WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS -
Sara Frost and Eugene L. Nichols
In a communication to Council dated October 31, 1979, Sara
Frost and Eugene L. Nichols urged City help and cooperation
in establishing a street tree planting program commencing
with an "Arbor Day in November" planting party on November 24 ,
1979. Said program would include citizen participation and
establishment of a tree fund for contributions.
Edna Jolliff
In a separate communication to Council dated November 1, 1979 ,
Edna Jolliff submitted nine suggestions pertaining to tree q/(
planting in Redding.
Mayor Demsher briefly reviewed said memos stating that he favors
such a program however, suggested that the "Arbor Day" kick-
off event be held over until after the holidays.
Sara Frost said that the initial idea came about after she
had attended numerous meetings in which the lack of trees in
Redding was discussed. She concurred that holding the kick-off
event over until January was a good idea, but requested that
the City establish the fund right away so that donations could
be received and the donors could receive a tax deduction this
year.
Eugene Nichols added that he is anxious to get the program
started.
111 Councilwoman Gard said she is ecstatic about this concept and
supports it. She noted that there is a street tree list that
has been approved by the Public Works Department which the
Committee may wish to review.
Mayor Demsher requested that members of the Citizen Group
work with the City Manager, the Parks and Recreation Department,
and the Street Tree Committee on the details.
In answer to Mr. Nichols ' question regarding how to proceed,
the Mayor recommended that discussions regarding this matter
be held at the next meeting.

RESOLUTION - Establishing Electrical Utility Rate for Mobile HomeII
Parks
Electric Director Simpson read his memo to Council dated November 2 ,
1979 , which memo is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference.
Said memo set forth substantial historical background into the
problem of master metering mobile home parks and the subsequent
prohibition of same and its effects on park owners and tenants.
Mr. Simpson noted that prior to and following the annexation of
Enterprise, the City received calls from park owners requesting
assurance that tenants of master metered mobile home parks would
receive the same rates as individual residential customers. After
completion of the acquisition of the Enterprise facilities from PG&E
this fall, the City contacted WAPA and requested modification of the
power sales agreement to permit the City to recognize master metered
mobile home parks as resale customers. In early September, the City
received verbal assurance of its request and was advised that of-
ficial modifications would be forthcoming. The City proceeded on
the verbal assurance and developed the electrical rate and prepared
the resolution being considered this evening.
Mr. Simpson advised that the proposed rate is the residential rate
G established for individual customers served directly by the City
-C7"
with the exception that the master meter mobile home parks that
will utilize this rate will do so based on the number of spaces
wired to take electrical service. Thus, the master metered mobile
home park owner will receive exactly the same amount of revenue
from the tenants as he pays the City for the power the tenants
utilize. The prepared resolution prohibits the park owner from
charging individual tenants any more for their electricity than
the individuals would pay if they were being served directly by
the City.
Mr. Simpson stated that following preparation of his memo, official
notification was received from WAPA in the form of a telegram which
recognizes master metered mobile home parks as resale customers .
He noted that the confirming copy of said telegram is expected
tomorrow.
Ken Whitmire, 1670 Market Street, asked if any similar provision
is being considered for commercial buildings.
City Attorney Murphy replied that no change is proposed in any
other rates at this time.
ti Mr. Simpson said that the City has discouraged requests to install
master meters in commercial buildings. He pointed out that this
issue is not being considered tonight but needs to be discussed
at a later date. He indicated that the City desires to protect
its contracts for power noting that purchase for resale does notII
come easy.
Bob Hetzel, Owner, Country Club Estates Mobile Home Park, asked
if the rates had been determined.
Mr. Simpson responded that the proposed rate, which is the same as
the residential rate, is being submitted for Council consideration
this evening.

