The Vote: Unanimous Ayes 1/21/8.0 1 28 WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS State Compensation Insurance Fund City Clerk Brayton read the following letter from State Compensation Insurance Fund, dated January 3 , 1980 , addressed to Mayor Demsher and Council Members : In the past when the City of Redding earned a signifi- cant dividend on their workers' compensation policy with the State Fund, the check was presented to the City Council. This year the dividend check arrived at Christmas time and to avoid losing interest from the time the check arrived and the time the Council was scheduled to meet, the check was delivered to the City Hall on the day after Christmas. While the check has already been deposited, the employees and Council of the City of Redding should be congratulated for the outstanding achievement in controlling losses for job-related injuries. The dividend for the 1977 policy year is $147, 670. 18 . This represents a return of 45. 8% of the premium paid for workers' compensation for the period June 30 , 1977 to June 30, 1978 . When the effects of the City ' s experience modification rating of 70o for this period is combined with the dividend returned to the City of Redding, the City paid only 38. 7% of the premium that a City of equal size would normally pay. This 38 . 7% includes the cost of all claims. Again, we would like to congratulate the employees of the City of Redding for their continued excellent results in controlling and reducing the costs of workers ' compensation for the City of Redding. Sincerely, /s/ Brian Telford Brian Telford District Manager John Siddens, Public Agency Representative, State Compensation Insurance Fund, appeared before Council and stated that the City' s experience modification rating was 77% for the year 1977 while the City paid only 70% of the premium normally paid. In 1978 and 1979, the City' s premium was reduced to 45% of those normally paid. He commended the City on this excellent record. Mayor Demsher stated that this is a remarkable tribute to management, supervisory personnel and employees who carry on the day-to-day work activites. He commended said employees for this outstanding accomplishment.

APPOINTMENT OF NEW CITY ATTORNEY Mayor Demsher reviewed his memo to Council dated January 18 , 1980 pertaining to the selection committee recommendation re appointment of a new City Attorney. Mr. Demsher said the committee has completed its review of applications and interviews of the candidates, and recommends that Mr. Randall A. Hays be appointed to the position effective February 11, 1980 at a salary of $38, 000 per year, and that the City pay his moving expenses. Mr. Hays has been the City Attorney for the City of Ukiah since 1970 and is known by Redding officials through his participation in the affairs of the Northern California Power Agency. The committee is enthusiastic about having Mr. Hays become a member of the City staff. Mayor Demsher advised that City Attorney Murphy has scheduled his retirement to begin on February 15 , 1970, which will permit a few days overlap in order to allow Mr. Hays time to review the status of litigation and other elements of the office work load. Authori- zation is requested to employ Mr. Murphy on a limited part-time basis after his retirement for consultation and for continuation of his assistance to the City in matters involving NCPA. Councilman Pugh said that Mr. Murphy has been very effective for the City in dealing with NCPA. He noted that Mr. Murphy and Assist- ant City Manager Courtney have been involved with NCPA since its inception and the City needs such people to spend time in going through voluminous documents pertaining to NCPA negotiations for bonding as each bond issue builds on the previous issue and the material needs to be researched. Mr. Pugh said it is important that the City maintain its relationship with NCPA in regard to public power obtained from WAPA and for future sources for generation of power. He said that Mr. Murphy' s assistance will be advantageous in relationship to future decisions regarding the Calaveras and Lake Redding projects. City Attorney Murphy said he was not a member of the selection committee, but has known Mr. Hays for nine years and feels the committee has made an excellent recommendation. He feels Mr. Hays will be an asset to the City staff. With reference to his employment on a part-time basis, Mr. Murphy said he will submit a contract to Council at its next meeting for part-time consulting services. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Fulton confirming the appointment of Mr. Randall A. Hays as the new City Attorney for the City of Redding effective February 11, 1980 as outlined in the Mayor' s referenced memo. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes 1/21/80 32 RECOMMENDATION RE CONTAINER DEPOSIT BILL - Senate Bill 4 At its January 7, 1980 meeting, a communication was considered from Lisbeth Johnson urging Council support of Senate Bill 4 - the container deposit bill. At said meeting, Council Members said they would make a recommendation after they have had an opportunity to peruse said bill. Mayor Demsher said that Council policy is to deal only with issues that affect the City of Redding and he feels that Senate Bill 4 - the container deposit bill - will affect the City by way of increasing the capacity of the landfill. He said it will also save labor in picking up cans that are thrown on City streets and in parks . He noted, however, that the issue clearly has two sides noting that 1-)0- industry indicates it will be more costly for them. Councilman Pugh said he feels Council is deviating from its policy in considering this Senate Bill and, secondly, feels that opposing points of view have been received from citizens in the State of Oregon where container deposits have been enforced. He feels that this bill will cost someone and it is usually the consumer. Councilwoman Gard said it appears to be an energy conservation factor. She noted that Congress indicated that passage of such a bill would create job losses for some employees such as glass blowers. Councilman Pugh said that FDA regulations prohibit reuse of some bottles and authorization is being sought to change this. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Fulton that Resolution No. 80-7 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding supporting and urging passage of S .B. 4 , the container deposit bill. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Fulton, Gard, and Demsher Noes: Council Members - Kirkpatrick and Pugh Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 80-7 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. City Manager Brickwood said that because Council has made its decision with regard to Senate Bill 4, he would like to advise that he believes passage of said bill would save the City of Redding from $5000-7500 annually in labor for cleanup crews who clean up broken glass. He feels the bill is worth a try.

