PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM - Amendment to Contract
Director of Personnel and Labor Relations Reynolds reviewed his
memo to Council dated February 27 , 1980, stating that during
the general bargaining sessions in the Spring of 1978 with re-
presentatives of the three City employee organizations , agreement
was reached to amend the City' s contract with the Public Employees '
Retirement System by providing for a reduction in the employees ' _30/),
retirement contribution by 3% in 1% increments at the beginning of
each of the first three years of the terms of the Memoranda of
Understanding. The first two 1% increments have already been
enacted and staff is now ready to implement the last 1% transfer of
PERS costs from the employees to the City effective July 6 , 1980.
He stated that the Chief Actuary has determined that the future
costs for implementing this increment are 1. 173% of covered pay-
roll for miscellaneous employees and 1. 414% of covered payroll
for public safety employees. Based upon the most, recent City of
Redding payroll, this represents a cost increase to the City in
the 1980/81 fiscal year of $62 , 077. for miscellaneous employees
and $33 , 975 for public safety employees. In preparing the actuarial
evaluation the PERS Chief Actuary predicated his report upon the
payments being made until the year 2 , 000. The cost may change,
however, as changes in the actuarial data occur in the future .

0 /0 ment District" will be on the next Council agenda. He stated

PROPERTY ACQUISITION - Court and Placer Streets
Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memo to Council dated
February 26, 1980 . He stated that it is essential that traffic
signal conduits be replaced at Court and Placer Streets. Over
�.� two years ago, a conduit failure necessitated "temporary" over-
head wiring and another conduit is giving trouble. In designing
for replacement conduit, he said, staff is proposing to enlarge the
curb radii from the existing 10 feet to 40 feet. This will facil-
itate truck turns , (a signal standard and the traffic controller
have been hit) , and would permit future left turn lane installations.
To properly locate the conduit and pull boxes to serve both present
and future needs, it is necessary to acquire 30 foot property line
corner roundings on both the southeast and southwest corners . The
northeast corner rounding was accomplished when the Title Insurance
and Trust Company building was constructed, and the northwest corner
rounding is expected to be accomplished with construction associated
with the jail. Mr. Arness stated it is the recommendation of the
Public Works Department that Council authorize the acquisition of
3/3/80
87
the 30 foot corner roundings on the southeast and southwest
corners which have been appraised at $2 , 125 each. Funds for
these acquisitions are available in the budget.
In response to an inquiry from Councilwoman Gard regarding the re-
moval of trees to accomplish these corner roundings, Mr. Arness
advised that Council will be kept informed in advance of any
plans on this project.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick
to approve the acquisition of the 30 foot corner roundings on the
southeast and southwest corners of Court and Placer Streets, which
have been appraised at $2 , 125 each. The Vote : Unanimous Ayes
SEWER MONITORING STATIONS
Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memo to Council dated
February 26, 1980, stating that on December 12 , 1979 , the City
requested the State Water Quality Control Board' s approval
of a grant program to fund the installation of the / , C'
monitoring stations recommended by the PACE Engineering
report. Again on January 28, 1980, staff requested informa-
tion regarding the State's. ability to aid the City in this pro-
gram. On February 22 , Howard Whitver stated that they were unable
to provide assistance in the funding of the monitoring program.
Mr. Arness requests that the staff be authorized to call for bids
for equipment and construction of monitoring stations as -recommended
in the PACE Engineering report. The estimated cost of performing
this work is in the $50, 000 - $70, 000 range. It is the recom-
mendation of staff that the funds for this project be taken from
residual funds of the wastewater treatment plant and interceptor
projects.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman
Pugh authorizing staff to call for bids for equipment and construc-
tion of monitoring stations at an estimated cost of $50 ,000 to
$70 , 000 . The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

