CIVIC AUDITORIUM
In response to a request of the Redding Business and Professional
Women's Luncheon Club that consideration be given to naming a room in
the Civic Auditorium in honor of Owen T. Lyon, the Auditorium Committee
recommended that either the north or the south patio, preferably the north,
of the Auditorium be designated "City of Redding Memorial Patio" , and
therein a suitable plaque installed which would provide room for a Roll of
1-�•��-� Honor on which the names of those citizens of Redding who have rendered
exceptional and heroic service to the City, or the State or the Nation
may be inscribed. It was further recommended that the first name to
be affixed to this Roll of Honor be the name of Owen T. Lyon.

MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Anderson
approving the recommendation of the Auditorium Committee re designating
a "City of Redding Memorial Patio" at the Civic Auditorium as outlined
heretofore. The Vote: Unanimous A.yes
a
The City Clerk read a communication received from the Redding Chamber
of Commerce concerning the Chamber Convention Bureau in which it was
recommended that (1) Nye Wilson be retained as acting manager of the
Civic Auditorium from now until the auditorium opens , and (2) that
Council act on items on which policy decisions must be made , such list
of items to be submitted by Mr. Wilson within 60 days .
Councilman Denny reported that Nye Wilson met with the Auditorium
Committee, the Chamber Convention Bureau, and the Architects last
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday on matters of some urgency that must
be resolved to insure that when the auditorium is ready for occupancy the
City will have an organization that will function. Mr. Denny stated that
up to the present time Mr. Wilson has been meeting at infrequent intervals
with the Auditorium Committee but the Committee believes it is .obvious
that from here on out the City will need someone to give direction to
convention related activities, and feels that Mr. Wilson is qualified and
prepared to render this service to the City. It is therefore their recom-
mendation that the City' s contract with Mr . Wilson be modified in such a
way that he be designated as acting auditorium manager until such time
as a permanent manager is employed. Mr. Wilson and the Comrnittee
feel that probably about six months prior to completion of the auditorium
the City should have a permanent manager employed. Mr. Wilson is
working with the Auditorium Committee, the City Manager, .and Finance
Director to advertise such a position and will assist the City iri screening
and selecting a qualified auditorium manager.
The amendment to the employment contract between the City and Nye
Wilson was reviewed by Council and certain changes pertaining to Mr.
Wilson�'s compensation were interlineated in the document.
� MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Chatfield
� approving .the amendment to the employment contract between the City of
Redding and Nye Wilson. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

, POLICE DEPA.RTMENT - Reserve Auxiliary Police Program
In a memo to Council dated January 9th, City Manager Cowden made a
progress report regarding the City of Redding Reserve Auxiliary Police
Program. Mr. Cowden reviewed his written report and a supplemental
� report made to him by the Chief of Police and Personnel Director , dated
January 17, 1969, in which it was stated that the police reserve program '���
has been temporariTy suspended until information concerning police
reserve programs in effect in other cities can be assembled and certain
program elements can be reviewed and evaluated.
j Councilman Fulton askedwhy:the Chief and the City Manager had "scuttled"
the program. � .
�
, Mr. Cowden said the program has n,ot been "scuttled" , just temporarily
suspended. j.He further stated that Staff is not�:sure that the program as
it is presently constituted is functioning as it should. . In answer to
Councilman Fulton's inquiry as to whether any complaints had been
received from citizens re the program, Mr. Cowden replied, "No".
He added that his final report and recommendation will be put together
12
for Council approval within 60 to 90 days. He said he does not profess
to know much about auxiliary police programs and wants to be sure the �
City has a proper one.
Mayor Moty asked how many cities are being contacted for the informa-
tion set forth in the supplemental progress report of January 17th and
was advised by the Personnel Director that 28 cities have been contacted.
Also, Mr . Robert Whitmer , representative of the International A.ssocia-
tion of Chiefs of Police, has been contacted for advice as to auxiliary
police programs:
Mayor Moty asked the City Attorney if it is not true that, according
to the ordinance, the authority to suspend or cancel the activities of
the police reserve program rests with the Police Chief and the City
Manager. Mr. Murphy confirmed this .
Councilman Anderson said he favors a temporary set of rules and�
continuing the auxiliary police on duty, rather than suspending the
program.
Councilrrian Denny' supported the recommendations of the City Manager,
Police Chief, and Personnel Director, stating he believes that it would
take almost as long to set up temporary rules as to make a more detailed
study and recommendations for a permanent program.