The City is confident that the current report continues to conform with Certificate of Conformance Program requirements. Mr. Thomas noted that approximately 275 cities across the Nation have received this Certificate; however, only 30 have been issued to cities in the State of California. He said that the City Finance Department staff is to be congratulated for this achievement. /1/0 3 Mr. Thomas stated that the June 30 , 1979 Statement includes one � 1 remaining audit exception and that the City had been successful in making improvements during the year which permitted removal of the two other audit exceptions. �')c /, 1 With respect to the Annual Financial Report, Water Utility Operation and Sewer Utility Operation, Mr. Thomas noted that the records rela- tive to property, plant and equipment for the Enterprise funds and the Sewer and Water Utility funds are incomplete and therefore, his firm is unable to express an opinion on such assets. With these exceptions, it is the opinion of Gandy, Scott and Company that the aforementioned Annual Reports present fairly the financial position of such funds as of June 30, 1979 in conformity with generally ac- cepted accounting principles. Mr. Thomas thanked the City Council and City Manager for the oppor- tunityof performing the audit for the City. He noted that in light of Propositions 4 and 13 and spiraling inflation, it is encouraging to see the staff concerned with the physical well being of the City. He thanked Mr. Courtney and Linda Downing and other staff members of the Finance Department for the many hours expended in preparation of said financial statements. Councilwoman Gard noted that she finds the reports very understandable and readable and appreciates the format. Councilman Pugh said it would be in order to thank the firm of Gandy and Scott, in addition to City staff members, for the time they have put in on these statements in order to achieve the Certificate.

Traffic Engineer Hamilton reviewed the staff memo to Council dated January 15, 1980. He noted that the recommended speed zones for fourteen streets are based on Engineering and Traffic Surveys con- ducted in 1979 according to the requirements of the Vehicle Code and will permit enforcement by City radar units. He noted that Vu Graphs are available for each street if Council Members have questions or comments pertaining to a particular area. It is the staff recommendation that Council adopt the speed zones as presented. An ordinance has been prepared for Council consider- ation. l3 H_ Mayor Demsher advised that Mrs. Gard, Mr. Hamilton and he, along with members of the Police Department and Press, met and discussed the technical aspects of the 85th percentile with respect to speed zoning and that, subsequently, the Press has done an excellent job educating the community in this regard. He pointed out that the City cannot use radar as a means of controlling traffic if the speed zones,based on Engineering and Traffic Studies , are not adopted. He said that such studies will have to be repeated every five years. Councilman Fulton questioned if the posted speed limits will apply to motorists who are stopped by a means other than radar. Mr. Hamilton replied that all drivers are subject to the speed zones regardless of the method of apprehension. Mayor Demsher noted that radar will eliminate the police car speed- ing to apprehend a speeding motorist. He feels, however, that Council should continue its efforts in attempting to change legislation as it pertains to the 85th percentile, which concept he does not agree with. At this point in the meeting, at the request of Councilman Fulton, Mr. Duryee of the Traffic Engineer' s office, showed the Vu Graphs depicting the fourteen subject streets and the designated speeds . Councilwoman Gard offered Ordinance No. 1472 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding amending Chapter 11. 12 of the Redding Municipal Code by repealing Section 11. 12 . 010 and substituting therefor a new Section 11. 12 . 010, establishing speed limits on certain streets.

