The City Clerk was instructed to contact each Councilman re attending. Citizens for Recycling Solid Waste Janet Cowan, a member of the Steering Committee of "Citizens for Recycling Solid Waste" read a communication to the Redding City Council recommending that Redding update its solid waste disposal system in an ecologically sound way, and suggested a �=� '�.�� plan for trash separation and recycling, Letters in support of this program were also received from Lu Anne Balfrey and Dorothy Brunemeier. It was brought out that Federal grants are available for recycling solid waste programs, and Public Works Director Arness affirmed that this was true but that primarily the grants are aimed at the scientific merits of research. Mr. Arness said that in 1969 and 53 again in 1970_he had contacted the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare with respect to monies which might be available for research on recycling but that such grants are usually for pilot programs and he feels that Redding ' would have little chance of obtaining a grant. Mr. A.rness � said he knows of no City where such grants have been made. ! The following persons appeared in support of the recycling project: Ellen Chain - feels it would be a w.orthwhile project; men- tioned concerned groups presently gathering news- papers Father William Simpson - suggested that perhaps the Neighborhood Youth Corps could become involved in picking up material that could be recycled Helen Generes - recommended use of home compactors ' currently being advertised Florie Oliver - feels recycling is the responsibility of local government and is in favor of City employing � an assistant to Mr . A.rness to work out the details Steve Bowden - referred to the inability of local industry to handle all of the papers being collected � Keith Wilson - asked if new Industrial Park advertises that � Redding is a recycling (was told that Industrial Park is sponsored by the Economic Development Corporation of Shasta County) center? ��:��1 ' Tom Sater - mentioned the recycling program in Chico and said that the Chico group would be more than happy to work with Redding .in getting such a program started , here. Brad Wilcox is in char.ge of the Chico program. Ted Klaseen - suggested the possibility of seeing how much the citizens would do by providing bins at the landfill � . - for the deposit:of glass bottles A. student from the Shasta College Environmental A.ction Committee spoke of the activities being carried on at the College this week, which is Earth Week, and invited Members of Council and staff to attend such activities. During a two-minute recess , schedules for Earth Week activities were passed to Members of Council, City staff, and others attending the Council meeting. In a discussion of all of the suggestions and recommendations made by interested persons, the following points were made by Members of Council and staff: Councilman A.nderson believes that the City should make use of programs already developed rather than to pioneer a re- cycling prograxn. He also suggested that the group make a survey to determine how much general interest,ther:e is in ! r ecycling. The City Manager concurred with Mr. A.rness that Redding , would have very little chance to get a Federal grant here. He also mentioned that the subject of recycling is going to ; be discussed at the meeting of public agencies on A.pril 24th at the Holiday Inn. 54 Mr. A.rness recommended that he and Mr. Townsend, Sanitation Superintendent meet with manufacturers, members of the Citizens for Recycling Solid Waste, and representatives from the County to try and come up with a solution. Mr. A.rnes s said he was skeptical of using groups , such as the Neighborhood Youth Corps , to pick up recyclable material because the City would have to back up the opera- tion if such groups were unable to keep their commitments . He said that if the City can find a technique where continuity is provided, he would be more than willing to go along with it. Mayor Moty referred to priority projects, such as infiltra- tion control, 2nd stage of sewage treatment plant, and fil- tration of drinking water, all of which he believes should be completed before the City embarks on a recycling program. He questioned whether the City. or volunteer groups would be able to successfully merchandise glass bottles and papers , stating that there is no point in collecting salvage unless you have a market for it. He mentioned that freight rates are so high;;, it would not be feasible to ship the salvaged material �-�`� � to a buye:r out of the immediate area. Councilman Denny said that this is a new area for munici- palities and he doesn't think Redding is in a position to pioneer a program. Mr. Denny suggested that some inquiries be made through the League of California Cities and the Depart- ment of Health, Education, and We=fa.-e, or any other Federal agencies interested in this problem, and then evaluate whether programs being undertaken elsewhere would be applicable here in Redding. Mayor Moty asked the City Manager to contact Diamond National to determine what that company is prepared to do as far as news- print is concerned. Tom Sater noted that Diamond National doesn't want the problem of baling the newspapers; that they buy newsprint from a professional baling company. He said that when he asked the company in what form they would accept newspapers he was advised that they would not accept additional newsprint in any form; that the paper they were accepting at present from non-profit groups was for public relations purposes only. Public Works Director Arness was asked to follow through with information from Brad Wilcox with respect to the Chico re- cycling program. Mayor Moty requested staff to submit a report of their findings to Council at the meeting of May 3rd. Northern California Grocers A.s sociation A. communication was received from the Northerri California Grocers A.ssociation which submits that banning the sale of non-returnable beverage and beer containers is discriminatory iri view of all the other merchandise being sold in non-returnable � ?� containers . In January, 1971, Council adopted Resolution No. 4399 , urging legislation to alleviate the problem of litter and waste disposal created by the sale of products in disposable non-returnable containers . No action was taken by Council with respect to the NCGA. comrnunication. 55 Helen Generes - Street Improvement A communication, dated A.pril 12, 1971, was received from Helen Generes pertaining to improvement of the street in front of the building at 2256-2258 Market Street, and the lack of �� � cooperation from the City Engineering Department in this regard. i Mayor Moty appointed .Councilman Fulton to work with City � Manager Brickwood in reviewing this problem and to report back to Council. The City Clerk was requested to notify Mrs . Generes .when this matter is to.be brought before Council. . Helen Generes - Calaboose Creek In a letter to Council dated April 13, 1971, Helen Generes pro- tested the decision of the City Engineering Department which denied her permission to install 84" galvanized pipe in Calaboose � Creek on property she owns near Hill and Market Street. c���� Mr. A.rness stated that the problem lies in the size and type of pipe proposed to be used by Mrs . Generes. He submitted written docuxnentation of the facts of this dispute, wliich in- cluded 5torm Drainage Construction Standards adopted by Council on November 6 , 1967 by Resolution No. 3965. He also noted that this area was rejected for City participation as was � the Athens Avenue-Cypress A.venue drainage ditch, based on the belief that the project would benefit the individual rather than the public, which would be a gift of public funds . In answer to Mayor Moty's inquiry as to whether the. City had participated in oversizing beyond the A.tlas, Mr. A.rness cited the following instances: near the Safeway Store on Eureka Way and on Continental Street near the Redding Cemetery. ' Mrs. Generes requested Council to reconsider the City Standards. � Mayor Moty appointed Councilman Chatfield to meet .with .the City Manager-and Mrs. Generes regarding a solution to this problem, and to submit a report to Council.