{

Mr. Hetzel advised Council that none of his tenants have paid
any electrical bills since August 1 when the City took over the
electric utilities in the Enterprise area. He questioned if the
resolution contained provision for reimbursement of fees retro- j
active to August 1.
Mr. Hetzel was advised that no provision was made and that the
resolution will become effective November 6, 1979.
Mrs. Hetzel advised Council that as proprietors of the park, they
have not billed any of their tenants for electricity and that
they (the Hetzels) have not paid the bill since August 1. She said
that some of the tenants are now faced with a three-month bill based
on commercial rates. She pointed out that many of their tenants
are on fixed incomes and simply cannot afford to pay the commercial
rate for electricity.
Mr. Hetzel substantiated his position for desiring the residential
rate by displaying various charts focusing on the additional costs
to their tenants for the months of August, September, and October
with commercial rates in effect. Also shown was a comparison of
City commercial rates vs . PG&E residential rates for the same months .
In response to an inquiry by Councilwoman Gard as to how many parks
in the City share this problem, Mr. Simpson replied that there are
between 10 and 15 experiencing this problem. He noted that it
would be difficult to give credit retroactive to a certain date
in view of the varied circumstances of each park and because of
the necessity to obtain authorization from WAPA.
City Attorney Murphy apprised Council that the commercial rate was
a lawful rate and that to go back retroactively would create some
problems with respect to establishing a retroactive date.
Councilman Fulton questioned the verbal authorization from WAPA
in September.
Mr. Simpson said that verbal authorization had been received in
September assuring the City that they intended to modify the
contract at which time the City began developing the rate schedule.
Councilman Kirkpatrick questioned why authorization for this modifi-
cation wasn' t requested some months prior to annexation.
Mr. Simpson replied that the City could have made this request
earlier; however, due to the other matters far more complex that
were being negotiated, it was felt that it was inappropriate to do
so at that time.
Mayor Demsher noted that the City had not been requested to make
these modifications until recently, possibly because some operators
of parks were making a profit on the rates being charged their
customers.
Mr. Simpson said the master meters have been an on-going problem
for years.
Mayor Demsher said the rate for electricity paid by the low income
and mobile home owners should be as low as any other residential
user. He did not feel, however, it would be wise for Council to
make a decision tonight on the question of payment of retroactive
fees.
{
342
r
Councilman Pugh pointed out that in the past, the WAPA contract
stipulated that whether or not a profit was involved on master
metering didn' t matter. He said the City has tried to steer away
from the problems hoping they could be worked out on an individual
basis without going to individual meters. He said the City is
remiss for the problems created. Pertaining to the question of
retroactive fees, Mr. Pugh said the legal aspects will have toII
be determined prior to making a decision.
Councilman Kirkpatrick said he didn' t believe Council could take
action that is illegal; however, the matter should be researched
to see if there is some remedy.

Clerk:
Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Continued Public Hearing
At its meeting of October 1, 1979, Council continued the
Continued Public Hearing regarding the subject assessment
district to a date uncertain in view of the majority of
land owners objecting to the costs involved.
In a memorandum to Council dated October 30, 1979, Bond
Counsel Sam Sperry recommended changes in the proceedings
for said district which result in increases in the amounts
of their respective assessments. Mr. Sperry said the
changes are necessitated, in his judgment, by the very
344
substantial changes in the municipal bond market during
the past three weeks. Said memo is on file in the office
of the City Clerk.
City Clerk Brayton apprised Council that the following
communications have been received pertaining to subject
assessment district:
Order to Show Cause, Preliminary Injunction
and Temporary Restraining Order filed by Helen
Faye Generes iii the Shasta County Superior Court
on October 26, 1979 re Adoption of Resolution
Awarding Bid for California-Market Street Storm
Drain Assessment District
Communication from Helen Faye Generes dated
November - 2 , 1979 requesting exclusion from the
proposed assessment district
Communication from Alfred A. and Rosemary Lykkeberg
dated November 5, 1979, withdrawing from the
assessment district due to prohibitive cost
Bond Counsel Sam Sperry appeared before Council and stated
that the objections received exceed 50% of the land area to
be assessed and constitute a majority protest; therefore,
Council may abandon the project and close the public hearing
or, with a 4/5 majority vote, overrule the protests and
proceed with the project. However, in light of the temporary
restraining order filed in Superior Court, Mr. Sperry recom-
mends that Council not close the hearing but continue it to
December 3, 1979.
City Attorney Murphy questioned if one other possibility
might be to close the public hearing and continue the matter
to a date uncertain and in the interim, hold staff discussions
with Bond Counsel.
Mr. Sperry said his advice to Council would be not to close
the public hearing, but rather continue it to 7 : 30 P.M. ,
December 3, 1979.

