He stated that the M-S-R Joint Powers Agency is currently considering participating in various high voltage electrical power transmission projects to insure a future power delivery path from present and future generation resources. Mr. Lindley said M-S-R is reviewing available transmission from the southwestern U.S. as it relates to existing and proposed projects such as the San Juan, and Harry Allen Projects. The Mead-Phoenix transmission project is one of the transmission projects currently under consideration. Mr. Lindley explained that the proposed studies would require at lease two years to perform and are estimated to cost $9 million to $11 million. The total M-S-R share and the proportioned City of Redding share would be dependent on the final level of total member participation. He estimated, however, that the probable cost to the City of Redding for transmission of power would be as much as $3.75 million. 4, Mr. Lindley stated that M-S-R has approved a quarterly member assessment of $100,000 for pre-participation engineering and coordination studies. III Redding's share of the assessment amounts to $15,000. He emphasized that the engineering and coordination studies proposed by M-S-R will provide a needed base of information concerning power transmission via the Nevada- Arizona-Southern California transmission corridor for use in considering future area project participation. It is the recommendation of the Electric Director that Council authorize the expenditure of $15,000 as Redding' s share of the assessment. He indicated that a supplemental appropriation of funds will be required. Mr. Lindley explained that if it is felt that the City should go ahead with this project, additional funds will be requested at a future date. He also noted that if M-S-R decides to proceed and the City of Redding does not, the City may be able to get its money back but there is no guarantee of return. } Councilman Pugh commented that it has become recently known that W.A.P.A. is increasing its power grid which would open up transmission lines in the Colorado Basin area and other areas in the Southwest. He said generation is being developed and exists in the Colorado basin but the biggest problem is transmission. Mr. Pugh stated that these studies may lead to a less expensive way of generating power. Councilman Demsher concurred that anything which would lead to more flexi- bility would be worth looking into. III III Mayor Gard noted that the $15,000 is a quarterly member assessment and asked if the City would expect to be assessed $60,000 in a year' s time. r r r 5/3/82 t r 117 Mr. Lindley responded that this is a "kick off" amount and there will be requests for additional funds. He said it is hoped that this initial amount will give the City a target area. MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Pugh authoriz- ing the expenditure of $15,000 as Redding' s share of the M-S-R quarterly assessment for pre-participation engineering and coordination studies in the DC Transmission Studies. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes AMENDMENT TO OPERATING AGREEMENT - Security Pacific National Bank Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated April 28, 1982. He stated that the City entered into an Operating Agreement with Security Pacific National Bank on May 5 , 1980. This agreement committed $100,000 of Community Development housing rehabilitation funds to be used with bank funds to provide low-interest 2 home-improvement loans to low-income residents of the City. Mr. Perry 1 advised that under the present agreement, the bank provides loans at established FHA Title I interest rates and the City provides funds to lower these rates to 4 percent and 8 percent. The maximum loan amount available is $15,000 with a maximum repayment term of 15 years. Mr. Perry explained that the agreement with the bank is an asset to the �a2 City' s housing programs. It allows the City to provide more loans with a smaller financial commitment and reduces City staff costs. He added that the proposed amendment would continue this program by extending the term of the agreement one additional year to May 5 , 1983. It is the recommendation of staff that Council approve the amendment by minute order and authorize the City Manager to sign the amendment to the Operating Agreement. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Pugh authorizing the City Manager to sign the amendment to the Operating Agreement between Security Pacific National Bank and the City of Redding.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PLANNING FEES Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated April 29, 1982. He recommended that when the 1982-83 budget is approved, the planning fees be raised. Council was given copies • /�7 of the proposed fee schedule. Also submitted were copies of a fee summary of other agencies taken in October, 1981 . Mr. Perry advised that the revised fee schedule was reviewed with the Planning Commission on April 27, 1982 , and the Commission unanimously recommended its adoption.

