He noted that on April 7, 1978, Council authorized the City of Redding "911" Emergency Telephone System Plan and on July 7, 1978, the State of California Communications Division notified the City that it had approved this plan. Mr. Courtney stated that the City has just completed the consolidation of public safety communications and emergency dispatching related to its police and fire services and is now ready to order the additional telephone equipment which will be required to make the City of Redding "911" system operational. With the "911" system, the City will have to pay $87.00 per month for telephone features not included in the existing system; but the City will save $168.20 in existing monthly charges which will be paid by the State of California. This will amount to a net reduction of $81.20 per month in charges paid by the City. The State of California will also pay $11,060.00 in instal- lation charges and an additional $840.00 per month with the implementation of the "911" system. Mr. Courtney pointed out that the State of California has mandated the implementation of the "911" Emergency Telephone procedure by all local agencies no later than December 31, 1985; and the State law requires that "911" telephone equipment be ordered by July 1, 1981. He said the previous deadline for the ordering of equipment had been July 1, 1979, but this deadline was changed by Senate Bill 1457 this year. Mr. Courtney noted that the "911" Emergency Telephone Program has operated successfully in other communities. It is generally agreed that the "911" Emergency Telephone Program will benefit the citizens of this community, and the City of Redding has completed most of the steps required for the implementation of the "911" procedure. He requested that the ordering of the telephone equipment for the City's "911" system be formally authorized by minute order of the City Council; and he also recommended that January 1, 1979 be specified as the system availability date in the equipment order. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard authorizing ordering of the "911" System telephone equipment and that January 1, 1979 be specified as the system availability date in the equipment order. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes ADDITIONS AND BETTERMENTS IN CASCADE AREA ELECTRIC SYSTEM Electric Director Simpson advised Council that at the time the City acquired the PG&E facilities in the Cascade area, the City agreed to pay for additions and betterments installed in the Cascade Area electric system after PG&E completed its inventory and prior to the City assuming ownership of the facilities. PG&E has completed its inventory and valuation of these additions and betterments and the cost is $61,431.00. It is requested ql� that Council authorize payment of this amount to PG&E. $30,000.00 of �I this amount is budgeted in the Electric Department budget and a supple- mental appropriation of $31,431.00 is requested. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick author- izing payment of $61,431.00 to PG&E for additions and betterments in the Cascade Area electric system as hereinbefore recommended.

Mr. Simpson replied that the City has had an indication from PG&E that the desired information will be available by approximately Wednesday or Thursday (September 20-21) of this week. LAKE REDDING POWER PROJECT - Contract for Feasibility Study Electric Director Simpson advised Council that the City has received a matching fund grant from the Department of Energy for completion of a feasibility study of the Lake Redding Power Project. The contract obligates the City to pay $58,000.00 and the Department of Energy will reimburse the City $51,000.00. It is recommended that Council approve the contract with CH2M Hill for this feasibility study subject to approval by the Department of Energy, and authorize the Mayor to sign same. Councilman Pugh asked if this grant program is ongoing where the City receives credit for funds expended. Electric Director Simpson answered in the affirmative. In response to questions by Councilman Pugh regarding the depth of the feasibility study, Mr. Simpson replied that this is a very critical contract which has been discussed in detail with CH2M Hill. Mr. Simpson said he believes that CH2M Hill is fully aware of the importance of a complete and detailed study of all 13 tasks in this project as outlined in the Cooperative Agreement by the City of Redding and the U. S. Department of Energy dated January 5, 1978. He said this study will determine whether or not the Lake Redding Power Project is a viable project.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - General Plan Amendment GPA -2-77, Cascade Neighborhood Plan The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Demsher opened the Continued Public Hearing on the Cascade Neighborhood Plan. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Department Recommendation dated 9/14/78 The City Clerk advised Council that no written protests had been received. 