Hearing
Planning Commission Recommendation dated 2/14/80
Planning Commission Recommendation dated 3/3/80
The City Clerk advised Council that no written protests
had been received.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry
reviewed his memo to Council dated March 3 , 1980 .
He stated that at its regular meeting of January 8 ,
1980, the Planning Commission approved two subdivisions
located generally north of Rancho Road, west of Good-
water Avenue and east of Alta Mesa Drive. Maps de-
picting the location of the two subdivisions, and the
approved tentative maps were shown on the Vu Graph.
Subsequent to the Commission' s approval, Mr. Perry
said, the Pacheco Union School District appealed the
Commission' s decision. The reasons cited for the appeal
are: (1) high student-to-classroom ratio and (2) need
for additional classrooms to serve the expected students.
3/3/80
90
In its appeal, the School District has requested that a
ten-acre school site be provided to serve the northern end
of the School District and that development fees be collected
for each lot toward the construction of a new school.
The essence of the appeal is that there will be a sub-
stantial, unmitigated environmental impact on the District.
In order to mitigate the impacts of the two subdivisions
upon the school, the subdividers and the School District
have agreed upon the following three conditions to be
added to the tentative maps :
1 . Prior to the recording of any lot on the east side
of Shasta View Drive as depicted on the tentative
map, the developers are to acquire and dedicate
a ten-acre elementary-school site to the Pacheco
Union School District in the vicinity of Shasta View
Drive, pursuant to the provisions of the Subdivi-
sion Map Act. The specific site location is to be
approved by the City of Redding. The cost of the site
to the District shall be for the value of the land
only, not exceeding $8 , 000 per acre.
2 . The developers are to pay to the Pacheco Union School
District a school-site-acquisition fee of $200 per
lot at the time of the recording of a final map for
any portions of the subdivisions. Said money and any
interest thereon is to be held in trust by the school
district solely for the purpose of acquiring a new
elementary-school site in the vicinity of Shasta
View Drive and Rancho Road.
3. In the event that a school-construction fee is es-
tablished on a district-wide basis for the purpose
of constructing a school facility in the District,
the developers agree that all lots in the subdivisions
would be subject to such school-construction fees.
Mr. Perry stated that both the School District and the
developer have also requested that the draft Enterprise
Plan be amended to reflect a K - 6 school site in this
area. Safe pedestrian access to the school shall be re-
viewed when a precise location is determined.
Based on the potential for development in the area, the
lack of classroom space in the School District and the
fact that the District will have a substantial portion of
its development in the vicinity of Rancho Road, Mr.
Perry states it is the recommendation of staff that the
appeals be upheld and that Tentative Maps S-21-79 , Rancho
Saratoga, and S-24-79 , Highland Oak Estates , be amended
as outlined . above.
Bernard G. Bryson, President, Pacheco Board of Trustees ,
spoke at this time and stated the District concurs with
the staff and commended the developers and the City Planning
staff in formulating this recommendation. He stated
that the district will be approaching Council in the future
with respect to overcrowding of schools , noting that pri-
mary development at this time lies within the City, although
only a small portion of the total District is within the
City.

The City Clerk advised Council that there were no written ,

Planning and Community Development Director Perry
reviewed his memo to Council dated February 26 , 1980 .
He stated that the proposed abandonment was continued from
the Council meeting of February 19, 1980 , when the Traffic
Engineer was asked to assess whether the abandonment would
hinder the development of a right-turn lane onto Reno Lane.

states that the 200 feet remaining between the proposed
abandonment and Reno Lane is sufficient for a turn lane.
Mr. Perry stated it remains the opinion of both the
Commission and the staff that the subject area is not
needed for public street purposes. If abandoned, the
right of way would revert to the adjoining two property
owners. Commission and staff recommends that the
excess right of way in front of 2730 and 2774 South Bonny-
view Road be abandoned subject to retention of easements
for storm drainage and for utility purposes , and that the
Resolution abandoning said right of way and ratifying the
negative declaration be adopted.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by
Councilman Pugh that the Public Hearing be closed.
The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

•
He noted that Mr. Emory', who is an interested property owner,
was unable to remain for discussion on the above-mentioned
public hearing. Mr. Hamilton stated that Mr. Emery did
seem satisfied with the explanation that was given regarding
the cost/benefit to install a left turn lane to Reno Drive .
He stated he felt the City could do this for $12 , 000 , al-
though it would have fairly low priority in the budget ,
based on the fact that no accidents had been reported at
the intersection this year and because of the low traffic
ratio.
Councilman Pugh stated it should be included in the budget
package to be reviewed with other public works projects .

Planning Commission Recommendation dated 2/27/80
The City Clerk advised Council that there were no
written protests.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry
reviewed his memo to Council dated February 27 , 1980.
He stated that at its regular meetings of January 22 and
February 13, 1980 , the Planning Commission unanimously
approved Tentative Subdivision Map S-13-78 , subject to
29 conditions, granting Nash Construction permission to
divide 88 acres into 110 lots on property located gen-
erally west of Alta Mesa Drive; north of Churn Creek
Road and Churn Creek Meadows , Units 1 , 2 , and 3 ; and
east of Churn Creek. Maps depicting the location of
the property and the approved tentative map were shown
on the Vu Graph, and Council was provided a list of the
conditions for approval.

