See Page 23 for further information regarding development fees. Rufus Knapp re Development Fees Council reviewed the communication from Rufus Knapp supporting the proposed development fees. See Page 23 for further information regarding development fees. Shasta County Peace Officers Association Council reviewed the request of the Shasta County Peace Officers Association to use the Posse Arena for its annual circus. City Clerk Brayton advised that a communication has been received from the Sheriff's Posse authorizing the use and noted that a certificate of insurance is on file for the Shasta County Peace Officers Association. MOTION: Made by Councilman Anderson, seconded by Councilman Pugh approving the request. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Shasta County Air Pollution Control Officer re Clean Air Act Council reviewed a memorandum from the Shasta County Air Pollution Control Officer. It indicated the State Air Resources Board requests development of a ,plan designed 'toward attaining National Ambient Air Quality Standards and proposing 1977 amendments to the Clean Air Act. It is requested that Council determine who should be the lead agency in the development of this plan. The Air Pollution Control Officer recommends the Board of Supervisors be the lead agency for Shasta County with coordination with other local government bodies. 1 1 19 Council concurred that the Board of Supervisors is the proper agency to be the intermediary in this area since the representation to the Valley Air Basin Control Council consists of elected officials from each county in the Sacramento Valley Air Basin. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Anderson that the � yo Shasta County Board of Supervisors act as the lead agency re 77 Amendments to the Clean Air Act and that the plan developed should be coordinated and resubmitted by the Control Council of the Sacramento Valley Air Basin to the California Air Resources Board. City Manager Brickwood will convey Council's action to the Air Resources Board with a copy to the Board of Supervisors and to the Air Pollution Control Officer. Juniper Parents Club Request for Traffic Signal at So. Market & Veda Streets Mrs. Susan Nidever, Vice President of the Juniper Parents Club, submitted a request to Council that a traffic signal be installed at the corner of South Market and Veda Streets. It is felt that upon completion of the Ellis Street extension, it will be more hazardous for the children going from Juniper School across South Market Street because they will not only ir')D have to watch for traffic on South Market, but they will also have to contend with vehicles entering the flow of traffic from the side streets. Mayor Fulton advised this was part of the State Transportation System and Cal Trans is directly involved and may have an overall plan for this area. Councilman Pugh showed concern for this problem and said a solution should be found. Mayor Fulton referred this item to staff requesting that Cal Trans be advised of Council's concern. Ruth Ryan re Water Run -Off Problems at 1088 DeMoll Drive A communication to Council from Mrs. Ryan explained water problems she was experiencing at 1088 DeMoll Drive. Public Works Director Arness said that Mr. Bullen, who owns land at the corner of Churn Creek and DeMoll, has made a written offer to install a 36" steel drainage pipe north of DeMoll and east of Churn Creek. Mr. Arness said he would recommend that the City pay the incremental difference between the cost of the 36" pipe and what an engineering evaluation calls for, as installation of a 36" line would merely shift the problem. He further stated that he intends to have an item in the 78-79 budget for oversizing storm drains in this area, and the cost will be about $75,000. Mr. Arness added that he intends to request funding for a master plan for storm drains in the Enterprise and Cascade area so that the condition existing on DeMoll doesn't occur again. In response to an inquiry as to whether the problem on DeMoll was caused by the developer or if it is a natural drainage area, Mr. Arness replied that it is a natural drainage area. It will be the recommendation of the Department of Public Works that the City cooperate with the property owner in the first section in oversizing. Wm. L. Farrell, DDS, re 150 K.V. Powerline along Eureka Way Council considered the request of Wm. L. Farrell, DDS, that the City of Redding reopen public hearings on the proposed location of the 150 K.V. c Powerline along Eureka Way. His concern was that all property owners are automatically notified when some major modification of land or building is undertaken by a private developer and this consideration was absent when Redding Municipal Utilities were involved. 20 Councilman Demsher asked what rules were in effect when this hearing was held and asked if the property owners affected received notice. Director of Planning and Community Development said that under the EIR Ordinance in effect at that time, a legal ad placed in the news- paper was sufficient notice and a legal ad was published in the Record Searchlight on July 6, 1977. \1^�lJ Mr. Harris submitted a memorandum to Council, dated February 6, 1978, setting forth subsequent actions taken by staff, the Planning Com- mission, and Council. He noted that when the matter was before Council on September 6, Doctor Farrell did not speak; however, Doctor Oler, who has an office in the same building at 2701 Eureka Way, spoke in opposition to the Eureka Way alignment, as did Bill Gelonek, who owns property to the west of the Redding Dental Mall. Mayor Fulton requested staff respond to Doctor Farrell's letter. Shasta Dam Area Public Utility District City Clerk Brayton read the following letter of appreciation to Council and those present from the Shasta Dam Area Public Utility District. The District has had notice from the Bureau of Reclamation that there will be no cut back in the contract amount of water for 1978. We were limited by the Bureau to 500 of contract amount during the drought period in 1977, and the purchase of an additional 500 acre feet of water from the City of Redding enabled us to supply an adequate amount of water to this area. Your cooperation with the District in this matter was indeed helpful, and was much appreciated by the Directors, District personnel, and by the residents of this area.

