ACQUISITION OF KUTRAS TURTLE BAY PROPERTY Councilman Chatfield reported that it has been determined that it would be advisable to remove the concrete structure on Kutras Parcels 17 and 18 prior to start of construction of the Auditorium, .and that Mrs. Kutras has indicated a willingness to allow the City to accelerate purchase and take the two parcels occupied by the concrete structure and forego the acquisition of Parcel 3 that would have taken place this year. It is the recommendation of Councilman Chatfield that the City take advantage of the accelerated purchase as the structure will probably have to be blasted and this could be done prior to start of construction. In answer to Mayor Moty's inquiry, Public Works Director Arness said he feels the. structure will have to be destroyed with small charges and agrees that blasting after start of construction is not desirable. It is recommendation that the City obtain price quotations from reputable wrecking firms. Councilman Denny said he has no objection to leaving the structure until 1986 -- the normal acquisition year, but that if it is the desire of Council to acquire at this time he would assume that the City Attorney would re- quest modification of the existing agreement so the. City would know what effect the purchase of these two parcels out of rotation would have on the agreement. City Attorney Murphy stated that the agreement provides for accelerated purchases and for changing the order of acquisition by mutual agreement in order to take care of contingencies. Councilman Chatfield advised that the City does have an indication from Mrs. Kutras that if the City purchases these two parcels this year, then Parcel 3 can be acquired in 1969. MOTION: Made by Councilman Doherty, seconded by Councilman Chatfield that Kutras Parcels 17 and 18,be acquired on an accelerated basis, subject to the condition that the City Attorney obtain the necessary assurances from Mrs. Kutras to insure the City's future rights .under the agreement. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes CIVIC AUDITORIUM - Progress Report Councilman Denny gave a progress report on the status of the Civic Auditorium. Mr. Denny said that plans and specifications 97% completed we re submitted to EDA on July 1 1 th and that EDA had reported back on September 18th requesting that certain items be contained in the final submission. The final submission was made on October 17th and confer- ences followed with representatives of EDA. Subsequently there was correspondence, telephone calls, and meetings between the architects and persons representing the EDA. On December 27th a letter was re- ceived from :John Davidson.,of EDA setting forth additional requirements and requesting that plans for utilities and .the parking lot be forwarded. These plans were mailed to Seattle on Saturday,. December 30th. Councilman Denny requested Council to authorize Architect Richard Smart to make a trip to the EDA Seattle office at this time to answer questions to expedite approval of the plans. Councilman Chatfield .said he feels that the City Manager should accompany Mr. Smart on -this trip. MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Chatfield authorizing Richard Smart and City Manager Cowden to make a trip to Seattle to answer questions to expedite approval of plans for the Civic Auditorium. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes CASCADE HALFWAY HOUSE ASSOCIATION City Manager Cowden introduced Mr. Gilbert Maatta, .Alcoholism Coordinator for the Cascade Halfway House Association, who reviewed briefly the purpose of the Association as outlined in detail in his letter to Council dated December 26, 1967. Mr. Maatta said they have been successful in raising $600 of the $2, 000 necessary to get the project started, and requested Council to give consideration to participating financially. Mr. Maatta said the County Board of Supervisors advised that it was not able to participate financially at this time and that the United Crusade is to review their application in February. At present there are no United Funds money available for this project. In a discussion of this matter the question was raised as to the City's position in a matter of giving public funds to agencies such as this. City Attorney Murphy said that although he knows of nothing offhand that authorizes the City to participate in this particular type of activity, that isn't to say that such authority does not exist, and he would like time to research the matter before final action is taken. Councilman Fulton questioned the value of the Halfway House. He feels there has been an over -emphasis of rehabilitating alcoholics. Dr. Fulton believes the money could be used to better advantage elsewhere, such as helping the mentally retarded and physically handicapped. 1 1 Mayor Moty said he feels that the City Attorney should research the matter and, if it is possible legally, he thinks Council would be helping the community by contributing, possibly on the basis of one-third City., one third County, and one third United Fund. With the approval of . Council, -Mayor Moty appointed Councilman Fulton, Councilman Chatfield, and City -Manager Cowden to meet with the City Attorney and check out legal ramifications pertaining to an appropriation to the Cascade Halfway House Association and return to Council with a recommendation at the meeting of January 15th. - CITY OF REDDING "PACKAGE" INSURANCE PROGRAM In a memo to Council dated December 29th, Finance Director Courtney outlined the "package" insurance program for the period January 1, 1968 - December 31, 1970 recommended by the Independent Insurance Agents Association of Shasta County, stating that it is the recommendation of the Association that such coverage be awarded to Jack S.
