Mr. Sperry explained why he is recommending that the following be adopted: (1) Resolution concerning foreclosure of delinquent assessment liens. He noted that this is a standard procedure with respect to the 1915 Improvement Bond Act. This provides that if any installments of the principal or interest of any assessment levied becomes delinquent, the City will initiate foreclosure proceedings no later than September 1 following the date of delinquency. This assures the bondholders that the City will act quickly to minimize the periods of delinquency which could result in delays in payment of principal -or interest-to bondholders .

Mr. Sperry noted that because of the small amount involved, the bonds are to be sold on a negotiated basis and the firm of Stone and Youngberg was solicited to purchase the bonds , in an amount not to exceed $27 ,000 . A letter of commit- ment from this firm, dated August 16 , 1979 , presents their proposal . Councilman Pugh asked if there were any questions on the legality of the negotiations .

OLD CITY HALL - Interim Report The Council Subcommittee, consisting of Mayor Demsher and Council- woman Gard, completed its review of the potential uses for Old City Hall and submitted same in a memo to Council dated August 13 , 1979 , along with restoration plans prepared by the firm of Schaefer i's and Wirth. Said memo and attachments are hereby made a part of (;Th these minutes by reference. The cost estimates prepared by the Architect are based on three phases of construction as follows : Structural Rehabilitation $135, 000 Exterior Restoration 47, 000 Interior Remodeling $97 , 000 - 118 , 000 Total Cost of Construction $279 , 000 - 300 , 000 _ _ ._ .. .._ _ .. __. ____... -.i ._ .__.._.n -...__..A.._... R .. 223 The Committee reported that it is the opinion of the appraiser, Robert Shaw, that the market value of the building and land is $100 , 000 . Mr. Shaw has stated that, exclusive of public use, the highest and best use of the building is for professional offices . This conclusion is based on the physical limitations of the building, parking requirements , and restoration costs . Since the total cost of restoration will exceed $300 , 000, it is the opinion of the Committee that restoration for public use may not be feasible. Instead, the City could assume the cost of the exterior restoration and structural rehabilitation ($182 , 000) and this would put the building in a condition so it could be leased with the stipulation that the interior remodeling cost would be the responsibility of the tenant. It is the opinion of the Committee that the City consider allo- cation of the $182, 000 for structural rehabilitation and resto- ration. In addition to the potential $50, 000 grant award from the office of Historic Preservation, additional funding sources should be investigated. The Committee will review these sources and report the findings to Council before a formal recommendation is submitted. Mayor Demsher and Councilwoman Gard felt that the City should maintain ownership of the building because of its historical importance to the community and that it should be restored and preserved. Both Council Members concurred that they would prefer that the building be used for some type of public use; however, after looking at the financial picture, agreed that giving the private sector an opportunity to assist in its rehabilitation also appears to be a reasonable approach. Mrs. Gard noted that possibly some service organization such as the Rotary Club might wish to assist in the funding for development of the park which will be located adjacent to the building. Councilman Pugh said he felt the Committee was proceeding in the right direction and noted that ultimately it will be up to the community to determine the final use of the building. Council took no formal action on this matter. AWARD OF BID - 2500 KVA Transformer MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard approving the recommendation of the City Manager -that Bid Schedule No. 1115, 2500 KVA Transformer, be awarded to Balteau Standard, Inc. on their low bid in the amount of $12 , 990 . 30, ? �� 3 sales tax included.

