Mr. Henson noted that in the process of preparing applications to fund second-year activities, the Community Development Advisory Board and Committee held a meeting to review the program and conduct a public hearing on the proposed applications.

Staff concurs in the afore- stated recommendations.

Mr. King said that the building has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places which upholds the City' s intent to preserve the historic character of the building. The subcommittee is continuing to review J S potential uses of the building and to investigate possible funding sources for building restoration. Mr. King stated that the City has been offered a modest grant in the amount of $500 to assist in the preliminary architectural plans and cost estimates for the building for possible sale to private interests as an alternative to City ownership and preservation. The total cost of the preliminary architectural plans is estimated to be thirty-four hundred dollars, and the appraisal work is estimated at twelve hundred dollars. It is the recommendation of the Council subcommittee that the City Manager be authorized to enter into a contract with the firm of Schaefer, Wirth, Long for preliminary architectural services in the amount of $3,400 and that the City Manager be authorized also to enter into a contract with 52 the firm of Stathem and Shaw for an appraisal of the building at an estimated cost of $1,200. In addition, it is recommended that the City accept the grant offer of $500 from the National Trust. Councilman Pugh expressed his appreciation to the subcommittee and those involved in attaining good public exposure on this project. Mayor Demsher said there is a need to move forward as soon as possible as there is a high level of community interest in this building. Mr. Harris pointed out that if the City is to comply with the guidelines established for qualifying for a rehabilitation grant for restoration, the application must be filed by May 31, 1979.