Subsequent to the Commission' s action, the developer filed
a letter appealing three of the conditions of approval
pertaining to improvements on Victor Avenue. The con-
ditions in question require dedication of right of way
for Victor Avenue within the subdivision, improvement of
Victor Avenue with two driving lanes within the subdivi-
sion and between Churn Creek Road and the subdivision,
with the developer to be responsible for the engineering
of the street. Construction of a bike lane, construction
of a fence, and waiver of access from adjoining lots are
also required along Victor within the subdivision .
Mr. Perry continued that in his appeal , the developer
has requested that he be responsible only for the portion
of Victor between Churn Creek Road and its intersection
with El Verano Street and that the City be responsible
for the remaining 1400 feet north of El Verano. The
developer also asked that he not be required to do any
off-site fencing or tree planting and that the City pro-
vide the necessary engineering for the intersection of
Victor Avenue with Churn Creek Road. The dedication
and improvements required for Victor Avenue are the same
as those required for subdivisions along Shasta View Drive,
further to the east.
Mr. Perry stated that initially, the first unit of the
subdivision will use Huntington Drive for access; however,
when Unit 2 is recorded, the temporary road will be re-
moved and all access for the development will be from Victor.
Fencing and waiver of direct access from adjoining lots are
standard conditions of other subdivisions along major
thoroughfares. In the past, the general policy of the City
has been to require developers to provide two driving
lanes through their subdivisions and to require that streets
and utilities be extended to the outer property lines of
the subdivision. In addition, since Huntington Drive is a
sub-standard street by City standards and Alta Mesa is
the only other point of access, it is the opinion of staff
that the developer is responsible for providing a primary
access point to his development.
Off-site tree planting and fencing were not required by
the Commission as a condition of the subdivision, thus
staff feels that is a nonissue. With respect to the
request for the engineering design data for the inter-
section of Victor and Churn Creek Road, it is the opinion
of the staff that that would be the responsibility of •
the developer. The staff fully recognizes it will have
to assist in the design and the coordination with the County
of Shasta. However, it is the feeling of staff that the
developer can better coordinate the work with his sub-
division. As part of the improvement of Victor, the
Commission has recommended, subject to the concurrence of
the City Council, that the City be responsible for the
acquisition of the intervening property between Churn Creek
Road and the subdivision proper.
It is the recommendation of staff that the Council deny
the above-described appeal and uphold the subdivision as
approved by the Planning Commission.

Bob Hobbs , engineer for the developer, stated they do not
have a great deal to add to the requests stated in their letter
of appeal. He stated they recognize they are going to have
to take on more responsibility than was originally planned;
however, it is felt the engineering of the intersection of
Victor Avenue and Churn Creek Road is beyond the scope of
what they would normally be asked to do. In his opinion,
the configuration of the intersection, is going to involve
long-range plans only the City can provide. He stated they
are agreeable to doing the mechanics of the plans., provided
they are given the information. Mr. Hobbs stated the City
has agreed to assist in the design of the intersection but
he is not sure specifically what they will do.
Mayor Demsher questioned staff as to their impressions of
what is. to be done by both parties .
After considerable discussion, Planning and Community Devel-
' opment Director Perry summarized the areas of responsibility
as follows :
1. The developer provides field data,
2 . The City gives design parameters ,
3 . The developer provides final design.
Jerry Nash, developer of the land, spoke at this time. He
questioned who would benefit from the extension of Victor
Avenue north of El Verano Street. He said the major portion
of the traffic is through traffic and would not be a direct
benefit to the subdivision. He suggested the possibility of
forming an assessment district to finance Victor Avenue from
Churn Creek Road to Hartnell Avenue.
Mr. Nash asked Council about the possibility of approval of
S-13-78 , subject to further study on Victor Avenue so that
improvement plans for the first unit can get underway, noting
Victor Avenue is not involved in this portion of the develop-
ment.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Pugh that the public hearing be closed. The Vote : Unan-
imous Ayes
In response to an inquiry from Mrs . Gard, Mr. Arness addressed
the issue of forming an assessment district. Mr. Arness
stated there would be the problem of the defining of district
boundaries.
Mrs . Gard stated that one of the most important points about
the conditions imposed is that they are consistent. The re-
quirements for thissubdivision are what we have always re-
quired.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Pugh that Condition #19 of the Conditions for Approval for
Tentative Subdivision Map S-13-78 , be amended to include the
following:
For the intersection of Churn Creek Road and Victor
Avenue, the developer shall provide the field data
and prepare the final design plans . The City shall
set the design parameters for the intersection upon
receipt of the field data.

and the existing density in the area is 3. 38 dwelling
units per acre. Of the 45 structures in the area, 43
are single-family residences and two are duplexes . There

already restricted to single-family use.
Mr. Perry stated it is the recommendation of both the
