(P-010-050)
A letter was received from the Peace Officers Association of Redding
advising that they will be presenting the first marathon, half-
marathon and 10K road race in the City of Redding. They asked permis-
sion to close down half of Park Marina Drive for approximately one
hour on January 12, 1985, to facilitate the large number of runners
grouped together at the beginning of the race. They advise that the
race course was designed to minimize traffic problems as it is almost
entirely run on side streets and crosses only two sizeable inter-
sections (North Market Street at Trinity Street, and South Bonnyview
at East Bonnyview) .
The City Clerk advised that this request has the approval of the Chief
of Police.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Fulton approving the request of the Peace Officers Association of
Redding to hold its marathon, half-marathon and 10K race, as proposed,
and that one lane of Park Marina Drive be closed for approximately one
hour at the beginning of the race on January 12, 1984. The Vote:

Communication from American Dream Presents, Inc. - re Booking Policy
at Redding Civic Auditorium
(A-050-040 and C-050-050)
A letter was received from Richard Clements of American Dream Pre-
sents, Inc. , a Chico based promotion business, objecting to the
booking policy at the Redding Civic Auditorium.
Mr. Clements was present and advised Council that at certain times,
agents from Los Angeles or New York say they must come up with several
dates for well-known acts. He said in a recent instance, they had
proposed a "middle of the road" act and any other show booked at the
auditorium within a three week period would eliminate their show.
Mr. Clements said they were told that this policy is for the pro-
tection of the promoters but they do not want this protection. He
felt that it should be up to the public to decide what they should or
should not see. Mr. Clements contended that other halls have the
policy that if the date is available, regardless of what type of act,
that date may be reserved.
Mr. Clements asked that Council look into this policy and contended
that if free bookings were allowed, it would increase revenue for the
City and increase flexibility for the promoters.
III
In response to an inquiry from Council Member Fulton, Mr. Clements
advised that all requests for bookings do not require a $600 deposit,
only if you are challenging a date. He noted that in the City of
Sacramento, a $2500 deposit is taken for all bookings. The deposit is
refundable if the date is cancelled. Mr. Clements stated that the
problem is that the first person to call does not have to put down a
deposit but the second one, or challenger, does.
Vice Mayor Gard asked why the holder of the first date does not have
to deposit earnest money. Auditorium Director Montgomery advised that
a tentative hold is put on a date until that date is firmed and they
have the option for first refusal . He said if someone came in and
asked for the same date, they could put a second hold or challenge on
the date. Mr. Montgomery stated that they don't pay the $600 until
the act has been confirmed.
In response to an inquiry from Council Member Fulton, Mr. Montgomery
advised that he has had a few verbal complaints about the booking
system but none to this extent. Mr. Montgomery explained that pro-
moters need this protection and this policy was adopted to keep
concerts coming back to this area. He pointed out that this is a
common policy in cities of similar size and the policy should be
continued until the population and drawing area grows. At that time,
he said the three week period for similar type acts could be reduced
to two weeks or one week. III
Mr. Clements commented that they have a free booking policy in Chico
and it has not effected their draw. He said they have talked with
Rocking Chair Promoters who, along with American Dream Presents are
the two major promoters in Northern California , and they do not want
the protection.
11/5/84
311
Council Member Pugh asked that this matter be referred back to staff
for further study and data on similar systems of comparable size and
types of shows. He felt Mr. Montgomery' s policy is geared to protect
the use of the Auditorium; however, he is concerned about the $600
deposit not being paid until the date is firmed.
Council Members concurred and the matter was referred back to staff
for further study.
Popovics Productions
(C-050-050)

Demsher approving the request from Popovics Productions as stated
above conditioned upon the receipt of an approved certificate of
insurance. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

LaBella' s property. He said there may be a higher than anticipated
cost involved to bring the sewer line to the property line. Mr.
Sperry indicated that the costs should be known by the November 19,

until that time.

