Electric Director Lindley reviewed his memorandum to Council dated April 14, 1982. He stated that the Electric Department is pleased with the results of the report from Sverdrup & Parcel for Phase I (A) of the Lake Red Bluff Power Project and recommends proceeding with the project. He noted however, that if various environmental agencies insist on using the power project as a means to restore the fisheries of the Sacramento River, r ` the City may find itself unable to obtain the FERC license prior to 14 67 e October, 1983. Mr. Lindley added that this is the date, under SB 306, that the project would have to be licensed; otherwise, the USBR will be author- ized to proceed with possible project development. It is the recommendation of the Electric Director that Council authorize the expenditure of $203,700 for the completion of Phase I and Phase II (A) of the contract between Sverdrup & Parcel and Associates, Inc. , which 4/19/82 101 4 d includes environmental studies and a complete feasibility report suitable for inclusion in the FERC license application. A supplemental appropria- tion of funds will be required for this project. Mr. Lindley stated that if, after completion of Phase I and Phase II (A) , the Red Bluff Power Project still appears to be feasible, the Electric Department intends to request that Council authorize funds for the `. completion of the contract which includes the license application. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick approving the recommendation of the Electric Director as hereinabove stated with regard to the contract with Sverdrup & Parcel and Associates for the Lake Red Bluff Power Project. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes SACRAMENTO RIVER HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT NOS. 3, 4, 5, and 6 (ACID) - Contract for Professional Services for Reconnaissance and Bid Documents. Electric Director Lindley reviewed his memorandum to Council dated April 15 , 1982. He requested that Council consider approval of a profes- sional services contract between the City of Redding and Sverdrup & Parcel ' and Associates, Inc. , for the Sacramento River Hydroelectric Project Nos. 3, 4, 5, and 6 (ACID) . Mr. Lindley advised that four proposals have been reviewed and staff has concluded that the Sverdrup & Parcel firm provided the proposal which most adequately responds to the RFP with regard to project requirements and the overall cost of services. He noted that Council will have the opportunity to review and re-evaluate the project between activity phases. It is the recommendation of the Electric Director that Council award the Co tract for Technical Services for Hydroelectric Feasibility Studies and Pr-paration of Sample Turnkey Bid Documents for the Sacramento River Hysroelectric Project Nos. 3, 4, 5, and 6 (ACID) to Sverdrup & Parcel and io(/ 4 As.ociates, Inc. , provide authorization for the Mayor to sign the contract do uments, and authorize the expenditure of $29,800 for the completion of th• reconnaissance studies as outlined in the proposal . He noted that the Ci y Attorney has reviewed the contract documents. A supplemental apsropriation of funds will be required for this project. In response to an inquiry from Mayor Gard, Mr. Lindley advised that this project's effect on High Shasta will be included in the feasibility study for the Shasta Dam enlargement project. He stated that providing the City can license this project, and if the enlargement project proceeds and has an impact on our Sacramento River projects, the agency building the Dam would have the burden of making us whole. MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Pugh approving the recommendation of the Electric Director as hereinabove stated with regard to the Contract for Technical Services for Hydroelectric Feasibility Studies and preparation of Sample Turnkey Bid Documents for the Sacramento River Hydroelectric Project Nos. 3, 4, 5, and 6 to Sverdrup & Parcel and 1 Associates, Inc. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes NCPA CAMERON RIDGE WIND - ELECTRIC POWER PROJECT Electric Director Lindley reviewed his memorandum to Council dated April 15, 1982. He stated that the Northern California Power Agency has 111 requested that each of its members provide a preliminary commitment of A i interest in the Cameron Ridge Wind Energy Project located on the Tehachapi ( Lp( r' mountains, southeast of Bakersfield, California. He noted that NCPA staff has completed the preliminary investigation of the project. Mr. Lindley explained that the project as proposed by the Wind Energy Company (WEC) , would include approximately 80 wind turbine generators which 4/19/82 x i 102 4- Z E e would produce a maximum generation output capacity of 40 megawatts, at a total estimated project cost of $92 million. He added, however, that because of the dependence on wind for an energy resource, no dependable I project capacity is expected. Mr. Lindley explained the requirements for financing arrangements for the project. It is the recommendation of the Electric Director that Council provide a