The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was led by Sid Cowgill, Manager of the Greate r Redding Chambe r of Comme rce Reverend Phillip Anderson, Pastor of Bethel Assembly of God Church, offe red the invocation. The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.,M. by Mayor Moty with the following Councilmen present: Chatfield, Denny, Doherty, and Moty. Absent: Councilman Fulton. Also present were City Manager Cowden, Assistant City Manager and Purchasing Director Stewart, City Attorney Murphy, Finance Director and Personnel Director Courtney, Planning Director Harris, and Public Works Director Arness. . Mayor Moty greeted Mr. Don Brown, teacher at Enterprise High School, and the students from his American Problems class. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS Directional Signs on Freeway Mr. Sid Cowgill, Manager of the Greater. Redding Chamber of Commerce submitted information pertaining to signs proposed to be erected covering the entrances to the north, central, and south portions of Redding. Mr. Cowgill commented on the. impact of . Freeway diversion to local busine.sses,and especially t:o those. businesses located in south Redding. „ Illustrations of prop.osed signs prepared by various sign companies were shown to members of Council and staff. It was suggested that the City of Redding lease or purchase outright the selected.signs. and assume the. cost of maintenance.. The .motels,. service stations, and restaurants ��� would pay $5, 000 towards the total cost of the signs over a two year period. The total cost of three s,igns.on an outright purchase program is estimated to be from $21, 543 to $25, 302, depending � on the type of signs purchased. This does not include land rental which is estimated to be $1, 000 per year. Mr. Cowgill said,that the motel operators have authorized Mr. Philip Moody, Hospitality House. Restaurant; Mr, Charles Williams, Americana Motel; and Mr. Lou Grush, Rite Spot Restaurant, to meet with members of Council or staff to work out the details, providing the City favors the erection of the signs as .proposed. . Mayor Moty asked Planning Commission Chairman.Hull if any discussion had taken place at the Planning Commission level in regard to signs of this nature. Mr. Hull stated that the.Planning Commission anticipated the need for public service signs of this nature during the drafting of the sign ordinance and therefore no area or height.�re.g,ulations were imposed for such signs. A discussion was held re the limit of funds which might be expended for these signs and whether such expenditure falls within the adver- tising �promotional. cate:gory. It .was pointed out that the. limit which -- � may be .expended.for advertising..pu,rposes �is 5%-of .the. general . _ budget and that these signs,�would,fall within the. pr.omotional category; 28 • howeve r, the re is a question as to whethe r funds ove r and above the 5°jo figure may be expended from the Transient Occupancy Tax fund• for purposes outlined in Ordinance 761A. City Attorney Mu rphy will re s e a rch thi s matte r. Mr. Robert Adams of Ryan Advertising appeared before Council and stressed the need for size and flexibility of directional signs. His company is proposing tri-vision units with the wording, "Gas", "Food", "Lodging", with the overall dimensions of the signs to be 16 ft, by 50 ft. Other companies submitting proposed signs include Federal Sign and� Signal Corporation, Northern Neon�Sign Company, and Medford Sign Company.� � Mayor Moty stated that he feels that some�type of identificatiori is needed and needed soon, and he prefers the three sign and outright purchase approach. Councilmen Denny, Chatfield, and Doherty agreed with Mayo�r Moty; however, Couneilman Doherty expressed some concern about the amount of money expended so far this year for non-budgeted items. To date approximately $124, 000 has been expended for non-budgeted items, $74, 000 of which was spent for ' Kutras and Benton property in the Turtle Bay•Area. Finance Director Courtney said that if the signs are purchased in the 1966-67 fiscal year the source of funds would have to be from sales tax revenue as the Transient Occupancy Tax fund is over- committed in excess of $6, 400, assuming the City will receive open-space grant funds in the amount of $19, 500 prior to June• 30, 1967. Mr. Courtney said that the Transient Oceupancy Tax fund has been projected•and there appears to be $70, 000 uncommitted over the .next 5 year period; however, this leaves no provision for bond interest and redemption cost for bonds issued to finance the construction of the Auditorium. In answer to-a question as to the use of monies in the Transient Occupancy Tax fund, Mr, Courtney said such monies would be used for auditorium operating expenses and for future Kutras and Benton property acquisitions. Councilman Chatfield said he believes the City should proceed to•purchase the signs using sales tax money which will be paid back •from the TOT funds and later the City can commit these funds to the operation