Shasta Mall. Councilwoman Gard asked if it might be possible that this could be construed as advertising one hospital over another? Beatrice Tomicich, Tel -Med Coordinator, advised Council that Tel -Med is a public service sponsored by Mercy Medical Center and the Shasta Trinity Medical Society. She said that through the generosity of a non-resident, Ms. Hazel A. Harkinson of San Mateo, the equipment and tapes were donated to Redding with the proviso that the Mercy Medical Guild be responsible for the operation. The program isn't designed to promote Mercy Medical Center, but only to make the 250 available tapes accessible for listening to more of the general public.

Protest Petition - Proposed Oregon Gulch Sanitary Landfill Project Council reviewed the petition protesting the joint City and County proposal to construct sanitary landfill projects, Sites 5 and 6, in the Oregon Gulch -Kenyon Drive -Riviera Drive area in South Redding. Signers of the petition object to the fact that a public hearing has not been held. 1 1 73 Councilman Pugh requested that all of the individuals listed on the petition be notified individually of the public hearing to consider the EIR on this proposal. Councilwoman Gard requested that during notification, a map of the proposed site and an explanation of the EIR process be attached. Discussion ensued on a related item from the Public Works portion of the agenda pertaining to a joint City -County letter agreement with SCS Engineers for an EIR on the Oregon Gulch site for solid waste disposal. Public Works Director Arness advised that in November, 1975, the City and County entered into an agreement to "assess the solid waste manage- ment practices and programs of the City of Redding and the County of Shasta." One of the tasks involved was the preparation of the draft EIR which was to be undertaken only upon direction of both the City and County. It is the recommendation of the Department of Public Works that the City participate in the preparation of the EIR and the charges for the preparation of the EIR be increased, due to the delay in preparation, from $8,212.00 to $9,250.00, based on cost of living increases since May 1, 1976, as spelled out in the letter from the Board of Supervisors dated March 13, 1978. Mr. Arness assured Council that the 50-50 cost sharing formula is not a precedent for any future negotiations. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard approving the aforestated recommendation and that the Mayor be authorized to execute the letter agreement.

Notice Inviting Bids on Improvement Bonds Bond Counsel Sperry stated that the Jarvis Gann bill clearly impacts the present form of 1915 bonds. He indicated the bonds cannot be delivered prior to June 6, the election date. He recommends fore - staying action on bidding on the bonds, but to proceed with the public hearing on May 15, 1978, and then proceeding on a controlled basis. Mr. Sperry said it is possible the City would desire to switch over to the use of the 1911 Bond Act if Proposition 13 is enacted. The Jarvis Gann proposal makes the 1915 Bond Act less attractive.

