It pertains to the City of Redding participating with the Modesto Irrigation District and the City of Santa Clara bidding on lease of geothermal properties that are held by the State of California. The bid must be submitted by Friday, March 14 , 1980. Mayor Demsher declared this an urgency item. Mr. Pugh detailed the proposal, noting that the State has up for bid some geothermal property in Sonoma-Mendocino Counties . The bidder must put up $15, 000 to qualify, and Redding ' s share would be $5 , 000. The successful bidder must post a $50 , 000 bond, and Redding would be responsible for 1/3 of this amount. Mr. Pugh stated that the original leasehold owner of the mineral rights would have the right to match the bid of the successful bidder. Mr. Pugh noted that the Modesto Irrigation District is well known for its power generation and he feels it would be a mistake for the 3/10/80 99 City of Redding not to share in this project. In response to an inquiry as to what the mw potential was , Mr. Pugh said he did not know. Electric Director Simpson concurred that the actual number was not known, but he felt that it would be in the neighborhood of 50mw--three or four times what could be expected of the Lake Redding Project. In a discussion as to how the power could be wheeled, Mr. Simpson stated that, on another project, the City had received word from P.G. & E. to the effect that they would wheel power for the City at a fair and reasonable price. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard approving the participation by the City of Redding in bidding on lease of geothermal property in Sonoma-Mendocino Counties in conjunction with the Modesto Irrigation District and the City of Santa Clara, and authorizing staff to proceed with the necessary communications, submittals , and monies to fund the project.