of the Auditorium. � Council gave general endorsement to the sign proposal and Mayor Moty appointed Councilmen Chatfield and Doherty to work with the three industry representatives and return to Council with final figures and proposals for approval by Council. � PUBLIC HEA.RING - Revisions to Sign Ordinance The hour of 7:30 P. M. having arrived, Mayor Moty opened the contin ued public hearing on the proposed revisions to the Sign Ordinance. � • ��G, The City Clerk advised that letters had been received from Mr. James Wells (Ramada Motel) and Mr. Hammons (Holiday Inn Motel) protesting the restrictions on appurtenant signs in the "Freeway Corridor". City Manage r Cowden reviewed b riefly the lette r re ceived f rom Mr. Hammons in which it was stated that if approval were not given by Council for a sign 54 feet in haeight with 745 sq, ft, of area, Mr. Hammons might not proceed with his contemplated Holiday Inn project. 29 Planning' Commissiori C�hairman Hull 'said tfiat 'he does not agree with the liberal approach of the City Manager re approving signs requested by developers; that"lie thinks the Comm'ission has taken th'e"moderate � approach in developing the proposed si'gri ordinance. IVIr. Fiull said the Commission has spent many hours on the proposed sign ordinance and he believe's it is�fair i:n both height'and area regulations. He referred to the exceptio'n's allowed for public service signs, for major coinpTex signs � and for sign's dbstructed by' natural obstacles. Mr. Hull"also commented on the amo 'rti'zatio'ri period for non-conforming signs"and`said tliat-although a 5 year amortization period was recommended, this is an arbitrary figure'which�could be changed. Planning'Commissioner Brunemeier re- iterated Mr. �iull's feelirigs and 'stated'that"tlie' 3OO ft: sign�ar'ea'allows space equal to. the average billboard which has served throughout the country for 20 to '30 years. ' �� � � � " � ' The following persons appeared before Council in� support' of-signs�greater in area than the 300 ft. proposed in the sign ordinance: Mr. J.M. Wells, Jr::,, appearirig on behalf of'his father, James 'M. 'Wells (Ramada Inn) requested Council to corisid�e'r �hat larger signs are�needed along the freew'ay. Their proposed sign is approximately 580 sq. ft. in area. Mr. Wells commented that the ordinance should be more fleXible to allow for exceptional cases. He referred� to the�clause' ''natural 'ob'staCles•" and stated�t'hat if Mr. Hammons' sign is'pe�rmitted it'inay pa�rtially block the Ramada Inn sign and`this would be an unriatural obstacle'. He re'quested that the ordinance be reconsidered �with more�liberal specificatibns 'for` area l-imits, `'e'specially along freeway corridors. � ' � . . � : Mr. Ben Brooks appeared as agent for Mr.• John Hammons (Holiday Inn Motel) and said he thinks the ordinance is fine except for the regulations along the freeway, but that larger signs are necessary along a freeway because of the greater speed at which cars are traveling. Mr. Harvey Berglund, Ryan Outdoor Advertising; reiterated his concern that unless sizes are spelled out according to �zoriing it will be difficult to po1'ice and also tHe Commission wil�l be`deluged with requests for variarices'. Mr. Berglizxid also requested that consideration be given to wording th'e orclinance to provide that by issuance of a use permit two 12x24 signs could be erected at one location. �`Mr'. Robert Adams; Ryan Outdoo'r A'dvertising, ''requested'Council to corisider enlarging'the maximum size of signs from 300 sq. `ft.' �to-480' sq. ft. along the freeway. , , f... - Mr. V.M. Robinson (Hemsted Village) objected to the 5 year amortization clause for nori=conforining signs, statirig that'the Government a•llows 8 years.

MOTION: Made by Councilman Doherty, seconded by Councilman Denny �/7,� approving the appointment of Clair A. Hill as a member of the University Committee. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION Councilman Denny reported that under�legi"slation governing LAFCO, in any annexation to the City of Redding, the City of Redding representative must disqualify himself, and that in other types of proceedings involving the City it is preferable that he do so. However, the act creating LAFCO provides for the selection of an alternate chosen by the Mayors of the ��.� two cities affected and that alternate, even though he might be a Council- man of Redding, could, under the law, vote on the annexation or other issues before LAFCO involving the City of Redding, even though the regular City of Redding representative could not. Councilman Denny therefore urged Mayor Moty to get together with Mayor Withee of Anderson and select an alternate for appointment to LAFCO. Mayor Moty requested the City Clerk to remind him to set up a meeting with Mayor Withee. - 38 ROU TINE�C OIVIMUIVICATIONS � Application for�Alcoholic B'evera�ge License - Hilltop Liquors, �7� 2008 Hilltop Drive � „ ICCCNC Minutes of ineeting of January 17, 1967 ADJOURNMENT � � There being`no further business; at the hour of 11:01 P.