281 Planning and Community Development Director Harris said that at the Public Hearing on August 7, 1978, Council continued the public hearing and referred the Cascade Neighborhood Plan back to the Planning Commission for review and comment. In the interim, the hydrologic study on Olney Creek has been received and is to be reviewed by the Planning Commission at a special study session during the first week in October. Mr. Harris noted that due to the substantial changes involved in several of the requests sub- mitted to Council, the staff feels the Cascade Advisory Committee should also be afforded an opportunity to review the requests and a meeting has been scheduled for September 20. Mr. Harris noted that with respect to Olney Creek, one of the very apparent flood -control methods that could reduce flooding and the public cost of floodworks is the construction of a flood -water storage pond behind the ACID Canal to regulate downstream flood flows. The feasibility of this solution is a key element in depict- ing the amount of greenway along Olney Creek on the Cascade Plan and in the selection of a channel design for Olney Creek. Mr. Harris said that in order to determine the feasibility of the storage - pond concept, it will be necessary to do some preliminary design engineering. The estimated cost of this engineering is $3,500 which can be paid for through the Community Development Program. It is the recommendation of the staff that the public hearing be con- tinued and readvertised for October 16, 1978, and that Council authorize the expenditure of funds to determine the feasibility of the storage pond. Councilwoman Gard said she agreed with the procedure being followed. Councilman Pugh said he believes it would relieve a great burden on the Planning Department and property owners if the Plan is adopted. He indicated that if it appears that there are additional unresolved problems raised during the hearing on October 16, 1978, perhaps certain portions of the Cascade area, where no problems exist, should be zoned. Mr. Harris concurred. Mayor Demsher requested a show of hands from persons present at the public hearing desiring to be heard regarding the Cascade Neighbor- hood Plan. Many persons responded. Mr. Demsher said Council prefers to take testimony at one time instead of in fragments and asked if persons would object to giving their testimony at the continued hearing on October 16. There was an indication from the audience that it is an inconvenience for them to have to return. Councilman Pugh advised the audience that it is more advantageous for Council if new information is presented to either the Advisory Com- mittee or the Planning Commission prior to the hearing at Council level. He said if items are brought up for the first time at Council level, they must be referred to the Planning Commission or the Advisory Committee for consideration. Planning Director Harris advised those present that the Advisory Committee will be meeting on Wednesday evening, September 20, and the meeting is open to the public for input. It was ascertained, at this point, that most of those present in the audience were in attendance for consideration of the North Bonnyview Area Sewer Assessment District hearing, which area lies within the Cascade Neighborhood Plan, and is scheduled for hearing later this evening. 282 MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick authorizing expenditure of $3,500 for a feasibility study of the flood -water storage pond as hereinbefore recommended, and that the Public Hearing be continued and readvertised for 7:30 P.M., Monday, October 16, 1978.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - North Bonnyview Area Sewer Assessment District The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Demsher opened the Public Hearing re North Bonnyview Area Sewer Assessment District. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Posting - Notice of Public Hearing \ Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Publication - Construction Bids Affidavit of Publication - Notice Inviting Bids on the Bonds The City Clerk advised that written protests had been received from the following persons: J. H. & Nina Bidwell, Corner of Bonnyview and Bidwell Roads Elsie & Charles W. Ebberts, 2869 No. Bonnyview Rd. Phyllis Jordan, 2920 No. Bonnyview Rd. Phyllis & Kenneth C. Jordan, 2920 No. Bonnyview Rd. Mr. & Mrs. Jim Miller, 4423 East Bonnyview Rd. Wilma G. (Beidleman) Ockerman, 4580 E. Bonnyview Rd. Henry H. & Myrtle Pickrell, 4472 E. Bonnyview Rd. Clifford R. Smith, 2766 No. Bonnyview Rd. Let the record show that in addition to the above -referenced letters of protest, a letter was received from June M. Brown, which letter was not received in the City Clerk's office until September 19, 1978. Said letter is now on file in the office of the City Clerk. Councilwoman Gard asked Sam Sperry, City of Redding Bond Counsel, to briefly explain assessment district proceedings for the benefit of those in the audience who may not be familiar with them. Mr. Sperry said that under the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913, the City Council of a General Law City can initiate proceedings for an assessment district in two ways: 1. The County Health Officer can advise that there exists a condition which is hazardous to public health and sewer facilities are necessary to eliminte that situation; or, 2. A petition and waiver can be circulated inviting persons to sign indicating interest in the proposed project and waiving proceedings under the 1931 Majority Protest Act. Mr. Sperry noted that Council is proceeding in the North Bonnyview Area Sewer Assessment District following provisions of Procedure 2. The petition, when signed by more than 60% of the affected area, leads to: 1. Design and structure. of the sewer assessment district; 2. Allocation of costs; to affected property owners. 