The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by Mayor Fulton with the following Councilmen present: Anderson, Demsher, Gard, and Fulton. Absent: Councilman Pugh. Also present were City Manager Brickwood, Assistant City Manager Courtney, City Attorney Murphy, Public Works .Director Arness, Planning and Community Development Director Harris, Police Chief Whitmer, Housing Administrator Henson, Associate Civil Engineer Hastings, Traffic Engineer Hamilton, Associate Planner Perry, Airports Manager McCall, Assistant Planner King, and City Clerk Brayton. APPROVAL OF MINUTES MOTION: Made by Councilman Demshe.r, , seconded by .Councilwoman Gard approving the minutes of the regular meeting of January 3, 1977 as mailed to each Councilman. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS Pr -ft- Ranrl In a communication to Council dated December 27, 1976, Pete Rand requested that the area west of Riviera .Drive be considered for a neighborhood park. Planning and Community Development Director Harris advised J Council that a park in that area is proposed in the Community Development Program, and money has been budgeted for that purpose. Staff has been proceeding with environmental clear- ance, and it is now necessary to finalize on a specific site which will be submitted to Council. Councilwoman Gard said that this is a perfect example of a subdivision being developed with no provision for park land. She feels Council should adopt an ordinance which would re- quire a subdivider to dedicate certain land for park use or .,in lieu payment in smaller subdivisions. This would preclude the necessity of the City having to deal with this issue. Pete Rand said he would like to be involved in any decision for a park. Shasta County Ambulance Society In a letter to Council dated January 12, 1977, the Shasta County Ambulance Society requested Council to amend the rate schedule for ambulance service in Redding. a X03 Todd Fineberg, Attorney for the Ambulance Society, asked Council to refer this request to the City's Ambulance Committee. He noted that representatives from the Board of Supervisors have arranged to meet with the Ambulance Society on January 28, and expressed the hope that City representatives can attend this meeting. The City Manager will arrange to have a City representative at the meeting on January 28. 1 1 1 11 PETITION RE BUENAVENTURA PROJECT City Attorney Murphy read a petition filed by 15 property owners affected by the Buenaventura Project. The petition expresses the need for an independent panel for filing complaints in regard to the offers made for property to be acquired by the City. Mr. Murphy advised Council that certain problems have arisen regarding acquisition of this property because of rules that the City must operate 3S under since Federal money is being used in this project. HUD requires that the property be appraised by an independent appraiser, and his appraisal reviewed by a review appraiser (also independent) and, based on these two appraisals, the City makes an offer. Such offers were made in writing and, as the first offer is based on the appraisal value, the City cannot offer more. The only alternative, if the owner is not satisfied, is to let the matter be taken to court. Mr. Murphy said that another problem is that a resident owner receives a special benefit of up to $15,000 to pay the cost of relocation; whereas a non-resident property owner is not entitled to this benefit and receives only the fair market value for his property. Mr. Murphy acknowledged that the $15, 000, plus the fair market value of the property, does not always provide sufficient money to provide property equal in size to the property in which the owner is living. He also noted that some property owners have indicated they do not wish to move, regardless of the price offered. Art Taylor, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Martin Luther King Center, spoke of the problems which have arisen because so many senior citizens are unable to find suitable alternate housing with the money being offered, and with their limited income they are unable to make up the difference. He questioned whether the project is worth disrupting the lives of the people in the area and asked Council to re- study the issue and reverse its action with respect to acquiring property in the area. Kathy Brooks, Director of the Martin Luther King Center, stated that there is a strong feeling among property owners and residents that Buenaventura will never be built; also that Mercy Hospital is going to further develop property in the area, resulting in increased values , and therefore the property owners want just compensation. Miss Brooks also alleged that the money being offered is not sufficient to permit owners to purchase homes within the City -- that they would have to live outside the City of Redding. Councilman Demsher expressed surprise that residents do not now wish the City to go forward with this project. He referred to the public hearing held in September, 1976 regarding this matter where the entire procedure was outlined and he felt it was clearly under- stood. At that meeting the primary concern of the people attending was when the acquisition would get underway and when they could expect to receive their money. Councilman Anderson said he could understand that some property owners might not want to accept the offers made but was surprised to learn that some property owners do not wish to move, regardless of the price offered. The following persons appeared and expressed dissatisfaction with the offers made for their property: Mrs. Leo Coleman, Jr. , H. E. James, Serena Runnels, Francine Grant, Purley Harrison, and Willestine Turner. In addition, Francine Grant said she is opposed to the proposed road. She spoke of the traffic problems that Buena- ventura Boulevard would generate. 12 Councilwoman Gard asked Mr. Murphy if the City could stop the project at this point and what alternatives were available to Council. Mr. Murphy suggested that the matter be held over until the meeting of February 7 to allow staff to prepare a report delineating alternatives. Mr. Murphy admitted that there are problems. Councilman Demsher feels there are three issued involved: 1) There is no housing available within a reasonable price range; 2) some people have found that although it seemed appealing at first, now they don't wish to move; and 3) there is some misunderstanding and suspicion about the project. He said there is no speculation beyond the purpose for which the City is acquiring the property -- to build the road. Councilman Demsher favors re-examining the project with the view of turning the project around. Councilman Anderson said he would like more information as to how many of the people don't wish to move and how many would be willing to move if they could obtain adequate money for alternate housing. He would also like to know if there is a possibility of the City putting more money into the project. He warned property owners that if more money is provided and alternate housing is found, they could expect higher property taxes . Mayor Fulton appointed Councilmen Pugh and Demsher to work with staff and the community on this project and report back to Council at the meeting of February 7th. Councilman Demsher said he would be unavailable for a meeting until the first week of February. PUBLIC HEARING - Improvements