At the hour of 8:00 P.M. , the meeting was reconvened. STATE DEPARTMENT,OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Councilwoman Gard made reference to a League of California Cities Legislative Bulletin dated March 23, 1979 covering, among other items, an issue per- taining to whether the State Department of Housing and Community Development has the authority to act in an "advisory" capacity, or whether, in fact, it can enforce "mandatory" state housing guidelines against the cities and counties of California. Mrs. Gard requested Council to authorize the Mayor to address the legislators in this regard believing that the referenced State Department should be acting in an advisory capacity only. Housing and Redevelopment Administrator Henson made reference to a letter addressed to the Department of Housing and Community Development in Sacramento from Mayor Stanley Grydyk of Richmond, California, dated March 9, 1979. He said it appears that the points in Mayor Grydyk's letter are valid and encouraged support of his stand. Mr. Henson feels the question is one of local control vs. State control. He said the State Department is attempting ...2,9 to take administrative action in dictating the content of city housing ele- ments and they do not have such authority. Mr. Henson believes it is a matter of policy for Council to attempt to retain local controls. He noted that the City of Redding is presently in the process of preparing such a housing element for study. Councilwoman Gard suggested that the Mayor be authorized to write a letter firmly supporting the position that the State Department of Housing and Community Development act in an advisory capacity and not be in a position which would allow mandatory enforcement of issues. Planning and Community Development Director Harris said that the State Plan- ning office has been instructed to issue guidelines whereby the State Depart- ment of Housing and Community Development will act in a capacity allowing mandatory enforcement of issues. Vice Mayor Fulton declared this matter an urgency item. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick author- izing the Mayor to send a letter to appropriate State officials firmly stating Council's position that it believes the State Department of Housing and Community Development should be acting in an advisory capacity only.

BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR At its meeting of March 19, 1979, Council considered the request of the American Red Cross to serve beer and wine in the park in conjunction with its salmon barbecue to be held on Sunday, April 29, 1979. Because of serious problems in the parks associated with drinking, Council postponed action on this request until its April 2, 1979 meeting, and requested City Attorney Murphy to prepare ordinances which would address this issue. 96 City Attorney Murphy said he had made two attempts at drafting the requested ordinances but had failed both times noting that some areas had not been perfected to his satisfaction. The proposed ordinances were removed from the final agenda and were not considered at the meeting this evening. Christine Perry, representing the American Red Cross, appeared before Council pointing out that the Parks and Recreation Commission has approved the request of the American Red Cross to serve beer and wine at its salmon barbecue in the park on April 29, 1979. She noted that the beer and wine will be included in the price of the meal ticket. Ms. Perry said they are waiting for some indication from Council as to what their next step should be. She said that the salmon will be shipped in from Alaska and must be ordered, the tickets must be printed, etc. , and they need to know what Council's feeling is on this request. Councilman Pugh said that the proposed ordinances would not become effective prior to this event and felt that Council should approve this request as an urgency measure.