Mr . Cowden said that, at this point, Staff is not certain that the
recommendation will be to contiiiue the program or whether the cost
will justify it.
Councilman Chatfield commented that he does not think that anything
that has been said is a criticism of the Department as a whole or a
criticism of inembers of the organization. He said that he believes the
ordinance should be reviewed carefully and that there should be some
provision for these reserve officers to be known the same as any other
policeman, and also that they should be residents of the City of Redding.
He sees no provision in the Code for Council to make policy on this at
the present time. Referring to certain newspaper articles in the
Record Searchlight, he said that Council has to be kept informed by
Staff. Mr. Chatfield also believes that the reserve officer program
should be a budget item, if only for $1 . 00.
Councilman Fulton stated that the presence of an auxiliary policeman
with a regular police officer in a patrol car is a good backup, and he
does not think it should be dropped for 60 to 90 days .
Councilman Denny said he agrees with Dr. Fulton regarding the presence
of auxiliary police officers but feels there is an exposure in having an
organization whose functions are not clearly defined and made known to
the public. Mr . Denny favors proceeding as recommended by the Chief
of Police and:Personnel Director.
Councilman Chatfield said he thinks it is up to the City Manager and the
Chief of Poliee, but they should assemble the riecessary iriformation as
rapidly as possible and bring a recommendation to Council at an early
date. He would prefer to have the a�iliary officers refrain from active
duty for a short period of time.
Mayor Moty said this publi city ha s b r ought up in hi s mind the ne c e s s ity
of having the i�-ndependent Police Report come out of Committee. He
appointed Councilman A.nderson as a member of the Council Police Report
Committee to replace Frank Doherty.; arid re�izested the Gori�nitte;e. to• report
to rouncil as- to the portions they feel�shoul•d pe• implemented. Mayor�Moty
reviewed the history of the reserve officer program,, pointing out.that the
original program was initiated in 1940,and that' the ordinance was amended in
1958; but that there was no menti�n of the ordinance in the newspaper , either
at the time of the first reading or when it was adopted. The Mayor said that
13
when he was appointed to Council, three of the Councilmen who were
on the Council at that time were also Councilmen in 1958 when the
ordinance was amended, but that it did not occur to them to advise
him of the existence of the reserve police officer program. One of
those Councilmen was a reserve police officer. The Mayor said
that he could see why the Police Chief felt there was no necessity
to inform Council; that he assumed Council knew all about the pro-
� gram. He is certain there was no intention to hide this information --
it was just a matter of Councilmen being unaware of it. Mayor Moty
thinks the City Manager , Police Chief, and Personnel Director have
taken the right step; that it is time to take a hard look at the program
to see if it is worthwhile . He does not feel a decision should be made
on the future of this program untiT.all of the information is assembled
and evaluated.
, Pat Patterson, Vice President of the Five Counties Central Labor
� Council said he feels that it should be determined whether such
reserve police officers are physically and mentally qualified. He
� asked who the gentleman was who had the revolver ill concealed
(referring to an article in the Record Searchlight). :
I
' Police Officer Sam McCall remarked that the police officers are having
to take the brunt of charges about the reserve police officer program.
' He brought out the fact that in reports in the Police Department files , in
every instance'where a reserve officer is present where an arrest is
made, his name is on the report, which indicates that the auxiliary
police program was not hid from reporters.
Ted Temer , KVCV and CHannel 12 newsman, came forward and said
that as a working newsman he was well aware that the organization
existed. He said that some time ago he had been approached re being
a reserve officer but had to decline as he was out of the City too fre-
guently. Mr . Temer said that with only two patrol cars on duty at
night and one police officer in each car , if an officer picks up a drunk
in an automobile that a problem is presented because, with only one
man, the car cannot be inventoried and impounded without help; so
� the single officer must radio for help and wait at the scene until help
arrives unless an auxiliary police officer is present. For this reason
he believes the auxiliary police program was a good thing.
