WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
Communication from T. A. Pettigrew - re City of Redding
Annexations
A letter was received from Mr. T. A. Pettigrew expressing
concern regarding the number of annexations occurring in
the City. He stated that present residents will be faced
with having to pay for higher priced power as a result of
annexations and mentioned several other concerns such as
substandard streets , increased demand on services, etc.
5/4/81
148
Mayor Pugh recommended that the communication be referred
to staff and that the Planning Department review its
planning basis with regard to urban boundaries.
Councilman Demsher noted that each Council Member has had
people come to them, raising some of these same issues.
He advised that the City has not aggressively pursued
annexations except where island existed or in a few other
exceptional cases. He stated that there have been con-
cerns, especially with regard to energy and the decreasing
favorable position of the City' s ability to obtain low-
cost energy. Mr. Demsher feels there is not much the City
can do to decrease the number of annexation request, and
that the position of Council has been one of broad public
interest and the interests of the community as a whole.
Councilwoman Gard said this letter expresses many of the
concerns Council has been expressing over the last several
IL0 years. She noted that the City' s Growth Management
Committee should continue its joint planning effort with
the County.
In response to an inquiry from Mrs. Gard regarding the
laws pertaining to annexations, City Attorney Hays advised
that once LAFCO approves an annexation, the City must
proceed with it.
With the concurrence of Council , the matter was referred
to staff for review.
Communication from Jim Carter - re Shasta County Sheriff' s
Posse Rodeo May 15 and 16
A letter was received from Jim Carter, of the Shasta
County Sheriff' s Posse requesting Council reconsideration
of the conditioned approval given for the sale of alco-
holic beverages at the Rodeo within the clubhouse only.
The Posse proposes to set up two booths inside the fence
4311 of the rodeo grounds and assures that the operation will
be handled in an orderly manner, as it was last year. It
was noted that plastic cups will be used to prevent the
hazard of broken glass.
Council discussed the matter and concurred that they were
not aware of the sale of alcoholic beverages outside the
clubhouse last year.
Captain Lon McCasland of the Sheriff' s Posse , addressed
Council and stated that they presented their proposal last
year to both Council and the ABC with the intension of
selling alcoholic beverages within the Posse Grounds. He
apologized for the confusion and stated that in 1980 ,
their first year to sell these beverages , they had no
problems whatsoever. He stated that the revenue gener-
ated from these sales helps to keep the Rodeo alive in
Redding. He stated that the Redding Rodeo is the second
largest in the nation and it is very expensive to keep the
operation going.
Councilman Kirkpatrick stated that he was under the
impression that it was the Posse' s request that these
beverages be allowed in the Clubhouse and has no objection
to the request.
5/4/81
149
Mayor Pugh said it was his assumption that the sale would
be confined to the Clubhouse but was not aware that
alcoholic beverages were allowed on the Grounds last year.
Council Member Gard said to her knowledge, the City has
never granted a permit for the sale of hard liquor outside
an enclosed building, on City property. Mayor Pugh stated
that the Posse leases this property from the City and
therefore the City is the landlord in this situation.
Mr. Brickwood was asked if any problems were reported to
his office as a result of the sale last year and he
advised that he is not aware of any problems.
Councilwoman Gard was advised by the City Attorney that
her husband being a member of the Posse does not create a
conflict of interest for her and she need not abstain from
voting.
Councilman Demsher was also advised by the City Attorney
that he need not abstain due to the fact that Mr.
McCasland is a teacher at the high school where Mr.
Demsher is principal.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman
Kirkpatrick approving the request of the Shasta County
Sheriff' s Posse to sell alcoholic beverages , including
scotch, bourbon and vodka, within the Posse Grounds at the
Rodeo May 16 and 17 , 1981.

