AMBULANCE RATES
Councilman Pugh and Mayor Fulton abstained from discussion and
voting on this item.
Councilman Demsher reported that two meetings of the Ambulance
Committee (May 11 and 13) were held to review ambulance rates.
Mr. Demsher noted that when the ambulance rates were increased
in April of this year the Committee agreed to review the rates in
six months and that it was his recommendation at that time that the
Committee meet within a month. The Committee consists of two
County Supervisors and two members of Council.
Mr. Demsher stated that the three ambulance entities have indicated
that they are not making it on the adjusted rates established in April,
and he is satisfied that the facts presented to the Committee are valid.
He mentioned that the services rendered in Redding are good and he
feels the City and County have an obligation to provide adequate rates
to assure that the companies can stay in business. The Committee
recommends the rates be increased as follows, effective June 1, 1977:
Service
Basic rate for any stretcher patient
Second or any additional sit-up patient
Emergency case, additional charge
Mileage charge to be added to basic rate
Night charge (between 7 P.M. - 7 A.M.)
additional charge

10.00 per each add'l
15 min. or fraction
thereof
Actual add'1 cost
35.00
20.00
Basic rate
20.00 per hour
The Committee further recommends that these rates be reviewed again
in October 1977, and that an audit of the companies' records be made
so that some criteria can be established for making judgments for future
increases. The cost of the audit would be shared equally by the City,
County, and ambulance companies.
Councilman Anderson said he does not believe the hospital records are
designed to give a true record of ambulance costs and he would be in-
clined to favor the idea of auditing one firm; i.e. , Redding Ambulance.
He added that perhaps the hospitals can adjust their accounting systems
to develop information that can be used in the future.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilwoman
Gard that Lhe increase in rates be approved by resolution and that the
matter of the audit be referred back to the Committee. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes with Councilman Pugh and Mayor Fulton abstaining.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Councilwoman
Gard that Resolution No. 77-82 be adopted, a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Redding establishing an amended uniform maximum
rate schedule for the operation of ambulances in the City of Redding.

PRELIMINARY BUDGET - 1977-78 Fiscal Year
1J` City Manager Brickwood advised Council that the 1977-78 Preliminary
Budget would be delivered to them tomorrow. A Budget Study Session
was set for 2:00 P.M. , Wednesday, May 18, in the Mayor's Conference
Room at City Hall.
ALTA MESA PARK
Parks and Recreation Director Riley reviewed his report to Council
I„ dated May 13 regarding lighting of the softball facility at Alta Mesa
2 V� Park by the Enterprise Slow Pitch Softball Association. Mr. Riley
q0 pointed out that staff recommended to the Parks and Recreation
Commission that the night lighting project be discontinued because of
the close proximity of the baseball field to homes, traffic congestion
on Alta Mesa Drive, problems created by the public address system,
etc. Staff further recommended that the City remove the existing
light pole and fencing and provide an alternate location for the Soft-
ball Association.

Parks and Recreation Commission Chairman Richard Riis spoke
of the immediate need of the ball field and noted that the Association
has already developed the field to a large degree; i. e. , they have
provided a sprinkling system, rest rooms, dugout areas, fencing,
two parking areas, etc. He also stated that it will not generate a
large group of spectators; it is not anticipated that the crowd will
fill the parking lots provided. He stressed the need for money for
other park projects and does not favor the use of City funds to try
to develop an alternate site.
Mrs. Lulu Parsons of 2143 Galaxy Way noted that there are not too
many parks in the Enterprise area and asked if the park would re-
vert back to the Walter H. Potter Estate if it is not used for the
purpose set forth in the deed. She is not in favor of its use for
softball.
City Attorney Murphy said that the deed states that the property
shall be used for recreation uses, for public parks, and for youth
development, and that slow pitch baseball is a recreation use;
therefore he does not think there is cause for concern.
A resident from 2448 Saturn Way said he is against the use of the
park for softball because of noise, traffic, etc. He feels an EIR
is needed. He mentioned the existing traffic problem on Alta Mesa
Drive. He said he had attended all three meetings regarding this
matter and believes the Parks and Recreation Commission disregarded
the presentation of the City staff.
Councilwoman Gard said she feels the situation is very tight for night
use; the street is narrow and the close proximity of the houses to the
field is far from ideal. She noted that the Softball Association has been
most cooperative and she thinks the City should relocate the facility
someplace else in the City. She mentioned that women softball teams
also need a place to play.
Councilman Demsher was in agreement with Mrs. Gard. He does not
think the facility lends itself to intensive nighttime activity and is not
in favor of permitting it even for one year.
Councilman Anderson said he does not think the City will be able to
find funds to build another park; that it may be five years in the future.
He mentioned the need for funds for water, sewer, and electric im-
provements and fears the City will have to cut back on the parks and
recreation budget.
Councilman Pugh mentioned that the Parsons School program has
worked out and he recommends going forward and trying it out. He
feels that shutting off the ball park at this point would be unwise.
David McDonald of 2236 Saturn Way said that four ball games have
been played at the park this year and that there has never been more
than 16 cars in the parking lot at one time. He does not think the
traffic will be greatly increased. Mr. McDonald feels the Association
is community motivated and has contributed a great deal to the com-
munity.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman
Anderson approving the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation
Commission.

