Eugene Clark, Jr., M.D. - Commendation re Shasta View and Victor Avenue speed limit decisions Mayor Fulton asked City Clerk Brayton to read the letter from E. Eugene Clark, Jr., M.D. to Council and members of the audience. It read as follows: Dear Council Members: I think that most of us citizens are inclined to communicate with you primarily when we are angry about something and want to complain. After reading the article in the Wednesday February 22nd Record Searchlight, summarizing your actions in rejecting the proposals to increase speed limits on Shasta View Drive and Victor Avenue, 2 I decided it was time to break tradition and send a letter of commendation. I was delighted and very proud to read of the unanimous and decisive stand you took in favor of keeping the speed limit at 25 miles per hour in the Shasta View --Victor area. I was even more gratified to read your emphatic comments calling for more enforcement efforts by police. I am sure I speak for many citizens when I say thank you for rejecting those guidelines that say we must let the laws be set by the lawbreakers. And thank you for considering the well-being and safety of the residents to be more important than the expediency of "efficient traffic flow." And thank you for taking the extra effort to think, and reason, and care about what is right and good for the people of our community ---rather than to follow the easy, pre -planned technocratic road to mediocrity and community deterioration. Of course the job isn't over --speeding, recklessness, vehicular arrogance, and window --rattling noise aren't limited to Shasta View and Victor. They have become "rules of the road" for the whole community. Other citizens, in many neighborhoods, have the same concerns as those on Shasta View and Victor. So, please, don't stop now. Continue your enlightened approach. Continue to make your decisions based upon reason and concern for community values and quality of life --rather than the old cliches and counter-productive guidelines. Continue your firm stand to bring our state of "traffic anarchy" back under solid control--on..Shasta View, Victor, and every other street in Redding. I am sure more people than you imagine will thank you for helping to bring safety and order back to our streets and neighborhoods. Sincerely, /s/ E. Eugene Clark, Jr. E.

The City Manager of Willows advises that Mund and McLaurin have been selected to perform a special study pertaining to the feasibility of developing a self-insurance program for worker's compensation liability. Mr. Courtney advised Council that worker's compensation insurance "experience modification" for the City of Redding for the 1977-78 fiscal year was 74%; and, for the 1978-79 fiscal year, it is projected to be 45%. As a result, in 1978-79, the City of Redding will pay 45% of the standard premium rate for worker's compensation liability coverage compared to other local agencies insured by the State Compensation Insurance Fund. Mr. Courtney said it is the opinion of staff that there would be no financial advantage to the City of Redding, at this time, to participate in a pooling arrangement with the cities who are members of the Sacramento Valley Division of the League of California Cities. 52 Councilwoman Gard said she had attended the League workshop at Woodland with Dr. Fulton and Mr. Courtney when this matter was discussed. She felt it would not be to the City of Redding's advantage to participate. Mrs. Gard questioned whether non participation in the study would negate future participation in the pool. Dr. Fulton questioned whether future benefits might"make it worthwhile for the City to participate in the study now, but not in the pool. Councilman Anderson said that because of the good safety record of the City, he was not in favor of participating in either the study or the pool. Councilman Pugh said he doubts that with Redding's record, the study will reveal anything beneficial to Redding. MOTION: Made by Councilman Anderson, seconded by Councilman Demsher that the City of Redding not participate in the Sacramento Valley Division pro- posed study re self-insurance for Worker's Compensation Liability.

In reviewing the report, Mr. Arness said that with the extremely wet winter Redding has experienced, the need for a master storm drainage plan is inherent although funding is a major problem. Councilwoman Gard asked if an EIR is necessary prier to consideration of enlargement of the old landfill area? City Attorney Murphy said that determination should be made by the Board of Administrative Review or the Planning Commission prior to action by Council.

He said data obtained will be a partial basis for the formulation of the monthly Regional sewer service charge required for funding the transportation and treatment of Regional wastewaters. The authorization requests compensation in an amount not to exceed $14,418, unless additional work is specifically requested by the City. The magnitude of the additional work referred to above can only be defined during the investigative phase of the work. The additional work involves constructing one or more manholes for sampling sites and for providing tests beyond the scope of this task order. He said the estimated cost of this additional work could be as high as $10,000. Mr. Mathis added that compensation provided by Task Order Nos. 10 and 11 is 87-1/2% grant eligible. Staff recommends approval of Task Order Nos. 10 and 11 and that the City Manager be authorized to execute said Task Orders.

MOTION: Made by Councilman Anderson, seconded by Councilman Pugh approving the aforestated recommendation. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes REQUEST FOR SEWER SERVICE - West of Clear Creek Plant Public Works Director Arness reviewed the request of the County for sewer service to the area west of Highway 273 and south of the Redding Sky Ranch. This area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Arness said he recommends against the City providing sewer service in that area based on precedent and 1vL liability. He added that the plant has a design life of ten years and he questions that it will reach the anticipated ten years. The Regional Legislative Board agreed on the regional district boundaries and he felt the City could not recommend service to areas outside such boundaries. The City has had requests from other areas for similar service, (by the airport and also by the college). Mayor Fulton asked City Attorney Murphy to read the letter from R. D. Gover, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, dated February 27, 1978. Councilman Pugh said he had been involved in the area of sewer service for the City since 1975. He agreed with Mr. Arness that the design life probably won't reach the anticipated ten years. He felt it would be far better for the City of Anderson to provide this area with sewer service since it lies 57 within that drainage basin. He believes the City needs to ensure the capacity for ten years to the residents within the boundaries. He also stated it might affect the 87-1/2% grant. He didn't feel the City could breach the integrity of the regional sewer district boundary. Dick Curry, County Public Works Director, said he thought the letter from the Board expressed its concern. He said a number of years ago the Board and Council established a committee to work on joint City/County problems. At the present time there are three areas that need to be discussed; i.e., the one before Council tonight, the drainage problem in Enterprise, and the water near Keswick Lake. The Board would like to reactivate such a committee to deal with such problems. Councilwoman Gard asked how many dwelling units were involved in the request for sewer service. She was advised that there are a couple of mobile home parks in this area; that one of them wants to expand. Councilman Demsher said that by Council approving the request, it is establishing a precedent before the plant is built. Council is being asked to extend the service area for future development expansion. He felt Council would receive subsequent requests and a policy should be established now. Mayor Fulton said he felt a Council committee should be working with the Board. Councilman Anderson said joint discussions could be held on the water -shed, but that he concurred with other Council members on the request for sewer service. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Anderson approving the staff recommendation that sewer service not be provided to residents west of the Clear Creek Plant. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Councilmen - Anderson, Demsher, Gard, and Pugh Noes: Councilmen - Fulton Absent: Councilmen - None In discussion re establishment of a joint City/County committee to work on such problems, Councilman Pugh said Council has liaison representatives on various committees now and he questioned the need for an on-going City/ County committee.