Assessment District No. 1981-3:
Petitions
Certificate re Petition
Resolution Accepting Petitions
...641(11 Boundary Map
Resolution Approving Boundary Map
Resolution Approving Agreement for Legal Services
Resolution Requesting Jurisdiction
In response to an inquiry from Mayor Pugh, Planning and Com-
munity Development Director Perry advised that the island
within the Assessment District which is not included, is Argyle
Estates. John Sharrah noted that the Racquet Club has asked
not to be included in the Assessment District.
Mayor Pugh and Councilwoman Gard questioned how sewer sizes are
determined. They were advised that sewers are sized according
to the ultimate development potential for a geographic area,
based on household equivalents determined by the General Plan
classification.
• In the case of Planned Developments , where bonus units are
allowed, the question was raised as to how developers can be
required to pay the cost for oversizing of sewers as part of
the development fees.
Mr. Perry advised that later on the agenda, Council will be
considering legislation which will enable Council to adopt a
users fee to recover some of these costs.
Special Bond Counsel Sperry stated that the collection of fees
is a problem which is intensified in a "General Law" city. He
noted a charter city does not have this problem.
In response to an inquiry from Mrs . Gard, Mr. Perry advised
that a given geographic area will be developed to about 80% of
its maximum General Plan density.
Councilman Kirkpatrick expressed concern that if the City plans
for development of Planned Developments, it may be encouraging
P.D. developments rather than development according to the
General Plan.
Mr. Perry noted that Council , in the future, may consider
reducing the number of bonus units and restricting the number
of household equivalents.

that the planning Commission has unanimously recommended
approval of PD-15-80 proposing to develop 7. 72 acres
located at 1410 Arizona Street with 38 dwelling units. A
map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph and a draft
negative declaration was submitted to Council .
Mr. Perry described the project and advised that the
developer will be required to extend Arizona Street from

also construct improvements to Paulson Lane and Cynthia
Way. He noted that the property is classified on the
proposed Enterprise Plan as Residential, 3. 5 units per
acre; under the Planned Development District, the devel-
oper may request up to 5 units per acre.

staff that PD-15-80 be approved subject to the 30 condi-
tions of approval listed in the draft ordinance.

Judy Hollahan, 4460 Cynthia Way, questioned the improve-
ments required on Cynthia Way since this is a privately
owned road.
She also questioned the increase in traffic and sewage,
and was opposed to the density of the project. She stated
that residents in the area do not want to give up their
rural atmosphere. She asked if any traffic studies had
been conducted.
Mr. Perry advised that it is estimated the project will
produce approximately 380 trips per day and access will be
via Arizona Street exiting to the east end of the pro-
perty.
Mrs. Hollahan asked if she would be required to hook-up to
the sewer and water systems for the project and she was
advised that there is no such requirement by the City
unless there is a health problem.
Vi Klaseen, 595 Mary Street, recommended that in transi-
tion areas such as this , that blacktopping not be allowed
to extend completely along the adjoining property lines.
She stated that this creates a drainage problem for the
neighboring property and is unpleasant to view.
Mr. Perry advised that in this particular project the
parking area will be separated from the adjoining property
by a planter which will be landscaped. He further noted
that the Planning Commission is now considering a revision
to the "C.O. Office District" requirements which addresses
this issue. •

Planning Commission Recommendation dated 4/30/81
The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been
'. received.
r Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
his memorandum to Council dated April 30, 1981. He stated
that the Planning Commission has unanimously recommended
approval of PD-2-81, a proposal to construct a 24 ,684
square foot office condominium on property located at 2350
Rosaline Avenue. A map of the are was shown on the Vu
Graph and the draft negative declaration was submitted to
Council.
Mr. Perry advised that the proposed medical office build-
ings are located on 1. 93 acres. The City Code requires
that a commercial planned development have a minimum
parcel size of two acres; however, the Planning Commission
determined that this application would be considered and
recommended reduction of the rear yard setback require-
ment.
Mr. Perry explained that the property slopes down from
5/4/81
155
Rosaline Avenue to a small stream bed just north of the
north property line. Substantial cut and fill will be
required on the site, and the buildings are all elevated
on piers on the north side in order to work with the steep
slope of the site. Access to the site will be by one
thirty foot wide driveway off Rosaline Avenue at the
western edge of the property. He noted that land use
across the ravine to the north consists of single-family
residences.
It is the recommendation of both the Commission and staff
that PD-2-81 be approved subject to the conditions listed
in the draft ordinance. It is further recommended that
the negative declaration be ratified, and that Council
make certain findings in accordance with Government Code
Section 66474 . Lastly, it is recommended that the parcel
size and rear yard setbacks be waived and that an ordi-
nance be offered for first reading.
Vernon Peterson, 2383 Sonoma, asked Mr. Perry to explain
the rear yard setback. Mr. Perry stated that the setback
would be ten feet from the edge of the creek. Mr. Peterson
stated that he has 150 feet of greenbelt and all these
developers would be giving is ten feet. He further stated
that trees are being cut down at the present time and
asked who would be responsible for cleaning out the brush.
Mr. Perry advised that this would be the responsibility of
the developers.
Mr. Perry explained that the Commission and staff felt
that more would be gained by keeping the building lower
down the hill in an effort to protect the privacy of the
adjoining property owners.
Mrs. Peterson, 2383 Sonoma, asked about requirements for a
retaining wall and noted that there is a very steep slope
and ravine between their property and the proposed
development.
Mr. Perry advised that there will be a retaining wall of
up to ten feet in some areas where fill is being used. He
noted that the section between the Peterson property and •
•
the proposed development will have no retaining wall but
will remain as a natural slope. •
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by
Councilman Fulton that the public hearing be closed. The
Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Councilwoman Gard stated she was strongly opposed the
rezoning to Office District and stated this is the kind of
development the City should not encourage. She feels this
is an infringement on the policy of leaving the canyon
areas as open space.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by
Councilman Fulton that Council makes the following find-
ings with regard to Rezoning Application PD-2-81 :
1. Project is compatible with the Redding General Plan