Mr. Courtney stated that since approximately 80% of the emergency calls originate within the City of Redding, it is important to the City that some way be found to continue this essential service. Mr. Courtney advised that on June 1, 1979, the Northern California Emergency Medical Care Council requested proposals for the consolidation of its Medical Communication Center (Med-Com) with an existing or proposed future communication center. On June 26 , 1979 , the City of Redding submitted a preliminary proposal. A copy of said proposal was submitted to Council Members . The proposal provided for the employment of four dispatchers who are now the employees of Med-Com during the 1979-80 fiscal year and offered the continued employment of three Med-Com dispatchers in the 1980-81 fiscal year with the understanding that the total number of City dispatchers (police, fire and medical service) may be changed in accordance with the needs of the service as determined by the City. Mr. Courtney advised that on Saturday, July 14 , 1979 , the Northern California Medical Care Council Executive Committee and Board of Directors considered the alternative proposals and authorized the consolidation proposed by the City of Redding. Mr. Courtney said the City has delayed filling one Public Safety Dispatcher position vacancy, and now requests authorization to employ all of the five full-time Med-Com dispatchers plus one part-time dispatcher effective September 1, 1979 . It is estimated that the additional personnel cost during the 1979-80 fiscal year will be approximately $54, 000 . He noted that the turnover rate is relatively high with dispatching personnel, and that the City anticipates being back to a normal complement of personnel no later than the end of the second year of consolidation. Mr. Courtney recommended that formal approval be given to this consolidation to be effective September 1, 1979 , and requested authorization to negotiate new agreements with the Shasta County Ambulance Society, the County of Shasta and other counties for which service may be provided outside the boundaries of the City.

Mr. Simpson advised Council that the City has received a Preliminary Permit which requires that the City perform certain functions prior to receiving a final license for the construction of the proposed Lake Redding Power Project. Mr. Simpson said it is the recommendation of his Department that Council approve a Contract between the City and CH2M Hill in the amount of $25, 000 for engineering services to initiate procedures and establish studies which are necessary for the City to apply for the final license, and authorize the Mayor to sign same. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick approving the aforestated recommendation and authorizing the Mayor to sign same.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - Acquisition of Property for Extension of Clear Zones at Redding Municipal Airport The hour of 7 : 30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Demsher opened the Public Hearing re Acquisition of the Free Will Baptist Church property for extension of clear zones at Redding Municipal Airport. The following documents are on file in the office of the ll �� City Clerk: Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing 3-.)0 Planning Commission Recommendation dated August 16 , 1979 The Deputy City Clerk advised Council that a communication dated July 28, 1979, had been received from Rev. M. Gaggia, Pastor of the Airport Free Will Baptist Church expressing his desire to speak at the public hearing on behalf of his Board of Trustees. Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed his memo to Council dated August 16 , 1979 . He stated that _ _� -. ••S ..�N_... v..-.... - � - _. _. i.�_ .nom nnS" .- .�.... If! .. - _. _ __� _ � .. �._ _ _. _ _ 228 at its regular meeting of August 14, 1979 , the Planning Commission unanimously recommended acquisition by the City of 2. 4 acres of land located at 4050 Fig Tree Lane. The area was depicted on the Vu Graph. A copy of the draft negative declaration was submitted to Council Members . Mr. Harris advised Council that the property is located within the extended approach of Runway 34L and is within the 1995 projected noise contour of 65 CNEL for the Municipal Airport. Mr. Harris said that it is the opinion of the Planning Com- mission that the property should be acquired for extension of the approach zone. City Attorney Murphy advised Council that this condemnation proceeding is being recommended in order to acquire land from the Free Will Baptist Church within the approach zone to the airport. He noted that the Airport Commission and Manager feel that this land is necessary to protect the airport runway landing area and the Federal Government will make a contribution toward the acquisition. Rev. Mike Gaggia, 4084 Lassen View Lane, said that he was speaking on behalf of his church membership. He said that when the church located on Fig Tree Lane in 1973 , the Pastor at that time was aware of the fact that there might be a swap of the 60 ft. City easement on their parcel lying west of the church building, with a 60 ft. right of way on the east boundary of their parcel. He noted that because of this, the septic tank was located north of the building so that it would not interfere with this anticipated land swap. He said that this cloud of uncertainty as to when this would transpire has hindered the church from expansion. Rev. Gaggia noted