I ; i.� PETITION RE DETACHMENT FROM ANDERSON COTTONWOOD IRRIGATION DISTRICT In a petition to Council received on March 7, 1968, twenty-one property owners requested that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare a petition for th ro r e p pe ty owne rs in the City of Redding to ci rculate to detach f rom the Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation District. ' a�G' In the absence of City Attorney Murphy who was called out of the meeting temporarily, Vice Mayor Ghatfield advised that he .had discussed .this matter briefly with the City Attorney and that Mr. Murphy is not certain ,,, 70 as to the possibility of such detachment. The Vice Mayor said he would suggest referring this to a committee to study as to whether or not it does affect a large enough portion of the City to constitute a municipal problem and for the committee to determine what the possibility of� detachment will be. He appointed Councilmen Denny and Fulton to investigate this problem and report back at the Council meeting of April 1. Mr. Hartley Barnard appeared before Council and said that he is one of the signers of the petition and he has been paying this tax for 30 years. He stated that the petitioners are requesting that the City Attorney be authorized to prepare a petition which the property owners will circulate and submit to LAFCO. Councilman Denny stated that it is his feeling that the petitioners should approach either Bill Minton, Executive Secretary for LAFCO, or County Counsel regarding detachment from A. C. I. D. Note: The following action was taken on this item afte'r Gouncilman:' - Doherty entered the meeting and the City Attorney returned to the meeting. MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Fulton to reconsider the Petition for Detachment from the Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation District. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes - Councilman Denny reviewed what had transpired earlier in the meeting for the benefit of Councilman Doherty and City Attorney Murphy. . Mr. Denny.questioned whether the City of Redding is the proper agency to advise these people concerning the procedure for detachment. It is his belief that they should be guided by the staff who serves the Local Agency Formation Commission. He asked the City Attorney to comment on this. Mr. Murphy stated that he was awaiting direction from Council and that off hand he does not know whether irrigation districts fall within the list of districts that are covered by the Uniform District Act of 1965. If they do, then the staff of LAFCO should provide the guidance and, even if they do not, it would seem logical to ask guidance from County Counsel or the firm of Minasian and Minasian, . attorneys for the A. C. I. D. There was a general discussion as to the proper procedure to be'followed. MOTION: Made by Councilman Doherty, seconded by Councilman Denny that the City Attorney be instructed to advise the petitioners as to the fi rst step to be taken rega rding detachment of p rope rty owne rs in the ,. City of Reddin�g from the A. C. I. D. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes PUBLIC HEARING - re Abandonment of portion of Easement - Sacramento River The hour of 7:30 P. M. having arrived, Vice Mayor Chatfield opened the Public Hearing re abandonment of a portion of an Easement in � the proximity of the Sac ramento Rive r. �-�� The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: Affidavit of Publication - Resolution re Notice of Public Hearing Affidavit of Posting - Resolution re Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendation dated 3/15/68 The City Clerk advised that a protest had been received from Elsa Rupp, and the following persons appeared before Council with regard to the proposed abandonment. �'P 71 John Reginato appeared as a representative of the Shasta-.Cas,cade Wonderland Association and as a private citizen. Mr. Reginato ; stated he has great concern because of the lack of access to the Sacramento River for bank fishing. He said there is only 6. 8 miles of river frontage from the Keswick Dam to the Shasta-Tehama County line in public ownership. He stressed the need for retaining all such land now in public ownership. � Mr. Elton Bailey of the Department of Fish and Game also appeared and,expressed concern over the possible loss of river frontage l�and for us e by the public. Mr. Joe Curto, representing the firm of Curto, Kennicott, and Wilson,, advised that the easement does not follow the river bank , � and that, as owners of the property east of the easement and along the riyer bank, his firm could restrain the public from fishing along most of the easement. Councilman Denny commented that originally this easement was set� aside for utilities and for fishing and he would assume that it bordered the river at that time. Assistant City Engineer Lang explained that in.the deed it sets forth that thep easement shall proceed north in a straight line from a point on the most westerly indentation of the river bank to the .northerly boundary line of the property; however, the river bank meanders and does not follow a straight line. The meets and bounds description of the land owned by Curto,, Kennicott, and Wilson indicates that some lan3 lying eas,terly, of the easement does belong to said firm. The deed does provide that in the event of erosion to the west, the City's i easement would automatically move west, but the deed is silent with regard to filling east of the easement. ' It was decided to continue this hearing later in the meeting when the City Attorney would be present. The following is a continuation of the ; hearing. 8:45 P.M. Councilman Doherty entered the meeting. and City Attorney Murphy returned to the meeting. Councilman Doherty and Mr. Murphy were briefed on what had trans- pired earlier in the Public Hearing. � Councilman Denny asked what provision, if any, was there in the deed as to fill, and what are the considerations in regard to fill? Mr. Murphy said he had not read the deed with the purpose of � ascertaining that particular point but, to his recollection, the deed , was silent on this point. Mr. Murphy said he understands that the ` State has undertaken a hearing or series of hearings relating to the � filling activities of the present owners. The City did not receive ! notice of the hearings, was not invited to participate in the hearings, � - � and does not know the present status of the hearings. . It.was brought out that there are approximately 2. 3 miles or river frontage under control of the City and that there is presently+�under consideration the acquisition of shoreline upstream from the ease- ment proposed to be abandoned. 72 MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Fulton that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous Aye s Vice Mayor Chatfield stressed the fact that the City is vitally interested in acquiring additional river frontage land and re- taining all such land it now has where it is feasible. He asked Mr. Reginato if he felt it would be desirable to add a "WHEREAS" clause to the resolution re abandonment. Mr. Reginato said he did not feel this was necessary as Council has evidenced such interest by its acquisitions. ' � RESOLUTION - o"rdering Abandonment of portion of Easement MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Denny that Resolution No. 4033 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding ordering the vacation and abandonment of a portion of an easement adjacent to the Sacramento River.

POLICY RE UNDERGROUNDING ELECTRIC UTILITIES In a memo to Council dated March llth, City Manager Cowden submitted a recommendation that the City of Redding pay the cost of undergrounding the house service in new subdivisions electing to install underground electrical service. Mr. Cowden explained that this was inadvertently omitted when Council adopted a policy re electric utility installations ��'� at the Council meeting of February 5, 1968. In addition to the recommen- j.�J� dation contained in the memo, Mr. Cowden recommended that the City pay similar costs for undergrounding house service where a new home is constructed on a vacant lot in a residential area already supplied with electrical energy from an overhead distribution system, and in cases where a resident in an area already supplied with electrical energy from an overhead distribution system remodels the residence structure to the extent where it is necessary to relocate the.house meter service. 73 In a discussion of this matter, Councilman Denny indicated that he favors the recommendation but would like to have it understood that the City Attorney would be expected to review the wording of this recommendation to make certain that it is clear and that it does not create any confusion.
