The Vote: Unanimous A.yes A.MBULA.NCE PERMITS James Benson appeared before Council, representing A.BC , A.merican, and Professional A.mbulance Companies , and protested the recent issuance of'an additional ambulance permit to Redding Ambulance Company. Redding A.mbulance now has three ambulance vehicle permits. Mr. Benson said that he and the other companies he repre- sents were unaware that the applieation for a permit had been filed, and it is their belief that the requirements of public convenience and ��� necessity have not been met. Mr. Benson mentioned that to date the County has not approved the Redding A.mbulance Company application for an additional permit, In essence, Mr. Benson argued that to allow Redding Ambulance to increase its ambulance permits would place the other three ambulance companies in an unfair competitive disadvantage. Councilman A.nderson stated that he believed that an existing company that desired to expand should be allowed to expand, and that he would not feel that the City Council should take any position in regard to competition between presently licensed ambulance companies . Councilman Denny stated, in es sence, that it was his feeling that ariy allegations regarding unfair competition are immaterial to the is"sues to be decided by the Council unless the specific examples cited con- stitute a violation of the City's ambulance ordinance. 101 Mr. Benson then alleged that the Council had previously denied an - application for a medi-car permit to one of the three ambulance companies he was representing at this meeting, while having granted ' such a permit to Redding A.mbulance. Staff advised Council that it had neither any record nor recollection of any such denial. � At the request of Councilman Fulton, Mayor Moty referred all of the I complaints of Mr. Benson to the A.mbulance Committee for review. , Mayor Moty instructed staff to notify all holders of existing ambulance perrizits when any future application for an ambulance permit or medi- car permit is placed on the Council A.genda for consideration. PUBLIC HEA.RING - Garden Street-Orchard Estates Street A.11ey A.ssessment District 1970-5-1 The hour of 7:30 P. M. having arrived, Mayor Moty opened the Public Hearing on Garden Street-Orchard Estates Street A.11ey A.ssessment District 1970-5- 1, pertaining to Filing of A.ssessments � � � , The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: I Certificate of Mailing - Notice of Filing A.ssessment and time of hearing A.ffidavit of Publicatiori - " " " " " Certificate of Posting _ " " " " " (posted on Council Chambers door) I The City Clerk read letters from the following persons , all of whom were protesting because a drainage system was not in- cluded in the project: � Mr. and Mrs. George Weber Mr, and Mr s. A. S. Millian � Mr, and Mrs. Clark Morford � Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Morford A.11en and Deeta Goold Many prop"erty owners residing on Lincoln Street were present at this public hearing. Ruth Millian and George Weber , acting as spokesmen, stated that they would have preferred to have the alley oiled but had been told that it was not the policy of the City to oil alleys, and they had been led to believe that drainage would be provided when the alley was paved. � Mayor Moty read from the signed petition the description of work to be performed, and drainage was not included. He also read excerpts from the minutes of.the public hearing held .on October 19 , 1970, in which the Public Works Director stated "--=-there will be no drains in the alley." Mayor Moty commented that City employees did not circulate the petition and that perhaps , because there had been discussion about drainage, the persons circulating the petition did not make it clear to all property owners that the project would involve only paving of the alley. The protesting property owners allege, that their water problems I will be greater than ever because paving has raised the level of , the alley s everaT inche s. Proj ect Engineer Mathis said that the grade of the alley was left as closely as possible to what existed but that-it had been neces- sary to do some filling of low spots and removal of dirt in high spots. In a discussion re the poor drainage in the area, Councilman Anderson asked if there was a cure to the problem and was 102 �advised that more and larger drains would alleviate the drainage problems but that the cost would be approximately $42, 000. Mr. Weber asked if concaving the aliey would not help. Mr. A.rness said he had recommended against concaving because of the liability involved in diverting water. City A.ttorney Murphy confirmed �he fact that the City is legally liable for diverting water. Mr. Pi ne, 845 Gold Street, 'said he was one of .the persons who had circulated the petition and that he had discussed drainage and dust problems with property owners when the project was first initiated but he had not misrepreserited the program and each person read the petition before signing. Mayor Moty said he could find no grounds to disallow the assessments and asked how the assessments could be paid off. He was advised that the property owners would have 30 days after billing to pay the assessment. They may pay a portion of the assessment or the entire amount. The un- paid portion will be spread over a five-year period and the property owners will be billed by the City Treasurer semi- annually.
