C OMMUNI CA TIONS
Redding Chamber of Commerce = Freeway Signs
In a letter to Council dated August 18th, the Redding Chamber
of Commerce requested Council approval of an addition to the
present freeway signs located north and south of Redding. It
is their proposal that a small board with the word "Camper.s"
be placed under the present signs at the bottom of the bill- . ,
1��� boards , at no expense to the City.
Staff reported that the overall size of the billboards cannot be
enlarged and that Ryan Outdoor A.dvertising has agreed to
quote a price for changing the message on each of the billboards
to include the word "Campers ."
Council recalled that some time ago (at the Council meeting of
November 18, 1968) it had authorized the Chamber of Commerce
to work out the sign formats , and therefore no additional approval
is n,ecessary, if there is to be no cost to the City for the pr-oposed
change.
Staff will advise Mr. Cowgill of the cost involved when such
information is received from Ryan Outdoor Advertising.
League of California Cities
With the approval of Council, Vice Mayor Chatfield designated
Councilman Denny as a voting representative at the Business
Sessions at the Arinual i;eague of California Cities Conference
� 7G- in San Diego, October 25-28, 1970, and City Manager Brickwood
or City A.ttorney Murphy as an alternate voting representative.
Vesta A. Bockman
Mrs. Bockman appeared before Council and appealed the front
footage water charges proposed to be charged to Conroy
/� `� . Towing Service property, owned by Mrs. Bockrrian: '
Assistant Civil Engineer Hastings reviewed the background re
this matter as follows:
' 145
1. Prior to the time of South City Annexation, McKesson-
Robbins entered into an agreement with the City whereby
if said firm extended the water line to their business on
Hiway 99 South, the City would furnish water to them.
Other persons agreed to participate in the cost of this
line,
2. One of the parties who participated in the cost of the
aforesaid line was Lees Transfer and Storage on Sutter
Street, and the City installed a meter on Highway 99
South at Sutter Street. Lees installed a water line from
Highway 99 South along Sutter Street to their building.
The line was on the south side of the street.
, 3. At some point in time, Conroy Towing, without the City's
knowledge, hooked up to this line.
; 4, Sizbsequent to the installation of the line by L'ees`, Shasta
County and the School District installed a line on the north
side of Sutter 5treet in order that Juniper School could be
served. At the time of annexation, the County and School
District turned this line over to the City. .
5. Diiring construction of curbs and gutters on the south side
of Sutter Street, the water line installed by Lees was
broken and it was decided to move' the original meter located
at the corner of Hiway 99 `and Sutte 'r Street to` the location of
Lees Transfer and Storage building and to utilize the water
line installed on the north side of Sutter Street by the County.
This decision resulted in the water supply for Conroy Towing
` being cut off, as they were receiving water from th'e line on
the south side of Sutter Street. �
� It is the contention of Mrs. Bockman that,, because all of this
prope'rtiy is under one ow'nersli'ip; and' the' owri'e'r`'did pay water
charges a'ss'essed by the City, there should not be 'front footage
charges against the property leased to Conroy Towing.
1VIr,•�Hastings said the City is wi113rng to waive the acreage charges
and Mrs. Bockman is agreeable to paying for the rneter, but
objects to the $3.00 per front foot charge for the line along Sutter
Street.
Because of the complexity of the matter, with the approval of
Council, Vice Mayor Chatfield referred this matter to the City
Attorney for review and, if possible , that the problem be
solved administratively.
As Mrs. Bockman will not be available for possible questioning,
Mrs. Spainhower, a friend who is familiar with the pertinent
facts ; will act as her representative, if necessary.
Redding Chamber of Commerce - Auditorium Sign
Jack Cain appeared before Council on behalf of`the Redding
Chamber of Commerce A.dvertising Committee which recommends
that consideration be given to the erection of a lighted, double-
sided reader signboard adjacent to the Shasta-Tehama freeway
entrance and exit. It is'felt that such a sign would clearly ..�/.�J
�indicate the location of the Auditorium and could announce
activities in the Auditorium. Mr: Cain illu.strated the proposed
location of the sign on the blackboard, stating that if it were
placed on the north side of the Shasta freeway entrance, just
east of the underpass , it would be readable to•occupants of
cars traveling in either directiori.