Ester George, 1030 Quartz Hill Road, stated that during the County
hearing on this matter, about 14 parcels were not to pay the initial
assessments on this project and now the City is asking for an assess-
ment district to be formed. She said the thing that bothers her the
most is that the contractors are blasting without notification to the
residents. She noted that this blasting has caused cracks in her
porch and sidewalks. Mrs. George felt they are being misused just to
achieve what Mr. LaBella wants. She said many of her neighbors feel
the same way.
Tom Gillette, 1050 Quartz Hill Road, said the destiny of his property
is tied to the destiny of the George property. He said very little of
the public knows what is going on with this assessment district. Mr.
Gillette questioned how the City of Redding is going to finance the
development of a persons property to guaranty they will make a profit.

Planning Commission recommendation dated October 31 , 1984
Senior Associate Planner Keaney reviewed the Planning Director's
memorandum to Council dated October 31 , 1984. He stated that the
Planning Commission has recommended approval of General Plan Amendment
GPA-8-84 which is an amendment to the Quartz Hill Area Plan. Mr.
Keaney explained that the proposed amendment would add 114 acres along
Lake Boulevard, north of Keswick Dam Road and two square miles of
mostly undeveloped territory to the north, to the original 8.89 square
miles of the plan.
Mr. Keaney stated that this proposed amendment is based on two amend-
ment applications received at the same time. One request is to reduce
residential densities for property along Quartz Hill Road west of Lake
Boulevard and the second request is to increase densities on property
fronting on Lake Boulevard north of Quartz Hill Road. He explained
that the Planning Commission expanded the study area to include land
north of Keswick Dam Road and extending west and north to the Sacra-
mento River and the limits of the Redding Sphere of Influence. Maps
of the area were shown on the Vu Graph and posted on the wall .
Council was given copies of letters in support or opposition to the
proposed amendments.

It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff that
Council recertify EIR-2-82 with the Addendum to address the added
areas, and adopt a resolution approving GPA-8-84 as depicted on the
recommended plan.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry added that the road
alignment between Quartz Hill Road and Keswick Dam Road is not the
exact plan line but will require further study. He also explained
that when a property is subdivided, it is the General Plan that
determines how many lots will be permitted, even if the zoning allowed
more.
Robert Davis, 1934 Lake Blvd. , disagreed with the Planning Commission
recommendation to change the zoning on Lake Boulevard, north of Quartz
Hill Road, to 6.0 units per acre. He said he does not see the consis-
tency since the majority of people live on z acre parcels. Mr. Davis
said the burden on the property owners is very great. He also sub-
mitted letters of opposition from two elderly neighbors Stella
Metropoulas and Ruth Miller.
Warren Lytle, 2944 Quartz Hill Road, stated that when the neighborhood
submitted the General Plan Amendment, it was with the understanding
that the density would be two homes per acre. He said R-20 is the
zoning they had assumed would be on the property.
Tom Carl , Jakes Road, asked who will pay for the paved road and sewer
assessments. He felt it is not fair for the existing property owners
to pay for those services.
Council Member Pugh explained that what is allowed there is already
there and much of the proposed changes are reductions in density.
Mr. Perry explained the development policy. He pointed out that
annexations are based on California law and must have more than a
majority vote. He added that assessment districts require a 60%
sign-up of land area. Mr. Perry stated that the City is proposing a
plan of development for the next 20 years and property owners, the
City, and the County will be looking at that plan to determine how to
develop their properties.
Kieth Fontes , 3230 Quartz Hill Road, said he is concerned about
raising the density of property adjacent to his. He said he has lived
there since 1979 and he is opposed to multiple residential zoning.
Ralph McMeekin, 1750 Quartz Hill Road, said he is concerned about the
cost of the proposed roads. He also expressed his concern about
raising densities where there are no sewers and putting in another
road that will not reduce traffic on Quartz Hill and Lake Boulevard.
Margie Illingworth, Quartz Hill Road, asked about the purpose of
another road. She said increasing the densities will decrease their
property values.
Mr. Perry 'noted that densities can be increased under any General Plan
classification when sewers are brought in. He reiterated that the
General Plan is to guide property owners who are developing their
properties.
Mary Steinfeld, 2960 Quartz Hill Road, said the original application
was a much smaller plan and none of the problems that have been
presented pertain to the original plan area. She asked that Council
approve at least the original plan area.
11/5/84
316
Kathy Fontes, 3230 Quartz Hill Road, said she is opposed to the road
and opposed to more multiple dwellings on Lake Boulevard. She noted
that this also has a negative affect on schools because of the tran-
sient nature of the residents.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member
Demsher that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Pugh noted that the General Plan procedure is cumber-
some and sometimes confusing. He added that the General Plan is a
basic land use plan and guide while the zoning is applied to the
nature of the use.
Vice Mayor Gard commented that possibly a hand-out of the General Plan
procedure would be helpful to the public.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Pugh that EIR-2-82 be recertified, with the Addendum, as adequately
addressing the impacts of the proposed Plan amendments; and finding
that changes or alterations have been incorporated into the Area Plan
which mitigate the potentially significant impacts. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
Resolution
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member