A.t this point the reporter for the Record Searchlight, Wesley Hughes ,
; stood up and stated that he doesn't regularly cover the police station,
but that on the occasions that he did cover it, while he had observed
Officer McCall's signature at the bottom of the police reports he did
not recall ever seeing Mr. Johannessen's name or the names of other
a�iliary police on such reports,
Darryl Moulton came forward and stated that he was a member of the
auxiliary police and that as such he rode with a regular police officer
on the night of April 17, 1968. On that occasion they sighted a suspicious
looking vehicle pulling out of a service station so they followed it. Moments
later they received a report over the radio that the service station had been
� robbed. They pursued the car out of the City with the red light flashing
and were able to stop the car only after the regular police officer fired a
shot. Mr. Moulton said that although he takes no credit for the apprehen-
, sion of the robber, he does feel that his presence helped to prevent the
suspect from resisting arrest. He said that the April 18 issue of the
' Record Searchlight mentioned the incident and listed his name as the
, reserve police officer in its account, and that later when the criminal
was prosecuted his name was listed again in the paper as having been
subpoened to testify.
At this point Mr. Maur.ice Johannessen came forward and stated that
he was 'a reserve police officer and was the person xeferred to in the
' newspaper article as the one carryirig an ill concealed weapon. He
� said that he has had a�permit to carry a concealed weapon since 1957.
He further stated he has spoken before many groups re�arding the
auxiliary police officer program, and the help that is needed by the
undermanned Redding Police Department. He mentioned that he spoke
�
14
before the Shasta County Committee on Crime and Delinquency, and
that this organization fully supports the local auxiliary police officer
program. He commented that the reserve officers have been checked
out by the FBI and the CII prior to appointment, and that the officers'
only function to date has been to ride with patrolmen as that is all
they have been authorized to do under this program.
Wesley Hughes again stood up and said that the paper never said there
was anything wrong with the program but only said that they were
alarmed that the special police were carrying guns , were in civilian
clothes , and were not wearing badges . He mentioned that the annual
budget for the reserve officer program in Berkeley is $9,000, and
said it would seem that the City of Redding could do it for considerably
less and put the officers in uniform. Mr. Hughes said he was speaking
for himself and not for the paper.
Terry Miller, Sacramento Bee Correspondent, said he favors the
program and urges its continuance.
Councilman A.nderson said he favors going along with the recommendation
of the Police Chief and Personnel Directo_r but urged that the recomrrien-
dation to Council be expedited.
Councilman Chatfield suggested that this be referred to Committ'ee as
he feels there should be some study by Cou.ncil members as to what
poi•tions should be covered by ordinance a.nd what should be coyered by
resolution. Also, perhaps the Committee could expedite the matter.
City A.ttorney Murphy said that if it is the Council's wish to refer this
to the Council Committee on the International Police Chiefs Report that
he would recommend that the Committee's study on this be permitted
to be carried on simultaneously with its review of the Police Survey
as he believes that the International Police Chiefs Report provides
other alternatives for solving the problem of being undermanned which
exists at present, and that Council should have the opportunity to con-
sider the Corr�iittee's reconZrnendations on all of the alternatives at
the same time.
MOTION: Made by Gouncilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Anderson
accepting the progress report submitted by the City Manager and accepting
the report submitted to the City Manager by the Police Chief and Personnel
Director, and that Council direct the City Manager, Police Chief, and
Personnel Director to carry out the study program that has been outlined
and make appropriate recommendations to Council at the earliest practical
time and, in preparing and submitting such recommendations to give full
consideration to related parts of the report that was prepared for the City
of Redding by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. The
Vote: Unanimous Ayes
POLICE DEPARTMENT - re Career Development Program
Finance Director Courtney submitted a memo to Council dated January
17th concerning the Police Department Career Development Program -
Chico State College Public Administration Courses to be offered in the
Redding area. Mr . Courtney reviewed the program, stating that 'it is
Staff's recommendation that the City of Redding extend financial partici-
pation to the extent of paying for tuition and cost of required t.extbooks
for eligible Police Department employees taking authorized courses for
�l�lx credit and who receive a passing grade . It is estimated that the cost of
� tuition and books per man per semester will be approximately $'125. 00
or a total cost of $1 , 250 . for the remainder of the 1968-69 fi'scal year,
based upon an estimated number of ten employees participating in this
program.

NOTICES OF COMPLETION
, In a memo to Council dated January 16th, City Attorney Murphy reviewed
� the procedure re filing notices of completion in public works contracts
stating that, in his opinion, there is no risk of double payment by the City
arising out of the filing of either an invalid notice of completion or the
, failure to file a notice of completion, and such filing in regard to a public
works contract is of primary benefit to the contractor and the surety. 7��'
He further stated that the failure to file a notice of completion or the filing
of an invalid one benefits the laborer or materialman by extending the
� time both in which he can file a stop notice and in which he can bring an
action against the labor and materials bond.
