LINDEN AVENUE AREA IMPROVEMENTS Councilman Chatfield reported that at the March 6th Council meeting Council had approved the recommendation of the Cour�cil Committee re ,l�✓� construction of a 24' extension of West Street from Linden Avenue !-� southerly to approximately the intersection of Eugenia Avenue together with the necessary culvert crossing of Linden Creek, and he requested that at this time Council act favorably on the other two recommendations submitted at that time; i. e. , The City install an 8" sewer line along Linden Avenue f-rom West Street westerly to make possible the connecting of residential structures on both sides of Lind'en Avenue as well , as capture the effluent from the holding ponds at the drainage end of the City's dump to eliminate summer septicity in Linden Creek. Property owners in the area to be served by the sewer line would pay all front footage and acreage charges applicable under existing City ordinances and would pay the cost of making their house connection to the newly installed sewer line. The City would also continue to maintain Linden Creek through the removal of deb ris, etc. - Mr. Leroy Anderson, Chairman of the Linden Avenue Gommittee appeared before Council and stated that the residents of the Linden Avenue area are well pleased with the recommendation made regarding the sewer and will go along with the City 100%. Mr. Anderson thanked Council for their support and cooperation in this matter. City Attorney Murphy commented that he had received a phone call from HUD Officials regarding the Sheridan Park Neighborhood Center asking for some additional information pertaining to C. A. P. and that he was able to obtain �he needed information which would be forwarded to HUD tomorrow. Councilman Fulton inquired as to the total cost to individuals to be served by the sewer line and the figures submitted at the March 6th meeting were reviewed. Councilman Chatfield pointed out that the costs could be kept at a minimum if prope rty owne rs wished to do s ome of the work on the laterals themselves. Mr. Hartley Barnard appeared before Council and stated that the people in the area are not satisfied with the recommendation regarding the ditch. He also mentioned the substandard lots, the method of payment for the improvements, and the 15 bridges over Linden Creek, all of which he stated are a hazard with the exception of one. Councilman Fulton left the meeting at this point. 83 Mayor Moty remarked that it was unfortunate that Mr. `Barnard had not been present a few moments earlier when Mr. Anderson had stated that the residents in the area favor the recommendati�ons. Mayor Moty also said that as far as substandard lots are concerned he believes the City has .a procedure for resubdividing and, with regard to payment for the improvements, the City is' not making it mandatory for the property owners to connect to the sewer line immediately. They can hook up as they are able to pay. � Mr. Michael Piekern, representative of the Community Action Project advised Council that he had be'en making a survey of the entire Linden Avenue area�and last.week he talked to most of the people involved and they had' advi'sed him they had decided•to go along with what the City proposes. . Mr. Barnard said he could show Council the signatures of 56 property owners who are willing to accept a reasonable price for their property and relocate. However, after a brief recess to allow Mr. Barnard to get the signatures from his car, Mr. Barnard said he would not show them to Council but urged Council� to withhold action on the recommenda- tions until after a meeting to be held tomorrow between the Committee and the p rope rty owne rs: = � Mr. Anderson stated he represents the property owners living in the area rather than people who own property in the area but live elsewhere. He commented that Mr. Barnard had shown no interest in trying to obtain the various improvements until a-sufficient number of property owners had signed�petitions to bring the xnatter before Council without Mr. Barnard's support: � � A general discussion of the matter followed. � MOTION: Made by Councilman Chatfield, seconded by Councilman � Doherty approving the recommendations of the Council Committee as stated herein�,� authorizing the Director of �Publi�c Works to design the project which will include drain lines from the effluent ponds at the City dump, and to prepare the bids. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes � Finance Director Courtney stated that with� regard to a defe�rred payment program for sewer connection charges, he had conferred with the Gity Attorney and that he in turn had conferred with Bond'yCounsel Ed Ness and that it had been ascertained that there is no applicable procedure allowing deferred payment if the ind-ividual financial obligation is in- curred at staggered intervals. When Mr. Barnard inquired about the possibility of deferred payments, Mr. Courtney said he had indicated to Mr. Barnard that the City's present -policy permits a defe-rred pay- ment program not to exceed one year. However, Mr. _Courtney said he had subsequently requested a formal opinion from-the C-ity Attorney and it has been ascertained that the Municipal Code does not permit a deferred payment program for sanitary sewer connection charges. CIVIC AUDITORIUM Councilman Denny reported that the Civic Auditorium Committee has had several meetings during the past month, inclueling meeting:s: with M r. Latcholia and M r. T ruax of the•Economic Development Adminis- tration, and with Architects Van Bourg and Smart.

Councilmen Chatfield and Denny and City Manage r Cowden attended the meeting and, at the conclusion of the meeting, the Chamber voted unanirno.usly to support the City's ,position as r,epre.s.ented by. � , Councilman D,enny that, the,City; felt;it had an,excellent:chance of. quali- fying for the EDA grant and did not feel it prudent to jeopardize the grant by proceeding, with bids at this .time, . .At this meeting the City Manage r . outlined the financial considerations that relate to the project. The Chamber of Commerce commended the City for its aggressive approach in seeking Federal assistance and. recommended. that the City� set July 1 as a date on which they should proceed with the construction if the City has not received.the grant by that time. Mr. Denny said the Chamber was influenc.ed in setting this date as a deadline as, according to Councilman Chatfield, this grant -will have�to be made by July.�l�st.

He further. stated that.the a.rchitec,ts, are. fully oceupied with auditorium: :studies at this time.

The Vote: Unanimous Ayes REDDING MUNICIPAL AIRPORT Airports Manager McC�.11 reported that on March 20th Council adopted � �`� Resolution No. 3851 appropriating $50, 000 for an application to the State of California on a matching fund basis for purchase of clear zones 87 at Redding Municipal Airport. The application was completed and sent to the State on March 28th; however, since submitting this application, the City has received information from the FAA that applications for Federal Aid to Airports should be submitted no later than April 26th and it is doubtful that the City,will have approval from the State by that time. Mr. McCall said this leaves two courses of action: 1. Use the $50, 000 we now have and apply for Federal aid on a 50-50 basis for matching funds and still have the possibility of the State grant of $50, 000. (This would be the same $50, 000 used in applying for State matching funds -- it can be used both ways. ) If the City follows this procedure and receives aid from both State and Federal, total funds available would be $150, 000. 2. City Council appropriate an additional $50, 000 of City money. Thi's $50, 000, coupled with the original $50, 000 already appro- priated, could be used in applyirig for $100, 000 in aid from the Federal Aid to Airports Program, with the possibility that if the State approves the City's request for aid the $50, 000 from the State could replace the additional $50, 000 of City money. However, if not approved, the City would'liave to make good the full amount of $100, 000. _ Following a discussion of this item, Mayor Moty requested the Airports Manage r to dete rmine-whethe r the 'City can amend its application to FAA if unfareseen difficulties arise, assuming the application is for $100, 000. Mr. McCall said he would investigate this matter and also stated that further study will be made within the next two weeks with a recommendation to Council at the meeting of April 17th.