PUBLIC HEARING - Appeal of EIR Requirement -Parkside Manor Unit 2
Councilmen Anderson and Pugh abstained from discussion on this item.
C� The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Fulton opened the
In Public Hearing on the Appeal of EIR Requirement for Parkside
l•/
Manor, Unit 2.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Report of Director of Planning and Community Development
dated May 11, 1977
The City Clerk advised Council that no written protests had been
received.
The location of Parkside Manor, Unit 2, was shown on the Vu
Graph. Planning and Community Development Director Harris
reviewed his memorandum to Council dated May 11, 1977 per-
taining to the Appeal, which memorandum is made a part of these
minutes by reference. Mr. Harris noted that initially the
developer requested permission to create 98 single-family lots and
a 3.6 acre church site on a 26 acre site. The proposed density of
the residential area is 4.46 units per acre. The Planning Com-
mission determined that an EIR should be prepared; however, the
Commission indicated it would, in the interim, consider a 14 or 15
lot subdivision in connection with the church site. Subsequent to
that action, the developer submitted a revised tentative map
1

1.3 9
depicting a 39 lot subdivision with the church site and a pre -
commitment for an additional 13 lots. It was the opinion of
the Commission that the revised map did not alleviate the con-
cerns previously expressed, and the requirement for an EIR
was retained.
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff
that the appeal be denied and that an EIR be prepared for the
project.
Wayne Pullen, son of the developer, stated that the project
was planned prior to the Enterprise Annexation and that the
density was acceptable under the Shasta County General Plan.
He noted that the City has requested a Master Plan and EIR
for their total property, not just that to be developed immed-
iately. He further stated that it is not feasible from an engin-
eering standpoint to proceed with the 14 or 15 units around the
church as proposed by the Planning Commission. He mentioned
that an EIR is time consuming and expensive; that they have put
considerable work and money into the project and that they cannot
afford to proceed with an EIR unless they are permitted to pro-
ceed with some units. Mr. Pullen submitted letters from three
people who favor the continuation of the development and construc-
tion of homes in Parkside Manor, and said that 90 people have
inquired about purchasing new homes in the area.
John Pullen appeared before Council and said that an EIR had
been prepared for the County. He stated that they are willing to
provide a secondary access to the subdivision by extending to
Leonard Street, and that Leonard Street is adequate to handle
additional traffic generated by the subdivision..
A Mrs. Hendrickson spoke in favor of allowing the development
to proceed, noting that she has children who want to buy a home
and that a delay would increase the cost of the homes.
A fencing contractor and an air conditioning contractor spoke in
favor of the developer being allowed to proceed, citing the unem-
ployment that would be created if the project were delayed.
Members of Council acknowledged that the developer may have
satisfied the requirements of the County; however, as the area
is now within the City, it is the City's responsibility to insure
that problems are not created or compounded, and an EIR will
provide the necessary information to assure appropriate devel-
opment of the area.
In response to a question from Council, Mr. Harris stated that
EIR requirements are imposed by State law when a project will
have a significant impact on the area.
After extensive questioning by Council, the developer's repre-
sentatives indicated that they had not personally reviewed or
seen the EIR claimed to have been submitted to the County.
Wayne Pullen asked if Council has the option to go along with
the County General Plan and accept a negative declaration.
City Attorney Murphy said he would feel that Council would not
be acting within the spirit and intent of CEQA in.so doing.
Councilman Demsher said he definitely believes there is a need
for an EIR. He mentioned City services that will be required
and believes it is the responsibility of Council to make a judgment
based on the impact of the development on the community.