that the Church Board of Trustees had made the decision to sell the church facility and move to another location. They contacted a realtor and discussed a market price of $75, 000 for the church and land. He noted that simultaneously, Mr. Wiley Davis , an appraiser for the City, approached them with an offer from the City and they did not go ahead with placing the facility on the market as they had discussed with their realtor. Rev. Gaggia said that the price of $42, 200 offered them by the City is not sufficient for them to purchase land and build a new facility. Rev. Gaggia requested that Council not pass the resolution before them. Councilman Kirkpatrick asked for additional clarification on the right of way exchange. City Attorney Murphy said that at one time, the City felt that all it would need would be the 60 ft. easement area lying in the center of the church parcel for access to City property to the north. He said that exchange of this 60 ft. easement for a 60 ft. right of way on the east boundary of their parcel had been discussed at one time. He pointed out that now it is the thinking of the Airport Commission and Airport Manager that the entire parcel is needed because of the rapid growth of the area and larger aircraft usage. Mr. Murphy advised Council that the resolution does not fix the price for the church property and if they are dissatisfied with the price, the City can request another appraisal. He pointed out that the price will ultimately be determined ,11 229 by the Court if negotiations cannot be reached with the Church. He said that the fair market value of the property should be paid to the Church. Mr. Murphy recommended that Council adopt the resolution which will begin the proceedings and assure the Pastor that we are not locked into a figure at this time. Councilman Kirkpatrick pointed out to Rev. Gaggia that he feels the City would be doing the Church a disservice by not making a positive decision to go ahead with this acquisition at this time. He said that it would be more difficult' for the Church to relocate when further improve- ments have been made to their facilities . Rev. Gaggia said that they would like the opportunity to place the facility on the open market for a better price. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Pugh that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman Pugh that Resolution No. 79-151 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding finding that the public convenience and necessity require the acquisition of fee title to a certain parcel of real property for a public improvement, to wit, the extension of clear zones at Redding Municipal Airport.

The following documents are on file in the office of the /L/L1 City Clerk: Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendation dated August 15, 1979 Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed his memo to Council dated August 15, 1979 , which memo is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference. Mr. Harris advised that on July 10, 1979 , the- Planning Commission con- ducted a public hearing on Rezoning Application RZ-6-79 and at the conclusion of the hearing, recommended rezoning the area as illustrated on Exhibit "D" attached to said memo dated August -15, 1979 . The property is located west of Railroad Avenue and south of Grandview Avenue. The area was shown on the Vu Graph. _. ..._ .. 230 Mr. Harris advised that the recently adopted Panorama- Buenaventura Neighborhood Plan classifies the area into five categories: "Retail, " "Six-Unit-Per-Acre Residential, " "Three-Unit-Per-Acre Residential, " "Industrial, " and "Green- way. " The "Greenway" designation did not reflect several buildable sites next to the substation. The area that is encumbered by Pacific Gas and Electric Company distribution lines is classified as "General Industry. " Mr. Harris advised that the land use consists of single- family homes along Grandview Avenue and scattered single- family along Railroad Avenue. At the intersection of Rail- road and Grandview are several neighborhood-commercial businesses . The commercial building along Railroad Avenue is a nonconforming use. To the west is the electric sub- station, and to the east is Railroad Avenue and the Southern Pacific Company mainline. ► It is the recommendation of the Commission and staff that the area be zoned "R1-Bl " "C-1-F, " "RM-6 , " and "U-F, " as depicted on Exhibit "D, " with the site-plan-review criteria to stipulate the following: "C-1-F" Area" 1. Ten percent of the gross site area is to be landscaped, with planter to be provided along the back of the sidewalk. 2. Minimum front-yard setback is to be 15 feet. 3 . Underground utilities . 4. Properties are to be limited to one driveway on Railroad Avenue. 5. Six-foot high, block-post-with-wood insert fence is to be constructed adjacent to any residential district. "U-F" Area: 1. Area is not to be used to determine density. If Council concurs in this recommendation, it is suggested that the negative declaration be ratified, the rezoning approved, and the prepared ordinance be offered for first reading. Councilwoman Gard noted that the RM-6 area along Railroad Avenue will require some type of a buffer. She questioned if a masonry wall would be adequate. Mr. Harris replied in the negative. He pointed out that the land use next to Railroad Avenue will be a problem. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that the Public Hearing be closed.

