Councilman Demsher reported that last week he and Councilwoman Gard and Housing Administrator Henson met at the Martin Luther King Center with people affected by land acquisition in the Buena- ventura Project. Mr. Demsher said that testimony heard indicated that the amount the City is able to pay for the property, combined with the relocation payment, is not sufficient to allow owner occu- pants to find adequate housing of comparable size. The spread is between $5,000 and $7,000 per unit affected. Mr. Henson has done a considerable amount of investigation of real estate prices and con- curs that there has been an increase in prices since the program was inaugurated. Mr. Demsher said the Committee would not make a recommendation to Council this evening but plans to hold a meeting with the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, City Attorney, and Director of Planning and Community Development to determine if there is some fair and equitable way to resolve the problem. He further stated that there was general agreement among the property owners present that the project should go forward but that Council should look carefully at the amount of money the property owners would be offered for the sale of their property and relocation. The following persons appeared before Council, expressing their concerns as indicated: John Clayborne - feels the City should not dictate price to be paid for property, that the owner should have some voice in the matter Mrs. Rodriguez -believes prices offered are too low; cannot relocate on the amount offered Art Taylor -alleged that scare tactics are being used to intimidate property owners. Wants people represented at Council Committee -Staff meeting (Was advised that Council is elected to represent people and that a meeting had been held with affected people) T. E. James - said that people need more money for their property Kathy Brooks - asked that figures used in measuring houses be rechecked Mrs. Leo Coleman - noted that she has two questions that have riot been answered. She did not elaborate on that statement Mr. Borgnis - complained of low appraisal for his property versus property to the east and west of his property Purley Harrison - is dissatisfied with price offered; stated that people do not want to relocate; requested realignment of Buenaventura Blvd. around her business Mr. Leroy Anderson stated that staff has worked diligently on this project and he thinks the project should go forward. He.expressed confidence that everything can be worked out. Mr. Curtis Coleman said that Purley Harrison cannot speak for everyone in stating that people do not want to relocate. He believes the matter is all settled except for the amount of money to be received by owner occupants. 27 Mrs. Isaac Lowe read a letter from the Redding Branch of the N.A.A.C.P. urging that property owners receive a fair price for their property, based on equitable appraisals. Mr. Demsher reiterated that there would be a recommendation made to Council at the meeting of February 22nd with respect to land acquisition in the Buenaventura Project.

REQUEST FOR LEASE EXTENSION - State Forest Service �I City Manager Brickwood reported that the State Forest Service has re- quested an extension of their lease of property at 1050 Parkview Avenue for an additional 10 year period. Their present lease expires in 1985. Mr. Brickwood recommends that, since the City can make very valuable use of the property by either adding it to the South City Park complex or using it for the expansion of other City facilities, Council authorize him to notify the Forest Service that it is the City's intention not to extend the lease beyond its termination date. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Demsher approving the recommendation of the City Manager. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes LAKE REDDING GOLF COURSE City Manager Brickwood reviewed his memorandum to Council dated February 3, 1977 concerning the proposal from John and Betty Merrill re the possible sale of the Lake Redding Golf Course to the City of Redding, which memorandum is made a part of these minutes by refer- ence. Mr. Brickwood set forth the following four options which Council may wish to consider regarding the proposal: 29 Option 1. Decide, for whatever reasons, that the City is not interested in acquiring either Mr. Merrill's lease interest or the land. Option 2. Consider the purchase of the course business and lease from Mr. Merrill and continue the course under muni- cipal operation for the remainder of the lease period. Option 3. Consider the purchase of the land, including Mr. Merrill's interest, and continue the golf course under muni- cipal operation until such time as other facilities which pro- vide a wider range of use are available. Option 4. Hold proposal in abeyance and instruct staff to re- search and investigate the possibility of Federal or State Open Space funding. Mr. Brickwood noted that he is not making any recommendation regarding the proposal, but did stress the magnitude of projects and the additional costs generated by the last two major annexa- tions and the responsibility of the City to see that parks and recreational facilities are made available in the newly annexed areas. Mr. Merrill stated he felt that Mr. Brickwood's presentation was fair and equitable but that there were some areas which needed clarification. He thinks there is a conflect between the advantages of a full length course and an executive course, stating that if the Lake Redding course is acquired, there is no reason that it should interfere with plans to have a full length course. He pointed out the advantages of an executive course, noting that beginning golfers and senior citizens generally