M. having arrived, Mayor Moty opened the Public Hearing re Garden Street Sewer Assessment District. The following documents ar,e on file in the office of the City Clerk: � Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Improvement re public hearing �(� Affidavit of Publication - " " " " Affidavit of Posting " " " " The City Clerk advised that a written protest had been received from Herbert Lawhon, 2146 Garden Street, Redding. Robert Hastings, Assistant Civil Engineer in the Department of Public Works advised Council that the formation of the Garden Avenue Assess- ment District came about as a result of a problem with a 4" sewer line serving three residences on Garden Avenue. The area was illus- trated on the Vu Graph. Mr. Schnitzler, one of the property owners, contacted the Department of Public Works seeking relief from the problem of the sewer line which becomes plugged from tree roots. He was informed that a 6" sewer line could be installed and could be handled by the formation of an assessment district. Mr. Schnitzler , circulated the necessary petition and returned it with a 66-2/3°jo sign up; Mr. Lawhon did not sign the petition. The assessment is estimated to be approximately $500 for each property owner, plus connection cha rge s. , , Mr. Lawhon appear.ed before Council and stated that he did not believe the new sewer line was necessary; that he had lived at that location for fifteen years and had spent less than $100 in having the sewer line cleaned out. , During a discussion of this item it was brought out that a similar 4" sewer line serves three residences across the street and Mayor Moty raised the question of whether some provision couldn't be worked out to reimburse the three property owners in the proposed Garden Street Assessment District in the event the three property owners across the street eventually hook into the proposed sewer 94 line which will run down the middle of Garden Avenue. Couricilman Chatfield questioned whethe r the re was�a pos sibility that se:we'r �assessments were paid on these parcels of property under the Garden-Olivia Assessment District. Mr. Hastings said he had no knowledge of this and would guess the Garden-Olivia Assessment District was prior to the resubdivision. � He will check into thi s matte r. MOTION: Made by Councilman Chatfield, seconded by Councilman Denny that.the public hearing be continued to 8:00 P. M. , May l, 1967. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes � DIRECTIONAL SIGNS ON FREEWAY Purchasing Director Stewart submitted specifications for bidding purposes on the proposed Directional Freeway Signs and included for Council corisi:deration two alternates. Alternate 1 would include the cost of the site locations in addition to the base bid and Alternate 2 would permit sign companies to submit bids on signs of their own ��� design. Mr. Stewart stated that if Council direets staff to go to bid, it would be possible to have an analysis and recommendation for the Council meeting of May 15th. Councilman Dohe rty reviewed previous action taken by Council with respect to the directional signs and said he feels there are many unanswered questions as to sign locations, the messages on signs, etc: , and-that it would be unwise to proceed along the course which Council had previously outlined. Mr. Doherty be- lieves Council should reconsider its previous act'ion in order to allow bidde r-s a maximurri of f reedorn. MOTION: Made by Councilman Doherty, seconded by Councilman Deriny that -Council reconsider its previous action with respect to directional signs on the Freeway. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes In a lengthy discussion of this item, one of the changes requested by Council was the elimination of the arrow on the sign to be located on the east side of �the freeway between Cypress and Tehama, and the words "Next Exit" added. Councilman Denny stated he feels that some dissatisfaction has been expressed by all members of Council concerning the wording on the signs and thinks the Committee should determine what would be honest, straightforward wording to assist and encourage the motorist in getting where he wants to go in Redding. There was discussion of the s�ign proposed to be erected south of Anderson. In reply to Councilman Fulton's suggestion that this sign be eliminated, Sid Cowgill, Manager of the Greater Redding Chamber of Commerce, said he felt this would be a mistake as this is whe re the ha rdship is. Councilmen Chatfield and Dohe rty believe that such a sign could be helpful to South Redding if it is properly done. Mayor Moty said he felt the City could not spend in excess of $35, 000 for the signs, including site costs. This does not include the $5, 000 from the industry which will be coming in over a period of time and will probably be used for maintenance and electricity bills. � Mr. Harold Finkler gave a status report re property the City might purchase for sign locations. To date he has been able to locate only three sites which he thinks the State would approve for sign locations 95 and that would be suitable for the proposed directional signs. Mr: Finkler explained that the State Division of Highways will not give an o. k. on any signs until the sites are chosen and approved. Mr. Fred Shick.of the Federal Sign Company said he thinks the biggest concern facing the City of Redding is the limited site locations for signs. He said it is a matte r of getting a location and then fitting the display to it. Mr. Shick favors finding sign locations, having them approved by the State and then asking the sig;n industry to prepare sign�s for them. Mr. Shick.said there are. on-ly fou,r'regular site locations between Redding and Anderson and three are under contract. The matter was tabled until the meeting_ of May 1 at which time the Sign Committee _and�Mr. Finkler haye been requested to make progress re- ports. ELEGTION OF MAYOR AND VICE MAYOR MOTION:.

Public Works Director Arness submitted a recommendation that Council approve acquisition of two parcels of property on Placer Street at Regent Avenue (House and Hutfeldt) in order to control access to Placer Street. The area involved was shown on the Vu Graph and explained by- Associate Civil Engineer Fred Mathis. This recommendation is based on the de- termination that Placer Street will be carrying an increasing volume of speeds in excess of 25 miles per hour and should, for the public's safety and convenience, be subject to controlled limited access from abutting property. The estimated cost of acquiring this property is $7, 500. Members of Council questioned the necessity of.purchasing all of the property indicated on the map. Mr. Arness said that a study would be made and if it proved feasible to acq.uire a lesser amount of the property costwise, this would be done. ��ZF MOTION: Made'by Councilman Chatfield, seconded by Councilman Denny approving the„recommeridation of the Director of Public Works. re. � �`�' acquisition of two parcels of property on Placer Street at the cheapest possible price to prov�ide acce5s control.