He stated that petitions , representing 67% of the land area, were filed with the City Clerk in September, 1979 , for formation of the Wilsey-Bonnie Sewer Assessment District. It is proposed to construct the sewers in the spring of this year after the ACID puts the water back into the canal. It is requested that the Department of Public Works be authorized to advertise for construction of the sanitary sewer through the area of the ACID Canal at North Bonnyview Drive.

ACQUISITION OF PARK LAND - Girvan Road City Attorney Murphy reviewed his memo to Council dated January 9 , 1980. He advised that the City has been granted $106 , 000 from the Nejedly-Hart State, Urban and Coastal Park Bond Act of 1976 to be used for purchase of park land off Girvan Road, fronting the Sacramento River. After negotiating tentative and approximate purchase and sale terms, staff caused the property to be surveyed �/0 and appraised. Mr. Murphy said that the proposed purchase consists of 15. 87 acres above the maximum release level of the Sacramento River and 8. 45 acres located within the flood plain. The total purchase price is $120, 000, which is consistent with the valuation `7\`J placed upon the property by the City' s independent appraisers. He advised that since the State grant is in the amount of $106 , 000 , N\ it will be necessary to advance the sum of $14 , 000 from general funds �f \ of the City, together with escrow and other miscellaneous closing costs to complete the purchase. While the additional funds have not been budgeted for this purpose, the Finance Director has advised that such funds are available, so that with Council approval, the City can proceed with said acquisition. It is the staff recommendation that Council authorize the acquisition as outlined, and authorize the Mayor to execute the necessary docu- ments. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilwoman Gard approving the aforestated recommendation of the City Attorney with respect to acquisition of park land. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes SUGAR ANTITRUST LITIGATION - Report City Attorney Murphyreviewed his memo to Council dated January9 , 1980. He stated that the Attorney General' s office filed a class action antitrust action against several of the major sugar companies doing business in California, in which the class was composed of the State (including State agencies and institutions) , California school districts, the University of California, counties with a 1975 popu- lation of 20, 000 or more, public hospital districts, and cities within 1/21/80 _ I 43 California. He advised that a proposed settlement figure of $764 , 500 has been arrived at, and a proposed division of the settlement figure has been made. Unfortunately, the proposed settlement provides for no participation by the cities in the settlement proceeds. He said that it is his recollection that the City of Redding was unable to establish any substantial sugar purchases during the time period of the law suit; therefore, recommends that no protest be filed with respect to the proposed settlement. Mr. Murphy advised, however, that this is the first class action in which the City of Redding was a member of the plaintiff class and will receive nothing as a product of the action taken. Council took no action on this information item. COMMITTEE REPORT - Councilwoman Gard Councilwoman Gard advised Council that she had attended a meeting of the League Community Development and Housing Committee on Friday, January 18, 1980, in Los Angeles. The Committee is re-evaluating all of its land-use policies (annexations - residential versus 1 commercial, etc. ) because of the changes in revenue structure. In this regard, it was determined that this Committee should work with members from the Revenue and Taxation Committee to develop information relating to land-use policy decisions. She noted that revenues from commercial development may soon be exceeded by revenues from residential development because of the rapid turnover of the latter and that there is a question of whether commercial annexations can be serviced by cities in the future. She referenced the City of Pleasanton wherein a large shopping center, which they had been working on for 15 years , had finally been completed and it appears that the City will have to turn back some of the revenue produced by sales tax because of the Gann Initiative.