285 Mr. Sperry said the petition is a means of starting an assessment district and that there is no provision for an election or vote to be held as to whether or not a district is to be formed. He said a notice of hearing is mailed to all property owners involved, construction bids are opened, and the public hearing is held for property owners to indicate their protests, if any. Associate Civil Engineer Hastings reviewed the Assessment District Map for the No. Bonnyview Area Sewer Assessment District which indicated property owners who signed the petition, non -signers of the petition, and those protesting the proceedings. Mr. Hastings noted that the district, with its present boundaries, will serve the most people for the least expenditure and that those boundaries had been discussed at two neighborhood meetings. He said that staff members have met with Housing Administrator Earl Henson to determine whether poverty -level property owners would be eligible for any form of grant. Mr. Hastings discussed the method of assessment used. A $600 basic benefit was applied to each parcel. Multiples of $600 were added for more than one dwelling or if the property could be subdivided. The balance of the cost was then split in half, with half of the cost allocated on a front footage basis, and half on an acreage basis. This method appears to be the most fair to all people involved. Councilman Fulton asked why the district did not extend farther south. Mr. Hastings replied that interest began to wane at about the point where the boundary is shown. He said as interest and need arises, additional districts can be formed. A formal written protest from Faye and Clifford Snell was submitted to Council at this point. Councilwoman Gard asked what percentage of protests were made. Mr. Hastings said that he hadn't calculated that percentage, however, he noted that 105 out of 140 signed the petition, which is 72.8% of the district. Councilwoman Gard said it appears that it is about three to one in favor of the district. In response as to whether any of the protesters were signers of the petition, Mr. Hastings replied that two of them are - the Beidlemans (Ockerman) and the Millers. Councilman Fulton asked what the average assessment is. Mr. Hastings replied that in the area around the Bonnyview School, the assessments run from $1900 to $2500. On the west side of East Bonnyview Road, they run from $2100 to $5200. Dale Watson, representative of the Shasta County Health Department, appeared before Council. Mr. Watson said that some years ago, the County canvassed the Cascade area with questionnaires and found that some 20% of the households in the area had trouble with their septic tanks from time to time. He said it is an unpleasant and unhealthy situation. He indicated that the area with the greatest concentration of problems is the area under study now. The Wilsey Drive area west of the Canal is another area with pressing problems. Mr. no Watson acknowledged that it is an area with a high watertable level which prevents the sewage from absorbing into the soil. He concurs with the need for the district and said the area is in great need of public sewage facilities. Terry Brumley, Bidwell Road, said that the drainage system in his area doesn't function properly during the winter time and the sewage appears above the ground and stays there until it evaporates. Fie indicated he favors the district. Ken Jordan, 2920 No. Bonnyview Road, said he has not experienced any sewer problems since 1951. He asked if the hookup to his property would come where the sewer trunk goes down his property. Mr. Jordan objected to being assessed for his entire acreage and questioned why he couldn't be assessed only for the parcel on which his dwelling is constructed. Roger Lout, 5145 Bidwell Road, said he is new to the area and when he purchased his home was not advised of any sewer problems. He questioned why information of this sort was not available to him. He said he purchased his property in April of 1978. Councilman Pugh advised Mr. Lout that the City gets its property owner lists from the County Assessment rolls which are revised annually on the first day of March. He said it is unfortunate that this record is only updated yearly. The City Clerk advised Council that letters that are returned as non -deliverable are checked out for possible new owners. City Attorney Murphy asked Mr. Lout if he was for or against the district and he answered that he was in favor of it. Phyllis Jordan, 2920 No. Bonnyview Road,said that more than one person had been in touch with her questioning whether their signature on the petition meant the sewer idea would be placed on a ballot for vote. Mrs. Jordan said she would like to see the petition recalled and a new one circulated because of some misunderstandings at the outset. She indicated that they are experiencing more problems with the storm drains that do not adequately handle the water than from the sewer. She agreed that the Bidwell area needs sewers but said their area did not. Faye Snell, 2856 Bonnyview Road, said they have traced the water that backs up in their backyard to one pipe that gets plugged up. She urged care of the storm drains. Mrs. Snell said that since North Bonnyview Road is a private road, she questioned the