Vote : Unanimous Ayes
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick that the rear yard
setbacks be waived and findings be made in accordance with
Section 66474 of the Government Code of the State of Cali-
fornia. This motion died for lack of a second.
Councilwoman Gard asked what could happen to the property
without the PD zoning. Mr. Perry advised that a building
of up to 40 feet in height could be constructed on a
parcel size of 10 ,000 square feet and would probably have
as much or more impact on the surrounding property owners
as this project has. He noted that the cut and fill is
basically to provide for the off-street parking under the
building. He further noted that another project under the
current zoning could have its off-street parking on top of
the building. Mr. Perry explained that staff has also had
some problems with the PD zoning but feels that they have
worked with the developer to get the best possible project
for the neighbors to the north.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by
Councilman Fulton that in accordance with Section 66474 of
the Government Code of the State of California, Council
finds and declares that none of the conditions as listed

REQUEST FROM CATHOLIC CHURCH TO PURCHASE PROPERTY - Benton
Airpark
City Manager Brickwood reported that John Roach, representing
the Catholic Church, has discussed with him the possibility of
the City selling land east of Benton Airpark to the Church.
Said property was outlined on the map which is hereby made a o2DC0
part of these minutes by reference. Mr. Brickwood advised that III
in discussing this with the Airports Manager and staff, as well
as the Airports Commission Chairman, it is felt that the City
should not dispose of this land as it was originally intended
to act as a buffer between the Airpark and the residential area
to the east. The Church wished to pursue the matter further
and for this reason, a determination is being requested from
Council as to whether or not it wishes to dispose of this
property.
In response to an inquiry from Mrs. Gard, Mr. Perry advised
that the zoning on the property is R-l. It was noted that if
the City sold this property, it would have to be offered to the
highest bidder and could mean that a subdivision could be
constructed on the edge of the airport.
Mrs. Gard noted that the City has been consistently acquiring
property around the airport to protect its longevity and felt
it would not be appropriate to sell any of this property near
the Benton Airpark for any reason.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Demsher that the property east of Benton Airpark as hereinabove
stated, not be sold as surplus property. The Vote : Unanimous
Ayes
CARTER HOUSE MUSEUM - Contract Service
Assistant City Manager Courtney reviewed a memorandum to
Council dated April 30 , 1981, from himself and the Director of
Planning and Community Development. He stated that since May
1, 1980 , the City has contracted with the Shasta Natural
Science Association for the operation of the Carter House
• Science Museum. The contract rate for the first year of
operation on this basis was $17 ,500. He noted that four
members of the Carter House staff are CETA employees and have
either been terminated or scheduled to be terminated due to
federal funding reductions.
LID
Mr. Courtney stated that the Museum Coordinator has requested a
$30, 000 budget, but due to the need to curtail 1981-82 expendi-
tures, staff is recommending funding in the amount of $24 , 000
for the period beginning May 1 , 1981, and ending April 30 ,
1982 .
It is felt that the Carter House Science Museum offers an array
of programs for the Community which are needed and are
appropriate for the City to support. However, staff feels that
a continuing effort should be maintained to develop funding
5/4/81
160
sources that will reduce the dependence of this activity on the
City' s General Fund.
It is the recommendation of staff that an agreement be approved •
with the Shasta Natural Science Association - Carter House
Science Museum, for funding in the amount of $24 ,000 for the
period May 1, 1981 through April 30 , 1982 , and that the Mayor
be authorized to execute said document on behalf of the City.
Mrs. Gard asked if this is a survival budget and Mr. Courtney
advised that it will mean some reduction in the operation of
the Museum.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Demsher approving an Agreement with the Shasta Natural Science
Association-Carter House Science Museum, as hereinabove stated.
The Vote : Unanimous Ayes
REQUEST FROM CATHOLIC CHURCH TO PURCHASE PROPERTY
Councilman Fulton referred to this previously considered
request and inquired as to the possibility of an exchange of
property with the Catholic Church. Mr. Brickwood advised that
this issue has been discussed and the property the Church
wishes to exchange is of no value to the City.
Councilman Fulton felt that the school , which is located next
to the subject property, has been in this location for many
02Ib1 years and has caused no problems.
I
Mayor Pugh stated that the subject property is zoned R-1 and if
it were sold, it would have to go out to bid and could possibly
be developed as an R-1 subdivision.
Council Members Kirkpatrick and Demsher concurred that the
original reason for acquiring the property was to provide a
buffer zone, and selling the property would be inviting the
kinds of problems the City is trying to avoid.
Mr. Brickwood explained that the Church owns property to the
north of the school, between the school and Placer Street and
suggested they develop this property for their facility.

