He said that the items will require a supplemental appropriation and requested Council approval to place the items for bid. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick approving the aforestated request of the City Manager. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PROPOSED PURCHASE OF DATA PROCESSING EQUIPMENT Assistant City Manager Courtney reviewed his memorandum to Council dated March 14, 1979, which memo is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference, presenting a proposal for purchase of its IBM Systems 3 data processing equipment now under lease. He pointed out that since 1970, purchase credits have accrued which now make it possible for the City to own the equipment at a cost less than the amount that would be paid to IBM Corporation on a continued lease arrangement. Mr. Courtney submitted a list of equipment proposed to be purchased. He pointed out that the City's present lease cost for said equipment proposed to be purchased is $5,443 per month. This amount includes maintenance and applicable sales and use tax. The total lease cost for the next 22 months extended at the present rate is $119,746. The total amount which would be paid by the l/U City of Redding during the next 22 months, if the equipment is purchased, will be $115,270. This amount includes maintenance and applicable sales and use tax. Mr. Courtney said that since it is possible for the City to own this equipment at a cost less than the present lease rate, it is the recom- mendation of his Department that the City of Redding proceed with the purchase of this equipment and that the City Manager be authorized to sign the agreements required to accomplish this transaction. City Manager Brickwood gave his verbal endorsement to this proposed purchase. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard approving the aforestated recommendation of the Assistant City Manager. The Vote: Unani- mous Ayes ENGINEERING SERVICES CONTRACT - System Design of 12 KV Distribution System Electric Director Simpson requested approval of a proposed contract between the City of Redding and Earl W. Preston for professional engineering services to be performed prior to December 31, 1979, associated with circuit design Zq of the 12 KV system. Said contract is not to exceed $13,000 for which funds are budgeted. Councilman Fulton asked if it would be possible for staff to accomplish this work. Mr. Simpson replied that staff has the capability to do the work, but is limited as to time available. 76 MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Pugh approving the agreement between the City of Redding and Earl W. Preston pertaining to professional engineering services to be performed re circuit design of the 12 KV System, and authorizing the Mayor to sign said agreement on behalf of the City of Redding. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes CANBY ROAD TRAFFIC STUDY Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed his memo to Council dated March 13, 1979 stating that on January 23, 1979 the Planning Commission required the preparation of an environmental impact report for a proposed shopping center on Hilltop Drive and for the proposed extension of Churn Creek Road north from Mistletoe Lane to Highway 44. The road extension was depicted on the Vu Graph. The road extension will provide a 1)3second access to the shopping center and will provide future relief to traffic on Hilltop Drive. Mr. Harris noted that in order for staff to complete the EIR, it is essential to estimate the projected traffic volumes using this future crossing of Highway 44. It is the staff recommendation that Council authorize the employment of D. Jackson Faustman to prepare a transportation study, as outlined and submitted to Council, at a cost not to exceed $4500, and authorize the City Manager to execute a letter contract to this effect. After considerable discussion, it appeared to be the general consensus of Council and staff that a total traffic study update is needed, acknowledging that traffic is the major issue involved in new development. It was noted that the study performed in 1973 covered the core area only. Council Members and staff concurred with Mayor Demsher that the 1969 traffic study, which was prepared as part of the 1970 General Plan, has viability and needs to be reviewed to determine which areas followed the anticipated projections and which areas need updating, taking into consideration changes in land use, increased traffic flows, etc. He pointed out that the City is in need of a transportation plan for Council to adopt and be willing to enforce. Councilman Kirkpatrick noted that he is in favor of considering employment of a Traffic Coordinator whose responsibility it would be to oversee all areas of traffic throughout the City. Council Members concurred that the Canby Road study should be approved so that the project can go forward. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Pugh approving the contract between the City of Redding and D. Jackson Faustman as hereinbefore recommended by the Department of Planning and Community Development. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION - Dudley W. Thompson and Evelyn M. Thompson Planning and Community Development Director Harris advised Council that petitions from the owners of two contiguous parcels in the Enterprise area have been received requesting commencement of annexation proceedings. The two parcels, located on the south side of Lawncrest Road east of Victor Avenue, were shown on the Vu Graph. It is the staff recommendation that Council commence proceedings as an uninhabited annexation and that the two parcels on the south side of Victor Avenue to the west of the Thompsons' property also be included in the annexation. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick approving the staff recommendation. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes REZONING APPLICATION RZ-1-79 - by Murray Schmidt MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Pugh setting a public hearing for 7:30 P.M. , April 2, 1979, for consideration of Rezoning Application RZ-1-79, by Murray Schmidt. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes 77 PUBLIC HEARING - Redbanks Subdivision Assessment District No. 1977-5 The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Demsher opened the Public Hearing re Redbanks Subdivision Assessment District No. 1977-5.