He stated that in regular session on August 13 , 1979 , the Traffic and Parking Commission voted unanimously to recommend to Council that westbound vehicles on South Bonnyview Road turning right onto Eastside Road be required to yield to traffic on Eastside Road. Council was advised that the Police Department concurs with l/3jk this recommendation. Mr. Hamilton added that this intersection has reached the traffic level predicted for 1985. He said that it isn' t practical to signalize the intersection at its present location, but ultimately land will have to be acquired to moveit to the east for signal- ization and a stacking lane.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PARKING STALL FOR DISABLED - Yuba Street Traffic Engineer Hamilton reviewed his memo to Council dated August 15, 1979 . He stated that in regular session on August 13 , 1979 , the Traffic and Parking Commission considered a request to establish a parking stall for the disabled in front of Carl McConnell ' s building at 1555 East Street. The Commission decided against the East Street location because of traffic conditions and the lack of a ramp through the curb, but voted unanimously to recommend to Council that the first parking space on the north \\-) side of Yuba Street, east of East Street, be reserved and marked for use by disabled persons. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick approving the recommendation and instructing the City Attorney to prepare the necessary resolution. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes SPEED ZONING - Various City Streets Traffic Engineer Hamilton reviewed his memo to Council dated August 15, 1979 . He said that in regular session on August 13 , 1979 , the Traffic and Parking Commission considered the Engineering and Traffic Surveys and the recommendations for speed zoning on nine different streets in the City - namely, Bechelli Lane, Churn Creek Road, Court Street, Cypress Avenue , Hartnell Avenue, Lake Boulevard, Oasis Road, Railroad Avenue, and South Bonnyview Road. Objections to the proposed zoning on Oasis Road were heard from a resident on Oasis Road, and objections to the proposed zoning on South Bonnyview Road were expressed in a petition from residents on Reno Lane, copies of which were submitted to Council. Mr. Hamilton said that at a meeting attended by Police Sergeant Blankenship, Judge Redmon, Skip Tescher of the District Attorney ' s office, and himself, it was determined that speed limits are not enforceable with radar unless the posted limits agree with the determination of the Engineering and Traffic Surveys . He noted that many of the traffic surveys were made in 1974 , but the zones have to be updated every 5 years . He said that the recommendations are based on the 85th percentile and most of the observed speeds are in a 10-mile range under that percentile. After discussion, the Traffic and Parking Commission voted unanimously to recommend to Council that speed zoning be established in conformance with _ T 233 J]1 the Engineering and Traffic Surveys as outlined in Mr. Hamilton 's memo to Council which is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference. Mr. Hamilton noted that Jim Wyatt of the District Attorney ' s office is present and may wish to speak. Mayor Demsher said he recalls a previous discussion pertaining to legislation which would abolish the concept of adjudicating traffic cases when they get to court. He adamantly feels that Council is getting forced into a position that it really doesn ' t want to be in and that judges are also put into that same position. He noted that when some motorist' s bad habits, such as driving at excessive speeds, dictate the prevailing rate of speed, it is against his better judgment to invoke those limits. Traffic Engineer Hamilton said he wasn' t aware of such legislation. City Attorney Murphy said he could research the matter with the League. Councilwoman Gard said that if the City doesn' t follow this procedure, it is faced with an unenforceable situation. She noted that it is faced with two particular alternatives and the other alternative may be worse. She noted that there may be drivers who are violating the 85th percentile on the excessive side. Mrs . Gard also noted that if speed zones are established according to the 85th percentile and adequate enforcement follows , repeat studies should be done to determine what transpires . Mr. Hamilton replied that such studies have been done on several streets. He noted that Placer Street is posted 35 mph in one area and 45 mph in another. The 35 mph zone has worked out; however, drivers are not complying with the 45 mph zone, but are traveling 50-52 mph. He noted that their driving habits have not changed because of the posting. Mr. Hamilton said that Lake Boulevard is posted 45 mph out to the City limits. From St. Marks west, a change to 50 mph is recommended. He noted that the drivers are traveling at these rates of speed now, as they have been for the past four years . Considerable discussion ensued pertaining to speed zones on other streets . The following persons spoke regarding the recommended speed zones for various streets : Vi Klaseen, 595 Mary Street Mrs . Klaseen strongly opposed an increase of the speed limit on Lake Boulevard. She said she travels that street by Moped and the vacuum caused by the garbage trucks at the present