He noted that a Mailgram was received from Stone & Youngberg on August 17 , 1981, requesting the exclusive right to negotiate with the City for the purchase of the bonds for a period of not less than 45 days. Mr. Sperry said this would bring the matter �1,/7 back to Council by its meeting of October 5 , 1981.

Mr. Sperry stated that the resolution authorizing the sale of bonds would not be appropriate for adoption this evening but recommended a minute order authorizing Stone & Youngberg to negotiate the sale of bonds. 8/17/81 318 Mr. Sperry discussed the Notice of Award of Contract and stated that the contractor, developer of the project and several other interested parties were present at a meeting this morning to discuss a subsidiary agreement to be executed by the City Manager which would allow the City to proceed with the Notice of Award of Contract even though the project is not fully funded. Mr. Sperry stated that, after lengthy discussion, a draft agree- ment was prepared and signed by all parties which would allow the contractor to proceed immediately. He recommended that Council proceed to award the contract subject to a subsidiary agreement to be in letter form. The proposed plan provides that the work be done in two phases with phase one being funded by $140 ,000 from the General Fund as intended, with another $160 ,000 advance from the General Fund to complete phase one. Said advance to be repaid, with interest, when the sale of bonds is consummated. In regard to the action to reduce assessments, Mr. Sperry advised that an agreement has been reached with the Rothers. He stated that no agreement has been reached with the Harters , and they have begun litigation. Mr. Sperry noted, however, that discussion is still underway with the Harters in the hopes of reaching a mutual agreement.

Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated August 13 , 1981, by Dr. Dave Hankin, et al. He stated that the Planning Commission unanimously recommended amendment of the General Plan to reclassify property located from 1223 to 2175 Terrace Street from "Residential, " nine units per acre to "Office-Residential. " A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph and a copy of the draft negative declaration was submitted to Council. Mr. Perry stated that some adjoining property owners on Terrace expressed concern to the Planning Commission in regard to street conditions and traffic as their principal concerns. They were not opposed to the zoning, but re- quested the following site-plan considerations: 1. Commercial parking lot access to Terrace Street is to be prohibited. 2 . Compatible building and landscaping design. 3. Sidewalks . 4 . No parking zones near corners. Essentially, what is requested by the adjoining property owners is that, if the property is developed as offices, they be oriented to Court Street rather than to Court and Terrace or just to Terrace. The Commission feels that "Office-Residential" is an appropriate classification for the area but feels it should be stipulated that commercial access only be from Court Street provided the zoning on the west side of Terrace is changed from "R-3" to "RM-9 . " 8/17/81 327 It is the recommendation of both the Commission and the staff that the General Plan be changed from Residential, nine units per acre to Office-Residential. It is further recommended that the negative declaration be ratified and that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare a resolu- tion for adoption in November. Councilman Fulton asked how the properties could orient to Court Street when they face Terrace. Mr. Perry advised that if these properties were developed commercially, property owners would be required to obtain access from Court Street, possibly by combining parcels.

Project is compatible with the Code of the City of Redding, California. and, ratifies the negative declaration, as approved by the Board of Administrative Review on June 10 , 1981. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Demsher approving the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff as hereinabove stated in regard to General Plan Amendment Application GPA-3-81, by Dr. Dave Hankin et al and instructing the City Attorney to prepare the necessary resolution for adoption in November, 1981. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - re Amendment of Chapter 18 . 20 , Office District The hour of 7 : 30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Pugh opened the public hearing re amendment of Chapter 18 . 20 of the Redding Municipal Code, Office District. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: to? Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendation dated 8/13/81 The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received. Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated August 13 , 1981. He stated that the Planning Commission unanimously recommended amendment of the "C-O" Office District. As proposed, the ordinance would combine the "CO" and "CO-BR" Districts into one set of standards and minimize the need to adopt "F" site-plan-review requirements by incorporating controls on landscaping, signs, trash containers, and fencing, directly into the ordinance. 8/17/81 328 It is the recommendation of both the Planning Commission and staff that the negative declaration be ratified and that an ordinance be offered for first reading. Mr. Maurice Johanson, 747 Auditorium Drive, felt adoption of this ordinance will substantially decrease the buildable areas within this zoning classification. He expressed concern regarding the 40 foot height restriction and felt that the City should encourage construction in areas where buildings could go up rather than out, for a better utiliz- ation of land and to provide services to these areas at a more reasonable cost. Mayor Pugh stated that the main areas of concern are with the 40 foot height limit, setbacks and planning require- ments. Mrs. Gard noted that there are some buildings now in the "CO" District with zero front and backyard setbacks and expressed concern regarding the excessive use of blacktop and concrete. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Demsher that the public hearing be closed.

