Mr. Brickwood said it is evident that when the current State bid expires in June there will be a si.zable increase i n the cost of these fire pumper units , probably in the f-� �/ vicinity of $10,000 to $15 , 000. Therefore, as it was intended to request funds for one more unit in the 1977-78 budget year , it appears practical to order both units at this time . It is unlikely that delivery will be made prior to J.uly 1 , 1�977. The Gity Manager requests adoption of Resolution No: 76-46, authorizing the State to purchase two fire engines for the City of Redding.

INSURA.NCE PREMIUM INCREASE - Package Insurance Program Assistant City Manager Courtney reviewed his memorandum dated May 11, 1976 in which he advised Council that the premium payable to Fireman's Fund for 1976 for the City's Package Insurance Pro- gram will be $124,343 , which is an increase in the amount of $53, 393 over the 1975 premium. Consideration has been given to rebidding the package insurance program, but the Independent / ' Insurance Agents A.ssociation of Shasta County have indicated that � � / they do not recommend soliciting new bid quotations at this time. ; Mr. Courtney said that, in conjunction with other local agencies , staff'will explore alternative programs . Clark Hull, 1577 Benton D'rive, is concerned about increased in- suranoe. costs , stating that, in his opinion, the increas.es are necessary because of poor investment in the stock market by the insurance companies rather than:an increase in claims . It is his suggestion that the City, in conjunction with other public agencies ' in the County;, inves.tigate the possibility of a self insurance pro- gram. ' Councilman Anderson said he tends to agree with Mr. Hull as to the cause of the increase in premiums and stated that the City is looking into the matter of self insurance . A determination will have to be made as to the size of the base; i.e. , with Shasta County, the League of California Citie� etc . Jim Williams of Insurance Associates agrees that the City will have to be thinking of self insurance . He mentioned that the County has this under study now and he will be reporting back to the City as to the County's findings . Mr . Williams noted that this increase is not limited to � inunicipalities , all segments of society are experiencing premium � increases. . . � _ _ _ T�-. -,---.�.� ,-- _ .�.� _______ -- . _ _ _ � � , 94 � MIDTOWN PROJECT NO.

ALIGNMENT FOR B�UENA.VENTURA BOULEVA.RD � �� C)� Planning and Community Development Director Harris reviewed his � memo to Council dated May 13, 1976 in which it is r.equested that Council approve the proposed alignment for Buenaventura Boulevard. Approval of the alignment will allow staff to begin preparations for the ' ultimate acquisition of right of way. However , before any right of way � is acquired, staff will request specific authority from Council, as well as approval of a relocation plan for affected residents . _____-__ ___ __ _.. �. _.. _ . � - ,� ��__._�.__ -. _�-_..� _�..__ � _ __ 7 I 95 Council was provided with a Final Environmental Impact Statement prepared by the City of Redding concerning the construction of Buenaventura Boulevard, as well as a map showing the proposed alignment. The project is to construct a major thoroughfare between Eureka Way and Railroad A.venue. The project is to consist of three phases: Phase 1 - Placer Street to Westgate Subdivision, Phase 2 - Westgate Subdivision to Eureka Way, and Phase 3 - Placer Street to Railroad Avenue. Phase 1 has already been constructed; Phase 2 is proposed to be constructed during 1976-77. Councilman Pugh expressed his objection to the construction of Phase 2 - Westgate Subdivision to Eureka Way during 1976-77 , noting that in 1975, Council had stated that priority should be given to the con- struction of that section of Buenaventura Boulevard in the Linden A.venue area before any other section of the thoroughfare is considered. Councilman A.nderson and Mayor Fulton were in agreement. Councilwoman� Gard said she feels. the matter is being over-simplified, stating that the acquisition of property and relocation of affected per- sons on Linden A.venue cannot be accomplished in a short time. City Attorney Murphy stated that he is not sure he can have all the land acquired so that construction in the Linden A.venue area can be started in the year 1976-77. - Staff pointed out that Phase 2 was proposed for construction in 1976-77 as there is no land acquisition problem and the cost is less than. $200,000 for construction, whereas construction of that portion of Buenaventura Boulevard from Placer Street to Railroad Avenue will be in the neighborhood of $700, 000. Councilman A.nderson recommended that Phase 2 be shelved, and the money budgeted for that portion be used to construct:a portion of the thoroughfare from Railroad A.venue to Octavia. Councilman Demsher recommended that the thQroughfare from Railroad Avenue to Placer Street be separated into two phases , No. 1 from Rail- road Avenue to Octavia and No, 2 from Octavia ta Placer. Kathy Brooks , representing the Linden A.venue neighbor.hood, said she agreed with Councilman Pugh that priority should be given to the Linden Avenue area. She asked for some type of time line, stating that the uncertainty as to property acquisition and relocation is unsettling to property owners and residents. � Mr. Harris said it is anticipated that property appraisals would be ' completed late this summer. Council approval would then be requested for acquisition of such properties, probably in September. Council agreed to discuss construction costs during Budget Sessions . MOTION: Made by Councilman Demsher , seconded by Councilman Pugh approving the proposed alignment for Buenaventura� Boulevard.