PUBLIC HEARING - re Revocation of Operating Permit for Redding Transit
(T-100-070)
The hour of 7:30 P.M. , having arrived, Vice Mayor Gard opened the
public hearing re revocation of operating permit for Redding Transit.
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 Vice Mayor ascertained that there were no protests from the floor.
Public Works Director Arness advised that this hearing is a result of
continued non-compliance by Redding Transit to conform to operating
conditions applied in 1981 . He advised that conditions dealing with
fees, licenses, and insurance are now current; however, bus stop signs
have not been installed and removable sign covers have not been
installed at the terminal location to cover parking meters during the
days of operation.
It is the recommendation of staff to rescind Redding Transit's permit
to operate within the City due to its failure to comply with all the
conditions of their permit. It is further recommended that the
Finance Department be directed to refund the unused portion of the
fees collected for the balance of 1984.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member
Pugh that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Pugh, asked about Mr. Hoeflich's contention that his
request for change of bus stop locations has not yet been been
addressed.
Mr. Arness pointed out that numerous letters have been written to Mr.
Hoeflich indicating the approved sign locations and the other condi-
tions of his permit. He also noted that the City even left sign posts
up for Mr. Hoeflich' s use.
Council Member Demsher emphasized that this has been going on since
1981 and Mr. Hoeflich has never complied with the conditions that were
required of him. He said the City has extended the process to give
Mr. Hoeflich ample time to comply with the signing requirement and
still there is a lack of compliance. Mr. Demsher maintained that the
Council and the Redding Area Bus Authority have been extremely patient
with Mr. Hoeflich.

1984. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
Request from J. Scott Carter - re Prohibition of Motorcycles on the
Sacramento River Trail
(P-050-460)
A letter was received from Mr. J. Scott Carter requesting that an
ordinance be adopted to prohibit the use of motorcycles, dirt bikes,
and three wheelers on the Sacramento River Trail . He noted that he
has requested that the City Attorney prepare such an ordinance and
also that signs be posted warning motorcyclists of violation of the
law if they use the trail . Mr. Carter's letter pointed out other
problems such as parking, litter, and the use of the trail by hunters
who shoot their weapons within the City limits. He also said he will
be requesting an environmental impact study so that these problems can
be addressed.
Mr. Carter was present and advised Council that he started this
request about seven months and staff has not responded. He noted that
the problems on the trail are disturbing the wildlife as well . Mr.
Carter advised that yesterday there was a four-wheel-drive vehicle
using the trail and because of the raceway-type design of the trail ,
it is very inviting. He pointed out there are no barriers there to
keep these vehicles out. Mr. Carter contended that the trail is an
attractive nuisance and will be a liability problem for the City.
Council Member Demsher said he has walked the trail and ridden his
bicycle and noted that dips and curves would be very dangerous for
motorcyclists. Vice Mayor Gard pointed out that the trail is also for
equestrian use and horses do not mingle well with motorcycles.
City Attorney Hays explained that the City presently has no control
over people coming onto the trail from Keswick Dam Road, across BLM
land.
Vice Mayor Gard stated she is concerned that no one at City Hall has
responded to this issue. She emphasized that everyone has worked long
and hard to establish this trail and these kinds of problems must be
addressed so that a few do not spoil it for the many.
Council Member Pugh noted that access must be provided for those in
wheelchairs and therefore motorcyclists could easily access it.
City Attorney Hays advised that he has had discussions with the
Planning staff regarding barrier designs. Mr. Perry stated that signs
are being prepared and an ordinance is being drafted in his department
to address this issue.
Vice Mayor Gard said temporary signs should be placed on the trail as
soon as possible.
Mr. Perry advised that the ordinance should be ready by the second
meeting in November or first meeting in December.