that, in view of the vote on this issue, they are required to

relationship with the developer; he has represented the developer
within the last two years.
Councilman Pugh then voted to uphold the recommendation of the
Commission and staff.
Councilman Anderson said that he is an employee and officer of
First Federal Savings and Loan and that the President of this
firm has been negotiating for First Federal Savings and Loan

Mr. Anderson was advised that it would be unnecessary for him
to vote as his vote would not change the decision of Council.

REQUESTS FOR ANNEXATION - Enterprise Annex No. 77-10
Planning and Community Development Director Harris advised Council
that owners of two parcels located north of Rancho and Churn Creek(D
Roads and west of Alta Mesa Drive have requested annexation to the
City of Redding. A map depicting the two parcels was shown on the Vu
Graph.
142
Parcel 1 is -owned by Jerry Nash, Neville Gorden, et al, and consists
of approximately 110 acres. This property was originally -proposed
for annexation at the time the Enterprise Public Utility District annexed
but was deleted at that time, as it was not contiguous. Parcel 2 is
owned by Edward Ochinero and consists of approximately 38 acres.
Annexation as requested would create an island of unincorporated terri-
tory. It is recommended that these two requests be forwarded to the
Planning Commission for review and comment as to the boundaries
and availability of necessary municipal services.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Anderson
referring the aforementioned requests for annexation to the Planning
Commission as recommended. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Jerry Nash appeared before Council and requested a water contract
with the City prior to completion of the annexation so they can obtain
--��G a State permit to complete their subdivision. He noted that they had -
requested annexation to the Enterprise Public Utility District and had
1 received a letter from EPUD stating that LAFCO had approved the
request; however, LAFCO passed a resolution placing a moratorium
on annexations to EPUD until after the Enterprise Annexation. Mr.
Nash said that they went before LAFCO and were advised that they would
be annexed either to EPUD or to the City of Redding. The water line is
installed.
City Attorney Murphy explained that this parcel is one of several pro-
posed annexations that occured as a product of the activity of EPUD
when annexation action was pending. After the annexation passed and
the City was to act on the several proposed annexations, it was de-
termined that LAFCO and EPUD had operated on an erroneous assumption
of contiguity with respect to the Nash parcel, based on a mistake in the
legal description. The City could not, therefore, proceed with the
annexation.
After considerable discussion, the matter was referred to staff for
review and recommendation.

WATER TREATMENT, SUPPLY, TRANSMISSION, AND STORAGE
Public Works Director Arness reviewed his memorandum to Council
dated May 11, 1977 pertaining to Water Treatment, Supply, Trans-
mission, and Storage, which memorandum is made a part of these 3,39
minutes by reference.
It is staff's recommendation that the following program be followed:
a. Instruct the City Attorney to prepare the necessary
documents to program a November, 1977 water bond election.
b. Based on apparent bonding capacity, the City proposes to fund
the following projects from the sale of the bonds:
1. Construct 30 -inch line from Pump Plant No. 1 to Pump
Plant No. 2
2. Cross town transmission facilities
3. Design of the water treatment plant
4. Northeast Redding - install a new 12 -inch diamater

144
f. Development of a staff -Council committee to work with
local representation of the State Health Department
Councilman Demsher said that it is apparent that the old part of the
water system needs work done on it; that a major transmission line
be constructed to connect Enterprise and Cascade, and that a water
treatment facility be designed. In his opinion, the first positive
step to accomplish these things is a water bond issue.
Councilman Pugh noted that there are deficiencies in the water system
of all three entities (Cascade, Enterprise, and Redding) that need
correction. He stressed the fact that the recent increase in water
rates was not due to Cascade or Enterprise. Mr. Pugh said that
the community should be well advised that the City has a long road
ahead to solve its water problems, which includes the construction of
a State mandated water treatment plant.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman
Demsher approving the staff recommendation as set forth herein.
