CHURN CREEK OVERPASS ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 1984-3 (A-170-020-100) Mayor Gard noted that she and other Council Members have received several phone calls in regard to this assessment district and noted that it appears numerous people are present this evening about this matter. She asked Special Bond Counsel Sperry to explain the proceedings before Council this evening and also the protest hearing process. Mr. Sperry explained that the first set of proceedings before Council at this time is to initiate this assessment district. He emphasized that it is only a proposed assessment district at this time. Mr. Sperry added that if Council adopts the resolution setting the public hearing for May 7, 1984, notices of the hearing will be mailed to all property owners within the proposed district. Mayor Gard asked Mr. Sperry if it would legally prejudice the protest hearing if the Council allows comments from the public this evening. Mr. Sperry advised that it would not prejudice the protests. Councilman Pugh pointed out that any evidence provided tonight would have to be repeated and re-incorporated into the record at the time of the protest hearing May 7. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Fulton, Mr. Perry advised that 50% of the project will be borne by the property owners. Councilman Demsher said he feels the people who have interest in this assessment district have communicated their concerns to staff and for Council to hear testimony at this time would not be productive. Mayor Gard repeated that this is not the protest hearing and in order for comments to be in the public record, they will have to be repeated at the public hearing. Councilman Demsher indicated that he would rather wait for the hearing to hear testimony; however, he emphasized that people are entitled to communi- cate with Council Members privately if they desire. Council Members Fulton, Kirkpatrick, and Gard indicated they would not be adverse to hearing testimony tonight, with the understanding that it would have to be repeated at the protest hearing. Helen Wilson, 1365 Dana Drive, asked why a protest hearing is held. City Attorney Hays indicated that it is a procedural requirement and required by law for all assessment districts. Mrs. Wilson asked how long it will be before the protest hearing. Mayor Gard advised that the hearing will be set for May 7, 1984, if the resolu- tion is adopted this evening. Ms. Gard further explained that the actions taken this evening only start the proceedings but no decisions will be made to approve the project. Mr. Sperry again explained the assessment district process and clarified what will take place at the protest hearing. 4/2/84 80 George Phillips, 1720 Canby Road, asked how many signatures were on the petition. Mr. Sperry replied that he is not aware of the exact number, however, the law requires that the petition represent not less than 60% of the land area. He noted that there is a certificate on file in the City Clerk' s office. Associate Civil Engineer Hastings indicated that the petitions represented 692% of the land area. Public Works Director Arness explained that the votes are on an area basis--one vote per acre of land. Mr. Phillips felt there are some discrepancies in assessments. Mayor Gard suggested that Mr. Phillips contact Mr. Hastings at City Hall and look at the boundary map. Mayor Gard repeated that it is very important that everyone return and present these concerns again at the protest hearing.

Notice of Improvement - MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Demsher that Council , after reviewing Environmental Impact Reports EIR-3-79 and EIR-3-81 , Council makes the following findings relative to the Churn Creek Overcrossing: 1 . Changes or alterations have been incorporated into the project which mitigate or substantially lessen the environmental effects, as iden- tified in the final EIR, with the exception of noise for a limited number of residential units. 2. The project conforms to the adopted plan line and the Circulation Element of the Redding General Plan. 3. Construction of Churn Creek Road Extension south of Highway 44 will expose 29 residences to moderate noise-level increases. 4. Specific economic, social , or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the final EIR pertaining to noise. The facts supporting such findings are as follows: 4/2/84 82 a. As identified in pages IV-1 through IV-8 and IV 30 through IV-34 of the final EIR, traffic congestion on the existing street network will reach unacceptable levels without development of additional street capacity across Highway 44. b. Project alternatives identified in the EIR, other than no proj- ect, do not meet the objectives of the proposed project nor create less significant environmental impacts. In time, there may be some reduction in noise due to intervening building construction. The noise impact is predicated on year 1995 traffic volumes.

He explained that on March 20, 1984, the Shasta Dam Area Public Utility District (SDAPUD) had a voltage regulator failure for which they had no replacement. He said SDAPUD customers served by the failed voltage regulator are now being served by PGandE lines. Mr. Lindley said inasmuch as the City has a set of voltage regulators which are currently surplus equipment and has no foreseeable use on the City' s system, the Electric Department recommends the sale of the surplus regu- lators to the SDAPUD. Mr. Lindley noted that Mr. Borgwat of the Shasta Dam Area Public Utility District was present and wished to address Council . Mr. John Borgwat, General Manager from SDAPUD, thanked Council for the opportunity speak this evening and express his appreciation for- the help given by the City of Redding Electric Department during the District' s time of need.