proposal to construct sewers there when upkeep of the road is never done. Nina Bidwell, 2672 No. Bonnyview Road, said they had resided at this location 47 years and have had considerable difficulty with their drainage. She felt that if the septic tanks are constructed properly and there is proper drainage, that would be adequate. She did not object to the sewers but was hoping for a grant to assist with the cost. She noted that there are quite a few retired persons and poor people in this area who are unable to pay the high assessments for sewers. She felt another petition would be advisable or a vote taken to determine whether or not there should be a district. Clifford Smith, 2766 No. Bonnyview Road, requested that his protest letter dated August 21, 1978, and on file with the City Clerk, be read expressing his objections. The City Clerk read his letter as requested. Glenn Reed, 5173 Bidwell Road, said that in the Bidwell Road area, the easterly portion of his parcel is flooded with water in the 287 winter when the rains come. He said they need sewers badly as does the area around the Bonnyview School. He felt that whether or not the rest of the district goes for sewers or not didn't matter to him, but the Bidwell Road area needs the district. John Morrill, 5380 East Bonnyview Road, said they have had their septic tank pumped out about three times in the last 1� years and they have a water drainage problem also. He said that when one has to leave his residence because of the inadequacy of the facilities, it is time for a sewer assessment district to help alleviate.the problems. Myrtle Pickrell, 4472 East Bonnyview Road, expressed similar concern to that in her letter on file with the City Clerk dated September 15, 1978. She questioned why a grant could not be obtained to assist with the costs over the entire district and not just those at poverty level. She said an Environmental Impact Report should be prepared for that area. Mary Tipton, 5161 East Bonnyview Road, said she had lived on her property for many years and planned to spend the rest of her life there. She said she has experienced no problems with her septic tank; however, supports the sewer assessment district. Councilwoman Gard said it appears that the questions of grant eligibility and the provisions of CEQA need to be clarified. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Associate Civil Engineer Hastings said that presently no grants are available. He said they were hopeful that individual grants might be available to those at poverty levels; however, that no grant is available to cover the costs for the entire district. City Attorney Murphy said that the negative declaration regarding this project was approved by the Board of Administrative Review on March 6, 1978, which means that the Planning Department, represented by B.A.R., after notice and hearing, made a finding that this project would not have a significant adverse effect on the neighborhood. Councilman Pugh said that the initial study, prepared prior to the adoption of the negative declaration, covers some 21 different categories pertaining to the impact on the environment. Councilman Kirkpatrick asked about the reference made to the pipe which has been damaged. Mr. Arness replied that the trunk line was constructed approximately 11-12 years ago. He said it is probable that vegetation and sediment have filled in and could be causing the problem. Councilman Kirkpatrick asked if the road referred to is a private one. Mr. Hastings said that the road is private and the City has acquired rights of entry to each property except the Jordan property. The sewer line will be constructed in the road and the road will be returned to its original state. City Attorney Murphy explained the condemnation procedure which allows the City to acquire property which is needed for public benefit. W Bond Counsel Sperry advised Council that only one construction bid on this project was received and recommended adoption of the prepared resolution rejecting that bid, and calling for new construction bids. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick that Resolution No. 78-168 be adopted, a resolution rejecting bids received and calling for new construction bids in the North Bonny - view Area Sewer Assessment District, Bid Schedule No. 1048. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Council Members - Fulton, Gard, Kirkpatrick, Pugh, and Demsher Noes: Council Members - None Absent: Council Members - None Resolution No. 78-168 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. Mr. Sperry advised Council that at the Bond Bid Opening held this afternoon, five competitive bids were received. The apparent low, bidder was Wulff Hansen at a 7.14% interest rate. Mr. Sperry recommended that Council authorize him to advise the low bidder that the City will negotiate with.them in good faith for appropriate terms, of a bond sale. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Kirkpatrick approving the aforestated recommendation. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Mayor Demsher advised those present at the hearing that it is the opinion of Council that this project should go forward. Councilwoman Gard concurred and said that even though Council realizes it can be a financial hardship, the public health problem cannot be ignored. She said this area is one with a long history of problems.