�_ , , _ . �.
, . .
146
Councilman Fulton indicated that he would be opposed to a
gaudy sign.
Mr. Cain replied than an opaque type sign, lighted from
within on both sides by neon tubes is proposed.
This item was referred to the City Manager and the
Planning Director for review and report back to Council.
State Division of Highways
� A communication was received from the State Division of
��� Highways advising of a change in speed limit signs .
Sheriff's Posse of Shasta County, Inc.
,�J,.� A communication from the Sheriff's Posse of Shasta County
,���,�� requesting an additional lease for a period of 10 years was
referred to the A.uditorium Committee and staff for study
and recommendation to Council.
Redding Ambulance and Medi-Car Permits
In a letter to Council dated August 21st, the owners of ABC
�' �-� Ambulance,. American Ambulance, and Professional A.mbulance
� �,.� � referred to the' termination of the license of Redding Ambulance
5ervice and the Medi-Car Permi�t upon the death of Eugene
Strawn. It was their request that a public hearing be held upon
the public necessity and need for new licenses for each of these
businesses.
Communications were also received from Mary Strawn, widow
of Eugene Strawn, requesting permission to operate Redding
Ambulance Service and Redding Medi-Car.
Vice Mayor Chatfield said he could never justify voting against
the issuance of a license to a widow of the owner of the bu'siness.
George Spurlin, owner of the ABC Ambulance, said the idea was
not to deny Mrs . Strawn a license for Redding A.mbulance Service
but that the Medi-Car was killing off ambulance service. He
stated that he and the other ambulance_ owners primarily object
to the transfer of patients from hospitals to convalescent homes
and would like certain restraints put on the type of services to
be performed by the Medi-Car.
Councilman Fulton said he would be happy to look into the type
of services performed by Medi-Car.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman
Denny that the public convenience and necessity require the
operation of Redding Ambulance Service (2 vehicles) in the City
of Redding. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
City Manager Brickwood submitted Resolution No. 4356
establishing rates and charges which may be charged for the
Medi-Car.
Councilman Fultori raised an objection to the rate proposed for
°1waiting time after 15 minutes" , stating that he doubted that
such a fee would be paid by Medi-Cal.
Mr. Brickwood advised that all of the rates in this resolution
are the same as those in effect at the present time, and that
the reason for the adoption of this resolution is that the current
resolution establishing such rates includes the issuance of a
Medi-Car permit to Charles Wilgus who no longer operates
said vehicle. It was pointed out that if investigation shows that
the rates in the resolution are not proper, they can b e changed
by the issuance of a new resolution. Councilman Fulton said
he would inve stigate such r ate s.

��`� 24 hours to 5 days, and 2) Section 28-51 provides that the County of �
Shasta representative on the Appeals Board shall be an officer�o"r
employee of the County, other than the Health Officer.
Mr, Benso'n, owner of A.merican Ambulance, said he felt that when
an ordinance is to be considered by Council, persons to be affected
by such ordinance should be notified 30 days in advance in order that
the ordinances could be reviewed. He also discussed several facets
of the ambulance regulations :with which he does not agree.
Vice Mayor Chatfield said he felt it would be proper for Mr. Benson
to initiate his concern with the City A.ttorney and the Council Committee
and that such matters would then be brought to Council through the
Committee.

BUSINESS FROM THE FLOOR - Howard Fritz re Midtown Project No. 1
Mr. Howard Fritz appeared before Council and requested Council to
publish in the newspaper the total cost of the mall and the method of
financing. Mr. Fritz said that the public and even businessmen in the ''����
mall do not understand how the mall is to be financed. He would like
this information published in detail form, much like a financial state-
ment.
During a discussion of the mall project, Vice Mayor Chatfield asked
Mr. Fritz if he objected to the use of Federal funds in financing the mall.
Mr. Fritz replied that he was not opposed to the use. of Federal funds
but is concerned about the City's share of the total cost.
Vice Mayor Chatfield said he did not bel ieve Council could give a decision
this evening but he would refer the matter to the Mall Committee for
, study and report back to Council at the meeting of September 21 st.
Mr. Fritz said he believes this information should be made public prior
to awarding of the contract for demolition.
Mr. Henson, Executive Director of the Redding Redevelopment A.gency said