limited commitment of interest at this time, to participate in 10% of the 11/ , project. The participation to be conditioned such that NCPA arrange for short term financing requirements it might require prior to bonding and that NCPA be able to demonstrate to the City' s satisfaction, that the project will show a net profit throughout the period of layoff which will be necessary until the City needs the power for its own use. In response to an inquiry from Mayor Gard, Mr. Lindley advised that the Wind Energy Company is a group of private investors, based in Nevada. He said NCPA feels comfortable with the company. Mr. Lindley explained that there are seasonal , as well as daily changes in the winds and that the project would provide "off-peak" energy, due to 5 these changes. He noted that the City has had some discussion with NCPA regarding the development of other wind energy sites. Councilman Pugh emphasized that this is the ground floor of a new tech- nology and it is important to indicate some level of interest in order to see what will happen with the project, especially if NCPA can arrange financing so that the money does not come directly from the City. Mr. Lindley stated that the City may have to come up with some advance financing, but the greatest majority would come from NCPA. MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Pugh authoriz- 7 ing a preliminary commitment to participate in 10% of the NCPA Cameron il Ridge Wind Electric Power Project as hereinabove stated. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes t URGENCY ITEM - Environmental Services Contract with CH2M Hill for the Lake Redding Power Project Mayor Gard declared that this matter be declared an urgency item. Electric Director Lindley reviewed his memorandum to Council dated April 19, 1982. He stated that a telephone message was received from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Friday, April 17, 1982, which necessitated this urgency item. He explained that FERC is currently ?' planning to rule that our license application for the Lake Redding Project r is deficient, partly on the grounds that the license application lacks sufficient adadromous fisheries information for FERC to rule as to whether LQ n an environmental impact statement is required. They will allow the City 90 I days to complete the necessary field studies to amend its license appli- i cation. Mr. Lindley advised that three proposal were reviewed and staff has fconcluded that CH2M Hill has provided the proposal which most adequately r responds to the objective of the Request for Proposal with regard to 5 project requirements and the overall cost of services. i t It is the recommendation of the Electric Director that Council award the Contract for Professional Services for Environmental Studies for the Lake Redding Power Project, to CH2M Hill , authorize the Mayor to sign the i" contract documents, and authorize the expenditure of $153,240 for the E completion of Task I , Environmental Studies, and Task IIL, Reports , as outlined in the proposal . Currently, it is uncertain whether Task II , Turbine Mortality Studies, will be required. i r r 4/19/82 103 7 It is further recommended that Council approve Task Order #1 , which provides for a preliminary report, authorize the Mayor to sign the document and authorize the expenditure of $20,000 for the completion of Task Order #1 . The Electric Director hopes this report will provide FERC with sufficient information to withdraw the Notice of Deficiencies. Mr. Lindley stated that the contract has been reviewed by the City Attorney. A supplemental appropriation of funds will be required for this project. Mr. Lindley advised that the 90 day time period will begin when the Deputy Director of FERC signs the Notice of Deficiencies, which has not yet occurred. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick approving the recommendations of the Electric Director pertaining to the Environmental Services Contract with CH2M Hill for the Lake Redding Power Project, as hereinabove stated.

PUBLIC HEARING - re Intention to Deregulate Taxicab Fares The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Gard opened the public hearing re the proposed deregulation of taxicab fares. iThe following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: r Affidavit of Posting - Notice of Public Hearing The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received and III the Mayor ascertained that there were no comments or protests from the floor. i City Attorney Hays advised that this public hearing is being held at the request of Council following Council ' s consideration of a proposal A from London Taxi for a fare increase. The purpose of the hearing is to receive input from the public with regard to Council 's intention to deregulate taxi fares. