lindley reviewed his memorandum to Council dated February
28, 1984, which is incorporated herein by reference. He said for the past
several months, staff has been involved with the preparation of a
comprehensive financing program for the Whiskeytown Power Project and other
electric utility system improvements needed during the next five years.
Mr. Lindley listed the funding options reviewed by staff. He indicated
that staff felt the best option is the financing program which includes
financing the Whiskeytown Project and various system improvements listed in
the Capital Improvement Program Summary for the next five years.
Mr. Lindley pointed out that the financing program will consist of two
phases. The Phase I program would be replaced by a new issue of debt
coincident with the end of the three-year Phase I program and coincident
with the additional bonding requirements projected for the 1986-87 and
1987-88 fiscal years. He noted that the impacts of the project financing
will be to reduce the customer rate shock in the years coincident with, or
prior to, the years in which the projects and programs are funded.
Mr. Lindley advised that the City Attorney has prepared an ordinance for
introduction under his portion of the agenda this evening. The draft
installment payment contract, official statement, and trust agreement were
submitted to Council .
Councilman Pugh stated he felt the information Council has received from
the Electric Department about electric system projects has been very
beneficial and has enabled Council to have a much better understanding of
the financial program. He felt staff has compiled a sensible package and
one which will minimize the impact on rates. He said this type of program
is very beneficial to everyone.
Mayor Gard concurred and emphasized that this is just one more effort to
protect the City's favorable electric rates.
Councilman Fulton asked if it is realistic to include Lake Redding and Lake
Red Bluff in this program. Mr. Lindley replied that Phase I does not
include funding for construction of those two projects. He emphasized that
the City will have a better picture in two or three years if it should
proceed with either or both of these projects.
Councilman Pugh pointed out that there are funds to continue studies for
these projects.

SET PUBLIC HEARING - Appeal of Tentative Subdivision Map S-18-83, Mary
Lake, by Trygve B. Slettland, et al
(S-100-454)
Councilman Pugh abstained from voting and discussion on this matter.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry recommended that a public
hearing be set to consider the appeal by Trygve Sletteland, et al , of
Tentative Subdivision Map S-18-83, Mary Lake, for 7:30 P.M. , March 19,
1984. He further recommended that the request to cul-de-sac Ridge Drive be

Commission for comment.

be notified and also that the remaining lots on Woodlawn, Waushara, Pebble,
Oro, Travona, El Capitan, and Mt. Ashland be notified.
Mayor Gard advised that she has abstained from voting on previous actions
related to Mary Lake because a general plan amendment was included
encompasing a much larger area and the boundary was directly adjacent to
her property. She asked City Attorney Hays if she should continue to
abstain even though the Mary Lark subdivision is a considerable distance
from her property. Mr. Hays advised that it would appear that it is not
necessary for her to abstain.
Mayor Gard noted that she concurred with the wider notification recommended
by the Planning Director.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Fulton that
a public hearing be set for 7:30 P.M. , March 19, 1984, to consider the

REQUEST TO SELL BEER - Shasta Wonderland Elite Athletic Team

Parks and Recreation Director Riley advised that the Parks and Recreation
Commission considered a request from Shasta Wonderland Elite Athletic Team
to sell beer at their annual Nor Cal three and ten-mile runs in Caldwell
Park on Sunday, March 25, 1984. He stated that the Commission recommended
denial of the request citing incompatibility with the event.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Fulton, Mr. Riley advised that
this is a one day event and no problems have been reported in the past.
Councilman Pugh asked about the proceeds from the sale of beer and Mr.
Riley advised that all proceeds from the race will go to the high schools
in the Shasta Union High School District to support cross country programs.
Councilman Kirkpatrick asked if this is a change in posture by the
Commission and Mr. Riley explained that some Commissioners felt it was
inappropriate because some participants are under 21 years of age.
Mayor Gard pointed out that there are softball participants under 21 also
and this is why she consistently votes no on such requests.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that
the sale of beer is in keeping with the nature of the short-term event,
that no problems have been reported in the past, and, approving the request
of Shasta Wonderland Elite Athletic Team to sell beer in Caldwell Park on
Sunday, March 25, 1984, subject to the following conditions:
1 . That a $300 clean-up deposit fee and a certificate of insurance be on
file in the City Clerk's office five days prior to the event;
2. That only paper cuts be used instead of cans or glass bottles;
3. That the sale of beer be carefully supervised by this organization
during the event.