REQUEST TO ISSUE BIDS - Two Dump Trucks and One Electric Service Truck City Manager Brickwood said that normally the request for two 5 -yard dump trucks and one 3/4 -ton electric service truck would be requested in the forthcoming 1978-79 budget; however, because these units will be badly needed during the summer and fall to accomplish planned street, storm drain, water and sewer maintenance programs, it is necessary to have the equipment here in the early summer for the efficient operation of these divisions. He said that the three units in the present dump truck fleet are over ten years old and are causing considerable down time. The truck for the Electrical Department will be needed to service the electrical system in the Cascade area, which could be coming on line sometime in March. By bidding the units now, the City can reasonably expect delivery in early to mid-June. Mr. Brickwood said this request would require a supplemental appropriation at the time of the bid award. MOTION: Made by Councilman Anderson, seconded by Councilman Pugh approving the recommendation. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes KESWICK SWITCHYARD MODIFICATIONS ESCROW FUND Assistant City Manager Courtney reported that on October 17, 1977, Council r authorized establishment of this special trust account required by the v U.S. Government, in the amount of $1.7 million dollars for purchase of the /Keswick Switchyard transformers. In a letter dated January 19, 1978, the �9U U.S. Department of Energy requests that.the City deposit an additional $1.3 million dollars in the Escrow fund for obligation before solicitations for bids can be issued for Stage 02 construction at the Keswick Powerplant 1 1 7 23 115/230kV Switchyard. The solicitation is written for completion in 425 days. To meet a completion date of May 1979, the contract will need to be awarded in early March 1978. j�0 U, MOTION: Made by Councilman Anderson, seconded by Councilman Demsher approving the request for depositing an additional $1.3 million dollars in the Escrow Fund for Stage 02 of the Keswick Switchyard construction. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes INSURANCE PROGRAM RECOMMENDATION Assistant City Manager Courtney reviewed the memorandum to Council from the Insurance Committee dated February 2, 1978. The Multi -Peril Package Policy, which includes general liability, automobile liability, automobile comprehensive and collision, property coverage, accounts receivable insurance and other special coverage, is now in effect with Fire- man's Fund Insurance Co. at the 1978 rates. Mr. Courtney requested Council authorization for payment of the Fireman's Fund Insurance Co. premium in the amount of $303,467, which covers the period January 1, 1978 through December 31, 1978. 1 Secondly, the Blanket Excess Liability Insurance is the coverage in the amount of $5,000,000 over the Multi -Peril Package policy. The underlying coverage is $500,000 and the resultant upper limit is $5,500,000. Mr. Courtney said the Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania is providing coverage pro -rated to January 1, 1979. Mr. Courtney requested formal authorization for this insurance contract. The third area discussed was the Errors and Omissions and "Difference in Conditions" coverage which complements the other elements of the insurance program. This coverage applies to areas of liability exposure which represent an increasing risk compared with prior years. Mr. Courtney stated that this insurance protection is necessary and that coverage will be for the period February 8, 1978 to February 8, 1979. Council was requested to authorize this action. A chart reflecting coverage and premium comparisons from 1976 through 1978 was attached to subject memo. Council members commented on the pros and cons of self insurance. Councilman Demsher said the increase in premiums appeared relative to the increase in population from annexation. MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Pugh approving the aforestated three-part recommendation. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Mr. Brickwood interjected that, because of the excellent safety record of the City, a savings of about $200,000 is being enjoyed on Worker's Compensation insurance costs. Mayor Fulton agreed that the Personnel Officer and the Safety Team should be commended for their efforts in this area. PUBLIC HEARING - re EIR-3-78, Development Fees The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the Public Hearing on Environmental Impact Report EIR-3-78 re development fees. j The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Memorandum from Director of Planning and Community Development dated January 31, 1978 24 The City Clerk advised Council that no written protests had been received. Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January 31, 1978. It is recommended \� the public hearing be rescheduled and re -advertised for a later date. He stated that one of the issues raised is the level of the fees proposed; i.e., regardless of the amount of information the staff could provide, there will be those in the community who believe such fees would be arbitrary and excessive. In order to ensure credibility for the fees regardless of their level, it has been suggested the City hire a private economist to prepare an analysis of the proposed fees as they relate to existing revenue sources and to known needs. Mr. Harris said the firm of Keyser Marston Associates of San Francisco has been contacted with regard to reviewing the data. They request remuneration on a time and material basis, estimating $7600 for completion of the study. Mr. Harris requested authorization for staff to negotiate with this firm to perform such a study. When the study is complete, it will be presented to Council. The proposed study would include: 1. Review of costs; meeting with developers to obtain their input; 2. Develop various alternatives on how such fees should be paid; \ 3. Analyze the impact such fees would have on existing development. Councilman Anderson asked if the firm would be willing to place a ceiling of $7600 on the contract. Mr. Harris said he believed this could be arranged. Councilman Demsher recommended that arrangements be made for other interested groups, in addition to the developers, to meet with the firm. Mr. Harris said these items would be discussed and worked out with the firm. 1 MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Anderson that the Public Hearing be rescheduled and re -advertised for a later date and that staff be authorized to hire a consultant to study the development fees at a cost not to exceed $7600. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes. Carrol R. Hammar, 1380 Alrose Lane, appeared before Council and stated his belief that consultants can prove or disprove anything and question- ed the necessity of hiring a consultant if the staff doesn't know what the costs are. have the final say Mayor Fulton assured Mr. Hammar that Council would on the study. Councilman Demsher stated that Council has no reason to believe that staff doesn't know the costs; however, it has been requested that the City hire an economist to either validate the fees proposed or propose fees which he feels to be proper based on factual cost information provided by staff. This will assure that no errors have been made. 25 Councilman Pugh added that the City has operated on a basis where each utility pays its own way. He noted the City has found it has ' ➢ not been charging enough in past years, and if it had not been for the EDA grants, the City would find itself in a deficit position. Because of inflation, the dollars are just not there for growing expenses. He stated the City can raise rates or we can look at other ways to fund capital improvements required to serve the growing community. Mr. Pugh said questions have been well asked by people in various walks of life and Council needs legitimate answers and a sound basis for solving the problems. Tom McGregor, 3576 Bechelli Lane, representing "Citizens for Responsible Growth", congratulated Council on its action to employ an economist. Donation of time and data from his group was offered to assist in an effective and impartial study. Charles Adams, 3021 Lawncrest Road, appeared before Council stating there was a fallacy in the argument that owners of existing homes should not have to pay the increased costs for new development. New homes are built on vacant land and land owners have been paying taxes on such land, therefore, everyone should share the cost. Art Contois, 2130 Angie Place, appeared before Council and said he feels Council is acting prematurely in seeking a consultant at this time before the EIR has been certified. City Attorney Murphy advised that the data provided by the Consultant would be included in the final EIR and Council will ultimately make a decision on the basis of all information received. PUBLIC HEARING - Ridgeview Subdivision Trunk Sewer Extension Councilman Pugh abstained from discussion and voting on this item. The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the Public Hearing on Ridgeview Subdivision Trunk Sewer Extension. I� 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 The City Clerk advised Council that two letters had been received, one from R. V. Christian requesting appearance before Council at the hearing, and one from Roger and Eunice Whipp, 1570 Canyon Creek Road, opposing City intervention in the issue. A Vu Graph was shown which depicted the proposed sewer line route and two alternatives. Public Works Director Arness said it is proposed that the sewer extension run from the existing 15" sewer trunk in Westside Road in the vicinity of south Farmer's Market up Canyon Hollow and northerly through the Blue Gravel Mine area into what was formerly Southern Pacific land. Mr. Arness said the rights of way for this line are being acquired by Dempsey Construction Company, owner of Ridgeview Subdivision. However, there are two pieces which they have not been able to acquire, and they will have to be acquired through eminent domain proceedings. Mr. Arness stated there is a letter on file from Dempsey Construction Company acknowledging they will be responsible for all costs including title reports, appraisals, court costs, and attorney fees. In addition, a reimbursement agreement has been prepared by the City Attorney's office and is in the hands of Dempsey Construction Company. 