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 Oxygen Approved Rate $ 65.00 1/2 basic rate 10.00 3.00 per mile 10.00 10.00 135 136 Resuscitation Splints and dressings Standby time in excess of first 15 minutes Special recovery Loading and unloading train or aircraft actual cost, but not in excess of Decontamination of ambulance as required Dry run Life support unit (for registered nurse) $ 20.00 Actual cost 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. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Councilmen - Anderson, Demsher, and Gard Noes: Councilmen - None Absent: Councilmen - None Abstain: Councilmen - Pugh and Fulton Resolution No. 77-82 is on file in the office of the City Clerk. 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. 1 1 137 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. Voting was as follows: Ayes: Councilmwn - Anderson, Pugh, and Fulton Noes: Councilmen - Demsher and Gard Absent: Councilmen - None 138 MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman Demsher directing staff to proceed with a survey and investigation of ball park needs and potential site locations.

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 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. 140 MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Council- woman Gard that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher, seconded by Council- woman Gard upholding the recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff 'pertaining to the EIR requirement for Parkside Manor, Unit 2.

Councilman Pugh stated that his conflict is an attorney-client 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 for the purchase of a portion of the property from Carl Pullen. Mr. Anderson was advised that it would be unnecessary for him to vote as his vote would not change the decision of Council.

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. TRAFFIC AND PARKING COMMISSION Traffic Engineer Hamilton submitted the following items from the Traffic and Parking Commission: Stop Sign ---Liberty Street at Eureka Way MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman.

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.