for March 1984.
PUBLIC HEARING - re Amendment to the City Code Pertaining to Minimum Lot
Size in the B District
(L-010-500 and C-110-100)
The hour of 7:30 P.M. , having arrived, Mayor Gard opened the public
hearing re amendment of Section 18.38.010 of the Redding Municipal
Code pertaining to the minimum lot size in the "B" District.
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 no written protests have been received and
the Mayor ascertained that there were no protests from the floor.
Planning and Community Development Perry reviewed his memorandum to
Council dated February 28, 1984, which is incorporated herein by
reference. He stated that the Planning Commission unanimously
3/5/84
53
recommended amendment of the "B" Combining District to provide for a
15 ,000-square-foot minimum parcel size. He explained that the "B"
District is a district which when combined with the basic use
districts provides for greater parcel sizes.
It is the opinion of both the Planning Commission and staff that the
existing "B" District does not provide enough flexibility to encourage
efficient subdivision design in areas designated for "2.0 units per
acre" on the General Plan. Once street right-of-way and park
dedications are subtracted, net lot sizes will average 15,000 to
20,000 square feet if a developer is to take advantage of the entire
density credited to the property. Mr. Perry continued to state that
the proposed "B-15" designation would allow minimum standards to be
applied while providing flexibility in design without creating the
potential for further subdivision after tracts are established.
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that the
City Code be amended as stated, the negative declaration be ratified,
and an ordinance be offered for first reading.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Fulton
that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Mayor Gard asked if Mr. Perry felt the specific criteria addressed the
lot sizes. Mr. Perry responded that he felt they do since the maximum
front-yard setbacks have been increased.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick
approving the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff and
making the following findings re amendment to the City Code pertaining
to the "B" District:
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, ratifies the Negative Declaration approved by the Planning
Commission on February 14, 1984. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Councilman Pugh offered Ordinance No. 1679 for first reading, an
ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Section
18.38.010 of the Redding Municipal Code by adding thereto line 815,
pertaining to lot size regulations in the "B" Combining District.

BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR
Vi Klaseen, 595 Mary Street, noted that on the subject of the community' s
commitment to education, the City could use its influence to encourage
funding with the State Legislature when it is dealing with money matters.
Mayor Gard emphasized that the City is very active with the League of
California Cities and financing for schools is a high priority.
Councilman Pugh pointed out that California no longer has locally funded
schools and it is up to the State to determine how much money will go to
education.
City Attorney Hays noted that efforts are being made to have a four-year
educational institution in this community. Councilman Kirkpatrick
concurred and indicated that probably all members of Council have met with
various legislators regarding a four-year institution in Redding. He
emphasized that this requires a lot of input and a lot of lobbying but he
feels Redding is in a good potition.
Mayor Gard agreed and added that Redding is consistently told that we are
too close to Chico and the population is not sufficient to warrant a
four-year college.
(L-040-300)
Bill Eggert, apologized for arriving late and missing the item regarding
the boat races on the Sacramento River. He stated that some of the con-
cerns he had include traffic problems on Diestelhorst Bridge, the use of
alcoholic beverages in residential areas, and parking. He also felt this
could create a race-track atmosphere in the area. Mr. Eggert also pointed
out that even though the sponsors of the race have spent time and money
promoting the race, the City will also have expenses involved for the
traffic and parking control , patrol in the park, etc.
Mayor Gard pointed out that any decision made by a City Commission is
subject to appeal to the City Council within ten days and the fact that the
promoters of the race have already advertised, has no bearing on the
Council ' s decision.
Councilman Pugh indicated that the kinds of problems cited by Mr. Eggert
have to be addressed but that any activity such as this has similar
problems. He added that boat races have been taking place in this area for
a number of years. Mr. Pugh emphasized that the Planning Department has
been instructed to monitor noise and hopefully the event will be well con-
