He noted that the total assessments paid in cash amount to approximately $380,000, so that the total amount of the bonds for the project will be approximately $1 ,600,000. Mr. Sperry said it would therefore be in order to approve the amended Engineer' s Report to reduce the assessments, authorize the issuance of bonds and award the contract. He advised that Mr. Jim Gibbs from Boettcher & Company, Inc. , the bond purchasers, is present if Council has any ques- tions. Jim Gibbs, Vice President of Boettcher & Company, Inc. , explained that the interest rates they are offering on the bonds for this project are consis- tent in todays market with "AA" California revenue bonds. He indicated that the dollar amount is 94% of the principal amount of the bonds and this discount will be used to pay insurance premiums, bond salesmen, etc. Mr. Gibbs said they decided to pursue an insurance rating rather than marketing the bonds in the traditional manner. This resulted in a "AAA" rating on the bonds and a savings to the people in the assessment district of over $200,000 during the life of the bonds.

He noted this recommendation is based on the fact that the unrepresented employees are a productive and dedicated group and wage increases in the past have not kept up with the cost of living index. Mr. Bristow added that this increase is consistent with increases granted to other municipal agencies. He pointed out that this recommendation does not include any equity in- creases and noted that some changes will be recommended in the alignment of the salary plan at the time the personnel program and Memoranda of Under- standing are presented to the City Council for approval . Mr. Bristow also requested authorization to fill two positions at the Carter House Museum, effective July 1 , 1984.

ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, at the hour of 4:42 P.M. , Mayor Kirkpatrick declared the meeting adjourned. APPROVED: ' s/ ' didti Mayor ATTEST: 461a City Clerk I III 6/25/84 202 asked for a pole light for the safety of the picketers but nothing has been done. He also noted that the store' s landscaping has gone completely to weeds. Mr. Hurley asked that the City do more to support their efforts and suggested that a committee be formed to look at the zoning ordinance so that this doesn't happen again. Mr. Hurley pointed out some of the efforts made in other communities to handle these kinds of problems and asked that Council consider hiring a special prosecutor to work exclusively on this issue. He emphasized that there is a causal link between pornography and sex crimes and asked that the City be more aggressive in the partnership. Mayor Kirkpatrick emphasized that at this point there has been no lessening on the part of the City Council to enforce the laws we have on the books and he expressed the hope that the City will win its battle in the U.S. District Court. Communication from Pearl Liebel - re "Handbills and Posters" (C-110-100) Pearl Liebel advised that she was forced to stop her business plans due to a Redding ordinance pertaining to "Handbills and Posters" (Chapter 6.36). She said she has been preparing to open a new adver- tising business called Redding Ad Runners which would include advertising in the form of flyers, coupons , and/or samples , to be delivered in plastic bags and hung on doorknobs of potential cus- tomers' homes. Ms. Liebel noted that according to the ordinance, it is unlawful for her to operate such a business; however, she noted that the ordinance is confusing and contradictory. She suggested that she be issued a six month permit so that Council can gauge the response and attitude toward her business. Mayor Kirkpatrick stated that he spoke with Ms. Liebel and asked her to bring these points in a letter to Council . He advised that he has talked with the City Attorney on this matter and it appears that this may be a good time to draft an ordinance which would allow this type of business to occur. Council Member Pugh noted that Ms. Liebel has made some valid points which need to be addressed. MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member Pugh that the above matter be referred to the City Attorney for report and recommendation regarding Chapter 6.36 of the Redding Municipal Code to allow handbills. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Message from Mayor of Offenbach Germany and Presentation of Plaque by Bea Tomicich (A-050-140) Bea Tomicich, Spokesperson for the Firemen's Foreign Exchange Program, reported that 37 northern California firemen went to Germany this last May. She emphasized that since its inception in 1975, this program has become more than an exchange of firemen and has become an exchange of Americans and Germans. Mrs. Tomicich advised that the Mayor of Offenbach asked that she extend his personal invitation to any of the members of Council to visit him if they are in Germany. A plaque from the Mayor of Offenbach was presented to Fire Chief Erichsrud at this time. Mrs. Tomicich also announced that City Council members are invited to attend a reception at Mr. & Mrs. Speulda' s home. 7/16/84 203 PETITION AND LETTER OF PROTEST FROM CHURN CREEK BOTTOM RESIDENTS - re 115 KV East Loop Transmission Line (E-090-160-200) Electric Director Lindley advised that in early 1983, a general trans- mission route was chosen which would cross the Churn Creek bottom area. He said that following the public hearings pertaining to the Environmental Impact Report on the general route of the line, the Electric Department approached PGandE concerning joint pole construction along portions of the proposed route. At that time, PGandE refused permission to the City to use joint construction. Mr. Lindley pointed out that the Electric Department then proposed a route change which would reduce the conflict with PGandE and this change is the subject of the protests from the Niles Lane and Churn Creek Road residents. He said that through continued negotiations with PGandE, they have agreed to joint construction with the City' s transmission line in the Churn Creek Bottom area. Mr. Lindley emphasized that the City appreciates the willingness of PGandE to agree to this joint construction and because of this agreement, the alternative route along Niles Lane is no longer necessary. PUBLIC HEARING - re Abandonment Application A-2-84, by John Hoeflich (A-010-100) The hour of 7:30 P.M. , having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the public hearing re Abandonment Application A-2-84, by John Hoeflich. . 