REDDING MUNICIPA.L A.IRPORT - Minimum Security Facility
A.irports Manager McCall submitted a memo dated March 28, 1969 pre-
pared by the City A.ttorney re the "Minimum Security Facility Deed and
A.greement." The proposed Deed and Agreement was attached. Mr.
, McCall explained that the Council Committee met with representatives
of the County and, subsequent thereto, the City Attorney and County
Counsel had further discussions regarding revisions to the proposed
, agreement. He advised that County Counsel Rehberg and City Attorney
Murphy had reconciled the differences in the agreement and it is to be
rewritten as outlined in the City A.ttorney's memo.
Cou.ncilman Fulton reported that there is no conflict with F.A.A.. re the
use of the property as a minimum security facility; however, access to
the facility is a problem. Many routes have been considered and it is now
felt that the best route with the least problem is as described in the pro-
posed Deed and A.greement. He stated that a dust proof road will add to the ,,
usability of the property. ;'/f
The exact location of the red line permanent easement as specified in the
A.greement has not been determined. Councilman Denny stated that the red
line follows the route already recomxnended by Quinton Engineers in the
A.irport Master Plan. �
Council concurred that the gate at the intersection of the red and blue line,
which is to be padlocked at night to prevent people from wandering onto the
A.irport property and/or runway, should be provided by the City. Planning
Director Harris was instructed to request the City A.ttorney to prepare an
ordinance covering posting the property against trespassing.
.Airports Comrnission Chairman Joe Patten suggested that Council might
want to consider reducing the three year period mentioned in paragraph lb
of the A.greement even further to one year, in the event the City has the
opportunity to sell a choice piece of airport property. Mr. Patten pointed
,
out_that the reason the Gommission originally favored the southern site for �
the facility was to i.solate the activity so as not to interfere with other airport
uses. He stated that the red line is the boundary line for the primary airport
area. He also suggested that Council might wish to consider including a
provision- in the A.greement which would permit the City to change the location
of the red line easement at its own expense, if the road is already constructed
and if the us e of the pr ope rty change s in the futur e.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Chatfield, seconded by Councilman Anderson
approving the Deed and A.greenzent, subject to the inclusion of a paragraph
allowing the City to relocate the red line road at its own expense if it has
already been constructed by the County and a change is desired by the City, •
and subject to the changes as recomxnended by the City Attorney and as
penciled in on the proposed document. The Vote: Unanimous A.yes
Mayor Moty declared a ten minute recess at 8:05 P.M.
,-x�
The meeting was reconvened at 8:15 P.M.
LEASE OF CITY PROPERTY - S.. P.C ,A . Animal Shelter
A report dated March 28, 1969 was submitted by Council Committeemen
Fulton and Chatfield re the SPCA. A.nimal Shelter.
Councilman Chatfield stated that his basic objections to the proposed site as �
outlined in the .memo may have been ill founded due to lack of information. �j�`•;
Council studied the alternate site shown on the Vu Graph. It was determined `'
that the triangular corner at the north of the Clear Creek sewer facility
contained sufficient usable land for the construction of the facility, and that
it is directly off of a paved road. -
52
Mr. Carl Williams and Dr. Jerry A.sher said the alternate site is acceptable
to them; that it is in an isolated portion of the land and there is no access
problem. Dr . Asher pointed out that the proposed building which contains
approximately 2 , 000 square feet is designed to button up at night. He said
that if it is done correctly, it will be fairly soundproof. He further stated
that the facility will have a cyclone fence and will be an asset to the City and
County. He advised that the building will contain an apartment to house a
caretaker on a 24-hour basis and that tentative plans allow for extension of
the building to 3, 000 square feet toward the river , whenever needed. The one
to one and one-half acre parcel will be of sufficient size to provide for parking,
an incinerator, and future expansion.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilmam Denny
authorizing the City A.ttorney to prepare a lease agreement with the S,P. C.A..
using the alternate site. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Cou.ncilman Fulton was called from the meeting at this time.
CITIZEN5' ADVISORY COMMITTEE

