"911" EMERGENCY TELEPHONE PROGRAM
Assistant City Manager Courtney reviewed his memorandum to Council dated
September 11, 1978. 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. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes
278
Mayor Demsher asked Mr. Simpson what had transpired on acquisition of
the Enterprise PG&E facilities since the last Council meeting.
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.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard approving
the contract with CH2M Hill for a feasibility study on the Lake Redding
Power Project, subject to approval by the Department of Energy, and
authorizing the Mayor to sign same. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
DESIGN OF THE NORTH SIDE SUBSTATION - Agreement with R. W. Beck
Electric Director Simpson said it is his recommendation that Council approve
an agreement in the amount of $22,500.00 between the City of Redding and
R.W. Beck for design of the 25,000 kilowatt North Side Substation, and
authorize the Mayor to sign said agreement.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Fulton approving
the aforestated recommendation and authorizing the Mayor to sign said
agreement on behalf of the City of Redding. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP - Lake Boulevard Subdivision, Unit No. 3
Planning and Community Development Director Harris said that at its
regular meeting of September 2, 1978, the Planning Commission granted
Brent Owen permission to create 80 lots on property located southeast
of Lake Boulevard Subdivision, Unit No. 1, at the end of Panorama Drive,
subject to 17 conditions. Council was provided a list of the conditions.
The area was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Harris said the subdivision is
an extension of Lake Boulevard Subdivision, initiated by T. R. Woods.
The new building sites will be located on the ridge extending eastward
from the end of Panorama Drive. The applicant is proposing that the
area along Sulphur Creek and the fork of Sulphur Creek on the north
side of the subdivision that extends to Panorama Drive be dedicated in
fee to the City for open space and recreational purposes. This dedication
would provide a key link in the future urban trail system along Sulphur
Creek and would provide two trailheads within Lake Boulevard Subdivision.
Councilman Pugh asked about the potential for additional access to this
area.
Mr. Harris replied that the question of access has been reviewed in detail
with the developer, and year -around access does not appear feasible,
although there is emergency access. Mr. Harris said the Commission is
concerned with fire danger because of the open space and steep slopes and

PARKING PROHIBITION - West Side of East Street, Opposite Lincoln Street
Traffic Engineer Hamilton said that in regular session on September 11,
1978, the Traffic and Parking Commission considered the prohibition of
parking on the west side of East Street in the area where the two
southbound lanes merge into one on a curvilinear section. Mr. Sturmer,
owner of the vacant northern parcel, said he believes the prohibition
will have a negative effect on his proposed apartment development, but
recognizes the problem and thought that the prohibition, if installed,
should go farther south. Mr. Hamilton said the Commission voted unani-
mously to recommend to Council that parking be prohibited on the west
side of East Street for a distance of approximately 250 feet south of
the south curb line of Lincoln Street extended. The owner of the southern
parcel involved, Mr. Robert Schuppert, has been contacted by telephone
and voiced no objection.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard approving
the aforestated recommendation, and instructing the City Attorney to
prepare the necessary resolution. 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.

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 -

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.
