The Vote: Unanimous Ayes WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS John H. Sharrah and Associates - Extension of Water Line for Fire Protection Services In a communication to Council, Mr. John H. Sharrah, of John H. Sharrah and Associates, requested extension of a water line to Alta Mesa Drive and installation of a fire hydrant for fire protection purposes in Western Ranches Subdivision, Unit No. 8. City Attorney Murphy replied that the City has followed that practice, on occasion, in the past. He said the City has used a lesser rate of about 1.6 times the monthly rate in the unincorporated portion of Buckeye. In a memorandum to Council dated August 30, 1978, Public Works Director \ Arness stated that the fire service line would be constructed within the Bureau of Reclamation/City of Redding contract service limit area. Since the line would be constructed at no cost to the City, it is recommended that the City not charge the standard household equivalent or connection charge for the placement of the fire line. It is recom- mended that a monthly rental rate of $12 be charged for the fire hydrant and two times the in -City monthly water rate be charged for the water. A flow detection device would be required near the connection to the main in order to preclude the possibility of this fire line being utilized to provide domestic water service in the area. Mr. Arness said this is a standard requirement and the detector check related costs are the responsibility of the contractor. Mr. Arness recommended approval of the extension of the line as suggested in John Sharrah's letter subject to construction to City of Redding standards and that an agreement be prepared for billing for the services. Councilman Kirkpatrick asked if the rate of two times the in -City monthly water rate was standard. City Attorney Murphy replied that the City has followed that practice, on occasion, in the past. He said the City has used a lesser rate of about 1.6 times the monthly rate in the unincorporated portion of Buckeye. 257 MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick approving the recommendation of the Public Works Director, authorizing the City Attorney to prepare the necessary agreement, and authorizing the Mayor to sign same.

Mr. Simpson said that on February 23, 1977, the City notified PG&E that it was the intention of the City to purchase the Enterprise facilities. Since that time, the City has completed its evaluation of inventory of the facilities and funds for acquisition have been approved through a bond election. PG&E completed its inventory of the facilities in October or November of 1977, and since that time, the City has been unable to obtain a time schedule as to when they will offer the facilities to the City of Redding. PG&E indicates that several pockets within the Enterprise area that were not within the EPUD area and were not annexed to the City, have caused complex problems with respect to the acquisition process. Mr. Simpson said that he was not in total accord with their concern. He stated that in the electric industry, _ it is not unusual for two entities to occupy the same pole. He informed Council that the City has received a letter from PG&E stating that by mid- September they hope to have all of the engineering totally complete and shortly thereafter, they will have an offer to sell. He said that presently the City is waiting on PG&E for an offer to sell, which will indicate the price of the facilities, plus severance. Mr. Simpson reported that it took 23 months to get service to the customers in the annexed Cascade area. He said that we are now almost that far into the Enterprise annexation and still do not have an offer from PG&E. He noted that the City Electric Department has made preparation to serve the Enterprise customers and will be ready to take over when the City acquires the facilities. Councilman Kirkpatrick asked Mr. Simpson if he felt the commitment made to respond by mid-September would be honored. Mr. Simpson said the letter stated shortly after mid-September, but that they were careful not to make a firm commitment. 260 Councilman Kirkpatrick said that in talking with PG&E officials in May, they had indicated an offer would be ready by July. Councilman Pugh said he appreciates the oral report; however, by the September 18 meeting, he would like a written report submitted to Council giving timelines, comparing the Cascade acquisition with the Enterprise acquisition in order to formulate some sequential evidence as to where the City is. He feels Council needs to take a long -hard look at this matter. Mayor Demsher said that hopefully by the next meeting, the City will have heard something from PG&E. He believes Council needs to indicate its impatience and that even though it may be a complicated process, most matters such as this, can be accomplished in a year or 18 months. Electric Director Simpson commented that the Enterprise customers are becoming impatient. Council deferred taking any action on this item until receipt of a written report at its next meeting on September 18, 1978. TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP - Hilltop Heights Subdivision Council was advised that the Planning Commission has approved the Tentative Subdivision Map for Hilltop Heights Subdivision, subject to fifteen conditions. Council was provided a list of the conditions. The location of the subdivision was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Hamilton noted that one of the petitioners on the north side of Yuba Street has indicated that a 9 P.M. prohibition is not early enough. City Manager Brickwood suggested that perhaps Council would like to hear from the Police Chief re his recommendation. TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP - Golden Heights Subdivision Council was advised that the Planning Commission has approved the Tentative Subdivision Map for Golden Heights Subdivision, subject to fourteen conditions. Council was provided a list of the conditions. The location of the subdivision �v was shown on the Vu Graph. TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP - Matthew Gardens Subdivision, One -Year Extension Council was advised that the Planning Commission has approved a one-year extension of the time of filing the final map of Matthew Gardens Sub- division, subject to fifteen conditions.

TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP - Manzanita Villas Subdivision, One -Year Extension Council was advised that the Planning Commission has approved a one-year extension of the time of filing the final map of Manzanita Villas Sub- division, subject to eighteen conditions. Council was provided a list of the conditions. The location of the subdivision was shown on the Vu Graph. PARKING PROHIBITION - 1300 Block of Yuba Street Traffic Engineer Hamilton reported that on August 21, 1978, Council approved a recommendation from the Traffic and Parking Commission prohibiting parking from 7 P.M. to 6 A.M. in the 1300 block of Yuba Street (Crocker Bank area). The recommendation was made on the belief that the 7 P.M. beginning time n had the approval of all the merchants on the block. The merchants on the south side have since contacted the City and indicated that they prefer a prohibition after 9 P.M. on the south side. It is, therefore, recommended that parking be prohibited in the 1300 block of Yuba Street from 9 P.M. to 6 A.M. on the south side, and from 7 P.M. to 6 A.M. on the north side. The City Attorney has prepared a resolution for Council consideration. Councilman Pugh said he is concerned about the confusion this will create for the public and also for enforcement by the Police Department. He felt both sides should be the same, possibly 9 P.M. to 6 A.M. Other Council Members concurred. Mr. Hamilton noted that one of the petitioners on the north side of Yuba Street has indicated that a 9 P.M. prohibition is not early enough. City Manager Brickwood suggested that perhaps Council would like to hear from the Police Chief re his recommendation. 261 Police Chief Whitmer said that it was the original recommendation of his Department that the parking prohibition begin a 9 P.M. on both sides of the street. However, because one of the petitioners adamantly disagreed and felt 9 P.M. was not early enough, it was felt that a parking prohi- bition on the north side beginning at 7 P.M. and at 9 P.M. on the south side would be acceptable. Mr. Whitmer said it would be preferable to establish a uniform parking prohibition, such as 9 P.M., for the entire block. This would ease enforcement problems. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard that Resolution No. 78 -149 -be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding prohibiting parking in the 1300 block of Yuba Street from 9 P.M. to 6 A.M.

The 80 -foot wide street was dedicated originally in 1887. Improvement plans were prepared in 1972, based on a reduced street width; and all improvements are now completed except at the corner at Lakeview Drive. The street was shifted to the south in order to save a large oak tree located in the north half of the street. If abandoned, Mr. Harris said that the 26 foot right of way would revert to the property owner on the north side. It is the opinion of both the Planning Commission and the staff that the right of way in question is not needed for either present or future street needs. If Council concurs, the City Attorney has prepared a resolution for consideration. It is also recommended that Council ratify the Negative Declaration prepared for this project.

The proper- ty is presently being used as a residence. If the zone change is approved, the applicant intends to create two additional residential parcels. It is the recommendation of both the Planning Commission and the staff that the Council approve the zone change, as requested, and find the change in zoning to be consistent with the General Plan and that the change would eliminate an existing spot zoning. If the Council concurs, the City Attorney has prepared a resolution for consideration. It is also recommended that Council ratify the Nega- tive Declaration prepared for this rezoning.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes LIMITED PARKING ZONE - 1241 East Street Traffic Engineer Hamilton stated that on July 17, 1978, Council approved the recommendation of the Traffic and Parking Commission for a 15 -minute limited parking zone in front of Mary B's School of Cakes. Subsequently, Mary Meadows died and on the request of the Traffic and Parking Commission Chairman Vincelli, staff withheld the preparation of the necessary resolution for Council's routine action. Mr. Hamilton said that since that time, the Traffic and Parking Commission and staff have had second thoughts on the matter and believe that it is against general policy to restrict public on -street park- ing in favor of a particular business. It is felt that such action could be precedent setting. It is requested that Council reverse its July 17 approval of this matter. 1 267 Council noted that when the makeup of a neighborhood changes - from all residential to part commercial - there is apt to be a problem with respect to parking. One method could be eliminating all parking to 15 minutes or by approving certain 15 -minute zones. Mr. Pugh felt that Council could not take a hard line on this as it would vary according to each situation. It was the consensus of Council that inasmuch as approval had been given to the request, even though the applicant was now deceased, the decision should not be reversed as the business will continue at that location. No action was taken by Council and the City Attorney will prepare the resolution.