s
161
Ranches area. The petition also provided that once the asses-
sment district was formed, Council would commence annexation
proceedings. At this time, sufficient petitions have been
returned to form the district. A map of the area was shown on
the Vu Graph and Council was supplied charts showing percent-
ages by area, lots and registered voters.
It is the recommendation of staff that Council refer the matter
to the Public Works Department for formation of an assessment
district. This will also require the consent of the Board of
Supervisors for the initial formation of the district.
Councilwoman Gard referred to previous discussions regarding a
"Ranchette" type zoning for areas such as this and hoped that
this type of zoning category could be on the books before this
annexation is commenced.
Mayor Pugh concurred that Council would like to see a recom-
mendation from the Planning Department regarding a "Ranchette"-
type zoning as soon as possible.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman
Fulton that petitions from Western Ranches area, be referred
to the Public Works Director for the formation of a water

the Cities of Anderson, Redding, and Shasta County, requesting
authorization to jointly conduct an urban boundary study. Said
resolution is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference.

benefits to be gained from such a study including:
1. General Plan integration
2 . Integration of development standards for urban development
3. Identification of areas likely to be annexed within the
next twenty years
It is the recommendation of staff that Council authorize the
Redding Planning Commission to undertake a joint study with the
other two commissions.

Gard authorizing the Redding Planning Commission to undertake a
joint study with the Planning Commissions of the City of
Anderson and the County of Shasta. The Vote : Unanimous Ayes

Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his
memorandum to Council dated April 30 , 1981 . He submitted to
Council, a contract to prepare a Recreation Element for the
111 Redding General Plan. Funding for the element was included in
the 1980-81 budget. Mr. Perry explained that the intent of j'1
this element is to set standards for park and open-space
dedication, develop schematic plans for four parks, establish
park and recreation goals and policies, and to prevent acquisi-
tion of nonessential park land. A questionnaire is also
included in the proposal which would be circulated through
utility billings.

Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his
memorandum to Council dated April 30 , 1981. He submitted a
letter from a property owner located on Henderson Road request-
ing annexation to the City. A map of the area was shown on the
X45 /A Vu Graph.
Mr. Perry advised that the property is located in an island
area south of Cypress Avenue and east of the Sacramento River.
He stated that based on property values, property to the west
and the office area of Redding Transit Mix to the east can be
included in the annexation. He explained that there is not
sufficient land value to also annex the hopper area of the
cement plant. Staff has contacted Redding Transit Mix on
several occasions about annexing to the City, but to date a
request has not been filed.
It is the recommendation of staff that annexation proceedings
be commenced, that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare
resolutions to commence proceedings and exchange property tax
revenues, for the next regular Council meeting.
Mayor Pugh asked about including the Redding Transit Mix Office
parcel and not including the Redding Transit Mix Plant in the
annexation, if they are one parcel.
City Attorney Hays advised that a parcel cannot be split by
annexation boundaries which cannot otherwise be split; however,
it is not known that the R.T.M. Plant and Office locations are
one parcel. If it is one parcel, it may not be annexed.
Mr. Perry advised that staff will research the matter at the
Assessor' s Office.
Councilwoman Gard stated she is opposed to including people in
annexations when they do not wish to be included.