Schedule No. 485 for 27, 500 lb. GVW Chassis and Sanitation Packer be
awarded to Lou Gerard Motors on their second low A.lternate Bid. In
his memo to Council dated April 4, Mr. Brickwood noted that although
this bid is $24.96 higher than the Alternate Bid of International Harvester,
the International Harvester bid specified "less retarder" and, for reasons
outlined in his memo, it is his recommendation that the bid be awarded to
Lou Gerard Motors . In answer to Councilman Chatfield's inquiry as to
whether the City A.ttorney is in agreement that this procedure is acceptable,
Mr. Brickwood replied that in the absence of the City Attorney from the City
�j he had checked with another attorney and had been advised that such procedure
� is legal.

In an analysis and recommendation of Bid Schedule No. 488, special
sanitation containers, it was the recomrnendation of the Purchasing Director
that the bid be awarded to De Wald Fabrications, Inc . on their revi=sed�low
bid. Mr. Brickwood noted that after th.e bid opening a wire was received
from the De Wald Company showing a revised bid caused because of a
clerical error in which freight was added in twice. This , however, did not
affect the recommendation inasmuch as De Wald was the low bidder on their
original bid. De Wald will sell the containers to the City of Redding for the
�� following prices: .
.y--
1-yard sanitation containers $88.00 plus tax
1-1/2 yard " " 95 .00 plus tax

- ,�/>y the Highway 5afety Project Grant Application. The National Safety Council
' S5
� recently recommended that the City develop a record system on the

, available for a portion of the proposed project. It was stated in the
memo that the application should be in the office of the State Trans-
portation Safety Coordinator by A.pril 18th. The total cost of the 21
month program described in the mexno is $45 , 985 . The City's share
would be $18, 652.

program. He felt there has not been sufficient consultation on the pro-
posed project and recon�iended that this item be held over for further
study.

application even though we are not certain it will be filed.

pare an application and that we should be sure of our intentions before

TOYON JOB CORPS CENTER
Mayor Moty permitted Mr. Chick Gleeson, Chairman of the A.dvisory
Council of the Toyon Job Corps , to speak from the floor , requesting
support of the City Council toward the retention of the Toyon Job Corps.
He reported that it is anticipated that Congress will reduce the allocation
to the Office of Economic Opportunity by one third. He stated that we
have an exceptional center at Toyon; that in the four years of its existence '���
there has been no major incident involving law enforcement. Mr. Gleeson
advised that the Corpsmen have participated in activities in every part of
the County, including fire fighting� and. search and rescue. _
The boys are afforded the opportunity of being trained in almost every trade
and, for evidence, Mr. Gleeson suggested looking at their work on the
restrooms at Shasta Dam, and at Fisherman's Point on the east side of
the Lake, The masonry and carpentry was all accomplished under the
supervision of one or two men, according to Mr: Gleeson. Most of the
boys have gone on to good jobs, and reports on them have been good.
Many of the boys have learned how to read and write here and it has en-
abled them to apply for jobs, He stressed the fact that the Corps has done
a lot for the boys and that will be the only opportunity many of them will
have to get ahead. In addition, the organization provides good moral
tr aining.
Mr. Gleeson said that improvements at tiVhiskeytown and on County
j projects will be hindered if the Job Corps is lost to this area, but the
� most irn.portant consideration is what the Corps is doing for the boys.
Council concurred that the leadership at the Toyon Job Corps Center
has been of very high quality and that the City of Redding has also '
benefitted in many ways from the Corps.
56
Mr. Gleeson requested Council to send letters to the Chairmen of the
House Committee and the Senate Committee, and a night letter to Con-
gressman "Bizz" Johnson, urging the, retention of the Toyon Job Corps
Center.
Mayor Moty declared this matter an urgency item.