Mr. Edwin N. Ness of Sturgis, Ness and Brunsell, City of Redding Bond Counsel, appeared before Council and noted that at the February 5, 1979 Council meeting, the Public Works Department was instructed to refine and substantiate costs as presented for work that has been completed in the Redbanks Subdivision Assessment District No. 1977-5. Mr. Arness said he has reviewed all of the contracts and is satisfied that the prices are fair and realistic. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Mr. Ness reviewed briefly the resolutions before Council this evening noting that the Resolution authorizing the In Rem Validation Proceedings presents each project individually to the Superior Court for a validation procedure in light of Proposition 13. Councilman Pugh asked if it was true that the Supreme Court refused jurisdiction to which Mr. Ness responded affirmatively. He pointed out that it has been sent to the District Court of Appeals and that ultimately this may remove the need for the In Rem Validation procedure. The following documents were submitted for adoption: Resolution - Approving Report and Assessment MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard that Resolution No. 79-50 be adopted, a resolution approving report and assessment and ordering improvements in Redbanks Subdivision Assessment District No. 1977-5, City of Redding, County of Shasta, California.

PUBLIC HEARING - Appeal of Tentative Map of Placer Hills Subdivision, Unit No. 3 Councilwoman Gard abstained from discussion and voting on this item. The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Demsher opened the Public Hearing re appeal of Tentative Map re Placer Hills Subdivision, Unit No. 3. 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 `AC\ Planning Commission Recommendation dated 3/15/79 a The City Clerk advised Council that no written protests had been received. Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed his memo to Council dated March 15, 1979, stating that through his attorney, Donald R. Kennedy, the developer of Placer Hills Subdivision, Unit No. 3, has appealed Conditions 18 and 19 of the 20 Conditions imposed by the Plan- ning Commission when it approved the Tentative Map on January 23, 1979. The area was shown on the Vu Graph. Condition No. 18 deals with park in-lieu fees, and Condition No. 19 requires a second access to Placer Street. Mr. Harris noted that staff is of the opinion that Planning Commission Condition No. 18 is reasonable. He pointed out that the Commission forgave the in-lieu park fees for the three lots that backed into the canyon area being dedicated to the City for open space. With respect to Condition No. 19, the Commission required the second access after receipt of a petition concerning the lack of a second access in Placer Hills and the level of traffic on Wisconsin. The Commission indicated that the roundabout access through the developer's property would offer little relief and indicated that the second access should be directly from Unit No. 3 to Placer Road as shown on the Tentative Map. It is the opinion of staff that the street extension will have to occur, but the question is, when? It should be noted that the City may have to use its power of eminent domain should the action of the Commission be upheld and the developer is unable to come to terms with the owners of property located between the subdivision and Placer Street. Mr. Harris said it is the recommendation of staff that the appeal of Condition No. 18 be denied and that the appeal of Condition No. 19 be upheld, with the stipulation that any further subdivision of this property must provide a second access to Placer Street. Councilman Pugh noted that when State-Wide submitted a master plan for this property, the City indicated a second access would be required. He questioned what density was proposed in that development. Deputy Plan- ' ning Director Perry replied that the proposal contained approximately 56 lots which were proposed for duplexes whereas this development has 15 single family lots. 79 Donald R. Kennedy, Attorney representing the developer, John M. Frank, stated that with reference to Condition No. 19, if Mr. Frank were required to locate the access road as required by the Planning Com- mission, he would be compelled to pay for acquisition of land and possible severance costs. He said that since staff isn't recommending a secondary access at this time, it would seem more appropriate for Mr. Frank to utilize his own property for access. Mr. Kennedy pointed out that the petition from the property owners to the north requesting a secondary access will subject Mr. Frank to unknown costs of acquisition which would be unfair. Mr. Kennedy advised Council that his client is abandoning appeal of Condition No. 18. Ms. M. Palm, 4128 Remington, supported the Planning Commission's decision and pointed out that the safety and welfare of the residents should be considered. She said that the 1978 summer fire in that area alarmed the residents and clearly pointed out the need for another access. Jerry Cordell, 2200 Wisconsin, explained his concern for being able to evacuate his family in the event of another fire. He said that the primary access became very congested with spectators during the recent fire and this concerns him. He feels the developer is capable of passing his additional costs for acquisition on to his clients and this is only a secondary concern when compared with the need for another access. He expressed concern with an additional 30-40 cars making daily trips on Wisconsin. He supports the Planning Commission's recommendation. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Councilwoman Gard abstaining Mr. Harris said there may be need for both accesses in the future but the timing is the issue. The Planning staff believes it is unreasonable to require a 15-lot subdivision to acquire and construct a second access across a neighbor's land based on the projected traffic increase of 150 cars per day on Wisconsin. He further stated that staff favors a direct route, not a circuitous route to Placer when the second access is con- structed. Councilman Pugh said he does not favor the proposal for the roundabout access through the developer's property believing that people will travel the most direct route. He added that if the City plans to acquire this roadway by the process of eminent domain, he recommends it be purchased now rather than waiting and being subject to higher acquisition prices in the future. Mr. Kennedy, on behalf of his client, advised Council that should the City participate in acquisition of the roadway to Placer Street, the developer will do the construction. MOTION: Councilman Fulton moved to delete the requirement for a second access at this time and at such time as further development is proposed, a condition of approval will be provision of the secondary access. The motion died for lack of a second. City Attorney Murphy pointed out that the City may not wish to designate the access location at this time. He suggested that perhaps it would be better to approve the access in a location suitable to the City. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick granting the appeal on Condition No. 19 with the stipulation that no further subdivision of the remainder of this property shall occur without � .._ 80 the provision of a second access to Placer Street in a location suitable to the City of Redding. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Councilwoman Gard abstaining Council took no action re Condition No. 18 as the applicant withdrew his appeal on said Condition. AMERICAN RED CROSS - Request to serve Beer and Wine in the Park Parks and Recreation Director Riley reviewed the Parks and Recreation Com- mission memo to Council dated March 9, 1979, regarding the request from the American Red Cross, Shasta Area Chapter, to serve beer and wine in the park in conjunction with their salmon barbecue on Sunday, April 29, 1979. The Commission reluctantly approved this request in light of Council policy in the past in which approval has been granted to groups with similar requests. The Commission opposes the use of alcohol in the parks and feels that re- stricting its consumption in the parks is a prerequisite in returning the parks to a safe, clean and pleasant place of recreation for all citizens. In reply to an inquiry from the Mayor pertaining to how long it takes an organization to obtain the license for serving alcoholic beverages, the City Clerk responded that they can get it immediately after Council approval. Mayor Demsher said that historically Council hasn't had problems when approving this type of request; however, serious problems in the park are associated with drinking. He stated that he had driven through the park twice today, noting that it is not a weekend, and would not have wanted to have been there with his family. He noted that problems related to drinking in the park are at a critical crisis level and Council must take positive action to eliminate this problem. He said that Council is looking into drafting an ordinance which would control drinking in the park system. He pointed out that it is not equitable for citizens to pay tax money for added police protection and still not be able to feel comfortable about enjoying the parks with their families. Mayor Demsher suggested postponing action on this request until the April 2, 1979 meeting. With the concurrence of other Council Members, Mayor Demsher requested the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance which would address this issue. Councilman Fulton said such an ordinance might be difficult to enforce and be discriminatory. He favors establishment of a committee to look into various ground rules which would offer more flexibility. Councilman Pugh noted that the Police have no authority without an ordinance and that the area must be posted. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that action on the request of the American Red Cross as hereinbefore referenced be postponed until the April 2, 1979 Council meeting. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes City Attorney Murphy requested input from Council Members prior to drafting the requested ordinance. City Manager Brickwood suggested that the Committee, which discussed the matter previously, be reconvened to study this issue. He feels that there needs to be more exchange of ideas, etc. , and consultation with the Police Chief and staff prior to preparation of the ordinance. Council will reconsider this issue at its April 2, 1979 meeting. BECHELLI LANE AND HARTNELL AVENUE - Temporary 4-Way Stop Control Traffic Engineer Hamilton advised Council that at its regular session on March 12, 1979, the Traffic and Parking Commission considered the staff proposal to install a temporary 4-way stop control at the intersection of 1 81 Bechelli Lane and Hartnell Avenue until a full traffic signal installation can be installed later this summer. Mr. Hamilton said the Commission con- curs with the proposal and voted to so recommend to Council. Councilman Kirkpatrick suggested that rather than installing a temporary 4-way stop control, he favors extending the south-bound left-turn lane on Bechelli and installation of a stop sign for motorists turning left onto Hartnell. It is his belief that to stop all north-bound and south-bound traffic at Bechelli Lane and Hartnell, where motorists are not accustomed to stopping, could result in accidents involving rear-ending. He further suggested extending the acceleration lane on Bechelli for motorists turning south off of Hartnell. Council requested that the Traffic Engineer study the proposal and place it on the April 2, 1979 agenda for reconsideration. AWARD OF BID - Construction of Landfill Fence, Tree Screen, and Drip Irrigation System MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Fulton that Council makes the following findings regarding Bid Schedule No. 1083, by the City of Redding, proposing to modify the grade of the existing sanitary landfill, located west of Benton Airpark, and south of South Street: 1.

Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memo to Council dated March 14, 1979 summarizing the proposals received for attendant service at the City of Redding landfill. Mr. Arness said that after a 'complete check of character references, it is the recommendation of the Department of Public Works that the proposal of A.R.K. Security Plus be accepted and that the City Manager be authorized to sign the contract. Councilman Fulton noted that A.R.K. is out of Sacramento and questioned why the City did not utilize local firms. Mr. Arness replied that A.R.K. meets the requirements of the City and that he cannot recommend rejection of this bid, which is the low bid. City Attorney Murphy pointed out that A.R.K. is State bonded and licensed and meets all of the requirements of the City. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilwoman Gard approving the agreement between the City of Redding and A.R.K. Security Plus, Inc. for services at the City landfill, and authorizing the City Manager to execute same on behalf of the City. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Councilman Pugh abstaining.