Fulton approving the recommendation of staff that annexation
proceedings be commenced and instructing the City Attorney to

ANNEXATION REQUEST NO. 80-13 - Argyle Estates
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his
memorandum to Council dated April 30 , 1981. He stated that on
October 6 , 1980 , Council referred the petition from 63 property
owners in the Argyle Estates area to the Growth Committee for
report. Council also referred the petition to the Public Works
Department for evaluation of the existing water system in the
area. In terms of water use, the area can be divided into two
areas : Argyle Estates and Forest Hills Subdivision. Mr. Perry
advised that the Argyle Estates area is on individual wells and
the Forest Hills area has a two-well mutual water company.
Mr. Perry explained that, based on the evaluation by the Public
Works Department, the existing mutual water system does not
meet City Standards . He noted that the existing lines are
_203 ,c substandard in diameter and inadequate to meet ISO fire-flow
• requirements . In order to prevent any adverse impact on the
C City' s existing fire rating, it is the recommendation of the
Growth Committee that Council condition the annexation to
require formation of a water-assessment district for the
improvements outlined in the report from the Superintendent,
Public Works Field Operations , dated November 12 , 1980 , which
is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference, and that
the mutual water company be transferred to City ownership after
being brought up to City of Redding standards. It is also
recommended for those properties being served by a mutual water
system that the water-connection fee be waived.
Mr. Perry reviewed the cost of improvements per lot and advised
that lots in the Argyle Estates area would pay an additional
connection and meter fee if they chose to connect to the
domestic water supply. In Forest Hills , there would be an
additional meter charge.
If Council concurs , it is recommended that staff be authorized
to mail an information letter and a petition to each of the
residents in the area; if sufficient petitions are returned for
formation of an assessment district, the matter would then be
returned to Council for formation of an assessment district and
commencement of annexation proceedings.
Councilwoman Gard inquired as to the possibility of the City
wanting to purchase the wells. Public Works Director Arness
stated this may be a possibility and if so, there would be an
exchange of value for the connection fee.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Demsher approving the recommendation of the Growth Committee
and staff as hereinabove stated and authorizing staff to mail
an information letter and petition to each of the residents in
the area for the possibility of the formation of an assessment
district. The Vote : Unanimous Ayes
ANNEXATION REQUEST NO. 80-5 - Westwood Manor
Mayor Pugh abstained from voting and discussion on this matter.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his
memorandum to Council dated May 1, 1981. He stated that on
August 21 , 1980 , Council referred a 408 signature petition from
/0residents of Westwood Manor to the Growth Committee for report
13 and recommendation. Since that time , the Growth Committee has
been discussing property tax allocations with the County,
reviewing the adequacy of the existing water system, and
obtaining cost estimates for the purchase of the Pinal Water
Co. , Inc.
5/4/81
165
Mr. Perry advised that one of the main concerns of the Growth
Committee is that if the Pinal Water Company became neglected,
residents of the area would turn to the City for help. There-
fore, it is the opinion of the Growth Committee that an assess-
ment district should be formed for the customers of the water
system to finance its acquisition and transfer to the City.
It is the recommendation of the Growth Committee that the
customers of the Pinal Water Company be asked to finance
$200 , 000 through an assessment district for acquisition of the
system. For the approximate 396 customers, this would amount
to about $506 per residence. The cost for improvements in the
new shopping center or the equivalent water use is not known at
this time.
It is further recommended that staff be authorized to send an
information letter and petition to form an assessment district
to each property owner in the subdivision. He noted that in
the meantime, perhaps the property tax exchange issue will be •
•
resolved.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman
Demsher approving the recommendation of the Growth Committee
and staff as hereinabove stated and authorizing staff to send