Kirkpatrick continuing the Public Hearing to December 3 ,

Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
his memo to Council dated October 30, 1979. He stated that
at its regular meeting of September 25, 1979 , the Planning
Commission unanimously recommended abandonment of a portion
of Ridge Road located between Doris Street and Interstate 5.
The area was depicted on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry advised
that the right of way was originally dedicated as part of the
Twin View Subdivision; however, when Interstate 5 was con-
structed, it went through the subdivision and Ridge Road was
cut off. If abandoned, the road would revert to the applicant,
who owns property on both sides of Interstate 5, and to the
State of California, who purchased adjoining lots within the
freeway right of way. The State is proposing to quit-claim to
Mr. Kravitz its interest in the 100 square feet that would
revert to the State.
It is the Planning Commission and staff recommendation that
the area be abandoned. If Council concurs , a resolution has
been prepared for consideration.

ie. , the speed at which 85% of the drivers are driving under
351
good conditions. This must be justified by engineering and
traffic surveys measuring speeds in the field.
It is the Committee recommendation that Council establish speed
zoning on various City streets in conformance with the recommend-
ation of the engineering and traffic surveys for those streets.
It is further recommended that, prior to adoption of any further
speed zoning, the public be made aware of the 85th percentile
concept.
Mayor Demsher said that although the committee doesn' t agree with
the 85th percentile concept, the City will have to comply with it.
Councilwoman Gard said the committee came to the conclusion that it
is bettertohave enforcement of something even though it disagrees
with the concept. She questioned whether motorists were complying
with the speeds posted on Shasta View Drive.
Ray Duryee, Engineering Technician from the Traffic Engineer' s
office, replied that the Police Department has not been enforcing
the posted speeds on Shasta View.
Public Works Director Arness asked if the City has recent studies
for Shasta View.
Mr. Duryee answered in the affirmative.
Mayor Demsher said the committee feels it is important for the
Police Department and other City Departments to get involved in
public relation communications with the public so they will under-
stand the concept better.
Councilwoman Gard noted that when a large volume of tickets are
written, a big percentage of them are issued to persons residing
in the immediate area.
Councilman Pugh affirmed that this had been the case on Placer
Street.
Council took no formal action on this matter.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - Quartz Hill Road Water District
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed his
staff memo to Council dated November 1, 1979 , and submitted to
Council copies of the Environmental Impact Report for Quartz
Hill Road Water District. Said report is for the proposed County
Quartz Hill Assessment District which will provide water to a
large area on both sides of Quartz Hill Road. Mr. Perry advised
that under the California Environmental Quality Act, and because
of the location outside the City, Shasta County is the lead agency
for this project; and the City of Redding is a responsible agency.
As proposed, the City of Redding would supply the water for the
district and would operate and maintain the system. Said district
consists of approximately 2000 acres and would serve a population
of approximately 260 persons. The district is located entirely
outside the City, but is contiguous to its western boundary north
of Quartz Hill Road.
In the referenced memo, six areas of concern were spelled out which
staff feels need additional discussion
Because the formation of this district will potentially induce
growth, it is the staff recommendation that the EIR be referred
to the Council Committee on Growth and to the Planning Commission.
353
Mr. Perry said he has talked with Larry Preston, representing Shasta
County, who has requested that the City submit its comments prior
to the end of November. t,
Councilwoman Gard noted that it has not been Council policy to
serve those areas outside the City.
Public Works Director Arness noted that Section 14 . 08 . 050 of the
Redding Municipal Code states that within the authorized water