The rIIIVote: Unanimous Ayes r a ANNEXATION REQUEST NO. 82-9 - Oasis/Woggon Lane Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated April 29, 1982. He submitted a petition signed by owners of 45 parcels in the area on either side of Oasis Road, between the Southern Pacific Railroad and Woggon Lane. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry advised that with the exception of Oasis Road, all other roads in the area are unpaved easements. He stated that in terms of meeting City development standards , the area is deficient in water system and fire-flow 6 3 improvements, street improvements and storm-drain improvements. With the development of Buckeye Park and Buckeye school , there are now neighborhood recreation uses. 1 Mr. Perry stated that there are 73 dwelling units within the area and the petition amounts to 60 percent of the units in the area. He indicated ten issues identified with the annexation. Mr. Perry indicated that it is unlikely that all the identified deficiencies in the area can be corrected; however, it is also unlikely that any real improvements will be made if the area is not annexed. The two most important issues appear to be electrical facilities and fire protection. The City already provides fire protection and water service to the area. f It is the recommendation of staff that Council advise the owners it is K. willing to annex the area if they will form an assessment district to III acquire electrical facilities and to upgrade the water system to meet minimum fire-flow requirements. It is further recommended that the Council stipulate the following: 1 . Sewer service will not be provided unless property owners form an assessment district to extend sewers to the area. r L 2. The City will not maintain private-road easements until dedicated and brought up to City standards. L 3. The City assumes no responsibility for reduced fire and police-response time as a result of substandard streets. t. Councilman Pugh expressed concern regarding the City providing services on runimproved private roads and then being held responsible for maintenance. 1. Councilman Demsher said that the recommendation regarding the assessment district is in order and that problems regarding costs , etc. should be t resolved before Council proceeds. Mr. Perry stated that the Public Works and Electric Directors will not be asked for comments until the property owners are contacted to see if they are interested in the City' s proposal . Councilman Demsher noted that property owners interested in annexation need to know what Council is concerned about. r Councilman Kirkpatrick felt that the City is being consistent in tightening E its annexation requirements. s F 5/3/82 119 S i In response to an inquiry from Councilman Fulton, Mr. Perry advised that a copy of the letter going to these property owners will be submitted to Council prior to being mailed. Councilman Pugh emphasized that it should be made clear that it will be the responsibility of the property owners to maintain private roads used by `s public vehicles. He added that the City has no obligation to serve an area if the road is impassable. 1 MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Fulton approving the recommendation of staff as hereinabove stated, that the conditions be set forth to the people prior to annexation and that Council have the opportunity to review the letter prior to being mailed.

The Hartnell Avenue extension, which will bisect the property, is under construction. Based on the major arterials, Hartnell Avenue and Parkview Avenue, that will traverse the property and the central location of the property, it is the recommendation of both the Planning Commission and staff that the General Plan be amended as requested. It is also recommended that Council make certain findings in accordance with State EIR Guidelines, that the amendment be approved, and that the City Attorney be asked to prepare a resolution for adoption in June. J Mr. Gary Stokes was present to answer any questions but had no further comments. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Demsher that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Councilman Pugh abstaining MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Demsher approving the amendment as recommended by the Planning Commission and staff, and instructing the City Attorney to prepare the 1 r 4 5/3/82 , 120 necessary resolution for adoption in June for GPA-2-82.

The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Gard opened the public hearing re General Plan Amendment GPA-4-82, by Drake Homes. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendation dated April 28, 1982 The City Clerk advised that no written protests have been received and the Mayor ascertained that there were no protests from the floor. Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated April 28, 1982, which is incorporated If herein by reference. He stated that the Planning Commission has unanimously recommended amendment of the Redding General Plan for 288 acres located north of the Sacramento River, east of North Market Street, and southwest of Hilltop Drive. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry outlined the various classifications on the property, the number of acres of each, and the number of units proposed in each classification. He explained that if approved, the amendment would ? create a new residential category in the General Plan of "Residen- tial ," 4.0 units per acre. He advised that this classification is suitable for areas of flat to nearly level slopes with good access. Mr. Perry felt that given the location of the property and the fact that it generally has good access, it is the opinion of both the Planning Commission and staff that the utilization of a 4.0 units per acre category is appropriate for the area. It is recommended that Council make certain findings in accordance with State EIR Guidelines. It is also recommended that Council approve amendment of the Land Use, Circulation, and Open Space and Conservation Elements of the Redding General Plan as outlined and that the City Attorney be asked to prepare a resolution for adoption in June. In making this recommendation, both the Planning Commission and staff did so with an understanding with the developer that he will not request additional "PD" bonus units for the property, although he may otherwise utilize the "PD" ordinance for development. Any additional units in the future would be evaluated in the context of a general plan amendment. In response to an inquiry from Councilman Fulton, Mr. Perry advised that the 4.0 units per acre is a new category and explained that this property is ideal for that purpose. 1 5/3/82 121 i 4 I 1 s MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that the public hearing be closed.