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 Planning Commission recommendation dated July 16, 1984 The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received. Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo- randum to Council dated July 16, 1984. He stated that the Planning Commission has recommended denial of the request to abandon portions of Laurel , Arcade, and Milo Avenues. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph and the draft negative declaration was submitted to Council . It is the opinion of the Planning Commission and staff that any street-easement abandonments at this time in this area could produce landlocked parcels or require access to occur over more difficult terrain on other existing paper-street easements. He pointed out that this fact makes the redevelopment of the old subdivision impossible without assembling parcels or creating new roads. It is the recommendation of the Commission and staff that Abandonment Application A-2-84, be denied. John Hoeflich, 1718 Logan Street, said he submitted this application because these paper streets don't meet the present criteria for City streets. He noted that Laurel and Milo Avenues would be on a grade of approximately 30%. He supported the City's plans for development of this area. John Osburn, of Burney, said he owns the four lots directly below Mr. Hoeflich's. He contended that his parcels would be land-locked if 7/16/84 204 this abandonment were allowed. He noted that it would also land-lock two more lots below his. MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Fulton that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Fulton that Abandonment Application A-2-84, by John Hoeflich be denied. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - re Abandonment Application A-4-84, by Thomas Russell (A-010-100) The hour of 7:30 P.M. , having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the public hearing re Abandonment Application A-4-84, by Thomas Russell . 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 Planning Commission recommendation dated July 12, 1984 The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received. Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo- randum to Council dated July 12, 1984. He stated that the Planning Commission has recommended denial of the request to abandon Yuba Street east of Mesa Street for a distance of 140 feet. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph and the draft negative declaration was submitted to Council . Mr. Perry explained that the right-of-way of the proposed abandonment is 60 feet and is bounded on both sides by a single-family residence fronting on Mesa Street. He said if abandoned, 30 feet would revert to the owner to the north and 30 feet to the owner to the south. Mr. Perry related that both the Commission and staff do feel that the right-of-way may be necessary in the future to provide access for the potential development of the property between the alley and Highland Avenue right-of-way. He said there is a one-acre parcel located south of Yuba Street and east of the alley which contains only one resi- dence, and has the potential to be split into three lots with standard access available. Mr. Perry added that the abandonment would also preclude the two lots on the north side of Yuba Street and east of the alley from ever having standard street access, and in effect, creating nonconforming lots. It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that Abandonment Application A-4-84, be denied. Thomas Russell , 1555 Mesa Street, pointed out that Council did abandon Yuba Street between Mesa and Pleasant Streets in 1977. He felt Highland Drive is sufficient access to the one acre parcel . Mr. Russell suggested that the City maintain a 20 foot easement down the center of the property. Mr. Perry indicated that the Municipal Code requires that in order to create a lot, it must front on a dedicated and improved street. He also noted that Highland and Placer could be a very dangerous inter- section. 7/16/84 205 Mr. Russell questioned why one portion of a street can be abandoned and not another. Mr. Perry responded that the section of Yuba Street between Mesa and Pleasant was not needed for improved frontage. MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member Pugh that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Fulton that Abandonment Application A-4-84, by Thomas Russell , be denied. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Variance Application V-13-84, by Lee Funderburg (L-010-030) The hour of 7:30 P.M. , having arrived, Mayor Kirkpatrick opened the public hearing re appeal of Variance Application V-13-84, by Lee Funderburg. 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 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 July 12, 1984, which is incorporated herein by reference. He stated that the Planning Commission has denied the request by the applicant to construct a two-car carport and covered storage area encroaching into the required ten-foot side-yard setback on property located at 3575 Riverview Drive. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry said the Planning Commission felt that they could not make the necessary findings in order to approve a variance. It is the recommendation of the staff that the appeal be denied and the action of the Commission be upheld. MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Fulton that the public hearing be closed.