prefer shorter fairways. He stated that just as the City provides ball parks, tennis courts, a swimming pool, and playgrounds for its citizens, it has some responsibility to provide for people who play golf and who are not physically able to play a long course and/or are not financially able to rent a cart. He also noted that no reference was made as to potential revenue from the course which would offset the cost factor. _ Jo Flaharty spoke in favor of acquisition by the City, stating that it would be an extension of Lake Redding Park. She feels it would be a shame to have the property revert to low-cost housing. Mr. Carl Shirley also favors City acquisition. He spoke of the increase in property values in the City and mentioned the possi- bility that some time in the future it might not be feasible to maintain it as a golf course. Councilman Anderson said his main objection is that he feels the City has spent all it can afford on park land, and that future capital outlay for park land should be in the Enterprise area. Councilwoman Gard agreed that capital outlay for parks should be directed to the Enterprise Area. Councilman Demsher concurred that the City has had to reorganize its priorities after these last two major annexations. Councilman Pugh noted that if the City were to take over the Merrill lease it would have to operate the course for the balance of the lease (18 years) which would forestall the City developing an 18 hole course which has the capability to accommodate those people who wish to play a short course. He mentioned the need for neighborhood parks, and said he feels that subject course can be operated by private enterprise. 30 Mr. Brickwood was asked of the possibility of obtaining a State or Federal Grant. He replied that there is no way of knowing what will be available in the future. Councilman Demsher said he favors researching the possibility for grants and then Council could take another look at the proposal. Councilman Anderson said he would be interested only if it includes land acquisition. Councilman Pugh said that if such funds are available, he believes Council must consider total priorities, such as the Enterprise pool. MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Demsher that staff research the possibility of obtaining State or Federal funds for acquisition of Lake Redding Golf Course, taking into consideration other priorities, and report back to Council on March 7. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes CITY OF REDDING INSURANCE PROGRAM Assistant City Manager Courtney reviewed his memorandum to Council dated February 3, 1977 with recommendations regarding the City of Redding Insurance program, which memorandum is made a part of these minutes by reference. He noted that with the annexation of the Cascade and Enterprise areas, the City's insurance risks have been increased substantially. In addition, insurance rates are escalating as a result of large awards to claimants. ( Mr. Courtney recommended that a special committee be appointed, composed of Vice Mayor Anderson, the City Manager, City Attorney, and Assistant City Manager to participate in the development of a comprehensive recommendation to Council with respect to Errors and Omissions coverage and ''Differences in Conditions"'coverage, as well as a .Multi -Peril package policy. Mr. Courtney noted that he has authorized the placement of Blanket Excess Liability Insurance coverage with the American Reinsurance Company for the period beginning February 1, 1977 and ending December 31, 1977,, and that he can obtain $5 million Excess Airports Liability coverage for $5500 for 3 years.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR Magnolia -Court Neighborhood Plan Petitions were received, signed by 177 residents of the Magnolia - Court Neighborhood, expressing concern about the development pressures on their neighborhood, and requesting Council to de- clare a moratorium on multiple -family unit building permits until the Magnolia -Court Neighborhood Plan is adopted. City Attorney Murphy reported that the State Planning Act provides for the adoption of an urgency ordinance which would prohibit multiple family residential uses for a period of four months in a described area; however, any extension of the ordinance after four months would require notice to be given to all affected parties and a public hearing would have to be held. 35 Councilman Pugh asked how long the Neighborhood Plan has been under consideration by the City. Mr. Harris replied that it has been under consideration for at least a year and a half. As of this date the Planning Com- mission has approved the conceptional plan so that staff can proceed with the environmental impact report, which is being worked on at the present time. Dave Williams strongly opposes the adoption of an ordinance that would prohibit the building of multiple family dwellings for a period of four months, asserting that it is taking away a person's right to develop his property. He feels that people residing in "R-1" zones are trying to exert pressure through- out the entire neighborhood and that the Neighborhood Plan is too large. He complained that no advance notice of this ordi- nance was given to anyone. Carroll Hammar also spoke out in opposition to adoption of the ordinance, claiming that it takes rights away from property owners. Mr. and Mrs. Woodruff, Mr. Licker, and Mr. Mathis spoke in favor of the ordinance as it would give staff time to complete the Neighborhood Plan. Mr. Harris was asked by Council if it is likely that the Plan can be completed in four months. Mr. Harris replied that it is difficult to say because of public hearings that must be held, but that he would hope that staff could meet the deadline.