CHURN CREEK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION - Request from Jerry Nash for
Construction Cost Credits
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his
memorandum to Council dated May 1, 1981. He stated that the
Growth Committee reviewed the request by Jerry Nash for a
credit against the Capital Improvement Element for his off-site
work in conjunction with the development of the 110 lot sub-
division, Churn Creek Meadows. A map of the area was shown on
the Vu Graph and Mr. Nash' s letter and cost estimates was
submitted to Council.
Mr. Perry advised that in approving the 110 lots, the Planning
Commission required that with Unit 5 , the developer extend
Victor Avenue to Churn Creek Road to provide access other than
by Alta Mesa or Huntington Drives. Mr. Nash was required to
grade four lanes and pave the equivalent of two driving lanes I08
and a bike lane between the south edge of the subdivision and Iuf
Churn Creek Road. The City' s share in this phase of the
project is the acquisition of right-of-way across an inter-
vening parcel and the paving of the third and fourth driving
lanes. The County is participating in one-half of the cost of
the Victor-Churn Creek Road intersection. Mr. Perry stated
that in the future, the City will eventually be responsible for
signals where Victor intersects both Churn Creek Road and
Hartnell Avenue.
A cost estimate was submitted to Council for the construction
of Victor between Hartnell Avenue and Churn Creek Road, for a
total of approximately $2, 340 ,600 , not including right-of-way,
traffic signals , or improvements north of Hartnell. This is
5/4/81
166
equivalent to about $1, 360 per dwelling unit not including the
other factors . The City will be paying over $1,110 , 803 for the
project by picking up the share of existing residents , the cost
of the road across the Enterprise Treatment Plant, and partici-
pation in the bridge across Churn Creek.
After evaluating the costs , the need for the subdivision to
have access via Victor Avenue , the fact that the City is
already picking up the value of the existing lots in Units 1,
2 , and 3 , and buying right-of-way, it is the recommendation of
the Growth Committee that the request be denied.
Councilwoman Gard said the costs to the developer do not seem
disproportionate for off-site improvements and are not incon-
sistent with other developments.
Mr. Jerry Nash, developer of Churn Creek Meadows Subdivision,
addressed Council and stated that the County did not require
them to dedicate right-of-way; they bought the land. He stated
that there are certain requirements that are not shown on the
City' s cost estimates. Mr. Nash cited other subdivisions which
have been given tax credits for off-site construction costs ,
and felt that the City is not being consistent in its require-
ments.
Mr. Perry stated that other subdivisions have not been given
tax credits for capital improvements and that all residential
subdivisions have the same standard requirements such as
fencing, lighting, etc.
Mayor Pugh remarked that as long as there is no distinction
between Mr. Nash' s subdivision and others in the area, he is in
agreement with the recommendation that the request be denied.
Mr. Nash noted that he has several cross-sections of Victor
Avenue but has not been able to finalize the design. This
matter was referred to the Director of Public Works.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman
Kirkpatrick approving the recommendation of the Growth Com-
mittee with regard to capital improvement credits for Churn
Creek Meadows Subdivision, that the request be denied. The
Vote : Unanimous Ayes
REQUEST TO SELL BEER - Alta Mesa Park
Director of Parks and Recreation Riley reviewed his memorandum
to Council dated April 30 , 1981. He stated that the Parks and
Recreation Commission met on April 29 , 1981 , to hear a request
for permission to sell beer at the 1st annual Budweiser Slow
Pitch Softball Tournament which is to be held on June 6 and 7
at the Alta Mesa Park. The Commission recommended approval of
this request subject to three conditions.
Mr. Riley noted that his department has received phone calls
and two written protests regarding the public address system
and excessive drinking being conducted at the park. These
conversations indicated that a committee is being formed to
bring a formal protest to the attention of Council.
Councilman Kirkpatrick stated he has received one note to the
Council on this matter.
5/4/81
167
Councilwoman Gard felt that this was an inappropriate location
for this type of park and that the use of the ballfield at
night compounds the problems of excessive drinking.
Councilman Demsher concurred that this park does not lend
itself to this type of activity.
In response to an inquiry from Mayor Pugh, Mr. Riley stated
that the instances of excessive drinking have not been by
permit but by general usage.
It was noted by Mrs . Gard that the alcoholic ban does not apply
to this park.
In response to an inquiry from Councilman Demsher, Mr. Riley
felt the problem being experienced in Alta Mesa Park is pro-
bably a transferrence of the problems from some of the other
parks.
Councilman Kirkpatrick stated that when the park was developed,
there were no residential uses adjacent to it and perhaps the
City should consider reducing the noise and lights and return
it to a daytime use.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Demsher that the request by the 1st Annual Budweiser Slow Pitch
Softball Tournament to sell beer at Alta Mesa Park, June 6 and
7 , be denied.
Voting was as follows:

and Alta Mesa Park will be discussed by himself and staff and a
recommendation will be made.