26 Franklin Cibula, Attorney, representing R. V. Christian, opposed construction of the sewer line on the north side of Pray Road as proposed by the City Public Works staff. He stated it would be more 1� \ logical to place it down Canyon Creek (Alt. #1 depicted on the Vu Graph) which would meet Highway 273 on a straight line. He said the staff's objection to making that straight line is primarily one of crossing the creek but he noted the creek would have to be crossed at several points anyway. Mr. Cibula added that the south half of Pray Road contains a gas and water line; that staff opposes the sewer line here because of problems with maintenance of three utility lines in such close proximity. Mr. Cibula said the problems are not insurmountable. He added the present proposal would place the line under already existing pavement. He maintained there are other more desirable alternatives. Public Works Director Arness adamantly stated he would never recommend placing a sewer line in the bottom of a creek that floods. Roger Whipp, 1570 Canyon Creek Road, questioned why there was a public need to construct this sewer line? It is not like the Twinview sewer system where an existing system is over -loaded. He felt it wrong for the City to use its power to assist a private developer. Mr. Whipp said three alternative routes on his property had been offered to the developer with compensation desired for each route. However, a meeting with the developer had never materialized to negotiate these alternatives. City Attorney Murphy clarified there was property to the north that would be connected to the trunk line as the City grows and develops, hence the City's involvement. If the developer is unable to acquire appropriate property in the general route of the Master Plan, the City will assist because ultimately this is a public project and in theory, the developer is working for the public. Paul Jones, Pace Engineering, representing Dempsey Construction Company, discussed the proposed costs (as shown on the Vu Graph) of the three alternative routes, i.e., proposed route - $22,000 (down Pray Road), Alt. #1 - $45-50,000 (down Canyon Creek), Alt. #2 - $64-70,000 (down Canyon Creek Road). He noted that use of either of the alternates would involve going under a box culvert, which would be extremely costly. In Alt. #1 Mr. Christian would donate the land, and in Alt. #2 the land would have to be acquired. MOTION: Made by Councilman Anderson, seconded by Councilman Demsher that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Councilman Pugh abstaining. Councilman Demsher questioned whether interested parties could arrive at an amiable solution rather than for Council to take action at this time. Associate Civil Engineer Hastings said that passing the resolution would not stop negotiations, that the contractor was anxious to proceed with the project. MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilman Anderson adopting Resolution No. 78-12, a resolution of the City Council of the �\ City of Redding finding that the public convenience and necessity require the acquisition of certain easements for a public improvement, to wit, for the construction and maintenance of the Ridgeview Subdivision trunk sewer extension. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Councilmen - Anderson, Demsher, and Fulton Noes: Councilmen - None Abstain: Councilmen - Pugh Absent: Councilwoman - Gard Note: Resolution No. 78-12 did not receive the necessary two-thirds vote. 1 1 1 27 PUBLIC HEARING - 3 -Year Community Development Plan The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the Public Hearing on consideration of adoption of the Community Development Plan, Housing Assistance Plan, and Citizen Participation Plan. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk.

Housing and Redevelopment Administrator Henson reviewed the 3 --Year Community Development Plan as contained in a memorandum to Council dated January 31, 1978, which memorandum is made a part of these minutes by reference. Planning Consultant, Lyle Stewart, pointed out on a map the various areas in which projects are proposed. It is the recommendation of staff that upon completion of the Public Hearing, the Housing Assistance Plan, the Citizen Participation Plan, and the 3 -Year Community Development Plan be approved and that staff be authorized to prepare an application to HUD for entitlement funds and Small Cities funds in amounts necessary to implement the Community Development Plan.

ENTERPRISE COMMUNITY PARK AND ACQUISITION OF VISCAINO PROPERTY Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed his memorandum to Council dated January 27, 1978. At its regular meeting of January 19, 1978, the Parks and Recreation Commission unanimously recommended acquisition by the City of Redding of 40 acres on the east side of Enterprise High School c� for park purposes. The area is presently undeveloped and is predominantly wooded. The area is presently shown on the Redding General Plan as a J 0 community park extending eastward to Churn Creek. Mr. Harris said a potential �7 source of funding for this project is the 1976 Park Bond Act, under which the City has been allotted $166,000. In order to receive funding from this source this year, it will be necessary to file an application with the State Department of Parks and Recreation by March 1, 1978. Mr. Harris said that it is the recommendation of both the Parks and Recreation Commission and staff that the subject 40 acres be acquired for park purposes. It is requested that Council authorize the City Manager to submit an appli- cation for funding in order to reserve a place in the upcoming State budget. A request was also made for authorization to obtain an appraisal of this property in order to complete the application. Mr. Harris also interjected a request for authorization to obtain an appraisal of the river -front property that Frank and Michael Viscaino have offered to sell to the City.