Generes and City of Redding Planning and Community Development Director Harris said that Council recently authorized proceeding with annexation of an area at the west end of Bran- stetter Lane. At that time, staff was unaware that the property is located within the Centerville Water District. Helen Faye Generes requested annex- "' of additional acreage in that vicinity some time ago. That request is also within the Centerville Water District. It is not a unanimous request, as there are property owners in the vicinity who are opposed to the annexation. Mr. Harris pointed out that past Council policy has been to require detachment from the special district prior to proceeding with annexation to the City. In this instance, there is some question as to the City's ability to provide 7/4 normal urban services to the properties in question. It is the recommendation of staff that before proceeding with the annexation, the City staff further analyze the issue of service to the properties and that the City Attorney meet with the Board of Directors of the Centerville Water District and their attorney to discuss the possibility of detachment and/or overlapping juris- dictions. Mayor Demsher commented that one of the major issues is the Davis-Grunsky loan for water in this special district. He noted that the formula for payment is based on acreage and if the acreage is reduced due to annexation, it may pose some heavy burdens on this district. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Pugh approving the recommendation of the staff as hereinbefore stated. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Helen F. Generes apprised Council that she has requested that her property be detached from the Centerville Water District. ENTERPRISE ANNEX NO. 79-1 - East of Alta Mesa, by William Piles Planning and Community Development Director Harris stated that at its Febru- ary 5, 1979, meeting, Council approved annexation proceedings for an 80-acre parcel east of Alta Mesa, owned by William Piles. Mr. Piles 'has now requested annexation of his entire parcel, located between Alta Mesa and Goodwater Avenue, north of Rancho Road, containing approximately 370 acres. The property is within the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant service area and City water-service area. If Council wishes to proceed with the annexation, the appropriate action would be to approve the request and direct the staff to prepare the application for submission to the Local Agency Formation Com- mission. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that Council proceed with the annexation as requested, and direct staff to prepare the necessary application for submission to the Local Agency Formation Com- mission. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RECONSIDERATION OF PARKING PROHIBITION - Portion of East Street At its meeting of January 15, 1979, Council considered the recommendation of the Traffic and Parking Commission to prohibit parking on the west side of /0 East Street on the frontage of property owned by Helen Generes and Glassburn (� Motors. Council referred the item to the Traffic and Parking Commission for consideration of the recommendation that lane-merger stripinglof the roadway / r'u ;r� and limited parking for patrons be considered. After consideration of Council's recommendation at its meeting of February 13, 1979, the Traffic and Parking Commission voted unanimously to resubmit its recommendation to Council that parking be prohibited at all times on the west side of East Street on both the Generes and Glassburn frontages. Traffic Engineer Hamilton said that the Commission felt that because the street is only 18 ft. wide from the center line to the curb on East Street, northerly of its intersection with Locust Street to Lincoln Street, and cars making left-hand turns on Locust hold up traffic, that parking in that narrow section should be removed. 54 jC Councilman Kirkpatrick said that he had spent some time observing the area and it appears that if the parking is removed on the west side of that portion of the street, motorists tend to speed up and go faster than when cars are parked there. Traffic Engineer Hamilton said that this is possible. He said that he has observed that area on two occasions with the Chairman of the Traffic and Parking Commission. Councilman Kirkpatrick noted that the Traffic and Parking Commission minutes did not reflect that the Council recommendation for curb edge line striping had been considered. Traffic Engineer Hamilton said that the Commission did, in fact, discuss lane-merger striping and that it had inadvertently been omitted from the minutes. He said that he misunderstood Council's recommendation for edge line striping for this portion and that this has not been discussed with the Commission. Councilwoman Gard stated that she was in attendance at the Commission meeting and that striping was discussed, but not the specific suggestion for edge lining. Roger Dawes, R & R Meats, said he has observed this area for nine years and that it appears that traffic from Locust south toward Glassburn Motors is very minimal and that traffic north from Pine Street has not increased sub- stantially with the construction of the Bank of America. He noted that he feels the problem is that 90% of the motorists driving south from South Street to Locust, turn left at Locust which causes a backup of traffic and a bottle- neck. He concurs that when cars are not parked in this area, it becomes a raceway and people appear to be more courteous when cars are parked there. He indicated he liked the idea of street parking pointing out that his business and others are in dire need of parking. He noted that the cross- walk markings on Locust Street have been worn off for years. Public Works Director Arness said he has reservations about edge lining the westerly curb line of that portion of East Street from Lincoln south to Locust. He pointed out that cars attempting to go around those waiting to make a left-hand turn at Locust will not have sufficient room without violating the edge line. Mayor Demsher feels the visibility problem approaching East Street from Locust is critical and desires that the portion northerly of Locust on East Street to Lincoln Street be more clearly designated. He feels it presently provides the driver no indication of where the lane should go. Considerable Council and staff discussion ensued. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Pugh that the red line on the west side of East Street to the south end of its intersection with Locust Street be extended and that the remaining parking be signed for a two-hour limit, the parking spaces be designated on the street, and, that a crosswalk be established across East Street to Kathy's Pies. Helen Generes advised Council that she had not been notified of the Traffic and Parking Commission meeting when this item had been considered. Staff advised Coundil that the notice had been mailed to Mrs. Generes. Councilman Kirkpatrick said he feels it is worthwhile to try a controlled lane rather than removing parking spaces and agreed with the Traffic Engineer that parking crosses be painted in the street, utilizing edge lining in advance. At the suggestion that this item be referred to the Traffic and Parking Com- mission for additional consideration, Councilman Pugh said that he feels too 55 much time has been expended on it and that Council should take action tonight. Public Works Director Arness said it would be difficult to monitor the limited parking. Councilman Kirkpatrick noted that two-hour parking may be excessive and that a lesser time might be advisable or possibly no limit at all. With the concurrence of Councilman Pugh, Councilwoman Gard said she would be willing to amend her motion to drop the time limit for parking and delete extension of the red curb marking in favor of designated parking. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Pugh that the roadway be striped from Lincoln southerly to Locust with centerline and edge line to designate a definite lane, that parking spaces be designated by parking crosses in this area, that crosswalks be established across Locust and East Streets, and that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare the necessary resolution. Helen Generes adamantly objected to establishment of designated parking on the frontage of her property which would benefit adjacent businesses. Mrs. Generes pointed out that she has an agreement with the City that assures her that there will not be any parking along the frontage of her entire property. Mayor Demsher explained that Mrs. Generes will not be denied access to her property. He requested that she provide a copy of the referenced document to the City Attorney and, if in his opinion, Council has made an error in judgment, Council will revise its decision. Mayor Demsher called for a vote on the existing motion on the floor. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes STOP SIGN - Ward Lane at Lake Bouelvard Traffic Engineer Hamilton advised Council that at its meeting on February 13, 1979, the Traffic and Parking Commission unanimously voted to recommend to Council the installation of a stop sign on Ward Lane for westbound traffic at Lake Boulevard. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Pugh approving the recommendation of the Traffic and Parking Commission, and instructing the City Attorney to prepare the necessary resolution. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RELOCATION OF STOP SIGN - Larkspur Lane and Industrial Street Traffic Engineer Hamilton advised Council that at its meeting of February 13, 1979, the Traffic and Parking Commission unanimously recommended that the existing stop sign forwestbound traffic on Industrial Street at Larkspur Lane be removed and that a stop sign be placed to stop northbound traffic on Larkpur Lane at Industrial Street. Mr. Hamilton said that paving the section of Industrial Street between Larkspur Lane and Canby Road has increased through traffic on Industrial Street and has made it necessary to consider this change in the location of the intersection control. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Fulton approving the recommendation of the Traffic and Parking Commission and instructing the City Attorney to prepare the necessary resolution.

Mr. Arness advised Council that the low bid \�1 for construction of the asphalt concrete pavement and the concrete slab and footings (Schedule A) was received from Gary H. Drumm in the amount of $25,308 for one building site or $75,924 for three sites. The low bid for the construction of the 10 place steel T-hangar building (Schedule B) was received from Cummins Construction Co. of Yreka, California, in the amount of $64,031 for one building or $188,251 for three buildings. 57 Mr. Arness advised Council that $125,000 is budgeted in the 1978-79 fiscal year for construction of one T-hangar. The Airports Commission has sub- stantiated the need for three 10-place T-hangars and so recommends. Mr. Arness said that in order to construct the two additional T-hangars, it is requested that Council approve the project, which is estimated to cost an additional $193,000 (inclusive of three site preparations) for which no provision is made in the 1978-79 fiscal budget.