rate of speed is quite serious. Mrs. Klaseen said that possibly the entire approach to the traffic on Lake Boulevard should be revised. She suggested reverting it back to two lanes of traffic with the other two lanes to be used for bicycles and foot traffic. She suggested that possibly the entire concept for traffic throughout the entire City could be 234 reconsidered. She favors developing a policy of decreasing the driving lanes and making provision for walking and bicycle lanes. She believes this would slow the traffic down. Sue Kowalewski, 3731 Poinsetta Avenue Mrs . Kowalewski opposed the increase of the_speed limit for Lake Boulevard. She noted that establishing a 50 mph speed limit, which is only 5 mph less than Interstate 5 does not appear to be realistic. Ted Dell, 4400 Bechelli Lane Mr. Dell objected to the proposed increase of speed for Bechelli Lane to 50 mph. He noted that drivers could travel at 50 mph for approximately 1/2 mile and then enter a 25 mph zone approaching a signal. He pointed out that there are joggers and bicyclers in this area and that increasing the speed limit to 50 mph seems excessive. Mr. Hamilton noted that modifications could be made to the recom- mendations ; however, feels that conditions apparent to individual drivers may not be reason enough to alter the speed recommendations . City Attorney Murphy noted that this issue is one with very strong pro and con views and Council may wish to postpone consideration until all members are present. Councilman Kirkpatrick said he did not feel this matter should be postponed indefinitely. Mr. Hamilton pointed out that the radar program cannot function efficiently without established speed zones . With the concurrence of other Council Members , Mayor Demsher held this matter over for consideration at a later meeting. AGREEMENT - Terminal ADAP Project No. 6-06-0194-07, Phase One and Phase Two Airports Manager McCall reviewed his memo to Council dated August 15, 1979 . Copies of the Agreement between CH2M Hill and the City of Redding for the Terminal ADAP Project No. 6-06-0194-07 , Phase One and Phase Two were submitted to Council. Mr. McCall advised Council that on September 5, 1978 , .V�� the City of Redding and Smart and Clabaugh entered into an agreement hiring CH2M Hill to provide site work design and specifications to the maximum amount of $55, 350 . CH2M Hill was actually retained by Smart and Clabaugh to provide this work. Mr. McCall advised that the Terminal Project work has been further expanded as follows: 1. To design and coordinate with utility companies and FAA for the relocation of power to the TVOR to clear the aircraft parking apron. 2. Prepare contract documents , estimates , and engineering reports and submit for FAA approval. 3. Further design of the concrete aircraft parking area. L _ 235 4 . Print all plans and specifications and distribute documents to contractors and minority bidders . 5. Act as coordinator in evaluating bids and recommendations for award and coordinate submittal to FAA. Phase One design total will be $82 , 500 (Reference Phase One of the Agreement) . Phase Two pertaining to new requirements covers construction and inspection and provides administration after construction commences . The total cost for Phase Two will be $65, 650 (Reference Phase Two of the Agreement) . Mr. McCall noted that the cost of the project is eligible for ADAP participation for 80 . 59 percent of the total cost. He said that FAA has suggested that Phase One and Phase Two be consolidated into one agreement between CH2M Hill and the City. He noted that the prepared agreement has been approved by FAA by letter to the City dated August 13, 1979 . Mr. McCall concurs with FAA and requests favorable approval of the agreement by Council. City Attorney Murphy advised that the existing contract between Smart and Clabaugh and the City will be cancelled as of the present date. The work will be provided by CH2M Hill, as a subcontractor, and will be incorporated in a new contract which will add amendments to Phase 1 as well as • add .Phase 2 to the engineering portion of the contract. Councilwoman Gard questioned whether Smart and Clabaugh were in agreement with said cancellation of their agreement. Mr. McCall responded in the affirmative. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilwoman Gard approving the aforestated recommendation as outlined by the Airports Manager and authorizing the Mayor to sign same. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes JOINT WATER FACILITIES PLAN At the August 6, 1979 Council meeting, copies of the Joint Water Facilities Plan prepared by W.A. Gelonek and Affiliates for the Shasta Dam Area Public Utilities District, City of Redding, Bureau of Reclamation, and the Shasta County Department of Water Resources were distributed to Council Members for their perusal prior to the Council meeting this evening. Public Works Director Arness stated that the referenced Joint 3 3 Water Facilities Plan would involve the City, the Shasta Dam Area Public Utilities District, Summit City Public Utilities District, and the County of Shasta in a joint water study for the area lying south of Shasta Dam which includes the City ' s northern Buckeye service area. The report recommends a joint program of water treatment and transmission line construction to serve this area. Mr. Arness said that the City ' s contract with the Bureau of Reclamation for water expires in the year 2009; however, that portion of the contract which covers the provision of water from Shasta Dam expires in 1988 . It is the recommendation of the Department of Public Works that Council accept the report, direct the staff to evaluate the 236 economics of a joint water treatment plant as suggested by the report, and review potential costs and quantity limitations with the U. S . Bureau of Reclamation. Mr. Arness said that W.A. Gelonek, Principal Engineer, and Richard Olson, Project Engineer, for W. A. Gelonek and Affiliates , and Michael Kenny, General Manager of the Shasta Dam Area Public Utilities District, are present this evening and may wish to address Council. Richard Olson, W. A. Gelonek and Affiliates , appeared before Council and stated that various plans through the years have contributed to orderly improvements and extensions of water service including a successful City bond election in November, 1978 for an enlarged filtration plant. Said plans and the successful bond election provided a comprehensive basis for improvements by other water operators in the Redding area. It was noted, however, that the Central Valley community north of Redding has not been included in any water study on a detailed basis. A planning study completed in February, 1978, forecast capacity limitations at key points in the distribution system. This study also revealed the interdependence of the water purveyors in the general area by reason of the common source of water - the Bureau of Reclamation' s facilities which include pumps at Shasta Dam, storage, and a transmission line, and a distribution vault in Summit City. Mr. Olson said that this information, coupled with the Bureau of Reclamation water contract which expires in 1988 , has led the water operators to jointly develop a water plan for the entire area north of the Redding city limits . Accordingly, an agreement was made in May, 1978, by the cooperating agencies to investigate methods , costs , and funding of water treatment, delivery and storage facilities to meet the projected increased water demands in the service area. Mr. Olson apprised Council that the report before them is the result of that agreement. Said report is designed to develop a water plan for the area for the next 25 years and is intended .to be used by the various public agencies either individually or collectively to develop the needs for supplying water. Mr. Olson said that it is the recommendation of the Shasta Dam Area Public Utilities District that a joint facility be constructed and that the cooperators formulate a plan to purchase water for the next 25 years , and develop the following basic areas on a joint basis : fj 1. Water treatment facility; 2. Major transmission line down Lake Boulevard to approximately Ashby Road; 3 . Obtain water . transmission from the face of the Dam to the proposed treatment facility. Mr. Olson apprised Council that the points of concern are listed on Table 8, Page 62 of the referenced Joint Water Facilities Engineering Study. He pointed out that there are various ways the finances could be arranged such as: 1. The District would be solely responsible for financing the project based upon long-term contracts L _ 237 for future purchase of water; said contracts to be negotiated with appropriate staff members of interested entities; 2. The City could participate in operation and maintenance on an annual basis. Councilwoman Gard noted that the growth rate of 3 - 3-1/2 per cent had been used in the study and noted that she believes it is greater than that. Mr. Olson said that rate applies to the Shasta Dam Area Public Utilities District only. Councilwoman Gard asked if the $3300 connection fee referred to in the report would be susceptible to legal attack. City Attorney Murphy replied that no appellate court decision is available to use as a basis for answering that. Mr. Olson commented that the figure of $3300 is for the District only and includes services for sewers , electricity and parks as well as water, and in no way has it been implied that the fee would be passed on to the City. Councilwoman Gard questioned what would happen if the City were to enter a joint agreement and then the District suffers severe financial hardship. Mr. Michael Kenny, General Manager of the Shasta Dam Area Public Utilities District, replied that they, of course, do not anticipate that type of hardship, but pointed out that the District does need funding to be able to move forward with this project. He said they are seeking loans and grants, etc. , and are hoping that the City will endorse the Plan. He pointed out that the connection charge referred to is an up-front charge and the money derived from it will be used as the project moves along. Mr. Kenny submitted a letter to Council from Robert K. Sullivan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Shasta Dam Area Public Utilities District, dated August 20, 1979, urging the City to give the proposal its favorable support. Said letter is on file in the office of the City Clerk. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Council- woman Gard accepting the Joint Water Facilities Report and directing the staff to evaluate and review the economics , potential costs , and quantity limitations, as recommended by the Department of Public Works .