Mr. Borgwat said the team worked throughout the night and well into the next day in order to get the system in service again. He applauded the spontaneous dedication demonstrated by City of Redding employees under the Mutual Aid Agreement. Mr. Borgwat also expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to purchase the surplus electrical regulators for the SDAPUD and said he would take the agreement to the Board of Directors as soon as possible for its signature. He said the purchase of these regulators will enable the District to replace its failed regulator. Mayor Gard thanked Mr. Borgwat for the kind words and said it is nice to be good neighbors. She also thanked Mr. Lindley and his crew. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick approving the sale of surplus voltage regulators from the Churn Creek 4/2/84 84 Substation, to the Shasta Dam Area Public Utility District, and authorizing the Mayor to sign.

PROPOSED LAND EXCHANGE BY KRCR (C-070-010 and C-070-200) Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated March 29, 1984, which is incorporated herein by reference. He advised that Mr. Dick Green has submitted a proposal to exchange land owned by the Sacramento Valley Television, Inc. , (KRCR) on Freebridge Avenue for land owned by the City located west of the proposed Tourist and Convention Bureau building site. Mr. Perry pointed out that subsequent to that letter, a second letter was received from Mr. Maurice Johannessen expressing interest in purchasing City-owned land on the west side of Viking Skate Country. In addition to the City property, KRCR is proposing to purchase land from Mr. Johannessen adjacent to the City property, part of which is overflow parking for the skating rink. Mr. Perry reviewed the advantages and disadvantages to the City from this exchange with KRCR. It is the recommendation of staff that the two requests be referred to the Planning Commission for a General Plan alternative. He said the KRCR proposal would then be referred to the Council for consideration on April 16, 1984. It is also recommended that staff be authorized to do further research on Mr. Johannessen' s request and submit a report and recommenda- tion to the City Council . Councilman Fulton inquired as to the reason for KRCR not wishing to build on the land purchased on Parkview Avenue. Mr. Green from KRCR explained that with the adoption of the General Plan and the placement of the Parkview bridge, much of the building potential would be lost due to noise, aesthetics. Councilman Fulton also asked about screening for the satellites and anten- nas on the proposed site. Mr. Green felt these could be effectively screened and they could meet the City' s requirements. He noted, however, that there would have to be a clearing to the southeast sky for the tower. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Pugh, Mr. Green felt they could deal with the consistent type noise levels at the Auditorium site as opposed to the stop-and-go type noise on the Parkview site. 4/2/84 85 MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Demsher, referring the two requests to the Planning Commission for a General Plan alternative, for report and recommendation; and that staff research Mr. Johannessen' s request for report and recommendation.

BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT - SOUTHWEST OREGON GULCH - Public Firing Range (C-070-010 and A-150-166) Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated March 29, 1984, which is incorporated herein by reference. He stated that the Bureau of Land Management has completed its review of the City's application for a patent to develop a public firing range on land located in west Redding. A conditional offer of a lease-patent, a site plan, and project description were submitted to Council . Mr. Perry noted that the parcel is located approximately one mile from the west end of Riviera Drive, just outside the City limits. Mr. Perry explained the concept of relocating and creating two ranges on one site (the Record Range and the Redding Gun Club) , due to the recent acquisition of the 80 acres by the City located east of the Bureau of Land Management Parcel . He said this creates a 230-acre site. Mr•. Perry said the next phase of the project is to begin the preparation of the environmental documentation for the public hearing process. If Council approves, he said this could include the future provision for a law en- forcement range. He pointed out that the environmental documentation will also include additional noise testing. Mr. Perry explained that since the property is in the County, the City cannot conduct public hearings for environmental clearance on the project as required by the BLM; therefore, staff is recommending that Council initiate annexation proceedings. It is the recommendation of staff that staff be authorized to: 1 . Initiate the annexation of the 230-acre site. 4/2/84 86 2. Prepare the environmental documents and conduct public hearings for the development of a firing range for public purposes and a firing range for the Redding Police Department and other law enforcement agencies who wish to financially participate in its development. 3.
