The City Attorney reported that since that time staff and legal counsel for the McConnell 's have negotiated a proposed agreement which would satisfy the concerns of the McConnell ' s and the City and permit the project to go forward. He presented a draft of the proposed agreement to Council which included a map identifying properties referred to in the agreement. 6/7/84 158 Mr. Hays explained that Mr. McConnell proposes to transfer Parcels 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, including assessments totalling approximately $54,500, to the City, in exchange for Parcel #1 . He proposed that the 9.8 acres fronting on Churn Creek Road, and assessments totalling $80,050, be retained by him. Mr. Hays explained that Parcel #1 (fronting on Churn Creek Road) is the site of an electrical substation which is not being used. It is proposed that the substation be removed at the expense of the City; however, he noted that if Mr. McConnell wants to move ahead with his project before the substation is removed, there is a provision in the agreement that would allow him to relocate it at his expense to a location specified by the City. Mr. Hays pointed out that Paracel #10 may be sold by the City; however, the money must be used to provide park and recreational facilities. He said other restrictions are proposed pertaining to the use of the remaining parcels, i .e. 50% of the property shall be used for park purposes and the remaining 50% shall be used for other appropriate municipal purposes. In response to an inquiry from Council Member Demsher, Mr. Hays advised that if this agreement is approved in substantially the same form, the Assessment District is in place and ready to proceed. He said the end result is that the law suit filed by Dugan Barr on behalf of Mr. McConnell , would be dismissed. Mr. Hays noted that a few minutes ago, he found out that Fred Per; has also filed suit on the Wilson property; however, the City and the R.R.A. could front the money for Mr. Per; ' s assessments until the law suit is settled. Mr. Hays advised that in order for this transfer to be accomplished, the City Council must declare Parcel #1 surplus and authorize the transfer of title to the R.R.A. The Council would then turn to the R.R.A. to approve transfer of title of the property to Mr. McConnell and authorize signing of the document by the Chair and the Secretary of the Agency. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Gard, that Parcel #1 be declared surplus and be transferred to the Redding Redevelopment Agency. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Gard authorizing the execution of the Agreement between Carl & Leah McConnell , the Redding Redevelopment Agency, and the City of Redding , for Transfer of Property and Payment of Assessment.
