He said there is sufficient room with paving as it exists today to provide a left turn pocket and still provide bus stopping/parking on Placer. Mr. Arness also stated that the City will again review completion of the missing curb and gutter on the north side of Placer to complete the transition and needed roadway improvements in this area. The use of Chapter 27 funding procedures may be used in this situation. Mr. Arness advised that Mrs. Morrow has been advised of the City' s inten- tions for the establishment of the left turn lane. No action was required on this matter. Request to Present Petitions - re Removal of Stepping Stones Houses (P-150-150) John R. Mullen, 2810 Wilson Avenue, requested to appear before Council to present petitions requesting the removal of Stepping Stones Houses (homes for troubled children) from their neighborhood because of ongoing police problems. Planning and Community Development Director Perry advised that the State of California has passed laws concerning the establishment of these homes which preempts the City' s zoning and building code re- quirements. He said for that reason, the Planning Commission chose, several years ago, not to require use permits for this type of use. Mr. Perry suggested that the only thing the Council can do is accept the petitions and pass them along to the appropriate State agency. He emphasized that this basically a legislative action. City Attorney Hays explained that the State has determined that these youths must spend time in the type of environment that they must be expected to function in. He said the City's hands are tied in making any judgements or decisions on where these homes are located. Mayor Kirkpatrick commented that since the City has no power to interfere in this matter, Council may accept the petitions and turn them over to the appropriate State legislators. Council Member Gard suggested a use permit would provide a public hearing and an opportunity for the neighbors to understand what the purpose of the homes is and the perceived goals. She felt it would help from a public education point of view. Council Member Demsher pointed out that the request cites police problems. He said even though the City does not have jurisdiction over the establishment of the homes, there may be some areas where it can get involved. Mr. Demsher suggested asking the Police Chief for a report regarding the police problems that have occurred in the neigh- borhood. He noted that even though this may be a State jurisdiction, there are some local problems. Mr. John Mullen presented a three-page petition from neighbors requesting that the Stepping Stones homes be removed from their neighborhood. He cited poor supervision as the primary problem. Council Member Pugh asked Mr. Mullen if he has presented these alle- gations to the State Department of Social Services. He noted that the City can only handle the complaints within its jurisdiction. Mr. Mullen advised that he has talked with a gentleman in the State offices in Chico today and plans to contact State representatives. 10/15/84 294 City Attorney Hays advised that he will ask the Police Chief to put together a report. Mr. Pugh asked for a report back by November 5, if possible. Mr. Mel Steinberg, Executive Director of Stepping Stones Homes, advised that he operates five homes in Redding. He pointed out that he has received only five complaint calls from neighbors in the last year and one half. Mr. Steinberg emphasized that Stepping Stones handles kids with problems but every child is disciplined for bad actions. He felt there is a lack of knowledge and a fear of the unknown. Mr. Steinberg said the homes are open for anyone to see and he hopes the neighbors will come and visit. He indicated that each complaint from a neighbor is personally handled. Council Member Gard said she would like to see if the Planning Commis- sion is interested in the use permit process for these homes. Mr. Pugh noted that there is not provision for a use permit application for less than six residents and all but one of these homes have six or less. The three-page petition was accepted and no action was taken at this time. One Can Feed Families Project (A-050-060) A communication was received regarding the "One Can Feed Families" project which was initiated in 1983 by the Redding International House of Pancakes Restaurant and Soroptimist International of Redding. It was noted that last year enough food was collected to provide 106 families with groceries to last for up to a week. The letter explained that this year the project will also be be co-sponsored by the Rotary Club of Redding and the goal is increased to 200 families. It was noted that citizens of Shasta County will be encouraged to bring cans of food to the Redding International House of Pancakes Restaurant which will be the collection center. The restau- rant will donate turkeys and also provide for all paid advertising for the project.

ORDINANCE - re Speed Limits on Magnolia Avenue (T-080-750) Public Works Director Arness advised that the Traffic and Parking Commis- sion reviewed a request from Scott Kuykendall , 1305 Magnolia, for the establishment of a 4-way stop at the intersection of Magnolia and Shasta and the establishment of a 25 mph zone. Mr. Arness said staff recommended that the stop sign request be denied based on the inability to meet State and Federal warrant guidelines. Based on data collected for the establishment of a speed zone, staff could not 10/15/84 299 support a 25 mph zone; however, they did recommend the establishment of a 30 mph speed zone. It is the recommendation of staff that an ordinance be offered for first reading establishing a 30 mph speed zone on Magnolia from Placer to Eureka Way. Council Member Demsher offered Ordinance No. 1701 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Chapter 11 .12 of the Redding Municipal Code by adding Part 55 to Subsection B of Section 11 .12.010, pertaining to speed limits on certain streets.

MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Fulton approving the final map for Mary Lake Subdivision, Unit No. 3, and author- izing the Mayor to sign the Subdivision Agreement, and instructing the City Clerk to file the map with the Shasta County Recorder. The Vote: Unani- mous Ayes with Council Member Pugh abstaining HANDBILLS AND POSTERS (C-110-100) Mayor Kirkpatrick advised that this discussion has been brought to the Council at the request of Mrs. Pearl Leibel to address the issue of handing out commercial handbills. Mr. Kirkpatrick asked if it is correct that a conflict exists in the Municipal Code on this subject. City Clerk Nichols advised that the Code prohibits commercial handbills in one section, while providing for a license fee in another section. City Attorney Hays pointed out that the Code provides for a license fee for non-commercial handbills. Mayor Kirkpatrick suggested that the City Clerk, City Attorney, and himself should get together and discuss this provision. Mr. Hays explained that Council can either allow the distribution of handbills or not. In response to an inquiry from Mayor Kirkpatrick, Mr. Hays advised that this section of the Code is being enforced when the activity is reported. Mr. Hays pointed out that if commercial handbills are allowed, other types of problems will have to the dealt with. Mr. Hays advised that the major- ity of jurisdictions do not allow the distribution of commercial handbills; however, there are some that do. Pearl Leibel , 5701 Wildwood Drive, said her original request asked for a temporary permit to allow time for the City to study this matter. She said the merchants in Redding are restricted to very limited means of advertis- ing and many are having trouble finding reasonable ways to advertise. Mrs. Leibel proposes that her advertising sheets will be placed in a plastic bag and placed on door knobs to prevent littering. She said she spoke to a 10/15/84 300 Police Department representative and he saw no problem as far as that Department is concerned. Mr. Hays advised that, in order for the City to allow this type of business to occur, the ordinance would have to be amended. He noted that if Council decides to allow this distribution, it would be difficult to create a rational distinction about where they could be placed. Council Member Gard said she has some problems with allowing this type of activity since it would give a legitimate excuse to welcome door-to-door solicitation in neighborhoods. It would also give the opportunity for the distributor to see if anyone is home. Mayor Kirkpatrick felt that those people that want to abide by the laws, do so, and those that do not, will be distributing in neighborhoods regardless of the Code. Council Member Demsher said he doubts that many people are aware of the ordinance. He said this ordinance will not prevent law-breakers from entering neighborhoods, but his main concern is that what begins as adver- tisement, ends up as litter. Mr. Demsher felt that should be avoided if possible. Council Member Fulton felt that besides the litter and security problems, control would be difficult. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Gard that Chapter 6.36 of the Redding Municipal Code pertaining to handbills and posters, not be changed. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Demsher, Fulton, Gard, and Pugh Noes: Council Members - Kirkpatrick Absent: Council Members - None Council Member Demsher expressed his appreciation to Mrs. Leibel for bringing this request to Council and regrets that she is denied the oppor- tunity to conduct her business. Mayor Kirkpatrick instructed the City Attorney to meet with the City Clerk and her staff on the following day, to clarify any doubts they may have about the ordinance. Council Member Pugh asked that staff contact anyone who is violating this ordinance and let them know they are in violation. CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES AND PERSONAL INJURY - 1st Hearing Edward Ryan, M.D. - Claim for Damages filed 9/27/84 Recommend denial (C-090-020) Council Member Fulton advised that Dr. Ryan has explained the circumstances of this claim to him and he feels that more investigation may be warranted. City Attorney Hays explained that an extensive memo was written by the Electric Department and it was determined by the Insurance Committee that the damage was beyond the control of the City. MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Pugh that Claim for Damages filed on 9/27/84, by Edward Ryan, M.D. , be denied. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Demsher, Gard, Pugh, and Kirkpatrick Noes: Council Members - None Abstain: Council Members - Fulton 10/15/84 301 SUMMONS AND COMPLAINTS (C-090-100) City Attorney Hays advised that the following Summons and Complaint has been filed with the City: William Farrell , Hillary Farrell and Andrew Norman by Attorneys Barr, Newlan & Sinclair vs. City of Redding et al URGENCY ITEM - re Use of Grandstands at Redding Rodeo Grounds (C-090-100 and C-050-560) City Attorney Hays advised that the new grandstands at the Rodeo Grounds has resulted in more activity and the City is receiving requests to use those facilities in a time frame which is not always compatible with the City Council meetings. He advised that the lease states the City Council must act on the sublease or use of that facility. Mr. Hays indicated that a request has been received to use that facility on October 20, 1984, and asked that it declared an urgency item. Mayor Kirkpatrick declared this an urgency item. MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Demsher approving a request from the Redding Enterprise FFA, to hold an equestrian even at the Redding Rodeo Grounds grandstands, on October 20, 1984. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Mr. Hays advised that he has met with members of the Redding Rodeo Asso- ciation regarding the terms of their lease. Mr. Hays indicated that he would review the lease and recommend to the City Council that a different procedure be established to sublease that facility. Council Member Gard suggested that if it is determined that events can be scheduled by administrative approval , some consideration should be given to coordination of parking with the Civic Auditorium. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS (L-040-150) Council Member Gard advised that the League of California Cities has information concerning Proposition 36 for any individual or organization who is interested on what the impact will be. Also, a list is available of some of the organizations that are opposing Proposition 36. Council Member Pugh commented that the cost has already been astronomical just to place this proposition on the ballot. He said this has cost the taxpayers a substantial amount of money already because public agencies have had to do a considerable amount of refinancing due to this pending legislation.

He also pointed out that the OTT Engi- neer' s report on the proposed project was funded by Shasta County, the City of Redding, and the Shasta Dam Area Public Utilities District and notices of meetings were sent to all adjoining jurisdictions, including Anderson.