IV April 30 , 1981. He stated that the adoption of this ordinance
1(� will provide in our Municipal Code the authority to require

169
oversizing of improvements by subdividers to serve areas not
within the subdivision, and provide for reimbursement by the
City to those subdividers of the difference in cost between the
capacity serving the subdivision only and the total oversized
capacity.
Mr. Hays advised that this procedure was set forth in the City
Code previously, then deleted, and since its deletion, we have
entered into such reimbursement agreements on the basis of our
authority as a general law city to enter into various types of
contracts with other parties. It is felt at this time, how-
ever, that it is appropriate to again provide specifically for
this procedure within our Code.
Councilman Demsher offered Ordinance No. 1545 for first read-
ing, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding
amending Chapter 17 . 40 of the Redding Municipal Code by adopt-

CAL TANK - Report from City Attorney
Mayor Pugh abstained from voting and discussion on this item.
City Attorney Hays submitted a report prepared for Councilman
Demsher following his receipt of a letter from Mrs. Gouldsmith
regarding the problems at Cal Tank. Said report is hereby made
a part of these minutes by reference. Mrs. Gouldsmith' s letter
pointed out several apparent violations at the Cal Tank opera-
tion at 4155 Oasis Road.
Mr. Gouldsmith, 4091 Oasis Road, appeared before Council and
submitted a letter from herself and other interested property
owners in the area, as well as other documents in connection
with the conditions of approval of the Cal Tank operation. Her
main areas of concern included increasing noise levels , unload-
ing of trucks outside the building, lack of an acceptable
visual barrier, routing of vehicles off Oasis onto Beltline , or
off Beltline onto Oasis, as well as the landscaping and plant-
ings along Woggon Lane. Mrs . Gouldsmith feels that the condi-
tions of approval placed on this operation have not been
enforced and that, as a result, property values have dropped.
Councilwoman Gard stated that conditions placed on projects by
the City are of no value if they cannot be enforced.
City Attorney Hays advised that, as stated in his report to Mr.
Demsher, on the visits he made to Cal Tank, he was not able to
determine that the noise levels were unacceptable, nor did he
observe the other violations which concern Mrs. Gouldsmith.

After viewing several pictures submitted by Mrs. Gouldsmith,
Council Members Demsher and Gard concurred that violations
were evident, such as stacking material above the fence and
several dead trees which should be replaced. They felt that
the City should have a better enforcement policy for the
conditions placed on developers.
Mr. Hays stated that in order to adequately enforce the condi-
tions placed on developers , a staff member should be assigned
to this task.
Councilwoman Gard suggested that the noise level requirements
be reviewed and that possibly an increase of 3 dba is too high.
Councilman Kirkpatrick favored requiring a loading dock in the
rear of the building.
Councilman Demsher suggested that City Attorney Hays , Planning
and Community Development Director Perry, and other appropriate
staff members visit the site and ask the neighbors to accompany
them to observe the operation. He suggested that perhaps a
meeting with Mr. Meier would help resolve the problems and that
staff should indicate to him what it wants to have done and
what the alternatives will be if he does not comply.
Mrs. Gard suggested that where there are areas of non-compli-
ance, there should be an established procedure and that pro-
cedure should be followed.
Council Members concurred that the above course be taken and a
report be made to Council at its next regular meeting. Mayor
Pugh abstained from this decision.
DRUG PARAPHERNALIA LEGISLATION
Councilman Kirkpatrick stated that the drug paraphernalia
resolution adopted by the County has been received by the City
3 p Attorney' s office and suggested that the City should also
consider adopting that ordinance or a similar ordinance in the
near future.
Mrs. Gard said the League of California Cities has strongly
supported this position also.
Councilman Demsher concurred with the suggestion.