The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Demsher opened the Public , Hearing on General Plan Amendment Application GPA -6-77, Panorama- ILI Buenaventura Neighborhood Plan. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendation dated 3/29/78 The City Clerk advised Council that one protest to the proposed density has been received from Al R. Hiland, 1741 Lawncrest Road, Redding. Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed his memo of March 29, 1978, stating that at its regular meeting of February 28, 1978, the Redding Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of GPA -6-77. Maps depicting the boundaries of the Neighborhood Plan area, the proposed neighborhood plan and the previous general plan were submitted to Council and the areas were shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Hargis stated that the major objective of the Plan is to preserve the area, particularly along Railroad Avenue, as a viable residential neighborhood. The Plan area covers 472 acres and the predominant land use is single-family residential with Mercy Hospital being the major employer. Much of the Plan area is vacant land with slopes in excess of 20 percent. Mr. Harris advised Council that the existing General Plan would allow approximately 883 dwelling units whereas the proposed plan would allow approximately 611 units in this area. Council was advised that a request received from Pacific Gas and Electric to provide for future expansion of the substation site at the west end of Grandview Avenue was incorporated into the Plan. in Mr. Harris said that it is the recommendation of both the Planning Commission and staff that Panorama -Buenaventura Neighborhood Plan be adopted. Al R. Hiland, 1741 Lawncrest Road, stated that because he had recently acquired part interest in a parcel of land at the end of West Street, \� he now has access land for a road right of way to his other parcels \� which he wishes to develop. He desires greater density for develop- ment. Jim Westlake, 2510 Eureka Way, representing four parcels of land within the area, opposed the proposed open space areas which would affect development of these parcels. He stated that the open space will eliminate development of almost 100 existing parcels or lots within this area under various ownership. He said that building sites have been created that are now on level ground in some cases. Planning and Community Development Director Harris stated that much of this area is shown as steep slope and greenbelt land as it is almost totally unusable and has no access from existing streets or proposed streets. Mr. Westlake indicated his feelings that inadequate notice had been \ sent out resulting in a lack of contact with property owners. He did not feel the property owners in the area were aware of the pro- posals before the Planning Commission and Council. He also indicated the zoning map is out of date and not accurate and requested metes and bounds descriptions be utilized over the general descriptions. He requested going on record that he desires development on his specific parcels. (Note - Unable to verify parcel numbers with Mr. Westlake). Councilman Pugh asked what type of public notice had been used. Mr. Harris replied that a display notice was published in the Record Searchlight. Also,neighborhood meetings were held and an attempt was made by the Department to send out individual notices for these meetings. Councilman Pugh asked if the topography was studied. Mr. Harris said the Department relied on topography maps available, but were aware of some grading which had occurred in the area. Mr. Harris said the General Plan Amendment, which will be used as a guide for zoning, was basically all that was under consideration and some modification of precise zoning could be allowed. It was also noted that some of the present grading near Summit Drive \ could have taken place after adoption of the grading ordinance. Council members requested that this determination be made. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Fulton that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Council- woman Gard abstaining. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Pugh that Resolution No. 78-50 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding amending the General Plan of the City of Redding by adopting General Plan Amendment GPA -6-77, amending the Plan as to that area south of Octavia Street, west of Railroad Avenue, north of the south end of Summit Drive, and east of Blue Gravel Canyon. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Councilmen - Fulton, Kirkpatrick, Pugh, and Demsher Noes: Councilmen - None Absent: Councilmen - None Abstain: Councilwoman - Gard Resolution No. 78-50 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. 1 1 1 79 PUBLIC HEARING - Establishing Policy re Issuance of Improvement Bonds The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Demsher opened the Public Hearing on the establishment of a policy re issuance of improvement 3 bonds for the development of subdivisions. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Staff recommendation dated March 10, 1978 The City Clerk advised Council that no written protests had been received. Assistant City Manager Courtney reviewed the staff memo to Council and stated that it was appropriate for the Council to hear from both developers and specialists in the investment field. Mr. Courtney said that on Decmeber 19, 1977, Council considered a request that special assessment district financing be used for the Red Banks Subdivision. This request was referred to the Growth Management Committee for review and recommendation. Mr. Courtney continued that on February 21, 1978, the Growth Management Committee recommended that the request be referred back to the Council for a policy decision. The Growth Management Committee also recommended that staff develop a recommendation. He said staff recommends that special assessment district bonds not be used to finance development costs in new subdivisions. The use of assessment district financing should be preserved for those purposes for which needs exist in the community, especially the upgrading of older developed areas and the completion of segments of the utility and street networks. Mr. Courtney indicated that if Council elects to make special assess- ment district financing available for new subdivisions, in recognition of the desire of the developers and the demand of the bond market, the staff recommendations are as follows: 1. The use of this financial procedure should be limited to small developments of 50 lots or less in order to reduce the impact on administrative costs, and a bond service fee should be levied in an amount no less than $7.50 per bond per year. 2. Assessment district bonds should be used to finance only those improvements which will become the property of the City of Redding and the maintenance responsibility of the City. 3. Assessment district financing should not be used to reimburse the developer for the value of land or rights _ of way which have been required to be dedicated to the City as a part of the subdivision procedure. 4. The assessment against any parcel in the subdivision should be limited to no more than one-third of the estimated market value of the parcel after the improve- ments are installed. L. H. Easterling, Birr Wilson & Co., stated he has been in the assess- ment bond business for 35 years having been instrumental in the financing of some 200 subdivisions and assessment districts in Northern California. He said that the 1911 Act Improvement Bonds enable the buyer to pay out over a period of years costs that usually must be M paid on the front end. Mr. Easterling related Red Banks Subdivision to the four points outlined in the staff memo to Council and gave justification for its suitability to this type financing. Mr. Easterling assured Council that the work is bonded by a subdivision bond, and the bonds are well secured. Because land values are high, the City would be assured of payment and foreclosure would be unlikely. He felt any expenses on the part of the City should be reimbursed. Joe Tallerico, Manager of the Redding office of Birr Wilson & Co., said he was a proponent for allowing Improvement Bonds for subdivisions larger than 50 lots as proposed. He believes each application should be judged on its own merits. He also pointed out that Shasta County charges a service fee of $60 for a 15 -year bond and $80 for a 20 -year bond, which is less than the $7.50 per bond per year, as proposed by staff, which totals $112.50 on a 15 -year bond. Fred Hilger, Humboldt Financial Services, responded in defense of allowing Improvement Bonds for subdivisions larger than 50 lots. He stated that he believes a larger issue is better, from an administrative point of view, pointing out that the financial ability of the developer should be taken into consideration. Sam Sperry, Sturgis, Ness and Brunsell, Bond Counsel to the City of Redding, advised that the 1915 Improvement Act grants the City authority to contract with a paying agent to handle not only billing and collections, but payment out to bond holders. He said that in contrasting 1911 bonds vs. 1915 bonds, 1915 bonds offer the City authority to build in the annual service cost per year allowing the flexibility of remaining equal with inflated costs. However, the 1911 bond does not offer this flexi- bility; costs must be projected at the outset. Mr. Sperry said that both the 1911 and 1915 acts might encourage thinly capitalized sub- divisions which open the way for abuse. He said E1 Dorado County has developed a screening process which attempts to eliminate this type of misuse. Council indicated interest in obtaining information from El Dorado County on the screening process they adopted. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Fulton that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes 4 Councilman Pugh said he was familiar with the recommendation of staff but the additional information presented at the hearing gave it a much wider application. He is concerned about making an ad hoc decision. He said he was not able to digest all of the material presented this evening and would like to continue this matter to the next meeting. Other Council members concurred. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard continuing this matter for consideration and action to the meeting of April 17, 1978. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes RECOMMENDED SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS AND FUND TRANSFERS - March, 1978 Assistant City Manager Courtney reviewed the request for authorization of 1977-78 fund transfers and supplemental appropriations of all City of Redding Annual Budget funds.