service area set forth in that certain contract between the City
and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, water service connections may
be made beyond the city boundaries.
City Attorney Murphy said that some of the area within the assess-
ment district is already improved and that influence on growth
will be felt in that portion that is unimproved.
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Pugh
that the Environmental Impact Report for Quartz Hill Road Water
District be referred to the Council Committee on Growth and the
Planning Commission. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION - Roller Skating
RESOLUTION - Prohibiting and/or Limiting Roller Skating and Skate
Boarding in Certain Public Areas
In a communication to Council. dated October 26 , 1979 , the Parks
and Recreation Commission advised that at its October 24 , 1979
meeting the current interest in roller skating in the downtown
area was discussed. The Commission realizes the potential
problems skating may create, but supports this activity and
urges Council to designate feasible areas for this activity.
The Commission suggests the following as possible sites:
Civic Auditorium Parking Lot
Designated Areas in Caldwell Park
A lighted street blocked off in the Downtown Area
such as Oregon Street
Councilwoman Gard said she is in favor of considering the cul de
sacs in Caldwell Park for roller skating.
Councilman Pugh noted that skating isn' t prohibited in these
areas.
City Attorney Murphy advised that he has received a protest from
a lady who works on the night shift for Pacific Telephone per-
taining to designation of Parking Lot 3 for skating. The workers
have been frightened by the conduct of young people who are part
of the problem the City has had on Pine Street for years . They
ride motorcycles on the sidewalk and frighten these workers as they
leave work in the morning. This protester is now worried about
the conduct of the roller skaters in this regard.
Councilman Pugh said there should be very little conflict between
employees, vehicles and skaters between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. as
proposed in the resolution for certain parking lots.
John Dunlap, 1745 Yuba Street, requested a copy of the proposed
resolution, which was furnished to him.
City Attorney Murphy said he has strong sympathy towards the
skaters and favors giving them an area somewhere for skating.
Jeff Goodwin, 2732 Lanning Avenue, submitted sample roller skate
wheels to Council and pointed out various concerns of the skate
shop and skaters as follows:
1. Mini-Mall by Yogurt Shop should be open to skaters
to enter and leave the skate shop without being
penalized. He noted that the corridor in the Mini-
Mall is not publicly owned;
2. Lot 11 should be open to skaters;
3. When skaters use "wrap and walk" attachments on their
skates (to stop the wheels from rolling which allows
the skater to walk) , they should not be penalized;
4. Lack of ramp for skaters on Cypress Street Bridge;
356
5. Bad publicity in news media is giving roller skating
a bad image.
Mr. Goodwin agreed that liability is a problem for the City, but
questioned if posting signs prohibiting skating in certain areas
would relieve the City of the liability.
City Attorney Murphy replied in the negative, noting that if it
is common knowledge that the posting is not being enforced, the
I!, City remains liable.
Public Works Director Arness said that he is concerned with the.
Pine Street lot near Tehama Street, noting. that his job is to
avoid impacting traffic and what happens in the parking lots affect
the traffic.
In response to an inquiry as to whether the City has control over
the non-public areas in the Mall, City Attorney Murphy replied
that the City has control in the sense that the Downtown Merchants
and public must be required to abide by uniform rules under the
Downtown Urban Renewal Plan. He said it is very difficult for
a person who isn' t well acquainted with the Mall, such as some
of the skaters, to determine what is and isn' t a public area.
Council requested that Lot 3 be added to the Resolution under
Paragraph 1 as an area designated to be posted prohibiting roller
skating and skate boarding at all times .
MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard
that Resolution No. 79-222 be adopted, a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Redding designating certain public areas
to be posted against roller skating and skate boarding.
