It is the opinion of staff that the area is a natural extension of the City, with the Sacramento River being a western border.

In response to an inquiry from Councilman Demsher, City Attorney Hays advised that this could be made a condition of annexation; however, when an area is within a jurisdiction, these services tend to be provided eventually. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Fulton approving the recommendation of staff that annexation pro- ceedings be commenced for the area along Keswick Dam Road just west of the present City limits, and instructing the City Attorney to prepare resolutions for the next meeting to commence annexation proceedings and exchange property tax revenues , and that staff be authorized to determine the interest of the BLM land in annexing.

A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry stated that since that meeting, staff has met with Mr. Scholz ' s niece, and the request has been amended to provide an equal road dedication by both the City and Mr. Scholz along the future extension of Knighton Road and a temporary easement until Knighton Road is improved.

Knighton Road as shown on the location map would extend through the Scholz property. Mr. Scholz would like to subdivide his property to create a lot for one additional resi- dence.

He advised that overruns were encountered in I ($ both Phase I and Phase II of this agreement. He reviewed some of these changes as follows : Some redesign work was required in order to take advantage of EDA funds which became available; changes were made by the City in the final well configuration • which amounts to $14 , 000 ; PgandE required changes in design and location of facilities ; increased labor costs due to the extended length of time required to complete changes ; and, the fact that the final project is approximately 50% larger than originally estimated which adds approximately $30 , 000 to their contract. It is therefore requested that authorization be given to amend the engineering contract to reflect that the Phase II portion, • (inspection and administration) , is increased to a sum not to exceed $155, 000 .

He stated that for some time an attempt has been made to arrive at a Member Service Agreement between R NCPA and its members, which would define the service relation- ships between the parties. The on-going negotiations have re- �� suited in the agreement submitted to Council. He noted that Section 2. 08 has the last sentence lined out as it is intended that only the first sentence of that section be included in the Agreement. It is recommended that Council adopt a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute the Member Service Agreement. Mayor Pugh, as a Commissioner on the Board of NCPA, explained that the Agreement sets forth operation standards and criteria. He stated he has not felt uncomfortable with Section 2 . 06 which requires that members signing this Agreement shall not pursue the development of power projects outside their city limits (or service area, in the case of Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative) either alone or with other parties without first offering such projects to NCPA. Council Member Gard commented that the City of Redding may not always be in a position where it wants to share its power pro- jects with NCPA. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Kirkpatrick, Mayor Pugh advised that the advantage to the City to take all projects to NCPA is that NCPA would remain as a viable organization. It was noted that Santa Clara has not agreed to adhere to Sec- tion 2 . 06 and Mayor Pugh felt that their not signing will not create a serious problem, and noted that the agreement can be adopted if 8 out of 12 members sign it. Councilman Kirkpatrick felt that the City could be giving up a considerable amount if it agreed to Section 2 . 06 and noted that Council has had a short time to review the document. He suggested that this go back to the Power Committee and the minutes of said Committee be distributed to Council before a decision is made. 3/16/81 112 Councilman Demsher suggested putting together a document out- lining the history of NCPA, its original purpose, what it has attempted to do, what the interests are on the Commission, those cities which are wholesale purchasers from the Bureau of Reclamation and PGandE, and all the elements which have affected the organization. Councilman Kirkpatrick noted that there may be some small power projects which the City will want to handle by itself . Council discussed the matter at length and it was the concur- rence of Council that it should be referred back to the Power Committee. Councilwoman Gard asked what it costs the City per year to belong to NCPA and what does it get in return. Councilman Kirkpatrick stated he will submit his concerns in writing to the Power Committee. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Council- woman Gard that the NCPA Member Service Agreement be referred back to the Power Committee, with Council Members to submit their concerns to the Power Committee for response , and the minutes of the Committee to be distributed to Council by April 20, 1981.