Mr. Arness stated that the connection charges referred to in 3 LI 69, Mr. Oliver ' s letter are valid charges and are based on an Ordinance passed in 1979 . It was noted that an assessment / ' district was formed approximately 10 years ago which provided Mr. Oliver' s lots with sewer and water, however he did not wish to connect at that time.

SOLID WASTE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL SERVICE - Proposed Changes in Route Service and Recommended Increase in Monthly Charge Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memorandum to Council dated August 10 , 1981, which is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference. He submitted a proposed resolution which includes changes in residential service location, special residential service for the handicapped, elimination of Wednes- day pickup of yard refuse, residential and commercial service A61 6219 weight limitations, and residential and commercial monthly service charges. Mrs. Gard asked when the City is going to get involved in recycling. Mr. Arness stated that the City has exhibited interest in various recycling projects. He noted, however, that an appli- cation for grant funds was denied by the Solid Waste Management Board. Mr. Arness advised it is staff' s position to encourage recycling in any way possible. Mr. Brickwood said that staff will prepare a report on its experiences with regard to recycling programs . He noted that recycling would require large storage warehouses, large vehic- les , etc. and would not be cost effective for the City at this time. 8/17/81 332 Mrs. Gard favors recycling for moral reasons, and feels this is something the City should pursue. Councilman Demsher concurred that recycling is not cost effec- tive at this time. He said the City needs to decide what type of collection center is necessary and what is the willingness of the citizens regarding separating their garbage. Mr. Brickwood stated that a survey of the citizens of Redding, conducted some time ago, indicated that the vast majority are in favor of recycling but not if it means operating the centers at a loss. Pavita Krimle, 1848 Milo Street, stated she is a VISTA volunteer and has been involved with recycling centers in other parts of the State. She encouraged their use in Redding. Ms. Krimle was concerned about the elimination of the Wednesday pickup of yard refuse and favored the use of organic materials for a City- operated compost pile. City Attorney Hays advised that while the Wednesday pickup is eliminated, the yard refuse will be picked up on another day but will be mixed with other materials. Brad Brown, 2735A Radio Lane , agreed that recycling is a moral issue. He also favored the use of composting organic materials and felt there would be a market for this. Mr. Brown recom- mended that the City consider recycling. Mayor Pugh stated that the City is trying to provide services that are cost effective and added that payment for this type of program would have to come from the people. He said that the City should not undertake a recycling program until it is economical to do so. Mrs. Gard asked what the cost would be to place bins near the dump site and label them, aluminum, glass , paper, etc. Mr. Demsher suggested that a small area be set up near the front gate of the dump where people could separate their recyclables into piles, on an experimental basis. Councilman Kirkpatrick stated that if this is done , it could be said that the City is taking revenue away from the private recycling organizations. Resolution MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that Resolution No. 81-180 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding establishing rates for the collection and disposal of solid waste pursuant to the provisions of Section 9 . 28 . 110 of the Redding Municipal Code, and repealing Resolution No. 4327 .

He noted that it is similar in form to ordinances previously adopted by Council, Lute } wherein approval was given for various financing, but indicating that the City of Redding was not a participant in the project. Mr. Hays stated that Section 5 of this Ordinance carries the same caveat, making adoption of this Ordinance merely enabling legislation for NCPA to further finance the referenced project. Councilman Demsher offered Ordinance No. 1559 for first reading, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redding author- izing the Northern California Power Agency to issue Revenue Bonds (NCPA Project No. 1 - Development Fund Bonds) . ORDINANCE - Shell East Block Project Mr. Hays advised that the intent of this proposed ordinance is to utilize those provisions of the California Government Code that allow financing through bonded indebtedness for power Gly facilities. The City has expressed some interest in the pro- ttit ject, however the Power Committee is not prepared to make a specific recommendation about the City' s participation in the project. Mr. Hays stated that it is necessary to proceed with the introduction and adoption of this Ordinance, from a time aspect, so that NCPA can proceed to acquire financing for the project. He added that Section 5 has been added to the Ordi- nance which states that, unless Redding elects to enter into a member agreement to be considered a participant, the City will not become obligated in any way for the debt which will be created for the project.