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Pugh that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes 1 Mr. Hays advised that if it is Council ' s wish to deregulate taxi fares, staff should be directed to prepare the necessary documents for consideration at a subsequent meeting. He explained that this action does not deregulate the safety, licensing requirements, etc. but only the rates. iCouncilman Pugh noted that it may be determined in the future that taxi fares must be regulated, if rates go too high and this becomes a problem. Councilman Fulton was concerned that without this control , taxi fares y will become excessive, as they have in the past with deregulation. III MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Pugh instructing the City Attorney to prepare the necessary documents for i deregulation of taxi fares. f P 4/19/82 1 105 Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Demsher, Kirkpatrick, Pugh, and Gard Noes: Council Members - Fulton Absent: Council Members - None Councilman Demsher cautioned the taxicab owners that Council has the option to again regulate rates if this becomes a problem. PUBLIC HEARING - re CATV Proposed Rate Increase The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Gard opened the public hearing re Viacom Cablevision's proposed rate increase and expressed intention to deregulate its operation pursuant to State Law. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing • The City Clerk advised that several letters of protest have been received which have been distributed to Council . City Attorney Hays advised Council that on April 6, 1982 , the ad hoc CATV Committee appointed by the Council , consisting of Council Members Fulton and Kirkpatrick, Assistant City Manager Courtney and City Attorney Hays, met and reviewed the most recent request for a rate increase by Viacom Cablevision. Mr. Hays stated that presently, Viacom is apparently undertaking system improvements , which when completed, would allow it to qualify for deregulation, pursuant to the provisions which are found in California Government Code Section 530661 and accompanying sections. He added that Mr. Gerald Brown of Viacom has stated in his letter that they intend to deregulate. Following the CATV Committee meeting, it was the consensus that the Council hold a public hearing to receive input on the question of the setting of a rate by the City Council , or whether or not the City should consider deregulating CATV with respect to rates. Mr. Gerald Brown, General Manager of Viacom, stated they are asking for an increase in rates to off-set expanded services. He indicated that they have provided the City with the necessary financial state- ments to justify this increase. He compared the proposed rates and service with the rates and services provided to Red Bluff and areas in Shasta County. He stated that only two letters have been received complaining about increased service and several hundred letters have been received asking when additional service will be available. Councilman Kirkpatrick asked Mr. Brown if Viacom has made a proposal to the motels and hotels giving them the option to accept the new service or remain at their current level . Mr. Brown explained that because of the transient occupancy of motels and hotels, it is difficult for one person to be liable for converter boxes for each room because of the problem of theft. Therefore, motel and hotel owners would rather take the option to have one or two rooms with this service. He stated that this type of business will have this option. ° In response to an inquiry from Mr. Kirkpatrick, Mr. Brown replied that it is still their intention that the Show Time program will remain a separate entity. Mr. Brown stated that efforts to meet with City officials regarding the financial status of Show Time have failed. He 4 Jx 4/19/82 1 106 IE l , emphasized that Show Time is a separate entity and its assets do not ` enter into the proposal for a rate increase. Mr. Brown stressed that it was the recommendation of the City that Viacom provide a financial statement for capital improvements on the additional services only. r Councilman Kirkpatrick asked Mr. Brown if Show Time is currently paying any portion of the basic cable service today. Mr. Brown replied that for the purpose of the request before Council , it is not. Councilman Kirkpatrick asked Mr. Brown if it is their intention to i deregulate regardless of the outcome of this meeting. t $ Mr. Brown answered that he is not prepared to answer that question. 5 He said there has been a problem in the past with rate applications t and rate structuring with the City in a timely manner. He said it is his wish to work with the City, however, AB 699 which allows deregulation is an option available to them. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Fulton, Mr. Brown advised that their last rate increase was in 1977. Councilman Demsher asked what new types of channels will be offered i. with the increased service. r Mr. Brown advised that they will be providing six additional satellite channels including a government channel , a sports channel , a news i channel , a religious channel , a health and welfare channel , and a > childrens channel . 1 Janice Sindorf, 2010 East Street, stated she watches a lot of T.V. and would not mind the additional rate if the new programs to be offered III were of interest to her. She feels most people will not enjoy the new programs. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Councilman Fulton pointed out that it has been some time since Viacom has had a rate increase and feels that the proposed increase is not out of line even with no increase in service. He favors the increase. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Demsher approving the rate increase as proposed and that the City continue to regulate. Councilman Kirkpatrick stressed that Viacom is making a select group out of the motels and hotels and felt the option should be made available to all citizens. He agrees that a rate increase is justi- fied but not the $9 primary rate they propose. He felt that the increased service should not be forced on people who do not want it. f Mr. Kirkpatrick emphasized that the hotels and motels have gotten a special deal from Viacom because they have applied pressure on them. In response to an inquiry from Mr. Demsher, Mr. Kirkpatrick advised that the option available to the motel and hotel owners was notIII discussed in meetings with Viacom because that arrangement was not made until after the meeting. L 0 i Councilman Demsher asked if that option could be made available to all citizens in general . • t k 6 1 4/19/82 a 107 • Mr. Brown replied that the new $9 rate was set to cover capital improvements for the additional service and the rate would have to be raised to $15 to cover these costs, if only some accepted the service. Mr. Brown noted that in Viacom's franchise with the City, businesses with transient occupants have a different status. Councilman Fulton emphasized that even at the current level of service, a rate increase would be justified. Council Members concurred that although the public hearing is closed, they would allow another representative from Viacom to answer ques- 1 tions of Council . Kent Rasmussen, 4528 Ranchette, Santa Rosa, explained that the converter box is the problem at hotels and motels. He advised that in most new T.V. sets, the converter box is built in and there is no way to police this. Councilman Kirkpatrick emphasized that motel and hotel owners would also have the option to purchase new T.V. 's with built in converter boxes and receive the additional service at the old rate. Mr. Rasmussen agreed. Councilman Pugh expressed that the City has had on-going problems in getting the required financial reports from Viacom. He noted that a rate increase request was denied about eight months ago based upon the • fact that Viacom was receiving an adequate rate of return; however, now that they are increasing their investment in the system, an increase may be justified. Mr. Pugh stated that there is no way to apply the increase on a flexible basis but must be an across-the-board rate. He expressed the hope that in the future, the City can get more adequate information from Viacom on which to base its decision. City Attorney Hays asked for clarification of the previous motion. Councilman Kirkpatrick asked if the rate will apply to all customers. Discussion ensued regarding the rates applied to motels and hotels and Councilman Pugh stated that if Viacom wants to provide converter boxes to the motels and hotels under a separate charge, they may do so. He emphasized that the motel/hotel rate should remain as is. Assistant City Manager Courtney stated that CATV rates are applied by resolution and it would be appropriate to instruct the City Attorney to prepare a resolution detailing the rate structure, for approval at a subsequent meeting. Mayor Gard reminded Council that it would be order for them to act on the motion on the floor for approval of the proposed rate increase. Councilman Pugh suggested the motion be amended to indicate that the transient rate will remain at the current rate as long as they remain at the current level of service. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Fulton amending the original motion as follows: Council approves a resi- dential CATV rate of $9 per month for primary service, $3.50 per month for extra T.V. outlet, and $2.00 per month for FM outlet, with the provision that the transient rate be maintained at its current rate, unless the 18 channel service is provided, at which time their rate would also be $9 , $3.50, and $2.00, and instructing the City Attorney to prepare the necessary resolution. • I i 4/19/82 1 t F 108 i r Voting was as follows: r Ayes: Council Members - Demsher, Fulton, Pugh, and Gard Noes: Council Members - Kirkpatrick Absent: Council Members - None On the initial motion made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Council- man Demsher, to approve the proposed rate increase, as amended above, T } voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Demsher, Fulton, Pugh, and Gard Noes: Council Members - Kirkpatrick E Absent: Council Members - None r SET PUBLIC HEARING - GPA-2-82 MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that a public hearing be set for 7:30 P.M. , May 3, 1982, to consider General Plan Amendment Application GPA-2-82, by Gary Stokes.
