Of these five sites, the State would have control over only one. The proposed sites are: 1. For motorists travelling south, a sign is proposed to be located 1, 000 ft, southerly from Churn Creek, about 3, 000 ft. north of the Y where old Hiway 99 leaves Interstate 5. This site is available for purchase. 2. For motorists travelling south, a sign to be located north of of the Shasta Street off ramp at the northern boundary line of Rockway Subdivision. . This location is under State control; however, Mr. Finkler said he had been in contact with repre- sentatives of the �tate Division of Highways office in Sacramento and it is entirely possible that an application from the City would be app roved. � f u�`� 3. For motorists travelling north, a sign to be located at the north line of the Lutheran Church property or at the south line of the Hemsted property. Mr. Finkler said he favors the Lutheran Church property. This sign would be north of the Cypress Street interchange and south of the Tehama Street off ramp. 4. For motorists travelling north, a sign to be located either at the • southern boundary of the Rother School or the northern boundary of the Shirley Subdivision, just south of the Hartnell overpass. T'his '.:.s i gn�. would be for motorists wishing to leave the freeway at the Cypress Street off ramp. 5. For motorists travelling north, a sign to be located south of . Ande rs on on the north line of the T risdale p rope rty whe re the auction yard is situated. � Mr. Finkle r said he had not contacted prope rty owne rs as he thinks se ri•ous thought should be given to long term leases instead of fee purchase in some instances. He commented that these sites could be obsolete within 25 years and might not serve the purpose for which they are intended. It was necessary to interrupt these proceedings at this point in order to hold a scheduled public hearing. Continued on page 105.

Mr. Finkler said he hadn't but that he would do so. . _ ,. . . ,: � _ � . . . . . , . Lou Grush appeared before Council and spoke in favor of locating a sign south of Anderson. He stated that he has actually found the mileage and time consumed-between Anderson and .Redding to be less� if Old Highway 99 is used rather than the freeway. It is his belief that one of the main factors in directing motorists off the freeway south of Anderson is that it allows a multiple choice sooner for motels, restaurants, etc. Mr. Anderlini (Saratoga=M'otel) also appeared before Council and said he ��� was responsible for the letter dated April 18th to Council, signed b� businessmen in South Redding which protested Council action on the dir- ectional signs. He said he is hopeful that this program can get underway soon as business in South Redding is hurting. Mayor Moty �said he would like to g.o- on record that he feels he was in error and wishes to ta.ke the blame and fu-11 responsibility for the_ existing confusion re.garding tlie dire.ctional signs. He believes.he should have . appointed a Council Committee of two Councilmen to wor.k=-with_one�..repre- sentative from the motel-restaurant industry instead of the committee consisting of two Councilmen, two representatives of the Civic Arts Comrnission`,� arid members of the industry, which resulted�:in a. great deal of wasted time and effort. Mayor Moty apologized to the Council Committee and to the members of the motel-restaurant industry for the method he used in appointing the Committee. It was again necessary to interrupt these proceedings at this point in order to hold scheduled Public Hearings.