on Wyndham Lane ounce man n erson abstained from discussion and voting. on this matter. The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the Public Hearing re Improvement of Wyndham Lane. The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing Memorandum from Director of Planning and Community Development dated January 13, 1977 The City Clerk advised Council that letters of opposition con- cerning the improvements have been received from the following persons: Dudley Munns Robert and Linda B1agg J. B. Grimes John Moore Archie Thomas John and Rita DiMatteo A. H. Thomas Mr. and Mrs. Louis Franchetti Daisy Jones William E. Leach Eva Kennicott (Reed) Calvin and Lois Carpenter Evelyn Enger Associate Planner Perry reviewed staff's memorandum to Council dated January 13, 1977 pertaining to the improvement of Wyndham Lane, which memorandum is made a part of these minutes by refer- ence. In order to defray the cost of the needed improvements, it is the opinion of staff that the best procedure available is that pro- vided by Section 66484 of the Subdivision Map Act, whereby a local agency, by ordinance, may establish a benefit district and require payment of a fee as a condition of approval of a final map or issuance of a building permit. The fees collected would be used to defray the estimated cost of constructing a portion of a thoroughfare shown on the Redding General Plan. 1 1 1 1 1 1 Mr. Perry noted that if Council elects to proceed with this concept, an enabling ordinance must be adopted. Such an ordinance will be submitted to Council for consideration at the meeting of February 71. A Vu Graph was shown illustrating the 900' of Wyndham Lane proposed to be improved. City Attorney Murphy spoke of the new provisions in the Sub- division Map Act which permits the establishment of improve- ment districts to provide access to a subdivision. The following persons appeared before Council in opposition to the improvements of Wyndham Lane as proposed: Dudley Munns Eva Kennicott (Reed) J. B. Grimes William Leach Milton Kite Calvin Carpenter Evelyn Enger A. G. Bilton John Moore The main concern expressed is that a bottleneck will be created to the east and west on Wyndham Lane with the improvement of only 900' . Several property owners suggested that an alternate access road to the area be provided. Others feel that improve- ment of the road will bring about more traffic problems. Mr. Leach believes that if the improvements stop at his property line, water will be diverted onto his land, and feels the improve- ment project should include his property. Mr. Perry explained that a subdivision is proposed to be developed on the north side of the road at the point where the improvement project ends, and the developer will be required to improve the road on which his subdivision fronts. John Moore's concern regarding the project is the fact that the area is an archealogical site. He feels that before any new road work is undertaken the City should include archealogical 'studies in the environmental impact report. Ken. Wahl' said. he had written the original letter concerning traffic problems on Wyndham Lane and, although he agrees in part with statements made by the people who oppose the improvements, he is concerned with the safety of his and other children who must traverse Wyndham Lane to get to school, and believes that some- thing must be done. Lloyd Osgood said he has purchased the"roper.fy'on Wyndham:..' Lane referred to by Mr. Perry and is anxious to move forward with his subdivision development; however, no maps are being approved until the traffic problem is resolved. He noted that his property will assume a large portion of the assessment. Ron Mygrant, a developer, favors the proposed improvements but believes the cost should be borne by all the people in the area, not only the developers. MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilwoman G.a r d that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes with Councilman Anderson abstaining. 13 14 PUBLIC HEARING - Rezoning Application RZ-12-76 The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the Public Hearing on Rezoning Application RZ-12-76 by W.

PETITION - re Windy Way MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilwoman Gard referring the petition for road improvement of Windy Way to the Department of Public Works for appropriate action. The Vote-. Unanimous Ayes 3sl PETITION - re Sewer Improvements - Joaquin Ave. and E1 Portal Dr. A petition was received from property owners along portions of Joaquin Avenue and E1 Portal Drive requesting that assessment district pro- ceedings be initiated for sanitary sewer improvements. 5 ili7 Associate Civil Engineer Hastings advised Council that one of the property owners, the Clays at 745 Joaquin Avenue, need immediate help. Their property is located at a low spot in the area and is re- ceiving septic tank water from surrounding properties. Their septic tank, even with frequent pumping out, is unable to handle the volume, and the house is practically unlivable. As a temporary measure until a sewer line can be built for the area, it is recommended that the Clays be permitted to construct an individual lift station to hook into the ex- isting sewer line on Joaquin Avenue. The Clays would pay for the lift station and would be assessed the standard area charge for hooking into the sewer line. However, at the time the new sewer line is constructed, they would be assessed only the front footage charge, having already paid the area assessment charge. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Demsher approving the recommendation regarding the Clay property. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes Ron Walters, who resides at 3932.E1 Portal Drive, said he fears he could very well have the s�me problem if property near his, for which septic tank permits have bieen issued, is developed. The City Attorney noted thlat unless such houses have already been started, they should not be built until the sewer problem is resolved. MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman Demsher referring the petition re assessment district proceedings for Joaquin Avenue and El Portal Drive to the Department of Public Works for appropriate action.

BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR Economy Towing Kenneth Reagin, Economy Towing, complained to Council that nine months ago he had asked to be placed on rotation with the Police Department and he was finally placed on the list. How- ever, Conroy Towing was added with no waiting period at all, even though the owner of Conroy Towing has a financial interest in AA Towing and AA Towing is on the rotation list. Mr. Reagin believes this is unfair. Mr. Murphy stated that he was advised that Conroy Towing had an application in before Mr. Reagin; however, he said he did not know that Conroy had a financial interest in AA Towing. Mr. Murphy added that the City is drafting an ordinance which will address itself to the method of establishing a rotation list for the Redding Police Department, and it will set forth stringent standards. Police Chief Whitmer concurred that there is a need for such an ordinance and he is hopeful that the towing companies will do as the ambulance companies, whereby the police can call one central number when a tow truck is needed and let the towing companies handle their internal affairs.