He stated that on June 4, 1979, the City entered into a contract with Shasta Painting Co. , Inc. to sandblast and paint the Foothill tanks. Subsequent to completing the sand- blasting, residents of the area contacted the City and requested that the tanks be left in their sandblasted status . A property owner canvassed the area and submitted an informal list of signa- tures of residents near the tank who prefer that the tanks not be painted. Mr. Arness said that as a result of the interest displayed in this matter by the neighborhood, it is the staff recommendation that the tanks not be painted and that the contract be considered completed. He stated that the final contract price, based on Contract Change Order No. 1 to eliminate the painting, is $4 , 912. 82. It is the staff recommendation that the contract be accepted as being completed satisfactorily and instructing the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion.

REVENUES FOR ALCOHOLIC REHABILITATION - Legislation City Attorney Murphy reviewed his memo to Council dated August 10, 111 1979 . He stated that at the August 6, 1979 , Council meeting, a communication was received from the Empire Hotel Alcoholic Rehabilitation Center and the Phoenix House urging Council support ,_-)K7 of enabling legislation calling for fees to be added to fines for alcohol-related offenses which would go toward the support of alcoholic rehabilitation in Shasta County. n _. 240 Mr. Murphy said that present law does not permit the levying of an additional fee for citations for driving under the influence of alcohol or being drunk in a -public place, so enabling legislation is necessary if Council wishes to generate revenue by this means to support alcoholic rehabilitation pro- grams. Mr. Murphy noted that such legislation would normally be designed to be applicable statewide, and the proceeds would normally have to go to a State operated or local government operated alcoholic rehabilitation program. Mr. Murphy said that if Council desires to pursue mechanisms to support rehabilitation of this type, it is suggested that staff be authorized and instructed to pursue this matter with the office of Assemblyman Stan Statham or State Senator Ray Johnson. Mr. Murphy said that the proposed resolution submitted by the Empire Hotel and Phoenix House raises several legal questions, but none that are insurmountable.

ABATEMENT OF PROPERTY - 2832 Fairway Avenue At its meeting of August 6 , 1979 , Council held the matter of abatement of the Chamber' s property at 2832 Fairway Avenue over pending research by the City Attorney of the method of abatement / recommended by the Board of Appeals . 2` City Attorney Murphy reviewed his memo to Council dated. August 17 , 1979, which memo is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference. He stated that the Board of Appeals. has_. recommended that the house on the Chambers property be abated by rehabilitation and that the costs of abatement, if not paid by the owner, be placed as a lien on the property. Mr. Murphy said that this procedure is lawful in the City; however, this is the first time it has been invoked by the City. 241 Mr. Murphy said it is recommended that Council not establish a precedent by following this recommendationbecause of the potential ramifications this policy would cause if applied uniformly throughout the City to all homes that contain serious violations of the Uniform Building Code and the Uniform Housing Code. If this procedure is invoked at this time, it is the opinion of the Planning Director and the City Attorney that Council must be prepared to provide it in subsequent similar abatement proceedings . Mr. Murphy pointed out that if a property owner can tell the Board of Appeals that he cannot afford to rehabilitate his property, and then request that the City rehabilitate it and place the cost thereof on the tax roll as a lien against the property, he is , in effect borrowing money from the City at almost half the interest rate he would pay for similar money from a bank or savings and loan. Mr. Murphy said that Council may wish to refer this matter back to the Board of Appeals suggesting abatement by demolition. He pointed out that the condition at 2832 Fairway Avenue is deteriorating as vandals have broken windows and damaged the sheetrock. Mayor Demsher said he concurs with the recommendation of the City Attorney. Councilwoman Gard asked what experiences other cities have had with abatement by rehabilitation. Mr. Murphy replied that he had not made such a survey. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilwoman Gard referring the report and findings of the Board of Appeals for abatement by rehabilitation of property at 2832 Fairway Avenue back to said body advising that the City does not wish to abate this property by rehabilitation.
