Living on a limited income causes elderly citizens many problems. However, I heat and cook all my meals--heat my apartment for never more than $25. 00 a month in the ? 1 ` coldest winter months. I believe Redding' s Electrical Department is one of the most positive things about our City. I know you must realize how wonderful it is for retired people to have all the electricity they need at a modest cost and outlay to us all. Keep up the good, good work. Sincerely, /s/ Jim Linday 2007 East Street - Apt. #1 Redding, California 96001 Mayor Demsher said that receipt of this letter is very fitting inasmuch as this will be City Attorney Murphy' s last meeting prior to his retirement, and for many many years Mr. Murphy has worked hard to keep the City' s electrical rates low.

ORDINANCE - Establishment of Speed Limits on Certain Streets MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Fulton that full reading of Ordinance No. 1472 be waived, and that the City Attorney be instructed to scan same. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes 11 '3 City Clerk Brayton advised Council that through an oversight, E .C. Emory was not notified that at its January 21, 1980 meeting, Council would be considering the ordinance pertaining to speed zoning. Sub- sequent to said meeting, copies of the staff recommendation and the 2/4/80 47 proposed ordinance were sent to Mr. Emory because of previous opposition expressed by residents in the Bonnyview area with re- gard to an increase in the speed limit on South Bonnyview Road. Mrs. Brayton read a petition dated February 4 , 1980, from 24 residents on Reno Lane opposing the proposed 45 mph speed limit on South Bonnyview Road between Eastside Road and East Bonnyview Road, and requesting that portions of the blacktop on South Bonny- view Road be widened to provide safe ingress to Reno Lane. Said petition is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference and is on file in the office of the City Clerk. Councilwoman Gard noted that widening of the turning lane to Reno Lane has been considered and questioned what type of priority this project has. Public Works Director Arness replied that Mr. Emory made this request some-time ago and he recalls that it was determined that there was not a simple inexpensive way for providing a left-turn lane as pro- posed. E. C. Emory, 5835 Reno Lane, advised that one of the problems is that motorists tailgate those residents desiring to turn off westbound South Bonnyview Road on to Reno Lane. He pointed out that it is not possible to get off onto the shoulder to make the turn and requests that the shoulder be widened so that the problem of exiting will be eased. Traffic Engineer Hamilton said that it is true that the City corre- sponded with Mr. Emory pertaining to the approach to Reno Lane from the east. He said that to provide a left-turn lane for the approach from the west will require a widening of the roadway to the south for a distance of 1000 ft. Mr. Hamilton said he feels the 15 families on Reno Lane have a valid problem, but noted that the cost benefit ratio is under question as well as the relocation of the bicycle lane. Mrs. Gard questioned what would happen to the bicycle lane. Mr. Hamilton responded that the bicycle lane is legally separate from the roadway now, but if a turning lane is provided, the bicycle lane would be encroached upon. Mrs. Gard asked if any accident patterns have been established in this area. Mr. Hamilton responded that there are no accidents on record for the past two years at the Reno Lane and South Bonnyview Road inter- section. Public Works Director Arness noted that he would like to be a part of the discussion in solving this problem, but will be on vacation for a month. He suggested that the Traffic Engineer, the Associate Civil Engineer and Mr. Emory meet and discuss this issue as well as sewers, and subsequently staff will put some cost estimates together for submission to Council in approximately one month. Mayor Demsher noted that there are proposals for several sub- divisions in this area in the next few years which will have an impact on the traffic also. Planning and Community Development Director Perry said that there are plans for approximately 1100 additional homes in the area. 2/4/80 48 Mrs. Gard noted that with development of the street patterns for the proposed subdivisions, some of the traffic problems may be eased. Mr. Emory said that the suggestion to meet with staff is satisfactory with him. He said he would also like to clarify the last sentence of Item 3 on the petition which states, "No parking signs here. " Mr. Emory said that the petitioners desire that "no parking" signs be placed on the shoulder as Reno Lane is approached from the east. He said that if it isn' t posted, vehicles will park in this area which will make it difficult to turn onto Reno Lane.

He submitted a letter from Gary Stokes of Stokes and Associates requesting that Council consider the use of an assess- ment district using 1915 Act Bonds to construct improvements which would include the extension of Hartnell Avenue from Bechelli Lane to Cypress Avenue, construction of a sewer line and sewer lift station, extension of a water line and some solution to the storm drainage problem. Mr. Arness said it appears this proposed subdivision meets the criteria of Council policy established during previous meetings. He noted that subdivision activity would not start until a tentative map has been prepared for the property. Mr. Arness also pointed 6 . out that staff is still reviewing the City' s ability to provide sanitary sewer service. It is the staff recommendation that Council find that the project, as outlined, is consistent with the City' s Assessment District guide- lines and requests authorization for staff to assist the developer in preparing a petition for submission to Council. Councilwoman Gard questioned consideration and approval of the Assess- ment District without a tentative map. Mr. Arness replied that it is the desire of Mr. Stokes that Council approve his request in concept only. He advised that a tentative map will subsequently be prepared for this property. Planning and Community Development Director Perry noted that the lateral sewer lines will be developed by the subdivider outside of the Assessment District. He stated that this request basically complies with the Assessment District criteria. 2/4/80 .-� .. .-- —• v-.sem.-. r •. +.... ♦ .."�T T Y - .-.... nY �.. —..-♦— w �....vw.Y._.,..,i . r.--.♦4 •.-+s..vr...+.�w---`e +.r—�vw..apY'—+^Va- ♦ .. �-�� 56 Mayor Demsher asked Assistant City Manager Courtney for his opinion in this regard.

ORDINANCE - Building Security City Attorney Murphy submitted a prepared ordinance pertaining to establishing minimum standards of construction for resistance to unlawful entry. Councilwoman Gard asked if there had been any comment from the Fire Department. Planning and Community Development Director Perry responded that said Department did not have any objections to the ordinance as long as it is not in conflict with the Uniform Fire Code. Mr. Perry said that a copy of the ordinance was submitted to the Shasta Builders Exchange and was reviewed by several contractors who felt that the change would be minimal and not significant to the construction trade. Councilman Kirkpatrick said that their response pertained to newly constructed houses where the cost for installation at that point would be nominal. He said he doesn' t believe Council should legislate this type of control, but understands the problem. He requested that the added cost for installation of these devices be presented to Council prior to the second reading of the ordinance. City Attorney Murphy said he would submit this information as requested.