RIGHT-OF-WAY EXCHANGE - Sunnyhill Lane (C-070-200 and S-070-100) Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated July 12, 1984. He stated that in June of this year, Council designated property adjacent to Sunnyhill Lane as surplus property. Mr. Perry said prior to the City' s annexation of this land, the County attempted to exchange it through an agreement with two adjacent property owners in order to relocate Sunnyhill Lane to opposite Bechelli Lane. He explained that the road relocation was not completed because one of the parties to the agreement was unable to perform and a recent court case rescinded the agreement. Mr. Perry stated that the developers of the Eagle Court office building have already constructed a portion of the extension of Sunnyhill Lane and dedicated street right-of-way on their property. They have requested that the City proceed with the exchange of property, with them being solely responsible for construction of the Sunnyhill Lane relocation and providing any additional land necessary for the realignment. Mr. Perry explained that the attorney for the property owner to the south, who was unable to perform, has demanded by letter that the land be set for 7/16/84 207 public auction or that the City negotiate with his client and Eagle Pro- perties. He said the proposal before Council at this time is essentially the same as proposed in 1980 except the owner to the south is not a part, the road has been shifted northward, and only two-thirds of the street would be built. Mr. Perry noted that this exchange has been forwarded to CalTrans for comments. It is the recommendation of staff that Council authorize the exchange as outlined and that the Mayor be authorized to sign the necessary papers. Al Damgaard, property owner to the south, pointed out that a court case revoked his contract and the contract with Eagle Court to relocate Sunnyhill Lane. He objected to the proposed land exchange with Eagle Court and contended that it is a gift of public funds. Mr. Damgaard said he has offered to build the road, dedicate his property, and donate $10,000 to the City. He said this offer has been refused. Mr. Damgaard maintained that the property is worth much more than the cost of building the road. He said he will be required to give away property in order to develop his property. In response to an inquiry from Council Member Pugh, Mr. Damgaard indicated that his proposal has been submitted in writing to the City. City Attorney Hays stated that this proposed exchange is based on the value of the property in 1980 when one of the parties refused to perform and a rescission action resulted. Mr. Damgaard contended that in 1980, the City required him to have full title to his property, yet no such requirements have been made from Eagle Court. He said he has furnished the City with clear title to the property. Mr. Hays stated that Mr. Damgaard did not own the property in 1980 and when the City receives right-of-way for roads, it is a requirement to have unencumbered use of the property. He said Mr. Damgaard was not able to provide this under the original contract. Mr. Damgaard stressed that the property should be put up for public auction or sold to the highest bidder. Council Member Pugh remarked that the City is honoring an agreement that has previously been made, and it appears to be a fair and equitable trans- action. MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Fulton approving the right-of-way exchange on Sunnyhill Lane with Eagle Prop- erties, as outlined in the staff report, and authorizing the Mayor to sign the necessary documents. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RESOLUTION - Annexation Request No. 81-6, Westside Road (A-150-135) Council Member Pugh abstained from voting on this matter.

A map was shown on the Vu Graph. It is the recommendation of staff that Council adopt a resolution to exchange property taxes and a resolution to commence annexation proceed- ings. It is further recommended that the negative declaration be ratified and the Mayor be authorized to sign the annexation agreements on behalf of the City. 7/16/84 208 MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Mayor Kirkpatrick that Resolution No. 84-151 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding consenting to commencement of annexation proceedings and applying to LAFCO for approval of the annexation to the City of Redding of uninhabited territory designated City of Redding Annexation No. 81-6 (Westside Road Area) .

Mr. Perry explained that Condition No. 33 of the tentative map specifies that "The Developer is to fully construct Victor Avenue within the property and subject to the concurrence of the City Council , the developer shall receive credit for the capital improvement fee in exchange for building the full street." Mr. Perry advised that a review of the files verifies that Osgood Construction and Osgood Investments paid $14,400 in capital improve- ment fees on the development of 24 lots in Bramblewood Terrace. It should also be noted that an additional lot, 3016 Catalpa Court, has been complet- ed and the fees were paid by Ron Mygrant. Mr. Mygrant has not yet re- quested reimbursement. Mr. Perry advised that Mr. Osgood also refers to waiver of the in-lieu park fees; however staff has reviewed receipts and determined that proper credits were given and the correct amount was paid. It is recommended that Council authorize reimbursement of capital improve- ment fees to those listed below: Osgood Construction Company $8,400 Osgood Investments $6,000 Ron Mygrant $ 600 MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Mayor Kirkpatrick approving the reimbursement of capital improvement fees for Bramblewood Terrace, as stated above.