NORTH FORK POWER PROJECT - Co-Development by Redding and Santa Clara
(E-120-070-030)
Electric Director Lindley reviewed hi's memorandum to Council dated November
1 , 1984, which is incorporated herein by reference. He advised that
subsequent to the receipt of the preliminary permit for the American River
North Fork Dam Power Project, staff has investigated the feasibility of
project construction. Mr. Lindley explained that staff has been negotiat-
ing with the City of Santa Clara with regard to joint development of the
project. He said the proposed arrangement credits Redding for its initial
cost to file and secure the preliminary permit and provides for sharing the
remaining costs to file the license application before the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission. During the FERC license review period, the City of
III Redding and the City of Santa Clara will negotiate the necessary agreements
for each City to jointly finance, construct and receive its power from the
project.
Mr. Lindley related that Resource Management International , Inc: has
proposed to prepare the FERC license application for the total sum of
11/5/84
320
$27,500. He said Redding' s share will be $10,982. In addition to the
initial cost for license application preparation, Mr. Lindley explained
that FERC probably will require additional work to be done by the appli-
cants during the review process, the cost of which is unknown at this time.
He said staff estimates Redding' s share of those costs should not exceed
$50,000.
It is the recommendation of the Electric Director that Council approve the
MOU between the City of Redding and the City of Santa Clara for co-prepara-
tion of the license application and co-development of the project under
terms acceptable to the City of Redding and the City of Santa Clara if the
license is granted, and that the City Manager and the City Clerk be author-
ized to execute the MOU and the Proposal for services between the City of
Redding and RMI , Inc.
In response to an inquiry from Council Member Fulton, Mr. Lindley advised
that the project will generate 12 megawatts of power and could come on line
in the 55 to 60 mil range in 1984 dollars. He said the risk factor is
minimal for the project.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Demsher, seconded by Council Member Fulton
approving the recommendation of staff and authorizing the City Manager and
City Clerk to execute the MOU and the Proposal for services between the
City of Redding and RMI , Inc. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

CHANGE OF CONSULTANT - California Power Pool Study
(E-120)
Electric Director Lindley reviewed his memorandum to Council dated November
1 , 1984, which is incorporated herein by reference. He said the results of
the Stage I work of the California Power Pool Study has indicated that
there are substantial benefits available to the members of the study group
if a power pool comprised of the same participants were formed (NCPA,
Modesto Irrigation District, Turlock Irrigation District, Sacramento
Municipal Utility District, City of Santa Clara, City of Redding and
Western Area Power Administration) . He added that SMUD entered into a
contract with Southern Engineering Company of Georgia (Southern) to perform
the Power Pool Study.
Mr. Lindley stated that it has been determined by the participants' rep-
resentatives that the contract with Southern should be terminated and
another consultant hired to complete the study. He said SMUD has entered
into a consulting services agreement with R.W. Beck and Associates for the
completion of the study.
11/5/84
321
Mr. Lindley noted that the new agreement for Stage II is for $205,000,
which represents an additional cost to Redding of $3,857 more than Council
originally authorized on February 21 , 1984.
It is the recommendation of the Electric Director that Council approve the
increased expenditure and authorize the City Manager to sign the attached
new letter of agreement between the City of Redding and the parties to the
original letter of agreement for the California Power Pool Study. Mr.
Lindley said this letter agreement has been approved as to form by the City
Attorney and sufficient funds are included in the current budget.
Council Member Fulton asked why SMUD changed consultants in mid-stream.
Council Member Pugh responded that there was a problem with Southern
providing hard data to preview and make a firm choice. He said the end
results and concepts were good but there was a lack of hard data.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Pugh, seconded by Council Member Fulton
approving the increased expenditure and authorizing the City Manager to
sign the new letter of agreement for the California Power Pool Study. The