ANNEXATION REQUEST NO. 82-10 - Tarmac Road Area Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memo to Council dated April 29, 1982. He submitted a petition and letter from owners of eight parcels in the Tarmac Road area. A map of the area was shown on the Vu Graph and comments from various City departments were F considered. Mr. Perry advised that the area is adjacent to the City to the tnorth and west and added that the annexation could not be extended across 1g 3 Highway 44, as it would create an island on the south side of the highway. Mr. Perry advised that the area constitutes the west one-third of the Enterprise Skypark. He added that technically, the parcels requesting annexation could be annexed without annexing the airstrip. He listed $ r r 5/3/82 123 14, several areas of concern with the annexation and stated that the advantage of annexation is to extend City electric service to the north side of Highway 44 in anticipation of new development occurring to the west along the future extension of Shasta View Drive. A secondary reason , he said, is to have all features of the airstrip under one jurisdiction, not split as it is now between the County and the City. Mr. Perry explained that the nearest fire station to the area is Firehall No. 5 on Hartnell . There are neither a water system nor hydrants in the area. He added that under the present response contract, the City has incurred some obligation for fire protection. It is the recommendation of staff that Council advise the owners that it is willing to annex the area provided they form an assessment district to acquire the electric facilities , with the following additional stipulations: 1 . Water service would not be provided until property owners formed an assessment district to extend service to the area in 4 accordance with City standards. 2. Sewer will not be provided until property owners form an assessment district to extend sewers to the area. As an alternative, the Planning Director suggested that Council could defer action on the request until waterlines are closer to the area; however, this would make electrical service more difficult to property in the City to the west of this area. Mr. Perry stated that if the area does annex, a goal of the City should be either to require that a bona fide airstrip be established, meeting minimum standards or that the use be terminated. In response to an inquiry from Mayor Gard, Mr. Perry replied that the Bella Vista Water District is considerably to the north of the requested annexation--about one mile. Mr. Perry added that, if the airport is going to stay there, the "PD" concept is not a bad idea in that area as it ties in very well . Mayor Gard expressed concern regarding the City' s fire rating as it continues to annex areas with substandard water systems. Mr. Perry 4 explained that when development picks up in this area, this will bring the water lines closer.. Council discussed the provisions for electrical service and the problem of 9 substandard water systems in the area. Mayor Gard inquired if it would be better to extend the line and annex the airpark. Mr. Perry stated that if the City works with the Skypark club and requires that the airpark be brought up to standard, it should be annexed. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton that action be deferred until water lines are available closer to the area. d The motion died for lack of a second. Councilman Demsher felt more information is needed about electrical service and what advantage it would be to annex the airpark area. MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick referring Annexation Request No. 82-10 to staff for further study on planning and electrical service. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes i i 1 5/3/82 I r 124 i ANNEXATION REQUEST NO. 82-11 - Wooded Acres i Planning and Community Development Director Perry submitted a petition from the Wooded Acres area requesting annexation to the City. The request k represents 91 lots, or 25 percent of the lots in the area. A map of the Farea was shown on the Vu Graph. r y The area would become contiguous to the City only upon annexation of the Redding Municipal Airport. Mr. Perry stated that due to questions i concerning acquisition of electric facilities, the water system and property-tax exchanges, it was recommended that the annexation requests not be combined with the Airport annexation. S3 It is the recommendation of staff that no action be taken other than to refer the petitions to various City departments for report and recommenda- tion. When the reports are received, it is further recommended that a letter be sent to the property owners involved, advising them of the issues involved in the request. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick referring Annexation Request No. 82-11 , Wooded Acres , to various City departments for report and recommendation. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes x Councilman Pugh noted that Council should review the letter to property owners before it is sent out. JOINT PLANNING AGREEMENT RE FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his memorandum to Council dated April 28, 1982. He submitted a draft joint planning agreement between the County of Shasta, the Shasta Dam P.U.D. , and the City of Redding to undertake a sewage study for the Redding area. The study is 4 for the purpose of evaluating the construction and feasibility of develop- 1 ment of a regional sewage treatment plant near the mouth of Stillwater Creek. III Mr. Perry stated that the format is similar to that utilized for the Municipal Airport Plan in that a seven-member committee would be created for the purpose of hiring a consultant and to assure continuity between the consultant, the staff, and the legislative boards. The City of Redding } contribution would be 53 percent, or $53,000 of the estimated $100,000 study. Shasta County and the Shasta Dam P.U.D. would contribute $37 ,000 and $10,000 respectively. 3 p 1� Mr. Perry explained that the scope of work was developed to consider the 3 engineering feasibility of a plant near Stillwater Creek, or the alternative of pumping to the Clear Creek Plant. The study is also to s address financing and administrative mechanisms. He stated that at the conclusion of the study, there will be no further commitment incumbant upon any of the three agencies involved. At the request of Shasta County, the area generally east of Stillwater Creek would be deleted from the actual study; however, a statement is contained in the scope of work that any sewer alternative considered must be able to gravity sewer that area. It is the recommendation of staff that Council approve participation of the City in the study by adoption of a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute the agreement on behalf of the City. Mr. Perry noted that an addition was made to the draft agreement designating the City of Redding as the contracting agency. He further noted that two members of the City Council should be appointed to serve on the committee. 1 I- i i E 5/3/82 1 125 4 i 9 Resolution MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Demsher that j Resolution No. 82-60 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding approving agreement for joint development by the City of Redding, the County of Shasta, and the Shasta Dam Public Utility District of a sewage treatment study for the Redding metropolitan area.