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes AGREEMENT - re Resident Inspector for Churn Creek Road Overcrossing Project (A-170-020-100) Assistant City Engineer Lang reviewed the Public Works Director's memoran- dum dated July 10, 1984, which is incorporated herein by reference. He stated that when the overcrossing project was in the preliminary design phases, it became apparent that the magnitude and complexity of the Churn Creek Road Overcrossing project would require a full time resident inspec- tor for one year. He outlined the options available to the City and advised that after evaluating these options, it was determined that pro- posals should be sought from local consulting engineers. Mr. Lang briefly reviewed the experience of the four engineering firms who submitted pro- posals. He also outlined the functions of the resident engineer. It is the recommendation of staff that the firm of Frederick H. Pizzi Engineering and Surveying, Inc. be engaged to perform the work of resident inspector for the Churn Creek Road Overcrossing project. Council Member Fulton noted that he has received a brochure from Mr. Ghilardi but he has no information on Mr. Pizzi . He also asked if staff took into consideration the difference in cost proposals. Mr. Lang emphasized that the resume from Mr. Pizzi is very strong in highway construction and because of this experience he is more suitable for the work even though his hourly cost is slightly higher. Associate Civil Engineer Aasen, who will serve as project manager, submit- ted to Council an breakdown of the costs and noted that the percentage cost difference is only .4% and is relatively minimal . He emphasized that staff tried to consider experience and background as a criteria since all firms who submitted proposals were very competent and capable engineers. Mr. Ghilardi , of Ghilardi and Associates, addressed Council and concurred that the City should seek a suitable person for this project. However, he believes this person does not need the same degree of experience as was necessary for the design of the project. Mr. Ghilardi said his hourly rate is $22.75; however, he would agree to reduce that rate to $18.25 if the City could guarantee that it would be on a full time basis. He pointed out that this could save the City as much as $20,000. Mr. Ghilardi contended that his firm is able to do a good job on the project and felt it is in the best interest of the City to award the contract to his firm. Council Member Pugh maintained that staff has analyzed detailed proposals to determine the selection of Pizzi Engineering for this project and he does not see any reason not to agree with the selection. MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Fulton approving an Agreement for Engineering Services with Frederick H. Pizzi Engineering and Surveying, Inc. , to perform the function of Resident Engineer and Inspector for the Churn Creek Road Overcrossing project, and authorizing the Mayor to sign.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Council Member Pugh abstaining ORDINANCE - re Residential Parking Permits (P-030-240 and C-110-100) City Attorney Hays advised that the Traffic and Parking Commission has approved a proposal from staff for the establishment of residential parking permit areas and residential parking permit procedures. He said the proposed zone would establish a two hour maximum parking limit, but would exempt vehicles which display the correct area parking sticker. Residents could apply to the City for a sticker to be placed on their vehicles, which would be valid for a year. A fee would be charged to cover the cost of the stickers. It is the recommendation of the Traffic and Parking Commission and staff that Council adopt an ordinance approving the program on a trial basis, with Chestnut Street, north of Placer Street, being the test area. It is further recommended that during the trial period residents should not be charged and that temporary placards be issued similar to those City Commis- sioners use during City business. In response to a question from Council Member Pugh, Mr. Hays advised that the Traffic and Parking Commission hearing was well publicized and well attended by the public. Mr. Hays also pointed out that after the trial period, a resolution will be adopted establishing the zones, if the program appears to be working. Council Member Pugh offered Ordinance No. 1694 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Chapter 11 .24 of the Redding Municipal Code by adding Sections 11 .24.330 and 11 .24.340, pertaining to residential parking permit areas. SECURITY PROGRAM CONTRACTS (B-050-100) Council Member Pugh abstained from voting on this matter. City Attorney Hays advised Council that the question of going to bid on security program contracts does not appear to be required; however, if Council directs that it be done, we would need to update the specifica- tions. Council Member Fulton said he would like to see a determination made tonight whether or not the City needs to go to bid. Mr. Hays noted that the question about Vantage Security being partly owned by an employee of the City of Redding, may not be pertinent at this time but would be determined prior to the award of contract. Mr. Hays said he has discussed the security programs contracts with the Chief of Police and the Airports Director and they do not object to opening the contracts up to the bidding process. Mayor Kirkpatrick concurred that he sees no problem with going to bid with the upcoming contracts as they expire. MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Mayor Kirkpatrick that forthcoming security program contracts for the City of Redding be sent out 111 to bid.

He asked that this matter be declared an urgency item so that a determination may be made this evening. Mayor Kirkpatrick declared this matter an urgency item. Mr. Hays explained that the Redding Rodeo Association has three events scheduled which would require subleases for a Truck Pull (July 20 and 21 , 1984) , a donkey baseball game (July 22, 1984) , and a Merle Haggard concert (August 4, 1984) . The sale of alcoholic beverages is also requested during these functions. He indicated that the truck pull and the Merle Haggard concert will be sponsored by the Redding Rodeo Association and the donkey baseball game will be sponsored by Shasta Friends. In response to an inquiry from Council Member Pugh, Mr. Hays advised that that both sponsors have been informed that they will have to provide insurance for these events.