It is recommended by staff that a public hearing, to consider the appeal, be set for 7:30 P.M., April 17, 1978. Because of the anticipated public interest and considerable attendance, Council determined that the public hearing should be set at other than a regular Council meeting.

TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP - Rolling Hills, Unit No. 7 Planning and Community Development Director Harris advised Council that at its regular meeting of March 28, 1978, the Planning Commission unanimously approved a tentative map for the subdivision of five acres located generally at the north end of Travona Street, east of Wisconsin Avenue, into 13 single- ✓�-J3 family lots,subject to 14 conditions. Council was provided a list of the r conditions. The area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Harris said that during consideration of the map, considerable neighborhood interest was expressed concerning the need for park facilities in the area. Since the Parks Commission previously recommended to the Planning Commission that a minimum two -acre park be required of the developer, the Planning Commission has asked the Parks and Recreation Commission to evaluate the park needs of the Rolling AA Hills area and forward its findings to Council. Mr. Harris advised that Mr. Baker offered dedication of one acre of land for neighborhood park purposes and has further agreed to the reservation of lots 11 and 12, which are adjacent, for acquisition by either the neighborhood or by the City as park land. Mr. Harris said that if this land is acquired, this would add another one-half acre to the park area. Mr. Baker will submit a letter agreement outlining the terms of the reservation. Mrs. Mary Bryden, 3980 Oro Street, submitted letters from 24 residents of the area requesting the standards recommended by the Parks and Recreation Commission be followed setting aside 2 acres for park land within the Rolling Hills Subdivision. Mrs. Bryden said more letters would be forthcoming in the mail. She said the subdivision has been developed over a period of 18 years with small lots and high density. Inasmuch as the last 13 lots are the only open space remaining in the subdivision, she hoped Mr. Baker would consider donation of more than 1 acre for park purposes. She also noted that many residents have indicated they have not received notice of Planning Commission or other meetings where consideration of this subdivision is held. Mr. Harris said that at present the City does not have an ordinance which would mandate dedication of park land or park reservation. Councilwoman Gard asked if the neighbors are willing to start an assessment district to purchase the lots that have been reserved for park land?

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes N IMPROVEMENTS - Mistletoe Lane Planning and Community Development Director Harris said that Mr. Walton Gill, in a letter to Council dated October 11, 1977, indicated that his clients wished to dedicate the additional street right of way needed for Mistletoe Lane in exchange for curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements, as has been done elsewhere on Mistletoe and along Hilltop Drive. Mr. Harris said that although this technique has generally been applied in the past, it is the recommendation of the staff that each case be reviewed individually and a determination made based on the facts of the particular case. He said that the plan line adopted for Mistletoe Lane in 1966 requires a considerable amount of right of way. This portion of Mistletoe is an essential link in the circulation system.
